Chapter 439 - 433: Two Foxes Come to Steal Someone! (Part 2)
Qin Yu didn’t know that when he used his Nascent Soul Power to investigate, although he could not enter the Empress’s body, it provided some relief to the Empress’s condition.
After a morning of nourishment, the Empress no longer felt as fatigued as before and even felt much more invigorated.
"Empress Dowager, is His Majesty’s internal injury serious?"
Qin Yu asked the Empress Dowager with some concern.
"I don’t know, but His Majesty looks much better now."
The Empress Dowager tilted her head thoughtfully and replied.
Previously, His Majesty had almost been asleep the whole day, but after Qin Yu arrived, the Empress’s spirits gradually recovered, even to the point of energetically scolding others.
Hmph, what a tyrant!
She kindly brought Qin Yu to help this tyrant heal, simply to enjoy some of Qin Yu’s comforting aura, wasn’t she?
Yet she got scolded at every turn.
Really infuriating!
"Hehe, Qin Yu, let’s go out of the palace and have some fun."
The Empress Dowager was pure and kind, her gaze clear.
Though she had just been scolded not long ago, it seemed as long as the Empress’s health showed no abnormalities, she was not bothered by these minor issues.
Soon, under the Empress Dowager’s personal guidance, the group once again left the Imperial Palace.
With beauties surrounding Qin Yu, passersby cast envious and respectful glances his way. However, along this journey, no one dared provoke them.
Anyone who can establish themselves in the Imperial Capital must have some degree of insight and naturally understands when to act and when not to, never doing anything which could bring them shame and disgrace.
Even though the Empress Dowager and the Princess’s radiance was so dazzling that it was difficult to see their true forms, anyone with any sense knew that a man leading a group of beauties through the streets must be someone of extraordinary status.
As for the profligate sons who usually didn’t grasp worldly matters, they’d been repeatedly warned by their elders after that grand tributor feast: if they encountered such a spectacle, they should steer clear to avoid inviting unnecessary trouble to themselves and their families.
"Huh?"
Just as Qin Yu’s group stepped out of the palace, a Beauty Clan Leader in a busy part of the city suddenly lifted her head.
Tu Jiujiu’s adorable nose twitched slightly, as if she had caught a familiar scent.
As a Celestial Fox, her perception might not be as exaggerated as the Empress Dowager’s, but her sense of smell was exceptionally sharp for aromas she makes a point to remember.
"Sister, the person undergoing the tribulation has come out."
Tu Jiujiu gazed into the distance, muttering softly.
"Let’s go."
The Beauty Clan Leader put down the beautiful dress in her hand, and in a flash, she and the little fox vanished from their spot.
The bustling crowd seemed entirely oblivious to the disappearance of the two little foxes.
"It’s definitely him!"
Soon, Tu Jiujiu’s gaze landed on Qin Yu, her beautiful eyes sparkling with an excited gleam.
This scent is unmistakable!
"Don’t rush."
The Beauty Clan Leader pulled the little fox who wanted to rush up to Qin Yu, her expression serious.
"What’s wrong?"
Tu Jiujiu was puzzled.
The Beauty Clan Leader shook her head, her gaze intently fixed on the figure not far from Qin Yu, shrouded in moonlight.
That is the rumored auspicious figure, the Empress Dowager of the Great Yan Immortal Country!
On her, the Beauty Clan Leader sensed an exceedingly dangerous aura.
Clearly, this Empress Dowager is anything but simple!
Approaching that tribulation-crossing human may not be as straightforward as I imagined.
"Let’s wait for now."
The Beauty Clan Leader led Tu Jiujiu, swiftly blending into the crowd, following Qin Yu’s group from afar.
A fog seemed to shroud them, making it impossible for others to see their faces. Otherwise, with their looks and figures, they would certainly cause a commotion.
"Sister, why don’t we go over and ask him?"
Tu Jiujiu was still a bit puzzled.
"He’s of the Human Race."
The Beauty Clan Leader wasn’t willing to explain the existence of the Empress Dowager to Tu Jiujiu.
"But he doesn’t look scary at all?"
Tu Jiujiu thought of the figure she had just seen, who smiled with the warmth of spring, giving her a very comfortable feeling, not at all like the terrifying person the Beauty Clan Leader described.
"Huh?"
The Empress Dowager, originally enjoying her outing, seemed to notice something, looking towards a certain spot.
Where did these two foxes come from behind her?!
And they kept looking at Qin Yu.
Oh, these foxes want to snatch someone from right under my nose?!
Hmph, not a chance!
The Empress Dowager suddenly became extremely vigilant; if Qin Yu were taken by the foxes, what would happen to Little Ling’Er and His Majesty?
Moreover, who would accompany me for strolls, storytelling, or playing chess in the future?
This must never happen!
During the outing.
Qin Yu soon noticed that today the Empress Dowager seemed somewhat different.
She didn’t roam around leisurely as usual with Lin Shuishui and the others. Instead, she seemed more like a guard, staying by his side.
And she looked very alert.
"Empress Dowager, what’s wrong with you?"
Qin Yu couldn’t help but be a little confused; although the Empress Dowager was bathed in moonlight, nothing was hidden from his Celestial Eye.
Being so close inevitably made his mind wander a bit.
The Empress Dowager glanced at Qin Yu.
Can’t he see?
I’m protecting you!
Since the Flower Fairy, this was the first time the Empress Dowager felt such a strong sense of crisis.
She truly worried that Qin Yu might be whisked away by the two foxes.
Those foxes are truly alluring!
In terms of allure, no race in the world can compare to the Qingqiu Race.
If they lift the Fog Illusion Technique, countless people would likely become enchanted by them.
With Qin Yu’s preferences, how could he resist such charm?!
