"Daddy, Daddy!"
At this crucial moment, the little mouse girl rushed out from the carriage and, under everyone's watchful eyes, suddenly pounced in front of the big cat,
"Don't hit it, don't hit it!"
The mouse crowd was momentarily stunned, seeing this scene, even Old Mouse's face turned stiff.
"What's going on? What's going on? Why are you protecting the cat?"
A mouse squeaked out.
Old Mouse pointed at the big cat and roared:
"Did you threaten my daughter just to capture us all at once?!"
The big cat, being angrily scolded, roared back, "If I wanted to capture all of you, I would've acted long ago, why would I threaten your daughter?"
Old Mouse demanded: "Then why can't I figure out why she's protecting you?"
"Because I'm having an affair with your daughter!" the big cat shouted back, "Of course, you can't figure it out! Would I tell you that I'm having an affair with your daughter?"
Eek?
All the mice gasped.
Chen Yi felt a slight tremor on his shoulder and heard a "hiss."
Turning his head, he realized Yin Weiyin had also gasped.
The tense and murderous atmosphere was heightened, only to see the little mouse girl pounce on the big cat, claiming that they were genuinely in love.
The events that followed didn't need much explanation — it was all about defying parents' orders, making vows of eternal love, and causing a mess of chaos. Old Mouse couldn't bear to take his daughter back, but even if he wanted to make them whole, he couldn't explain it to Lord Wuchang.
At this point, Chen Yi spoke up:
"We'll go see Lord Wuchang ourselves, just let the bride take us there."
With these words, Old Mouse thought long and hard, and seeing his daughter so determined, after some noisy quarrelling, he agreed.
The Old Mouse said: "Then we'll leave it to you, young sir and miss."
And so, Chen Yi and Yin Weiyin set off on the remaining journey with the little mouse girl and the big black cat.
Watching them leave, Old Mouse's face was full of worry, his eyebrows even turning white from despair.
He turned to the group of mice who came to see them off:
"Folks, let's disperse. My daughter is unfilial, and I'm useless, causing trouble for everyone."
Yin Weiyin turned back, seeing from afar that Old Mouse's figure seemed more stooped.
This scene was imprinted in Yin Weiyin's mind.
Even when they reached a cave to rest,
Yin Weiyin couldn't shake it off.
She thought inexplicably of her father.
Did I also make things difficult for Father?
In the cave, Yin Weiyin's eyebrow slightly lowered.
To cultivate immortality requires distancing from worldly affairs; family ties are just one of the emotions and desires to sever. Yet ever since getting involved with Chen Yi, the ties with the mortal world have only deepened.
In her melancholy thoughts, Yin Weiyin felt her collar being tugged.
Turning her head, she saw Chen Yi, still in his mouse form, staring at her.
"Turn me back," Chen Yi said flatly.
Humans speak human words, and beasts speak beast language, but those who transform into beasts understand both.
Now in the cave, the little mouse girl and the big black cat had been asked to leave; they were happy to find a place to be lovey-dovey, promising to meet again the next morning.
Yin Weiyin turned her face away, initially intending to utter the word "release," but seeing his current form, a thought flashed through her mind:
"No."
Chen Yi paused, she usually did whatever he asked, but now she was acting completely differently.
Seeing his reaction, Yin Weiyin's lips curled into a smile. They say he's just an ordinary person, even if he formed a Golden Core, he learned few Taoist Skills, and now he still needs others' help to return to human form.
The female crown pinched his nape and casually placed him in her palm:
"I thought you were worthy of 'Heavenly Vision,' didn't expect this day, huh."
Chen Yi looked up at her, his voice cold, "What do you want, Yin Weiyin."
His voice was somewhat chilly, making the female crown shiver involuntarily.
Coming to her senses, Yin Weiyin stared back at him and sneered:
"Do you think I fear you now?"
Chen Yi looked silently at this woman who couldn't be reasoned with. This transformation spell wasn't permanent, it had a time limit, and it would naturally be undone when the time came.
Moreover, it's not impossible to forcibly break it now, just a bit costly.
Just as Chen Yi was contemplating, a finger poked over.
From a human's perspective, it was a slender jade finger; from Chen Yi's current perspective, it seemed like a thick stick. She pressed Chen Yi's head hard, pinning him in her palm.
Then Chen Yi was startled.
Yin Weiyin's jade finger hooked slightly, swiftly rubbing his backside.
Chen Yi was a bit dumbfounded, while the female crown quickly satisfied her grievances, secretly cursing him in her heart, "You little mouse dare to stop me from becoming immortal?"
"Do you think you can escape my Five Fingers Mountain?"
"Even though I stumbled and ended up at your mercy, do you really think you're the master? Although my level isn't as high as yours, my immortal heart is no lesser," her thoughts led her to full calmness.
"Yin Weiyin!"
A shout came from her palm.
The female crown got goosebumps but still stopped, looking calmly at Chen Yi in her palm.
Chen Yi took a deep breath, trying to speak with as much calm as possible:
"Turn me back."
Seeing him suppress his anger, the female crown felt inexplicably fearful, thinking if she toyed with him at her whim, wouldn't she be in trouble once he returned to his form?
But if she didn't turn him back and when he returned on his own, wouldn't she be in more trouble?
Thinking of every time he rolled his eyes, Yin Weiyin couldn't help but tremble with her fingertips.
Given the situation, since she'd be in trouble one way or another,
why not continue to enjoy for a bit first...
Then, just before he returns, turn him back?!
With this thought, Yin Weiyin curled her lips into a smile:
"Call me 'good elder sister' and I'll turn you back."
Chen Yi, with an odd expression, said: "I'm two years older than you."
"Isn't that alright?" The female crown teased with a smile, pressing his head, "...little brother."
Chen Yi: "..."
Finally, someone could make him feel at a disadvantage even once. Yin Weiyin increasingly had the demeanor of a Goddess, speaking of herself in third person with amusement-filled eyes.
Then, tendrils of white smoke arose.
The female crown's face suddenly froze, immediately bewildered.
He was actually breaking the spell, trying to overcome the constraint of the spell.
Upon realizing this, Yin Weiyin hastily reacted: "Release!"
Then she let go, and he fell to the ground, white smoke billowing up, and Chen Yi's form emerged amidst the smoke.
Yin Weiyin saw half his face veiled in shadow, and in panic, she stepped back, sitting down on the ground, repeating:
"It's released, it's released! I've released it! Husband, husband!"
Chen Yi's lips slightly curled up, with a smile, he asked:
"Good elder sister?"
Yin Weiyin backed up to the rock wall, her hands trembling, her face alternating between red and white.
Watching Chen Yi approach step by step, she jerked in a panic and said hastily:
"Not good elder sister, not good elder sister, good elder brother, good elder brother is fine, you are the good elder brother!"
Just as Chen Yi slowly took out a bed from the Square Land and set up soundproofing talismans in the cave,
before long,
the cave resounded with the female crown's flustered voice when she rolled her eyes.
"Good elder brother! Good elder brother!"
"Wrong, I was wrong, really, I truly realized my mistake."
"Woo... Infinite Heavenly Venerable, I won't be a good elder sister anymore!"
