Fairy, listen to my explanation.

Chapter 509 The Ugly Bird That Can Transform

The Empress Dowager was very conflicted.

Her feelings for the Empress and Xiao Ling'er were actually the same.

However, the frail little Ling'er needs more care.

What angered her was that little Ling'er was already so pitiful, how could the Empress, as her older sister, steal her younger sister's man?!

snort!
What a foolish ruler.

The Empress Dowager naturally carried a unique fragrance, like the fresh air after a rain, refreshing and captivating.

Being so close, someone with average willpower would probably find it difficult to control themselves.

Qin Yu took a deep breath, and under immense pressure, replied with difficulty, "No, Your Majesty, rest assured, I will not let Ling'er down."

At this moment, if he were to reveal even the slightest flaw in front of the Empress Dowager, he had no doubt that a Tathagata Palm would descend from the sky the next instant.

"That's good."

The Empress Dowager was very satisfied with the answer, but she was still somewhat uneasy: "From now on, you must stay away from those two foxes, and..."

"Keep it away!"

The Empress Dowager glanced at the ugly chick on Qin Yu's shoulder and said.

The ugly chick, which Qin Yu had just brought out of its natal space, seemed to understand. It stopped eating the spiritual fruit in its mouth and stared at the Empress Dowager with its jewel-like eyes...

It looked like a protest.

It seems to be anything but auspicious; it is very likely that its inherent pride makes it impossible for it to bow down before the Empress Dowager.

Over this period of time, the clown chicken has grown a lot, and it seems to have undergone a transformation compared to when we first met it in the Endless Fire Domain.

The sparse downy feathers gradually grew in, and each feather emitted a soft glow, shimmering and radiant, looking like a ball of flame.

However, it was too arrogant and never even looked at the Empress with a second glance.

Qin Yu was really worried that it would offend Her Majesty the Empress and be suppressed with a single palm strike, so she left it in her natal space and only brought it out now.

"What's wrong? You're still not convinced when I'm talking to you?"

"He is Ling'er's future husband, you are not allowed to have any designs on him!"

The Empress Dowager brandished her two small fists, waving them fiercely, her words filled with threat.

A man and a bird played chess like this, their eyes meeting as if lightning flashed between them.

However, the Ugly Chick had only been born for a short time and ultimately lost.

What's so great about it? It's just a little bigger!
However, it still stood on Qin Yu's shoulder, gently bringing its head close to Qin Yu's face, trying to rub against her to show affection.

Qin Yu casually pushed him away, refusing.

The Ugly Chick was startled, and a touch of human-like grievance welled up in its ruby-like eyes.

"Hey, I already told you, you're so ugly, he would never like you."

Upon seeing this, the Empress Dowager immediately felt schadenfreude.

"Qiang Qiang..."

The sounds rang out in harmony.

The ugly chick let out a loud cry, as if arguing...

Qin Yu isn't usually like this; I can sleep in his arms!
"Wow..."

The Ugly Chick seemed eager to prove itself, its iridescent feathers tinged with a faint blush.

"Tch, you can't even transform into human form, yet you want to seduce Little Ling'er's man?"

The Empress Dowager dismissed it with disdain.

It seems I was overthinking things, and I even puffed out my chest in a show of pride towards the ugly chick.

Even with such a simple movement, the magnificent phoenix robe seemed to be struggling under the weight, the garment taut, making Qin Yu's heart pound with fear.

The Ugly Chick looked at Qin Yu's burning eyes, then at the Empress Dowager's magnificent phoenix, lost in thought.

Flames surged.

The next moment, the ugly chick transformed into a little girl the size of a palm.

The little girl was like a dancing flame, full of agility, with a slender figure, as if a gentle breeze could lift her up.

She exuded an innate nobility and elegance; her skin was fair and delicate, with a faint blush, as if she were enveloped in flames, radiating a gentle glow.

Her hair was like a burning flame, light and flowing, each strand carrying the agility of fire, dancing in the wind like a fire sprite leaping in the air.

What is most striking are those ruby-like eyes, sparkling with a fiery light, possessing both childlike innocence and an ancient depth.

Qin Yu was shocked. Just because of the Empress Dowager's two angry words, the Ugly Chick had really transformed?!

and……

Did she misunderstand something?
Her slender figure has one particularly unreasonable feature!
What is that bulging bag trying to prove?
"what?"

The Empress Dowager let out a soft exclamation, somewhat surprised.

Something's not right with this little thing!

When I first saw her, she had just been born. How could her cultivation level have increased so quickly in such a short time?

How could one transform into human form before even surviving a sleepy infancy?
The Empress Dowager looked at Qin Yu thoughtfully.

