Fairy, listen to my explanation.

Chapter 405: My head is not clean anymore!
Qin Yu had no words to say when facing the innocent and delicate Xiao Ling'er.

He is not a saint, and even calls himself an ordinary person.

If Xiao Ling'er wasn't too young and I wasn't worried about hurting her, I would have given her injections and medicine a long time ago.

A day passes slowly, mixed with pain and happiness.

into the night.

The Queen Mother was summoned back to Yuhua Palace.

In order to accompany Xiao Ling'er, Qin Yu specially asked the "most beautiful" master's wife to stay.

At first, Yin Qinghe felt a little unnatural facing the princess of noble status, but when Xiao Ling'er leaned on her comfortably and quickly fell asleep, she was no longer as reserved as before.

That traitor.

I'm so lucky that even Her Royal Highness the Princess...

"Damn it, Xiao Ling'er can stay in Huayang Palace, why can't I?!"

In Yuhua Palace, the Empress Dowager was alone. She felt so empty and lonely that she wanted to rush to the Imperial Study to confront the Empress.

However, thinking of the empress's fierce eyes, the empress dowager struggled again and again, and finally gave up the idea.

As time went by, the Queen Mother became more and more restless.

She really missed Xiao Ling'er. She didn't know if she had fallen asleep. She wondered if she could get used to sleeping without her holding her.

In this state of longing, the Empress Dowager looked towards the direction of Huayang Palace as if possessed by a ghost.

Perhaps, Her Majesty the Empress was busy, or she might not have expected that the Empress Dowager would disobey her orders.

"Oh, so you're already asleep?"

The Queen Mother did not use that special perception, but "looked" towards Huayang Palace.

Her eyes seemed to penetrate the palace walls and the distance, and the next moment, the scene of Xiao Ling'er falling asleep appeared in her mind like a picture.

what!
So big!

Qin Yu's lovely wife seemed to be comparable to the Empress Dowager.

Damn Qin Yu, he has such an older wife, but he always steals glances at me with burning eyes.

Humph, do you really think I can't feel anything? !

By the way, where is Qin Yu?

Why doesn’t he sleep with Xiao Ling’er?
The Queen Mother looked around Huayang Palace again and soon found Qin Yu. What was strange was that there seemed to be some strange noises coming from that side hall.

"Why are so many people sleeping together?"

"Oh, we can't even sleep together, how stupid!"

"No, this is..."

I don't know what the Empress Dowager saw, but her pupils suddenly shrank and she covered her eyes tightly with a pair of jade-like hands. A blush quickly appeared on her delicate cheeks, and even her ears turned red.

The Queen Mother never thought that Qin Yu, he, he was actually in Huayang Palace...

Oh my God, how could you do such a thing!

Although the Empress Dowager has read many novels, she has never been exposed to this kind of knowledge!

Ah!
My eyes are not clean anymore!
The Queen Mother shook her little head vigorously.

It seemed that she wanted to get rid of those disgusting images from her head, but no matter how hard she tried, those images seemed to be engraved in her mind and could not be removed.

Even if she closed her eyes, those scenes continued to appear in her mind.

Woohoo...

Spicy balls!

My head is not clean anymore.

Damn Qin Yu, I've been so good to you, but...

hum!

I'll make note of this for you!
Qin Yu, who was in the midst of hard training, never thought that it was just because Xiao Ling'er was staying in Huayang Palace for the first night, so he did not bring his wives back to his natal space.

It was just a normal practice, but he was seen by the Empress Dowager.

After the daily training was over, Qin Yu took Yan Yu back to his natal space.

The pressure from the flower fairy made him dare not relax.

It was not until this time that he carefully observed the dead branches left by the flower fairy.

The bark of the dead branches was rolled up and covered with dry cracks, and there was no life at all.

He held it in his hand, and even though he urged his true energy to inject it into it, no miracle happened.

"Husband, how come you have a branch of the Tree of Life?"

A hint of surprise flashed across Yan Yu's beautiful eyes.

"tree of Life?"

Qin Yu suddenly recalled an ancient book he had seen in the Hall of Ten Thousand Books. It contained not only a record of the Tree of Life, but also a shocking picture.

In that picture, there is an ancient tree towering into the sky. Its branches are extremely lush, covering the sky and blocking out the sun, like countless giant hands holding up the entire sky. Every leaf on the branches is like a huge emerald disc, full of vitality.

Even the bark is covered with mysterious and complex lines, each of which seems to record the vicissitudes of time and the mysteries of all things in the world.

At that time, Yan Yu also mentioned that the ancient tree in this picture was not even one-tenth as valuable as a real living ancient tree.

"You didn't see it wrong, did you?"

Qin Yu looked at the dry branches in his hands and couldn't associate this lifeless branch with the legendary Tree of Life.

"The elves are in big trouble."

Yan Yu paused and said slowly: "I heard your majesty once said that the Tree of Life is dying."

"The arrival of the flower fairy, or rather, the birth of the elves, should be to find a way to save us."

Hearing this, Qin Yu was immediately relieved.

