Chapter 236: Hold Her Tight! Forced Love

Does Shen Qingli like it?

Of course she likes it.

Because these three gifts are truly blessings, welcoming her into this world.

At the Azure Jade Sect, she had never felt such blessing and joy.

When just born and at a hundred days, she didn't remember things, but that was fine.

But at one year old, because she opened her wisdom early, she actually remembers.

Except for her father, no one gave her a first‑birthday gift.

Moreover, what her father gave and what San Ge gave coincided.

The little dress belonging to her, the Hundred Birds Paying Homage to Phoenix dress, Zhao Yue burned it in front of her.

She seemed to have said something…

When Shen Qingli was little then, she really couldn't remember, only recalled the little skirt in the fire and herself crying loudly.

Actually, if San Ge hadn't given a similar skirt, she thought she would have forgotten it.

"Thank you."

Shen Qingli stroked the skirt.

Really, almost identical.

"This is still hand‑sewn by your San Ge."

Shen Tie spoke from the side, the dead kid keeps his mouth shut; as his father he doesn't say, so nobody would know.

"Dad helped." Shen Qingmo said embarrassedly, "I've never sewn, don't know where to start."

"How could Shen Lao Si be?" Jiu Li wondered.

Shen Tie glanced at it, "Don't ask."

Jiu Li indicated understanding, then praised somewhat, "Just like a real little phoenix!"

"Little Mo actually incorporated a wisp of phoenix soul into it." Shen Tie patted his son's shoulder.

Shen Qingli understood, her father's little dress for her also similarly incorporated a phoenix soul.

Very likely, he also sewed it himself, but it's gone, already turned to ash.

At that time she was so weak she couldn't even protect her own little dress; now she won't.

"Thank you."

Having put away the little dress, Shen Qingli felt as if she had filled a regret.

"Mine! Mine!"

Shen Qing Tong panicked, wondering if little sister was still angry, thus not liking his gift?

"Also like."

Shen Qingli stroked those small, round and smooth pearls of herself, unsure if her childhood self looked like this.

"Like!" Xiao Bai commented, it remembers.

However, it doesn't know that Zhao Yue burned Shen Qingli's little dress.

"That dress, the old master also gave it~"

Xiao Bai still remembers, but A Li seems not to like wearing it; surely it's that wicked woman Zhao Yue saying something, causing discord!

"Zhao Yue burned it." Shen Qingli put away "herself," feeling as if she were mending her past self.

Her tone was light, but several men of the Shen family froze; Shen Qing Tong's tears fell then and he turned away.

Shen Jing had been sipping tea watching the younger ones enjoy themselves, but now he couldn't drink either, "How could there be such, such,"

His upbringing is too good, so he can't find proper scolding words.

Even Jiu Li actually can't find words! It can only hug Shen Qingli; little A Li must be sad, which is why it remembers till now.

"It's all past." Shen Qingli patted Jiu Li's soft back, "She died completely thoroughly."

"Really cheap for her!" Jiu Li felt, this kind of person, killing them millions of times wouldn't be excessive.

"Indeed!" The sound from outside the hall came from Liu Meng.

She who came to play with Shen Qingli didn't expect to hear such past.

She quickly stepped forward, also hugged Shen Qingli.

Jiu Li had time to withdraw, directly becoming the little filling inside the sandwich.

But it couldn't resist, after all it wouldn't hurt Shen Qingli.

But Liu Meng's grip was very suffocating…

"Xu!"

Jiu Li couldn't help it; this ordeal of being choked "xu" is inevitable, right?

"Loosen up, loosen up."

Shen Tie warned, this little girl might choke A Li to xu.

Liu Meng however unwilling to loosen, she just wants to tightly hug the little junior sister!

Very tight, that kind!

The little junior sister, when young, surely always felt unliked by everyone.

No wonder the little junior sister, when at the Azure Jade Sect, would give away everything…

When she heard before, she mainly thought the little junior sister too kind, too selfless.

Actually the little junior sister fears people not liking her, so she keeps giving, expressing kindness and utility; she really hopes to be liked.

But for wolves, giving more meat only makes them want more! No gratitude, only a greater desire to devour the little junior sister who gives the meat.

"Little junior sister, you're very pretty, very pretty, we can all like you." Liu Meng said very seriously—

Although we haven't spent much time together, we all like you very, very much. Me, my junior martial brothers, my master, and my master's generation peers are all like that.

"Yes!" The arriving Zhan Yuefeng and Li Yidao immediately echoed.

But even the eloquent Zhan Yuefeng now finds no words to say more.

Just, my heart feels too sour and astringent.

"I know."

Shen Qingli truly knows.

She can feel that everything surrounding her now is love and kindness.

"If only I could be reborn." Liu Meng's eyes were red. "I will surely find you early and bring you to the Tianxing Sect."

Shen Qingli chuckled lightly. She had been reborn once, although she couldn't return to the very beginning, but now she is also satisfied.

"If you don't come, I will go find you all." Shen Qingli said firmly.

"I will definitely come!" Liu Meng thought and felt heartbroken; she is the older sister, how could she let the little junior sister come looking for them alone, it's so hard.

Out of this pity, Liu Meng favored Shen Qingli even more, bringing this preference into her later leadership career, putting Shen Qingli first in everything, showing it extremely obviously.

On the Divine Boat, Xi Yan couldn't stand it anymore: "Some people, just to flatter, have no shame left, even the Tianjian Star of the Tianxing Palace—I think it would be better to call it the Heaven-Kneeling Star."

As a scholar, I despise this fawning, servile behavior the most! What nonsense!

Isn't it just the cherished jewel of the Kunlun Divine Lord and the Zhu Que Nu Di? How could it come to such fawning and flattery?

"Junior sister, keep it down." Qiu Jun gestured quietly.

Xi Yan sneered, not only not lowering her voice, but speaking even louder!

"What's with keeping quiet? Can't even speak a word of truth? Besides, I haven't offended the First Divine Princess of the Shen Ting! I'm just saying some people are overly fawning and servile—perhaps that makes the Divine Princess uncomfortable too."

Inside the Divine Boat, everything fell silent.

Everyone knows who Xi Yan is talking about.

And the one being spoken of—Liu Meng—had just fed Shen Qingli some snacks.

Shen Qingli's face had already turned cold; she wouldn't let Xi Yan's words get to her! She felt it wasn't good to erupt.

However, Liu Meng herself was smiling, and she got up and walked toward Xi Yan.

Qiu Jun wanted to mediate, but Xi Yan was unwilling and had already pulled him away.

"What's there to fear about a Heaven-Kneeling Star!" Xi Yan stood ramrod straight.

Liu Meng sized her up: "You're actually quite good-looking, but unfortunately you have an ugly heart—what a pity."

"You,"

"As for me, I never make things difficult for pretty girls, and I won't do anything to you—but—"

Liu Meng shifted her tone, the blade hidden in her scabbard flashed sharply, boundless sword intent sweeping across the entire hold of the Divine Boat!

All the juniors of the Shen Ting felt a sharp stabbing sensation! They all changed color, the sword intent of the Tianjian Star exceeding their imagination.

"I tell you all! I just dote on A Li! I just favor her!"

"No matter which of you clashes with her, the fault is absolutely yours! It will never be A Li!"

"In this sparring match! Everyone must obey me and together favor A Li! Whoever is unwilling, get out now!"
