Chapter 453 - 436: The Little Fox Is Missing! (Part 4)
She wouldn’t dare to seduce Qin Yu in front of me, would she?
Little Ling’Er trotted happily over to Qin Yu, and seeing Qin Yu’s hand extended, the last bit of reluctance in her heart disappeared completely.
Indeed, as she had felt, no one could take away Brother Qin Yu’s affection for her.
Little Ling’Er curiously looked at Tu Jiujiu who had been hiding beside Qin Yu and didn’t even dare to glance at the Empress Dowager.
"Jiujiu, don’t worry, the Empress Dowager won’t trouble you."
Little Ling’Er felt a bit apologetic, then proactively extended her hand, saying, "I’m Ling’Er."
Upon hearing this, Tu Jiujiu temporarily let go of her worries.
Perhaps due to fear of the Empress Dowager, Tu Jiujiu didn’t dare to cling to Qin Yu all the time.
However, Qin Yu was clearly surprised at how quickly the friendship between the girls had formed.
In just half a day, Tu Jiujiu was already hand-in-hand with Lin Shuishui and others, playing joyfully in the Imperial Garden.
Qin Yu originally intended to accompany them, but couldn’t refuse the Empress Dowager’s request, and had to enjoy the scenery while playing chess with her in the stone pavilion.
The atmosphere in the stone pavilion was somewhat strange.
Even when intentionally losing the chess game to the Empress Dowager, she didn’t have the usual joyful expression, instead, she seemed to want to say something but held back.
As the game ended, the Empress Dowager finally couldn’t help but ask, "Qin Yu, you won’t abandon Little Ling’Er, will you?"
Little Ling’Er, who was resting lightly on Qin Yu’s chest, trembled slightly.
"Of course not."
Qin Yu replied without hesitation.
During their time together, facing a girl who seemed to have walked out from Immortal Spirit Island, he cherished her greatly, and in his spare time, he was always accompanying this Princess.
The breath of Little Ling’Er in his arms became more steady, and a faint smile appeared on her exquisite face.
With Qin Yu’s firm response, the Empress Dowager seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.
She trusted Qin Yu a lot.
Otherwise, even if Little Ling’Er pleaded, she wouldn’t have agreed to let the little fox stay by Qin Yu’s side.
"I can help you request a marriage from Her Majesty."
The Empress Dowager suddenly said.
"Hmm?"
Qin Yu’s hand trembled, almost losing grip of the chess piece.
Marriage?
Qin Yu didn’t deny his affection for Little Ling’Er, but she was, after all, the Princess of the Great Yan Immortal Country.
In his heart, the Empress permitted Little Ling’Er to follow him into his Lifebound Space because of her health issues!
Suddenly requesting a marriage from Her Majesty?
Would Her Majesty agree?!
...
At night.
The Empress Dowager had already returned to Jade Flower Palace.
Little Ling’Er nestled against Qin Yu’s arm, quietly gazing at the countless stars.
Meanwhile, Tu Jiujiu lay on her side, breathing the relaxing air after the Empress Dowager left.
"Let’s go back."
After a long while, Qin Yu stood up and said.
After seeing off the Empress Dowager, he should spend time with his beloved ones to cultivate well.
"Go back?"
Tu Jiujiu was a bit puzzled, panic flickering in her eyes.
Could it be that Brother Qin Yu wanted to send her away?
"Buzz..."
Just as Tu Jiujiu was puzzled, she suddenly felt the aura of Lin Shuishui and others disappear.
"Jiujiu, don’t be afraid, give me your hand."
Qin Yu didn’t leave Tu Jiujiu behind, even though he suspected that Tu Jiujiu wasn’t simply lost and accidentally encountered him as she said.
However, her freshness and innocence weren’t feigned.
Besides, if Tu Jiujiu truly had issues, the Empress absolutely wouldn’t tolerate her entering the Imperial Palace.
"Whoosh!"
While Tu Jiujiu was still puzzled, the view before her blurred, and the next second, she was in an unfamiliar space.
"What...what is this place?"
Tu Jiujiu gasped in surprise.
As soon as she entered, she felt a comforting aura around her.
The feeling was difficult to articulate, yet every pore seemed to be breathing.
She instinctively wanted to reveal her tail and wag it gently.
"This is our home."
Beside her, Little Ling’Er explained.
She remembered when she first came here, Qin Yu and Lin Shuishui introduced it to her in the same way.
Every time Little Ling’Er entered the Lifebound Space, she felt particularly at ease.
"Home?"
Tu Jiujiu muttered softly, seeming to not quite understand what it meant.
However, after a slight sense, she quickly discovered that this was a small world space carved out!
The little fox felt more comfortable here than in Qingqiu!
She suddenly grew fond of this unique space.
Almost simultaneously, outside the Imperial Palace, the Beauty Clan Leader’s body trembled.
Tu Jiujiu’s aura had vanished!
A moment ago, she felt Tu Jiujiu was inside the Imperial Palace; how did she suddenly disappear?!
Oh my god!
What on earth happened?!!
