Cultivation: Starting from a Mortal Bone

However...

What she said seems to make sense.

As the clan leader, she has inherited the legacy of the former leader, having her guard Tu Jiujiu’s side seems nothing to worry about.

”Clan leader, shall we just go and confirm it, okay?”

Seeing she wasn’t reprimanded, Tu Jiujiu immediately continued to persuade.

The Beauty Clan Leader remained silent.

To speak honestly, she felt a bit conflicted internally.

If she hadn’t brought Tu Jiujiu out, she definitely could follow the aura to investigate on her own, but she was still somewhat worried.

Tu Jiujiu is the Spiritual Fox of the Qingqiu Race, the hope foretold to rejuvenate Qingqiu race.

Should there be any mishap, the entire Qingqiu race would be unable to accept it.

Due to her own curiosity, taking this risk; the Beauty Clan Leader truly couldn’t convince herself.

”There’s nothing much to see.”

The Beauty Clan Leader forcibly restrained the curiosity at the bottom of her heart, she was already a mature clan leader and couldn’t act recklessly.

”Clan leader, don’t you want to ask how that person managed to cross the Celestial Tribulation?”

Tu Jiujiu was still persistent, murmuring.

Upon hearing this, the Beauty Clan Leader’s heart skipped a beat, Celestial Tribulation...

Yes!

Every clan leader of Qingqiu Race has to shoulder the responsibility of collecting heaven’s might, to add some assurance for future clan members in crossing the Celestial Tribulation.

Since someone has successfully crossed the Celestial Tribulation, going to ask is considered rightful business, isn’t it?

The Beauty Clan Leader was tempted.

This isn’t due to her own curiosity, but for the future of Qingqiu race!

”We can go find that person, but you must obediently listen and not leave my side.”

The Beauty Clan Leader didn’t forget to caution, saying: ”Otherwise...”

”I know, if I’m naughty, I’ll be caught by monsters and never return.”

Tu Jiujiu’s exquisite, beautiful face lit up brilliantly, as for the scare tactics she had heard since young, she was already immune to them.

”Hmph.”

The Beauty Clan Leader coldly snorted and lightly twitched her nose, soon locking in a direction.

That person was with the Great Yan Empress.

Did they go to the Great Yan Imperial Capital?

She hesitated a little.

Though she was the clan leader of Qingqiu Race, she had never interacted with big figures of the Human Race, but, as Qingqiu Race had always remained aloof from worldly affairs, the Emperor of the Immortal Country likely wouldn’t provoke them for no reason, right?

...

Qin Yu followed the Empress back to the Imperial Capital, completely unaware two little foxes were trailing behind.

Empress seemed too exhausted, she didn’t even go to the Imperial Study and headed directly to her sleeping quarters to rest.

”Oh, Qin Yu, you seem a bit different.”

The Empress Dowager sized up Qin Yu from top to bottom; previously, Qin Yu was as dazzling as a blazing sun, even getting close could make her distinctly feel it.

The current Qin Yu, still appeared incandescent to the naked eye, but in perception, there wasn’t the obviousness of before, without intentionally perceiving, one couldn’t detect Qin Yu’s presence.

It was as if he had completely merged into the surrounding world.

”What looks different?”

Not seen for a while, Qin Yu missed the Empress Dowager quite a bit.

The Great Phoenix defying gravity’s law could only be seen on the Empress Dowager.

The Empress Dowager didn’t rush to answer, she circled Qin Yu once, finally nodding solemnly, saying: ”You look more like a man.”

”What?”

Qin Yu was startled, what did this mean?

Could it be, in the Empress Dowager’s eyes, he wasn’t considered a man before?!

This couldn’t be tolerated!

Should he prove it to the Empress Dowager?

Qin Yu didn’t know, in the Empress Dowager’s eyes, he was akin to a scorching sun, distinct from others; it was precisely why she initially didn’t resist getting close to him.

That day, Qin Yu did not go to the Carefree Pavilion.

While crossing the Celestial Tribulation, he sensed his wives’ worries, thus tonight he must return to the Lifebound Space to properly comfort his wives.

