The Goddess Chronicles: Starting by Holding the Fairy's Fate in His Hands

Half a month passed in the blink of an eye.

Rong Qianqin would run to Lin Yi's room every few days.

But it's always the same.

Her face was frosty, as if it were a routine.

On the contrary, Lin Yi was always very enthusiastic.

This woman has a yin spiritual root; cultivating with her is not only incredibly pleasurable, but it also replenishes yin energy.

No matter how you look at it, he's not at a disadvantage.

Lin Yi tried several times to subtly probe her, hoping to pry out the details of the Land of Absolute Spirits from her.

But this woman's mouth is as tight as if it were locked.

"My husband, just stay in the palace and make sure you serve me well."

Lin Yi smiled on the surface, but inwardly he was cursing: "This woman is too cunning!"

Once, he pretended to chat casually: "Honey, I heard that the seal on the Demon Abyss was set up by an ancient powerful being. Does such a master still have any successors in this place?"

Rong Qianqin paused for a moment. "The lineage was broken long ago."

She turned around, her eyes bright. "What's wrong, husband? Are you interested in formations? Or... shall we think about something more practical?"

Before she could finish speaking, her clothes, which she had just tied, came undone by themselves, silencing Lin Yi.

Lin Yi cursed inwardly, "This woman's way of changing the subject is way too direct!"

He was very close to those young maids in the palace, and Rong Qianqin saw it but pretended not to notice.

Just because she doesn't take it seriously doesn't mean others can tolerate it.

On this day, Lin Yi was giving private instruction to a female disciple named He Sijia in the courtyard.

This girl has a good foundation and is very pretty.

When Lin Yi got to the important parts, he inevitably got closer and personally adjusted her luck.

The two people were very close together.

Just then, an angry shout rang out, "Junior Sister Scarlett! What are you two doing?!"

A handsome man in a brocade robe strode into the courtyard, his eyes piercing like knives.

Lin Yi remained calm and didn't move at all.

He Sijia took a small step back. "Senior Brother Qin Cheng, this is Young Master Lin. He's instructing me on my cultivation."

Seeing the two standing close together, Qin Cheng's eyes blazed with fury: "Ha, so what if he got lucky and climbed the Empress's high branch? What a piece of trash."

Lin Yi didn't even bother to lift his eyelids.

"Qin Cheng! How dare you speak to me like that!"

He Sijia's face darkened. "Quickly apologize to the young master!"

Qin Cheng was glared at by her, and gritted his teeth as he squeezed out, "...I misspoke just now, please don't take offense."

After He Sijia went to practice her martial arts, Qin Cheng approached Lin Yi with a gloomy face: "Lin Yi, the Empress only gave you a title, and you really think you're something special?"

"I'm warning you, stay away from Junior Sister Scarlett, or I'll have my father report you to the Empress, and you won't even be able to hold onto your position as the Prince Consort!"

Lin Yi lazily lifted his eyelids. "Qin Cheng, right? Then let me give you a piece of advice: He Sijia will never look at you."

"You're asking for it!!!"

Qin Cheng was furious and raised his hand to throw a punch!

But in the end, it was abruptly stopped.

At this moment, He Sijia walked over and bowed to Lin Yi, saying, "Thank you for your guidance, young master. I'm going back to my seclusion now."

She glanced at Qin Cheng, then turned and left.

As soon as she left, Qin Cheng completely lost it!

With his Qi Refining Level 12 cultivation, he attacked without saying a word!

"Kneel down!"

Facing the incoming fist, Lin Yi's eyes turned cold, and he raised his hand to deliver a straight punch.

boom!

The two fists collided, and a shockwave exploded outwards!

Qin Cheng was sent flying backward, crashing heavily into a pillar, a trickle of blood seeping from the corner of his mouth.

He unleashed a full-force attack, yet Lin Yi sent him flying with a casual punch?!

The commotion alerted the guards, and a dozen or so guards rushed over.

Qin Cheng staggered to his feet, both shocked and furious: "You madman! How dare you hurt me! Men, seize him!"

The guards looked at each other, one on one side was the Empress's consort, and the other was the Imperial Advisor's son; none of them dared to make a move.

Qin Cheng felt he had lost face badly and was not about to let it go.

His mother was the deputy commander of the Imperial Guard and a confidante of the Empress!

"Lin Yi! I'm not done with you yet!"

He roared and once again mobilized his spiritual power, striking Lin Yi in the back with a palm!

"stop!"

A figure flashed out like a ghost and stood between the two.

