Chapter 134: Little Husband, the Ancestor Phoenix's Conception

"Ah this," Shen Qici, everyone was stunned! Can it be like this?

He seems to have only heard of child brides, at most heard of live-in sons-in-law, but truly never heard of a child groom.

Shen Qingli was already rubbing her forehead, what Ninth Brother said was correct—A Jin sometimes really is shameless—what kind of flashy title is this?

"Child groom?" Shen Qingtong was already sizing up Di Jin, feeling annoyed by his smug look, but then recalled: "You're that... A Jin?"

"Ninth Brother." Di Jin replied with a "Brother."

Shen Qingtong's eyes twitched—still accepting incompetence!

Shen Qici, this not-so-smart talkative, was still standing there dumbfounded.

Shen Qimo, who is ruthless and sparing with words, directly gave Di Jin a critical hit!

"San Ge! No way!" Shen Qingli shouted to stop, but it was too late! Then……

Di Jin didn't dodge either; Shen Kuo frowned instantly—Shen Qimo is already a Profound Emperor powerhouse, this punch won't feel good!

Especially this little brat is still injured—he's already worried, after all, he raised him…

"A Jin! Are you okay?" Shen Qingli rushed forward, supporting Di Jin, who had just taken that punch.

Shen Qimo frowned slightly, "You're injured? Then why didn't you dodge?"

He just wanted to test whether this guy was qualified to protect his little sister; he didn't intend to hurt anyone.

"I'm fine." Di Jin waved his hand.

Shen Qingli simply didn't believe him, "Don't push yourself."

"Let me check." Shen Kuo placed a hand on his pulse—indeed he found nothing wrong, but to be safe he still released his healing power. This was the first time he used his own healing ability on an "outsider"; previously only Shen Qingli had received such treatment.

Di Jin smiled, "Dad, this is you worrying about me, right?"

"Shut up." Shen Kuo gave a cold face.

Di Jin opened his arms and embraced his father's shoulders, "I'm fine, I'm not made of clay, and San Ge held back."

"Sorry." Shen Qimo apologized, then glanced at Shen Qingli, slightly nervous, as if afraid she'd be angry.

Shen Qingli could understand his intentions; she also sensed that he had held back, "San Ge knows his limits, I know that. It's just that A Jin's body is rather fragile—he just vomited blood recently, so I've been a bit nervous."

"How could he vomit blood?" Shen Qimo, though he didn't use full strength, could already sense that this guy's physique is strong! Actually, could he say his hand hurts a bit? Wouldn't that make him seem too weak?

"A bit of maladaptation to the local environment." Di Jin explained, then wanted to lean close to Shen Qingli, who had just said she was worried about him.

But Shen Kuo pressed him down, "Be honest, I'm treating your injury."

Di Jin: "……"

After all, he's the father-in-law who personally gave him his position, and he genuinely cares for him, so he should give him some face.

Shen Qimo was puzzled—how could maladaptation cause vomiting blood? But he's usually taciturn, so he didn't press further.

"Where are the senior sisters?" Shen Qingli didn't see Liu Meng and the others—weren't they supposed to come too?

"They're waiting for the Heavenly Star Ancestor to return before coming over." Shen Qingtong explained, her gaze still resting on Di Jin.

This kid, they'd actually heard of him before, but they'd only thought he'd become an adopted brother—who would have guessed he'd become the little sister's husband?

He's not bad-looking; he observed that after San Ge finished fighting, he clenched his fist—probably it hurt, so his strength seems not bad either.

"Is he also going in together?" Shen Qingtong asked.

"He..." Shen Qingli was about to explain Di Jin's origins, thinking he didn't need to enter the Ancestral Ground.

Di Jin himself answered, "Yeah."

"Did they agree to let you in? Who are you?" Shen Kuo said irritably.

"The Old Ancestor brought me here—how could they not let me in?"

"Let him in." Shen Jing chuckled; he actually deliberately hadn't told the younger generation this kid's background.

They're all A Li's brothers; wanting to marry A Li, they inevitably have to suffer some setbacks—he's an elder, so it's not easy to act against him.

"What are you going in there for?" Shen Qingli didn't understand, "Are you also going to awaken the Phoenix bloodline?"

