Cultivation: Starting from a Mortal Bone

”You... let go of me.”

Bai Yaoyin’s body stiffened; this guy always started with holding hands before. Why is he being so direct tonight?

Could it be that he truly wants...

Bai Yaoyin felt a flutter in her heart.

If Qin Yu truly wants it, should she refuse?

Or should she listen to her father’s words and satisfy his every need?

Bai Yaoyin was completely unaware of how alluring she looked under the moonlight; her bashful expression was like a fairy stepping out from a painting, a beauty so dreamy it felt surreal.

During Bai Yaoyin’s random musings, her feet had already followed Qin Yu to the front of the room.

”The wind is strong outside, shall we go in?”

Listening to the man’s voice, Bai Yaoyin’s cheeks flushed red with embarrassment, not daring to lift her head and meet his eyes.

They’re both cultivators, how could he come up with such a flimsy excuse?

Before Bai Yaoyin could refuse, Qin Yu had already pushed open the door.

The sight that met their eyes was a refined lady’s bedchamber, and what captivated Qin Yu most was undoubtedly the intricately carved sandalwood bed, with its pink sheer curtains gently draping down like clouds, tempting one to want to step into the clouds to play.

However, Qin Yu did not act so presumptuously but brought Bai Yaoyin to the table and chairs next to the bed.

”Are the matters within the family taken care of?”

Qin Yu did not withdraw his hand and continued to hold her slender waist, enjoying the smooth and delicate sensation, unwilling to let go.

”Hmm, thank you, Qin Keqing, for your intervention.”

Bai Yaoyin’s voice was as soft as a mosquito’s buzz; the strange sensation around her waist made her shy to the point she didn’t dare to lift her head.

”Still calling me Guest Minister?”

Qin Yu’s lips curled into a smile; comparatively, he liked it better when Bai Yaoyin wasn’t so distant.

”Then, how should I address you?”

Bai Yaoyin lifted her head slightly, but when her gaze met his fiery eyes, she avoided it as if she had been electrified.

”Calling me Lang Jun works too.”

Qin Yu joked.

As soon as he finished speaking, he clearly felt the skin under his hand suddenly tense.

Bai Yaoyin still couldn’t fully let go.

At this moment, Bai Yaoyin’s mind was chaotic.

Although the term Lang Jun differs by one character from Fu Jun, Qin Yu’s words clearly imply the same as husband, how could she not feel embarrassed?

”Is even that not okay? Then how do you plan to thank me?”

Qin Yu gently squeezed, feeling the warm jade against his chest, the unique fragrance of a woman invigorating him.

Bai Yaoyin didn’t know how to respond.

Indeed, what Qin Yu did was a tremendous kindness to the entire Bai family.

Moreover, he solved her and her father’s urgent problems.

How could she ever repay such a great debt?

With resources?

Does Qin Yu lack them?

As for the other benefits that the Carefree Pavilion could offer, none seemed to compare to the heavy identity of a Royal Court Tributor within the Great Yan Royal Family.

”How about...”

Qin Yu gently lowered his head, whispering a few words by her ear.

”Swoosh!”

Bai Yaoyin’s ears turned red instantly, her small head buried in Qin Yu’s arms, not daring to lift it.

Actually, she could sense that what Qin Yu suggested as gratitude was just a joke, but such a request...

”I, I can’t.”

Bai Yaoyin’s voice was barely detectable, her small head buried even more into Qin Yu’s arms, not daring to lift.

”I can teach you.”

”No, don’t.”

The night was serene, and the lights had just come on.

That night, Qin Yu didn’t force Bai Yaoyin; he felt that as long as his attitude was slightly stronger, she wouldn’t be able to resist.

However, though Bai Yaoyin was grateful, she ultimately wasn’t yet one of his own.

Considering the secret of the Warm Current, Qin Yu dared not take any risks.

Otherwise, how could those four uniquely charming alien race girls from the Carefree Pavilion still remain till now?

”Be mindful of your attire in the future, don’t let others see it.”

Qin Yu tidied his robe, stood up.

Until his presence disappeared from the small courtyard, amidst the bed curtains, a newly dressed silhouette slowly extended her small head.

Bai Yaoyin lightly patted the bedding with her hand, as if reluctant, her mouth lightly pouting, why so stern, doesn’t he know yet?

Thinking of the ripples from last night, the blush on her face had yet to fade.

Although nothing happened, almost everything else was given away.

This guy, he’s really too wicked!

But...

Despite her awareness beginning to waver, at the critical moment, Qin Yu seemed to sense she hadn’t fully given in and duly respected her, not forcibly taking anything.

Thinking of this, Bai Yaoyin felt a burst of warmth in her heart.

It seems, he wasn’t doing it for her body.

Bai Yaoyin lay on the bed, seemingly reminiscing the lingering warmth, when suddenly, a Sound Transmission Stone vibrated lightly.

”Sister, are you still in the Great Yan Imperial Capital?”

As soon as it was connected, a silver bell-like pleasant voice came from inside.

”Sister, where are you?”

Upon hearing this familiar voice, Bai Yaoyin instantly woke up, sat up straight, her perfect elegance revealed, partially visible through the thin veil curtain, with several bright red...

Qin Yu’s exclusive marks.

”Tonight I will reach the Great Yan Imperial Capital.”