Just returned to Lifebound Space, Lin Shuishui and Zhao Mengli flew into his arms.

During the day at Jade Flower Palace, they didn’t come out to disturb Little Ling’Er and the Empress Dowager, finally waiting for his return, they were completely unable to restrain their inner longing.

”Brother-in-law, you scared Shuishui.”

Lin Shuishui nervously tugged at Qin Yu’s sleeve, observing no sign of injury on him, she then relaxed.

”I haven’t even started yet.”

Qin Yu playfully brushed the tip of her nose, intending to properly guide her...

Teaching her what it means to be frightened.

Although the Pure Yang Divine Body hadn’t yet broken through the Fifth Layer, after the Celestial Tribulation’s baptism, his body became even more formidable.

Soon, Lin Shuishui personally experienced that Qin Yu wasn’t just all talk.

The two most inexperienced girls couldn’t even last half an hour, daring not to be mischievous anymore.

Then, Lin Qianqian entered the room to cover them with blankets.

Really... not the slightest shame.

Although all those who could enter Lifebound Space were sisters, Little Ling’Er hadn’t experienced anything yet, and as she was the Princess, she mustn’t witness such a chaotic scene.

”Husband, are you alright?”

Next moment, the virtuous Lin Qianqian was embraced by large hands, she didn’t resist, raising her delicate face slightly, revealing eyes filled with unconcealable worry.

”Of course, I’m fine.”

Qin Yu couldn’t bear to tease Lin Qianqian, he fully understood his little wife’s unwavering care for him.

Lin Qianqian was his first little wife and the most gentle and virtuous one.

Soon, Qin Yu used his might to prove he was unharmed, while Lin Qianqian tenderly embraced all of him like water.

...

The Empress Dowager had just entered the sleeping quarters, her gaze falling on the bed.

Through the thin veil, a graceful figure could be faintly seen, her skin like delicate porcelain, eyes closed, long eyelashes fluttering like butterfly wings, after removing the loose Dragon Robe, the sheer attire couldn’t conceal her perfect curves.

”Qin Yu has gone back?”

Noticing the Empress Dowager’s return, the Empress’s gentle voice sounded.

”Mm.”

”Your Majesty, what’s the matter?”

The Empress Dowager casually replied, then curiously asked.

Usually, the Empress spends most of her time in the Imperial Study handling governmental affairs, why had she slept from the time she returned today?

”Nothing.”

The Empress seemed to lack even the strength to shake her head, speaking softly without explaining further.

The Empress Dowager belatedly realized the anomaly, immediately stepping forward briskly, lifting the bed veil.

The Empress glanced at her, seeing the Empress Dowager’s eyes full of worry, she didn’t scold her at the moment.

Alright, this mischievous bird never understood etiquette.

”Your Majesty, are you injured?”

The Empress Dowager felt even more uneasy, the tyrant unexpectedly didn’t scold her, this wasn’t right.

”It’s nothing.”

The Empress said softly.

The hidden dangers in Fallen God Abyss were more challenging than the Empress imagined.

Even with Qin Yu’s intervention, allowing her not to face them amidst the hostility, a bitter battle was nonetheless inevitable.

”Let me have a look.”

Without allowing for rebuttal, the Empress Dowager grasped the Empress’s wrist and began to examine.

After a brief moment, the Empress Dowager’s eyes appeared puzzled.

It seemed... there was no difference?

Nor did she find any hidden ailment.

Could it be the Empress was feigning illness, waiting for her to make a mistake, so she could scold her?

”In a few days, I will need to retreat for a period.”

The Empress retrieved her hand; the problem with her, such matters couldn’t be seen by the Empress Dowager.

What troubled the Empress was that what she planned to delay before confronting, following this trip, might have to be faced sooner.

This is perhaps the price that must be paid.

”Your Majesty, shall I invite Qin Yu to treat you?”

Seeing her in such condition, the Empress Dowager couldn’t care if it was a trap set to scold her.

She was genuinely worried about the Empress’s health.
