Cultivation: Starting from a Mortal Bone

Qin Yu gently advised, ”Today, you should stabilize your Spiritual Power for now and not rush into comprehending the Array Patterns.”

With that said, he didn’t linger.

He’s not a saint; he can’t always hold back.

If he accidentally breaks the thin layer of constraint...

That wouldn’t be good.

Bai Yaosha nodded solemnly upon hearing his words.

”My sister has a really good eye.”

After a long while, Bai Yaosha finally retracted her gaze from the now-calm screen of light and whispered softly.

If it weren’t for her close relationship with Qin Yu, how could she receive guidance from such a Master?

Such an opportunity...

Is truly rare.

If Qin Yu were not around, she would have had no chance to comprehend and perfect the Array Patterns in such a short time, nor would her breakthrough in Spiritual Power have been this fast.

Bai Yaosha pondered for a short while and decided to heed Qin Yu’s advice, choosing not to stubbornly continue comprehending the Array Patterns.

It’s better to take a rest first.

”Hmm?”

However, as soon as she moved, Bai Yaosha immediately noticed something unusual.

It seemed like once again...

Why is it that every time I receive guidance from Qin Yu, I become so embarrassing?!

Bai Yaosha lightly bit her curvy lips, feeling a strong surge of shame in her heart.

At her age, how could she still...

Sigh.

Luckily, Qin Yu didn’t notice anything unusual; otherwise, it would have been extremely embarrassing.

Bai Yaosha gently pressed her legs together, slowly moving towards the direction of the room.

She pushed open the door.

Inside, the room was no longer as tidy as usual; on the edges of the tables and chairs, there appeared to be some rainwater, and on the disordered bed lay a graceful silhouette.

Bai Yaoyin’s face still bore a rosy blush, her breathing was even, and she was deeply asleep.

It seemed she was completely exhausted.

Looking at her sister’s tired sleeping face, Bai Yaosha couldn’t help but feel a hint of bewilderment.

Is it really... that exhausting?

In fact, within the clan, when she was forced into marriage, she had received some... knowledge in this area.

So, it wasn’t like she knew nothing.

But...

Wasn’t the clan’s nanny saying that men were the ones who have it hard?

However, earlier Qin Yu seemed to be quite refreshed, so why was her sister so worn out?

Bai Yaosha glanced at the messy room and, after a bit of hesitation, thoroughly cleaned it up, making herself feel a bit more comfortable.

But as soon as she sat next to her sister, a strange scent made her feel somewhat uneasy again.

”Sister.”

Bai Yaoyin sensed the movement, opened her eyes slightly, and clung to her like an octopus.

The quilt slid off, revealing a patch of fair, tender skin.

”You!”

Bai Yaosha lightly scolded, this girl was becoming more and more shameless.

”Huh, what’s wrong, sister?”

As Bai Yaosha lay on those long, slender beautiful legs, she seemed to feel a bit of...

Dampness.

”I...”

Bai Yaosha’s lovely face turned red; how could she know what was wrong?

How to explain this, is she supposed to say that she...

...

As Qin Yu returned to Huayang Hall, the Empress Dowager looked at him with a peculiar gaze, her lovely nose wrinkling slightly as if she smelled something strange.

Then, her eyes narrowed slightly.

This guy, he went to see that Bai Chief Steward in broad daylight?

That doesn’t seem right.

It feels like there’s another woman’s scent.

”Brother Qin Yu.”

Upon seeing Qin Yu return, Little Ling’Er instantly walked over, holding his hand, her face beaming with joy.

It was as if she was holding her entire world.

”Tired from playing?”

Qin Yu gently tapped her jade-like nose.

Facing this girl who looked like a porcelain doll, he genuinely liked her from the bottom of his heart.

Simply seeing her smile brought a special kind of comfort.

However, as the Princess wrapped her arms around him, Qin Yu felt a bit uneasy.

Especially when the girl winked at him.

This is trouble!

While enjoying it, he also felt a surge of resentment.

He blamed Lin Shuishui and Zhao Mengli, those two young girls, for even corrupting such a pure Little Ling’Er.

The Empress Dowager initially wanted to ask about the strange scent on Qin Yu, but seeing the intimacy between Little Ling’Er and Qin Yu, she opened her mouth, then shut it again.

Looking at this pair of lovely people... they were such a good match.

Unfortunately, such a pair of beautiful people still couldn’t be together.

All because of that foolish emperor!

He insists that in a few years’ time, what if there was a crisis?

In Qin Yu’s little space, there were two foxes watching like tigers eyeing their prey!

The Empress Dowager stayed until nearly dusk, still showing no intention of returning.

”Empress Dowager, Ling’Er is sleepy.”

Little Ling’Er yawned, a little reluctant.

”How did it get dark already.”

The Empress Dowager mumbled to herself, only then realizing it was already late. Looking at their appearances, her determination grew stronger.

This palace must protect Little Ling’Er and Qin Yu.

”That foolish monarch, adamantly refusing to let me accompany them, really infuriating!”

She lifted her foot irritably and kicked. An innocent pebble flew out with a whizz, drawing an arc of indignation through the air. She continued muttering, as if it wasn’t a stone she had kicked, but the Empress.

In her heart, the Empress was becoming more and more muddled!

If it weren’t for her, the wise Empress Dowager guarding them, Qin Yu would have long been deceived by those two foxes.

By then, there’d be nowhere to cry.

