Fairy, listen to my explanation.

Chapter 729 She is sick
"What do you mean by this?"

Zhou Qingtong stared directly at the man in front of her, her battle skirt billowing slightly, and the bone whip at her waist seemed ready to spring up at any moment.

"Aren't you injured?"

Qin Yu stopped in her tracks, recalling her interactions with this female demon, and realized that she had never done anything disrespectful.

How could she have assumed I was a bad person from the very first meeting?

It's really puzzling.

“Your Majesty, if it is necessary to contact him, Qingtong would rather stay where she is now.”

Zhou Qingtong's expression changed several times, but finally she braced herself, bowed to the Empress, and said...

What's wrong with contacting me?
Qin Yu was completely bewildered. This woman was utterly ungrateful!
The Empress was also somewhat surprised. Many female cultivators would kill for such an opportunity, yet you just turned it away like that?
"Your Majesty, how about we call it quits?"

Qin Yu spoke up.

To be honest, since he went back last time, he did indeed have Chu Liuya change her hair to short hair and wield a bone whip...

However, he was unwilling to flatter others.

Looking at him like this, anyone who didn't know better would think he was forcing himself to get injections to treat his illness.

When Qin Yu spoke, Zhou Qingtong's heart sank.

Could it be that the Great Yan Emperor was referring to this guy?
Did she actually guess right?
The Empress hesitated for a moment, but ultimately said nothing more.

The reason she took the initiative to ask Qin Yu to help heal her injuries was mainly because Zhou Qingtong's strong personality reminded her of her past self. In addition, Zhou Qingtong was also the companion of the Spirit Eye.

If Zhou Qingtong were to die prematurely, it would have a significant impact on the Spirit Eye.

However, since she was so resistant, the Empress did not force her.

Perhaps, deep down, she wouldn't have wanted to bring this up if it weren't for the greater good.

As the alien rulers retreated, the atmosphere around Nine Swords City gradually eased. The alien army only dared to watch from a hundred miles away, and did not continue to advance recklessly.

The Empress did not linger in the Wugu Domain. After only half a day, she returned to the Tianfu Continent with Qin Yu.

Before those rulers reached a consensus, the situation in the Wugu Domain was temporarily stabilized.

In the courtyard of Shengtian Academy.

Upon seeing Qin Yu return, Su Qingyue's eyes lit up.

Although they had only been separated for a day, without Qin Yu's company, he could only stay in the courtyard except to go fishing with his grandfather, the manor lord.

With no playmates to play chess with and no one to tell her interesting stories, she felt that the whole world was so dull and boring.

"Oh, my sister's back too?"

Su Qingyue quickly stepped forward, only to discover the figure several feet behind her.

"She's sick, it's best not to get close to her to avoid catching the virus."

Qin Yu gestured.

The danger of aggression is no joke.

Although the Empress has temporarily suppressed Zhou Qingtong's malevolent aura, it would be dangerous if they were to have close contact and the aura were to seep into the girl through their physical contact.

"Huh? Really?"

Su Qingyue stopped in her tracks, staring at her sister in shock.

Zhou Qingtong felt a pang of pain in her heart. Was this still the obedient little sister she knew?
In the past, every time I returned from a campaign, she would rush to me like a swallow returning to its nest. But now, because of this guy's alarmist words, she has stopped.

Although she didn't show any sign of rejection, the girl's attitude of valuing Qin Yu even more still made her feel sorry for her.

"Why is my sister sick? Is she injured?" The girl with the fairy eyes was filled with worry, but she obediently stopped beside Qin Yu.

"I am fine."

Zhou Qingtong took a deep breath, suppressing the disappointment in her heart, and said, "Qingyue, be good, your sister is going into seclusion now."

Although Qin Yu's words were unpleasant to hear, he genuinely meant well for Su Qingyue.

The psychic eyes are one of the hopes for the rise of humanity, and she does not want to see anything go wrong with them.

"Brother Qin Yu, what happened to Sister?"

Although Su Qingyue was naive, she sensed that something was wrong with her sister. In her haste, she unconsciously grabbed Qin Yu's hand.

"Didn't she say she's fine? Don't worry too much."

Qin Yu chuckled softly, offering words of comfort.

Not far away, Zhou Qingtong, who had just passed by the two, paused slightly and then turned around.

"Sister, I..."

Seeing her sister looking at her palm, Su Qingyue finally came to her senses and reluctantly let go of her hand.

However, Qin Yu took the latter's soft, boneless hand in return, ignoring Zhou Qingtong's gaze, and led the girl to sit in the elegant pavilion.

Zhou Qingtong opened her mouth, but ultimately said nothing.

Her turning around just now wasn't an intimate gesture from Su Qingyue, but rather, in that instant, a warm feeling inexplicably arose within her, and the restless and agitated energy within her seemed to calm down somewhat.

Where does that feeling come from?

Zhou Qingtong hesitated for a moment, then decided not to look at the two of them at all, so as not to see them being so intimate.

Soon, Zhou Qingtong remembered the last time she came back. She was seriously injured at the time, and Su Qingyue's body was also very weak because of her symbiotic power.

Until I met Qin Yu...

At that time, it seemed like I experienced that warm feeling for the first time.

After that, every time Su Qingyue approached Qin Yu, she would experience this wonderful feeling through her spiritual body.

Zhou Qingtong originally thought that this feeling was due to a young girl's first stirrings of love, which affected her.

However, it seems that things are not as she thought.

After all, even if feelings could feed you, they couldn't suppress resentment, could they?
Watching the two people talking as if no one else was around, Zhou Qingtong returned to her room alone, preferring to stay out of sight of them.

And that warm feeling still lingers.

Zhou Qingtong couldn't understand what kind of ability this was. Suddenly, she remembered the words of Emperor Yan and the emperor's serious attitude, even asking her to swear an oath by blood.

Could it be that the Great Yan Emperor was referring to him?

An ordinary cultivator from a mere immortal continent, who has always followed Emperor Yan around, probably has never even seen blood. What special qualities could such a hothouse flower possess?
However, that strange feeling calmed her anger, but it also made her think more.

Perhaps the Great Yan Emperor wasn't joking; what she said about having another chance to step onto the battlefield in the future might actually be true!

If I can really return to the Dark Prison Realm to fight enemies, what difference would it make if I came into contact with Qin Yu once or twice?

Zhou Qingtong herself didn't realize why she was so resistant to Qin Yu.

Is it simply because the latter is a cultivator from the Immortal Kingdom Continent?
Do not!
Furthermore, during their first encounter, the unusual movement of her bloodline power as the latter approached made her instinctively believe that this guy had ill intentions.

Laughter and cheerful voices filled the courtyard.

Inside the room, Zhou Qingtong's brows were furrowed, and she was caught in a dilemma.
