Cultivation: Starting from a Mortal Bone
Chapter 111 - 109: How to Enter the Lake
Seeing Qin Yu come in, Yin Qinghe glanced at him, her eyes seeming to carry a trace of doubt.
This rebellious disciple...
Didn’t come looking for her last night!
"Madam."
Qin Yu walked over, habitually wrapping his arm around her slender waist, and took a bite of a small watermelon.
Yin Qinghe’s face instantly turned rosy, pushing the watermelon-stealing thief. 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂
However, this watermelon thief instead lifted her up and let her sit on his lap.
Then...
Brazenly ate watermelon!
"Stop!"
Seeing the beautiful madam seemed to have something to ask him, Qin Yu then stopped.
Yin Qinghe steadied her mind before saying, "Did you go out last night?"
Qin Yu was momentarily stunned before the corner of his mouth curved up.
The beautiful madam clearly showed resistance, always pushing him away, but after just one night of not visiting her, she was suspicious.
"Madam wants to enhance her root bone?"
This playful remark made the beautiful madam’s face even redder, she bit her lip and glared at him fiercely.
"I just woke up in the night and found you weren’t in the room."
True.
The guest room’s windows were open, and Madam’s Spiritual Power wasn’t weak, she could easily sense whether he was there or not.
Since she discovered it, Qin Yu decided not to hide any longer and smiled faintly: "I went out briefly, met with an old acquaintance."
Such matters are nothing worth hiding.
He still trusts the beautiful madam, after all, she already knows his biggest secret.
"Old acquaintance?"
This time, it was Yin Qinghe’s turn to be puzzled.
She’s never heard Qin Yu mention it before.
Despite Qin Yu living in Lin Xian City for decades, there aren’t many he can really converse with, even if he has good relations, it should not be a meeting in the middle of the night.
"When the time is right, Madam will naturally know."
Qin Yu had already planned in his mind.
The main concern is being unclear about Xiyue Fairy’s intentions, what if she stops visiting him from now on?
He still needs to assess the situation at night.
Yin Qinghe didn’t pursue further upon seeing his reticence.
Though there was a suspicion in her heart as well.
She saw everything about Qin Yu yesterday in her eyes.
Old acquaintance.
Could it be...
"Madam, do you want to quickly possess Spirit Bone?"
Qin Yu approached, disrupting her rambling thoughts.
The day after his root bone enhancement, Yin Qinghe already knew.
Even though absorbing Spiritual Qi can be controlled, in this aspect, he felt there wasn’t a need to hide.
"This is the Alchemy Room!"
"I still need to perform Alchemy..."
The more the beautiful madam resisted, the more the rebellious disciple took advantage.
Eventually, she got what she desired.
Qin Yu provided everything she missed last night.
Indeed.
The beautiful madam’s combat prowess is no weaker than Xiyue Fairy at all.
Probably due to having the Innate Sacred Body.
Qin Yu often finds it difficult to cope.
Fortunately, he possesses a Divine Body, living perpetually, otherwise, just the beautiful madam alone would have him walking on walls every day.
In the blink of an eye, night fell.
City Lord’s Mansion.
After more than six hours of recovery, Su Xiyue’s internal injuries had finally stabilized.
At this moment, as long as she didn’t recklessly exert her full strength, using only thirty to forty percent of cultivation shouldn’t lead to worsening injuries.
She opened her eyes and glanced at the sky outside the window.
The time was still early.
No rush.
Just then there was a knock on the door from outside, along with Liu Zixiao’s concerned voice: "Xiyue, how are you feeling now?"
"Much better now."
Su Xiyue invited her in.
"That’s good."
Liu Zixiao saw her stable aura, felt a bit more at ease, and said, "Recently this area has been turbulent, the Hundred Sword Sect may take action. To be safe, tonight, I’ll accompany you."
Although she wasn’t clear about what Su Xiyue was doing at night, this situation can’t repeat.
Before it was nothing.
Now, everyone knows the Cyan Mountain Sect Saintess is in Lin Xian City, it’s best to be cautious.
"No need."
Su Xiyue saw Liu Zixiao wanting to accompany her for the night, her heart abruptly shrunk and she quickly refused.
If it were before, having Liu Zixiao around would make her feel more secure in her recovery.
But now.
She needs more Warm Current, and also needs to recover as quickly as possible, if Liu Zixiao stays by her side, instead it would become...
An obstacle.
"Why?"
Seeing her refusal so straightforwardly, Liu Zixiao was even more suspicious that Su Xiyue was hiding something.
Helpless, she could only borrow the Sect Leader’s name to apply pressure, "This is the Sect Leader’s order."
Su Xiyue softly bit her lip, hesitated for a moment, and ultimately revealed the reason in a low voice: "I... have always been used to being alone, tranquility."
"This..."
Liu Zixiao was momentarily at a loss for words upon hearing this.
Indeed, even within the Immortal Sect, Su Xiyue has her grove of residence, favoring tranquility and freedom.
Su Xiyue’s refusal was to be expected.
In regards to this, Liu Zixiao no longer forced, but said, "Since so, then I’ll be next door, call me if anything."
Su Xiyue nodded lightly, her eyes flashing a trace of complicated emotions.
She knew well enough that this was the greatest leniency Liu Zixiao could offer, if she continued to decline, she might actually start suspecting her.
Helplessly, she could only agree.
After Liu Zixiao left, Su Xiyue continued recovering, without showing any strangeness.
"Could it be, I overthought?"
Feeling the activity next door, Liu Zixiao wondered.
Shaking her head.
Nevertheless, as long as Su Xiyue doesn’t go out, everything is good, she won’t further investigate.
Time, like fine sand, silently slipped from fingertips.
Qin Yu once again soothed Lin Qianqian and Zhao Mengli, lying on the bed waiting for the Fairy to arrive.
However, until the moon hung high, stars speckled the sky, that anticipated figure still didn’t appear.
Qin Yu couldn’t help but feel a tinge of doubt, "Did something come up? Or... she won’t be coming?"
Indeed.
After all, Su Xiyue is the Cyan Mountain Sect Saintess, she can’t come to him every night.
Another half-hour passed.
Qin Yu had already concluded that Xiyue Fairy wouldn’t come, as he was about to get up to find the beautiful madam.
But at this moment, a gentle breeze blew, as his sense extended, he found the Fairy once again descending.
Looking at that holy figure, for reasons unknown, Qin Yu’s heart surged with an inexplicable joy.
Indeed, the Fairy still needs him.
No more idle thoughts, Qin Yu casually donned an outer garment, briskly walked out of the room.
"Fairy..."
Qin Yu wanted to draw closer, but Xiyue Fairy seemed particularly eager, not waiting for him to finish, she took him to the familiar room.
Everything was so natural.
Without waiting for him to react, just like that, he was subdued by Xiyue Fairy.
...
By the lakeside.
Little boat maiden brought her small vessel here once again.
Before the small boat could enter the lake, the little boat maiden hurriedly wanted to board.
This urgency naturally made things difficult to accomplish.
No water on the shore, how to enter the lake?!
