Chapter 580 - 532: Farewell to the Flower Fairy

Chapter 580: Chapter 532: Farewell to the Flower Fairy

Chu Liuya looked coldly at the man in front of her, full of disbelief.

As the Commander of Chu Guard, over the years, let alone being openly provoked verbally, she had never even encountered disrespect through gazes.

"Chu Aunt can think about it, I’ll head back first."

Qin Yu only felt a chill descending upon him, causing him to shudder, and immediately dismissed the idea of provoking a few more remarks.

"This brat deserves to be executed!"

Chu Liuya’s tender body trembled slightly, her fists clenched tightly.

Watching the disappearing figure, she wished she could tear him apart with her gaze.

The Commander of Chu Guard, actually being verbally harassed by a lecherous rascal?!

Moreover, he said to consider it before leaving?

Is he threatening me?

Well then!

Has the Great Yan Immortal Country become so arrogant?

A Royal Court Tributor dares to speak so disrespectfully!

What exactly is that Empress of Great Yan thinking, does she even protect such people?!

Hmph!

Dare to desecrate the Princess of Great Chu Immortal Country today, can the Princess of Great Yan Immortal Country escape tomorrow?

Moreover, from her understanding, a reckless rascal like this might even dare to disrespect Emperor Yan in the future.

Doesn’t she fear she’s inviting disaster?

Chu Liuya was very angry.

If not for her inherent loyalty to the royal family, she would never tolerate such humiliation.

...

Chu Muyin noticed something was off about her aunt today.

Since she came back, the room’s temperature had dropped significantly, and her expression was like ice.

"Aunt, where have you been?"

Chu Muyin disconnected from the image call with Emperor Chu, asking worriedly.

She had never seen her aunt like this.

Even though Chu Liuya was always cold toward others, she always showed a gentle side in front of her.

Chu Liuya shook her head without explanation.

Upon returning to her room, she heard Chu Muyin’s conversation with her Imperial Brother; evidently, Emperor Chu placed great importance on Qin Yu, even advised his little niece to strengthen her relationship with Master Qin.

Ha, strengthen?

Imperial Brother must be muddled!

Any deeper and...

Sigh!

Chu Liuya felt very troubled.

What did they see in Qin Yu?

Isn’t it just that his attainments in the Array way are extraordinary?

So what?

They’re not like the Bai Family of Ancient Race that relies on Ancient Arrays to survive.

Understanding remnants of arrays, what good does it do, if he has the ability, let him understand the Star Prison Array!

That’s the one the Human Race needs most!

Chu Liuya looked at her little niece, who had changed into new attire, exuding pure and elegant charm, and felt a twinge of heartache.

The Imperial Brother had sworn that he wouldn’t let Chu Muyin become a tool of marriage alliance.

Yet now he lets her approach Qin Yu actively, isn’t this pushing her into the fire pit?

"Muyin."

Chu Liuya sighed softly inside, deciding to remind her little niece.

As an aunt, she really couldn’t just sit by and watch her get deeply involved.

Chu Muyin carried a gentle smile, like that pure and innocent girl from childhood.

"Do you...not blame your Imperial Brother?"

Chu Liuya asked softly, with a rare mix of complexity in her cold voice.

In reality, being in the royal family meant dealing with many things beyond one’s control.

The Great Ancient Races are the same.

Having enjoyed resources unimaginable to ordinary people, one must bear consequences and pressures those people do not face.

She...was actually fortunate.

Having an Innate Dao Spirit Body.

But other royal women with worse Root Bones weren’t so lucky.

"Why would I blame Father?"

Chu Muyin was somewhat puzzled.

"Wasn’t he asking you to..."

Chu Liuya really couldn’t bring herself to continue.

"Aunt is talking about Master Qin?"

A sudden surge of fervent devotion rose on Chu Muyin’s little face.

She never expected someone to have such high attainments in the Array way!

If not for the existence of Emperor Qin, she had no doubt that Qin Yu could become a Grandmaster of the Array way!

"Oh no!"

