Fairy, listen to my explanation.

Chapter 564 Just a hug, nothing else
Last time, Qin Yu spent a month making the withered branches of the ancestral tree moist, allowing her to sense the possibility of life.

This time, in another month, the ancestral tree's withered branches not only became moist, but even sprouted a bud!
Full of vitality!

This is simply unbelievable!
"You really did it."

The Flower Fairy looked at Qin Yu again, her beautiful eyes shining brightly, no longer showing her previous indifference.

"I've said it before, I've made great progress, but the fairy doesn't want to see it."

Qin Yu was somewhat innocent; he had come to see the Flower Fairy after his natal space was upgraded to the fourth level.

"I……"

The flower fairy was speechless for a moment, and felt somewhat apologetic.

Did I misunderstand Qin Yu again?

No, why is it called "again"?

The first time, she was not wrong at all. This guy had indeed offended her, and he really had seen everything.

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

Perhaps, before the ancestral tree completely dries up, the Qin fish can truly bring life back to it!

"Does the promise you made earlier still stand?"

Qin Yu gently rubbed her fingers; when she had just wiped his pretty face, a lingering, intoxicating fragrance remained on her hands.

"Shh!"

Upon hearing this, the Flower Fairy's previously excited expression suddenly turned awkward.

Yes!

She had indeed considered it; if Qin Yu could really do that, she would even let him get closer, just to hold his hand…

I should be able to accept it.

However, when the time actually came, the Flower Fairy found herself unable to do it.

After he touched her wrist last time, she washed it for a long time until her hands were red.

Qin Yu noticed the flower fairy's shyness but didn't mind. She reached out and took the delicate, flower-like hand in hers.

The warmth from her hand made the flower fairy somewhat flustered, her emotions rising and falling.

At this moment, her cheeks were flushed, her eyes were full of shyness and unnatural avoidance, and her other hand unconsciously clutched the hem of her skirt, trying to resist this sudden contact.

However, thinking of the promise she had made, she couldn't refuse.

Although a month had passed, the changes in the withered branches of the ancestral tree shocked her greatly, and the faint hope in her heart grew much stronger.

Perhaps, just as the ancestral god prophesied, this person before us can truly bring the ancestral tree back to life!
The flower fairy was unwilling to have contact with the opposite sex, but the thought of this hope forced her to suppress her inner resistance.

However, after a long while, Qin Yu still showed no sign of letting go.

Her hands were almost red from being stroked.

"Is it enough?"

The flower fairy parted her lips slightly, her voice as melodious as a nightingale's, yet carrying a hint of undisguised panic. She turned her body slightly to the side, petals fluttering around her as she tried to use them to cover her slightly flushed cheeks.

"Could this be what the fairy promised?"

However, Qin Yu's burning gaze pierced through the fluttering petals, leaving her nowhere to hide.

"what?"

The flower fairy was taken aback.

What else does he want?
"That's not enough."

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

Since that's the case, let's go even further.

If one always maintains a sense of awe towards the holy and noble elven princess, there is no possibility of taking things further; the only way is to repeatedly cross her bottom line...

"If you are unwilling, fairy, you may speak at any time, and I will not force you."

Qin Yu exerted a little force with her palm, and a stunningly beautiful face, as beautiful as the moon and as beautiful as flowers, emerged from the petals. Her warm, jade-like, soft, and sweet body, carrying a captivating floral fragrance, wafted towards her.

The flower fairy's pretty face showed an undisguised panic and shyness. Instinctively, she stretched out her palm to shield herself and avoid such contact.

She was a noble elven princess who never imagined she would have physical contact with a human of the opposite sex.

Touching her palm was already her limit.

Embracing each other?

Even just thinking about it makes it hard for her to accept!

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

Qin Yu returned to normal, displaying an indifferent attitude.

To be honest, it's impossible not to be moved by a flower fairy who is as beautiful as a fish and a goose, especially since he has seen the flower fairy at her most beautiful and knows how charming she is.

Like peach blossoms covered in dew in spring.

Who could refuse?
However, resorting to force alone is not an option.

It might even backfire.

Upon hearing this, the flower fairy's pretty face changed slightly.

She could tell that Qin Yu wasn't joking.

Originally, she should have been relieved that the other party had given up, but for some reason, she felt empty inside, and even a little... panicked?
What does it mean?
From their very first encounter, this guy had already left a mark on her mind as a thief, and she didn't think Qin Yu was really willing to give up so easily.

After all, he hasn't let go of her hand yet.

Play hard to get?

The flower fairy gently bit her lip.

Even knowing this, she dared not gamble with the future of the elves. What if Qin Yu got angry and abandoned them altogether?

