Chapter 595 - 547: Your Majesty, Safeguard the Dragon Body

Chapter 595: Chapter 547: Your Majesty, Safeguard the Dragon Body

"Whoosh!"

The flying ship sliced through the sky like a resplendent rainbow, cruising across the boundless heavens.

Bai Yaosha wore a simple blue dress, her hair gently flowing, lightly brushing her jade-like skin. Her slender waist seemed to hint at a delicate beauty that could be felt with just a slight touch.

Her graceful silhouette gathered all the gentleness and sorrow of the world, evoking an involuntary sense of compassion.

The hem of her skirt swayed slightly; from time to time, her white jade-like calves emerged from the mist, adding an aura of enigmatic beauty. Outside the flying ship, clouds enveloped her, dreamlike and surreal, enhancing Bai Yaosha’s figure with an extraordinary transcendence, as if she were a fairy mistakenly stepping into this earthly painting.

From afar, her silhouette merged with the vast heavens, forming a stunning and heart-moving scene. Amidst such boundless expanse, she bloomed with her own brilliance.

"What’s on your mind?"

Looking at that graceful silhouette, Qin Yu stepped forward.

Upon hearing the voice from behind, Bai Yaosha returned from her thoughts and softly responded.

"Are you afraid of returning to the Bai Race’s territory?"

Qin Yu saw the worry on her features.

"A bit."

Bai Yaosha nodded slightly, her eyes gazing at the distant, ethereal clouds, carrying a barely concealed complexity in her clear, beautiful eyes.

It’s been almost five years since leaving the Bai Family.

Though protected by her father, she hadn’t suffered much in these years, yet persistent secrecy had instilled in her an inexplicable fear of returning.

"Don’t overthink; this time, Bai Race’s clan elders invited us back."

Gazing at her slender figure, Qin Yu couldn’t help but lean forward, enveloping her like when guiding her in the study of array patterns.

Bai Yaosha’s delicate body trembled, her face warming up.

On the top floor of Carefree Pavilion, she could pretend it was just a necessary posture for studying array patterns.

But now, she couldn’t deceive herself.

He’s her sister’s husband...

How could he hold her like this?

Bai Yaosha felt her heartbeat race, attempting to break free and escape.

"No matter what happens, as long as I’m here, no one can force you."

Qin Yu held the woman in his arms tightly, showing no sign of loosening.

Upon hearing this firm voice, Bai Yaosha’s heart trembled slightly.

Once in youth, she had imagined someone protecting her like this.

Yet...

The Bai Family of the ancient race has deep roots; even the royal families of every Great Immortal Country tread carefully around it. Who would dare offend Bai Family for an individual like her?

And yet, at this moment, Bai Yaosha felt an unparalleled sense of security.

But...

Qin Yu was, after all, her sister’s husband.

"Rest here for now, I’m heading inside to cultivate."

Qin Yu seemed to sense something, reluctantly releasing his embrace.

Bai Yaosha nodded gently, her tense body relaxing as she once more looked towards the distant clouds, worry in her beautiful eyes now largely dissipated.

...

"Your Majesty."

Returning inside the flying ship, Qin Yu saw an imposing figure and immediately bowed in greeting.

"Hmm."

The Empress’s eyes remained indifferent, revealing no emotional fluctuation.

She wanted to ask why he didn’t hold her longer, but the Emperor’s dignity forbade such questions, leaving only a cold sound from her nostrils.

In the room, silence reigned.

Facing the matchless authority of the Empress, Qin Yu hesitated to speak several times.

With the flying ship’s current speed, it won’t take half a month to leave the Great Yan’s borders; by then, the Empress likely won’t continue to escort them.

The Empress’s expression remained unchanged, yet her eyes gleamed with light.

Even a single glance could discern Qin Yu’s subtle intentions.

This audacious fellow again wants to betray her?

However...

Upon reflection, recent minor issues have indeed stirred emotional fluctuations.

It must be the Seven Emotions Tribulation, not yet fully overcome, perhaps?

Thinking of this, even the aura around the Empress felt somewhat disordered.

"Your Majesty, is your health..."

Qin Yu’s pupils contracted, though not looking directly, his eyes carried an unmistakable fervor.

The Empress remained silent.

Ha!

Quite perceptive indeed.

"I can suppress it."

The Empress’s voice still held indifference, yet a hint of stubbornness lingered within.

"Your Majesty, your dragon body is of utmost importance!"

Qin Yu spoke gravely, his expression serious.

"Hmm?"

The Empress’s brows furrowed slightly, eyes flashing anger.

Such vulgar language!

Moreover, daring to suggest her inadequacy...?

Such audacity!

"With the Great Yan’s current turmoil, Your Majesty must remain in command. Tribulations cannot be taken lightly."

Qin Yu spoke earnestly, every word expressing concern for her.

Upon hearing this, the Empress’s expression slightly stiffened.

Within the Great Yan Immortal Country, not only does the Black Soul Hall silently plot but the ancient ruins within the ten thousand mountains also harbor strangeness.

Just as Qin Yu stated, she must stay in optimal condition and cannot afford to be complacent.

Perhaps facing one more tribulation wouldn’t be unwise.

"Your Majesty, should we consider undergoing the tribulation first?"

Seeing no disagreement from the Empress, Qin Yu tentatively suggested.

The Empress glanced outside.

Bai Yaosha remains outside the flying ship!

Should she undergo the tribulation here?

The array can isolate Bai Yaosha’s perception, but what about the Empress Dowager?

