Fairy, listen to my explanation.

Chapter 748 Think it through before you speak
Qin Yu's gaze fell on the beautiful figure. The latter's cool and aloof face shone brightly in the sunlight. Her eyes were like cold stars, her nose was high and delicate, and her slightly pursed lips revealed a hint of stubbornness.

At this moment, her fair cheeks flushed slightly due to her emotional fluctuations, like a scarlet epiphyllum suddenly blooming on an icy plain, breathtakingly beautiful, otherworldly.

Her flowing hair swayed gently in the wind, with a few strands falling over her shoulders, making her skin appear as smooth and lustrous as jade. Her clear, cool eyes held a complex mix of emotions: resentment, shame, and a resolute determination.

Her jawline was taut, exuding an air of unyielding pride that perfectly concealed her feminine vulnerability. Yet, when their eyes met, her slightly trembling eyelashes betrayed her inner struggle.

Looking at the female demon before her, Qin Yu suddenly felt that she was more vivid and attractive than usual. At this moment, she seemed to no longer be the cold and ruthless female demon, but a woman with flesh and blood who could be angry and submissive.

"What? Are you afraid I'll make unreasonable demands?"

Qin Yu put away her teasing intentions and asked with a half-smile.

"Speak freely, but if you cross my bottom line, I would rather destroy my cultivation than compromise."

Zhou Qingtong's voice remained cold and clear, with a barely perceptible tremor at the end, like an undercurrent beneath the ice, ready to break free and erupt at any moment.

"Oh? The bottom line?"

Upon hearing this, a hint of amusement flashed in Qin Yu's eyes. She deliberately dragged out her words and said, "I wonder what Miss Zhou's bottom line is? Why don't you tell me, lest I accidentally cross the line."

As soon as she finished speaking, Qin Yu walked up to her side, leaned down slightly, and whispered in her ear with a hint of teasing, "Are you afraid I'll make you repay me with your body, or are you afraid you'll end up like Qingyue, calling me 'brother'?"

Zhou Qingtong's eyes flickered, a cold glint flashing within them. She almost couldn't resist attacking, but she reacted instantly, took a deep breath, suppressed her embarrassment and anger, and coldly said, "Boring."

She could tell that Qin Yu was toying with her. Of course, the most important thing was that even if she made a move, she wouldn't gain any advantage. On the contrary, she would most likely be humiliated, just like before.

Qin Yu was somewhat surprised that this female demon could hold back. If she didn't make a move, he couldn't be too unreasonable and just take her down, could he?

"It's boring."

Qin Yu straightened up, shook her head, and looked somewhat regretful.

"Wait a minute!"

Seeing Qin Yu turn to leave, Zhou Qingtong couldn't help but stand up and ask.

You took the initiative to speak up, and all you got in return were a few sarcastic remarks?

“Miss Zhou has already said she has a bottom line, I can’t force her to do something she doesn’t want to do, can I?”

Qin Yu shrugged and said helplessly.

"You, don't even dream about it!"

Zhou Qingtong's expression changed slightly, and her outstretched hand froze in mid-air.

Whether it's wishful thinking or not, we'll only know in the future.

Qin Yu shook her head, no longer intending to continue the conversation: "Since you have such backbone, why do you need to beg me? You can study it yourself slowly."

You know perfectly well that I had no other choice!

Seeing Qin Yu about to walk out, Zhou Qingtong couldn't help but call out.

"If one day you figure it out yourself and sincerely ask me for help, then we can talk about this matter again."

Qin Yu paused, then said.

"What do you mean?"

Zhou Qingtong's expression darkened slightly.

"Miss Zhou, you don't think it's that simple to resolve the malevolent energy in your Great Dao Staircase, do you?"

Qin Yu smiled and said.

"You, stop!"

Zhou Qingtong's pupils contracted, as if she understood something.

Although Qin Yu still had her back to her, a smile unconsciously appeared on her lips.

The fish is hooked.

"Are you really sure?"

When Zhou Qingtong asked the question, her body trembled slightly. Clearly, she had understood the meaning behind Qin Yu's words.

"Sorry, I haven't tried it either."

Qin Yu turned around but did not give a definite answer.

"Then you still say it!"

Zhou Qingtong felt a surge of heat; she was almost ready to pay any price, only to receive this reply in return.
Do you still have a choice?

Qin Yu looked directly at the other person and asked calmly.

"I……"

Zhou Qingtong was speechless for a moment.

Yes, do we even have a choice?
Even the Lord of the Palace was helpless against her malevolent aura; otherwise, he would have already appeared to help her.

Qin Yu had already cleared the resentment from her body twice, which was far beyond her comprehension.

Zhou Qingtong couldn't think of any other way but to choose to believe him.

"Call me again when you've thought it through. Remember, don't continue cultivating recently, otherwise, the punishment next time I help you won't be so simple."

Qin Yu glanced at Zhou Qingtong but did not force her to make a choice.

The latter was a smart man and already understood what he meant.

However, given Zhou Qingtong's personality, how could she possibly choose to submit to someone?

What's more, the other party was a cultivator from the Immortal Kingdom Continent, whom she had always been prejudiced against.

"Oh!"

As the door closed, Zhou Qingtong froze on the spot.

She paid no attention to Qin Yu's threats.

After all, these two encounters were already excessive. Even if they were more excessive, how far could they go?
What she was considering was Qin Yu's conditions.

It's not hard to tell from his attitude that if he wants to cure her completely, he'll probably have to cross her bottom line, and he's not entirely confident about that.

Time flies.

By the time Zhou Qingtong came to her senses, it was already dark outside, and the courtyard was completely silent.

"Qingyue!"

Zhou Qingtong sensed something and was shocked to realize that her younger sister had left the courtyard sometime earlier and had not returned by this time.

Perhaps because she had witnessed Qin Yu's true nature firsthand, Zhou Qingtong felt a strong sense of unease.

Could this guy be planning to take Su Qingyue to spend the night at the Emperor's Mansion?

How can this work!
Thinking of that guy's shameless side, Zhou Qingtong could no longer help but push open the door and go out.

My sister is so naive, and she likes to stick close to that guy. If she really spends the night with him, who knows what will happen!
She absolutely could not allow Qin Yu to bully her younger sister.

"Senior Zhou, the Emperor has gone to Nine Swords City and is not in the manor."

Upon arriving at the entrance of the Emperor's Mansion, two Heavenly Palace guards bowed slightly and said...

"Not at home?"

Zhou Qingtong's heart skipped a beat, and the unease intensified.

Judging by the time of day, my younger sister must be feeling sleepy, right?
Could she be with Qin Yu right now...?

no, I can not!
No matter how innocent a younger sister may be, she should at least have a basic sense of boundaries, right?

Zhou Qingtong kept comforting herself, but whenever she thought of the girl clinging to Qin Yu, she became more and more uneasy.

Given Qin Yu's personality, how could she possibly resist the charm of the fairy-eyed girl?
If something were to actually happen, the consequences would be unimaginable!