No wonder the Flower Fairy set such a test in the Flower Language Building. It turned out that this was her real purpose.

But how could the tree of life die?
The Tree of Life in records is full of vitality. Any leaf of it is like a panacea for healing. It is difficult for all races in the world to even get a leaf!
Moreover, the Tree of Life is inextricably linked with the entire continent. How could such a sacred tree drop dry branches?

unless……

The world has changed, and the vitality of the land under our feet is gradually disappearing and drying up.

Thinking of this, Qin Yu suddenly figured out many problems.

No wonder, according to the records in many ancient books of the Hall of Ten Thousand Books, the cultivation in the past was not so harsh at all. Now, for any realm of cultivators, one needs to look at their physique. If the physique is not good enough, they are not even qualified to practice.

The fundamental reason for this is probably the loss of spiritual energy from heaven and earth!
"I can't even control the power of Dao Yun, I'm really powerless..."

Qin Yu shook his head and sighed.

Originally, he thought that his true energy was special, and he still had a little bit of luck.

"My husband, even if you have the power of Tao Yun, you can't do it."

Yan Yu said solemnly.

In fact, not only the great geniuses tried, even the empress herself tried it, but such an existence could not give the dead branch new life.

Qin Yu smiled bitterly.

"Forget it. If it really doesn't work, I will just stay in my natal space and not go out."

He tried several methods, but nothing worked. Finally, he gave up and stuck the dead branches into the soil next to him.

"Little rabbit, you haven't let your husband see your little tail today."

Qin Yu put his arm around Yan Yu's slender waist, and little Yan Wei's pretty face immediately blushed with embarrassment.

"You...don't you want to practice well?"

"Looking at the tail is also a form of training!"

"Can you not look at the tail?"

In the room, Yan Yu's low cry was heard quietly.

Fortunately, Yan Yu was not there when the pyramid was being stacked, otherwise, the Empress Dowager's little head would not have been able to absorb so much knowledge.

While Qin Yu was practicing hard, he didn't know that the Empress Dowager in Yuhua Palace was tossing and turning in sleep, her pretty face sometimes flushed, and sometimes waving her fists and making threats.

……

Huayang Palace.

The Queen Mother seems a little strange today.

Based on Qin Yu's understanding of the Empress Dowager, she should come over as soon as daybreak.

However, not only did the Queen Mother not arrive until almost noon, she also seemed to be deliberately avoiding him.

In fact, the few times he tried to get closer, the Empress Dowager avoided him intentionally or unintentionally.

When Qin Yu wasn't paying attention, she looked at Qin Yu with a strange look.

"Could it be that he was called back last night and is angry?"

Qin Yu suddenly felt a little guilty.

In fact, he was not opposed to the Queen Mother staying overnight in Huayang Palace, and he was even looking forward to it.

But Her Majesty the Empress won’t allow it!

When the Queen Mother was standing alone, Qin Yu walked forward with Xiao Ling'er. However, just as they approached, the Queen Mother's back suddenly tensed.

The silver hair fluttered gently, and each strand seemed to be twinkling with stars. It must be said that the Empress Dowager was almost flawless. Her back was graceful, swaying like a willow in the wind. Her palace skirt outlined a perfect curve of her back, and her tense movements made her skirt tremble slightly, which made people think of many things.

"The Empress Dowager."

Qin Yu silently and tentatively moved closer and called softly.

The Queen Mother responded indifferently and took half a step forward, as if she was afraid of being hit by something.

"Empress Dowager, what's wrong with you?"

Even the simple-minded Xiao Ling'er noticed something unusual about this subconscious action.

The Queen Mother had been here for almost half an hour, but she seemed to be avoiding her and Brother Qin Yu, which made Xiao Ling'er very confused.

"I'm fine."

The Queen Mother turned around stiffly. She was a simple girl, and everything on her mind was clear on her face, but she still acted stubbornly.

Her face was fair, her eyes twinkled like stars, revealing a hint of ethereality, but her curved dark eyebrows almost showed that she was worried!

"Your Highness, please tell me what you want to say. If Qin Yu can help, I will do whatever it takes."

After spending this period of time together, Qin Yu almost regarded the Empress Dowager as his own.

No one knows who it was that made the ethereal and graceful Empress Dowager so worried.

Could it be that he was scolded by the empress again?
Qin Yu was filled with anger. If he hadn't been so weak, he would have wanted to have a real argument with the Empress.

Such a beautiful Queen Mother is meant to be loved. How can you be mean to her?
"do not want!"

The Queen Mother refused reflexively.

I don’t want help from a cruel guy like you!

The Queen Mother suddenly looked at Xiao Ling'er, her beautiful eyes filled with worry and pity.

Oh my god, Qin Yu is so big, and Xiao Ling'er is still so small...

Oh no, oh no, why did those scenes appear again!

The Empress Dowager is about to cry. How can she clear her mind?

Little did she know that the more she wanted to forget something, the more she would remember it.

【Happy New Year everyone, thank you for your continued support, thank you, thank you! 】
