Chapter 299 - 297: Lifebound Space
"Sister Yan Zhi, is it really possible to reproduce like that?"
After talking about Lin Shuishui’s situation, Yan Yu couldn’t help but ask another question out of curiosity.
Instantly, far away in the Imperial Palace, Yan Zhi’s expression stiffened.
That cultivator called Qin Yu is really just... outrageous!
She didn’t even know what words to use to describe it.
What worried her most, though, was Yan Yu.
This was clearly leading a kid down the wrong path—you let her see such indecent scenes!
And what baffled her most as Leader of the Flame Guard was: why is Qin Yu so damn formidable?
These days, she’s looked through some... not-so-proper ancient texts, investigating the matter.
Based on Yan Yu’s description, Qin Yu’s combat power can only be called inhuman.
Even among the Barbarians!
There can’t be anyone that... overpowered, right?
If she didn’t trust Yan Yu’s judgment, she’d really suspect Qin Yu was a humanoid barbaric beast with Barbarian blood.
"Yan Yu, there are some scenes you don’t need to look at so closely. Just focus on keeping Qin Yu safe!"
Yan Zhi couldn’t help but remind her anyway.
God knows what this youngest Flame Guard will be like after returning to the Imperial Capital.
What a headache.
She didn’t even realize that, unwittingly, she herself had been stuffed with all kinds of... messy knowledge points.
Later—
Yan Zhi reported Lin Shuishui’s situation to Her Majesty the Empress, but as for the rest, she automatically skipped over all those details.
If she reported it like Yan Yu did, it’d only sully Her Majesty’s ears!
"Your Majesty, now that Yan Yu has been at Qin Yu’s side for almost a year, do you want to..."
Yan Zhi meant: should someone replace Yan Yu soon?
Though it’s not quite a year yet, if they’re going to replace her, they need to prepare in advance.
Because she understood how special Qin Yu was, she also knew how important this junior cultivator was—absolutely no mistakes allowed! The Guardian cannot be spared.
The Empress fell silent for a moment.
According to the original plan, once the year was up, there were only two options: either give up, or focus on nurturing him.
The Empress had actually planned to let Yan Yu bring Qin Yu to the Imperial Capital when his year was up.
But now, the Hundred Sword Sect incident had thrown a wrench in things.
Before the people they sent reached the Yunlan Domain, Yan Yu would have to stay there on guard.
Clearly, this is not something Cyan Mist Hall can handle.
"Let Yan Yu keep following him for now and see if his root bone can be improved."
The Empress still cared most about Qin Yu’s root bone.
Though last time it seemed like his root bone improved, it wasn’t fully confirmed.
After thinking for a moment, she added, "Have Yan Yu make direct contact to confirm his root bone."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Even though she wanted to keep Yan Yu safe, Yan Zhi didn’t dare to question the Empress’s order for a second.
The Flame Guard are always willing to lay down their lives for Her Majesty.
...
After leaving the Lin Qianqian sisters’ room, Qin Yu went looking for his beautiful Master-madam.
"How could you treat Shuishui like that?"
Yin Qinghe couldn’t help scolding him with a touch of playful reproach.
Qin Yu edged closer and whispered into her ear, "Does Master-madam want to try again?"
"Absolutely not!"
Yin Qinghe’s reaction was fierce. Even before Qin Yu actually did anything, she got visible goosebumps on her arms.
Obviously, that kind of behavior had a huge impact on her.
After all, she’s got the Innate Tidal Sacred Body!
"Heh heh."
Qin Yu could only bully his gorgeous Master-madam a little more.
Because, whether it’s Leng Ruyu or Su Xihe, he’s never quite... gotten a complete victory.
"Unless Master-madam you’re willing to..."
Qin Yu leaned in and murmured a few words. Instantly, Yin Qinghe’s face flushed red, but to stop Qin Yu from trying something worse...
She could only force herself to agree.
So, this beautiful Master-madam pinned her wicked disciple beneath her heel and harshly—
Punished him.
...
[Emotion Point +10 from Yin Qinghe]
Qin Yu still preferred it when his beautiful Master-madam looked down on him a bit disdainfully.
Maybe it was her words back then that inspired him.
"Qin Yu, this is the last time!"
The result?
This beautiful Master-madam’s body and heart both now belonged to her wayward disciple.
Plus, Qin Yu really liked her Sacred Body.
Just that she was a bit hard on... the bedding.
When he got to his little fairy wife’s room, only Su Xiyue was there.
"Husband."
She stood there, still as otherworldly and unearthly as ever, untouched by dust.
Qin Yu walked over and pulled his little fairy wife into his arms, planning a bit of intimacy, but Su Xiyue clearly had something to say.
"What’s the matter?"
"I... have something to ask you, husband."
Su Xiyue hesitated for a moment, then raised her head, looked at Qin Yu, and softly asked, "When you went into seclusion, was it... was it to heal my sister?"
She was asking very tactfully, but her meaning was clear.
"Well..."
Qin Yu hadn’t wanted to rat out the Sect Leader, and every time, Su Xihe warned him fiercely not to let the little sister find out.
But how could you keep such a thing secret?
And now that his fairy wife was asking, it’s obvious she’d already guessed what really happened during those ten days of seclusion.
"Well, you guessed this yourself."
Yup.
He didn’t say a thing.
Su Xiyue’s eyes trembled slightly—then a trace of delight rose from her heart, overflowing on her face.
In fact, how could she not know Qin Yu couldn’t always stay at Cyan Mountain Sect?
From the moment Qin Yu gave her and Leng Ruyu the Earth Level Cultivation Technique, she knew—this time would come sooner than expected.
Now, she had the Dao Bone and an Earth Level Cultivation Technique; reaching the Lotus Platform was only a matter of time.
And as her root bone improves, she might even reach Foundation Establishment!
That was a Realm she’d never even dreamed of—something only found in ancient texts.
But now, it was no longer so unattainable.
Honestly, the only thing Su Xiyue couldn’t let go of was her sister.
Her sister was injured; after she left, would her sister be left to spend her life alone in Cyan Mountain Sect?
Just thinking of this made Su Xiyue’s heart uneasy.
Suddenly, she tiptoed up and kissed Qin Yu. "Thank you... husband."
"..."
Qin Yu was stunned.
He’d thought his fairy wife would interrogate him, but instead he got her gratitude!
"Husband, if you leave Cyan Mountain Sect, will you take my sister with you?"
After all, Su Xihe is the proper Master who held a formal ceremony with Qin Yu.
"Of course!"
Qin Yu answered with zero hesitation.
Even if there might be some petty gossip—so what?!
Could anything be more important than his Sect Leader-Master?
He’d given up the perks from the Hall Master just to come back to Cyan Mountain Sect for her, didn’t he?
"From now on, we’ll always be together."
Qin Yu made his promise.
Su Xiyue finally let go of her worries, a beautiful smile blooming on her face—like a snow lotus blossoming, stunning and serene.
