Chapter 613 Just a Hug, Nothing More

Chapter 612: Chapter 564: Just a Hug, Nothing More

Last time, Qin Yu spent a month to bring a hint of moisture to the dry branches of the Ancestral Tree, making her feel the possibility of life.

This time, it was also a month, but not only did the dry branches of the Ancestral Tree become moist, they even sprouted a bud!

Full of vitality!

This is simply unbelievable!

"You really did it."

The Flower Fairy looked at Qin Yu again, her bright eyes shining, no longer indifferent as before.

"I said, I made great progress, but Fairy was unwilling to see."

Qin Yu felt a bit innocent. After advancing his Lifebound Space to the Fourth Layer, he came to look for the Flower Fairy.

"I..."

The Flower Fairy was momentarily speechless, a bit apologetic.

Did she misunderstand Qin Yu again?

No, why say again.

The first time, she wasn’t wronged at all; this guy indeed offended her, and he really saw everything.

However, the progress Qin Yu showed did indeed give her a big surprise.

Perhaps, before the Ancestral Tree withers completely, Qin Yu might really bring vitality to it!

"Does the promise Fairy made before still hold?"

Qin Yu gently rubbed his fingers, a lingering fragrance of her delicate face lingered on his hand.

"Swoosh!"

Upon hearing this, a bit of unnaturalness emerged from the excited expression of the Flower Fairy.

Yes!

She indeed thought that if Qin Yu could really do it, she might allow him to come a little closer, hold hands...

She should be able to accept.

But at this moment, the Flower Fairy found it hard to do so.

Last time when he touched her wrist, she washed her hands for a long time, turning them red.

Seeing the Flower Fairy’s shyness, Qin Yu didn’t mind. He directly reached over and took her delicate, flower-like jade hand.

The warmth from his palm made the Flower Fairy a bit flustered, her emotions constantly rising and falling.

At this moment, her cheeks were flushed, her eyes filled with shyness and unnatural avoidance, while her other hand unconsciously tugged at her skirt hem, trying to resist this sudden contact.

But thinking about the promise she made earlier, she couldn’t refuse.

Although a month had passed, the change in the Ancestral Tree’s dry branches shocked her greatly, and the originally weak thread of hope in her heart grew much bigger.

Perhaps, just as the Ancestral Gods’ prophecy said, this person in front of her might truly rejuvenate the Ancestral Tree!

The Flower Fairy was reluctant to have contact with the opposite sex, but thinking of this hope, she could only suppress her inner resistance.

However, after a while, Qin Yu still had no intention of letting go.

Her hand was about to turn red from his grip.

"Is that enough?"

The Flower Fairy’s red lips parted slightly, her voice as melodious as an oriole, yet carrying a trace of unavoidable panic. She slightly turned aside, surrounded by swirling petals, trying to cover her somewhat burning cheeks with them.

"Fairy’s promise can’t be just this, right?"

Yet, Qin Yu’s passionate gaze pierced through the swirling petals, leaving her nowhere to hide.

"What?"

The Flower Fairy was stunned.

Otherwise, what more did he want?

"Just this is not enough."

Qin Yu could tell that although the Flower Fairy was resisting, she was trying hard to suppress it.

If so, why not push a bit further.

For the pure and noble Elf Princess, maintaining reverence forever would leave no possibility of further progress—only by repeatedly breaking through her boundaries...

"If Fairy is unwilling, you can speak at any time. I won’t force you."

Qin Yu gently applied pressure with his hand, bringing that breathtakingly beautiful face, warm as jade, soft and sweet body with a charming floral fragrance closer.

On the Flower Fairy’s pretty face was an uncontainable panic and shyness, instinctively reaching out a hand to block in front of her to avoid such contact.

She was a noble Elf Princess, never expecting to have physical contact with a human male.

Touching hands was already her limit.

A tender embrace?

Even just thinking about it, she found it hard to accept!

"If Fairy finds it difficult, just pretend I was never here."

Qin Yu returned to normal, showing a nonchalant attitude.

Honestly, facing the stunning Flower Fairy, it was impossible not to be moved, especially since he had seen her most beautiful side, knowing how enchanting she was.

Like peach blossom petals with morning dew in springtime.

Who could possibly resist?

But simply forcing it wouldn’t work.

It may even backfire.

Upon hearing this, the Flower Fairy’s pretty face changed slightly.

She could tell Qin Yu wasn’t joking.

Originally, she should feel relieved for his retreat, but for some reason, her heart felt empty, even a bit... anxious?

What does this mean?

From the first encounter, this guy left a rogue impression in her heart. She didn’t really believe Qin Yu would truly give up.

After all, his hand hadn’t let go yet.

A tactic of pursuing by withdrawal?

The Flower Fairy gently bit her lip.

Even though she knew the truth, she didn’t dare gamble with the future of the Elf Race.

