"I'm not just saying it—Shen Qi's fate is truly good. Look, his wife is beautiful and strong, his daughter excellent and worry‑free, even a casually picked‑up childhood fiancé is reliable and obedient; he's a life‑winner." Huang the Old Dog mused, envying no one but Shen Kuo.

Translation: "Maybe it's not a phoenix but a flower?" Shen Yuan, already drunk, didn't care either way; anyway, they're all top-notch good-looking.

"Uncle, have you seen my father?" the staggering Shen Qingshi came over, saying, "I've been looking for ages and couldn't find him—my damned sharp‑tongued ninth brother actually cursed my father to death! Uncle, you're the family head; please help me decide!"

Translation: "Uncle, have you seen my father?" Shen Qingci staggered over, "I've searched for so long and still haven't found him! My damn poison-tongued ninth brother actually cursed my father to death! Uncle! You're the family head, quickly decide for me!"

Why would a little cat crawl out of his father's grave?

Jiu Li? Shen Yuan also felt puzzled, "What are you doing crawling in the grave?"

Of course I'm hiding from Xi Xi! He now has a super big sister helping him, and I'm a cripple—I really admire that.

Jiu Li also felt puzzled, patting the dirt, "You guys keep it down, don't let them hear..."

You fat lump! Shen Que's voice came from the air.

Jiu Li whooshed and disappeared!

No, it must go find A Li!

It really can't fight right now...

A Li! A Li!

Jiu Li, who darted into Shen Qingli's room, was unexpectedly seized by the throat.

Hmph!

Jiu Li's eyes welled with tears; the life of Li is truly suffering—either losing fur or being choked, something always awaits it.

What's wrong? Shen Qingli asked lazily, just having walked out from the inner room.

Jiu Li looked at her longingly...

Shen Qingli stepped forward and pried open Di Jin's hand, "Don't choke Li Li like that, it's suffering."

Jiu Li nodded repeatedly! Finally settling comfortably into Shen Qingli's embrace, it felt that Li's life was happy again.

Why are you running so urgently?

I've missed you!

Jiu Li lay comfortably in Shen Qingli's embrace, letting her stroke its back.

Di Jin glanced at it, and it immediately tensed up, then looked at him innocently—it wasn't its own doing!

However, after turning over, Jiu Li took a close look and immediately clicked its tongue, "Wow! A Li, your complexion looks great—did you enjoy the wedding night?"

Shen Qingli covered its deadly mouth!

Jiu Li looked at her innocently, did it say something wrong?

Di Jin had already chuckled, finally not giving Jiu Li a deadly glare.

If you can't speak, don't speak! Shen Qingli warned little Jiu Li!

Jiu Li pursed its lips, definitely hit the mark by that comment~

Li Li knows it all! Li Li just won't say it.

Di Jin then reached out to his A Li sister, considerately changing the subject, "Come, let's first set up the seal."

Shen Qingli's face was still a bit flushed, but she still placed her hand in his palm.

As the two left hand in hand, no one noticed, and they didn't deliberately cause a disturbance.

Since the Heavenly Dao was being so accommodating, Di Jin planned to give it a safeguard before leaving, also a seal to protect the divine realm from being easily descended upon by the Three Pure Heavens.

But he couldn't act himself; after earlier giving Jiu Li a slight adjustment, the Heavenly Dao was nearly shattered, so only Shen Que and Jin Feng could lend him a hand.

At the same time, the Three Pure Xuan Nu who had descended earlier just opened her eyes, her gaze dark and fierce!

Shen, Qing, Li,

The Three Pure Xuan Nu's face was extremely cold; divine descent already took a great toll on her, and she had suffered two waves of trauma, only just now recovering.

Someone come.

The Three Pure Xuan Nu gave the order.

Immediately a maidservant responded and entered.

How is the literary fortune?

Replying to Xuan Nu, I'm afraid you must go personally to inspect.

The maidservant also described the situation there in detail, indicating they didn't understand it.

The Three Pure Xuan Nu furrowed her brows, feeling that those she raised were all useless!

Xuan Nu. The steward of the Three Pure Mine spoke hurriedly, "There's an anomaly on the mine."

The Three Pure Xuan Nu rose to her feet, still floating in the air, "What anomaly?"

Within the formation, strange light keeps leaking out, lasting three days. Since you haven't left seclusion, we subordinates dare not disturb you, but we have been monitoring it closely. The steward explained hurriedly but clearly.

The Three Pure Xuan Nu's brows tightened, "It's been bright for three days?"

Yes, it was brightest three days ago, and these past two days it has gradually dimmed.

The stewards also couldn't enter, only able to monitor from the periphery, and they hadn't detected any other anomalies.

The Three Pure Xuan Nu's complexion wasn't good, her divine silhouette vanished instantly!

When she reappeared, it was inside the formation that Shen Qinghuang had broken into.

Just a glance! The Three Pure Xuan Nu's countenance turned grim...

On that ancient tombstone, the two characters "Huaxu" were like a pearl washing away dust, revealing a clear, lustrous yellow glow.

What this meant, the Three Pure Xuan Nu knew very well.

Shen Qingli! Shen clan, you are truly descendants of Huaxu.

Three days ago, exactly when Shen Qingli entered the True God Realm, the aura she then emitted, the Three Pure Xuan Nu still remembered, and indeed it resembled the aura of this tombstone before her!

Previously, this grave site was only deathly silent, never showing such vitality, nor any abnormal aura—it was all because of Shen Qingli.

The Three Pure Xuan Nu once again thought of that prophecy by the Ancestor of Heavenly Purity.

Many years ago...

The high priest in the Land of Divine Punishment had already spoken a similar prophecy.

But on what basis!

They, the He clan, are the true Huaxu descendants!

For all these years, yet no one could awaken the Huaxu bloodline.

What right do mere ants of the False God Realm have?

"Let's cooperate."

"Who!"

Sanqing Xuan Nu's expression changed in shock!

This place is a forbidden zone of the Sanqing Palace; she has never allowed anyone to enter.

Cang Pei's remnant soul coalesced from the divine robe of Sanqing Xuan Nu.

"You actually aren't dead."

Sanqing Xuan Nu truly didn't expect that Cang Pei could actually attach himself to her divine form and come up to Sanqing Heaven with her.

"Unwilling."

Cang Pei's soul is faint, as if it could completely dissipate at any moment.

Sanqing Xuan Nu faintly sensed his... resentful power?

As her brows and eyes twitched slightly, the Huaxu tomb violently shuddered!

Immediately afterward—

"Crack!"

The tomb burst forth with a sound.

Sanqing Xuan Nu stared in astonishment!

Behind the tombstone, the grave mound split open!

This isn't even...
