Chen Yi couldn't figure anything out no matter how he mulled over it, so he chose to give up for the time being.
For now, the urgent task was to head south, deliver the Sword Box to Dragon and Tiger Mountain, and then meet up with Zhou Yitang. Thinking this over, he leaned into Yin Tingxue's side and fell asleep.
A while later.
Yin Tingxue let out a soft "Mm" sound, her eyelids furrowing as she stirred awake. As she opened her eyes, she saw Chen Yi holding her in his arms.
He loved holding her—whenever they slept together, even without doing anything else, Chen Yi would always half-embrace her. At first, the young maiden wasn't used to it, but later, when she was living alone on Yin Sword Mountain, she found it hard to sleep without his arms around her.
"Awake?" Chen Yi asked.
"Mm…" Yin Tingxue murmured in response. She stretched her limbs, then climbed up and gazed out of the cabin.
