Chapter 210: The true form of the Di Jin turns out to be this…

Under the eerie green light.

Shen Qingli stood within that structure.

The green light enveloped her like sticky algae, cold and nauseating.

"Sister?"

The only voice that would call her that appeared.

Shen Qingli jerked her head back in surprise, and indeed saw Di Jin!

"Shh."

Di Jin made the silencing gesture with his hand.

Shen Qingli swallowed the words about to escape her lips.

Her hand was then entwined and held by his fingers, this being Di Jin's habitual way of holding hands after he "took the upper position."

But something felt off—she shouldn't have come in her true form, nor should she be dreaming, right?

"Alright, you can speak now, but still keep your voice low."

"Where is this?" Shen Qingli asked immediately.

"You don't know, sister?" Di Jin also looked surprised.

Shen Qingli stared at him, shaking her head, "How did you end up here?"

"I've always been here." Di Jin's words made Shen Qingli frown.

If he's always been here, then what is it in her space?

Or rather, how many of him are there actually?

"Stop beating around the bush."

Shen Qingli decided to get a clear answer!

"You just need to answer me, don't counter‑question me."

Otherwise she'd easily be led astray by the topic—this brat excelled at that!

"Oh."

Di Jin lowered his gaze, long lashes drooping, naturally evoking pity!

Shen Qingli glanced sideways, avoiding his eyes, "First, tell me where this is."

"The Heaven Earth Sect Main Altar." Di Jin answered honestly, but kept watching Shen Qingli.

"As I thought!" Shen Qingli's eyes sharpened, "What's going on with you now? A fragment of your spirit that split off?"

"No." Di Jin suddenly leaned close, his breath blowing onto her face!

Shen Qingli raised her hand to push him away, but his still‑icy hand gripped hers tightly.

"A Li sister."

The new address made Shen Qingli glance askance.

Di Jin pressed his face close to hers, a smile he couldn't suppress playing on his lips.

Shen Qingli was a bit confused, "What are you doing?"

Yet Di Jin embraced her, staying silent for a while, only burying his head in the crook of her neck.

Shen Qingli lifted her fingertips, yet still ended up holding him, "What's wrong?"

Di Jin said nothing, just held her tighter, occasionally kissing her ear.

Over and over…

He even licked!

Shen Qingli shuddered instantly!

He then cupped her face, pressing forward toward her lips.

"Sister~"

He could call her that in a hundred different ways, tender and lingering…

Even the blunt Shen Qingli understood—he was flirting with her.

Her hand went straight to the back of his long neck, returning the kiss.

Di Jin blinked in surprise, then gave chase—but Shen Qingli had already dodged.

"A Li~" Di Jin complained.

"Cut the act." Shen Qingli held his restless head, pressing it against her shoulder.

"This place is where they brought you after you returned with them, they left a part of you here, right?" Shen Qingli asked.

Di Jin stayed silent, amounting to tacit agreement.

Shen Qingli knew she wouldn't have come for no reason.

"Can you take me back?" Shen Qingli asked again.

She guessed that because of this part, he's not doing well now.

"Not going back yet." Di Jin rose to his feet, "You also shouldn't come again; they still don't know I've left."

"That doesn't count as leaving!" Shen Qingli conceded.

"Why not?" Di Jin looked at the person in his arms, feeling truly glad to be back, never expecting things to progress so fast.

He really wanted to know how to make A Li stop seeing him as a little brother…

With that thought, he pressed his forehead against Shen Qingli's, memories between him and Shen Qingli surfacing clearly.

He laughed again.

Still, it's his "dad" who's the best.

A childhood sweetheart? He likes it!

The Fusang Divine Tree now feels like you're about to break; are you sure you still won't go back and fight?

Shen Qingli was truly worried; the Fusang Divine Tree nurtured fruit like a child, raising him, wearing her heart out.

"That's actually its fruit." Di Jin chuckled, "Do you remember giving me one?"

"The unripe one?"

"Hmm."

"So the divine tree is actually ripening it now?"

"No, that's the fruit essence?"

"Heh..."

Di Jin laughed softly; how had he not noticed before, his older sister was this cute.

"Don't you know? I can be anything in the world; whatever you want me to be, I can become."

"So you really are a Dao Lord, you deceived my mother."

"That doesn't count either; I am indeed a Young Lord."

Di Jin gently touched Shen Qingli's brows, eyes, face, nose bridge, and red lips; it felt so real.

But he knew it wasn't real; she was a soul that had come.

"Next time don't be so reckless; if you touch any memory of this building, you'll be attacked. Don't look anymore. Wait for me to return." Di Jin cautioned.

"So you're hiding here now, preparing to take them down and go back? Or are you being suppressed here, unable to leave for now?" Shen Qingli needed to clarify the situation.

"Both." Di Jin slightly narrowed his eyes, making them appear even longer and sharper!

At that moment, Shen Qingli felt a pulling force! It seemed she was about to leave.

"How can I help you!" Shen Qingli asked hurriedly.

"Protect my true form." After saying that, Di Jin could also sense that Shen Qingli was about to leave.

Thus, before she disappeared, he leaned in again and kissed her lips, saying, "Wait for me."

At that moment, Shen Qingli had already "disappeared," but before fully leaving this place, she faintly saw——

On Di Jin's body, behind him, countless strands of dark green light, like ropes and blades, grabbed him! No, they were devouring him!

Because she could clearly see, within those dark green lights, colorful strands were being drawn upward; they were devouring A Jin's divine power!

It must be extremely painful!

No wonder his hands have always been icy!

He was still laughing!

Laughing at her.

What's he laughing at!

"A Li!"

"A Li!"

One after another, anxious calls piled up in Shen Qingli's ears.

But they were no longer Di Jin's voice, yet she still hadn't awakened.

This time, she truly fell into a deep sleep; she was too exhausted.

But her sleep was not peaceful; at times she dreamed of her past life, at times vague omens overlaid like images.

Fragmented and chaotic……

Finally! The dream settled on a face.

Qin Su Nu! No, Lou Guanxue.

"!"

Shen Qingli snapped her eyes open.

Jiu Li immediately burst out from under her blankets.

"A Li!"

Jiu Li poked his head out, looking at her, and finally showed smiling eyes.

"You finally woke up!"

Shen Qingli still felt a slight headache, but she could endure it.

"Did I sleep for a long time?"

As soon as she spoke, her voice was hoarse; it seemed she had indeed slept a long time.

"Little sister!"

Shen Qingtong's voice came from beside, and then his head also leaned over.

His eye sockets were red, and tears indeed began to flow……

"You're awake! Are you alright?"

Unable to hold back, Shen Qingtong wiped his tears as he asked.

"It's fine."

"I'll pour you some water first."

Shen Qingtong quickly poured some sweet dew, letting Shen Qingli moisten her throat.

"How do you feel?" Shen Qingtong asked again.

Outside the hall, footsteps came one after another; evidently they had noticed Shen Qingli's movement and were rushing over.

"A Li!"

"Your Highness!"

"Junior Tutor!"

Jin Wu, Xiao Yuying, Tai Jin and the others who had pushed the door open appeared one after another.

Shen Qingli, however, had no time to exchange pleasantries with them, saying, "Wait a moment, first take me to see Lou Guanxue."