Will there ever be another person in this world who can save the ancient tree?
The flower fairy wanted to turn around and leave, but her feet seemed to be pulled by invisible threads, making it impossible for her to move. She resisted in her heart, yet struggled and hesitated.

"I can only... hug... for a... while."

In the end, the flower fairy gave in, her slightly trembling voice revealing her inner turmoil.

Qin Yu's lips curled into a barely perceptible smile as she subtly increased the pressure in her hand, completely pulling the graceful body into her embrace.

The moment their bodies touched, it was as if he had embraced the entire vibrant spring.

The flower fairy was surrounded by a faint fragrance, a perfect blend of nature and freshness. The elegant scent gently lingered around his nose, making him involuntarily intoxicated.

An indescribable peace and contentment slowly flowed through his heart.

Qin Yu unconsciously relaxed, his arms tightly protecting her in his embrace. This feeling was pure and profound, making him reluctant to let go.

Through the thin clothing, Qin Yu could even feel the Flower Fairy's gentle yet tense breathing; each rise and fall made his heart flutter.

At this moment, time seemed to stand still in the courtyard, shutting out the hustle and bustle of the outside world. Even the blooming flowers seemed to shyly close their petals.

The flower fairy's exquisite face rested gently against his strong chest, the warmth of which seemed to ignite her.

She felt her cheeks burning.

She could only close her eyes nervously, her delicate body tense, unsure of where to put her hands.

Fortunately, although Qin Yu hugged herself tightly, she did not do anything more outrageous. She could even feel the tenderness and affection in the other person's eyes.

As a noble fairy princess, the flower fairy had never seen such emotions in anyone else's eyes, and she didn't need this guy's pity.

However, to be honest...

This silver thief's embrace... seems pretty good?

That feeling was hard to describe in words, but it gave her a sense of security.

She had forgotten how long it had been since she had felt this way.

So, the flower fairy didn't put up a fierce resistance; instead, she seemed somewhat... compliant?
It has come to this anyway.

but……

This peaceful coexistence did not last long, and the flower fairy soon sensed something was amiss.

This guy's...tail!
Not honest!

"Is it enough?"

The Flower Fairy's voice trembled slightly. Although she was trying her best to remain calm, her eyes were like the surface of a lake under the moon, rippling with emotion.

At this moment, she no longer seemed like the aloof elven princess, but just a frightened young girl.

"not enough."

Qin Yu was still immersed in the enchanting fragrance of the flowers when she heard the Flower Fairy's voice. She then came back to her senses and placed her hand, which had been behind her back, on the slender waist that could be encircled by one hand.

The flower fairy's body was like a perfect work of art, every curve was just right, and her slender waist was irresistible.

"That's it!"

"That's enough for now..."

The flower fairy trembled and couldn't help but push him away forcefully, her panicked voice revealing a cold and resolute tone.

"Pity!"

Qin Yu sighed softly to himself, the sensation from his fingertips still lingering in his memory.

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

Although Qin Yu showed hope for the revival of the Ancestral Tree, this could not overshadow the fact that he was a silver thief!
Can't you see he's already starting to wag his tail?

So unrestrained, even somewhat... swaggering.

The flower fairy wished she could summon thorny vines and whip him a hundred times to teach him the consequences of blaspheming the fairy princess.

"Fairy, may I tell you about the ancestral tree of the elves?"

Qin Yu didn't force her. To be honest, he was already surprised that the Flower Fairy could be held quietly by him for so long.

The flower fairy originally wanted to find a reason to let him leave first, but upon hearing this, she could only patiently sit down. With a sway of her skirt, a pair of fair and delicate jade feet were presented to Qin Yu.

"Nowadays, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is becoming increasingly scarce, and the condition of the ancestral tree is also deteriorating..."

The flower fairy wanted to cover her feet with petals, but thinking of the changes in the withered branches of the ancestral tree, she ultimately refrained from doing so.

Let's just consider it a little treat for him.

It was just a glance, just like this guy said, anyway, the two of them had already been completely honest with each other.

Just thinking about that scene...

The flower fairy felt unbearably ashamed!
At the time, that's not what I really meant.

At that time, she had already given up hope, but when she suddenly saw the change in the withered branches, she was so excited that she felt she could give anything for this glimmer of hope.

That's why that accident happened.

"Fairy, are you okay?"

Upon seeing the Flower Fairy pause, a blush inexplicably rose on her pretty face, leaving Qin Yu somewhat puzzled.

Heaven and earth conscience.

This time, I didn't do anything!
"I, I'm fine."

The flower fairy snapped out of her daze, took a deep breath, and prepared to continue talking about the ancestral tree.

"Fairy, you must be too worried about the ancestral tree. Why don't I help you... relax a bit?"

Qin Yu shook her head and made a well-intentioned suggestion.
