Fairy, listen to my explanation.

Chapter 508 With me here, don't be afraid!
Single-mindedly pursuing the Tao?
The beautiful clan leader was somewhat astonished. "You're just a cultivator at the Lotus Platform Realm. How many Lotus Platforms have you cultivated?"
They haven't even comprehended the power of Dao, have they?
what.

wrong.

Could it be that she has already touched upon the power of the Dao?

As for following one's heart, the beauty clan leader couldn't help but think of the scene that Su Xihe witnessed that day.

Did she misunderstand something?

"Senior, have you ever heard of the story of the Ruyi Jingu Bang (the magical staff)?"

A sly glint flashed in Liu Zixiao's beautiful eyes.

Back then, wasn't I attracted by my disciple's storybooks?

I've heard a little about it.

The beautiful clan leader took a deep breath, trying her best to remain aloof.

She really didn't dare to meet Su Xihe's gaze, not because she was afraid, but simply...

In her heart, Qin Yu was their Daoist partner, but for the Qingqiu Fox Clan, her behavior would be despised by her clansmen!

Fortunately, Liu Zixiao came to the rescue and started telling the story.

It must be said that although these humans are weak, they are very interesting, imaginative, and their creativity is the best among all races.

Perhaps this is why humanity was able to rise from an insignificant race to the pinnacle of the world.

Both the chess games and the stories held considerable appeal for the beautiful clan leader.

If it weren't for her status, she would have been unable to resist participating in the chess game.

Soon, the beauty clan leader realized that something was wrong.

This storybook...

There's something strange about what Liu Zixiao said.

What kind of magical artifact is this? Why can it change size so drastically and even control floods?!
……

Qin Yu could perceive everything that happened in her natal space with perfect clarity.

However, he didn't pay much attention to these things on a regular basis.

After their daily cultivation, the young wives would stay in the courtyard to continue their practice, while only a few girls, such as Xiao Ling'er and Lin Shuishui, would often play there.

The space in my natal chart seems unusually lively today.

Besides Xiao Yanwei and Yan Yu cultivating in their own courtyard, even the sect leader and master have appeared. Moreover, the two masters seem to be imparting some strange and unusual knowledge to the beauty clan leader.

Judging from the 'naive' appearance of the beauty clan leader, she doesn't seem to understand their intentions.

If the Empress hadn't been right in front of her, Qin Yu would have loved to immediately return to her natal space and personally explain the Journey to the West to the beautiful clan leader.

The Empress moved with incredible speed, traveling at breakneck speed, and in just a few days, the capital city came into view.

At this point, Qin Yu finally gave up.

It seems... Her Majesty the Empress has no intention of undergoing the Seven Emotions Tribulation again.

I don't know if I'll have another chance like this.

As the Empress's aura descended, a figure swiftly arrived in front of the Imperial Study.

When Ling Tianfeng saw Qin Yu beside the Empress, he was taken aback, but he immediately understood.

Qin Yu must have unique strengths to become a courtier, and the Empress must have something important to say about taking him out.

Just like back then, when the Empress couldn't discipline someone, he would step in and beat them up.

He may be a bit simple-minded, but he's not stupid.

He knew very well who he could offend and who he couldn't, so he made sure to build a good relationship with Qin Yu from the very beginning.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, please let me go to the border!"

Ling Tianfeng pleaded, his face filled with grief and indignation.

This period was the darkest time of his life!
No one had ever supervised his cultivation as strictly as Yan Zhi.

Qin Yu had no idea what Ling Tianfeng had gone through.

However, judging from his tearful appearance, he must have suffered a great injustice.

It's really strange. He is a royal retainer, after all. Apart from Her Majesty the Empress, who else could make him suffer such injustice?
"Get up and talk."

The Empress glanced at it, her voice indifferent.

Ling Tianfeng's strength had actually improved, which was quite unexpected.

A moment later, a rosy glow descended, and a figure enveloped in the power of moonlight appeared in front of the Imperial Study.

Ling Tianfeng, who was about to cry and complain, stopped abruptly, not daring to even sob, and his expression became even more strange.

He did try.

The Empress Dowager's decree was merely a formality, but Yan Zhi showed no mercy in her actions!
If anyone slacks off in their cultivation, Commander Yan Zhi will teach them a lesson in just how terrifying a peak existence below the Half-Saint level truly is.

If he weren't so thick-skinned, a single lesson would have been enough to keep him bedridden for half a year.

It was precisely because of his strong physical body that Ling Tianfeng suffered pain far beyond what ordinary people could imagine.

"Little Yanzhi".

The Empress Dowager glanced around and frowned when she saw Ling Tianfeng.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty the Empress Dowager, I...I must go back to cultivate now!"

Ling Tianfeng shuddered and wisely chose to take his leave before the leader of the Flame Guard arrived.

"Qin Yu, you're finally back!"

After Ling Tianfeng's figure disappeared, the moonlight on the Empress Dowager faded, revealing a stunningly beautiful face.

The Empress glanced at the auspicious omen, too lazy to bother with the matter of etiquette.

Ah!
Looking at her worried expression, does she think I would force Qin Yu?
How ridiculous!

The empress had just turned around when her expression changed slightly.