A skip in Chu Liuya’s heart, a strong unease arose within her.

The little niece was too naive, completely unaware of people’s malice.

From the recent contact with Qin Yu, she already saw through this guy’s facade.

That manner was completely unnecessary!

However, Chu Muyin’s Spiritual Power had already broken through to the subtle level, evidently gaining benefits.

Trying to get her to turn back?

Tough!

As for getting Qin Yu to find his conscience, that’s even more impossible!

Thinking about such a petite, innocent little niece, getting deeply involved with Qin Yu due to Emperor Chu’s urging, Chu Liuya felt heartache.

Must she really consider this?

How could that be possible?!

...

"Tributor Qin, Her Majesty invites you to the Imperial Study."

Qin Yu had just returned to Huayang Hall, but Yan Zhi was already waiting at the palace.

"Does Sister Yan Zhi know why Her Majesty is summoning me?"

Qin Yu felt a bit uneasy.

Could it be that his conversation with Aunt was overheard by the Empress?

Yan Zhi gave Qin Yu a meaningful look but did not answer.

Ha, this brother-in-law, not quite right!

Looking at the beautiful figure in front, Qin Yu could only brace himself and follow.

However, to be fair.

Yan Zhi in leather armor had a perfect curve in her back, her demeanor distinct from Aunt the Commander.

Actually, the reason he was so audacious with Aunt might be due to some admiration for Yan Zhi deep down.

After all, both are commanders of the core personal guards of the Immortal Country.

In this regard, their identities are equivalent.

No, no, no, it’s not like that.

Qin Yu reassured himself; he harbors no ill intentions toward the Flame Guard, nor toward this commander of the Flame Guard.

These are Yan Yu’s sisters.

He holds only respect, and... pure admiration for beautiful things.

With such trepidation, he quickly arrived in front of the Imperial Study.

"Hmm?"

Qin Yu keenly noticed a familiar fragrance permeating the air.

Under the moonlight, the flowers bloomed, and a subtle fragrance wafted through this space.

"Flower Fairy?"

Qin Yu was somewhat incredulous.

Didn’t she return to the Elf Race?

It’s still early for the ten-year agreement; why did she suddenly return? Could it be that the ancestral tree of the Elf Race can no longer hold on?

Indeed, as he entered the Imperial Study, the enticing fragrance became purer, and the flowers seemed to bloom slightly towards him, as if expressing goodwill.

"Your Majesty."

Qin Yu respectfully called out.

"Come in."

The Empress’s authoritative voice came from inside the room.

When Qin Yu pushed the door open and entered, a familiar figure caught his eye, sitting gracefully beside the Empress.

That woman, as though she had stepped out of an ancient painting, with her clouds of hair elegantly coiled, exuded an extraordinary aura that evokes reverence and longing.

Her eyebrows, like distant mountains, curved like willow leaves, carrying an indescribable charm. Her eyes, like clear springs in the mountains, were bright and clear, and when they rippled, they sparkled with enchanting beauty that made one drunk with admiration, yet afraid to stare directly, lest they disturb that tranquility. Her nose was straight and dainty, and her lips were as delicate as cherry blossoms, lush and tempting.

Her features were exquisitely beautiful, as if meticulously carved by nature itself, with no blemish. Just a glance was hard to look away from.

The Flower Fairy wore a flowing, graceful gauze dress, her slender waist accentuating her elegance, and her entire aura was ethereal and out of this world, truly like a celestial flower fairy descended upon the mortal realm.

Her beauty was not just physical; a light fragrance of flowers lingered around her, refreshing and intoxicating, making one instinctively want to get closer, to immerse in this unique beauty.

"Your Majesty."

"Flower Fairy."

Qin Yu saluted solemnly.

However, both the Empress and the Flower Fairy knew better than to be deceived by his facade.

"I am somewhat tired; you two talk."

The Empress gave Qin Yu a cold, indifferent glance.

If it were anyone else, like Great Chu Immortal Country’s Chu Muyin or Chu Liuya, she would never agree to meet with Qin Yu in the Imperial Palace.