In Xiangrui's eyes, he was completely different from other males. Qin Yu looked like a radiant sun, and being around him gave one a warm, comfortable, and reassuring feeling.

This must be why the little thing likes to get close to Qin Yu so much, and even takes the initiative to be affectionate, right?

However, the little thing obviously couldn't maintain its transformed state for long. In just a few breaths, the light on its body dissipated, and it returned to its previous appearance.

The Empress Dowager looked at the ugly chick that seemed to be tired and buried its head in Qin Yu's arms with a wary gaze.

We must keep a close eye on it from now on and never let her succeed!
The Empress Dowager could sense that this guy not only had bloodlines no less than her own, but more importantly, he could grasp the key points even when he transformed!
She couldn't even imagine that Qin Yu would look at that little thing with the same burning gaze she usually had for her...

No no no!

can not do this.

Ugh.

How could her poor little Ling'er have so many competitors around her?

Can Xiao Ling'er really protect Qin Yu all by herself?

It's pitiful that she usually likes that little fox and this little creature so much, little did she know that the two of them are the most dangerous!
……

Inside the dark ancient temple.

It was deathly quiet inside, not even sunlight could get in, and there was no sign of life.

At the head of the hall, shrouded in black mist, a towering figure could be vaguely seen sitting there. His deep pupils were like the eyes of a demon from the abyss, and wherever his gaze fell, all the figures in the hall lowered their heads, not daring to meet his eyes.

"How is the situation in Great Chu?"

A chilling voice slowly echoed within the hall.

"Reporting to my lord, everything in the other regions is proceeding according to plan, however..."

A figure in black robes stepped forward and said respectfully.

The next moment, he seemed to feel a pair of indifferent gazes fall on him, and he felt the pressure increase, breaking out in a cold sweat.

"The two envoys from the Cangsha Palace have already perished."

After he finished speaking, the entire hall fell silent.

"It must have been the Chu Emperor who made the move?" The voice of the figure at the head of the table remained indifferent, seemingly unsurprised.

The emperors of the various immortal kingdoms are all at the half-saint level; it's impossible for them to be completely unaware of the plan's progress.

The fact that the Chu Emperor discovered them and that there were casualties was within his expectations.

"How is the situation at Cangsha Palace?"

His indifferent voice carried a hint of amusement.

"Before their deaths, the two envoys severely injured Liu, the Grand Master of Great Chu, leaving him powerless to repair the ancient formation..."

The man in the black robe paused at this point.

"go on."

The figure at the head of the table seemed to sense something was amiss, and his voice turned a few degrees colder, but he still managed to remain calm.

The half-Emperor is indeed powerful, but their plan is not to confront them head-on, but to gradually devour the entire Immortal Kingdom!

Once the ancient formation is destroyed and the malevolent energy is released, even a half-saint will be powerless and can only watch helplessly as the immortal kingdom suffers a catastrophe.

The man in black robes trembled and fell to his knees with a thud.

Under the cold gaze, he was already drenched in cold sweat beneath his black robe.

"Your subordinate has investigated and found that the ancient formation of Cangsha Palace is intact and there is no sign of any malevolent energy..."

The man in black robes trembled violently, yet dared not conceal it.

"impossible!"

Black energy surged, and the figure at the head of the table suddenly stood up, his deep eyes like the gaze of death.

Emperor Chu's strength is extraordinary, but the Black Soul Palace has been planning for a long time and has been secretly eroding the ancient formation for more than ten years. Even a half-saint cannot repair the ancient formation!
The Chu Emperor had the power to kill the two envoys, but the violent surge of energy was irreversible unless he disregarded the cost and used his own power to suppress it.

However, this way, things turned out exactly as he wished.

If we just wait patiently for a while, the Great Chu Immortal Kingdom will be powerless to stop it. At that time, the remaining creatures of the Great Chu Immortal Kingdom will only be able to survive under the protection of the imperial capital's divine artifacts, while the rest of the region will become nourishment for the ghosts of the Black Soul Palace!

"I sensed something near the ancient formation..."

The man in black robes knelt on the ground, his voice trembling slightly with fear: "The aura of the Great Yan Empress."

"Fire Emperor?!"

At the head of the hall, black energy suddenly surged, filling the entire hall with a terrifying sense of oppression. The black-robed figures below were all filled with fear and unease, not daring to even breathe loudly.

The Lord probably didn't expect that the Chu Emperor would actually lower himself to ask other emperors for help.

Where is his dignity and pride as an emperor?

It's the Empress of Great Yan again!

Within the territory of the Great Yan Immortal Kingdom, the Black Soul Palace has already paid too high a price. Repeated setbacks have forced the Black Soul Palace to temporarily suspend its actions against the Great Yan Immortal Kingdom.

