Cultivation: Starting from a Mortal Bone

”Your Majesty, Ling’Er... seems very close to Qin Yu.”

The Empress Dowager hesitated a bit, then spoke ambiguously and hesitantly.

”Close?”

The Empress was greatly surprised.

Even among some of the royal relatives, Ling’Er kept a certain distance, not quite distance but certainly not close.

The only ones she was close to were her, and the Empress Dowager.

But now, she was close to a stranger she had just met?!

And a man at that.

The Empress’s eyebrows slightly furrowed.

As a ruler, she certainly didn’t mind how many Dao Companions those beneath her married, but if it’s her own sister getting close to such a person, then it’s a different matter altogether.

Look at who are among Qin Yu’s Dao Companions.

Sister-in-law?

Teacher’s wife?

Master?

Goodness, not sparing anyone around, even Yan Yu had already...

There’s no choice.

After all, if not healed in time, there’s a risk of Yan Yu falling.

How could the Empress possibly allow her sister to get close to Qin Yu?!

But...

According to the Empress Dowager, the closer Ling’Er was to Qin Yu, the calmer the two kinds of Dao Rhymes within her body became.

The Empress knew her sister’s condition well.

That kind of torment is hard to put into words, even getting a good night’s sleep was a luxury for Ling’Er.

And now, such an opportunity presented itself, should she cruelly let her sister return to those days?

Struggle was inevitable.

But ultimately, the Empress made a decision, ”Keep an eye on Ling’Er.”

”Also, keep an eye on Qin Yu!”

”Would my actions make you uneasy? I would never let Ling’Er out of my sight!”

The Empress Dowager spoke with unwavering confidence.

The more she did so, the more worried the Empress became.

Though she reminded the Empress Dowager to maintain a dignified and stately demeanor, based on her understanding of the Empress Dowager... she feared that the Dowager had already committed quite a few improprieties?!

Instead of worrying about Ling’Er,

The Empress was more concerned about... the Empress Dowager.

Qin Yu was indeed unusual, but his interests were abundantly clear, and the Empress Dowager was undeniably attractive.

Thankfully, upon hearing the Empress Dowager describe Qin Yu’s proper behavior, the Empress felt somewhat reassured.

After hanging up the transmission, the Empress Dowager felt a bit smug.

Today, that Tyrant did not scold her!

Comforting!

Under the satin quilt, the Empress Dowager changed into new clothes, just as always, to keep Little Ling’Er warm.

The next day.

Little Ling’Er’s eyelashes fluttered, as she opened her eyes.

”Empress Dowager, is Brother Qin Yu out yet?”

Looking at the twilight of dawn, Little Ling’Er seemed worried about missing time to spend with Qin Yu.

The Empress Dowager held her tightly in her arms, gently shook her head, and said, ”Little Ling’Er, you can still sleep a little more.”

”Ling’Er wants to see Brother Qin Yu early.”

Little Ling’Er did not hide her feelings.

She simply loved being around Qin Yu, the feeling of complete relaxation was something she had never experienced before.

”You, ah.”

The Empress Dowager gently caressed Little Ling’Er’s cheek, feeling a pain that couldn’t be fully expressed.

How she wished she could be like Qin Yu, simply being by Little Ling’Er’s side, holding her little hand, could help alleviate her pain.

Compared to the day before, Little Ling’Er’s symptoms had noticeably lessened last night.

If this continued long-term, perhaps she might fully recover.

As she pondered...

”Brother Qin Yu is here.”

Little Ling’Er suddenly sat up, and in the gap of the quilt, a breathtaking scene hidden within was exposed to the air.

Such extravagance would even be considered more excessive than an enchanting teacher’s wife!

The Empress Dowager’s senses instantly expanded outward, she finally noticed Qin Yu’s aura had appeared in the room.

Little Ling’Er hadn’t cultivated before, naturally unaware of sensory perception, yet she immediately noticed when Qin Yu appeared, demonstrating just how much impact Qin Yu had on her.

”How peculiar, where’s Little Yan Yu now?”

The Empress Dowager gently wrapped her gown around herself, dressing Little Ling’Er neatly, feeling quite satisfied with Qin Yu for coming out so early today, not making Ling’Er, or her, wait too long.

However, Yan Yu’s absence left her puzzled.

The day before, movement was difficult.

Yesterday, couldn’t sit down most of the day, why hadn’t he come today?!

Did something happen again last night?

After tidying up the bed, the Empress Dowager leisurely stretched her body, in her languor there was an unintentional elegance, the Great Phoenix at the front oscillated as though defying gravity, soaring and swaying in the air.

Unfortunately, such a beautiful sight, Little Ling’Er didn’t know how to appreciate.

”Go open the door.”

Guessing at Little Ling’Er’s longing, the Empress Dowager encouraged her.

”Alright!”

Upon hearing this, Little Ling’Er was overjoyed, promptly responded and ran to open the door.

The door opened, revealing Qin Yu standing there.

Regrettably.

The Empress Dowager, whether by some mysterious method or not, instantly donned incredibly dignified and luxurious attire, concealing the unintentional display of extraordinary elegance beneath layer upon layer of rich garments.

”Empress Dowager.”

”Princess.”

As Qin Yu stepped into the room, he was greeted by the Princess’s smiling eyes, looking at the little one under the morning glow, appearing like a celestial being, involuntarily, a smile formed at the corner of his lips.

”No need for formalities anymore, come on over.”

The Empress Dowager gestured with a few casual marks in her tone.

After these two days together, she had well overcome the initial unfamiliarity with Qin Yu, even quietly accepting him as a pleasing acquaintance in her heart.

”Yes.”

Qin Yu extended his palm to Little Ling’Er, who naturally and immediately took hold of his hand.

In an instant, Little Ling’Er’s formerly slightly pale cheeks rapidly turned rosy with health.

The unloading of burdens brought her pure contentment, involuntarily letting out a soft sigh, her frowning brows instantly relaxed.

Her pure and flawless face blossomed with a sweet smile, under the morning glow, the delicate maiden, just like a porcelain doll, a young girl adorned with beauty as if a fairy entering the mundane.

”How remarkable!”

Even though not witnessing it for the first time, the Empress Dowager could not help but be filled with admiration.

She even desired to experience it herself, what magic Qin Yu’s palm exactly held.

Finally, she restrained herself, yet continued, getting some Spirit Fruits while urging, ”Quick, tell the story again!”

Little Ling’Er had slept well the entire night.

But the Empress Dowager had remained awake, continually ruminating on the narrative of the Journey to the West, so much that she could hardly wait.

Of course, Qin Yu dared not defy the Empress Dowager’s orders.

”The Great Saint lifted the Ruyi Stick, preparing to battle the hundred thousand celestial soldiers and generals...”
