By evening, Anhou took out the bronze tripod to cook another meal for Chen Yi. This time, Chen Yi didn't decline, eating with delight, while the others, seeing the bronze tripod filled with copper rust, chose to stick to their simple dry rations.
After dinner, Chen Yi had a brief chat with Anhou before deciding to sleep. In the underground palace, he could only rest in the burial chambers. Fortunately, he was close to the main chamber. The surrounding chambers were either empty tombs meant for divine beings or served other purposes.
Tossing the outer layer of his clothing onto the stone bed, Chen Yi pulled Yin Tingxue into his arms. The girl let out a sharp "Ah!" before gasping twice and settling down obediently.
"How have you been these past few days?"
Chen Yi asked, feeling that he genuinely missed her.
Especially since he often felt uneasy in front of Anhou, he missed those times where he could act domineering in front of Yin Tingxue.
"Not much really..."
