Chapter 194

Shen Qingli clearly realized that all she needed to do was make the Queen Mother of the West, even if she didn't believe her, too afraid and powerless to move against her.

Translation: Shen Qingli clearly understood that what she truly needed to do was to make the Queen Mother of the West, even if she didn't believe her, dare not and be unable to act against her.

Need to keep "Queen Mother of the West" translate as "Queen Mother of the West". Good.

It's nothing but the Queen Mother of the West!

Translation: It's merely the Queen Mother of the West!

Could she really be in control of the whole divine court?

Translation: Could she possibly control the entire Divine Court?

However, the Queen Mother of the West is just the strongest among the resurrected gods, and she commands the Divine Palace's prison forces.

Translation: However, the Queen Mother of the West is merely the strongest in combat among the revived deities and oversees the Divine Palace's prison troops.

But need to keep "Divine Palace" translate as "Divine Palace"? Actually "Divine Palace" is a place; we should translate meaning: "Divine Palace". Keep consistent.

The Tai Jin Emperor still guards the Divine Palace's patrols, but with just one of him, he surely can't stand up to the Queen Mother of the West.

Translation: The Tai Jin Emperor still commands the Divine Palace's patrols! But with only one Tai Jin Emperor, he surely cannot withstand the Queen Mother of the West.

"A-li~"

Translation: "A Li~"

Jiu Li's sudden voice interrupted Shen Qingli's thoughts and analysis.

Translation: Jiu Li's sudden voice interrupted Shen Qingli's thoughts and analysis.

"Huh?"

Translation: "Hmm?"

"Do we still need to go out unseen?"

Translation: "Do we still have to go out invisible?"

Jiu Li has already sensed the presence of immortals nearby.

Translation: Jiu Li had already sensed traces of immortals not far away.

They slipped in secretly—can they just walk out openly?

Translation: They sneaked in secretly; can they possibly leave openly?

"No need."

Translation: "No need."

Shen Qingli actually walked out openly.

Translation: Shen Qingli indeed went out openly.

Whenever she met other immortals along the way, she nodded in greeting.

Translation: Along the way, upon encountering other immortals, she nodded in greeting.

Thus, the immortals and celestial attendants who had seen Shen Qingli started to talk and question.

Translation: Thus, the immortals and celestial attendants who had seen Shen Qingli began to discuss and question.

"Who is this?"

Translation: "Who is this person?"

"I don't know; she looks unfamiliar, but how could she have come out from the lord's quarters?"

Translation: "I don't know; she looks unfamiliar, yet how could she come out from the emperor's sleeping chambers?"

"I don't know! She looks so young—who is this deity? That can't be right! I know every deity in the Divine Palace, and I've never seen this one!"

Translation: "I don't know! She looks young; just which deity is she? It shouldn't be—I know all the deities of our Divine Palace, and I've never seen her before!"

Both the old immortals and the newly promoted celestial attendants were baffled.

Translation: Both the old immortals and the newly promoted celestial attendants couldn't figure it out.

But no one suspected Shen Qingli of having broken in.

Translation: Yet no one suspected that Shen Qingli had broken in.

After all, she went out, not in.

Translation: After all, she was leaving, not entering.

If she were really an intruder, could she get past the Queen Mother's gate?

Translation: If she truly were an intruder, could she get past the Queen Mother's gate?

How could she also be so leisurely, walking out with a little cat?

Translation: And how could she stroll out so leisurely, holding a little cat?

Is this a case of overlooking the obvious?

Translation: Is this a case of "dark under the lamp"?

Jiu Li had already figured it out, and she was pleased, saying, "A-li~, you're so smart~"

Translation: Jiu Li had already figured it out and became cheerful, "A Li~ you're so smart~"

"Or Li-li is smart." Shen Qingli had never considered that the Dao Jun is part of A-jin.

Translation: "Or maybe Li Li is the clever one." Shen Qingli had never thought that the Dao Lord was part of A Jin.

This is too arrogant—she wouldn't even dare think it, but Li-li did.

Translation: This is too arrogant; she wouldn't dare think it, but Li Li did.

This also made her realize that nothing is impossible—she can die and be reborn and return to the past, so anything is possible.

