Chapter 412 - 410: Arrival of the Flower Fairy
Is someone singing?!
Little Ling’Er looked bewildered, and upon hearing Zhao Mengli’s explanation, her face instantly turned red with embarrassment.
When Qin Yu appeared again beside Little Ling’Er, he noticed that the previously innocent girl seemed to have undergone a subtle change.
The originally clear gaze now carried a hint of shyness when looking at him.
She stood there petite, like a bride waiting for her veil to be lifted, bashful yet with a hint of anticipation.
Lin Shuishui and Zhao Mengli exchanged glances, giggling as they walked away, leaving space for the two.
Seeing their expressions, Qin Yu suddenly realized.
These two little wives really enjoy pulling people into their schemes as always!
This one is a Princess, and such a lively and pure girl; do you truly feel no guilt at all?!
"Ling’Er, don’t listen to their nonsense, some things will have to wait a few years..."
Qin Yu opened his mouth, to be honest, facing such a pure girl like a fairy, it is impossible not to be moved.
But, she is indeed still too young.
However, before he could finish his sentence, Little Ling’Er, gathering courage from nowhere, suddenly threw herself into Qin Yu’s arms.
"Brother Qin Yu, I’m not little anymore."
Little Ling’Er, timidly burying her head in Qin Yu’s embrace, her soft voice carried a hint of determination, as though she had made up her mind.
Saying this, her petite body seemed to stick closer to Qin Yu, trying to prove something.
"Hiss!..."
Qin Yu gasped, his arms tightened slightly, holding the small figure firmly in his embrace, preventing her from moving.
What on earth did she hear from Lin Shuishui and the others that turned her into this?!
"Brother Qin Yu, I want... to be cured."
Little Ling’Er’s body couldn’t move, but she tilted her small face up, her clear eyes filled with expectation.
"No way!"
With his strong willpower, Qin Yu looked away, faced with such a pure Little Ling’Er, he was struggling to hold back.
"Be patient, wait a little longer, and when the time is right, I’ll try."
Seeing Little Ling’Er’s tearful gaze, Qin Yu’s heart was about to break. After soothing her a bit, he fled the scene.
But Little Ling’Er, looking at Qin Yu’s hurried departure, showed no sign of disappointment; instead, her smile blossomed like a flower.
So beautiful it was breathtaking.
She stood there quietly, the light in her eyes growing brighter, as if holding a galaxy.
Brother Qin Yu’s reaction was exactly as Lin Shuishui and the others had said.
And that strange sensation earlier, is that what Lin Shuishui and the others called...
Tang Monk’s Flesh?!
Little Ling’Er pursed her lips slightly, her clear eyes seemed to flicker with mischief and agility, who knows what the girl was thinking.
After a moment.
Not far away, the small courtyard echoed with the pleading voices of Lin Shuishui and Zhao Mengli.
These two little wives were absolutely unruly; if they weren’t taught a lesson today for dragging the Princess into their schemes, who knows if tomorrow they’ll involve the Empress Dowager?!
This time.
Yin Qinghe didn’t help, instead she walked leisurely with Little Ling’Er in the Lifebound Space with a weary body.
Even Lin Qianqian.
Only quietly watched her husband teach her sister, with no intention of intervening.
It was only after Lin Shuishui and Zhao Mengli pleaded several times, exhausted, that Lin Qianqian stepped forward to embrace her husband.
"Brother-in-law, I’m going to tell Ling’Er you bullied us!"
"Yes, the Empress Dowager really cares for us, I’m also going to tell the Empress Dowager."
Lin Shuishui and Zhao Mengli clearly knew that Qin Yu couldn’t bear to hurt them, despite having lost all strength, they still stoked the fire on the side.
Sure enough, upon hearing the words Empress Dowager, Qin Yu was like a BUFF-enhanced being, attacking faster.
Lin Qianqian suddenly regretted a little.
Why did she sympathize with her sister so much, had she known they were this mischievous, she should have let them endure more, so they could quickly enhance their root bone.
"Why haven’t they come out yet?"
"Could Little Ling’Er be hurt?"
"All because of the Empress, if that useless ruler hadn’t intervened, how could Little Ling’Er have been bullied!"
In the morning, the Empress Dowager hurried to Huayang Hall, but waited and waited without seeing Qin Yu and the others emerge, pacing anxiously, her gaze often directed at the Main Hall.
Lanshi and the four palace maids stood respectfully by her side, not daring to breathe heavily.
In front of Qin Yu, the Empress Dowager had no airs at all; however, in the eyes of the palace maids, the Empress Dowager was second only to the Empress, deserving full respect.
"Empress Dowager."
Just as the Empress Dowager was burning with anxiety, a pleasant voice suddenly came from the direction of the Main Hall.
"You all may leave now."
The Empress Dowager waved to Lanshi and the others, her figure moving like a silver glow, appearing inside the great hall.
"Little Ling’Er, are you alright?"
The Empress Dowager’s beautiful eyes were filled with concern, her gaze inspecting the petite figure before her.
Today Little Ling’Er looked rosy, seemingly healthier than before she went in yesterday.
