Rare Tenderness (Second Update)

Chapter 1192: Rare Tenderness (Second Update)

As soon as Tai Su left, Qin Mu left Gong Tianzun's territory and said with a smile to the empress who was seeing him off: "Sihua, please stay."

The empress was a disciple of Gong Tianzun, named Nian Sihua. She said, "Mu Tianzun, my master has ordered that we should show respect to Mu Tianzun. Even if Mu Tianzun leads the emperors of the Emperor Palace to block the door, I will greet them cordially and see them off cordially."

Qin Mu laughed and said, "Thank you for your hospitality. Please stay." After that, he floated away.

Nian Sihua watched him go away, frowned slightly, and whispered: "I really don't know what Master is thinking. He actually gave him one tenth of the divine stone that he dug out with great effort. This Mu Tianzun is a playboy with no real talent. It can be seen at first glance that he is a frivolous person. He is the same type of person as Yin Tianzi. Master, please don't be cheated by him..."

Qin Mu received eight pieces of Taisu divine stones from Nian Sihua and was very satisfied: "Refine these eight pieces of divine consciousness, and the mouthful of egg liquid I drank should be able to refine it. At most there will be some left, but it is nothing to worry about."

He took out a piece of Tai Su Divine Stone, and gently squeezed his palm. The Tai Su Divine Stone disappeared and appeared in his stomach, changing accordingly with the stubborn egg liquid.

Qin Mu felt the rhythm of the Dao of Taisu, and felt that his cultivation level was also improved. He also understood various Taisu Dao runes, and felt very happy: "I have studied the Taishi Egg for such a long time, and finally figured out the Taishi Rune, but there must be a deeper level of rune in the Taishi Rune. Just by refining the egg liquid, I can understand so many Taisu Dao runes. If I can crack the Taishi Egg, take the Taishi Divine Stone and refine the Taishi Egg Liquid, my cultivation will definitely be twice as effective with half the effort!"

He couldn't help but think about it, then shook his head.

The Taishi Egg was extremely hard, and even a peak emperor like Wei Suifeng could not split it. Instead, three of his fingers were shattered.

Qin Mu naturally couldn't do that either.

The Tai Su Egg used the terrifying power brought by the destruction of the previous universe to shatter the Tai Shi Egg. Qin Mu absolutely did not want to experience that kind of horror again!

He held Yue Tianzun's lantern, walked towards the crack above the ancestral temple, and passed through the seal he left behind.

Qin Mu looked at the spiritual energy bridge he left behind outside the ancestral temple, observed it carefully, and sneered: "This bridge has been destroyed eight times. Hong Tianzun, Xiao Tianzun and Gong Tianzun probably won't destroy my bridge, so it must be other Tianzun who did it. And the eighth time, it should be that little bitch Yun Chuxiu!"

When he thought of Yun Chuxiu, he couldn't help but think of Shi Qiluo, the Palace Master of Zaofu Palace, the burly man with a full beard.

Qin Mu shook his head and stepped onto the Psychic Energy Bridge.

This spiritual energy bridge connects Yankang. When he walked out of the bridge, he had already arrived near the capital of Yankang. Qin Mu breathed a sigh of relief, walked into the upper capital, met Ling Yuxiu, and talked about his experience in the ancestral temple.

Ling Yuxiu said: "You can stay in the palace for a few days first. It won't be too late to leave after you refine the strange egg liquid."

Qin Mu agreed and stayed in the palace temporarily. After Ling Yuxiu had dealt with state affairs, she came to look for him, but saw Qin Mu sitting in the pavilion of the imperial garden in a daze.

Ling Yuxiu sat down beside him, waved her hand to let the palace maids disperse, and asked with a smile: "What is the Imperial Master thinking about?"

"I was thinking about the war in Taixu."

