Cultivation: Starting from a Mortal Bone

Inside Qin Yu’s body, the Empress Dowager saw a brilliant golden sun, emitting an energy that made her feel very comfortable.

In fact, she usually doesn’t interact with anyone besides the Great Yan Empress, Ling’Er, and the Flame Guard, but upon first meeting Qin Yu, she didn’t feel any dislike.

On the contrary, there was an indescribable feeling.

Even somewhat attracted to him.

This was why she allowed Qin Yu to ride her Phoenix Chariot and enter her room.

Soon, the clear brilliance in the Empress Dowager’s eyes subsided.

Perhaps it really was due to the special constitution of Qin Yu?

The Empress Dowager clearly didn’t want to think about overly complicated matters; as long as it benefited Little Ling’Er, it was enough for her.

"Then accompany Ling’Er more."

"Th-this..."

How could Qin Yu dare, but, seeing the Princess looking at him with expectations, he couldn’t bear to refuse, "Qin Yu obeys!"

If he was indispensable to this Princess, it might actually be a good thing.

The Empress Dowager re-ascertained Yan Yu’s injury, and upon sensing the weakening black qi, she felt astonished.

"You can actually purify those annoying things too."

Her impression of Qin Yu improved further.

Because she herself was the nemesis of all evil in the world.

If the Empress Dowager were likened to a bright moon, then Qin Yu was... a great sun.

"You are truly remarkable; even I couldn’t purify those annoying things."

"..."

Qin Yu was evidently not accustomed to such direct praise.

Only the second meeting, yet this Empress Dowager already knew he was formidable.

He still humbly replied, "How could Qin Yu compare to the Empress Dowager? The Empress Dowager is the bright moon in the heavens, and Qin Yu is just a firefly in the wilderness."

Originally just a normal form of flattery, the Empress Dowager comfortably squinted her eyes, even looking at Qin Yu as if she wanted him to say more.

Qin Yu’s mouth twitched slightly.

This Empress Dowager really...

But he didn’t hesitate to praise her again, from cultivation to appearance, mentioning each.

Though somewhat exaggerated, most of it was true.

The Empress Dowager was extremely satisfied, her eyes forming crescents.

Really should let that Tyrant listen too!

Humph!

He actually said that this palace was good for nothing!

Then, the Empress Dowager sat down on the chair beside Ling’Er, then suddenly asked, "Qin Yu, where did you and Yan Yu hide just now?"

She was truly curious about this.

In that instant, within her perception, the breaths of Qin Yu and Yan Yu completely disappeared from this world.

Too incredible.

To know, originally, she only saw a great sun rising in this direction, then relied on perception to carry Little Ling’Er over.

This was also the reason they met halfway.

Even if Qin Yu had not gone to the Imperial Capital, she would have found the Yunlan Domain.

"Reporting to the Empress Dowager, Qin Yu has a space where one can hide to preserve life."

Qin Yu didn’t hide anything.

The main reason was perhaps Yan Yu had already reported this to the Empress.

Moreover, even the Empress Dowager couldn’t perceive it, wasn’t this proof the Lifebound Space was absolutely safe?!

"Oh, there’s such a space?"

A trace of suspicion appeared in the Empress Dowager’s eyes.

Even those hidden families’ Grotto Heaven Blessed Lands, she actually could sense them.

After all, even though it’s a Grotto Heaven Blessed Land, it’s just a small space separated from this world and has connecting points.

As long as there’s a connection, it can’t escape her sense through Innate Divine Techniques.

"Can you let me see inside?"

"Th-this..."

It’s not that Qin Yu was unwilling, but what if the Empress Dowager stayed inside the Lifebound Space?!

Yan Yu might be fine.

But in front were the Empress Dowager and the Princess of the Immortal Country; if they heard or saw something inside, the Empress would definitely be furious!

Thus, he still restrained that reckless idea in his heart.

"It’s a bit inconvenient."

"Inconvenient?!"

The Empress Dowager’s brows furrowed.

How dare you refuse this palace!

This palace, this palace...

The Empress Dowager racked her brains to exhibit some of her authority, but she had never done such a thing, after thinking over and over, she said, "Do you not respect this palace?"

"???

Qin Yu was puzzled; when he praised her earlier, she wasn’t like this.

Now she said he didn’t respect.

His respect was higher than the sky!

"Little Yan Yu can enter, why can’t this palace?!"

This was indeed hard for Qin Yu to refute, fortunately, Yan Yu came to his rescue, "Empress Dowager, the Empress instructed us to return to the Imperial Capital as soon as possible."

"Return to the Imperial Capital?"

"Yes, we will return immediately, and let that Tyra... Empress see Little Ling’Er!"

The Empress Dowager’s attention quickly shifted.

Just thinking about the possible shock that the Tyrant might show made her somewhat anxious.

With a thought, her Phoenix Chariot transformed into a stream of light, cutting across the sky, heading towards the Great Yan Imperial Capital.

Throughout the day, Qin Yu stayed in the room of the Empress Dowager.

Couldn’t help it.

The Princess kept holding his hand and wouldn’t let go; moreover, due to their status, Qin Yu didn’t know what to talk about.

Mainly fearing he might offend them.

Luckily sitting down; otherwise... some respect, couldn’t really be concealed.

But, in the meantime, the Empress Dowager couldn’t hold back any longer, directly sending a transmission to the Great Yan Empress.

"Ling’Er’s condition improved?!"

From the Sound Transmission Stone came the Empress’s somewhat doubtful voice.

How could it improve for no reason?

Listening to the Empress’s somewhat questioning tone, the Empress Dowager puffed up and retorted, "Of course, do you not trust this palace?!"

Trust? Not even a ghost!

When have you ever done anything reliable?!

"Ask Little Ling’Er, ask Little Yan Yu!"

She said this, only then did the Empress believe somewhat, immediately asking, "How is Yan Yu’s condition?"

"Empress, Yan Yu is no longer seriously hurt."

Yan Yu spoke and elaborated on the details of his injuries.

Imperial Capital.

A trace of surprise appeared in the Empress’s eyes.

Originally hearing the Empress Dowager mention Yan Yu’s injury, she thought merely suppressing the black qi was already quite good, but now, not only was the black qi suppressed, the condition had already improved.

This indicates, the black qi is being eliminated.

That’s death qi essence combined with blood, even the Empress Dowager was helpless.

Just how did Qin Yu accomplish all this?!

He was merely a Golden Core Cultivator.

"Qin Yu!"

Although just a transmission, Qin Yu still felt a strong might emanating, making him tense.

"Qin Yu, pay respects to the Empress!"

Even without seeing that supreme being, Qin Yu dared not neglect, saluting towards the Sound Transmission Stone.
