Chapter 368 - 366: Do You Have a Cure?
"Yes!"
Yan Yu nodded.
Indeed, it was because of healing injuries, and then becoming Qin Yu’s Dao Companion.
Perhaps, it could be said like that?
"No way?!"
The Empress Dowager wished to immediately check if she had been hurt; she definitely didn’t want to be healed and then...
Could it be that Qin Yu did it on purpose just now?!
Bumping into her and then using the opportunity to heal her.
"Bang! Bang..."
The Empress Dowager seemed to hear her own heartbeat, as if... it was ignited.
"Oh no!"
Suddenly, she remembered something, and anxiously stamped her foot.
Where is Little Ling’Er?!
No, Qin Yu is so... grown.
And Ling’Er is so young, it might get worse with the treatment, right?!
"Wait for me!"
The Empress Dowager was very vigilant; she must protect Little Ling’Er well!
Seeing Qin Yu and Ling’Er sit in the pavilion, she immediately stepped forward with the Great Phoenix swaying as if wanting to jump out from her attire to breathe.
Qin Yu watched with a pounding heart.
He dared not look!
He completely dared not look!
Earlier, if not for his Pure Yang Divine Body already being at the Third Layer, he might have been injured internally by the Great Phoenix’s collision.
This Empress Dowager of Great Yan is really... fierce!
Throughout the day, Qin Yu stayed at Jade Flower Palace, accompanying Little Ling’Er and telling the Empress Dowager a new story of Journey to the West.
The Empress Dowager, from initially being overwhelmed with thoughts, became completely absorbed in the exciting tale and had long forgotten the earlier matters.
Until sunset, when Qin Yu rose to leave.
Only then did the Empress Dowager lazily stretch, also getting up, revealing a glimpse of fair skin due to the excessive arch.
"Brother Qin Yu, can you come again tomorrow?"
Little Ling’Er was somewhat reluctant; before meeting Qin Yu, she felt every day was so torturous, but staying with Qin Yu, time always passed so quickly.
"Of course."
Qin Yu smiled, maintaining his meticulous demeanor.
Although he didn’t feel watched, whether facing the Empress Dowager or the Princess, he still maintained the proper distance and etiquette.
Returning to Huayang Hall, Qin Yu took Yan Yu’s hand and looked toward the nearest building.
"Little bunny, the view upstairs should be better, let’s go see."
Qin Yu slid his hand down, gently patting, and said, "Come on, upstairs."
Yan Yu’s face flushed with shyness.
She wasn’t an inexperienced girl anymore, and couldn’t misinterpret Qin Yu’s hint.
Did he really mean to go upstairs?
Yan Yu couldn’t help but feel a bit worried. Every time Qin Yu parted from the Empress Dowager, he seemed so eager, was he perhaps...
The Empress Dowager was undeniably beautiful, and maybe it wasn’t entirely his fault.
But still, after all, she’s the Empress Dowager!
How could he...
"Whew!"
With her tail caught, the little bunny couldn’t resist anymore.
...
Late at night.
Jade Flower Palace.
In a tranquil bedroom, a figure in a dragon robe appeared out of nowhere.
"Did he leave?"
The Empress glanced at the Empress Dowager, who was supporting herself on the bed, then looked at the already asleep Ling’Er.
Unlike before, the young girl’s breathing was uniform and steady, and her face, which had no trace of mortal dust, showed no signs of pain. Even the blush on her cheeks hadn’t completely faded.
What surprised the Empress was the faint, genuine, natural smile on Little Ling’Er’s lips as she slept.
The Empress had never seen her sister sleep so peacefully before.
She gently caressed Little Ling’Er’s face, feeling a touch of emotion.
"Your Majesty, the night is so boring, I still want..."
The Empress Dowager supported her head with both hands, and the burden between her hands made her attire split open, revealing the Great Phoenix inside.
"No!"
The Empress coldly glanced at her, her brows slightly furrowed.
This foolish auspice, could she have been like this in front of Qin Yu during the day?!
That guy dared to look at me, wouldn’t he have... seen all of the Empress Dowager?!
The dignity and face of the Great Yan Royal Family would soon be lost because of this auspice!
"I haven’t finished speaking yet!"
The Empress Dowager was grieved.
This tyrant is simply unreasonable.
Clearly, I am the Empress Dowager!
"I’m tired."
The Empress felt a headache, lying down before the Empress Dowager could protest, with the dragon robe slightly draping, exposing smooth legs like jade, more beautiful than life itself.
The Empress Dowager clawed and growled but dared not disturb this tyrant.
That day.
Qin Yu visited Jade Flower Palace as usual.
At noon, an immense presence suddenly descended.
"Your Majesty!"
Detecting the presence, Qin Yu and Yan Yu immediately stood up and greeted respectfully.
The Empress nodded slightly, signaling them not to be overly formal.
Though she never appeared, she was always observing Qin Yu’s behavior.
Qin Yu never took the initiative to hold Little Ling’Er’s hand and even sat a bit apart, never leaning against Little Ling’Er.
This action alone reassured the Empress about him.
This is called understanding boundaries!
Unlike the Empress Dowager...
Seeing the Empress Dowager almost place all the burden on the stone table, the Great Yan Empress’s eyelids twitched and her hands in the robe clenched tightly.
This foolish auspice, doesn’t she know what kind of person Qin Yu is?!
Putting it there, isn’t she afraid of being... devoured?!
This is outrageous, practically disgracing the face of the Great Yan Royal Family completely!
"Empress Dowager, take Little Ling’Er for a walk, I need to speak with Qin Tributor."
The Empress walked to the stone table, speaking coolly.
"Why?"
The Empress Dowager wanted to argue; this was her Jade Flower Palace. But faced with the Empress’s intimidating gaze, she chose to comply.
This tyrant, with such an expression, is she going to devour me?
So hateful!
Still, Qin Yu is better; he never thought about devouring me and told such interesting tales.
Yan Yu also followed the Empress Dowager and the others as they left.
"The situation with Ling’Er, you should be very clear."
The Empress went straight to the point, saying.
"The Princess is naturally born with the Dao Rhythm Body..."
Qin Yu responded truthfully, repeating what the Empress Dowager had said on the Phoenix Carriage.
"Do you have a way to cure her hidden ailment?"
The Empress didn’t beat around the bush, asking directly.
"This..."
Qin Yu found it somewhat difficult.
Little Ling’Er harbors both ice and fire Dao Rhyme powers within her, and he, a Golden Core Realm cultivator, couldn’t possibly affect Dao Rhyme!
Besides, even the Empress herself and the Empress Dowager had no solutions.
As for Qin Yu himself, he indeed wasn’t sure why he could suppress those two Dao Rhyme powers.
Could he truly say in front of the supreme Empress, when one is sick, they need injections and medicine?!