But, her relationship with the Flower Fairy was deep, making it hard to refuse.

Soon, the Empress left directly.

Qin Yu couldn’t fathom what the Empress intended, leaving the two of them alone.

Isn’t she afraid something might actually happen?!

He spoke first, "How have you been, Fairy?"

The Flower Fairy nodded slightly.

Although not as hostile as the previous meetings, her attitude was still indifferent, akin to an aloof celestial fairy, exuding an aura that keeps people at a distance.

If not for Qin Yu making the dead branches of the ancestral tree show signs of revival, she probably wouldn’t even spare him a glance.

Yet, thinking of this person having seen her twice...

The first time, he claimed it was an accident, a wrong turn, but the second time, it was of his own volition.

Thinking of his words at that time, "Fairy, please be mindful," some strange feeling inevitably arose in the Flower Fairy’s heart.

Clearly he looked, yet in the end, it seemed as though she misunderstood him.

Thinking of this, the Flower Fairy slightly raised her small head.

Humph!

His gaze was so intense, yet he claimed she misunderstood him?

"Fairy, didn’t you return to your clan? Have you found a solution?"

Qin Yu did not offend; after a brief admiration, he withdrew his gaze.

He could tell, the Flower Fairy wasn’t approaching him due to any affection, but entirely for the ancestral tree, willing to sacrifice.

To be honest, faced with such a beautiful Flower Fairy, any man would inevitably feel moved.

In the Imperial Capital back then, countless young talents spared no expense just to try and see if they could meet the Flower Fairy.

If not for that unexpected incident, perhaps Qin Yu wouldn’t have had the chance to approach her either.

Thinking back to the petals he saw back then...

Qin Yu’s heart felt a bit warm.

Moreover, after awakening his Original Divine Body at Tu Yaoyao’s, he also wanted to test his hypothesis.

"The situation with the ancestral tree is more dire; the ten years originally mentioned were the absolute limit."

The Flower Fairy’s face showed some melancholy, and even the surrounding flowers’ colors dulled significantly.

Seeing such emotion on that peerlessly beautiful face made one want to give everything, just to alleviate her sorrow.

Qin Yu nodded, his expression slightly focused.

Since the Flower Fairy left, he had been diligently enhancing his Lifebound Space.

Usually, the cultivation sessions with his little fairy wife matched those of the Innate Sacred Body, perhaps even more!

Clearly, Su Xiyue was hardworking and resilient.

Of course, hard work always pays off.

During this time, his Lifebound Space was about to break through to the Fourth Layer!

"The Queen asked me to come here to assist you in cultivation."

The Flower Fairy didn’t hide anything, speaking truthfully.

This visit to the Great Yan Immortal Country was indeed under the Elf Queen’s instructions, to bring Qin Yu some cultivation resources.

"Assist me in cultivation?!"

Qin Yu only felt his heart tremble, his mouth slightly dry.

The queen mentioned by the Flower Fairy should be the legendary... Elf Queen?

Though they had never met, Qin Yu believed she must be a wise and brilliant sovereign!

Having the Flower Fairy assist in his cultivation?

Wouldn’t that mean... taking off?!

Just as Qin Yu was filled with excitement, the Flower Fairy turned her hand and took out a storage ring.

"???"

Qin Yu was puzzled, what did this mean?

"These are resources bestowed by the Queen, they should aid you."

The Flower Fairy extended her delicate hand, as graceful as a petal, and presented the ring in front of Qin Yu.

I don’t want it!

Qin Yu’s fists clenched hard.

What about helping me cultivate, why give me resources?

Did he misunderstand the Flower Fairy?

"Since the ancestral tree began to wither, most of the clan’s resources have been used to restore it, this... is the maximum our clan can offer."

Seeing Qin Yu not reaching out to take it, the Flower Fairy’s heart instantly tensed.

She had not forgotten; he was a Royal Court Tributor of the Great Yan, could it be that he found these resources too little?
