Chapter 316: Return-to-Infant Yu Jia

"Crack—crack."

After the last wave of muffled hatching sounds, a tender chirping rang out.

Then, the "little bird" of the Ancestor Phoenix's consciousness froze, stiff for a while…

The huge, splendid golden phoenix heard the movement, poked its head out from the dense parasol leaves, and saw the tiny, featherless creature?

Reddish, a bit ugly, but a child never thinks its mother ugly~

The golden phoenix, which had been somewhat wary, instantly felt affection.

It poked its head and gently rubbed the little red one, "Cheep~"

The Ancestor Phoenix that hatched into the little red one is indescribable—what is this?

"Mother~" the great golden phoenix called, still in a hoarse yet pleasant mature woman's voice.

As soon as Shen Qingli entered, she heard it call the tiny little one, the Ancestor Phoenix?

"... Or is it you?" Shen Qingli was uncertain.

The Ancestor Phoenix opened its mouth to respond, but only a chirp came out, no human voice.

Sweating black lines, it could only transmit its thoughts: "It's me, but I seem to have returned to youth—no, returned to infancy."

Shen Qingli was also astonished, about to lift it up.

"Wait." The Ancestor Phoenix transmitted to stop it, then began nibbling the eggshell with its tiny beak.

Shen Qingli heard it biting with a "crack-crack" sound, quite crisp; she reached out to try, but found she couldn't budge the hard eggshell at all—how absurd…

"What are you, exactly?" Shen Qingli genuinely curious, "Or are you still a phoenix?"

The Ancestor Phoenix didn't answer, but quickly ate the entire eggshell, then, still wanting more, transmitted: "No."

"'Yu Jia?'" came the voice of the little Fusang, its branches already extending into the parasol leaves, circling the little red one in a loop, "Yu Jia, yeah!"

"Yu Jia?" Shen Qingli was shocked! She hadn't she brought many books to Master Hua Yuan? She'd been forced to study for a while, and now, finally educated, she knew—Yu Jia is the ancestor of all feathers!

Putting it this way, phoenixes, ancestor phoenixes, flying dragons—all winged ancestors are the primordial beast Yu Jia!

Is the Su Nv Sect's collection really this outrageous!

One is the Nine Infant, the other actually is the Primordial Chaos Creation Beast: Yu Jia!

"Indeed." The Ancestor Phoenix also felt wistful, never expecting to have such fortune.

Moreover, as a reborn Primordial Chaos Creation Beast that hatched anew, it is not bound by the era's constraints and can truly go out for a stroll.

Unfortunately, it's still just a young beast, possibly unable to fly yet…

The golden phoenix, however, added from the side, "Little mother, how adorable."

Ancestor Phoenix: …

Although calling it mother is correct, it feels speechless.

"Pfft." Shen Qingli couldn't help laughing out loud.

The Ancestor Phoenix just wanted to lie flat, and it indeed did.

"Little mother, are you going to sleep?" the golden phoenix obediently asked.

"Step back." The Ancestor Phoenix felt it needed time to digest the matter of returning to ancestry and becoming an infant.

"Then should I take the golden phoenix out?" Shen Qingli thought the Ancestor Phoenix probably didn't want such a big daughter right now.

"Leave her in your Changshui Shen ancestral lands; when I hatched, it also absorbed a wisp of primordial qi, guarding there, which has a deterrent effect on the Kirin Lord." The Ancestor Phoenix arranged.

As an venerable ancestor, it possesses a strong sense of responsibility.

Shen Qingli's expression was complex; the Ancestor Phoenix immediately sensed, "Something happened."

"Yes." Shen Qingli recounted that the golden bronze door had been destroyed, etc.

The Ancestor Phoenix's eyes showed pity, "It's my fault."

Although it isn't considered a direct ancestor of the Shen clan, over the years they have depended on each other.

It had long regarded all the Shen clan's children as its own, yet it failed to protect them well.

"Little Gold."

"Here."

The golden phoenix immediately responded.

"Help me look after the Shen clan's people, don't let them suffer harm again."

"Little mother, rest assured." The golden phoenix solemnly promised, as it too came from the Changshui Shen clan and held feelings for them.

"Go on, I'm a bit tired." The Ancestor Phoenix waved its wings, then remembered its tiny wings had no feathers, and retracted them again. This hatching took an extraordinarily long time; for it, the loss was immense, requiring a long rest to recover.

Shen Qingli also didn't disturb it further, but looking at the huge golden phoenix, she was about to inquire…

The golden phoenix had already, a step ahead, transformed into a small golden phoenix, appearing in her palm, "Can I go out like this?"

"Yes." Shen Qingli had no problem.

"What about Little Xi Xi?" the golden phoenix asked again.

"Isn't he your brother?"

"Then that little brat has to call me sister."

Shen Qingli chuckled; Shen Que had always thought the little golden phoenix was his sister.

"Then wait for me." Shen Qingli hadn't yet had a chance to tour her newly promoted little world.

Probably upon receiving her desire to inspect, the space immediately fed back this harvest to her.

Indeed! Besides Yu Jia hatching, the golden phoenix directly matured, and there were many other gifts.

1. The Fusang Divine Tree bore fruit again, nine in total, all matured.

Nine, which is also the maximum number of fruits the Fusang Divine Tree can bear at once.

2. The Nine-turn Divine Lingzhi upgraded again, evolving into Primordial Spirit Lingzhi, and also came with a pill recipe: Primordial Spirit Pill.

The Primordial Spirit Pill is not only a holy medicine for healing wounds, it can also change the constitution of ordinary people!

"Being able to let people break through the shackles of gods and humans, this—" Shen Qingli was shocked!

However, not everyone can obtain this change; the chance to take it comes when a supreme immortal advances to the Divine Sealing Realm.

