Cultivation: Starting from a Mortal Bone

Chapter 391 - 389: The Empress’s Intentions

"I suppose she has already extended an olive branch to you?"

The Empress’s tone was calm, yet seemed to carry a deeper meaning.

"Yes!"

Qin Yu nodded gently, then expressed that he had not accepted it.

"In the future, there’s no need for that. If someone offers you resources, you... just accept them."

However, surprisingly, the Empress seemed indifferent to these matters.

If such a small benefit could lure someone away, then that person wouldn’t stay for long anyway.

"These past days, you’ve worked hard accompanying Ling’Er, but don’t neglect your cultivation."

"Qin Yu will do his best."

For the moment, Qin Yu couldn’t quite grasp the true intentions of Her Majesty, so he could only agree.

He sensed that the Empress’s reminder must have its reasons.

As if she very much needed him to swiftly improve his cultivation...

But the improvement in realm really couldn’t be rushed.

"Ask Yan Yu to extract resources for you!"

This was already the second time Her Majesty had mentioned it.

Qin Yu pondered.

After returning to his Lifebound Space, naturally, he would have to... enhance his root bone.

During daytime with the Empress Dowager and the Princess, it was already... like a volcano.

A visit to the Carefree Pavilion certainly added fuel to the fire!

Before long, Lin Qianqian and her sister were overwhelmed, and Zhao Mengli could only cry out to the beautiful mentor for help.

Yin Qinghe glared at Qin Yu in annoyance, thoughtfully covering the three of them with blankets before turning to enter the Alchemy Room.

"Mentor."

There was no need for extra words...

"Rebellious disciple!"

Yin Qinghe admonished with some teasing.

This rebellious disciple was truly exasperating!

Yet, as their mentor, she was helplessly indulgent.

After calming the four wives, Qin Yu dressed and moved into Su Xiyue and Leng Ruyu’s room.

The little boatwoman was determined to catch up with her elder sister, battling until she was exhausted. The only pity was, without the Sacred Body to back her, Su Xiyue was still slightly inferior.

On the other hand, the demoness Leng Ruyu, who possessed the Ninefold Celestial Palace, wore a contemptuous smile at the corner of her mouth.

"Demoness, you must know what it means to be wrong!"

Qin Yu glared at Leng Ruyu angrily.

One day!

"Alright, I’m waiting for you."

The little demoness chuckled foolishly; she was far from a weakling like the little boatwoman.

"Husband, what’s wrong with you..."

The demoness fluttered her eyelashes seductively, brazenly.

The little demoness Leng Ruyu was getting bolder, and at this moment, he only wished to quickly acquire the means to battle the Divine Maiden of the Celestial Palace.

After it ended.

Qin Yu remained in Yan Yu’s courtyard to rest, inevitably letting the little rabbit bear it.

Yan Yu could already feel that at this rate, it wouldn’t take long to help her break through the shackles of her root bone!

She was already a top-grade Dao Bone. Further enhancement, what would it be?

...

The next day, Jade Flower Palace.

"Little Ling’Er, how can you bully me just like Qin Yu does?"

The Empress Dowager looked aggrieved. Clearly, she had learned first, so how could she still not defeat Little Ling’Er?

This was utterly incomprehensible!

In just a few moves, the Empress Dowager’s black pieces were utterly defeated.

"Qin Yu, have you been secretly teaching her?"

The Empress Dowager was a bit unconvinced, suddenly leaning to one side, looking into Qin Yu’s eyes as if trying to glean some clues from his expression.

How could someone as clever as I be so thoroughly defeated? The most likely explanation is Qin Yu was withholding from me.

Yes, it must be that way!

However, the Empress Dowager was completely oblivious to how much of an allure her unconscious actions cast.

The luxurious phoenix robe slightly open, the gaze followed the swan-like, graceful slender neck downward.

Qin Yu took a deep breath, pulling back his gaze.

Such a sight, not of this world.

"Empress Dowager, no cheating allowed. Brother Qin Yu didn’t secretly teach me anything."

Little Ling’Er’s face beamed with a bright smile, her delicate little mouth fragrant with the scent of an orchid, making it hard for Qin Yu to resist...

"No way, no way, this round doesn’t count, another one!"

The Empress Dowager shouted, ready to make a comeback.

Just now, she had won three rounds against Qin Yu. Losing to Little Ling’Er must have been an accident.

Qin Yu let out a long sigh; maintaining composure in front of these two earthly beauties was no easy feat.

While the Empress Dowager and Little Ling’Er were playing chess, he lightly stroked the back of Little Ling’Er’s hand.

Her little hand was jade-like, as if meticulously sculpted, small yet gracefully elegant, each fingertip seemed to be filled with spiritual energy, making Qin Yu very reluctant to let go.

Little Ling’Er seemed to feel his gaze, a shy blush surged on her exquisitely carved face, her heart sweet and delightful.

Brother Qin Yu finally didn’t act detached with her like before.

Perhaps due to her heart being affected and not fully focused, or maybe fearing that the Empress Dowager would again blame Qin Yu for withholding, this game didn’t last long before Little Ling’Er lost.

"Qin Yu, look, I won!"

The Empress Dowager immediately stood up and cheered, her great phoenix trembling slightly, as if wanting to break free and take a good breath of the outside air.

Such a scene had Qin Yu’s heart racing.

The Empress Dowager perfectly illustrated what it means when three thousand affections can’t compare to the four liang before her.

She needed no pretense, the occasional breathtaking scene was overwhelming.

"Qin Yu, did you talk to Her Majesty last night?"

The Empress Dowager stored away the chessboard with satisfaction and suddenly asked.

She hadn’t deliberately probed, but as an auspicious sign, her natural sensitivity was extraordinary, clearly feeling the Empress visiting Qin Yu.

"Not yet, Her Majesty came to urge me not to delay my cultivation."

Qin Yu was embarrassed; did the Empress Dowager not just say it casually yesterday?

She really intends to move with Little Ling’Er to live with him?!

"In that case, my palace and Little Ling’Er should definitely move to your Huayang Hall."

The Empress Dowager declared earnestly.

Qin Yu coming every day to heal Little Ling’Er was such a waste of time.

Yes, this reason was undeniably impeccable!

"This matter requires careful planning."

Qin Yu sighed lightly, he wished it could be so, but even a toe could tell, the Empress would surely refuse, possibly suspecting ulterior motives.

After all, the Empress Dowager and Little Ling’Er were too naive.

And with the Cyan Mountain Sect’s senior management’s previous incident, Her Majesty would definitely be cautious.

"But my palace is so bored."