With a flick of his sleeve, the man effortlessly deflected Qin Cheng's attack.

The newcomer was none other than the Grand Preceptor of the Women's Kingdom, Qin Cheng's father, Qin Yuanshan!

"father!"

Qin Cheng immediately put on a pitiful expression. "You have to stand up for me! Lin Yi not only verbally insulted me, but he also suddenly attacked and injured me!"

"Oh?" Qin Yuanshan's gaze sharpened. "What exactly happened?"

"Father, is that so!"

Qin Cheng blurted out, "I kindly reminded him that since he is the Empress's husband, he should be more careful with his words and actions and not get too close to Junior Sister Liu."

"Who knew he wouldn't listen, and instead got angry and suddenly hit me!"

As he spoke, he glanced at the guards and palace maids around him out of the corner of his eye.

Seeing the doubt on their faces, he felt secretly pleased.

That's exactly the effect he wanted—to ruin Lin Yi's reputation first!

Sure enough, many people whispered among themselves, "Lin Yi is incredibly audacious! How dare he flirt with other women right under the Empress's nose?"

Lin Yi crossed his arms and watched all this coldly, too lazy to even offer an explanation.

Explaining to this idiot?

Why argue with these prejudiced onlookers?

What a waste of your breath!

The commotion quickly attracted many court officials and palace servants.

A murmur arose from the surrounding crowd:

"I never expected the man the Empress chose to be such a bad person..."

"Exactly! In broad daylight, they're fighting over a woman, and he even beat up the Imperial Advisor's son! What kind of behavior is that!"

Qin Yuanshan's eldest son, Qin Feng, also rushed over, staring at Lin Yi with eyes full of jealousy and hatred.

He had been eyeing the Empress for a long time, but this kid who appeared out of nowhere snatched her away, and he was already seething with hatred.

Lin Yi remained completely unmoved despite being pointed at and talked about by so many people.

Explanation?

That's something only a coward would do.

Qin Yuanshan's face turned ashen.

How could a father not know his eldest son's feelings for the Empress?

Lin Yi ruined everything, how could he not be angry?

He planned to take this opportunity to teach this kid a lesson and, incidentally, sound out the Empress's opinion!

Lin Yi glanced at the Imperial Advisor.

At the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment, he is indeed a notable figure in this desolate place.

But... that's about it.

He curled his lip slightly and slowly began, "Finished?"

The moment those three words were uttered, the surrounding area erupted in chaos!

That's insane!

Qin Feng trembled with rage. "Lin Yi! Do you dare to fight me fair and square?!"

Lin Yi scoffed, "What, another jealous person has gotten jealous?"

These words struck a nerve with Qin Feng. "Fine! Three days from now, at the martial arts arena, I'll duel you!"

Qin Yuanshan took a step forward, his mid-Foundation Establishment aura surging towards Lin Yi like a tidal wave. "Young Master Lin, if you don't give my son an explanation today..."

"Even if His Majesty blames you, I, the Imperial Advisor, will still find a reason to punish you for your tyrannical behavior!"

Lin Yi was about to open his mouth to speak...

"Qin Yuanshan! You have quite the airs!"

A cold shout suddenly rang out.

A tall, voluptuous figure pushed through the crowd and strode over.

The newcomer was dressed in light black armor, which clung to his body, clearly outlining his mature curves.

Her chest was bulging and protruding high beneath the armor plates, and her waist was cinched thin by a belt, as if it would snap at the slightest touch.

She had a long sword hanging at her waist, and her face was pretty. Although there were a few fine lines at the corners of her eyes, they added a touch of languidness that came with experience.

Her phoenix eyes darted around, revealing a captivating allure beneath their cold exterior—the kind of allure only a mature woman possesses.

This woman was none other than He Xiaowei, the nominal mother of Qin Cheng and Qin Feng, the deputy commander of the Imperial Guards, and the confidante of the Empress!

Her gaze swept across the room like a knife, finally settling on Lin Yi.

Seeing that Lin Yi's expression remained unchanged, He Xiaowei felt a strange tremor in her heart.

"mother……"

Qin Cheng shrank back and hid.

"Mother……"

Qin Feng's arrogance also diminished considerably.

"Xiaowei, about this matter..."

Qin Yuanshan was about to interject.

"Shut up! Call me Commander Qin!"

He Xiaowei showed no mercy, retorting directly, "I haven't even asked you yet, who gave you the guts to gang up on Young Master Lin here?!"

