Cultivation: Starting from a Mortal Bone

Chapter 530: Chapter 486: So Superficial

”The Ancestral Gods haven’t responded.”

The expression on the Flower Fairy’s face instantly dimmed.

She knew it wasn’t a lack of devotion on her part, but rather...

The Ancient Tree of Life was already teetering on the brink of death.

The Queen of Elves came over gently to support her and said, ”It’s not your fault, you needn’t blame yourself.”

Even so, a sorrowful emotion emanated from both of them.

It wasn’t their fault; it was that this land was heading towards... exhaustion.

For a while.

Then the Queen of Elves asked the Flower Fairy, ”Did you gain anything on this excursion?”

She had been in seclusion within the trunk until today.

During her seclusion, she was using her own understood origin to replenish the Ancient Tree of Life.

But it was like a drop of rain falling in a vast desert.

Yet, Her Majesty persisted and continued to do this.

”Yes.”

A glimmer of light emerged in the dim eyes of the Flower Fairy.

”Yes?”

The originally unhopeful Queen seemed taken aback.

With a flip of her jade hand, the Flower Fairy took out the dry branch Qin Yu had placed in the Lifebound Space for a period of time.

The Queen of Elves cast her gaze upon it, her expression immediately changed, and she reached out to take the branch.

Originally, it was a completely dried and cracked barren branch that fell from the Ancient Tree of Life.

But now, its cracks had diminished significantly; the most crucial thing was that the branch had become... moist!

How could this be possible?!

Then, the Queen of Elves eagerly sensed the change.

Confirmed!

This was indeed a branch of the Ancient Tree of Life.

As the queen, she knew.

Water represents vitality; given time, a moist branch might sprout new buds.

Does this mean the Ancient Tree of Life has hope for revival?!

Did the Flower Fairy find the person indicated by the Ancestral Gods?

Without needing the Queen of Elves to ask, the Flower Fairy began explaining the reason for the branch’s transformation.

”A member of the Human Race?”

”A Human Race member at the Golden Core Realm?”

Even the Queen of Elves found it unbelievable.

But upon learning that this Human Race member at the Golden Core Realm was a royal court tributor of the Great Yan Immortal Country, she set aside her doubts.

The Cultivation level was indeed a bit low.

However, being a royal court tributor at the Golden Core Cultivation level, doesn’t that prove how extraordinary this Qin Yu is?

”He possesses such skill...”

The Queen of Elves couldn’t help but marvel.

She couldn’t quite understand how this Human Race member accomplished it.

The Elf Race had attempted numerous methods, consuming nearly all their internal resources, with no results.

The Queen of Elves couldn’t help but ask, ”What kind of Human Race member is this Qin Yu?”

”He...”

The Flower Fairy was about to speak but stopped.

Inexplicably, she recalled their first meeting, and her already radiant face flushed with red.

Quickly she composed herself and briefly mentioned Qin Yu’s circumstances.

However, she didn’t know much about Qin Yu, only enough to give a broad outline.

She emphasized the promise made between them.

As she spoke, the Flower Fairy couldn’t help but think of the conditions and price Qin Yu had proposed.

She gently bit her flower-like lips, a fleeting blush crossing her face.

If Qin Yu could indeed revive the Ancient Tree of Life, she would pay any price!

”It seems he has the ability, but his Realm is too low; even if he comes, it would probably be difficult for the Ancestral Gods to revive...”

The Queen of Elves sighed softly.

Ten years.

Moreover, ten years at most.

The Elf Race could naturally wait.

Yet, to speed up this process, they would need to provide some resources.

But who to send?

...

Lifebound Space.

”Sister, haven’t you gone to rest?”

Qin Yu arrived effortlessly at the waterfall, glanced at the beauty meditating nearby, and unabashedly jumped into the pool beneath the waterfall.

”Bah!”

The Beauty Clan Leader clenched her hand, her knuckles slightly white.

That guy was growing more and more brazen before her!

If she hadn’t closed her eyes, wouldn’t she clearly see his tail?

The sound of water approached.

The Beauty Clan Leader didn’t need to open her eyes to know he was swimming towards her, and a strong feeling of resistance rose within, her enchanting body unconsciously tensed.

”There’s a difference between men and women; show some respect!”

The Beauty Clan Leader snorted coldly, echoing Qin Yu’s words from that day.

If she hadn’t been worried about him barging in and witnessing the little fox unceremoniously, would she have hurriedly grabbed his hand?

”Wouldn’t sister have forgotten that this is my domain, and I can act as I please?”

Looking at the frowning yet exceptionally beautiful face, Qin Yu nonchalantly leapt up, activating his True Essence, his robes instantly dry.

”You...”

The Beauty Clan Leader angrily opened her eyes.

Yet again using the same excuse!

The key is, she was powerless to refute!

”Scoundrel!”

In the next moment, the Beauty Clan Leader’s eyes narrowed, she let out an angry rebuke, and immediately turned around.

This guy, possibly just finished doing something absurd, wasn’t wearing his usual tributor robes, instead casually draping an outfit.

Seemingly to show off, he actually stood there in a nonchalant manner!

What for?

Trying to flaunt your tail to me?