Qin Mu pondered, "Although the Taixu Land is dangerous, it is difficult to resist the attack of the Heavenly Court. The Heavenly Court is too powerful, and it is only a matter of time before they conquer the Taixu Land. Now that the Void Beast is under the control of Long Qilin, should I let Long Qilin take the Void Beast to fight in Taixu?"

Ling Yuxiu thought for a moment and said, "If the Great Emperor appears in the Great Void, can Long Qilin protect the mother beast?"

“I’ve been thinking about this problem, too.”

The two sat in the pavilion and admired the scenery, neither speaking a word, cherishing this rare tranquility.

Qin Mu stood up, took off his shoes, sat by the pavilion, and put his feet in the water.

Ling Yuxiu laughed and said, "You still have the temper of a child. Be careful of your smelly feet, or you'll suffocate my fish to death."

Qin Mu patted the empty space beside him and said with a smile: "Come and sit with us."

Ling Yuxiu shook her head: "I am the emperor now, how can I be like you?"

"No one's around."

Ling Yuxiu hesitated for a moment, looked around, then took off her boots and sat beside him. She carefully put her feet into the water and breathed a sigh of relief: "Free. I haven't taken off my shoes in front of others for many years."

Qin Mu laughed out loud.

Ling Yuxiu suddenly leaned on his shoulder, and the two of them, with four legs, slapped the water.

After a while, Ling Yuxiu fell asleep leaning on his shoulder. Qin Mu did not move, watching her sleeping soundly.

When Ling Yuxiu woke up, the lights were already on. She jumped up in a hurry and complained, "Why didn't you wake me up?"

Qin Mu smiled and said, "I saw that you were too tired, so I didn't wake you up. Some palace maids came here just now, but I chased them back."

Ling Yuxiu quickly put on her shoes and said, "They are here to urge me to go to the imperial study. I haven't reviewed the memorials yet, so I have to go and do it."

Qin Mu stood up, put on his shoes, and said, "I'll go with you."

Ling Yuxiu shook her head: "If those upright officials see you helping me review memorials, they will report you to the court and accuse you of interfering in government affairs, and they will kill you."

Qin Mu laughed and said, "There is also Qingliu?"

"Many."

"I'll go with you. I haven't been involved in government affairs for more than ten years. Let those upright people talk whatever they want. At most you can kill them and quietly send them to exile. Do you have a little notebook?"

"Of course! The traditions of the Ling family cannot be lost!"

The two were reviewing memorials in the imperial study. Before they knew it, dawn had arrived. A cock-dragon started crowing, followed by the other cock-dragons crowing towards the east.

Ling Yuxiu yawned and said hurriedly, "I'm going to wash my face and eat something first. I'm going to court soon. If I go too late, there will be another row."

Qin Mu also stood up and wanted to hug her, but he saw the palace maids coming in with toiletries, so he had to hold back and said, "Your Majesty, I have refined the magic stone and egg liquid, and it's time to go and take care of my business."

Ling Yuxiu washed her hands and face in the basin, looked up and said with a smile: "Go and do your thing, go ahead, I'm here."

Qin Mu felt warm in his heart and said softly, "Your Majesty, please take care of yourself."

Ling Yuxiu also felt warm in her heart and said softly, "The same goes for the Imperial Master. You should not work too hard."

Qin Mu bowed, left the imperial study, looked up, and saw the sky was bright in the east.

He straightened his clothes, dressed neatly, and before dawn, he carried Yue Tianzun's lantern and headed towards Yongjiang.

"Big Brother, soldiers on the ghost ship, I promised you that I would free you from the difficult magical powers, and now, I can finally do it!"

By the time the sun rose, he had already arrived at Yongjiang.

Qin Mu stood on the river and saw a red sun jumping out of the river in the east. The river waves were rippling and illuminated by the rising red sun, like thousands of red fish leaping on the water.

He put away the lantern, took out Ling Tianzun's peach wood hairpin, and gently stroked the surface of the river. A ghost ship appeared under the river, its mast broke through the water and glided rapidly underwater!