What if Qin Yu got angry and let go, ignoring the matter entirely?

Would there be anyone else in this world who could save the ancient tree?

The Flower Fairy wanted to turn around and leave, but her feet felt like they were bound by invisible threads. She couldn’t move, resisting yet struggling and hesitating.

"Just... a brief... embrace."

Eventually, the Flower Fairy compromised, her voice trembling slightly, betraying her inner turmoil.

Qin Yu’s lips curled into a barely detectable smile, his palms quietly tightened, pulling her lithe body completely into his embrace.

The moment they touched, it was as if the entire colorful spring was gathered in his arms.

The Flower Fairy was surrounded by a subtle fragrance, a perfect blend of nature and freshness, elegantly lingering at his nose, making him unconsciously intoxicated.

An indescribable peace and contentment slowly flowed through his heart.

Qin Yu unknowingly relaxed, tightly cradling her in his arms. The feeling was pure and profound, making him reluctant to let go.

Through the thin fabric, Qin Yu could even sense the Flower Fairy’s gentle yet tense breathing, each rise and fall causing ripples in his heart.

At this moment, time in the small courtyard seemed to come to a complete standstill, the outside noise shut out. Even the blooming flowers seemed to shyly close up.

The Flower Fairy’s exquisitely beautiful face gently rested against his firm chest, the warmth almost setting her aflame.

She felt her cheeks burn.

She could only close her eyes in tension, her delicate body taut, unsure where to place her hands.

Fortunately, though Qin Yu held tightly, he did not make any further moves. She could even feel the tenderness and fondness in his gaze.

As the noble Elf Princess, the Flower Fairy had never seen such emotion in anyone’s eyes, nor did she need this guy’s pity.

However, to be honest.

This silver thief’s embrace... isn’t too bad?

The feeling is hard to describe, yet it gives her a sense of security.

She couldn’t remember how long it had been since she felt this way.

Thus, the Flower Fairy didn’t resist strongly; instead, she seemed somewhat... compliant?

Since it’s already like this.

But...

This quiet companionship didn’t last long, as the Flower Fairy soon noticed something amiss.

This guy’s... tail!

Not behaving!

"Is that enough?"

The Flower Fairy’s voice trembled a little, trying to maintain composure, yet her gaze rippled like the moonlit lake.

In this moment, she seemed no longer the lofty Elf Princess, just a startled young girl.

"Not enough."

Qin Yu, lost in the enchanting floral scent, only came to his senses upon hearing the Flower Fairy’s voice. His hand, originally on her back, landed on her slender waist.

The Flower Fairy’s body was like a perfect artwork, every curve just right, making her slender waist irresistible.

"That’s enough!"

"Let’s stop here..."

The Flower Fairy’s body shook, she couldn’t help but push him away, her frightened voice carrying a cold determination.

"What a pity!"

Qin Yu sighed lightly in his heart, the sensation at his fingertips still intriguing.

Seeing his unsatisfied expression, the Flower Fairy couldn’t help but glare at him.

Though she saw hope for the Ancestral Tree’s revival in Qin Yu, it didn’t overshadow his label as a silver thief!

Didn’t he already start wagging his tail?

So brazen, even somewhat... ostentatious.

The Flower Fairy wished she could conjure thorny vines, whipping him a hundred times, teaching him the consequences of desecrating the Elf Princess.

"Fairy, could you tell me about the Ancestral Tree of the Elf Race?"

Qin Yu didn’t press further. Honestly, he was surprised the Flower Fairy allowed him to hold her quietly for so long.

The Flower Fairy originally wanted to find a reason for him to leave, but upon hearing this, she calmed herself and sat down, her skirt swaying, revealing a pair of fair, tender jade feet to Qin Yu.

"Nowadays, Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi is becoming increasingly scarce, and the situation of the Ancestral Tree is growing worse..."

The Flower Fairy initially intended to cover her feet with petals but, recalling the changes in the dried branches of the Ancestral Tree, she restrained herself.

Consider it giving him a little reward.

Just a glance, like he said, they’ve already been open with each other.

Thinking of that scene...

The Flower Fairy felt utterly ashamed!

At that time, she didn’t mean it that way.

Back then, she was hopeless, suddenly seeing the transformation of the withered branches, overcome with excitement, she felt for this glimmer of hope, she could give up anything.

Thus, leading to that unforeseen event.

"Fairy, are you alright?"

Seeing the Flower Fairy pause and an inexplicable blush rush to her pretty face, Qin Yu was puzzled.

Heaven and Earth’s witness.

This time, he hadn’t done anything!

"I-I’m fine."

The Flower Fairy regained her focus, took a deep breath, preparing to continue discussing the Ancestral Tree’s situation.

"Fairy, perhaps it’s the Ancestral Tree you’re worried about too much. How about letting me... help you relax?"

Qin Yu shook his head, offering a kind suggestion.