It was hard enough to get that fool Xiangrui to calm down, and if she senses something else, the Empress Dowager might chase us directly from this distance?

"Buzz..."

The Empress pondered for a moment, and with a movement of her hand, a mysterious spatial fluctuation appeared.

"Is this that flying ship?"

Qin Yu’s eyes narrowed, a hint of astonishment rising in her eyes.

How is it that Her Majesty carries it with her?!

Could it be...

The Empress already saw through my intention to ask her for protection?

Qin Yu watched as the Empress stepped into the spatial portal, her heart burning with excitement.

After setting up a barrier, the spatial entrance still remained. Qin Yu took a deep breath, suppressing the excitement in her heart, and followed closely.

The familiar room was the same as before, even the placement of the Golden Thunder Dao Lotus was identical.

On the Golden Thunder Dao Lotus sat a dignified figure in meditation. Lines appeared on the lotus leaf, and the power of the golden thunder Dao Rhyme filled the entire Dao Lotus.

Under the intertwining golden thunder light, the Empress’s dragon robe was vividly reflected as if the fat dragon might burst out of the clothes at any moment and soar into the nine heavens. Her long hair, cascading like a waterfall, gently rested on her slender shoulders, swaying slightly with the Dao Rhyme flowing around her, adding an ethereal and sacred aura to the scene.

Mist rose around her, and the Empress’s graceful yet imposing figure seemed to have walked out of a dreamy mist, carrying a transcendence not of this world.

Her cheeks were fair as snow, a subtle tenderness hidden within her majesty. Her long eyebrows elegantly outlined a lively and graceful charm. Her nose was high and beautiful, like a meticulously sculpted jade peak, and her lips, though untouched with rouge, possessed an inexplicable allure.

At this moment, the Empress’s hands moved in seals, elegant and solemn, as if merging with the Golden Thunder Dao Lotus, becoming a part of the heavens and earth, radiating an inviolable majesty.

She entered the state so quickly?!

Qin Yu was startled, having only been late by a few breaths.

It seems...

The Empress also realized the severity of her internal issues.

Qin Yu wasn’t in a hurry. He just stood quietly by the door, waiting.

Though the Empress didn’t open her eyes, she could clearly feel a fervent gaze falling on her body now and then through the cracks in the lotus leaves.

This guy, after entering the flying ship’s space, isn’t even pretending anymore?

If not for considering the warm current’s effect, the Empress would have slapped him away.

How shameless!

But...

Aren’t you about to undergo the Seven Emotions Tribulation?

No need to worry about not having a chance to deal with him?

When the ’Anger’ tribulation comes...

The Empress’s lips unconsciously curled into a slight smile.

At the same time, a creepy sense of crisis surged in Qin Yu’s heart. He glanced sideways but saw the Empress still sitting there, without any abnormalities.

"Was it an illusion?"

Qin Yu frowned, feeling a bit anxious.

Your Majesty!

Time is limited, please undergo the tribulation quickly.

Perhaps because her internal state was too dire, or maybe he sensed his thoughts.

A moment later, the aura around the Empress was in chaos, her body seemingly losing support and leaning onto the Dao Lotus.

"Your Majesty, are you alright?"

Qin Yu’s eyes narrowed, yearning to rush to check on the Empress’s condition, but out of fear, he didn’t dare to approach rashly.

What if the Empress is pretending to be unconscious as a test?

Qin Yu hadn’t forgotten the scene where he was slapped away. Just thinking about it still left him with lingering fears.

The Dao Lotus remained quiet, with only the faint golden thunder Dao Rhyme power lingering.

"Qin Yu, why are you so far from me?"

After an unknown amount of time, a dreamy voice sounded.

Qin Yu suddenly looked up, meeting her joyful eyes, as curved as crescent moons, sending a tremor through his heart.

"Your Majesty?"

Qin Yu called tentatively.

"Why do you call me that again?"

The Empress pouted, extending her arms like an innocent young girl.

If it weren’t for the intrinsic majesty between her eyebrows, no one would recognize this as the awe-inspiring Great Yan Empress.

"Come up and accompany me,"

Seeing Qin Yu still in a daze, the Empress made to get up and pull him.

Qin Yu’s heart stirred at the familiar tone.

The one akin to a fairy, with a beauty as dreamy as Ji Luoxi, had returned!

"Your Majesty, you are undergoing the tribulation, don’t come down."

Qin Yu quickly stepped forward, stopping the Empress’s movement.

Of course, before stepping onto the Dao Lotus, he naturally changed into a new set of clothes.

As he stepped onto the Dao Lotus, almost directly facing him, he didn’t notice the flash of annoyance deep in the Empress’s eyes.

Oh!

One moment meek and submissive, the next planning to confront me face to face?

Ha!

Truly a loyal tributor of the Great Yan Royal Family!

And my future good brother-in-law!

"Qin Yu, hug me."

The Empress’s face showed no sign of concern, but was rather filled with joy.

"Don’t rush, I’ll hug you later,"

Qin Yu chuckled softly, gently stroking the Empress’s smooth hair.

Qin Yu was considerate of the Empress, providing her with all resources to help her safely undergo the tribulation.

"!!!"

I don’t want this!

The Empress wished she had a sharper tongue to make this guy never dare help her in such a way again!

But to avoid revealing a flaw, the Empress could only quiet her mind, immersing herself in the moment.

This... is only my Seven Emotions Tribulation.

It’s not my own consciousness!

Yes, it’s purely for undergoing the tribulation, purely to enhance my Root Bone and pursue the Venerable Realm that every past Emperor has yearned for!
