Chapter 463 - 439: The Empress Is Exhausted Again (Part 2)

Very quickly, Bai Yaosha noticed something strange about the cries.

After hesitating for a while, driven by a strange impulse, she quietly moved closer to the crack in the door.

"Whoosh!"

The next moment, Bai Yaosha’s small mouth opened wide, her pretty face flushed red, and she quickly turned her head away.

Oh my!

How could they be here...

Bai Yaosha covered her eyes, ran to the bed, and buried her head under the blanket.

However, some images uncontrollably surfaced in her mind.

So clear.

So detailed.

Bai Yaosha tried various ways, even calming her mind with meditation, but she couldn’t settle down.

Not sure how much time passed, until the sky darkened a bit, and finally, the noise outside settled.

On the top floor, apart from the occasional sound of the wind, everything was quiet.

Bai Yaosha hesitated for a long time, wanting to peek through the crack, but worried about seeing certain images.

"Sister, has Master Qin left?"

After a long while, Bai Yaosha cautiously asked.

However, there was no response for a while. Bai Yaosha hesitated a bit and deliberately made some noise before pushing the door open.

Very soon, Bai Yaosha’s eyes fell on Qin Yu not far in front, his figure looking particularly majestic under the faint light of the ancient arrays.

Bai Yaoyin seemed exhausted, sitting on the ground, nestled in his embrace.

"She fell asleep."

Hearing the movements from behind, Qin Yu turned his head, awkwardly explaining.

Their cultivation was so focused that he almost forgot Bai Yaosha was still there.

Fortunately, they weren’t exactly wearing the emperor’s new clothes; even though it was a bit disheveled, it wasn’t indecent.

They looked at each other.

Bai Yaosha nervously averted her eyes; still, since she had stepped out, she was too embarrassed to avoid it.

"I’ll help her inside to rest."

Bai Yaosha was clearly worried about her sister’s condition, trying to stay calm, she braced herself and walked forward.

"Alright."

Qin Yu nodded; Bai Yaoyin cultivated too diligently, he couldn’t just leave her like that.

Bai Yaosha coming over finally set his mind at ease; it was getting late, and if he didn’t return, the Empress Dowager might come looking for him.

Bai Yaosha quickly walked over, just bending down, and she inadvertently collided right into Qin Yu’s arm.

"Ah."

Bai Yaosha let out a soft cry, retreating a few steps, standing there in a daze like her mind had gone blank.

"You... okay?"

Qin Yu, holding Bai Yaoyin in a bridal-style embrace, hadn’t expected such an accident.

The feeling just now, it was as if he’d run into something soft like cotton, and his arm nearly sunk into it.

"I’m fine."

Bai Yaosha instinctively responded, not daring to meet Qin Yu’s gaze.

Her mind felt like mush, unable to process any thoughts.

Qin Yu realized he had been inappropriate, hesitant to apologize directly.

Some things, once mentioned, might only make both parties more awkward.

Bai Yaosha lowered her head, following Qin Yu into the room. Until her sister was settled on the bed, she remained wooden, struggling to regain her composure.

"I’ll go now, please take care of Yaoyin."

Qin Yu cast an apologetic glance at his sister-in-law.

Who would have thought, beneath such a slender figure, lay dimensions second only to a Great Phoenix?

Truly not to be underestimated!

In the void.

The Beauty Clan Leader observed everything on the top floor.

Watching Bai Yaosha, who was uneasy, the Beauty Clan Leader grew even more unsettled.

This human with a tail was surely up to no good!

He had just taken a young wife recently, and in a flash, he was already crossing paths with his sister-in-law?

Whether intentional or not, the Beauty Clan Leader sensed a strong crisis.

This guy, not even sparing his sister-in-law!

How could he resist when Tu Jiujiu was delivered to him?

The Beauty Clan Leader felt waiting any longer was no option, or else the little fox might be devoured, nothing left but bones.

Thinking about that guy’s tail and Tu Jiujiu’s petite body, the Beauty Clan Leader felt an ache in his heart.

Poor Jiujiu, how could she bear such pain?!

"Hmph!"

However, just as the Beauty Clan Leader intended to create an illusion to confront that human, a cold hum reverberated by his ear.

The Beauty Clan Leader stiffened, knowing without looking that it must be that Empress Dowager of Great Yan.

"Qin Yu, left."

Seeing Qin Yu emerge, the Empress Dowager’s beautiful eyes flickered with a strange color.

She was somewhat puzzled, feeling as though she couldn’t sense Qin Yu’s presence anymore.

It was known that auspicious perception could bypass magical treasures’ concealment, even seals, restrictions, distance, and so on.

However, this afternoon, when the Empress Dowager tried to find Qin Yu, she discovered she couldn’t sense his presence anymore.

If not for the fluctuating aura of Bai Yaoyin remaining on the top floor of Carefree Pavilion, she might have suspected Qin Yu had returned to that mysterious space to find the little vixen.

Of course, the Empress Dowager had encountered many unbelievable events with Qin Yu before.

Having been shocked repeatedly, she had gained some resistance, nowhere near as flustered as at first.

The most crucial point being, outside there was a big cunning fox eyeing vigilantly, and she had to maintain the Empress Dowager’s graceful demeanor!

She couldn’t let that fox belittle her.

...

The night was hazy.

The pavilion stood majestically, its antique charm more pronounced in the night. Pale moonlight stealthily penetrated through the blood-red window muntins, cloaking the room in a soft layer of silvery gauze.

By the window, a delicate silhouette silently stood, like a fairy from a painting. The gentle moonlight outlined her graceful figure, each curve exuding endless elegance.
