Fairy, listen to my explanation.

Chapter 501 Your Majesty, This Isn't My Fault

Seven days passed in the blink of an eye.

Qin Yu barely stepped off the Golden Thunder Lotus, and she was always ready to grant any request from the Empress in the Seven Emotions Tribulation.

Within these seven days, the Empress was completely satisfied, and the warm current within her body had visibly doubled in size.

This shows how fierce the battle was.

Now, the cracks on the Great Dao staircase within the Empress's body have been almost completely repaired. What surprised the Empress even more was that she had no time to devote herself to cultivation, yet her comprehension of the power of the light attribute Dao had made rapid progress.

During the "Seven Emotions Tribulation," unknowingly, the Great Dao Staircase of Light attribute actually built its tenth staircase.

Similarly, there was something that greatly worried the Empress.

The unknown energy within my body seems to have increased significantly, and even the frequency of my periods has increased.

Could it be...

Is she really going to give birth?!

If it weren't for the fact that the skin on her lower abdomen was still taut and flat, the Empress would have seriously doubted this.

You've only been away for a few days, and you're already bringing a chubby baby back with you?
The Empress could hardly imagine what kind of strange look the Empress Dowager would give her.

It's easy to manipulate auspicious omens, but if she really goes that far, will she tell Xiao Ling'er?

Thinking of this, the Empress's heart trembled slightly.

The next moment, he felt Qin Yu, who was holding him, harden her fist, and the hand that was originally on his waist began to wander.

This guy, has he misunderstood something? I didn't give him any hints!

It's simply too much!
The Empress glared at Qin Yu, her guilt growing stronger.

"Your Majesty, this...this isn't my fault!"

Facing that perfectly dignified face, Qin Yu instinctively offered an explanation.

The empress was usually incredibly dignified, which had long planted a seed of awe in his heart.

but……

Putting aside the facts, was the fat-headed dinosaur completely without fault?!

Seeing Qin Yu's innocent expression, the Empress felt even more furious.

Was she in the wrong in terms of feelings?
What's even more outrageous is that, despite his seemingly innocent appearance, he didn't move his hand away at all, and didn't even relax it a little.

If it weren't for the fact that she was still caught in a love triangle, the Empress would have loved to slap Qin Yu away.

"Your Majesty, have you rested well?"

Seeing that the Empress remained silent for a long time with clear eyes, Qin Yu tentatively asked.

Next, I suppose we'll face the tribulations of "love" and "desire"?
Upon seeing Qin Yu lying on her back, the Empress felt a surge of intense shame.

Do you still want me to be the one in power?
"Wait, isn't this supposed to be Love Robbery?"

Just as the Empress was struggling with her decision, she suddenly heard Qin Yu's soft murmur.

This guy seems a little suspicious?
No, what does he suspect?
Do you think I would deliberately fake undergoing tribulation and let him succeed?!

Ah!
Be cautious, for even an emperor can be overconfident!

"Qin Yu, may I... kiss you?"

The empress suppressed the shame in her heart, her clear eyes revealing a hint of dependent love.

"Of course!"

Qin Yu shifted her body back slightly to adjust her position.

"???"

The Empress's smile froze.

Hurrah.

You actually want me to eat salt?!
"Your Majesty, didn't you want to kiss me?"

Qin Yu looked at her with a puzzled expression, as if... this was just a perfectly normal thing.

"I don't really like it this way."

The Empress bit her lip and leaned against him, but she inadvertently caught a glimpse of doubt in his eyes.

Has this guy gotten smarter?

In the midst of a "love" ordeal, it seems one cannot refuse any intimate behavior.

To avoid being exposed, the Empress had no choice but to endure the physical and psychological discomfort.

However, they refused to back down.

Even so, she felt incredibly... ashamed.

How could I have done such a thing?!
A variety of conflicting emotions filled the Empress's heart, preventing her from finding peace.

It fluctuates, sometimes high, sometimes low.

It goes up and down.

As the tribulations of the seven emotions gradually pass by.

The Empress absorbed cultivation resources much faster, clearly wanting to take advantage of the last two tribulations to maximize the warm current within her body.

The tribulations of the seven emotions have finally been overcome completely.

Looking at the sleeping empress, Qin Yu felt extremely reluctant to leave, but dared not linger any longer. She quickly picked up the robe from the lotus leaf, put it on, and immediately ran outside.

"Humph!"

The moment the door closed, the graceful Empress on the lotus slowly opened her eyes, a flash of coldness passing through them.

Originally, I was thinking that after he recovered, I would punish Qin Yu a little to strengthen his sense of awe and prevent him from being improper in the future.

That guy ran too fast, he didn't give her a chance at all!
Qin Yu originally planned to run outside the flying chariot. He hadn't forgotten that after the Empress recovered last time, she destroyed the entire flying chariot!

A powerful, suffocating aura emanated from the room, like a dragon slowly awakening.

Qin Yu took a deep breath, suppressing the ripples in her mind from the past few days, and tried her best to maintain a sense of awe.

After a long while, the room door slowly opened, and a dignified figure appeared in the doorway.

"His Majesty."

Qin Yu didn't dare to raise his head, but bowed to her and called out respectfully.

The Empress gave him a cold glance.

But seeing that the latter was so respectful and honest, she couldn't find a suitable reason to teach him a lesson.

If the Empress hadn't witnessed Qin Yu's utter madness firsthand, she would have truly been fooled by his honest appearance.

