Chapter 513 - 478: The Empress Is Pregnant?!

"Average?!"

Qin Yu’s body trembled, as if struck by lightning, frozen on the spot.

For a man...

Average.

That’s practically the greatest humiliation!

He never expected that this Empress, as beautiful as a Divine Maiden, would utter such venomous words.

Unforgivable!

As a man, he must prove himself.

Even if the Empress before him possessed a powerful Innate Sacred Body, he was unafraid of the challenge.

After all, his Pure Yang Divine Body was already at the fourth layer. Even if he was outmatched, he still had a trump card.

Didn’t he?

This was something not even that little demoness with the Ninefold Celestial Palace could withstand... Celestial Punishment itself.

The Empress would eventually face a tribulation anyway—why not let her get used to it now?

This was all for the Empress’s own good, honestly.

A moment later, faint arcs of electricity danced across Qin Yu’s body.

The Empress’s body shuddered at once, a rush of dread spreading through her, her sense of touch magnified to the extreme.

Even though she commanded the Power of Dao Rhyme from the thunder attribute, she had never felt anything like this before.

This wasn’t ordinary lightning—it was...

Celestial Punishment?!

This guy—he could actually control Celestial Punishment?

Deep shock flickered in the Empress’s eyes.

Celestial Punishment represented the will of Heavenly Dao in this world, and yet it could be wielded by Qin Yu?

Even though it was faint.

But there was no time for the Empress to dwell on it...

She actually—

No need to check the values on the flame, and Qin Yu was already flooded by a chilling sense of danger.

"Whoosh!"

Without a moment’s hesitation, he moved in a flash, fleeing from the Golden Thunder Dao Lotus, sprinting out the door. With his back to the room, he stood ramrod straight, full of respectful deference.

That feeling was all too familiar!

He’d already learned his lesson—no way was he getting blasted across the room again.

Upon the Golden Thunder Dao Lotus, thick Power of Dao Rhyme curled around a graceful figure who slowly opened her eyes. There was a touch of anger in those clear, beautiful pupils.

This bastard...

Pretty damn quick at running away!

But, she couldn’t very well snap at him, could she?

That would be way too obvious.

What if Qin Yu realized she was already awake?

So, the Empress could only temporarily suppress her irritation.

This bastard wasn’t just bold—he was trying to tear apart the very heavens!

Just wait.

Let him be smug for now.

Sensing inwardly for a moment, the Empress soon discovered the anomaly in her body.

Sure enough.

The Warm Current had increased again!

Now she was certain—it truly came from Qin Yu, and it was...

Even though it had risen, for an Empress with the Innate Dao Spirit Body, it was still a drop in the bucket—nowhere near enough.

Forget about improving her Root Bone.

It wasn’t even enough to heal the hidden dangers within her body.

And the one who reaped all the benefits was that bastard...

The Empress took a deep breath, and her consciousness gradually fell silent.

Her profound, beautiful eyes slowly regained their clarity.

"Qin Yu, why are you outside the door again?"

Sweet and captivating, her voice rang out from the room once again.

Qin Yu glanced back, testing the waters. Meeting her clear gaze, he relaxed inwardly.

Could that powerful sense of impending doom just now have been his imagination?

He always felt the Empress was acting a little strange, but he couldn’t put his finger on exactly what.

Maybe it was just that the Empress was always so dignified, and being around her like this felt dreamy and unreal?

That’s how Qin Yu had to rationalize things to himself.

Then, swaggering inside, he domineeringly pulled the delighted Empress into his arms, raised his hand high, and smacked her full, round rear with a heavy slap.

"Smack!"

"That hurts..."

The Empress let out a soft, pained cry, but her face showed no hint of rejection. On the contrary, she seemed pleased by his every action, her face glowing rosy against her pale skin.

Yet, in a place Qin Yu couldn’t see, the depths of her pupils only grew colder, as if sealed beneath ten thousand fathoms of ice.

Why does it feel a bit cold?

What’s going on?!

Qin Yu shivered for a second.

But the Empress in his embrace gave no notable reaction, at most pretending to be annoyed.

"Don’t scare me like that again."

As if in revenge, he smacked her a few more times.

This bastard—

How dare he treat me (the Empress) like this!

The Empress’s teeth ground together so hard she nearly shattered them, aching to just wake up and teach this bastard a lesson on the spot.

But the deed was done...

This grudge—

I’ll remember it!!!

To obtain the Warm Current, the Empress had no choice but to endure humiliation and bear the weight.

In her view, maybe this was Qin Yu’s true nature. As for the respectful devotion he displayed before her usually...

Heh!

It was probably all an act!

This was what he really wanted, what he truly longed to do, wasn’t it?!

How could she have been so naive as to trust someone like him?

While Qin Yu was basking in the moment, how could he know the Empress was secretly planning how to settle the score with him in the future.

Should she steam him alive?

Or would he taste better braised in soy sauce?

Gradually, the Empress’s consciousness sank into complete silence.

She feared she wouldn’t be able to hold back, and would beat the bastard senseless right then and there.

If she really lost it and started a fight, and Ling’er or the Empress Dowager found out, she’d have no way to explain.

...

In the room, the Empress still wore a look of joy.

No one would ever believe that the usually dignified, sacred Empress could have such a side to her.

As for Qin Yu, the sensations stemming from the Innate Tight Leg Sacred Body made him utterly unable to stop.

And also—

The feeling inside his heart, nothing else could compare.

The Great Yan Empress was one of the most powerful beings in the world!

Any one of her roles was beyond precious—someone like Qin Yu, just a little cultivator, could be wiped from existence with a single finger, or even just a thought, from her.
