Cultivation: Starting from a Mortal Bone

Chapter 520: Chapter 479: You Damn Tyrant!

”Huh, why has the temperature dropped again?”

Qin Yu shivered slightly and thus became more respectful, even his gaze turned more sincere.

...

Imperial Palace, Imperial Garden.

Each spirit beast sat on the open ground like a human.

Vaguely visible before them, a graceful figure was present, seemingly imparting teachings. Her small mouth opened and closed continuously, and as she walked, the Great Phoenix flapped its wings exaggeratedly in front of her.

A sight to behold.

”Little Hua, Little Bai, I command you to quickly go to the realm of the Fire Miao Hall and capture that foolish emperor back!”

”What, are you afraid? With me backing you up, what is there to be afraid of?”

”You actually dare ask why I don’t go? If I were to leave, who would find you and your siblings good food?”

”You think you can find it yourself? That’s not acceptable. Since you’ve come to Jade Flower Palace, you’re my spirit pets. How can I let you suffer such grievances? You only need to capture that foolish emperor for me!”

The Empress Dowager looked at the spirit beasts with a face of disappointment, giving them a lecture.

However, the spirit beasts had already formed initial intelligence. Some of them were indistinguishable from ordinary humans and didn’t dare to undertake such an impossible mission.

But, they also didn’t dare to defy the Empress Dowager’s authority and could only sit there dumbfounded, listening to her endless chatter. Some spirit beasts were itching to leave yet didn’t dare to go away.

A few days ago, there were a couple of monkeys who sneaked away while the Empress Dowager wasn’t looking, only to be caught within a quarter of an hour. They are still hanging from a tree and haven’t been let down.

”Huh?”

Suddenly, the Empress Dowager paused her speech, her gaze swiftly turning to the horizon where a very familiar aura was rapidly approaching the imperial capital.

”Your Majesty?”

The Empress Dowager frowned slightly, a touch of crystalline moonlight power surged around her.

At that moment, she pushed aside previous concerns, wanting only to see the Empress, Little Ling’Er, and Qin Yu quickly.

It was evident that, at this moment, Qin Yu’s status in the Empress Dowager’s heart was still placed after the Empress and Little Ling’Er.

”Huh, it really is Your Majesty.”

”But, why has her aura... changed?”

The Empress Dowager, upon carefully sensing, couldn’t help but feel some confusion in her beautiful eyes.

In her perception, the Empress’s aura became more restrained, so much so that without her familiarity, she almost couldn’t sense it.

Could it be that the Empress’s cultivation has advanced further?

Something isn’t right.

Very not right.

However, the Empress Dowager couldn’t confirm the situation now and needs to observe up close.

Closer.

Closer.

Just returned to the Imperial Palace.

The Empress gave no instructions, just cast a cold glance at Qin Yu and went directly back to her sleeping quarters.

Just as the Empress Dowager was about to approach, she was blocked outside by an invisible barrier.

”Foolish emperor, do you have the guts to leave me like this for so long but lack the courage to face me?!”

The Empress Dowager gritted her teeth, eager to rush in to demand an explanation from the Empress.

Do you know how much I’ve suffered during this time?!

”Empress Dowager.”

Qin Yu seemed not yet recovered from that kind of reverence, soon respectfully saluting her.

”Qin Yu, you’re finally back!”

Hearing this familiar voice, the Empress Dowager was almost moved to tears, and the Great Phoenix trembled, flitting to Qin Yu’s side, affectionately clutching his arm.

However, what puzzled the Empress Dowager was that Qin Yu seemed somewhat... different.

He has changed.

Previously, as long as she got a bit closer, Qin Yu’s body temperature would rise, and his gaze would become extraordinarily fervent.

But today, Qin Yu was like a block of wood, with no change in body temperature, not even sparing her a glance.

The Empress Dowager was very angry!

What the heck is this?!

”Qin Yu, I’m speaking to you, why are you ignoring me?!”

The Empress Dowager displeasedly shook Qin Yu’s arm, inadvertently brushing against something.

Instantly, the Empress Dowager noticed that Qin Yu, who was once like a blazing sun, became even more radiant.

Hehe.

He changed, but the change wasn’t much!

Out of guilt, Qin Yu dared not get too close to the Empress Dowager, fearing that the Empress might rush out from her quarters and reprimand him.

”Huh, Qin Yu, why do you carry the Empress’s scent?”

The Empress Dowager wrinkled her nose and immediately recalled the scenes she ’saw’ some days ago.

The foolish emperor now avoids her, could it be he truly did something that let down Little Ling’Er?!

”Ahem, during this time, the Empress has been unwell, so I’ve been giving her... massages, perhaps that’s why I’m carrying some of her scent.”

This explanation satisfied the Empress within her chambers!

”Is that so, but I saw that you and the Empress seemed quite close...”

The Empress Dowager wanted to continue probing, but Qin Yu hastily changed the subject, ”Empress Dowager, you must miss Ling’Er, let me bring Ling’Er out...”

”Of course, I miss her!”

The Empress Dowager’s attention instantly shifted.

Soon, Qin Yu returned to the Lifebound Space, bringing out Little Ling’Er and a group of lovely wives.

”Empress Dowager.”

Upon seeing the Empress Dowager, Little Ling’Er reluctantly let go of Qin Yu’s hand and flew into her embrace.

Though only less than a month has passed in the outside world, in the Lifebound Space, several months have gone by!

Having not seen each other for so long, Little Ling’Er missed the Empress Dowager greatly as well.

Furthermore, after Brother Qin Yu initially returned to the Lifebound Space a few times, later on, he rarely came, only entering briefly every few days before leaving hastily.
