Chapter 295

Di Jin looked at it, surprised, but he disliked that it had Jiuli's saliva on it, so he didn't touch it.

Jiuli picked it up himself and held it out to Shen Qingli, "Here~"

"What is this?" Shen Qingli took it and examined it, but she still couldn't figure it out.

"I don't know." Jiuli nibbled his claws; this also smelled quite fragrant, he really wanted to eat it, but he felt it might be dangerous.

So it kept looking pleadingly at Di Jin, afraid it would upset its stomach if it ate it, asking this master to check it out~

"Did it also come out of that old man's body?" Shen Qingli held the gloomy-green pearl and examined it carefully, still seeing nothing unusual, "And there's no evil aura."

"Let's keep it for now." Di Jin actually hadn't fully figured it out either.

"Can it be eaten?" Jiuli asked hurriedly.

"As long as you don't mind losing your wits, you can."

"Then forget it."

Jiuli grabbed his ears, resisting the temptation.

Losing one's wits isn't a pleasant experience; it used to often suddenly lose its wits.

After finally gaining some self-control, it didn't want to lose its wits again, feeling as if its body had been emptied out.

"Oh right, that old man had no soul, how weird." Jiuli said again.

Shen Qingli stared, "No soul?"

"Yeah, I originally wanted to catch a wisp to ask you a question, A Li, but he didn't have one."

"A Jin?" Shen Qingli looked at Di Jin, "Do you know the reason?"

Di Jin was rubbing his forehead; Shen Qingli saw this, thought he had a headache, and placed her hand on his forehead.

A clear-green healing power flowed from her palm into his sea of consciousness, making him, who was thinking, blink slightly before he raised his hand to hold hers, "I'm fine."

"Feeling better?" Shen Qingli asked.

Di Jin nodded; her healing power was inherited from Shen Kuo and bolstered by the Fusang divine tree, so it naturally could ease his truly uncomfortable sea of consciousness.

"Then lean on me." Shen Qingli stepped forward, gesturing for him to lean on her shoulder.

Di Jin could actually still hold out, but since the mistress had invited him, he naturally leaned against her.

Shen Qingli then kept one hand on his forehead and used the other to embrace his upper body as he leaned against her.

"He sacrificed his soul to the evil god, so naturally he has no soul, but he obtained that dark pearl; let's just call it that for now. It might be useful later, so keep it safe, and definitely don't feed it to the little cat." Di Jin said softly, a hint of fatigue in his voice.

Shen Qingli heard that, "Okay. You tired? I'll first take you back to rest a bit."

Di Jin had already stopped speaking, but Jiuli let out a "meow" and said, "He's asleep."

Shen Qingli's heart sank a little, knowing he could barely hold on any longer, so she intensified the healing power emanating from her hand.

When we return to Shen Ting, we need to refine another top-quality soul-transforming pill for him; otherwise, even if the soul-transforming pill were made with yin-yang fish, after he takes it it would be as if he hadn't taken anything.

"Little sister, brother-in-law..." Shen Qingshu, who had come over after finishing his tasks, saw Di Jin's complexion was off, "Is there anything we can do to help him?"

"No need." Shen Qingli looked at the thunderclouds in the sky, "Second brother, help me call the Jiang clan elder; ask him to press down when he ascends quickly, I need him to deliver a message upward to my father."

"Uncle Qi?" Shen Qingshu asked casually, "How is he, and is he doing well with your mother?"

"Probably not good." Shen Qingli had a sense of it, "They must be very worried about me, so I need the Jiang clan elder to bring a message up."

"Alright, I'll say something." Shen Qingshu immediately leapt into the air and waited.

But when he heard what Shen Qingli had entrusted to the Jiang clan elder, he felt confused.

What is the Lord of Shen Ting, Uncle Qi?

What does it mean to send the Tai Jin Emperor down?

What does it mean to have the earth guardian law of the Buddha realm also come down?

