Chapter 612 Spore

Chapter 611: Chapter 563: Spore

Seeing Yan Zhi’s indifferent attitude, Qin Yu also knew that he couldn’t get any answers from her.

However, even without asking, he could guess a few things.

What made him sad was that it was fine to guard against petty people, but His Majesty even guarded against him.

It really was disheartening!

No matter what, he had accomplishments and hard work.

The long road stretches ahead.

Qin Yu wanted to approach Yan Zhi several times to communicate, but each time he was about to step forward, Yan Zhi would immediately avoid him, her eyes full of apology.

Fine!

Surely it’s the Empress’s orders, without a doubt.

In the end, Qin Yu had to call Yan Yu out, only then did Yan Zhi come down.

Until they were almost nearing the Imperial Capital, Yan Zhi immediately got up and left, and the two never had alone time together.

"Finally back."

Looking at the horizon of the Imperial Capital, Qin Yu breathed a sigh of relief.

This trip to the Bai Family was fruitful.

Bai Lan and the Bai Race’s clan elders stuffed him with a bunch of elixirs, and if his spiritual power was exhausted or injured, he could fully rely on this batch of elixirs to recover quickly.

Of course, what Qin Yu cared more about was that during this trip, he resolved his little wife Bai Yaoyin’s inner conflict and completely broke through the barrier with Bai Yaosha.

As long as Bai Yaosha and her sister are willing, they can stay in the Lifebound Space without having to run around.

Speaking of which...

It seems there are two more people waiting for him in the Carefree Pavilion.

Thinking of that figure as a Female War God, Qin Yu couldn’t help but sigh lightly.

Clearly, Chu Liuya is not as easy to fool as Tu Yaoyao; the tactics used on Tu Yaoyao wouldn’t work on her.

She is not as naive as Tu Yaoyao.

As a Chu Guard, her experience was far richer, and she was far more aware of Qin Yu’s little scheming.

The Imperial Capital was close at hand.

Qin Yu suddenly felt a gaze sweeping over the flying ship.

Is His Majesty really that uneasy about him?

Or is it because Yan Zhi is too important and afraid she might be abducted by him?

Is he, Qin Yu, such an unreliable person?

How outrageous!

...

Black Soul Hall.

"Venerable Lord, it’s confirmed that the Great Yan Tributor, Qin Yu, has returned to the Great Yan Imperial Capital..."

As a sound transmission echoed, the black-robed person at the head clenched their palm, and the Sound Transmission Stone shattered into powder.

Inside the grand hall, dozens of figures were as silent as cicadas in autumn, not daring to even breathe heavily.

"Venerable Five."

The Venerable Lord at the head slowly spoke: "How is your progress going?"

"Reporting to Venerable Lord, everything is proceeding as planned; currently, there are fifty-three Foundation Establishment Realm, and over two hundred Lotus Platform Realm blood species."

Below, Venerable Five immediately stepped forward and responded respectfully.

"There really are many fools."

The Venerable Lord sneered, a trace of fierceness flashing in his eyes.

"However..."

Venerable Five hesitated a little but still said, "Currently, near the Ten Thousand Mountains, four Flame Guards have already gathered, I’m afraid Emperor Yan is already aware."

"No problem."

The Venerable Lord nodded slightly, indicating: "It’s time to start, there’s no need to delay any longer."

"This time, the Great Yan Immortal Country must pay the price!"

"Yes!"

Venerable Five’s figure dissipated into a wisp of black smoke.

Inside the grand hall, silence reigned.

"Venerable Seven, Venerable Eight, your corporeal forms will reach and join Venerable Five within three days, this matter must not fail."

The Venerable Lord glanced over, instructing again for absolute safety.

With a series of commands being issued, the black-robed figures in the grand hall quickly accepted the orders, and in just a moment, only the figure at the head remained.

"Emperor Yan, just you wait!"

...

Imperial Capital Street.

To compensate for Empress Dowager’s boredom during this period, after sending Bai Yaosha back to the Carefree Pavilion, Qin Yu accompanied the Empress Dowager for a tour.

The Empress Dowager occasionally looked at Qin Yu, hesitant to speak.

He’s a man!

Always asking him about being bullied by His Majesty, wouldn’t it hurt his pride?

Alas.

Thankfully, thanks to my intervention, the Empress couldn’t escape to receive Qin Yu.

Otherwise, on the way back, who knows, they might have spent another half a month.

It’s really unimaginable what hardships the low-cultivation Qin Yu would suffer facing the Tyrant.

Soon, accompanied by Little Ling’Er and several other young girls, the Empress Dowager’s mood gradually recovered, and laughter resounded.

If not for the moonlight covering her face, she would surely have captivated countless cultivators like a Fairy from the Cold Palace.

Throughout the tour, the Empress Dowager was very generous; whenever she saw delicious Spirit Fruit or snacks, she bought them directly, even packaging up dresses Lin Shuishui and the others fancied without hesitation.

Fortunately, there was Storage Space, otherwise Qin Yu’s hands and feet wouldn’t be enough to carry everything.

Unconsciously, I have already arrived at the Flower Language Building.

"Empress Dowager, shall we go inside and rest for a while?"

Qin Yu looked at Little Ling’Er, who was already a bit tired and leaning against him, and suggested.

"Okay."

The Empress Dowager also felt somewhat sorry for Little Ling’Er and agreed immediately.

