Chapter 395 - 393: The Descent of the Flower Fairy
With the Empress Dowager's abilities, Qin Yu could almost never escape her perception unless he entered the Lifebound Space.
This transmission was likely deliberate on her part, simply to avoid Qin Yu spending too much time here on Lingtian Peak.
Of course, it might also be out of concern that the Empress would arrive and scold him and Lingtian Peak together?!
"Qin, Brother Qin, you go ahead."
Lingtian Peak wore a mournful expression, suddenly regretting coming to the Flower Language Building today.
However, if he hadn't come, he wouldn't have been able to see the legendary Flower Fairy...
Such a dilemma.
When Qin Yu returned to the upper elegant room, the Empress Dowager was already impatiently setting up the chessboard, ready to showcase her extraordinary skills.
Several of his delicate wives were also drawn over; earlier, when the Empress Dowager watched them play chess, she seemed like a reclusive master, her profound and inscrutable demeanor making none dare underestimate her.
"Empress Dowager, perhaps... another day?"
Qin Yu was somewhat troubled.
Even though everyone here was familiar, he still needed to maintain the Empress Dowager's dignity, right?!
Upon hearing this, Leng Ruyu inwardly tutted; others might not understand, but she comprehended the meaning behind Qin Yu's words.
This guy who loves to use sharp words actually dared to speak so indecently to the Immortal Country's Empress Dowager!
Could he have gone mad?
"Are you... afraid?"
The Empress Dowager, oblivious, curled her delicate lips into a proud smile, displaying an air of poised confidence, as if everything was under control.
This was the true prowess, relying solely on aura to make Qin Yu feel inferior!
Qin Yu shook his head slightly; indeed, he was afraid.
Afraid of sparing too much, fearing his delicate wives would notice.
If that happened, wouldn't it undermine the Empress Dowager's majesty?!
"Ah, she's here."
The Empress Dowager initially intended to take this opportunity to instruct Qin Yu, but the next moment, as if sensing something, she turned her gaze to the viewing platform.
Qin Yu also keenly captured the hint of an indescribable ambiance quietly permeating the heavens and earth, seemingly seeping into everything at that instant.
He stepped onto the viewing platform and looked outward.
The entire world seemed to quiet down; birds and cranes in mid-air gracefully descended onto the lotus leaves on the lake. Even the spirit fish within the lake appeared to have forgotten their swim, silently suspended in the water, blending seamlessly with the surrounding tranquility.
The once bustling and lively pavilion also plunged into silence, as if even time had frozen in this moment.
A gentle breeze blew through, and a faint floral fragrance filled the air.
At this moment, the ambiance seemed even more intense.
Qin Yu promptly activated the Celestial Eye, scanning every inch of space, yet discovering nothing unusual, only feeling a deeper connection to that unknown ambiance.
This ambiance seemed similar to the Power of Dao Rhyme, yet had differences.
Countless flowers seemed summoned, gently swaying and blooming in their respective splendor, gathering into a vibrant and colorful sea of flowers, causing rippling waves on the lake.
The lake, once calm, stirred up waves, glittering for a time.
Soon, several emerald green vines quietly emerged from the lake, weaving forward, causing clusters of fresh flowers to bloom where they touched, appearing as if given life.
Birds, cranes, and butterflies, once still, began to flutter gracefully, weaving a captivating and stunning picture.
"Wow..."
The captivating scenery left several delicate wives astounded; Lin Shuishui's small mouth hung open, even forgetting to put the spirit fruit into her mouth.
Although Qin Yu wasn't as visibly shaken, he was equally shocked deep down.
Perhaps only the Empress Dowager among them could discern some nuances, yet she didn't seem concerned, rather inclined to appreciate such beauty.
The entire area surrounding the Flower Language Building was shrouded in an inexplicable ambiance, as if draped in a dreamlike filter.
In the sky, colorful petals danced leisurely, unfettered, sketching dynamic scenes on the azure canvas, gradually gathering into resplendent rainbow steps.
Under numerous amazed gazes, amidst the sea of flowers, an exquisite and tender jade foot, seemingly composed of peach blossoms, stepped onto the petal steps.
This step, light and natural, not only tread upon the petals but also struck the hearts of countless men, causing ripples.
Petals swirled in the air, vaguely outlining an enchanting silhouette — a maiden truly able to be described as one who outshines the moon and flowers, who sinks fish and geese.
She donned a colorful robe woven from petals; her gauze sleeves gently fluttered like flowing colorful clouds. Her hair cascaded down like a waterfall, each strand seemingly radiating light and brilliance; her eyes resembled deep lakes, blue and clear, exuding endless vitality and purity.
Her skin, white as snow, gleamed with a faint lustrous sheen, akin to snowflakes fallen in early winter, as if meticulously carved from the finest mutton-fat jade.
At her appearance, the entire world seemed to dim; countless cultivators had a moment of distraction.
Amidst the rain of flowers, she stood quietly, like an exquisite landscape, invoking desire and completely captivating one's gaze.
Qin Yu originally thought no beauty could surpass his Sect Leader, moreover, there was the Empress Dowager, akin to a Fairy of the Cold Palace.
But never did he expect this Flower Fairy to be so divine, with every step birthing flowers, as if a true Flower Goddess descended into the mortal realm!
The Empress Dowager was initially absorbed in the rare spectacle. However, upon realizing Qin Yu's deeply focused gaze, a trace of alertness sprung up in her heart.
After all, Qin Yu is someone Little Ling'Er fancies!
Others might not know, but the Empress Dowager understood the Flower Fairy's origin; if Qin Yu were whisked away, what would happen to Little Ling'Er?!
"Hmph!"
The Empress Dowager snorted coldly; as she shifted her gaze to the Flower Fairy once more, a slight hint of caution involuntarily surfaced on her flawless face.
This Flower Fairy couldn't be allowed to allure Qin Yu away.
Hearing the cold snort, Qin Yu's mind withdrew from wandering, yet when he looked at the Flower Fairy, his eyes still carried a trace of inescapable bewilderment.
This really wasn't his fault; compared to the numerous cultivators around the Flower Language Building completely besotted by the Flower Fairy's grace, he was already considered quite restrained and composed.
In this moment, the celestial figure like a Flower Goddess had stepped onto the flower-strewn stairs, arriving on the boat in the center of the lake.
As petals danced, the Fairy's figure vanished without a trace.
"Esteemed Immortal Masters, if you wish to board the boat to witness the Fairy's visage, you need only pass a test."
In the midst of utter silence, a pleasant voice arose.
Suddenly, everyone's gaze was drawn over; having witnessed such a divine Fairy, every man likely wished to board the vessel.
Even if unable to earn her favor, merely approaching the Flower Fairy even a little would be gratifying. To discuss and brew tea with her would constitute a life's great fortune, enough to boast about for a lifetime.
Under countless watchful eyes, a graceful figure approached carrying a delicate flower pot.
In the flower pot, stood a dried twig.
A test?
What does it have to do with this flower pot?
For a moment, a touch of curiosity rose in everyone's heart.
Even Qin Yu couldn't quite decipher the intention behind this.
