Cultivation: Starting from a Mortal Bone

Chapter 584: Chapter 536: Does Aunt Want to Try Too?

Carefree Pavilion.

”Husband, why don’t you avoid going to the top floor for the next few days?”

Bai Yaoyin nestled against that sturdy chest, with a hint of worry in her beautiful eyes.

”Why?”

Qin Yu was somewhat surprised.

This delicate wife of his usually wished he would get closer to his sister-in-law, hoping for more allies.

Why the change of heart today?

”My sister told me.”

Bai Yaoyin sighed softly and said, ”My sister said that Princess Mu Yin’s aunt is also there, and it seems she’s in a bad mood.”

After all, the other party is the Commander of the Chu Guard, and officially here to protect the Princess, she couldn’t refuse her entry to the top floor as the Chief Steward of the Carefree Pavilion.

”Oh?”

Qin Yu’s lips curled into a slight smile.

If the proverbial bulb wasn’t there, it didn’t matter if he went to the top floor or not.

But since the aunt was present, it would be quite disrespectful not to go.

”I actually have something to ask of the aunt.”

Qin Yu chuckled softly and said.

”Something to ask?”

Bai Yaoyin was taken aback, looking at him with some confusion.

In fact, she was well aware that Chu Liuya’s intense Evil Qi was definitely related to Qin Yu.

That teaching posture was so strange, she wasn’t an inexperienced girl like her sister; she naturally understood.

And surely Chu Liuya would feel Qin Yu was defiling the Princess’s purity.

Him rushing up there might provoke the Commander of the Chu Guard.

However, looking at Qin Yu’s demeanor, he wasn’t the least bit afraid, and seemed even... delighted?

”Yes, something official.”

Qin Yu nodded, lightly kissed the dimple on his little wife’s cheek, and then got up.

It’s been almost a whole day, he wondered how the aunt had been considering.

If she had thought it through...

There shouldn’t be any problem.

After all, wasn’t it the same with Tu Yaoyao?

She was forced to accept due to concerns about Tu Jiujiu, her bottom line repeatedly crushed.

From how Chu Liuya blocked his way back to the palace, it was evident how much she cared about Chu Muyin.

”Husband, you really have no thoughts about my sister?”

Bai Yaoyin tried to get up to dress Qin Yu, but he stopped her.

”Don’t be silly.”

Qin Yu’s face turned serious, and he tousled her hair.

Bai Yaosha had exquisite features, a nearly perfect figure with curves in all the right places; whether in appearance or temperament, she was no less outstanding than one of the top three beauties in the Imperial Capital, Bai Yaoyin herself.

From some perspectives, that unique allure of a mature sister was even more appealing.

After all, the allure of a big peach cannot be compared with that of a little volleyball.

But she was his sister-in-law and deeply immersed in the path of the Array.

Their interactions were tacitly seen by both as merely a normal way of comprehension.

”But...”

Bai Yaoyin wanted to persuade further, but seeing Qin Yu pause while dressing, her legs trembled, and she immediately stopped thinking of saying more.

”Rest well, today, I’ll have my sister come down to keep you company early.”

Qin Yu donned his clothes, gently caressing the tender cheek of his little wife, and didn’t linger further.

Every time he locked eyes with Bai Yaoyin, her adorable dimples would always make him eager to push her towards cultivation.

Until Qin Yu left the small courtyard.

Bai Yaoyin finally couldn’t help but sigh softly, a dark glint flashed through her beautiful eyes as her smile faded, replaced by a trace of worry.

...

This guy should be punished!

Chu Liuya tightly clenched her fists, gripping so hard that her knuckles turned white.

Not far ahead, Qin Yu was here again, teaching the Bai family women how to comprehend the Array Patterns.

Humph!

This was just their attempt to deceive themselves.

In Chu Liuya’s view, it was nothing but disgraceful!

The key was...

Beside them, Chu Muyin seemed completely unaware, totally deceived, not the slightest resistance, but gazing fervently at the Array Patterns before the two.

Chu Liuya even suspected that if not for the Bai family woman occupying the spot, her naive little niece would have eagerly taken the seat.