The most important thing was, her walking did not seem unnatural; however, the Empress Dowager still felt unsure, intending to reach out and check.
"Empress Dowager."
Little Ling’Er’s charming face turned red, she quickly grasped the Empress Dowager’s arm lightly.
After Lin Shuishui and Zhao Mengli instilled some strange knowledge in her, she had some understanding and naturally saw what the Empress Dowager was worried about.
"Qin Yu didn’t do anything to you?"
The Empress Dowager seemed incredulous, and the heart she had originally had on hold finally settled down.
She had seen some things with her own eyes, and if anything really happened, with Little Ling’Er’s delicate body, she surely wouldn’t be in such a good state.
At the very least, walking would be difficult.
"Brother Qin Yu would never bully me."
Little Ling’Er explained softly, she still hoped the Empress Dowager wouldn’t worry about her, but saying this, she still felt a small pang of disappointment in her heart.
Clearly, Lin Shuishui and Zhao Mengli were not much older than her, so why could they do things while she couldn’t?
"That is very good."
The Empress Dowager nodded with satisfaction. Upon seeing Qin Yu appear with his several charming wives, she gave him an approving look.
No wonder he’s a man recognized by this palace. What he promised, he indeed kept his word.
It seemed that I really misunderstood Qin Yu before.
However, she couldn’t be blamed, for Qin Yu always looked at her as if he wanted to devour her.
In the following period, Qin Yu continued to maintain a good routine, practicing cultivation every day, and his cultivation was growing rapidly.
However, as time passed, Qin Yu’s speed in refining Spirit Stones significantly increased.
There was no other reason than the day the Flower Fairy set was approaching.
Over the past month, Qin Yu wanted to take his charming wives out several times, but the thought of the Flower Fairy lurking outside the palace forced him to dismiss the idea.
Who knows if Bai Yaoyin at the Carefree Pavilion missed him?
After all, he hadn’t visited for a month; she should be anxious by now, right?
And indeed, that was the case.
Since the end of the Flower Festival, Qin Yu had disappeared, inevitably making Bai Yaoyin anxious.
Could it be that this youngest tributor of Great Yan was attracted by the beauty of the Flower Fairy and thus lost interest in leisurely visiting the Carefree Pavilion?
According to those four young girls, although Qin Yu often acted, they were still virgins.
How can that be!
With just this relationship, how could they hold onto a royal court tributor?
Bai Yaoyin reported this matter to the powers behind her, and the other side asked her to personally visit Qin Yu in the palace...
Isn’t this sending herself to his door?!
Bai Yaoyin was very conflicted.
Although the royal court tributor had a noble status, she didn’t want to offer herself to a libidinous tributor.
Thus, the matter was put on hold, and she had no intention of visiting Qin Yu.
After all, even as a tributor, he was just a Golden Core Cultivator; how special could he be?
On this day.
The flowers in the garden were exceptionally beautiful, and their fragrance was intoxicating.
Originally, Qin Yu was discussing chess with the Empress Dowager when his expression suddenly changed.
This feeling...
Could it be that the Flower Fairy has arrived?!
"Don’t rush. She’s still entangled with the Empress in the Imperial Study."
The Empress Dowager focused intently on the chess game and casually remarked, seeming to sense that the intense gaze on the Great Phoenix had disappeared.
"Did she really come?"
Qin Yu was thoroughly distracted now.
A month’s time, wasn’t that too fast?
But what should come, always comes.
Near noon, as petals danced in the air, two figures appeared in Huayang Hall.
Qin Yu had already sent his charming wives back to the Lifebound Space, leaving only the Empress Dowager and Little Ling’Er by his side.
"Your Majesty."
"Fairy."
Qin Yu bowed in respect, his gaze slightly lowered.
"Hmph!"
The Flower Fairy merely snorted coldly, already guessing the outcome seeing Qin Yu’s guilty appearance.
The Empress nodded slightly, not in a hurry to speak.
She had helped Qin Yu buy some time, but some matters ultimately needed him to face.
However, just now in the Imperial Study, the Empress had already stated that the Flower Fairy would have concerns and might impose some light punishment, but would not disgrace him too much.
After all, Qin Yu was a Great Yan Tributor, so he naturally had to consider the Great Yan Royal Family’s dignity.
"The month’s time has arrived."
The Flower Fairy remained as ethereal and unparalleled as ever. Whether she was concerned about being seen by Qin Yu or not, a few petals floated around her, making her, already stunningly beautiful, look like a fairy stepping out from a painting, graceful and enchanting.
"What? You want to take Qin Yu?"
Before Qin Yu could speak, the Empress Dowager already stood in front of him, looking at the Flower Fairy with a wary expression.
Even Little Ling’Er clung tightly to Qin Yu’s arm, her delicate face unusually determined.
Seeing their defensive stances, the Flower Fairy felt a pang of sadness.
She did not have much interaction with the Empress Dowager and the Princess, but they had always treated each other with respect.
To the Flower Fairy, the Empress and the two others were among her few friends in the Human Race.
Now, they were willing to turn against her for a little rogue?!
