Chapter 399 - 397: Fairy, Let Me Explain!
Above the horizon, the bright moonlight cascades like a waterfall, draping the Flower Fairy in a dreamlike silver veil, adding endless mystery and bestowing her with an extraordinary aura.
At this moment, time seems frozen, and the entire world is immersed in this dreamy and magical scene, silent and beautiful.
As her delicate hand lightly raises, crystal-clear water pearls gently cascade down, sliding like pearls.
The Flower Fairy slightly lifts her breathtakingly beautiful face, revealing exquisite jawline, and lightly closes her eyes as if savoring the tranquility of this moment.
In the small courtyard, various flower branches stretch freely, carrying a hint of a maiden’s shyness and modesty, adding a touch of vitality to this serene space.
Suddenly, an almost imperceptible breeze quietly sweeps across, bringing a subtle, elusive ripple.
The Flower Fairy’s Dai Mei lightly furrows, her keen intuition instantly capturing this subtle change.
However, she merely lifts her gaze, casually scanning the flowers and trees in the courtyard, yet finding no unusual movement.
The courtyard she resides in is far from being as simple as it appears on the surface.
Outside, it’s isolated by numerous arrays, preventing even the peak of Foundation Establishment giants from probing anything.
Inside the courtyard, flowers are in full bloom, each connected to the Flower Fairy in a wondrous way, making nothing inside escape her perception. Even a tiny mosquito cannot enter without disturbing her.
...
Where is this?!
Qin Yu looked bemused.
What met his eyes was a scene unfamiliar to him; flowers in full bloom in the courtyard confirmed to him that this was no longer the small courtyard within his Lifebound Space.
Suddenly, a trickling sound of water reached his ears, causing Qin Yu to involuntarily look in its direction, his pupils constricting in that instant.
Light gauze like a dream, thin as a cicada’s wing, lightly veiling a graceful figure like an orchid in the morning mist, mysterious and alluring. Water pearls slide off skin delicate and fine as the finest white jade, like pearls breaking off their string, scattering a splendor on the ground. Her neck is white as jade, soft and tender, as if sculpted with painstaking care by a craftsman, exuding a gentle luster. As her lotus-like arm lightly raises, a breathtaking beauty quietly reflects in view, captivating the heart.
Qin Yu stared in disbelief at the Flower Fairy descending like a fairyland.
He couldn’t comprehend why Instant Movement brought him here?!
This is simply not what he wanted!!!
Almost at the same time, within Jade Flower Palace.
Originally holding Little Ling’Er, the Empress Dowager lying bored on the bed seemed to sense something, suddenly uttering a soft sound.
"Qin Yu went out again? How come..."
The Empress Dowager’s small mouth slightly open, somewhat incredulous.
In Flower Language Building, Qin Yu acted normally, even when the Flower Fairy appeared, he merely admired her with a few glances, unlike other men who fought fiercely to board the boat.
Yet, how long has he been back, the people at Flower Language Building haven’t even left yet?!
How did Qin Yu run over there?
Moreover, how did he get over?
The Empress Dowager thought carefully, not sensing any fluctuation as Qin Yu left the Imperial Palace.
What the heck?!
"Cannot stay here..."
Qin Yu held his breath, not daring even to inhale, immediately wanting to flee the place.
After all, recklessly intruding someone else’s courtyard and coincidentally finding the Flower Fairy bathing; if truly discovered, he really couldn’t explain.
Thinking of this, Qin Yu hesitated no longer, but before leaving, he couldn’t help stealing another glance.
Just in time, the Flower Fairy’s figure gracefully moved, her beautiful legs stretching, the view fully captured.
Hiss!...
Who can withstand this?!
Qin Yu couldn’t help but take a sharp inhale.
He saw it!
He truly saw it!
That...
The Flower Fairy seemed to sense something, her delicate body suddenly stiffened, flower petals swirling around, instantly enveloping her form, concealing the splendid sight.
Two gazes intertwined, the pair seemingly stunned simultaneously.
The next moment.
The Flower Fairy’s pure and beautiful eyes held a trace of disbelief mixed with intense shame and anger.
This courtyard.
Even if the Great Yan Empress herself came, it was impossible to enter without disturbing her perception.
This awkwardly tailed stranger, facing her, when did he arrive here?!
How long has he been watching?
And how much did he see?
At this instant, time seemed to freeze, the air rendered solid.
Tail?
How can a human have a tail?!
The Flower Fairy snapped out of her daze, as her thoughts resumed, a terrifying fluctuation spread from her delicate body, instantaneously shrouding the entire courtyard.
Qin Yu’s expression changed drastically, a terrifying danger, reminiscent of that felt only from the Empress, surged in his heart.
"Fairy, listen to me, this is a misunderstanding."
Qin Yu wore a bitter expression.
Since the Flower Fairy’s appearance, he guessed this goddess-like maiden was far from ordinary, but he hadn’t imagined the latter’s strength was so terrifying.
"Boom!..."
