Chapter 350 - 348: Innate Ice and Fire Sacred Body
"Constitution?"
Qin Yu was confused.
But the girl in front of him was the Princess of the Immortal Country!
Could it be that the royal family of the Immortal Country couldn’t solve a trivial constitution issue?!
But since it’s an illness, I wonder...
Little Ling’Er’s clear eyes looked at Qin Yu. For some reason, she always felt that there was a comforting aura about him.
Even the condition within her body seemed to be somewhat alleviated.
"Can I... can I sit next to you?"
She timidly walked towards Qin Yu. Though somewhat apprehensive, her steps were unusually firm.
She wanted to be near Qin Yu.
The resolve she had was because with each step closer, she could distinctly feel that her condition was improving.
Warm.
Like approaching a fireplace in the dead of winter.
"Ling’Er?"
The Empress Dowager was a bit surprised, initially wanting to stop her.
However, Ling’Er had always been so considerate, in a way that tugged at one’s heartstrings.
She must have her own reasons for doing this.
Therefore, the Empress Dowager did not stop her but chose to quietly observe, allowing the situation to develop naturally.
In fact, she had already noticed that whenever Qin Yu was present, Ling’Er’s complexion seemed much better.
Moreover, in her eyes, Qin Yu was like a volcano, a suspended sun... perhaps it might genuinely be beneficial for Ling’Er’s situation.
Of course, this all required further observation.
"Hmm?"
Qin Yu looked over and saw the doll-like girl gazing at him pitifully, her eyes full of anticipation.
"Of course, you can."
Qin Yu glanced at the Empress Dowager and seeing she had no objection, he nodded immediately.
The endearing Princess aroused no hint of refusal in him, even without considering her noble status; Qin Yu’s heart couldn’t muster any rejection.
After all, who could coldly refuse the pure and innocent Zhao Ling’Er from Immortal Spirit Island?
Seeing Qin Yu nod gently in agreement, Little Ling’Er seemed to shed the burden of a thousand pounds, as a long-lost bright smile blossomed on her delicate face.
She walked happily to the empty seat beside Qin Yu and sat down.
"So... warm!"
A newfound sense of satisfaction bloomed in Little Ling’Er’s heart, a lightness she had never felt since birth.
Sitting next to Qin Yu was akin to basking in the spring sunshine, her whole body warm, making her wish she could stay like this forever.
The Empress Dowager looked at Little Ling’Er with surprise, astutely noticing that the turmoil in her qi was no longer as turbulent as before.
This was unprecedented!
The girl shyly glanced at Qin Yu. Her clear eyes sparkled with a mix of shyness and anticipation.
As she looked up to meet his gaze, she bashfully lowered her head again, her tender hands hesitating to reach out, only to timidly withdraw them.
"I... I..."
As the Princess of the Immortal Country, she seemed like a child, hesitating to speak, testing the waters with a hint of reserve.
Ultimately, she mustered the courage, "Can I... hold your hand?"
She knew it was impolite, yet there was an intense longing in her heart, like a chronically ill person seeing a remedy, or a drowning person finding a life-saving straw.
"Hmm?!"
In the room, both Qin Yu and the Empress Dowager, along with Yan Yu, looked at her in surprise.
No one could understand why she would feel this way.
But both the Empress Dowager and Yan Yu knew.
In the Imperial Palace, this Princess was never close to anyone except the Empress and the Empress Dowager.
And Qin Yu was merely a stranger she had met for the second time?!
Why would she feel affectionate toward him?
Qin Yu looked at her outstretched, tender hand but hesitated in his heart.
It wasn’t that he didn’t want to; he had to consider the feelings of those behind the Princess.
What if the Empress became furious because of this?!
However, the Empress Dowager sitting there continued to watch without any intention to intervene.
But when Ling’Er caught a glimpse of Qin Yu’s moment of hesitation, the light in her eyes dimmed abruptly, like the brightest star in the night sky suddenly losing its brilliance.
She pursed her pink lips gently, her small hand involuntarily retracting.
At that moment, Qin Yu reached out his hand to her.
Ling’Er abruptly looked up, catching that gentle smile at the corner of Qin Yu’s mouth, a smile like the first light of dawn, dispelling the shadows in her heart.
Without any hesitation, she reached out her little hand and grasped Qin Yu’s palm.
Instantly, she felt a stream of warmth pass from Qin Yu’s hand to her, the previously turbulent qi within her miraculously calming.
The immensely pleasant relief brought healthy flushes of red to her previously sickly complexion.
"Hmm..."
A soft and satisfied hum escaped her small nose as she slightly closed her eyes, seemingly basking in the peace of the moment.
It was at the moment their palms touched that Qin Yu sensed the flicker of a flame within him.
[Innate Ice and Fire Sacred Body]
"???"
"!!!"
The expression on Qin Yu’s face changed immediately.
What did this mean?
Could it be that... the Princess before him possessed an Innate Sacred Body?!
Hiss!...
Actually, for Qin Yu, the most troubling issue was how to find an Innate Sacred Body.
Otherwise, the Lifebound Divine Technique and the Lifebound Divine Sword couldn’t advance at all.
But the Innate Sacred Body was extremely rare, as recorded in ancient texts, one in a billion!
He never expected to so coincidentally find the fourth Innate Sacred Body.
But.
The girl before his eyes was the high-ranking Princess of the Great Yan Immortal Country.
Moreover, she seemed so fragile.
Even smaller and more delicate than Lin Shuishui and the others.
This...
Just thinking about the scene, Qin Yu felt it was too cruel. Looking into the pure eyes of the girl before him, any trace of wicked thought quickly vanished.
Forget it.
Deal with it later.
Besides, he wasn’t very familiar with the basic situation of this Princess.
"Huh?!"
The Empress Dowager couldn’t sit still anymore, standing up and bringing her Great Phoenix over.
Perhaps due to some urgency, the Great Phoenix in front of her kept flapping its wings, as if it wished to fly off her right then and there.
Originally dressed in a phoenix robe, the sense of nobility and elegance disappeared in an instant!
In the words of the Empress, it was... improper!
"Little Ling’Er, you..."
The Empress Dowager, still doubtful, spoke up inquiringly.