I'm thinking about getting pregnant again!
"Oh!"

The door to the imperial study was slammed shut.

In the past, the Empress Dowager would have been terrified. But now, all she wanted to know was whether the tyrant had...

"Your Majesty, I'm alright."

The Empress Dowager's delicate nose twitched slightly. In the sunlight, her exquisite face was full of charm, making Qin Yu somewhat unable to control herself.

At such close range, the great phoenix was practically pressed against him.

Watching her gently twitch her nose and those alluring red lips, he couldn't help but swallow hard. Those small mouths, like ripe strawberries, made him want to pluck them and take a bite.

The Empress Dowager did not answer, but carefully smelled it again...

Ok.

It still has that tyrannical feel to it.

However, I don't know if it's because of the time or something else, but it's not as rich as last time, it's a bit weak.

"Is it really okay?"

The Empress Dowager looked suspicious. Seeing Qin Yu's hesitant expression, she seemed to guess something. She patted the phoenix and said, "Tell me what grievances you have, and I will stand up for you!"

"Snapped!"

From inside the imperial study came the sound of a writing brush breaking.

"Don't be afraid, I...I will protect you."

The Empress Dowager's imposing aura faltered slightly, and her voice involuntarily lowered a few decibels, but she still stood firmly in front of Qin Yu.

Looking at the Empress Dowager, who was both timid and brave, Qin Yu couldn't bear to implicate her.

Moreover, even if she knew, she couldn't control the Empress.

Besides... this isn't what Qin Yu wanted.

"Let's go back to Yuhua Palace. Little Ling'er misses the Empress Dowager very much."

Qin Yu glanced at the tightly closed door of the Imperial Study and decided to stop the Empress Dowager from self-destructing.

"I miss her very much too. Quickly let Xiao Ling'er come out and keep me company."

Upon hearing this, the Empress Dowager's attention was immediately diverted.

Still so easily fooled...

No wonder Her Majesty the Empress is keeping such a close watch on things; otherwise, the Great Yan royal family might be embroiled in some scandal.

After all, she is the Empress Dowager.

At least, in name, she was the Empress's...mother.

For some reason, just thinking about a certain scene makes me inexplicably more excited, what's going on?!
……

Yuhua Palace.

The Empress Dowager held Xiao Ling'er tightly for a long time. Seeing that Xiao Ling'er was being squeezed by the giant phoenix and could hardly breathe, she hurriedly let go.

Seeing the Empress Dowager's heartfelt care, Qin Yu couldn't help but be moved.

This empress dowager was simple and kind.

It's truly hard to imagine anyone wanting to tarnish her wonderful qualities.

"Qin Yu, is His Majesty injured again?"

After a while, while Xiao Ling'er and the other girls were playing nearby, the Empress Dowager suddenly came to Qin Yu's side, a hint of worry in her clear eyes.

"Injuried?"

Qin Yu felt a chill run down her spine.

Could it be that the Empress Dowager sensed it?

Even though we're so far from the capital, how can we still sense it so clearly?

"Didn't you both disappear together after His Majesty and the old Chu Emperor finished their fight?"

The Empress Dowager frowned and asked.

In her view, the only thing that could completely block out perception was Qin Yu's magical space.

"Disappeared? Could it be that flying chariot..."

Qin Yu's pupils contracted, only then realizing that the Empress had not destroyed the flying chariot after this tribulation.

Could it be that this flying chariot can shield the Empress Dowager from her senses?
But why did the Empress create such a flying chariot? Did she foresee her own calamity?

Actually, from the very beginning, Qin Yu had a vague feeling that something was wrong.

This time, Her Majesty the Empress's seven emotions tribulations seem to be less pure than the first time.

Qin Yu simply didn't think that much about it at first. Due to the Empress's majesty, even if he guessed something, he wasn't sure.

The thought that the Empress might not have completely lost consciousness...

Excitement, fear, thrill!

A complex mix of emotions filled Qin Yu's heart.

But things quickly calmed down.

A strange smile appeared on his lips.

Ok.

He knows nothing.

"Qin Yu, tell me honestly, what exactly happened to His Majesty?"

The Empress Dowager keenly noticed his unusual behavior.

Why is this guy suddenly so full of respect?!

That’s not right!

If he was forced by the tyrant, he must have felt grief and indignation, right?
"His Majesty was indeed injured in the battle with the Chu Emperor, but he has fully recovered now, so Your Majesty need not worry."

Qin Yu realized her lapse in composure and adjusted her direction slightly to avoid clashing with the dignified Empress Dowager.

After his reassurance, the Empress Dowager stopped asking further questions.

He had already written down the name of the Chu Emperor in his little notebook.

After visiting the Great Chu, Qin Yu's opinion of the Chu Emperor changed.

At least, as the emperor of a great immortal kingdom, he was qualified. For the sake of the people of his domain, he was able to lower himself and humbly ask the Great Yan Empress for help.

rare.

Even if such a person is bad, they can't be really that bad.

"Qin Yu, you...didn't do anything to betray Xiao Ling'er, did you?"

The Empress Dowager was a little worried, so she leaned closer and asked.

As long as that tyrant is alright, she doesn't care. It's just... poor little Ling'er.