Translation: This also made her realize that nothing is impossible—she can die and be reborn, return to the past, so naturally everything is possible.

But could it be him?

Translation: But, could it be him?

Are those hands his?

Translation: Those hands, are they his?

Shen Qingli is now certain that her death and rebirth were not accidental; they must have been man-made.

Translation: Shen Qingli now firmly believes her death and rebirth are no accident; they must be man-made.

Her father helped her restore her physical body, which only gave her a corpse after death; and her soul returning, still bearing all memories, was no easy feat.

Translation: Her father helped her restore her flesh, which could only let her die with a corpse. And for her soul to return, still bearing all memories, is no easy feat.

"A-jin, could it be you?"

Translation: "'A Jin, could it be you?'"

Emperor Jin is the only being Shen Qingli can think of who could have such ability.

Translation: Di Jin is the only being Shen Qingli can currently think of who might possess such ability.

Her father should have been capable as well, but in his previous life he hadn't yet taken his position; at most he had only cultivated to the Xuan Emperor level, lacking awakened divine power, and had not obtained divine bones or divine source. Helping her piece her body back was already his utmost effort.

Translation: Her father should have been capable as well, but in his previous life he had not yet taken his position; at most he was a Mystic Emperor cultivator, having fully awakened no divine power, nor obtained divine bones or source. To help her "piece" back her flesh was already his utmost effort.

If he weren't originally the Kunlun God Lord, he probably couldn't have helped her piece her body back, and he likely perished completely because of it.

Translation: If he weren't originally the Kunlun Divine Lord, he probably couldn't have helped her "piece" back her flesh at all, yet he likely perished completely because of it.

In his past life, in his past life...

Translation: In his past life, in his past life…

"Dad."

Translation: "Father."

"Mom."

Translation: "Mother."

She murmured, unable to imagine—

Translation: She murmured, unable to imagine—

Originally, the Kunlun God Lord who could have ascended fell completely because of her.

Translation: The Kunlun Divine Lord, who originally had a chance to take his position, fell completely because of her.

The proud and resplendent Vermilion Bird Empress, whose divine bones were taken by Su Chacha to help foster the 'Jiu' daughter, gave everything.

Translation: The proud, resonant Vermilion Bird Empress, because her divine bones were seized by Su Chacha to help foster a "pigeon" daughter, gave everything.

Just thinking of these two points brings her to tears.

Translation: Merely thinking of these two points made her unable to hold back tears.

This is harder to accept than letting her die.

Translation: This is harder to accept than letting her die.

The Kunlun God Lord, merely by resurrecting, could make the divine court bloom with flowers and vitality—she died by death of ten thousand swords.

Translation: The Kunlun Divine Lord, merely by reviving, could make the Divine Court bloom with flowers everywhere, full of vitality, for her death by myriad swords slicing.

The Vermilion Bird Empress, the foremost war god of the divine court, commanding countless elite troops and capable generals like Gold Uncle, might also meet a tragic end for her sake.

Translation: The Vermilion Bird Empress, the Divine Court's foremost war god, commanding tens of thousands of elite troops, plus capable aides like Uncle Jin, might also meet a tragic end for her sake.

Even if Shen Qingli hasn't yet witnessed her mother's fate as she did her father's death, she can imagine that upon learning the truth, her mother would spare nothing.

Translation: Even if Shen Qingli hasn't yet witnessed her father's death as she has, or seen her mother's fate, she can imagine how, upon learning the truth, her mother would throw caution to the wind!

"A-li, what's wrong?"

Translation: "A Li, what's wrong with you?"

Jiu Li is a bit worried about Shen Qingli's emotions.

Translation: Jiu Li was a little worried about Shen Qingli's emotions.

All along the way out, she has zoned out many times.

Translation: All along the way out, she has zoned out many times.

It doesn't know that Shen Qingli is a person who died and was reborn.

Translation: It doesn't know that Shen Qingli is a person who died and was reborn.

So it doesn't understand how, when Shen Qingli realizes her death caused so many tragedies, her emotions are so complex and tumultuous.

Translation: So it doesn't understand how, when Shen Qingli realizes her death caused so many tragedies, her emotions are how complex and tumultuous.

The Three Divine Emperors' 'recognizing daughter,' Emperor Jin's death, all trigger her to think about the aftermath of her past life.