The Ancestral Ground's tempering effects are superb—not only because of the extreme environment, but mainly because of the Ancestor Phoenix.

The Ancestor Phoenix is here; even if It does nothing, this place will naturally become a sacred cultivation ground for the Phoenix lineage.

But for other cultivators, it might not only not be a holy land—it could also be harmful.

After all, the Ancestor Phoenix's power is extremely domineering; if not of the same origin, one will surely be rejected.

But Di Jin wanted to see those black vines she mentioned, and since there's all that trash around, if he didn't go in, he wouldn't feel at ease.

So Di Jin's answer was, "Yeah, I'm a live-in son-in-law—I need to go in and let the Ancestral Ground give me a once-over."

"You kid, your awareness is great!" Shen Qici finally came to his senses, and he really liked Di Jin's words.

The other Shen brothers also chatted with Di Jin back and forth; it's clear that upon first meeting, they were very pleased with the live-in son-in-law.

But Shen Qingli said, "I have the Five-line Phoenix Immortal inheritance here—you brothers know that, right?"

"Known." Shen Qingtong nodded, "What's up?"

"I want to divide these five inheritances among the brothers, but San Ge can't—San Ge is a Nether Phoenix, and I don't have a Nether Phoenix inheritance here,"

"Hold it!" The honest and sincere Shen Qing Shan immediately spoke up, "Little sister, what do you think of your brothers? There's no such thing as wanting a sister's inheritance—if this gets out, where will the faces of the Shen men go?"

"Exactly!" Shen Qing He and the others echoed in agreement.

But Shen Jing said, "We can do subtraction instead."

He clearly understood Shen Qingli's situation; the Five-line Phoenix Immortal inheritance actually isn't of much use to her.

The Vermilion Bird, Star Phenomenon Mountain, Supreme Unity, and perhaps the Ancestor Phoenix might each have granted her a divine-level inheritance separately.

"Old Ancestor?" Shen Qing Shan and the others were stunned—they hadn't expected the ancestor to agree.

"Listen to me," Shen Qingli continued, "receiving an inheritance isn't necessarily a good thing—you also have to choose for yourselves. It might affect your awakening to a higher-level inheritance."

"Qing Shan." Shen Jing directly named them, "Qing He, Qing Jin, Qing Shu, Qing Yan—come forward."

The Shen family's fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh, and eighth sons of this generation happen to be Earth, Water, Metal, Wood, Fire—the Five-line Phoenix veins.

Moreover, the cultivation method these five youngsters practice is inherently a systematic one; individually their battle strength may be average, but when the five gather together their strength multiplies, which exactly corresponds to the Five-Element Phoenix Immortal.

After Shen Jing explained it in this leisurely manner, Shen Qingli immediately felt it was indeed suitable: "Although the five Phoenix Immortals compete with each other, their mutual relationships of mutual generation and restriction are indeed very subtle."

"However, your fifth older brother possesses dual water affinity, and he has also awakened the ice-sparrow bloodline from his mother's side." Shen Jing had previously lacked the energy, so he had hardly seen these children, but that doesn't mean he didn't care.

Thus, when he explained the children's situations with such familiarity, the five youngsters all became excited, saying, "Ancestor, you've been paying attention to us, haven't you?"

It's no wonder they're excited; as five relatively insignificant individuals, their talents aren't particularly outstanding, and being neither first nor last in birth order makes them easy for the elders to overlook.

Of course, this doesn't mean the elders dislike them; they are well aware of that. It's just that with so many children, when arranging tasks, the older brothers are certainly the ones to do the work first.

Shen Qingtong is also somewhat special; he was born with azure pupils, just like the ancestor, and thus attracted attention from an early age.

As for Shen Qingci, he mainly talks a lot, and being the youngest made it hard not to notice him.

However, Shen Qingli, who was activating her pupil technique, discovered——

"Five older brothers, sit down and fully activate your bloodlines; let me take a look."

She discovered that her five older brothers seemed to be……

"Five-Element Source Body."

Di Jin exclaimed in surprise! Could it be the Primordial Phoenix?

Upon thinking of this, he immediately asked a crucial question!