Utterly superficial, laughable, shameless!

Qin Yu chuckled, choosing not to argue.

After spending time together, he gradually figured out how to deal with this noble beauty.

Just as how the Empress can easily handle the Empress Dowager.

”You... stop right there!”

Sure enough, as soon as Qin Yu stepped forward towards the small courtyard, the anxious voice of this proud Beauty Clan Leader rang out.

With a fragrant breeze approaching, the exquisite beauty, who looked like a beautiful sculpture, was already blocking his path.

”You were the one who asked me to be respectful.”

Qin Yu spread out his hands, expressing helplessness.

”You...”

The Beauty Clan Leader’s silver teeth were about to shatter from gritting, her intention was just to prevent this despicable human from sneaking a peek at Tu Jiujiu, not to ask for a hug from you!

Isn’t it just shameless?

”You’re not allowed to pass!”

The Beauty Clan Leader knew she couldn’t match wits with Qin Yu, but she absolutely would not allow the future of the Qingqiu Fox Race to be squandered in the hands of a rogue.

”Then how does sister plan to compensate me?”

Qin Yu wasn’t in a hurry; with a smile, his gaze unabashedly assessed the charming beauty before him.

The Beauty Clan Leader possessed a breathtakingly beautiful face, her features exquisitely formed like a painting, and even in anger, a captivating allure shone through.

Her beautiful eyes, like a deep pool, could enchant anyone, long lashes fluttering lightly, enough to capture one’s soul.

A high nose, colorful lips, tempting anyone to taste the deliciousness of her cherry lips...

The flavor.

Qin Yu’s gaze slightly moved downward.

A long, fair neck, smooth, delicate skin glowed faintly like moonlight over snow, beautiful to the point of causing breathlessness.

Her graceful posture, curvaceous and elegant, exuded endless charm in every move.

Aside from her physique, what attracted Qin Yu the most was the noble and mysterious aura of the Beauty Clan Leader, a goddess-like demeanor that towered over all, making him want to pull her down to the mortal world.

”Presumptuous!”

Beauty Clan Leader bit her silver teeth, scolding lightly.

His gaze felt invasive, causing her to shiver involuntarily as if she was about to be devoured by this despicable human.

Yet, to the Empress Dowager and the Empress, he’s so humble and respectful!

My status is no lower than theirs, why treat them differently?

”Sister misunderstood, if you think I’m too presumptuous, I’ll go look for Jiujiu, she won’t misunderstand me.”

Qin Yu took a deep breath, trying hard to suppress his inner urge.

Damn!

Does she really not know her immense allure?

Such an angry look is simply irresistible!

”No, that’s not okay!”

Just as Beauty Clan Leader wanted to smack this guy away, she was once again overwhelmed by the sense that heaven and earth were preventing her, stomping her foot in anger.

Seeing the beauty in such a state, Qin Yu couldn’t help it, stepped forward boldly, extending his arm.

”If you dodge...”

As the Beauty Clan Leader instinctively wanted to retreat, Qin Yu’s voice, laden with threat, suddenly sounded, making her freeze.

In the next moment, a warm arm gently embraced her back, exerting slight force, drawing her entirely into his arms.

The strong scent of masculinity assailed her senses; the Beauty Clan Leader was entirely resistant, wishing to break free immediately, goosebumps already raised on her skin.

”I won’t go too far.”

In the midst of the Beauty Clan Leader’s panic, Qin Yu’s voice suddenly softened.

”Hmph, do you dare go too far?”

Beauty Clan Leader squeezed her teeth.

Saying you won’t go too far, yet she’s already been touched!

For the Qingqiu Fox Race, the tail can only be touched by the closest Dao Companion!

This guy, this behavior...

If she weren’t afraid of being expelled from this space and unable to protect the little fox, she’d want to slap this rogue into the air.

”Don’t move!”

Qin Yu lowered his voice.

Already hard to control, her slight struggle caused their bodies to rub against each other...

Making him want to devour the beauty in his arms completely.

The Beauty Clan Leader’s Dai Mei suddenly clenched.

He’s ordering me?

Just a mere human, why?

But soon the Beauty Clan Leader noticed this guy’s tail becoming increasingly daunting, her body froze, not daring to move.

Inadvertently, Qin Yu’s hands gradually tightened, moving the pair from a gentle embrace to an almost suffocating hold.

The subtle skin-to-skin touch felt like a trickling stream, perennially stirring his every nerve, making his heart surge.

Despite initially resisting any encounter with Qin Yu, under such circumstances, an unprecedented sense of pressure engulfed the Beauty Clan Leader, her breathing becoming labored.

However, amid the nearly suffocating closeness, an unusual ripple quietly emerged within her heart.

Imagine, a slight... inexplicable pleasure, stealthily spreading inside.

No wonder Tu Jiujiu, that little fox, is always so attached to him, wanting to cling to his side constantly.

No, this must be an illusion playing tricks!

She hurriedly warned herself internally, attempting to dispel this sudden strange sensation.

”Let go... let me go...”

Yet she didn’t know, the more she struggled, the less Qin Yu could resist, bowing his head to capture her small mouth in the next instant.