Ah!
How hypocritical.

Finally, without saying a word, the Empress waved her hand, and the flying chariot vanished into thin air.

Qin Yu's heart skipped a beat. She stole a glance and saw that the Empress was facing her directly, so she didn't dare to ask any questions rashly.

"Humph!"

The Empress snorted inwardly. She wanted to obliterate the flying chariot so that Qin Yu would realize that some things should be treated as if they never happened.

However, this flying chariot was forged from fragments of space. If it is destroyed, what will happen if one's mental state becomes unstable and one needs to undergo tribulation again?
Outside?
A person with auspicious omens would certainly know what happened.

"Om..."

Just as the Empress composed herself and prepared to return to the capital, she suddenly noticed that a long-unused teleportation stone had lit up.

"The Emperor of Chu?"

The Empress frowned slightly, hesitated for a moment, and then connected the teleportation link.

"Emperor Yan, you've finally accepted!"

Soon, a slightly illusory scene appeared in mid-air. The Chu Emperor looked somewhat tired, and even his voice seemed to show a sense of relief because the Empress had finally connected.

When his gaze fell behind the Empress, a look of surprise flashed in his eyes.

That guy was actually following behind the Empress?
Who exactly is he, and why does he receive such treatment?
This distance... seems a bit too intimate, doesn't it?

"What's the matter?"

The Empress keenly sensed that the Emperor of Chu seemed to be in a strange state.

Even in their two encounters where the Chu Emperor was at a disadvantage, he had never lost his composure like this.

"Does Emperor Yan possess the Bright Moon Pearl?"

The Emperor of Chu got straight to the point.

Although he was puzzled as to where the Great Yan Empress had gone these past few days and why she hadn't even answered his messages, as a fellow emperor, he wouldn't pry into such private matters, even if he was curious.

"The Bright Moon Pearl?"

The Empress frowned slightly. The Bright Moon Pearl was a unique possession of the Empress Dowager of the Great Yan Dynasty. However, each Bright Moon Pearl required a large amount of the Empress Dowager's moonlight power to be condensed.

Even within the Great Yan territory, only the palace masters guarding each palace domain possess a few, as a precaution against unforeseen events.

While the Bright Moon Pearl is beneficial to cultivators' practice, it is primarily used to suppress malevolent energy.

What did the Chu Emperor want the Bright Moon Pearl for?
Could it be that the ancient formations within the Great Chu Immortal Kingdom have also encountered problems?

However, what puzzled the Empress was that although the Great Chu Immortal Kingdom did not have auspicious omens, it was not lacking in array masters. Unless the situation was too critical, the Chu Emperor would certainly not lower himself to ask her for help.

"Within the Great Chu territory, ancient formations have also been destroyed?"

The Empress's voice became more serious.

The harm caused by malevolent energy extends far beyond a single palace domain or a single immortal kingdom.

Once the ancient formation is destroyed, the terrifying malevolent energy and evil spirits will turn the surrounding area into a living hell, and countless living beings will become walking corpses that only know how to kill!

This state will not dissipate; on the contrary, as more and more creatures and more and more areas are affected by the malevolent energy, it will become uncontrollable.

At that time, not only the Great Chu Immortal Kingdom, but other immortal kingdoms will also be unable to escape disaster.

"I was careless."

The Chu Emperor gave a bitter smile, turned his body slightly, and the image transmitted immediately showed a devastated land.

Huge stone pillars lay scattered on the ground, many broken in half, their array patterns forcibly erased. The most shocking sight was the earth in the middle!
There was a deep pit, tens of feet in size, isolated by only a thin, almost transparent membrane array. Below, a massive amount of red and black malevolent energy surged.

At this moment, three figures were sitting in front of the formation, pouring their spiritual power into it to barely maintain the formation and prevent it from being broken immediately.

Looking at the surging malevolent energy in the scene, the Empress knew that even if the three of them exhausted their spiritual power, they would not be able to prevent the formation from being broken!

"So much hostility!"

Qin Yu's pupils contracted, not because he was attracted by the stunningly beautiful back view, but because a fiery passion surged in his eyes as he gazed at the malevolent aura in the scene.

It's been a long time since I've taken action to vent my anger!

Such a massive amount of malevolent energy, if refined, would undoubtedly provide a large amount of Fire Points!
"Emperor Chu, even if we had the Bright Moon Pearl, it probably wouldn't be of much use in this situation."

The Empress pondered for a moment before speaking.

The Bright Moon Pearl can indeed suppress evil spirits, but it lacks the power to purify. Moreover, it requires a powerful cultivator to use their own spiritual power as a catalyst to activate the moonlight power within it.

However, both cultivators and the moonlight power within the Bright Moon Pearl will eventually be exhausted.

At that time, the resentment will eventually break free and may even become more severe.

"I know."

The Chu Emperor gave a bitter smile; how could he not know?

However, at this point, there is no better solution.

"Emperor Yan, I've heard that in the capital of Great Yan, there is a master who repaired the damaged array for the Xiaoyao Pavilion. I wonder if this master is still in the capital of Great Yan?"

Suddenly, as if he had thought of something, the Chu Emperor asked a question.

"No."

The Empress responded calmly.

Upon hearing this, a clear look of disappointment flashed in the eyes of the Chu Emperor.

That makes sense. Such masters are often solitary by nature, accustomed to a life of leisure, unmoved by fame or fortune. How could they possibly stay in one place forever?