Translation: The "recognizing daughter" of the Three Divine Emperors, Di Jin's death, all trigger her to have to think about the sequel of her past life.

The more she thinks!

Translation: The more she thinks!

The more she hates!

Translation: The more she hates!

Her own revenge has been exacted.

Translation: Her own revenge has been exacted.

She had already let go of all grudges.

Translation: She had already let go of all grudges.

But now she can't let go again.

Translation: But now she can't let go again.

"All those who participated, condoned, or went along with the flow,"

Translation: "'All who participated, condoned, and went along with the flow,'"

Shen Qingli silently counted, tallying them, she wouldn't let a single one go!

If there were no abettors of Zhou's wickedness, that mother and daughter wouldn't have even taken a single step toward success!

"A Li~" Jiu Li called again.

Shen Qingli exhaled a turbid breath, her heart still feeling suffocated.

Jiu Li climbed up, hugged her neck, its warm, soft fur soothing Shen Qingli.

"Don't be sad." Jiu Li also stroked Shen Qingli's neck, "That... your brother A Jin probably didn't deceive you on purpose."

Although Shen Qingli's sorrow wasn't about this, she was also comforted by its softness; she had already patted its fluffy little body, "I know."

"Exactly! At worst, you make him behave, then have him kneel on durian shells in front of you." Jiu Li offered a plan.

"Durian shells?"

"It's a kind of very prickly fruit shell; kneeling on it hurts! Don't let him use divine power! Then temper that durian shell a bit more so it works on divine bodies too—guaranteed he'll never forget it!"

"So you get me this fruit shell?"

"Sure, sure! If you can't find it, you can also have someone make it!"

Shen Qingli smiled faintly, "Indeed, then let's happily settle on that."

"Sure, sure!" Jiu Li clapped, also secretly thinking, "Let your grandpa's old lock choke your throat!"

"Li Li."

"Ah?"

"Thank you."

Shen Qingli really wasn't that sad anymore.

"What is this supposed to be!"

Jiu Li expressed willingness to help with this! Hehehe~

"Stop her!"

A displeasing voice came from ahead.

Jiu Li at once saw the ugly Lou Guanxue.

"Is she a follower? She's everywhere!"

Jiu Li really was exasperated—how could there be such an annoying person? It had just soothed A Li...

Shen Qingli also found Lou Guanxue quite annoying; it was time to make her understand that even without her mother, she wasn't to be trifled with.

Thus, when the celestial attendants blocked Shen Qingli, she paid no heed and strode straight forward.

Jiu Li immediately shouted for her, "Those of us coming out from inside have never been stopped—what are you, some scallion, daring to block us?"

Those words made the celestial attendants flinch; they all stepped back.

Lou Guanxue flared, "Although I don't know what trick you used to brazenly enter the Dao Lord's residence! They don't know you, but as a senior immortal, I should still recognize you? Just a newly ascended little immortal cultivator!"

"Relying on the Zhu Que Nu Di's overbearing nature, you think you can act tyrannically in the Dao Palace too? You haven't seized her yet! For any matter, this senior immortal will take responsibility! But if you let the culprit go, you can't bear the blame!"

The rapid‑talking Lou Guanxue actually made the interests crystal clear!

The celestial attendants all felt it made sense, and were about to surround Shen Qingli again.

However, Shen Qingli gave them no chance.

But she didn't make things difficult for them; instead she stepped right up to Lou Guanxue.

"You—"

Lou Guanxue instinctively startled, jerking back a step.

She didn't fear Shen Qingli, but she knew the little cat Shen Qingli held wasn't a cat! It was a formidable iron‑eating beast.

"Afraid?"

Shen Qingli snorted.

"You—"

Lou Guanxue was furious, about to berate the celestial attendants for not acting!

"Kneel!"

Shen Qingli shouted coldly, and divine power surged like a tide!

This wasn't even...

She linked with the Fusang Divine Tree in space!

She also established a connection with Little White in seclusion.

Thus, before Lou Guanxue's eyes—

Shen Qingli was not only the Zhu Que Divine!

She was also the Heaven‑Supporting Divine Tree!

She was furthermore the ancient Yinglong!

"Plop!"

Lou Guanxue knelt down.
