Chapter 294: Di Jin comes clean! Lai Lai… come out, bro…

"The Primordial Purple Qi I left you might have undergone an anomaly, giving rise to the small world you mentioned. Or perhaps this is simply your own opportunity." Di Jin leaned toward the latter possibility: "I feel the cause lies within you."

Shen Qingli eyed him suspiciously, doubting his honesty, but all she saw was a clear breeze and bright moon in his eyes, open and frank: "I'll trust you for now."

"Of course." Di Jin couldn't help it, kissing her lips, "Your talent is nearly on par with mine, even for me."

"Buddha-to-Dao transformation, I have only a fifty percent chance. Especially when it comes to transforming the Original Holy Buddha Zhao Yue, my Taiyi avatar must be completely severed from my true form, with no spiritual link, otherwise I cannot scheme against her."

"Just like that, you still trust me so much and help 'me'—that's the key to victory." Di Jin gently stroked Shen Qingli's exquisite, stunning brows and eyes, his gaze full of admiration.

He could guess that she would recognize him.

But he never expected her to be so resolute.

If she had the slightest hesitation and didn't give him that wisp of Zhao Yue's soul, he couldn't succeed.

After all, he and Zhao Yue are in a symbiotic relationship; he schemes against her, and she schemes against him.

At that point, either Zhao Yue dies or he does.

"What does that mean?"

Shen Qingli seized the key point!

"You mean, if the Crown Prince's avatar is gone, you won't survive either?"

Di Jin's gaze immediately drifted, "I—"

"Look at me!" Shen Qingli wouldn't let him look elsewhere, "Right!"

Di Jin could only nod, "So actually it's not really an avatar; it's all me."

Shen Qingli suddenly bumped her forehead against his!

"Bang—"

Di Jin took it head‑on, not daring to use any defense.

Shen Qingli looked at his reddened forehead, feeling somewhat relieved!

But she was still unhappy!

"You didn't even warn me!"

"What if I hesitated?"

"You keep saying that's not you even though you'd die yourself!"

Shen Qingli was truly impressed! If she weren't so decisive, Zhao Yue would have won?

"You still want me to wait for you! Don't go looking for you!"

Just thinking of that soul‑meeting, when Di Jin had warned her not to approach the Western Sect, made her even angrier!

"I won't go—can you still win?"

The more Shen Qingli spoke, the angrier she got—she couldn't stand to hear a single word!

"Good thing big sister came."

Di Jin snuggled up directly…

"Acting cute won't work!"

Shen Qingli just wanted to push him away!

Di Jin naturally held her tight, wanting to rub against her neck.

Shen Qingli avoided him, "If you want to achieve great things yourself, then get lost!"

"No." Di Jin couldn't let her avoid him—otherwise he'd really be finished—so he clung even tighter, "If Zhao Yue truly devours the Crown Prince, I'll realize it, but by then we'll have to fight head‑on."

However, if the Three Pure Ones unite prematurely, my Holy Buddha form would be for naught. Zhao Yue could very well enter the Creation Realm again, but my Dao realm is actually a bit higher than hers, allowing me to strike her down before she returns to her peak."

"Then you'd die too." Shen Qingli concluded.

Di Jin: ……

"What do I do with such a clever wife?"

"It's not really death; one can be reborn."

"My dad raises me, then I raise him, right?"

Di Jin: ……

"Let go!"

"I won't!"

Di Jin held her extremely tightly!

"I was wrong; I'll never do this again."

"You always do this, apologizing at lightning speed!"

"Then I'll change too." Di Jin said, feeling wronged.

"You still feel wronged?"

"No, I'm just afraid you won't want me."

"……"

Shen Qingli was at a loss for words.

This sentence struck her heart the most.

"I truly will change; I'll tell you everything from now on."

Di Jin again promised, fully aware that he truly embraced a mortal heart to undergo the Buddha transformation.

Because Zhao Yue must die! Otherwise, everything he has reversed will revert.

But he wants her to live; her previous life was too bitter.

He hopes this life will be smooth and long.

But since he has made her like him, he can't think of his own death as acceptable as long as she lives.

She will be very sad, and will also suffer.

"My lady?"

"Shut up!"

"Oh."

Di Jin shut up.

He could feel that her anger had subsided considerably.

"I'm fine now!"

Shen Que's cheerful voice rang out!

Turning his head, hoping to be praised, he only then noticed that the atmosphere between the two masters was off.

"Um……"

"No! For example!"

After saying that, Shen Qingli also twisted Di Jin's waist!

The force was not small! Di Jin cried out in pain, "Sister is pinching me again,"

"I still didn't pinch enough!" Shen Qingli pushed him away and went to see Shen Que's sealed brother and the demonic essence.

Unable to use space, we can only let Shen Que carry it first; although he has transformed into a youth, his strength is not that of a youth—it's super strong!

At this moment, the entire Fifth Clan's "ancestral land" had completely broken free from the land of divine punishment and connected with Sheng Long Tian.

However, when they came out, they discovered that the degree of pollution in Sheng Long Tian was better than they had expected!

"The aura hasn't leaked out of the Shen clan's territory?" Shen Qingli said in surprise.

Di Jin also noticed, "Uncle's innate divine ability?"

He sensed it again carefully, and indeed it was!

"Spatial seal!"

When Shen Yuan ice-sealed the black vine, he also ice-sealed the evil vine's aura.

"Father's methods, and yet Uncle can actually awaken a bit of them—could the Shen clan still have some connection with Father?"

Even Di Jin grew curious; this wonderful divine ability, although it counts as a kind of ice-type divine ability, Shen Kuo is undoubtedly the ancestral master.

"A Li! A Li!"

Jiu Li called out anxiously.

"Xi Xi, come up and take my place for a moment!"

Jiu Li was still guarding Shen Yuan, but also worried about Jiu Ying, so he wanted Shen Que to substitute.

Shen Que paid no attention, but Shen Qingli called out to him, "Shen Que, please fill in for a bit."

"Quickly~" Jiu Li was very anxious; only then did Shen Que take its place, and it instantly shrank down in front of Shen Qingli—not only that, it let out a "hng" sound and spat out something.

"A Li, look quickly!" Jiu Li pointed at the five-colored little beads he had spat out, "Are these your fourth brothers?"

Shen Qingli was astonished! But according to her perception, these five-colored little beads truly carried the aura of her fourth brothers.

"How did you manage that?" Shen Qingli, overjoyed, scooped up little Jiu Li, "Did you gather them?"

"No, no..." Jiu Li waved his hands, "I didn't eat that old man's black vine inside him, did I? I just discovered this; it's quite fragrant, and I almost ate it together."

But if I really had eaten it, wouldn't that have meant eating A Li's older brothers?

That wouldn't do!

It just held it in, firmly resisting the temptation!

"A Li, are you happy now?"

Jiu Li asked with a satisfied grin, "It's really awesome!"

"Of course!"

Shen Qingli was even so happy she burst into tears!

She had thought her five older brothers were gone for good!

"And what about my second uncle?"

"That one really isn't there anymore."

Jiu Li rubbed his hands and promised—

"I really didn't eat it! Just this little bead, nothing else."

"I don't doubt you; our Li Li is the best!"

Shen Qingli simply adored little Li Li—this is a soul bead!

It should have been obtained by the Fifth Clan chief after he slaughtered the brothers; he had intended to refine it himself, but before he could, he himself was "eaten."

"Oh, right."

Jiu Li patted his little head.

"There's more, there's more, hng!"

Having spat out something else, it spat out an even more subtle existence…
