Cultivation: Starting from a Mortal Bone

However, Su Xiyue’s cry made the Sect Leader very distressed.

Even if she disparages her rebellious disciple, she has to admit that Qin Yu is not as fierce as he seems.

Isn’t Liu Zixiao, her good sister, an example?!

Even without seeing the scene, just by hearing those sounds, the Sect Leader knows what her sister is going through.

Damn rebellious disciple!

Does he not know how to cherish the fairer sex?!

Liu Zixiao watched the Sect Leader pacing back and forth in the room and shook her head slightly.

Can’t stay calm, huh.

Can’t even see such an obvious provocation from that rebellious disciple?!

Concern leads to chaos.

It seems... falling for him is only a matter of time.

It’s unclear how long it took for the Lifebound Space to finally quiet down.

Qin Yu originally planned to cultivate a bit, but then remembered the Guardian Yan Yu was still waiting outside the Sect Leader’s Cave Mansion.

It wouldn’t be good to leave her standing there, would it?!

Should he invite her into the Lifebound Space too?

Qin Yu pondered.

After obtaining the Lifebound Space, he confirmed one thing: that damn Rabbit Officer...

Ugh!

It’s Guardian Yan Yu, who has been watching him closely.

Perhaps it’s to fully ensure his safety, but undoubtedly, Yan Yu has already discovered some matters.

After all, during this time, the Root Bone of Lin Shuishui and Zhao Mengli has changed.

Yan Yu can even see through the Shield Array, she surely can’t miss such revelations.

This is not a trivial matter; Qin Yu finds it hard to imagine what would happen if news spread.

To ensure she keeps the secret...

Qin Yu activates the Celestial Eye in the Lifebound Space and gazes at Yan Yu.

Seeing her ears and tail, her image and aura change completely.

She looks like a silly rabbit-eared girl, with not a trace of mysterious aura left.

Qin Yu means no harm, he’s simply... curious.

Are those ears and tail real?!

He wants to ask the Hall Master if this Guardian can stay by his side permanently.

After hesitating, he takes out the Sound Transmission Stone given by the Hall Master.

"Hall Master."

Respect fills Qin Yu’s voice.

His reverence for the elderly Hall Master is deep-seated.

"Haha, it’s your first time contacting me since returning to Cyan Mountain Sect."

The voice of Hall Master Duanmu Hong comes through, seemingly pleased by his transmission.

After some polite small talk, Qin Yu says, "Hall Master, I have a presumptuous request."

"Speak without hesitation."

Duanmu Hong thinks Qin Yu is asking for resources.

Considering he has so many Dao Companions, it’s understandable he’d need resources.

"Hall Master, the one-year term is nearing its end. Could Yan Yu’s time be extended..."

Qin Yu’s request plunges Duanmu Hong into silence.

He’s aware of Yan Yu’s identity; this isn’t something he can decide, is it?!

"This matter depends on Yan Yu’s own decision."

Duanmu Hong speaks tactfully.

While saying it depends on Yan Yu’s decision, it’s more about the will of the supreme Empress.

Even Yan Yu cannot decide for herself.

Worried about Qin Yu’s safety, Duanmu Hong adds, "You needn’t worry; if Yan Yu leaves, I will arrange another Guardian for you."

"Thank you, Hall Master, actually... Yan Yu is pretty good."

Isn’t she?

It’s said that every Flame Guard of the Great Yan Immortal Country’s Empress has condensed more than seven Lotus Platforms!

Otherwise, how could they be extensions of the Empress’s will?!

Afterward, they chat for a bit more before ending the call.

Qin Yu looks at the Sound Transmission Stone in his hand.

He feels that the Hall Master is unaware of some of his situations, indicating Yan Yu has strong confidentiality skills and hasn’t reported anything?

This relieves Qin Yu.

That makes things much easier.

He exits the Lifebound Space, and even though Yan Yu is outside the cave, she instantly senses him, yet remains indifferent.

Qin Yu invites her into the cave mansion, letting her choose a room to stay in.

"Yan Yu, would you be willing to continue as my Guardian?"

As she is about to enter the room, Qin Yu suddenly asks.

Yan Yu turns around without responding directly.

The Empress hasn’t given clear instructions, but the issued task is yet unfinished.

She still doesn’t fully understand that unknown space.

So she asks, "Can you take me inside with you?"

"Well..."

Qin Yu feigns difficulty, saying, "Yan Yu, you know, it’s a realm I’ve opened up where only my Dao Companions enter..."

"Do I have to become your Dao Companion to enter?"

Yan Yu’s question leaves Qin Yu stunned.

No.

Little rabbit, are you this proactive?!

Even though they’ve been together for nearly a year, and perhaps he’s left few secrets before her, their verbal exchanges are surprisingly rare.

This... is quite abrupt, isn’t it?

Though intrigued, the situation feels like an awkward uncle trying to trick an innocent child, leaving Qin Yu with a strong sense of guilt.

Before he can respond, Yan Yu continues seriously, "Sister Yan Zhi warned me, saying I’m still young and should not reproduce offspring with you."

"Uh..."

Even Qin Yu can’t help but blush, feeling a bit heated in his cheeks.

Her words are rather straightforward!

The innocence is somewhat disconcerting.

"You’ve misunderstood; I have no such intention." Qin Yu hastily clarifies.

"As your Guardian, I must ensure your safety at all times, or I’d be neglecting my duty!"

Yan Yu is very earnest.

Qin Yu falls into contemplation.

He has a certain understanding of his Lifebound Space.

Inside the space, he’s like the absolute Dominator; with just a thought, anything inside can be instantly repelled.

It seems fitting to let Yan Yu try.

As for safety issues...

Yan Yu has been by his side for nearly a year; if she meant him harm, wouldn’t she have acted already?

As for secrets...

Well, it’s similar to safety.

"Alright then."

Since the little rabbit doesn’t mind, neither does Qin Yu.

He then reaches out to her.

Yan Yu hesitates for a moment before placing her small hand in his, feeling her hand being clasped.

"Whoosh!"

In the next moment, she feels a blinding flash and finds herself in a peculiar miniature world.

"Ah?!"

She lets out a soft cry, for in her perception, the world she’s now in is entirely different from the outside.

Spiritual Qi flows in from the outside, naturally showing no difference.

However, the... Tao within.

The rules here seem different from the outside.

They mainly appear clearer than those outside.

If one is cultivating in the Lotus Platform Realm here, it’s undoubtedly easier to achieve Enlightenment.