……

Not to mention Shen Qingshu, the Jiang clan elder's head was also buzzing.

After Shen Qingli finished speaking, he asked him, "Elder Jiang, did you remember everything clearly?"

He then said in a dazed way, "I did remember it, but can I really see the Kunlun god?"

"Naturally." Shen Qingli took out her jade token, which had been specially forged for her when she was honored as the Vermilion Bird Junior Emperor by her mother, "This is my token; no matter which exit you show it to them, it will send you to see my father."

"Oh oh, okay." The Jiang clan elder then took it, still a bit lost, "Your father, is he the Lord of Shen Ting?"

"Is living off one's wife really that good?" The Yellow Old Dog beside them couldn't help but interject, "That... I have a useless grandson at home, he's decent-looking; are there any goddesses in the divine realm who would take him?"

"Old Shen isn't living off his wife either; he himself is a reincarnation of the Kunlun god." Jiuli clarified online, "Old Shen is a beautiful snow lotus flower~"

"That's not a snow lotus." Shen Qingli corrected, "My father is clearly the world's first primordial spirit divine blossom."

"Pretty much." Jiuli waved her paws, that flower she had seen before was just a snow lotus, just more ethereal and much prettier.

Shen Qingli had nothing to refute, so she simply looked again at the Jiang clan elder, "Then I'll trouble you."

"Too kind, too kind." The Jiang clan elder's soul was still floating, but he knew this was important, so although he was still shocked, he didn't waste words and clasped his hands, "Then I will take my leave and ascend first."

"Thank you." Shen Qingli, unable to rise, said, "Second brother, help me see the Elder Jiang off."

"No need." The Jiang clan elder wanted to say it wasn't necessary, but Shen Qingshu had already risen to see him off, "Don't be polite, the Jiang clan's kindness and righteousness will surely be repaid by my Shen clan. Do you still need to make another trip to your clan's side?"

"No need, I already gave my instructions before coming." Whenever the Jiang clan elder goes out, he's always heading back to fulfill those instructions, so there's no need for extra talk.

As the two spoke, they had already walked out of the hall with slight cracks.

Inside the hall remained only the Yellow Old Dog and Mo Jun, sitting on either side, who occasionally glanced at Di Jin lying in Shen Qingli's arms.

"Cough," the Yellow Old Dog broke the silence, "Niece-in-law, does your child groom need to be sent to the back to rest first?"

"No need, it won't disturb him." Shen Qingli still had her hand on Di Jin's forehead, slowly nourishing his soul and spirit.

The Yellow Old Dog couldn't sense her divine power, only thinking she doted excessively on her child groom, wanting to hold him even while he slept.

Mo Jun was the same; since subtle hints had no effect, they could only try their best to ignore the presence of this child groom.

"Demon Lord, I don't know if our primordial ancestors will be alright after they go up," Mo Jun asked.

Shen Qingli's expression froze slightly, then she looked toward Jiu Li.

Jiu Li exclaimed in surprise, "I didn't eat it."

Mo Jun: "?"

"Go to Shen Que's place and bring down the magic core."

"Huh?" Jiu Li, dazed, asked, "Did Xi Xi eat it?"

Mo Jun was shocked hearing it—what's with the eating or not eating?

"Do you think it's all about you?" Shen Que's annoyed shout came from afar, full of fire, "You lick everything! You eat everything! Disgusting!"

While cursing and flinging the magic core down, he was mainly startled by Jiu Li's "Xi Xi," and he is especially sensitive to Jiu Li calling him.

And at this moment—

Mo Jun looked at the magic core covered in talisman paper, its aura inscrutable—what a bunch of question marks!

Who can explain to him how his ascended ancestor turned into a talisman-puppet-like lying corpse?

At the time of ascension, he was obviously majestic! Now it looks so off……

"Ah!"

Jiu Li also let out a startled cry!

"He opened his eyes!"

Jiu Li pointed at the magic core's eyes, shocked!

Because—
