Chapter 479 - 450: What Now?

Bai Yaosha returned angrily to the Array Stone, biting her lips tightly, trying to calm herself down.

However, the voice inside the room, belonging to Bai Yaoyin, seemed intentionally...

Sultry!

"She..."

Bai Yaosha turned around, her back to the room, desperately wanting to leave immediately.

However, it was daytime, and without her sister’s cover, she might be recognized. If the Clan Elders’ confidants caught her, it could bring trouble to her father.

The expression on Bai Yaosha’s face changed for a moment.

Even though she tried her best to suppress it, certain unspeakable images still occasionally flashed in her mind.

"Will you dare to have such bad thoughts again in the future?"

"What did I do? Husband, you... take it easy, sob..."

Bai Yaoyin truly realized her mistake. Usually, Qin Yu treated her gently, but today, he was like...

He entered a berserk state.

Bai Yaoyin felt like she was going to shatter completely.

What she didn’t know was that this small room specially prepared for her sister almost entirely carried Bai Yaosha’s fragrance.

Even if Qin Yu had no other ill thoughts about his sister-in-law,

being filled with Bai Yaosha’s scent while cultivating here, he naturally felt like a war god possessed.

This battle lasted just over half an hour before Bai Yaoyin completely collapsed, unable to move even a finger.

Seeing his petite wife in such a disheveled state, Qin Yu still felt some remorse.

However, certain signs had to be nipped in the bud; otherwise, they would become uncontrollable.

Yet, Qin Yu did not know that fighting violence with violence was, in fact, a misconception.

Just like Lin Shuishui and Zhao Mengli, the more they were reprimanded, the more determined they became in recruiting others to their cause.

Bai Yaoyin might have really exhausted herself, as she quickly snuggled up to him and fell into a deep sleep.

Qin Yu lightly stroked his little wife’s hair and only got up after a long while.

There was still a sister-in-law outside, and he couldn’t always stay in the room.

Hearing the sound of the door opening, Bai Yaosha’s body immediately tensed. Whatever she had been thinking, her scattered expression quickly focused.

Her hurried demeanor resembled a truant student caught by a strict teacher.

"How’s the comprehension going?"

Qin Yu noticed something but did not point it out, approaching and asking.

"I... I’m too dull."

Upon hearing Qin Yu’s inquiry about Array Patterns, Bai Yaosha’s whole demeanor subtly changed.

In such a state, she indeed appeared like an array enthusiast.

Qin Yu remained silent, merely watching the Array Patterns through Bai Yaosha’s spiritual power, gradually revealing the lines.

However, under the Celestial Eye, Qin Yu quickly discovered several obvious mistakes made by Bai Yaosha.

A moment later, Bai Yaosha stopped, unsurprisingly failing again this time after a short while.

"It’s already quite good."

Qin Yu first affirmed her efforts, then said, "However, from the beginning, you went down the wrong path."

Upon hearing this, a hint of curiosity gleamed in Bai Yaosha’s beautiful eyes.

Whether in arrays, elixirs, or talismans, there were many people with extraordinary talent, but competent teachers were hard to find!

Even with extraordinary luck to be taken under a renowned master’s wing, they might not share their teachings wholeheartedly.

"Went down the wrong path?"

Bai Yaosha murmured, her mind recalling Qin Yu’s guidance. Every strand of spiritual power flowed along the Array Patterns as instructed.

Qin Yu did not interrupt, watching her delicate figure with pure admiration.

Bai Yaosha slightly furrowed her delicate brows, her eyes fixed on the Array Stone in front of her. The occasional breeze brushed against her falling hair, yet she was entirely unaware.

Occasionally biting her lip, her white teeth left faint marks on her red lips. At times, she seemed to enter a state of enlightenment, her gaze becoming distant.

The pensiveness of Bai Yaosha revealed a unique charm, making her extraordinarily captivating.

Unknowingly, Qin Yu’s previously calm eyes underwent some changes.

After all, he was not some unperturbed saint.

His sister-in-law’s appearance, figure, and temperament were not inferior to his petite wife Bai Yaoyin, perhaps even slightly superior.

Bai Yaosha was completely unaware of Qin Yu’s anomaly, fully immersed in this mystical state.

However, she couldn’t help but feel as though something was missing, preventing her from comprehending the profoundness of the Array Patterns.

Qin Yu could see that Bai Yaosha’s current state was akin to an epiphany, an enormous opportunity for her.

However, evidently, his sister-in-law was in a predicament!

If this moment was missed, who knew when she would next reach this state.

Qin Yu slightly furrowed his brow.

He could see what his sister-in-law lacked, but stepping in might not be appropriate.

"Buzz..."

Suddenly, Bai Yaosha’s spiritual power showed a hint of disorder, accompanied by an expression of pain on her face.

"Sigh."

Seeing this, Qin Yu disregarded societal taboos, moved forward, and stood behind the graceful figure, gently approaching with respect.