...

In the Lifebound Space.

The moment Qin Yu appeared with Little Ling’Er, the little fox Tu Jiujiu immediately noticed.

Originally bored, her eyes suddenly sparkled, and she instantly stood up.

The Beauty Clan Leader furrowed her brows, intending to stop her, but upon seeing Little Ling’Er clinging to Qin Yu, she recalled what the Empress Dowager had just said.

Inexplicably, she abandoned the thought.

She had long known Little Ling’Er’s identity.

But because she was too young, her body hadn’t matured, and in some aspects, she was somewhat smaller than Tu Jiujiu.

However, precisely because of this petite stature, Little Ling’Er appeared more spiritually charming, resembling a porcelain doll, exquisite, pure, and endearing.

And seeing Qin Yu with a look of enjoyment mixed with pain, it was obvious he hadn’t made a move on this Princess of Great Yan.

The Beauty Clan Leader was somewhat puzzled.

From what she knew of Qin Yu, this guy was simply a...

Such a beautiful young girl clinging to him, and he held back?

Ha!

It must be because he feared Little Ling’Er’s identity and that the Empress Dowager and the Empress might treat him harshly.

Yes, it must be that!

She couldn’t afford to be careless.

Although he feared the Great Yan Empress, he did not show the appropriate respect towards her, the Qingqiu Clan Leader.

It’s really infuriating.

Does he think her status is lower than that of the Great Yan Empress?

Although her combat power might be slightly inferior to the Empress, as the Qingqiu Fox Race’s Clan Leader, possessing the tribe’s supreme treasure, the Empress might not necessarily be able to do anything to her.

And this junior human cultivator dared to discriminate!

The more the Beauty Clan Leader thought about it, the more resentful she became. Why did he only respect the Empress Dowager and the Empress, but not herself as Clan Leader?

She was very displeased and frowned even more at the enthusiastic behavior of Tu Jiujiu, calling out sternly, ”Jiujiu!”

This little fox had been told countless times to be careful, yet she still acted as if offering herself for nothing, making her grandma furious!

However, Tu Jiujiu seemed entirely oblivious to the Clan Leader’s call, firmly throwing herself into Qin Yu’s arms.

”Brother Qin Yu, Jiujiu missed you.”

Tu Jiujiu’s cheek snuggled affectionately against Qin Yu’s chest.

If it weren’t for Little Ling’Er being nearby, the little fox would probably have clung to him entirely.

She was inherently simple, liking what she liked, without deliberately concealing her feelings.

Qin Yu naturally embraced Tu Jiujiu. Compared to Little Ling’Er, Jiujiu’s charm always inadvertently incited some unwholesome thoughts in him.

Beside him, Little Ling’Er’s eyes were clear, showing no hint of jealousy.

She could sense that Brother Qin Yu liked Tu Jiujiu a lot, and this liking was somewhat different from how he liked her.

However, Qin Yu did not lessen his affection toward her because of Tu Jiujiu’s presence.

Being able to be by Brother Qin Yu’s side like this, Little Ling’Er was very content.

”Jiujiu, come over here quickly?!”

The Beauty Clan Leader watched Qin Yu’s tail wag and felt a surge of crisis, frowning and lightly scolding.

Tu Jiujiu ignored her, for although only a day had passed in the outside world, it had been a day and a night since she had last seen Qin Yu in the Lifebound Space.

At this moment, she only wanted to get closer.

”Jiujiu, come down now. Your sister is here too.”

Qin Yu also felt a surge of heat, not daring to move rashly.

The Beauty Clan Leader’s expression darkened.

What did this guy mean?

Does he think he can act recklessly with the little fox when the Clan Leader isn’t here?

”No.”

Tu Jiujiu shook her head repeatedly, greedily taking in Qin Yu’s scent.

Perhaps due to the Nascent Soul’s influence, every time she got close to Qin Yu, she felt more in tune with nature.

”Ling’Er, go bathe and rest first.”

Catching a glimpse of the Beauty Clan Leader’s threatening look from the corner of his eye, Qin Yu’s lips curled into a faint smile.

Little Ling’Er, really quite tired, let go of Qin Yu’s hand with a soft response.

Unlike Tu Jiujiu, who had no worries, little as she was, she had learned a lot from Lin Shuishui and the others.

Even if she longed for it, she never expressed it, never asking Brother Qin Yu to help her bathe.

Because Brother Qin Yu had said many times that they have to wait two more years.

”Brother Qin Yu, you can hold me, can’t you?”

As soon as Little Ling’Er walked away, Tu Jiujiu immediately climbed into Qin Yu’s embrace, her soft and delicate voice impossible to refuse.

In the face of the Beauty Clan Leader’s gloomy gaze, Qin Yu naturally held Tu Jiujiu, even worried she might slip, and deliberately...

Ensured that the little fox sat more securely.

”Outrageous!”

The Beauty Clan Leader’s face turned to stone, her body trembling with anger.

This vile human dared to bully the little fox right in front of the Clan Leader?

Did he think the Clan Leader doesn’t exist!

Utterly outrageous!

”He knows his limits, no need to worry excessively.”

Just as the Beauty Clan Leader’s fury was about to erupt, a figure even more splendid than hers appeared.

Startled, the Beauty Clan Leader glanced aside.

This seemed to be the teacher’s wife of the young cultivator?

What on earth had she eaten to become even bigger than herself? Moreover, her form was so graceful!