She turned to face Lin Yi, her previously cold expression softening instantly. She clasped her hands in a respectful bow, "Young Master Lin, it's my fault for not managing my family properly; they've offended you. Xiaowei apologizes on their behalf!"

Everyone around was completely stunned!

He Xiaowei, who is usually cold-faced and iron-fisted, was actually so polite to Lin Yi, and even showed some respect.

He Xiaowei knew exactly what was going on.

She knew how important Lin Yi was to the Empress; it was far more than just a title of consort.

That day, after the Empress broke through her cultivation level, she specifically instructed her, "Xiaowei, this person is related to the fate of our Women's Kingdom."

"If anyone in the palace dares to offend him, you must protect him with all your might, just as you would protect me."

He Xiaowei's voice was icy, "Qin Cheng! Apologize to Young Master Lin immediately!"

"Qin Feng! Go back and reflect on your actions!"

"Qin Yuanshan! How can you, a national advisor, act recklessly based on only one side of the story?"

Her barrage of words came crashing down on them, leaving the three of them speechless.

Qin Cheng had no choice but to bite the bullet and bow to Lin Yi, "...Young Master Lin, I'm sorry."

Qin Feng's fists clenched until they turned white, but he could only lower his head.

He Xiaowei then turned around and faced Lin Yi again, her posture even more humble than before. "Young Master Lin, are you satisfied with this arrangement?"

"It's my fault for not managing the household well, which caused you to suffer."

She leaned in quite close, and Lin Yi could smell the faint fragrance emanating from her.

The deputy commander's well-developed body undulated slightly beneath his light armor, creating a unique and alluring sight.

Lin Yi waved his hand, "Commander Qin, you're too kind. It's nothing, just a misunderstanding."

He Xiaowei managed to suppress the whole incident.

He Xiaowei didn't leave immediately. When Lin Yi turned to leave, she silently followed him and walked alongside him for a short distance.

"Young Master Lin,"

She lowered her voice, so that only the two of them could hear, "The people in this deep palace are complicated. If you ever encounter trouble again, young master... Xiaowei will be at your service at any time."

As soon as she finished speaking, she didn't dare to stay any longer and quickened her pace to leave.

Just as she turned around, a faint blush rose to her ears.

It was all because the Empress had sighed in her ear last night, "Xiaowei, you've been stuck at the mid-Foundation Establishment stage for a full ten years."

"If you don't mind, you can go find Lin Yi and cultivate with him for a few days."

"His miraculous body might be a chance for you to undergo a complete transformation!"

But how could she dare?

Lin Yi was the man personally chosen by the Empress, but in the eyes of outsiders, she was, after all, a married woman.

She felt it was blasphemous to even think about such absurd things.

Lin Yi stopped and looked at the dashing yet somewhat flustered figure fleeing away, a slight smile playing on his lips.

"Tsk tsk...this woman is so voluptuous and alluring!"

He chuckled softly. "This empress's trusted commander doesn't seem to be looking at me with such a sly gaze."

"The palace of this Women's Kingdom seems to be more profound and interesting than I thought."

After things calmed down, He Xiaowei left with an awkward expression.

The next day, Lin Yi had an extra guard in his room.

Life has returned to its old routine, even more so now.

Aside from regularly practicing dual cultivation with Rong Qianqin and occasionally giving those little girls some pointers, he basically had nothing else to do.

This empress is truly beautiful, and her skin is incredibly smooth.

The cultivation rewards given after each dual cultivation session are quite generous.

Lin Yi always felt like he was working with a delicate but emotionless wooden man.

The whole process is accurate and fast, but it lacks a bit of popularity and liveliness.

Thinking about Qin Hongmei's fiery passion, he suddenly felt a bit tasteless.

"Damn, what's the difference between this empress and a high-end silicone doll?"

That evening, Lin Yi came out of the Empress's room, his mind filled with unease.

He was really tired of this kind of workday, which was all about clocking in and out.

That's so boring, not exciting at all!

He simply told Rong Qianqin that he wanted to leave the palace for a stroll.

To put it bluntly, I just want to find a way to leave this awful place.

Rong Qianqin didn't stop him, she just gave him a cold look and nodded.

They even sent He Xiaowei to secretly follow them.

As soon as Lin Yi stepped out of the imperial city gate, he felt that even the air became more refreshing.

With his physique from the minor completion of the Great Sun Golden Body Technique, plus the pills and spirit stones he had saved up, he was able to achieve his goal.

As long as he doesn't go looking for trouble by trespassing into those forbidden areas, he can roam freely in this desolate land!

three days later.