Just for understanding a couple of Ancient Array Patterns, was it really worth it?!

Chu Liuya wasn’t proficient or particularly interested in the art of Spiritual Power, unable to grasp the sense behind such actions.

Perhaps, if it were the inheritance of an ancient power, she might empathize.

Chu Liuya’s mind was strained, her face growing more and more sullen as time passed.

Although she didn’t intentionally exude any murderous aura, the temperature in the top floor subtly dropped a few degrees.

Qin Yu, who was instructing his sister-in-law, felt a chill on his back, as if a cold gaze was about to pierce through him like an icy sword.

However, he didn’t care.

Even if she was of noble status and formidable strength, so what?

This wasn’t the Great Chu Imperial Capital!

She could be daring, but if she dared make a move on him, could she overlook the dangers Chu Muyin might face?

Today, Bai Yaosha’s condition seemed off, taking over an hour just to comprehend three Array Patterns.

”Princess, we should leave now.”

Seeing Qin Yu about to withdraw, Chu Liuya trembled, hastily speaking up.

She absolutely couldn’t tolerate this rogue further tainting her little niece.

In her eyes, this was not just defiling Chu Muyin but also dishonoring the Great Chu Royal Family!

”Does Aunt have matters to attend to?”

Chu Muyin was a bit surprised.

Typically, her aunt spoke rarely, and in front of others, she was like a ghost lurking silently in the shadows.

So why suddenly appear, and even speak up?

Chu Liuya frowned slightly, aware of her little niece’s sincere and fervent eyes that if she spoke out, the Princess would not only disbelieve but also misunderstand her intentions.

”Princess, your Spiritual Power has just broken through, it’s best to take a few days to adapt before returning to comprehend.”

Qin Yu turned around, his expression earnest, with no malice at all.

”Hmm?”

Chu Liuya was taken aback, full of disbelief.

Was he genuinely well-intentioned?

”Master Qin is correct; cultivation is like sailing against the current, not advancing means retreating.”

Chu Muyin shook her little head, eyes filled with blazing intent.

If there were doubts before, as her Spiritual Power advanced to the subtler stage, she became acutely aware of the benefits from comprehending the Ancient Array Patterns.

Attaining such a state might be beyond many cultivators’ lifetimes.

However, if one could comprehend more Ancient Array Patterns, it would still greatly enhance Spiritual Power.

Moreover, there were always profound connections among the Ancient Array Patterns.

Initially, after receiving her master’s legacy, Chu Muyin had yet to fully comprehend the three Array Patterns of the Star Prison Array.

In these few days, without consciously trying to comprehend, she had already absorbed all this information unwittingly.

Today, though in some attainments she may still not compare to her master, in the realm of Ancient Array Patterns, she has already surpassed him.

After tasting the sweetness, Chu Muyin couldn’t abandon such a shortcut without side effects.

Moreover, out of admiration for Qin Yu, she felt that putting in some effort was rightful.

”This...”

Qin Yu seemed slightly troubled.

After all, the interaction with the eldest aunt was truly a misunderstanding; he harbored no disrespectful intentions towards Chu Muyin, this pure Princess.

”Please... please, Master Qin, assist me.”

Chu Muyin blushed, her gaze burning as she stared at the Array Patterns in front of her.

With her Spiritual Power breakthrough, she realized even more the vital importance of Qin Yu’s guidance.

Though the damaged Array Patterns were now complete, if she were to comprehend them herself, any single one would at least take several months to barely mimic, let alone comprehend its profoundness, which was exceedingly difficult!

Chu Liuya’s eyes grew colder.

She na?vely thought the rogue would kindly refuse.

Ha, a strategic retreat!

”Yaosha, you should comprehend first.”

Facing the Princess’s clear gaze, Qin Yu couldn’t bear to refuse.

He withdrew.

Yet, he thoughtfully helped Bai Yaosha smooth out the wrinkled dress, concealing the proud curves.

At the same time, his skilled hand supported the trembling eldest aunt.

Chu Liuya’s pupils constricted, her expression changing abruptly.