Bai Yaosha’s voice contained some excitement as well.

Hearing that her father asked her to find her sister, she almost cried tears of joy.

In the past few years, except for her father, she didn’t even dare to contact her sister.

After all, within the Carefree Pavilion, there are definitely spy eyes of the clan elders. She didn’t want to bring trouble to her sister.

Speaking of which, it’s been nearly four years since the sisters last met.

”You’re coming to find me?”

After a moment of surprise, Bai Yaoyin’s small face was filled with joy again.

After the sisters, separated for a long time, exchanged a conversation through the sound transmission, Bai Yaoyin reluctantly hung up.

Her sister coming to find her was surely approved by their father.

That means her father has confidence in suppressing those elders who have been searching for her sister?!

Suddenly, Bai Yaoyin’s gaze fell on herself, and her expression became somewhat unnatural.

How am I supposed to meet my sister like this?

What if she sees it, how should I explain?

...

In the Great Yan Immortal Country, there are ten forbidden territories, among which the top three are also known as infernal lands.

Unlike forbidden territories, forbidden territories are extremely dangerous, yet some people can still survive them.

Infernal lands, however, are where no one survives!

Fallen God Abyss.

Looking down from mid-air, on the plain is a terrifying canyon resembling a scar on the earth.

Legend has it that this infernal land was left from turbulent ancient times, and existed in this world even before the Great Yan Immortal Country was established.

In the abyss, everything is pitch-black, even light falling into it is swallowed up completely by this mouth of darkness.

Vaguely, there seem to be the howls of gods and demons emanating from the abyss, earth-shaking sounds that any living being who hears will lose their mind, unknowingly step into the infernal lands with no chance of survival.

Therefore, the area within a hundred miles around the Fallen God Abyss has been carefully demarcated, becoming an absolute forbidden zone.

However, today is different from the past. In the vast barren land, two small black dots are swiftly flying low.

Their direction of flight is precisely toward the Fallen God Abyss!

The two are clothed in long black robes, their figures completely wrapped within, and if Qin Yu saw them, she would instantly recognize that the eerie aura on these two black-robed figures is almost identical to those of the black-robed figures who intercepted the flying ship, indicating a common origin.

There seems to be a faint layer of black fog enveloping them, isolating the howls that would typically cause living beings to lose their minds, not affecting them.

”The perception of that existence is indeed sharp, even the Venerable Lord’s discreet methods were perceived by her.”

”After all, being among the top three empresses among the nine emperors, she should have been on guard long ago.”

The two black-robed figures rapidly flew past, their exchange within the black fog contained a hint of unmistakable resentment.

”I have only collected seventy percent of the energy, not sure if it will fulfill the Venerable Lord’s command.”

One black-robed figure touched the item on his chest, a bit unwilling.

”Don’t mention it, compared to the reserved eleven, we’re considered lucky. Any further delay, and if discovered by the Leader of Flame Guard, none of us will benefit.”

As the two conversed, they soon reached about ten miles near the Fallen God Abyss.

At this moment, the area seemed to possess a mysterious force, compelling them to abandon flying, landing swiftly on the ground, rushing toward the enormous chasm in front of them.

Even when walking, with one step, they seemed to cover a hundred feet distance.

In just a few moments, they had arrived before the Fallen God Abyss.

The two exchanged a glance, without a hint of hesitation, one took out a black bead from his chest.

Within the bead, there seemed to be an energy of utmost evil and wickedness swirling, an eerie aura emanating through the bead.

The howls of gods and demons that originally lingered near the Fallen God Abyss stopped bizarrely.

In the pitch-black abyss, as if it had a pair of black eyes, was staring closely at the black bead in the hands of the two.

In the next moment, the two black-robed figures bit the tip of their tongues, spitting out a strand of essence blood, and then, the two hands formed seals, uttering incantations that were obscure and hard to understand.

”Buzz!...”

With their actions, the two black beads seemed controlled by an invisible force, slowly floating above the giant abyss.

”Crack!”

At the next moment, a crack suddenly appeared on one bead, followed by a wave of highly evil and terrifying black qi swirling out, within the black qi, there seemed to be countless wailing souls, producing extremely fierce sounds.

The black fog did not spread across the world but was drawn toward the abyss below.

The Fallen God Abyss seemed like a black giant mouth, swallowing all the energy that permeated within.

After a long while, the two black-robed figures appeared exhausted, their bodies trembling slightly uncontrollably, while the two black beads turned nearly transparent, with the evil energy inside completely devoured.

”Roar!”

As the two beads lost support and shattered on the ground, the black abyss below seemed to writhe, a terrifying roar resembling the furious roar of gods and demons.

”We are here to perform the ritual under the command of the Venerable Lord!”

Their eyes under the masks flashed with deep apprehension, one respectfully said.

As the words fell, black and red qi intertwined above the abyss, forming eyes filled with a crimson color.

The eyes were indifferent, containing an evil aura that is incompatible with this world.

The two black-robed figures bowed and knelt, not daring to meet those eyes.

However, even in face of their sincere kneeling, the eyes remained open, still not satisfied.

”Boom!”

In the next moment, the fog surrounding the two black-robed figures weakened, their figures became rigid suddenly, then stood up blankly, as if losing consciousness, slowly stepping into the endless abyss.
