Cultivation: Starting from a Mortal Bone

Chapter 570 -522: Obviously, She Isn’t

“Not right?”

Chu Muyin’s pretty face flushed inexplicably.

Do they have to be like those two just now?!

When she came in, she saw Bai Yaosha being completely supported.

So closely pressed together?

No, no way!

Chu Muyin just felt a chill, absolutely unable to accept such intimate contact with a male, even if the other party was a master she admired.

“Princess can’t calm down?”

Qin Yu tried to guide her again, but she was still unable to focus her mind.

He detected Chu Muyin’s discomfort.

This princess might not show dislike and disgust like when she first met Tu Yaoyao, but her slight body movements clearly rejected contact.

“I…”

Chu Muyin bit her lip, feeling somewhat ashamed.

She could feel that Master Qin genuinely wanted to help her comprehend the array patterns, but in such a state, she really couldn’t calm down.

She… couldn’t do it.

“Then let’s wait until next time.”

Qin Yu released his hand without hesitation, not wanting to force her.

Her looks and figure indeed compare to those of his young wives; even her noble aura from the bloodline is particularly alluring.

But Qin Yu doesn’t like to demand.

Well… except for Tu Yaoyao.

“Sorry.”

Chu Muyin felt overwhelming guilt and wanted to leave.

She had considered that to win over Qin Yu, she might pay some price, but truly being in close proximity with a male, her heart had an indescribable resistance.

“I also need to return to the imperial palace. Let’s meet another day.”

Qin Yu noticed it was getting late, bid farewell, and left.

“Sigh…”

Watching his figure as he departed, Chu Muyin felt conflicted, wanting to hold him back, but ultimately resisted speaking.

Thinking of her father’s repeated advice, she regretted whether she overthought things and missed such a good opportunity for contact.

Chu Muyin considered when she would see Qin Yu next time, unable to calm herself down, and also left hurriedly.

Bai Yaosha looked puzzled.

The princess is truly strange; such an excellent opportunity to comprehend the ancient array, how many cultivators immersed in arrays long for it, yet she doesn’t cherish it?

Though that contact is indeed a bit shameful, as long as invested wholeheartedly in comprehension, what does it matter, at most just dampened clothes.

Compared to understanding the ancient array patterns, it is simply negligible.

However, Bai Yaosha seems to also understand.

Because Qin Yu is her brother-in-law, she naturally feels close; otherwise, she wouldn’t accept such intimacy from any other male.

“Sister, why did you return so early today?”

Upon Bai Yaosha’s return to the little courtyard, Bai Yaoyin glanced over.

Her sister did not seem as weary as usual; instead, she seemed refreshed, although her dress looked… as if she sweated again.

Perhaps the same as before?

If she could maintain this state with Qin Yu, then…

“Qin Yu helped me comprehend two array patterns.”

Bai Yaosha’s eyes dodged the gaze but did not hide anything.

After all, that posture was somewhat… apologetic to her sister.

But since solving a problem that troubled her for over a month, she felt much lighter, even sensing her spiritual power advanced slightly, perhaps soon her spiritual powers’ attainments could reach a meticulous level!

Before, Bai Yaosha could not imagine progressing so fast.

“Hmm, my husband… is strong, right?”

Bai Yaoyin’s eyes glinted slyly.

She knew Qin Yu’s preferences, her sister so beautiful, in such close contact.

As long as she persists… success is imminent!

However, her sister’s innocent nature undoubtedly won’t face this topic directly, Bai Yaoyin tested her a few times already without breaking it.

As for Qin Yu, she couldn’t bring it up again.

Mentioning it would move too fast, her body truly can’t withstand it.

“Sister, how are Princess Muyin and Qin Yu getting along?”

Bai Yaoyin shifted the topic, curiously asking.

“She…”

Bai Yaosha gently shook her head, unsure how to begin, only narrating the previous events.

“So reserved?”

Bai Yaoyin felt a bit disappointed.

Originally seeing Chu Muyin come all this way, she thought it was for just a chance.

But now it seemed to be not the case at all.

The princess’s reserved nature exceeded her imagination, making it seem more challenging than her sister.

…

Inside the private room.

Chu Muyin took out a transmission stone, and soon a majestic figure appeared in the image.

“Emperor Yan hasn’t received you two yet?”

Seeing his daughter still in a familiar room, Emperor Chu frowned.

After all, she is a princess of the Great Chu Royal Family, how could Emperor Yan be so impolite?!

However…

Considering his purpose, Emperor Chu felt somewhat guilty.

If it were himself, knowing the other party came to undermine his efforts, he wouldn’t allow them into the imperial palace so easily either.

Moreover, it’s said that Master Qin’s weakness is precisely there.

Hmph!

Emperor Yan must be afraid his daughter would take Master Qin away!

But even if they wield the hoe expertly, if they can’t even enter the Great Yan Imperial Palace, how can they proceed?

Damn Emperor Yan, truly uncompromising.

That is my future virtuous son-in-law!

“His Majesty Emperor Yan has not yet responded.”

Chu Muyin paused and said, “Father, I saw Master Qin today.”

“Oh?”

