Fairy, listen to my explanation.

Chapter 608 Was he doing this on purpose?!

Since her first tribulation, the Empress would suppress her senses every time she came into contact with Qin Yu.

but……

Qin Yu's strange behavior always manages to affect her.

The Empress strongly suspects that this guy did it on purpose!

Sure enough, the moment the Empress regained consciousness, she was betrayed by her own retainer!

So sudden and unexpected.

So...profound.

[Ji Luoxi's emotional value +2]

Despite being undergoing a joyous tribulation, Her Majesty the Empress only provided two points of emotional value.

Qin Yu's expression remained unchanged, but she seemed to have unleashed Hou Yi, the archer who chased the sun... her attack speed was maxed out.

……

Natal Space.

The Empress Dowager was leisurely playing chess with Xiao Ling'er and Tu Jiujiu.

She bit her lip, her jade-like fingers holding a chess piece, but her gaze wasn't on the chessboard; instead, she was observing Xiao Ling'er's expression across from her.

A full incense stick's time passed, and she still hadn't made a move.

It seems to be a test of patience with Xiao Ling'er.

"Your Majesty, why haven't you left yet?"

Tu Jiujiu urged from the side.

With Qin Yu absent, playing chess became their form of entertainment.

Her attitude also shows that the fox from Qingqiu and Xiangrui get along fairly well.

Although this little fox likes to cling to Qin Yu.

The Empress Dowager's opinion of her was far better than that of Tu Yaoyao.

"How can you rush when playing chess?"

The Empress Dowager's eyes widened, as if to say, "You don't understand chess."

Qin Yu taught her this!

I was just trying to spare a bit of my attention to look at the outside world...

"Um?!"

What's going on?!
Since the Empress Dowager entered her natal space, she has never encountered a situation where she could not see the outside world.

My instinct was that Qin Yu was in danger.

She stood up abruptly, and even Tu Yaoyao, who was by the waterfall, glanced in their direction.

"Why can't I see outside?"

The Empress Dowager seemed very anxious, but one sentence put Xiao Ling'er and the others at ease.

It wasn't until Tu Jiujiu explained that she understood what was going on.

"It was like this before..."

Thinking back to just now, everything was already resolved, and the Empress and Qin Yu were on their way back. What could possibly happen to them?

Is it...

The Empress Dowager seemed to understand something and immediately looked at Xiao Ling'er.

Her eyes held a complex expression.

Poor little Ling'er.

He probably has no idea what his loved one is going through outside!
However, considering her own situation, her gaze became somewhat evasive.

Then she started to worry again: what if she and the Empress got pregnant?

Oh, how melancholy!

He even lost the will to play chess.

Time in her natal space is different from that in the outside world. Although the Empress Dowager has come out of her guilt, she still occasionally looks for the entrance.

"Why does it take so long? Won't it overflow? That would be a waste..."

She was still muttering to herself.

Shameful waste.

However, considering that the Empress could only spend some time with Qin Yu under this pretext, she didn't dwell on it too much. It's just that she hadn't been close to Qin Yu for a while…

The Empress Dowager misses her very much.

……

imperial capital.

Chu Muyin hung up the telepathic message, somewhat lost in thought.

She stood alone by the window, letting the breeze tousle her hair, her beautiful face clouded with sorrow and a sense of loss.

"your Highness."

Looking at her little niece who had been standing there all morning, Chu Liuya finally couldn't help but call out softly.

Chu Muyin snapped out of her daze, brushed a strand of hair from her temple, turned around, and forced a smile.

However, a hint of worry still lingered between his brows.

"Auntie, what should I do?"

Chu Muyin knew she couldn't hide it from her aunt, so she simply sighed and asked directly.

Chu Liuya didn't know how to comfort people, nor could she, like the Empress Dowager, soothe the princess by pulling her into the phoenix when they disagreed.

She heard her niece's telepathic communication with her brother and understood why the Emperor of Chu wanted Chu Muyin to give up.

All of this was because her elder brother found out about her relationship with Qin Yu…

"You don't want to go back?"

Chu Liuya took a deep breath, suppressing her complex emotions, and asked in a gentle tone.

However, as the leader of the Chu Guard, even though she was very careful, her voice still sounded somewhat cold and lacked warmth.

Chu Muyin knew her aunt's personality and didn't care about that tone; she simply nodded sadly.

"In that case, let's stay in the capital of the Great Yan Empire for a while longer."

Chu Liuya sighed softly.

She couldn't possibly do something like taking and robbing, and then sending her niece back home afterward.

"But my father told me to give it up..."

Chu Muyin lowered her head, and the light in her clear, beautiful eyes dimmed considerably.

Chu Liuya ultimately didn't say anything to persuade her to give up.

Actually, if she could, she... didn't seem so resistant, since that guy had so many cultivation partners anyway. But her little niece was so delicate, how could she possibly withstand it?

Don't blame your aunt...

Auntie is doing this for your own good!

“Jiang Yun and her father have arrived in the capital of the Great Yan Dynasty. You can go and talk to her.”

Chu Liuya gently patted Chu Muyin's back to comfort her.

Staying here all day, Chu Muyin will probably find it hard to get over it. Perhaps a different approach could change her mood.

"Jiang Yun? What's she doing in the capital of the Great Yan Dynasty?"

Chu Muyin was stunned, somewhat incredulous.

"Like the Bai family, the Jiang family has businesses in various immortal kingdoms. Her father intends for her to manage the Jiang family's businesses, so naturally he needs to let her go to the capitals of various immortal kingdoms to familiarize herself with them first."

Chu Liuya said calmly.

The ancient Jiang family has a close relationship with the Great Chu Immortal Kingdom, and Jiang Yun is one of Chu Muyin's few good friends.

Unlike the Bai family's Xiaoyao Pavilion, the Jiang family's businesses in various immortal kingdoms are mainly auction houses.

Among the various immortal kingdoms, apart from the forces deliberately supported by the royal families of the immortal kingdoms, the most popular is the Jiang family's Jubaoge auction house.

Jubaoge.

Located in the central area of ​​the imperial city, it is only one street away from Xiaoyao Pavilion.

In front of the Treasure Pavilion stood eight powerful guards, clad in the Jiang family's unique "Mysterious Crystal Scale Armor," each scale engraved with ancient array patterns, exuding a chilling aura that made them unapproachable.

At this moment, the gilded gates of the venue were wide open, and one could vaguely see a sea of ​​people inside. Even outside the gates, long queues formed, with cultivators from all walks of life standing shoulder to shoulder, their auras intertwining like a vast ocean.

Although there was still some time before the auction, the luxurious and grand auction hall was already packed with people.

Inside the various private rooms, figures were numerous, clearly indicating that almost all the influential forces in the capital of the Great Yan Empire had sent their high-ranking officials.

It's clear that the Jiang family must have brought out something really good; an ordinary auction wouldn't have attracted so many cultivators.