The Flower Fairy’s face turned cold, with just a thought, petals swirled across the sky, each like a sharp sword qi aimed fiercely at Qin Yu’s location.
Simultaneously, countless branches and vines howled out, instantly piercing space, abruptly penetrating that region.
"Swish!"
In an instant, Qin Yu vanished from where he stood, lost from sight.
Gentle breeze blowing, flower petals slowly falling, vines all missing their mark.
"Gone?!"
The Flower Fairy was dressed in a new garment made of colorful petals, with beautiful eyes filled with anger and perplexity.
At the instant she sensed someone intruding, the array in the small courtyard was already activated, and even a pinnacle Foundation Establishment Realm existence couldn’t escape in a short time!
How did that man with a tail suddenly disappear?!
And vanished right under her eyes?
How is that possible?!
...
"Swish!"
This time, Qin Yu happened to land outside the Imperial Palace through instant movement and without hesitation, dove into his Lifebound Space.
"That was close!"
The scene just now was incredibly dangerous.
Without exaggeration, even a Foundation Establishment Realm expert wielding the Power of Dao Rhyme would be torn to shreds in an instant under such a terrifying assault, becoming fertilizer in the courtyard’s flowerbed.
Thankfully, there was instant movement.
Otherwise, even with the Lifebound Space, Qin Yu wouldn’t have been able to escape from that courtyard.
After all, the Lifebound Space can’t move!
...
"How could he disappear?!"
The Flower Fairy was still incredulous.
The instant Qin Yu vanished, petals, vines, even butterflies and birds, had plowed through the entire area inch by inch, yet still did not find the man with a tail.
Had it not been for some lingering aura in the air, the Flower Fairy would have wondered if everything just now was her illusion.
Who on earth was it?!
How dare they intrude in her courtyard!
And she had been bathing just now, obviously feared all her charms had been seen by that person.
Damn it!
"Boom!..."
The next moment, a terrifying aura suddenly emanated from the Flower Language Building as if an ancient creature had awakened, shaking the heavens and earth.
Throughout the Imperial Capital, countless flowers seemed to be drawn by an inexplicable force, swaying and releasing innumerable petals that danced, intertwined, transforming into an unbelievably splendid sea of flowers.
A graceful figure, akin to a Flower Goddess, stood above the sea of flowers, exuding an otherworldly aura amidst the light dance of petals around.
Yet, few dared to admire such beautiful scenery.
That graceful, stunning figure bore a supremely terrifying presence, enough to make Foundation Establishment Realm experts tense, and Lotus Platform Realm cultivators dare not breathe audibly.
The entire Imperial Capital was enveloped in a dreadful atmosphere of killing intent.
Countless petals floated like sharp blades, carrying a horrific cutting aura, rampaging as though searching for something.
"Flower...Flower Fairy?!"
Countless people gazed up at the blurry figure in the flower sea, eyes filled with terror.
"Who is so daring to infuriate the Flower Fairy?!"
Lingtian Peak originally planned to approach for a conversation, but feeling that dreadful intent, he retracted his neck and refrained from taking action.
Simultaneously, King of Thunder and other giants also perceived the anomaly, astonishment filling their hearts, and their gaze involuntarily turned towards the Imperial Palace.
However, that supreme Empress seemed uninterested in stepping out to intervene.
What puzzled them was, just who was it, and what had they done to provoke the Flower Fairy into such anger, and such strong killing intent?
Inside the Imperial Palace.
The Empress slightly lifted her eyelids, her gaze taking in the sky outside the palace.
As soon as Flower Fairy revealed her presence, the Empress noticed the anomaly, but she had a deep connection with the Flower Fairy, clearly understanding her true identity.
As long as the Flower Fairy doesn’t go overboard, the Empress can completely overlook it, even deliberately preventing the royal masters from investigating.
"Yan Zhi."
The Empress softly called.
"Your Majesty!"
"Investigate what happened."
She ordered.
She knew the Flower Fairy well and was equally curious, what had really happened to enrage this princess of the Elf Race so terribly.
Empress Dowager?!
Fortunately.
That auspicious beast was still in Jade Flower Palace.
The Empress slightly sighed in relief.
Lingtian Peak?
That fellow, despite being rash and hot-tempered, was quite perceptive, definitely refraining from provoking anyone beyond his capacity.
Then...
Who in the Imperial Capital holds the privilege to anger the Flower Fairy?!
Could there be hidden rats sneaking into the Imperial Capital?
This matter requires the Flame Guard Leader to personally investigate and clarify.
The Empress lightly caressed her forehead, lately burdened with trivial matters, yet she felt increasingly fatigued, sometimes unable to muster energy.
...
The vast sea of flowers hovered over the Flower Language Building, countless petals fell like raindrops.
Under the floral rain, the capital’s cultivators weren’t harmed in the slightest, the falling petals resembling spirit fish, drifting through the imperial city’s streets and alleys, seemingly searching for something.
Yet, nothing was found.
It seemed that person simply vanished into thin air.