Bai Yaosha just felt someone approaching from behind, and then her whole being was enveloped in a strong sense of security, filling her heart with unprecedented peace.

The previously disordered spiritual power stabilized almost instantly.

Her whole being felt exceptionally clear.

Meanwhile, Qin Yu couldn’t help but take a sharp breath.

The sheer fabric could be almost ignored, and such sensations nearly struck his soul directly.

Though this wasn’t their first intimate contact.

But.

The first time, was when Bai Yaoyin accidentally ran into it.

The second time, it was purely a misunderstanding on her part.

This time, Qin Yu took the initiative to approach to help Bai Yaosha maintain her state of enlightenment.

"Eh?"

Qin Yu frowned slightly, Bai Yaosha’s state seemed a bit off.

How could she have such a reaction, being inexperienced?

Has she already...

Could it be that she heard all the sounds from the room earlier?

Even if the Array wasn’t activated, Bai Yaosha didn’t shield her hearing?

On the top floor, the Array emitted a faint glow, with two figures closely pressed together in an ambiguous posture.

Qin Yu’s respect struck deep into the soul, while Bai Yaosha was completely immersed in her enlightenment, her Spiritual Power undergoing a subtle transformation.

However, as for the completion of the broken Array, Bai Yaosha was clearly still unable to find a clue.

Originally, Qin Yu was somewhat immersed in this state as well.

But when he sensed Bai Yaosha’s Spiritual Power waning, he didn’t hesitate, gently supporting her slender waist to prevent her Spiritual Power from faltering and her body from falling to the ground.

Simultaneously, a strand of Spiritual Power quietly surged forth.

"Buzz..."

With Qin Yu’s action, the patterns on the Array Stone gradually became apparent, and Bai Yaosha experienced an epiphany, her Spiritual Power quickly sketched.

In just the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, a complete Array Pattern rapidly manifested.

"Mm!..."

With the final stroke completed, Bai Yaosha let out a soul-satisfying hum from her cherry lips, seemingly extremely...

Satisfied?

At the same time, her Spiritual Power was completely exhausted, and her body softened, unintentionally sitting down.

Qin Yu had anticipated this, gently supporting her by her waist.

However, as Bai Yaosha’s body nearly sat down completely...

That feeling almost made Qin Yu lose his restraint.

Break through the window?

"Whew..."

Qin Yu took a deep breath, quietly retreating a few steps.

He was clear about his position, never letting himself float, always staying grounded.

For instance, with Little Ling’Er and the Empress Dowager, he never actively did anything.

The same applies to the lady before him; he wasn’t sure how the Bai Family viewed him, so he needed to be cautious.

Although wearing clothes.

Although certainly not ordinary, they clearly couldn’t obstruct him.

In their several encounters, it was just that thin layer... the window paper had yet to be pierced.

Of course.

He couldn’t take the initiative, but he could passively accept.

Just like with the Empress Dowager; surely that can’t be blamed on him?

Meanwhile, Bai Yaosha, whose Spiritual Power was depleted, let out a dreamy sigh of disappointment, as if she had lost something important.

Qin Yu gently helped Bai Yaosha to sit on the ground, took out an Elixir to restore Spiritual Power, and placed it in her cherry lips.

Perhaps being unclear of consciousness, feeling the Elixir’s fragrance, Bai Yaosha’s lips involuntarily moved forward, actively swallowing.

Qin Yu felt warmth on his fingers, the comfortable sensation even sparked an absurd thought in him...

If it wasn’t his finger?

He dared not imagine, dared not imagine.

Moments later, Bai Yaosha’s Spiritual Power gradually stabilized, and as her eyes opened, those beautiful eyes seemed to have stars twinkling within.

At this moment, her Spiritual Power had already stepped into the refining high tier!

"Qin Yu, my Spiritual Power has broken through!"

Bai Yaosha was somewhat excited, her flawless face filled with enthusiasm.

Those beautiful eyes were incredibly pure, containing only joy without any other complex emotions.

"Congratulations."

Qin Yu inwardly breathed a sigh of relief.

It seemed Bai Yaosha hadn’t realized what had happened just now.

"Thanks to your assistance."

Bai Yaosha expressed genuine gratitude.

In that previous state, her mind was wholly focused on sketching the Array Pattern in front of her, leaving only a vague perception of things happening.

She seemed to... not reject it?

However, Bai Yaosha was aware, given her talent and aptitude, breaking through to the refining high tier Spiritual Power wasn’t easy and would typically require several years of accumulation.

The breakthrough was due to Qin Yu’s timely assistance.

"Actually, I didn’t do much."

Qin Yu didn’t take credit.

Yet his modesty made Bai Yaosha’s affection for him grow, looking at him with admiration and gratitude.

Qin Yu silently avoided those pure eyes, glancing toward the room.

The recent close contact had left him intense.

However, his little beloved in the room was still asleep, clearly unable to engage again.

What could be done?
