Cultivation: Starting from a Mortal Bone

However, Qin Yu had no idea that it was precisely because the two of them were utterly defeated that their determination to find reinforcements became even stronger.

Though Lin Qianqian was gentle and virtuous, her combat strength wasn’t much better than theirs.

Beauty Master-madam, relying on her Tidal Saint Body, could hang on a bit longer, but ultimately, she couldn’t let go of her dignity and refused to live together with the juniors.

It was Su Xiyue, though, who would now occasionally come to help—this petite boat maiden was surprisingly tough, and as a result, her relationship with Lin Shuishui and the others was quite harmonious.

Below the Lotus Platform Realm, among all his little wives, the only one who could go toe-to-toe with Qin Yu was the little demoness with the Ninefold Celestial Palace—Leng Ruyu.

Facing her husband with his nose in the air, Leng Ruyu stammered at first, but then came out to meet him in full force, showing off her every trick, and finally managed to take the upper hand with a superior Holy Body Technique.

"Hmph, so that’s all you’ve got."

Seeing victory was within reach, a trace of arrogance rose onto the little demoness’s stunningly beautiful face.

She was not like those battle-five-trash weaklings!

Faced with such a haughty gaze, an intense fighting spirit suddenly surged up in Qin Yu’s heart.

So what if it’s the Ninefold Celestial Palace?!

Today, even if I run out of ammo and food, I’ll turn this around!

"Zzzzt zzzzt..."

With Qin Yu’s continuous persistence, the Fourth Layer Pure Yang Divine Body was nearing its limit, and just as he was about to falter, arcs of electricity suddenly flickered through his body.

Those weren’t ordinary lightning arcs.

They were Thunder Power that had merged into Qin Yu’s body during the Celestial Tribulation Body Tempering.

"Zzap!"

The next moment, the Guardian Divine Maiden seemed to have been electrocuted—her Ninefold Celestial Palace was broken through almost instantly.

An unprecedented sense of satisfaction overflowed in Leng Ruyu’s heart.

With the Ninefold Celestial Palace shattered, apart from feeling exhausted physically, the little demoness experienced defeat for the very first time.

"Wuu wuu..."

She began to cry.

Sobbing uncontrollably.

Crying...

In a complete mess!

...

[Leng Ruyu Romantic Point: 100 (Till Death Do Us Part)]

[Activated: Earth-Departing Flame Banner]

Qin Yu didn’t even have time to tease the utterly defeated little demoness; a line of data flashed across the flames before his eyes, making his whole body tremble.

"Hus...husband, you’re incredible."

Leng Ruyu’s gaze was dreamy, pure adoration nearly overflowing from her beautiful eyes. But she couldn’t understand—where did those electric arcs suddenly come from?!

"Now you know you were wrong, but it’s too late."

Qin Yu finally realized that after enduring the tribulation, some subtle changes seemed to have occurred within his Pure Yang Divine Body.

He hadn’t had a chance to test the toughness of his physical body just yet, but this Thunder Power hidden throughout his body—he seemed to have found a unique application for it.

With the Thunder Power of the Celestial Tribulation Body Tempering, with just a single thought, he could totally transform into a kind of...

Special fish?

A single success boosted Qin Yu’s confidence, and he immediately wanted to battle the little demoness for another three hundred rounds.

But the satisfied Leng Ruyu hugged him tight, her breathing growing steady, and she completely succumbed and fell asleep in exhaustion.

Qin Yu gently stroked the little demoness’s hair, only checking the flames after seeing she was comfortable.

Back on the Demon Sect wedding day, Leng Ruyu’s Romantic Point was just one step away from Perfection, but ever since, it’d always been missing that last nudge.

Today, relying on Thunder Power to break through the Ninefold Celestial Palace, Leng Ruyu’s Romantic Point finally reached Perfection.

[Earth-Departing Flame Banner (damaged, can be repaired)]

[Allows Chaos Yin Yang, Reversed Celestial Secret, thus blocking others from probing one’s presence]

"Earth-Departing Flame Banner?"

Qin Yu murmured to himself—wasn’t this one of the Supreme Treasures straight out of mythology?!

Right now, he didn’t really get what "Chaos Yin Yang" or "Reversed Celestial Secret" meant, but the last line—blocking others from probing...

This was exactly what Qin Yu was lacking the most at the moment!

Ever since advancing to the Lotus Platform Realm and forming his Nascent Soul, Qin Yu had discovered that even the Magical Treasures granted by the Empress to mask his aura couldn’t fully cover up the naturally emanating essence from his body.

That had concerned him before.

In the Imperial Capital, with the Empress sitting in charge, there was no need to worry too much.

But if the Empress wasn’t around, or if he ever left the Great Yan Imperial Capital alone, and ran into some powerhouse, his aura was bound to attract unnecessary trouble.

"Hmm?"

Meanwhile, Tu Jiujiu sensed that the aura that used to belong to Qin Yu had suddenly vanished without a trace.

This couldn’t help but make the little fox suspicious.

But soon enough—

From the hot spring courtyard, another round of strange noises echoed out.

"Master, hurry up and call Husband."

"Pah! You rebellious disciple, dream on!"

Su Xihe gritted her teeth, maintaining all the Sect Leader’s reserve and pride.

Her heart had already yielded, but the battle had only just begun—there’s no way she’d bow her head to this rebel disciple so soon.

"Zzzzt zzzzt!"

The next moment, Su Xihe’s delicate body trembled, the water in the hot spring splashing everywhere. In those flawless eyes, a flash of bewilderment shone through.

An utterly new sensation spread across her whole body, pulling her down into bliss.

In less than a stick of incense’s time, the Sect Leader with the White Jade Sacred Body had actually been defeated like this.

Liu Zixiao watched the scene before her in disbelief.

In the past, it had always taken all the sisters working together for her to keep up.

What happened today? Sect Leader-sama lost SO quickly?!

"So weird..."

Tu Jiujiu couldn’t sense Qin Yu’s aura, but with her cultivation level, she didn’t need to eavesdrop on purpose—the noises inside the hot spring courtyard still clearly reached her ears.

What she was puzzled about, though, was these forms of address—so confusing.

She’d heard from Beauty Clan Leader that members of other races weren’t like the Qingqiu Fox Race—they didn’t necessarily stick to just one mate.
