Chapter 487 - 459: The Beauty Clan Leader’s New Discovery

If not for the fear of Tu Jiujiu being given away for nothing, if not for considering this place a cultivation treasure site that aids in cultivation, the Clan Leader would never spare Qin Yu a glance, let alone remain here.

"Jiujiu, I’m here!"

In the distance, a petite figure quickly ran over.

The Beauty Clan Leader glanced indifferently, unconcerned.

This girl, who seems to call Qin Yu brother-in-law whenever she cries, hasn’t shown up for two days. Is it due to a Realm breakthrough?

Eh?

Suddenly, the Beauty Clan Leader’s pupils contracted.

"Her Root Bone..."

The Beauty Clan Leader’s gaze was fixed on the petite figure, even suspecting if she was seeing things.

She distinctly remembered that the girl named Lin Shuishui had an Upper Grade Spirit Bone before. But after two days of seclusion, her Root Bone had become Top Grade Spirit Bone.

This, how is this possible?!

"Eh, Shuishui, your Root Bone has been enhanced?"

Tu Jiujiu also noticed but didn’t seem surprised.

The two girls only exchanged a couple of words, their attention more focused on play.

Witnessing this scene, the Beauty Clan Leader was practically burning with anxiety.

This silly fox, does she know what this means?

Finally, driven by curiosity she couldn’t suppress, the Beauty Clan Leader took the initiative to approach.

"Does Clan Leader sister want to join us in play?"

Tu Jiujiu looked up, her beautiful eyes filled with delight.

These days, although the Beauty Clan Leader was with her in the Lifebound Space, because she disliked interacting with other races, even when Qin Yu went out, the Beauty Clan Leader seldom came close.

Actually, Tu Jiujiu really liked snuggling in the Beauty Clan Leader’s embrace and even wanted to share that soft and tender feeling with Lin Shuishui and Little Ling’Er.

"Your name is Lin Shuishui, right?"

The Beauty Clan Leader suppressed her inner aversion, trying to display a gentle smile to appear more amiable.

Lin Shuishui was taken aback. She had long heard from her brother-in-law that Tu Jiujiu’s sister was very aloof and disliked interactions and communication. She didn’t expect the other party to actively seek her out.

The Beauty Clan Leader noticed Lin Shuishui’s restraint, which was the normal reaction of a Human Race cultivator facing her, unlike that bastard who always tried... to desecrate her.

"Did your Root Bone... enhance?"

The Beauty Clan Leader asked straightforwardly, without beating around the bush.

This matter is of great importance!

Among the Ten Thousand Races’ experts, there is common knowledge that Root Bone is not something that can be enhanced.

Just like the Qingqiu Fox Race, the number of tails cannot be increased through later cultivation.

It’s precisely because of this that Tu Jiujiu, upon her birth, with the talent of being six-tailed, was directly designated as the next Clan Leader.

"Yes."

Lin Shuishui hesitated slightly for a moment and nodded.

Sister once instructed her not to reveal matters concerning Root Bone to outsiders, but Sister and Husband both mentioned that those who could enter the Lifebound Space are considered their own people.

Although Tu Jiujiu’s sister seemed difficult to approach, Husband allowing her to stay here surely meant she was considered one of them, right?

"Really enhanced?!"

The Beauty Clan Leader was entirely stunned, looking as if she had misheard.

Do you want to think about what you just said?

I’m asking you if your Root Bone has been enhanced, and she said yes?

What does that mean?

Your Root Bone can really be enhanced?

Moreover, it was expressed so lightly, and everyone around was so calm.

This matter had been considered by Qin Yu long ago.

Since he decided to let them in, matters concerning the Root Bone naturally couldn’t be hidden.

This was actually intentional on his part...

The purpose is self-explanatory.

Moreover, seeing it firsthand is far more convincing than hearing it, isn’t it?

Upon reflection, the Beauty Clan Leader’s expression grew solemn, and she cautiously asked, "Did you suffer from hidden injuries before? Causing a drop in Root Bone?"

"No, I haven’t."

Lin Shuishui’s eyes were clear, with a hint of confusion in her beautiful eyes.

Tu Jiujiu’s sister had been in the Lifebound Space for ten days now, right?

Back then, Yan Yu saw them not long after they discovered it.

"No?"

The Beauty Clan Leader looked puzzled.

This was the only possibility she could think of.

If not because of past injuries causing the Root Bone to drop, then what’s the matter with her Root Bone?

She wanted to continue asking.

But when it involves matters of Root Bone at this level, such questions might, if overheard by the Great Yan Empress, would be...

So she stopped.

But continued observing, and slowly, she became increasingly unsettled.

Because such changes seem to occur not only in Lin Shuishui.

What is happening here?!

Only Tu Jiujiu felt content, lying in the Beauty Clan Leader’s embrace, lifting her head slightly, but from her angle could only see massive hills, not the Beauty Clan Leader’s face.

Indeed, being in the Clan Leader’s arms was comfortable.

The little fox squinted her eyes in contentment.

...

Qin Yu was oblivious to what happened in the Lifebound Space.

In the morning, helping the Empress with massage and accompanying the Empress Dowager, naturally, he had to take time in the afternoon to accompany his beloved wife Bai Yaoyin.