But it does not guarantee successful divine transformation; it depends on whether traces of divine breath remain within that person's body.

But this is also incredibly heaven-defying!

Shen Qingli was very satisfied.

She can prepare it for her eldest senior sister, second senior brother, and third senior brother.

Given her lifespan now that she has entered the True God Realm, she no longer needs to worry about dying from refining medicine.

Three, the invisibility grass advances, transforming into concealment-breath grass, effective on any living being, but only one leaf can be swallowed at a time, effective duration is half a shichen, taking it again within a month is ineffective.

Four, the Yin-Yang Fish Pond advances, becoming the Taiji Fish Pond; all yin-yang fish advance to become taiji spirit fish. After cooking and consuming, it can heal soul wounds and increase cultivation, the increase varying by person; effective for anyone, but each person can only take it once, multiple doses ineffective.

Five, the essence soil returns to the origin, becoming part of the space; the space advances to the Primordial Spirit Realm. Any medicinal herbs can be planted and will survive.

However, the ratio of one day outside to a hundred years in the Primordial Spirit Realm remains unchanged.

But the space's spiritual energy is a hundred times denser; according to the feedback of the Primordial Spirit Realm, it now equals the best cultivation holy land of the Three Pure Heavens.

"Good Fortune Pill and Spirit-Nurturing Pill can also be refined using Primordial Spirit Lingzhi and Taiji Fish. Since the ingredients have advanced, I can produce at least ten pills each time!" Shen Qingli was also very satisfied with this; she can refine a bit more to leave for relatives and friends.

As for the parasol tree, it is the habitat for Feijia, its companion tree; actually, Feijia's habitat is not the parasol tree, but the phoenix.

But the Primordial Spirit Realm says this is the best habitat it can provide for Feijia. If Feijia is dissatisfied, just go sleep on the Fusang divine tree.

"He should still be satisfied." Shen Qingli replied, at least the ancestral phoenix didn't raise any objections.

The Primordial Spirit Realm then displayed the last line of text: "Hurry up and go out, your childhood sweetheart is about to cry."

"Smack!" Shen Qingli slapped her forehead!

As soon as the news of the ancestral phoenix completely breaking out of its shell came, she couldn't wait and ran inside.

She was also dazed by successive big harvests, forgetting that today was her big day with Di Jin.

"Can I apologize to him with a grilled fish strip?" Shen Qingli asked.

Jin Feng: "... You're asking me?"

Shen Qingli fell silent; she should have asked Jiu Li.

But Jiu Li, though awake, was outside drinking celebratory wine with someone.

Of course, Jiu Li wouldn't tell her; it was ordered by Di Jin not to follow, otherwise it would be made to faint again.

"Forget it, let's go out first and talk later." Shen Qingli felt dazed, really unable to think of how to coax.

But as soon as she went out, she wasn't in Di Jin's embrace—had he already left?

"Ah Jin?" Shen Qingli called out tentatively.

In the side room, the study, Di Jin lowered his gaze, let out a quiet sigh, and still rose.

Shen Qingli hadn't even looked this way when Di Jin walked out, went behind her, and pulled her into his embrace.

The familiar scent, the familiar chest—Shen Qingli lifted her head, and indeed saw her Ah Jin.

Shen Qingli turned sideways, tiptoed to wrap her arms around his slender neck, "Sorry, I was just too hasty and forgot to tell you."

Di Jin looked at the gold phoenix playing dead on her shoulder, "Because of it?"

"Absolutely not!" Jin Feng immediately denied!

By the way, who will tell her how the master's childhood sweetheart suddenly became so terrifying?

Haven't we just seen each other not long ago? Could it be that the outside world and the Primordial Spirit Realm no longer have a time difference?

"You go out first, Shen Que is also outside, just—" Shen Qingli hadn't finished speaking when Jin Feng hurriedly pried open the door and flew out at speed.

Oh dear! Scared the baby Jin Feng to death~

Once the door closed, only Shen Qingli remained in the room facing Di Jin.

Shen Qingli hurriedly explained, "It's the ancestral phoenix; it broke its shell and returned to its origins as a little Feijia bird."

"Feijia?" Di Jin exclaimed in surprise, this indeed exceeded his expectations, "I forgive you."

"Really that good?" Shen Qingli didn't expect him to be so easygoing!

Di Jin had already lifted her up in his arms.

Shen Qingli naturally spread her legs and wrapped them around his narrow waist.

He's too tall; without this, they couldn't properly see each other.

Shen Qingli felt quite emotional, "You used to be so small,"

She also gestured, "You grew this tall all at once—did you get even taller?"

"Maybe." Di Jin himself didn't feel it, but he felt the person in his arms had become more delicate.

Shen Qingli then leaned against his shoulder, "Definitely, your shoulders have gotten wider—you won't keep growing, will you?"

"Don't like it?" Di Jin tilted his head to look at her; he really liked this natural closeness, and had already placed a kiss on her forehead.

"Neither." Shen Qingli rubbed the side of Di Jin's face that had come close, "Really not angry anymore?"

After all, it's the wedding night; she vanished without a word, making him feel overly calm.

Di Jin gazed at her eyes, close at hand, black and white distinct; his pupils forever resembled two deep pools, no longer able to see to the bottom with a single glance as in childhood.

He knew that no matter how many chances he gave her to start over, she could never again be that ignorant young lady……

How could he be angry?

"Not angry."

Di Jin sealed her lips with a kiss.

Only feeling heartache; how could he possibly get angry?

Shen Qingli stunned for a moment, able to clearly feel his caring tenderness as he kissed her, precious as a treasure.

Suddenly he thought of the words he had said when he first told her he liked her.

He said, "You don't even need to get up; I will always obediently return to your side."