Wasn’t this Bai Family woman not wearing... today?

Shocking!

Did she find it more thrilling with me here?

No wonder her rate of comprehension on the Array Patterns slowed down immensely today, dawdling for so long!

Simply ridiculous!

Bai Yaosha, feeling like she lost something, felt emptiness.

Yet, obsessed with the art of Arrays, she ignored the gazes from others.

As for what Chu Liuya saw, it wasn’t her intention, merely...

Hidden away by her sister, couldn’t be found.

”Princess, come.”

Qin Yu stood before the three Array Patterns repaired today, showing respect.

”Wait!”

Seeing her niece about to move forward, Chu Liuya finally couldn’t hold back.

”Aunt, do you have something?”

Chu Muyin felt puzzled.

Since returning last night, her aunt seemed off, and today, she twice tried to stop her from comprehending the Ancient Array.

Why is this?

”You... cannot proceed!”

Chu Liuya reached out to halt her action.

Foolish niece!

Can’t you see anything?

Haven’t you noticed the Bai Family woman... cried like that?!

Aren’t you afraid of being stabbed in the back by this guy?

Qin Yu stood silently aside, not urging.

Chu Liuya felt that this guy occasionally glanced at her.

Does he think I agreed to his request?

Ridiculous!

If not for fearing his identity as a Royal Court Tributor of the Great Yan, she truly wished to suppress him, letting him know her infamous reputation was not mere bluff.

”Aunt wants to comprehend for you.”

Seeing Chu Liuya struggling to explain, Qin Yu proactively alleviated her embarrassment.

”Aunt is interested in Arrays too?”

Chu Muyin was stunned, never heard of it.

She remembered once her aunt sought her master’s help and even told her instantly how seeing these Array Patterns gave her headaches.

”I...”

Chu Liuya glared coldly at Qin Yu.

Who said I’m here to comprehend Array Patterns?

Absolutely absurd!

Her gaze inadvertently catching Qin Yu’s respect, Chu Liuya almost couldn’t resist helping him with a physical castration.

The assassin’s heart, openly revealed!

He must not be allowed to defile my little niece.

”Indeed, that’s my intent.”

Even when Chu Muyin asked again, Chu Liuya knew she couldn’t persuade her. She forced herself to speak.

Chu Muyin was surprised.

Though her aunt was not yet thirty, her talent in Spiritual Power path was mediocre; let alone comprehending Ancient Array Patterns, even an ordinary Array, if for her to comprehend, would also take exceedingly long time, right?

Did Aunt also notice Qin Yu’s uniqueness?

Some matters, due to the Emperor Chu’s oath, she couldn’t voice, relying on any aunt to realize them herself.

”Master Qin, what’s your opinion?”

Chu Liuya knew her abnormal behavior would make her niece suspicious, but she had no other option now.

”It’s, not appropriate, right?”

Qin Yu felt uneasy.

Ha, men!

Chu Liuya coldly chuckled inwardly; it seemed this guy really feared her. His bold words last night were just him playing lip service.

What’s the use of giving you a chance?

Could a mere Array Master possibly dare to backstab me?

Chu Liuya believed, even if Qin Yu were given courage, he wouldn’t dare offend her.

After all, in Great Chu Country, scarcely anyone dared to gaze directly at her, let alone commit excessive acts.

”Perhaps Aunt Clara comprehended the profundity of Ancient Array, wanting to learn something, Master Qin, what do you think...”

Though puzzled, Chu Muyin still pleaded for her aunt.

Chu Liuya’s brows furrowed slightly, feeling eerie.

She clearly intended to help her niece, but why did she feel pushed into the fire pit?

It must be an illusion.

With such a revered reputation, mere guy with Array attainments dared defy before me?

”Do you agree or not?”

Chu Liuya had no patience to waste further, her determination made.

Today, she wouldn’t let anyone defile the Princess.

”Agree, fine, but...”

Qin Yu glanced at Chu Liuya, his brows furrowing.

”But what?”

Chu Liuya smirked sardonically.

At this juncture, did he still want to save face?!