However, these past few days the consumption of True Essence has been excessive, and Qin Yu doesn’t have much energy to instruct Bai Yaosha in the ways of the Array.

Of course, the main reason is still...

That kind of contact, which anyone would deem exceedingly intimate, yet Bai Yaosha is completely oblivious, her attention wholly devoted to the Array.

She originally possessed a beauty that could topple a kingdom, and combined with her proud stature, any man would find it hard to resist.

And every time Qin Yu sees Bai Yaosha with such serious focus, he struggles to contain himself.

To avoid desecrating his sister-in-law, he can only suppress the restlessness in his heart, avoiding trips to the top floor of the Carefree Pavilion.

As evening falls.

Qin Yu, as usual, returns to the Lifebound Space with Little Ling’Er.

Just as he returns, he feels a gaze subtly watching him.

Every time Qin Yu looks back, he sees the Beauty Clan Leader standing warily at a distance, except for occasionally seeing Tu Jiujiu’s enthusiastic appearance and scolding a few words, nothing seems different from before.

"Hmph!"

In response to Qin Yu’s gaze, the Beauty Clan Leader only snorts coldly, showing disdain.

This guy, what is he plotting, did he really think she doesn’t know?

Trying to deceive the little fox, she absolutely won’t allow it!

"Brother Qin Yu, Jiujiu misses you so much..."

Tu Jiujiu tightly embraces Qin Yu’s arm, greedily indulging in the sense of presence with him.

If it weren’t for the Beauty Clan Leader’s reprimand, she would have long climbed onto Brother Qin Yu, nestling closely together.

"Why don’t you accompany me tomorrow?"

Feeling the pressure from her arm, Qin Yu’s heart is swayed; this little girl doesn’t need any pretense, her every move can easily ignite the flame in his heart.

If it weren’t for Tu Jiujiu’s elder sister being nearby, he really wants to lavishly indulge her, no, tenderly pamper her.

"Jiujiu, it’s time to go back and rest!"

The Beauty Clan Leader sees Qin Yu’s tail raised, feeling uneasy, and promptly reminds.

"No, I want to be with Brother Qin Yu."

Tu Jiujiu flatly refuses, still cozy beside Qin Yu.

However, under the Beauty Clan Leader’s threat of taking her back to the clan, the little fox ultimately chooses to compromise, reluctantly returning to her small house.

In the mountain courtyard, the familiar sound rings again.

The Beauty Clan Leader apparently anticipated this situation long ago, isolating the backyard with an Array.

And herself, lying relaxed on the grass by the waterfall, face indifferent, letting those sounds come as if she’s strengthening her will.

Successfully remaining unaffected.

Compared to the beginning, the Beauty Clan Leader somewhat doubts her judgment.

If it’s just one day, two days like this, the Beauty Clan Leader would only view Qin Yu as trying to show off.

Deliberately taking some potent drug.

However, night after night of revelry, with every session starting at several hours, having so many Dao Companions, none being left out from his affection.

And every victory belonging to him.

The Beauty Clan Leader increasingly feels that Qin Yu isn’t from the Human Race!

After all, Human Race in these matters, how could it be so exaggerated?

Holding a skeptical heart, the Beauty Clan Leader convinces herself to take another look...

This time in the small courtyard of the Flame Guard, the Beauty Clan Leader secretly observes.

"This... this?!"

In the next moment, the Beauty Clan Leader opens her eyes wide in anger, a face filled with shock.

Is Qin Yu foolish?

Not even knowing he went the wrong way?!

And, that’s the Flame Guard, does she understand nothing as well?

Allowing Qin Yu to go the wrong way?

Good heavens!

The Beauty Clan Leader feels her world crashing! Even just glimpsing, she feels her eyes violated!

Her mind no longer pure.

With strong inner criticism and condemnation, unknowingly, her fair skin turns rosy, she immediately collects her mind, daring not to peek anymore.

Such scenes are truly terrifying!

As an untainted fox, never did she imagine there could be such methods!

Just...

Wasting her own talent, not focusing on cultivation, spending every day on such trivial matters!

The Beauty Clan Leader internally scolds, unable to figure out, since Celestial Tribulation couldn’t stand him and found him, why didn’t it strike him dead?

A person obsessed with such a path, why could he withstand Celestial Tribulation?

For a long time.

As the sound from the small courtyard of the Flame Guard settles down, the Beauty Clan Leader takes deep breaths, wanting to calm down, but as a disliked figure lands by the waterfall, her just slightly peaceful mind immediately ripples again.

"Sorry to keep you waiting."

Qin Yu strides with a smile towards the figure ahead.

"Pah, who waited for you?"

The Beauty Clan Leader shows utter disdain, this tail-bearing guy is totally shameless.

I’m only guarding against you barging in to bully the little fox!

Plus, just now this guy leisurely walked back and forth.

Was he showing off to me?!

Despicable.

She doesn’t know what’s worth showing off in this.

Heh.

Childish.

Does he plan to affect my mind with this?!

"Stop, stay right there, don’t come any closer!"

Seeing Qin Yu getting closer, the Beauty Clan Leader suddenly recalls the scene earlier, emotions of strong resistance surface, immediately she halts him.