Emperor Chu had a hint of worry between his brows a moment ago, but upon hearing this, his eyes immediately brightened, and he asked, “How was Master Qin’s attitude?”

“He…”

Recalling their previous encounter, a blush flashed across Chu Muyin’s charming cheeks, like the light of dawn, incredibly beautiful.

Seeing his beloved daughter in a shy state, Emperor Chu suddenly felt somewhat uneasy in his heart.

It felt like fresh produce was being taken by a pig.

However, thinking of Qin Yu’s abilities, the old father thought, this might not be a bad thing.

After all, sending Chu Muyin was precisely for this reason, wasn’t it?

This conflicting mindset didn’t last too long.

“Is he willing to come to Great Chu with you?”

Emperor Chu impatiently asked.

“I haven’t spoken with Master Qin about that yet.”

Chu Muyin replied.

She’s thought of various ways to communicate with Qin Yu, but what Great Chu Immortal Country could offer, the Great Yan Royal Family had already bestowed.

She simply couldn’t think of a better way.

“Why? Is Emperor Yan also there?”

Emperor Chu frowned.

Although Emperor Yan values this Master Qin greatly, he shouldn’t restrict the other’s freedom like this, should he?

“No, it’s not that.”

Chu Muyin quickly explained; the other had merely coincidentally come to the Carefree Pavilion to repair the ancient array.

Regarding this, Emperor Chu wasn’t surprised.

Once he did think the Carefree Pavilion was exaggerating, but after personally witnessing Qin Yu casually set up the Star Prison Array, such doubts immediately disappeared.

The difficulty of the Star Prison Array far exceeds the remnant array left by the Bai Family in the Carefree Pavilion.

Emperor Qin could repair the ancient array for the Carefree Pavilion, but he couldn’t fully comprehend the Star Prison Array, even when joining forces with the array masters in his seat, they still couldn’t completely set up the Star Prison Array.

“So, you haven’t had contact with him yet?”

Emperor Chu felt somewhat disappointed.

After experiencing the destruction of the ancient array in the Cangsha Hall, he was very aware of the importance of a master who controls the Star Prison Array, not to mention the other’s ability to purify malice.

“Just a bit.”

Chu Muyin bit her lip slightly, unsure how to start.

She couldn’t say that Master Qin held her hand; Father would definitely misunderstand.

Seeing this, Emperor Chu didn’t ask more, giving some advice and then hastily ending the transmission.

As long as there has been contact, it’s a good thing.

These matters cannot be rushed, and being too aggressive might stimulate Emperor Yan instead.

If Qin Yu is brought back, Emperor Yan might come knocking the next day with auspicious signs.

Thus, it requires a gradual approach, and it’s best to fully draw Qin Yu into their fold.

Perhaps then Qin Yu might speak for him, Emperor Chu thought, considering Emperor Yan’s reaction. The smile on Emperor Chu’s old face grew more pronounced.

Chu Muyin held the transmission stone, speechless for a long time.

Nearby, Chu Liuya stood like a stone sculpture, silent.

She was only responsible for protecting her thoroughly.

No matter what happened, she would exert her utmost to escort Chu Muyin to the border of Great Chu.

As for anything else, even though she wanted to share her niece’s burden, she simply didn’t understand.

“Aunt, have you ever had contact with a man?”

Chu Muyin asked, looking at the other, clueless.

“Yes.”

Chu Liuya slightly opened her beautiful eyes and answered faintly.

“Really?”

Chu Muyin was somewhat surprised.

This aunt was dedicated to the path, never had she heard of her having any interaction with any man.

Being the leader of the Chu Guard only made others keep their distance from her.

“The Prince of Great Qian Immortal Country once gave me a strike.”

Chu Liuya said seriously, with dangerous gleams in her pitch-black eyes.

“Huh?”

“And then?”

Chu Muyin was stunned, seemingly mismatched with what she thought.

“I left his hand behind.”

Chu Liuya gently placed her hand on the sword hilt at her waist, her tone was calm.

“…”

Chu Muyin immediately abandoned the idea of continuing the inquiry.

What she referred to as contact wasn’t that!

Qin Yu approached with concern, using Spiritual Power to guide, resulting in physical contact.

She couldn’t possibly cut off the master’s hand, could she?

Probably even without Emperor Yan’s suggestion, Father would be furiously angry.

Chu Liuya felt that her niece wasn’t right, clearly having concerns.

If it was the path of cultivation, or a question about critical strikes, she could explain every detail.

But clearly, it wasn’t.

Chu Liuya wished to help her obedient and sensible niece but didn’t know how to start, so she could only stand silently behind her, indicating no matter what happens, your aunt will be there to protect you.

Feeling the cold evil qi from behind, Chu Muyin couldn’t help recalling the scene in the top floor.

When Qin Yu approached, there was an extremely warm feeling emanating from him; the temperature of that large hand seemed to still linger on her wrist.

Just…

The scene of Qin Yu and Bai Yaosha together had impacted her greatly.

That kind of contact was truly embarrassing.

Yet, thinking of Father’s advice, along with the allure of comprehending the ancient array, Chu Muyin couldn’t help but feel somewhat conflicted.

With neither Father nor Aunt to communicate with, perhaps she should reach out more to the Bai Family girl obsessed with arrays.
