Fairy, listen to my explanation.

Chapter 761 Holding a grudge?

"Oh?"

The Empress lowered her eyes slightly, her fingertips lightly tapping the back of the chair, her gaze seemingly casually fixed on Qin Yu.

Knowing this guy as she did, if he really did it, Qin Yu definitely wouldn't act like this.

However, she could see that Su Qingyue was having trouble speaking and that there was an unusual feeling in her cheeks.

"Your Majesty, it might be due to the Holy Body of Spiritual Communication..."

"A psychic holy body? Isn't she supposed to have psychic immortal eyes?"

The Empress raised an eyebrow slightly, as if she had guessed something.

Has the resentment within Zhou Qingtong been purified?

The empress asked calmly.

"It should be almost done."

Qin Yu did not lie to the Empress.

He could also tell that the Empress wouldn't be angry about this.

After all, it was she who took the initiative to mention to Zhou Qingtong that she had the ability to resolve anger.

"Humph."

The Empress let out a cold snort.

While I'm on the front lines fighting against the alien overlord, this guy is making sure there's no peace for a moment.

"Your Majesty, may I examine your injuries?"

Qin Yu waited for a while, and seeing that the Empress showed no sign of anger, she braced herself and asked.

The empress neither replied nor refused.

Seeing this, Qin Yu stepped forward, walked behind the Empress, and smelled the magical Daoist fragrance on the Empress's body. Then she raised her hands and gently placed them on the Empress's fragrant shoulders.

"Hmm~"

As Qin Yu skillfully kneaded, at this moment, the Empress seemed to shed her imperial majesty, her eyes narrowed slightly, and she uttered a soft sound.

"Your Majesty, is this force appropriate?"

"Your Majesty, this robe is tainted with a malevolent aura. Perhaps we should remove it?"

"..."

Qin Yu never dreamed that the Empress would not mind at all while Xiao Ling'er and the others were still outside.

It seems that this trip to the Dark Prison Realm has caused some changes in the Empress's state of mind.

Perhaps realizing her own shortcomings and feeling a strong sense of crisis, the Empress disregarded other trivial matters.

"Your Majesty, has the alien ruler retreated?"

Qin Yu lay on her side, her arms filled with warmth as smooth as jade.

"Something has happened elsewhere, which should be the work of the Qin Emperor. The four alien rulers have temporarily left."

The Empress said calmly.

"Emperor Qin?"

Qin Yu's expression changed slightly, and her hands paused for a moment.

"What? You're still holding a grudge against him?"

The Empress noticed Qin Yu's change and asked curiously.

"I wouldn't say I hold a grudge."

Qin Yu shook her head. She did have some opinions about Emperor Qin. However, the latter, as the Emperor of the Human Race, had entered the Dark Prison Realm after reaching the Venerable Realm and had not returned since.

"I just feel like there's something strange about him."

"Oh?"

A hint of surprise flashed in the Empress's eyes, but her expression returned to its usual indifference and majesty.

Qin Yu leaned down, gazing at that inviolable face, and felt a moment of disorientation, as if she were in a dream.

A being as beautiful and sacred as the goddess Luo, lying in one's arms like a little woman—who wouldn't be confused?
"The Venerable Realm is indeed powerful, but Emperor Qin has only recently broken through. How did he manage to escape the search of the alien ruler?"

Qin Yu composed herself to avoid losing her composure.

He dared not be too offensive when discussing this issue.

"Perhaps he has a secret that others don't know."

The Empress said calmly.

He was able to successfully overcome the Tribulation of the Venerable One and achieve the position of Heavenly Venerable all by his own strength. The power of the Qin Emperor is beyond doubt, and it is reasonable that he has some extraordinary trump cards.

"His Majesty……"

Qin Yu was about to offer a reminder, but the words caught in her throat, and she swallowed them back down.

"how?"

The Empress tilted her head back slightly and leaned back.

"hiss!"

Qin Yu trembled, utterly incredulous. This was the incomparably majestic Empress she remembered.

"If Your Majesty encounters the Qin Emperor, you must not be careless."

Qin Yu gritted her teeth and gave a reminder.

Faced with such a righteous Empress, he should naturally contribute his own strength to reward her for her contributions to the human race.

Without the Empress's presence, Nine Swords City would likely have been trampled by the alien rulers long ago.

After receiving a surge of warmth, the Empress's complexion improved considerably, and she exuded an aura of majesty that made people afraid to look directly at her.

Qin Yu wisely withdrew.

"The Qin Emperor..."

The palace was quiet.

The Empress murmured something to herself, her brows furrowing slightly.

She wasn't worried that seeing the Qin Emperor again would trigger a war between human emperors; it was just that Qin Yu's mention of it reminded her of some details she hadn't paid attention to before.

The Qin Emperor was ruthless and decisive. Wherever he went, alien races and powerful evil cultivators perished. His methods terrified countless alien races.

However, the Empress once walked in the direction indicated by Chief Sword.

Along the way, not even a single corpse of a half-saint realm alien race was seen. From the remaining imperial might on the ground, it was not difficult to tell that no other alien race powerhouses had approached this place.

Why is there not even a trace left behind when a half-saint realm expert dies?

The Empress keenly sensed that the Emperor of Qin was acting strangely.

……

"Did the Emperor summon you to discuss matters concerning the Dark Prison Realm?"

As night fell, Zhou Qingtong saw the door open and her heart clenched, but she remained calm and composed.

"Why don't you just ask yourself?"

Qin Yu gestured.

Zhou Qingtong gave him a cold glance. If she hadn't wanted to clear away the malevolent energy within the Great Dao Staircase as quickly as possible, she would have been eager to go to the Holy Heaven Academy to ask the academy master about it upon seeing the Empress's return.

"The ruler of the Dark Prison Realm has temporarily retreated, but the alien army has not gone too far."

Qin Yu casually mentioned the matter that the Empress had brought up.

Given Zhou Qingtong's personality, if she hadn't been corrupted by resentment, she would have already run off to the Dark Prison Realm.

Telling her this good news might give her some peace of mind for a while.

"The alien rulers are each unwilling to submit to the other, making it difficult to reach a consensus."

Zhou Qingtong nodded, pondered for a moment, and said, "Now is the best time for our human race to train its troops. Sword Master and the others should also lead their armies to take the initiative..."

"Don't think about this anymore. Just stay here and wait until you break through to the Half-Saint Realm before we talk about it."

Qin Yu glanced at the female demon radiating battle intent and said coldly.

"Why? Do you think I can't handle a half-saint from another race?"

Zhou Qingtong frowned and snorted coldly.

"So what if you can handle it? You want to come back injured and waste our resources?"

Qin Yu rolled her eyes.

As expected of a female Asura, she always wants to run off to the Dark Prison Realm.

It seems I should slow down my cultivation speed to avoid her giving away her cultivation points again.

The allure of the Human Emperor's bloodline for powerful alien races is likely limited to human emperors.

Qin Yu had no doubt that once Zhou Qingtong stepped into the Dark Prison Realm, she would attract the ruler of the Dark Prison Realm.

"you……"

Zhou Qingtong paused, recalling what she had said before, but found herself unable to refute it.
