I Might Be A Fake Cultivator - Chapter 1609
Chapter 1609: Fanning the Flames
Patriarch Zhu Yin was startled upon hearing this. “You’re going to flaunt your love to my dao partner?”
“Not your dao partner, your ex-dao partner,” An Lin corrected.
Patriarch Zhu Yin’s heart throbbed with pain upon hearing this, but he still nodded reluctantly and agreed to An Lin’s plan.
Even though it was not very morally correct to do this, everything would be justifiable if he could reignite Li Yiyin’s love for him.
An Lin, Xu Xiaolan, and Tina built a temporary house and settled down to live here.
Patriarch Zhu Yin also had a house of his own here, but An Lin encouraged him to move a little closer to Li Yiyin. Ding Xiaoru thought about it for a bit before building another small cabin beside Li Yiyin’s house.
The almighty Patriarch Zhu Yin who was a legendary figure across the entire continent was now playing the role of a rebound, trying to help Li Yiyin emerge from the trauma of her heartbreak.
Thus, everyone settled down for now.
Li Yiyin knew that An Lin and the others weren’t going to leave. However, she didn’t want to see An Lin again, so she stayed in her room constantly, thinking that she would be able to avoid seeing them that way.
However, she quickly discovered that she was far too naive.
The scent of stir-fried meat wafted into her room, bringing with it a lethal temptation.
It was impossible to describe what type of smell this was. It was way too delicious! It was something to die for!
Even though she was already trying her best to hold herself back, her legs still betrayed her and carried her out the door, upon which she discovered An Lin cooking outside her room while Xu Xiaolan wiped the sweat off his forehead in a thoughtful gesture, creating a joyous and harmonious scene.
“Gulp…” Li Yiyin swallowed involuntarily.
An undetectable smile appeared on An Lin’s face. No one could resist the cooking of the Heavenly Court Chef God!
Seeing as she had already fallen for the trap, she would just have to stand there and watch!
Sure enough, Li Yiyin couldn’t bring herself to beg for food from them, so she could only look on as An Lin and Xu Xiaolan fed each other with love overflowing from their eyes.
She had almost been forced to tears! It wasn’t enough that they were torturing her stomach, they were even flaunting their love in front of her!
How cruel and inhumane!
At this moment, a man suddenly approached her.
“Do you want something to eat, Yiyin? How about I cook something for you? My cooking skills are quite good as well,” Ding Xiaoru said with a warm and gentle expression.
“Hmph.” Li Yiyin harrumphed coldly before ducking back into her room.
Ding Xiaoru was not dejected in the slightest. Instead, his smile grew even wider.
In the next few days, An Lin and Xu Xiaolan continued to assault her with a combination of irresistible food and gooey love. Li Yiyin felt like she was going to be tormented to the point of insanity, and she almost moved away from here.
However, after thinking about it carefully, she realized that moving now would be no different from admitting defeat!
She was unwilling to yield!
Furthermore, for some reason, the repeated assaults An Lin and Xu Xiaolan were initiating against her heart made her gradually recognize some things, as if her confused and clouded heart was becoming clear again.
Time flew by.
One day, Li Yiyin walked out of her house for some fresh air and arrived at the boundless sea of flowers.
She was initially planning to look up at the sky to reminisce about Chang’e, who was situated on the moon, when she discovered An Lin and Xu Xiaolan, both of whom were sitting outside on some rocks.
They were sidled up against one another, looking out across the sea of flowers, appearing extremely happy together.
“Hmph… stupid Chang’e…
“Why hasn’t An Lin left yet? How many days has it been already? Are they determined to give me depression?” Li Yiyin pouted as she turned toward Ding Xiaoru.
“They like the sea of flowers here, and they told me that they wanted to stay here for a few more days. It’s not like I can just kick them out.” Ding Xiaoru shrugged with a resigned expression.
Li Yiyin was completely speechless. An Lin and Xu Xiaolan were tearing open the wounds on her heart every day before pouring salt onto them!
She felt like she could still hear An Lin’s words echoing in her mind.
You’re just a pitiful woman who has been played by Chang’e! Think about it. Has Chang’e come to visit you even once in the past several hundred years? You were just a one-night-stand to her!
Those words were like a sharp knife piercing right through her heart, making it difficult for her to breathe.
Chang’e had gone to make her breakthrough to the Dao Integration Stage, and Li Yiyin had waited for her and even prayed for her for several hundred years. However, Chang’e had found someone new in the blink of an eye, and apparently, she was going to pass on her Moon Palace to this new lover of hers. Was this how Chang’e was going to repay her for her love?
Tears began to well up in Li Yiyin’s eyes again.
At this moment, a paper towel appeared before her.
Li Yiyin’s expression faltered slightly, and she looked up with teary eyes at the man standing before her.
The man smiled. “I can’t embrace you as your dao partner in your time of sadness, but I can still hand you a paper towel.”
Li Yiyin’s heart shuddered slightly, and she accepted the paper towel before wiping at her tears. “This is none of your business.”
“Your business is my business,” Ding Xiaoru said with an earnest expression.
Li Yiyin fell silent.
She only began speaking in a slow voice after a short while, “Ding Xiaoru, I betrayed you and made your cultivation base plummet. You are the most regal being in the entire Ghost Tribe. Can’t you have a bit more resolve and backbone?”
She raised her teary eyes to look at Ding Xiaoru’s gentle expression as she urged in a hoarse voice, “Hit me! I’m a bad woman who cheated on you! So why don’t you hit me? Why would you hold back your resentment toward me? Why do you beg for me to come back like you’re the one who did something wrong?!”
“I’m not holding back, and I’m not angry. As long as you’re willing to come back, I can forgive you!” Ding Xiaoru spoke with an earnest expression.
On a rock not far away, Tina was stealing glances at the exchange taking place between the two of them. She felt like her outlook on life was being transformed by their conversation.
“Ding Xiaoru!” Li Yiyin gritted her teeth as her tears began to flow down her face. “Why are you such a coward!? You don’t even dare to hit me! Are you even a man?!”
Slap!!!
The sound of a slap shocked heaven and earth.
Ding Xiaoru had slapped Li Yiyin through the air for over ten thousand meters.
Li Yiyin threw up a mouthful of blood and toppled an entire mountain before her momentum was finally arrested.
Tina was astonished.
An Lin and Xu Xiaolan were still flaunting their love when their display of affection came to an abrupt halt, and they drew a sharp intake of breath at the sight of the scenes unfolding behind them.
Holy f*ck!
That escalated way too quickly!
Li Yiyin clearly wasn’t actually asking him to hit her!
Was Ding Xiaoru trying to slap Li Yiyin to death?
This mission was ruined!
A dazzling stream of light flew through the air from the toppled mountain toward Ding Xiaoru.
Li Yiyin dove into Ding Xiaoru’s arms before sobbing as she drove her fists into his chest. “You b*stard! I told you to hit me, but you didn’t have to hit me so hard!”
She was not kidding. The left side of her face had completely swelled up, and there was still blood trickling down the corners of her lips.
Ding Xiaoru enveloped Li Yiyin in a tight hug. “After that slap, we can leave the past behind, and you no longer owe me anything. Can we start over again?”
Li Yiyin’s body shuddered in his arms.
Ding Xiaoru tightened his arms around her even further upon seeing this.
“Alright…” Li Yiyin nodded with tears streaming down her face.
Tina’s eyes lit up, and she wore a thoughtful expression as she appraised this situation.
Meanwhile, An Lin and Xu Xiaolan drew another sharp intake of breath.
What the hell was that?!
