Cultivation: Starting from a Mortal Bone

Chapter 582: Chapter 534: Why Didn’t You Continue?

After comforting his little fairy wives, Qin Yu only stepped out of the courtyard once he saw they were asleep.

His foot touched the ground.

An inexplicable feeling surged in his heart.

It seemed that, after his Lifebound Space had been enhanced, even the ground beneath his feet felt more solid.

Initially, he intended to go to his beautiful master’s place.

The three of them, Lin Qianqian and her sisters, along with Zhao Mengli, nearly all lived with Yin Qinghe.

Just as he was about to move, he saw Tu Yaoyao by the waterfall, watching him intently.

The Clan Leader of the Qingqiu Race had a hint of disbelief and shock lingering in her eyes.

Perhaps for Qin Yu and his charming wives, changes within the Lifebound Space were nothing new, but for Tu Yaoyao, it was different!

She is the Clan Leader of the Qingqiu Race!

Her level of insight is naturally on another level.

Precisely due to this, Tu Yaoyao was incredulous about the changes occurring within the Lifebound Space.

This was not any space fragment, nor was it something expanded by a mighty being.

The recent transformation within the Lifebound Space wasn’t expansion, it was... growth?!

Was the space actually growing?

Though even Tu Yaoyao found it unbelievable, she couldn’t shake the feeling.

This was because the Lifebound Space had not just expanded in scope but, more importantly, the Dao Rhymes... even some vague rules were becoming clearer.

Previously, Tu Yaoyao felt she could break through the Lifebound Space and escape.

But now...

Though she hadn’t tried, she had a feeling that Qin Yu could now use this realm’s rules to restrict her.

If she stepped into this space now, would she be suppressed by a junior cultivator in the Lotus Platform Realm?!

The thought was absurd.

Yet it could very well become reality.

Does this mean I can’t tease Qin Yu anymore?!

Wait.

Had she ever bullied this wicked guy? From the very beginning, she had been under his thumb, and now she had to endure his daily teasing with new knowledge.

”What are you looking at?”

Qin Yu’s voice only brought Tu Yaoyao back to her senses.

She only gave the man before her a faint glance without speaking, but her internal shock diminished greatly as a result.

Heh!

This guy indeed hasn’t changed.

Especially that devouring-fox expression in his eyes.

Qin Yu couldn’t hold back, the more detached and resistant Tu Yaoyao was, the more... delighted he felt.

”Not... here.”

Tu Yaoyao seemed somewhat dazed, murmuring with a weak and powerless jade hand pressed against Qin Yu’s chest.

In the next moment.

Qin Yu loosened his hold on her.

Tu Yaoyao: ”???”

Suddenly released, the Beauty Clan Leader felt no joy, but rather bafflement.

What the heck is going on?!

Why did he stop?!

Is this all there is for today?

The next moment, she quickly regained her composure, instinctively clutching her collar.

No!

She hadn’t wanted it to continue.

How could she possibly look forward to this detestable Human Race person teasing her?!

Her brain must be malfunctioning.

After all, she is the Clan Leader of the Qingqiu Race, and cannot forget the warnings of previous leaders or repeat past mistakes.

Yes.

She had been coerced, and everything that happened here was not of her volition.

It was for the little foxes.

For the future of the Qingqiu Race.

With this thought...

Her heart felt considerably better.

Unfortunately, when she saw Qin Yu enter Yin Qinghe’s courtyard, an inexplicable emotion welled up in Tu Yaoyao’s heart.

It seemed...

A bit disappointing?

After all, the Qingqiu Fox Race, being an ancient race, held quite traditional views about companions.

...

The next day, at Jade Flower Palace.

The robes of the Empress Dowager billowed without wind as her Dai Mei knitted tightly.

This is troubling!

Qin Yu’s body exudes a stronger aura of the Great Fox and, unsurprisingly, now carries a trace of the Flower Fairy’s essence as well.

Luckily, it’s not much.

Unlike Qin Yu’s Dao Companions.

Curious.

Could it be that nothing happened between them?

”Empress Dowager?”

Qin Yu wasn’t too unnerved by the scrutiny, but the fact was, the Empress Dowager always hovered around him, inevitably causing him to be jostled by the Great Phoenix.

But the Empress Dowager’s noble status was inviolable.

He couldn’t keep enduring it, could he?

”The Flower Fairy didn’t bully you?”

The Empress Dowager finally paused, seemingly incredulous.

In her eyes, Qin Yu shone like the sun, the only man worthy of such a title who could catch her eye.

And being near him brought a very comforting feeling.

The Empress Dowager knew well it wasn’t an illusion, otherwise, how could the Great Foxes of the Qingqiu tag along into the Lifebound Space with him? Ultimately, whether through coercion or absolute strength suppression, they must have thoroughly tormented him.

While the Flower Fairy might not share the seductive nature of the Great Foxes of the Qingqiu Fox Race, she was nonetheless powerful.

If she had truly intended to force Qin Yu, how would the poor fellow have the power to resist?

”The Empress Dowager jests, the Flower Fairy is a noble member of the Elf Race, how could she do anything to bully me?”

”The Fairy came to deliver resources for me this time.”

Qin Yu explained.

He could tell that the Empress Dowager seemed wary of every foreign woman.

No, she seemed particularly vigilant against those powerful, like Tu Yaoyao and the Flower Fairy...

Could it be that the Empress Dowager harbored a victim complex about him?

Surely not?

Qin Yu felt a mix of amusement and helplessness. Now that there was a tacit understanding between him and Tu Yaoyao, she indeed had been somewhat coerced, which was completely different from what the Empress Dowager had imagined.

”Is that so?”

The Empress Dowager was skeptical, casting a glance beyond the palace.

Hmph!

The cunning Empress Dowager wouldn’t be easily misled by Qin Yu’s casual words.

He was just too kind, that’s why he was always bullied!

The Empress Dowager clearly sensed that the Flower Fairy was still inside Baihua Building.

”Qin Yu, don’t be deceived by appearances. I’m telling you, some women seem innocent, but who knows what they think...”

The Empress Dowager advised earnestly, hoping to prevent Qin Yu from being taken advantage of and bullied again.

Qin Yu found it difficult to argue back.

Ever since returning with the Empress, he seemed to have been labeled as vulnerable in the eyes of the Empress Dowager.

”But still, you needn’t worry. As long as I’m here, as long as you’re unwilling, no one can force you!”

The Empress Dowager sighed, encouraging him, ”Why don’t you go talk to His Majesty and let me protect you?”

”Don’t worry, once I’m inside that space, the Great Fox wouldn’t dare intimidate you again!”

Qin Yu felt a chill listening to her. Honestly speaking.

Bringing the Empress Dowager into the Lifebound Space was indeed tempting.

But having her meet Tu Yaoyao?

That wouldn’t be suitable at all!