Lin Yi arrived at the Fallen Dragon Mountain Range.

This place is one of the top ten famous mountains in the land of absolute spiritual power. There are many ferocious beasts in the mountains, and ordinary cultivators dare not go in.

Lin Yi was bold and went straight into the woods.

As soon as he went inside, he sensed that something was wrong.

The spiritual energy around us was fluctuating wildly, which was very abnormal.

Sometimes it flows gently like a stream, and sometimes it becomes sparse and scattered.

It looked like something was breathing underground.

Lin Yi remembered that he had flipped through an old book in the palace before.

The book says that the Fallen Dragon Mountain Range was the largest main spiritual vein in the Land of Absolute Spirits ten thousand years ago.

Back then, this place wasn't called the Land of Absolute Spirits; it was called the Cave Heaven of Ten Thousand Spirits, where spiritual energy was everywhere, like rain.

Later, in order to suppress the Demon Abyss, generations of masters continuously drained spiritual energy, eventually drying up the main spiritual vein.

"Could it be that this main spiritual vein isn't completely dead yet?"

Lin Yi perked up.

As he walked further in, he discovered that the spiritual energy here was indeed much stronger than outside.

He easily dealt with any wild animals he encountered on the road.

Just as Lin Yi was about to head towards the core area, He Xiaowei, who was secretly following him, gripped the hilt of her sword tightly.

"Oh no! Young Master Lin is going to the core forbidden zone? Even cultivators in the late Foundation Establishment stage dare not set foot there!"

She wanted to rush out and stop him, but then she remembered the Empress's words: "Let him do whatever he wants. Just watch and don't stop him."

I had no choice but to grit my teeth and continue hiding in the shadows.

The deeper they went, the gloomier Lin Yi's expression became.

Just then, a familiar fluctuation suddenly came from between my eyebrows!

The Spirit Spring Space is usable again!

Lin Yi quickly probed his consciousness in and found that Xiao Yun'er was sitting cross-legged by the spiritual spring, her aura was smooth and full, and she had already reached the pseudo-core realm!

He dared not waste any time, so he quickly took out spirit stones and pills and began to absorb them frantically.

His cultivation level skyrocketed!

Late stage of Foundation Establishment... Peak stage of Foundation Establishment... Great Perfection of Foundation Establishment!

"That was fucking awesome!"

Lin Yi's confidence soared, and he continued to explore deeper into the area.

One day later.

Suddenly, a fierce fighting sound came from ahead!

Lin Yi held his breath and crept over quietly.

Inside the valley, a man and a woman were locked in a fierce battle.

The man was dressed in a black robe and had a fierce appearance.

The woman, dressed in white, was now stained red with blood, clearly severely injured, yet still stubbornly holding on.

"Bai Ruolan! If you let me swallow the essence of this last spiritual vein, I can form my core!" the black-robed man roared.

"Luo Jian! Are you crazy? This is the last lifeline of the Land of Desolation!" The woman desperately tried to stop him.

"Once I reach the Core Formation stage, I can break free from the shackles of this hellish place and escape this cage!"

"If you force yourself to form your core, you will break the seal of the Demon Abyss and unleash demonic energy!"

"Fine, I'll accept it! I can't stand this awful place for another second!"

Lin Yi was startled upon hearing this.

It turns out that the reason why one cannot form a core here is not only because there is not enough spiritual energy, but also because it involves the balance of the rules of heaven and earth and the seal!

That Luo Jian's cultivation was suppressed to the Great Perfection of Foundation Establishment, but his spiritual power was solid and his blood energy was vigorous.

Lin Yi guessed that if this guy were outside, he would probably have become a Nascent Soul stage monster by now!

Moreover, he has already absorbed a portion of the spiritual veins, enabling him to mobilize the power of the earth's veins, making his attacks incredibly powerful.

"Damn it, I might not be able to beat him in a head-on fight."

Lin Yi's heart sank. "But we absolutely cannot let him destroy this spiritual vein!"

Just then, Luo Jian slapped Bai Ruolan away with a palm strike, his five fingers forming a claw as he reached for her forehead.

"Ruolan, rest in peace on your journey! With the essence of your dantian and this spiritual vein, I will definitely be able to form my core!"

Bai Ruolan closed her eyes and awaited death.

Lin Yi was about to make a move...

"You thief! How dare you!"

A furious roar ripped through the sky!

A figure shot out from the forest, sword light flashing like lightning, aimed straight at Luo Jian's back!

It was He Xiaowei who could no longer hold back!