To say, Little Ling’Er’s condition is much better than before.

Before meeting Qin Yu, even if she went out shopping, within half an hour, Little Ling’Er would be out of breath, and even her Dao Body would become unbalanced.

Now, after half a day has passed, she is merely a little tired, stronger than most ordinary people, and her Innate Ice and Fire Dao Body shows no signs of disorder at all.

They took seats in an elegant room.

The Empress Dowager and several young girls, including Little Ling’Er, sat on the terrace, appreciating the dancing girls below.

Su Xihe, Yin Qinghe, and the others were inside, enjoying tea and playing chess, in a scene of peace.

Qin Yu very much enjoys this lifestyle.

Perhaps, this is the advantage of finding the right support.

Unlike in the Loose Cultivator City back then, where he had to take risks for the Spirit Stones he relied on to survive.

It’s precisely because of having gone through such hardships that Qin Yu is all the more gratified with his present life.

Living day by day with his Dao Companions, free from worldly conflicts, plain and simple, this is enough.

"Young Master Qin."

A young Elf Maid made a respectful gesture at the door of the elegant room and called softly.

Qin Yu glanced at the Empress Dowager and the others before walking over slowly.

"Young Master, the Fairy would like to meet with you in the small courtyard."

The Elf Maid spoke softly.

Qin Yu nodded; he originally had a half-month appointment with the Flower Fairy, but the time had passed due to an unexpected visit to the Bai Race’s territory.

Perhaps the Flower Fairy thinks he won’t make it, and is too embarrassed to see her?

Led by the Elf Maid, he soon arrived at the familiar small courtyard.

The vines at the courtyard gate automatically parted to make a path, and inside the courtyard, the birds sang and the flowers were fragrant, as if spring had been collected entirely within this place.

On a chair woven from vines, a graceful figure seemed to walk out from a painting; she radiated a gentle light, wearing a light pink gauzy dress that danced lightly in the breeze, resembling petals in bloom.

"Fairy."

Upon seeing this stunning young lady, Qin Yu was once again dazzled.

"Sit."

A simple gesture from the Flower Fairy, and the flowers blossomed brightly, several vines weaving themselves into a chair not far away.

"Did you forget the half-month appointment, or... was the effect not satisfactory?"

Without beating around the bush, the Flower Fairy directly asked, her tone calm, without much emotional fluctuation.

Some time ago, she indeed felt a bit angry.

However, upon reconsideration, it seemed she had pinned too much hope onto Qin Yu, which led to this disturbance.

Perhaps, Qin Yu was too anxious to face her.

The time left for the Elf Race was not much, but ultimately, Qin Yu was just one from the Human Race.

Maybe she shouldn’t have placed all her hope on him.

"I’m sorry."

"I had to go out for something."

Qin Yu felt somewhat guilty.

The Empress unexpectedly asked him to go to the Bai Family of the Ancient Race, something he hadn’t anticipated happening suddenly.

"Return the withered branch of the Ancestral Tree to me."

The Flower Fairy’s expression was indifferent, as she looked at Qin Yu without the previous vibrancy.

Seeing her so cold, Qin Yu found himself a bit unaccustomed.

From their first meeting where she yelled and threatened him to their candid interactions before parting, then later coming to him with resources from the Elf Race.

Every time, whether happy or angry, the Flower Fairy had clear emotions.

Knowing he was at fault, Qin Yu didn’t argue much but simply took out the withered branch the Flower Fairy had given him a month ago with a thought.

While only a month had passed in the outside world, four months had gone by in the Lifebound Space.

A month ago, the withered branch given by the Flower Fairy had bark that was cracked and lifeless, a complete dead silence.

Yet, after soaking in the Lifebound Space for four months, a tender green unexpectedly sprang from the cracked bark, a small bud.

Though extremely small, it carried the hope of new life, stubbornly emerging from the cracked bark.

The tender green resembled a gem encrusted on the withered branch. The breeze stirred, and the bud gently trembled like announcing the arrival of renewal to the lifeless branch.

"This..."

"!!!"

The Flower Fairy froze in place, staring intently at the withered branch in Qin Yu’s hand, her beautiful eyes akin to glass, reflecting incredulity.

Hesitating a bit, Qin Yu stepped forward, gently taking the Flower Fairy’s hand and placing the withered branch in her palm.

"Buzz..."

The next moment, a unique vitality emanated from the Flower Fairy’s hand, and the bud on the withered branch slowly stretched out into a small tender leaf.

On its surface, veins were clearly visible, vaguely bearing an ancient pattern, as if nature had deliberately left its mark.

On the withered branch, this vitality appeared exceptionally precious, the green vibrant, seeming to offer new hope in the face of despair.

Cradling it as if a treasure of utmost value, the elegant face of the Flower Fairy showed streams of tears despite the rosy complexion.

Unable to bear it, Qin Yu instinctively gently wiped them away for her.

Her long eyelashes fluttered gently, and finally, she returned to her senses, perhaps recalling the promise made at the half-month appointment.

Previously extremely resistant to Qin Yu’s approach, she now showed no resistance as he withdrew his hand, her face slightly tilting only afterward.

Looking at the shy redness of her exceedingly beautiful face, Qin Yu finally understood the meaning of overwhelming beauty and breathtaking allure!

The Flower Fairy’s slender and delicate fingers gently caressed the withered branch in her palm, reluctantly putting it away.