However, Emperor Yan did not stop there. He even extended his reach to the Great Chu Immortal Kingdom, thwarting their plans!
This is simply intolerable!
"Is it that little guy again?"

After a long while, the black mist gradually calmed down, and the Lord's voice became more composed. However, the hall was still filled with a suffocating sense of oppression.

"Yes."

The man in black robes did not hesitate and said respectfully.

Inside the main hall, a deathly silence fell.

The purification of malevolent energy and death energy is something that has never happened in this world before, but since the Lord has witnessed it with his own eyes, he naturally has no doubt about it.

As for killing him?

According to intelligence reports, this person has never left the capital of the Great Yan Dynasty alone.

Should we force our way into the capital of the Great Yan Dynasty?

Regardless of whether it can be done, if the Black Soul Palace dares to do so, it will inevitably expose its weaknesses. The Nine Immortal Kingdoms have long harbored resentment towards the Black Soul Palace, and once they have the opportunity, they will spare no effort to take action!

He couldn't bear the consequences.

But, are they really going to let the Great Yan Immortal Kingdom and that kid who has repeatedly thwarted their plans go so easily?

Absolutely impossible!

"The plans within the Great Chu Immortal Kingdom are temporarily shelved; the plans for other immortal kingdoms will continue. Furthermore..."

After pondering for a long time, the Venerable Lord's gaze fell on the figure at the forefront, and he said, "The Great Yan Immortal Kingdom's plan can be brought forward. I will resolve this hidden danger once and for all."

Is Emperor Yan very strong?

Since you insist on protecting that brat, I won't hesitate to deal with you all at once!
……

In the natal space.

"Brother Qin Yu!"

Upon seeing Qin Yu return, a glint of light immediately appeared in Tu Jiujiu's beautiful eyes. Her petite and exquisite body leaped towards him and threw herself directly into his arms.

The beautiful clan leader watched helplessly as the little fox was flattened, wishing she could grab her and pull her back.

How shameless!
How can a young lady like you so casually throw herself into someone's arms?
Besides, didn't you see that human's tail was sticking up?
However, with Qin Yu's several Daoist partners present and Xiao Ling'er also by her side, the beautiful clan leader could only suppress her displeasure and watch silently.

If it weren't for Tu Jiujiu's improved cultivation, she would never have allowed such behavior to happen.

Whether Qin Yu was deliberately provoking her or not, seeing that the beautiful clan leader did not stop her, she actually put one arm around Tu Jiujiu's slender waist and let her hang on her body.

"Jiu Jiu, watch your temper!"

Seeing that Tu Jiujiu was almost sitting on it, the beautiful clan leader could no longer remain calm and scolded her.

However, the little fox, after thinking for a long time, seemed not to hear her scolding, but only felt that Brother Qin Yu seemed to be hiding a weapon on his body again.

However, since Brother Qin Yu wouldn't hurt her, Tu Jiujiu didn't mind at all.

"Jiujiu, your older sister is calling you."

Qin Yu looked at the girl in his arms, a slight smile playing on his lips.

Tu Jiujiu was originally extremely beautiful, but she was a little naive. However, her allure was already evident, which gave her a kind of pure yet seductive charm. While people liked her, they also felt a sense of guilt because of her naivety.

They are both lovable and pitiful.

The most crucial element is her innate allure, which can easily ignite a fire in people's hearts.

Its warm, jade-like texture and delicate, smooth feel made Qin Yu completely captivated.

hateful!

Seeing Qin Yu's gaze growing increasingly intense, the beautiful clan leader could barely restrain himself and stepped forward to pull the little fox out of his arms.

If this continues, the little fox will be completely devoured before Qin Yu even has to run to her in the middle of the night.

Then all that time I've spent enduring hardship and submitting to fate for the future of the Qingqiu Fox Clan... hasn't it all been for nothing?

Does this guy not need to cultivate?
It's really incomprehensible. He clearly survived the Heavenly Tribulation, but the Beauty Clan Chief has never seen him cultivate seriously. It's such a waste of his talent!

Finally, the beautiful clan leader couldn't bear to watch any longer and turned away.

The cheerful laughter of the girls filled the space.

Hearing Tu Jiujiu's cheerful voice, the beautiful clan leader's tense body relaxed slightly.

Anyway, since Xiao Ling'er is still here, and given Qin Yu's respect for the Great Yan royal family, she certainly wouldn't do anything too outrageous in front of this princess.

As for the little fox's contact with him...

Since it's not the first time, as long as we're not alone together, let's just pretend we didn't see it!
