Chapter 328: Dao Xuan: Shen Qingli, My Elder Sister the Empress Wife

Di Jin lightly kissed Shen Qingli's ear, "Sister."

Shen Qingli thought he was trying to act cute to get past, and directly bit his shoulder.

He is not only perfectly featured like a finely crafted work, but every part of him is flawless.

It seems not something a person could be born as, but a creation of heaven and earth, so……

Shen Qingli's bite on his shoulder was like a clear tooth mark stamped onto a flawless sculpture, or a lustrous jade carving.

Seeing this made Shen Qingli feel a bit guilty; she reached out and touched it, asking, "Does it hurt?"

"It doesn't hurt; you can bite harder." Di Jin knew he had just been excessive, being bitten a few times to vent anger was appropriate.

Shen Qingli didn't have that habit, "You think I'm like you, a vicious dog!"

"I'm hungry." Di Jin chuckled lightly, holding her tighter, "Sister, I told you before, I've gained some more memories; do you still remember?"

Shen Qingli certainly remembered! She also realized he wasn't being cute, but wanted to talk about something serious—maybe he had made a mistake?

Since they confirmed their relationship, he usually doesn't call her sister; when he does, it's either to act cute or to guilt‑seek forgiveness.

Thinking of this, Shen Qingli instinctively wanted to get up—this needed a proper discussion!

But Di Jin refused to let go, even pulling her tighter, "In the Land of Divine Punishment, someone claiming to be from my family came looking for me."

"?" Shen Qingli widened her eyes, "Great news."

"Not good." Di Jin didn't think so, "They want me to go back again."

"Again?" Shen Qingli frowned, recalling that the Western Sect had once brought him back the same way.

"They're actually not your family?" Shen Qingli instinctively tightened her hold on Di Jin, "What happened?"

Di Jin gently stroked her neck, soothing, "It's not a big deal, don't worry; I also remember some things, much clearer than the last muddled 'go back'."

But Shen Qingli seized the point, "We have to temporarily separate, right?"

Di Jin instantly held her tighter! Shen Qingli realized her guess was correct.

"This time it won't be that long; I'll go back, seize power, then come find you."

"Do you have a father and mother?" Shen Qingli asked.

Di Jin gazed, "I have a father."

"And the mother?" Shen Qingli only cared whether he would suffer injustice when he went back.

Di Jin could tell, but his family had always been only her.

"I don't remember, but there must be one, otherwise where would I come from?"

"Like a Regent Prince—hiss!"

After biting her slender neck, Di Jin didn't stop and also bit her lips.

"I'm not her son! That Crown Prince is long gone."

"Not that long ago, maybe just two or three years ago?"

Shen Qingli laughed through tears, cupping his face and pressing her forehead to his.

"Just go, don't worry about me—you know, no matter who I face, I at least have means to protect myself." Shen Qingli didn't ask why he wasn't bringing her. Unless unavoidable, he wouldn't make this decision.

But Di Jin felt wronged, "Sister, you don't feel any reluctance at all?"

"Didn't you say you'd be back soon?" Shen Qingli countered.

Di Jin choked up, "... You're just dispensable!"

Shen Qingli laughed through tears, "No! I know you think the situation over there is unclear, you don't want me to suffer injustice, so wait until you've settled things and then come get me, okay?"

"Your mouth is good at coaxing people." Di Jin, who now possesses complete memory, clearly remembers that she called the Crown Prince ugly in front of the Holy Buddha, said he was still okay in the Crown Prince's presence, and kept looking this way and that.

Shen Qingli rubbed her forehead, also recalling this—she had only lied once! Yet she was caught red‑handed; back then, how did she not think they would merge and then end up together?

Indeed! People can't lie, or someday they'll be exposed.

"Then take me with you?" Shen Qingli bluntly asked.

Di Jin: "... Forget it, just treat it as a brief separation being better than a new marriage."

Shen Qingli secretly sighed in relief, "Is there danger when you go back? Tell the truth."

"There will be pressure, but definitely no threat to life. Also, I'll tell you something: while you were in your territory, Cangpei's soul was crushed by the He Clan Chief, and all the literary fortune was poured into the Three Pure Mystic Lady. If you meet her again, be careful."

"Good." Shen Qingli actually felt much more relieved inside, "That lunatic can be considered dead."

"Besides, I actually have money. But when you said you wanted to join the kissing contest, I was keen to go, so I didn't tell you."

"..." Shen Qingli laughed through tears again, "You want to kiss me and wouldn't refuse, yet such a morally corrupt contest—if I had any money, I wouldn't go!"

"Then don't be angry." Di Jin said, already having put the immortal robes on her.

After all, those three outside were getting a bit impatient, exchanging glances to signal who should knock.

In the end, all hopes rested on Hetian Doumu, after all she had business, and they were just coming to help persuade.

Hetian Doumu remained silent for a while, apparently preparing, then raised her hand to knock.

"Knock knock."

Hetian Doumu's knocking.

Even though Di Jin had set a prohibition on the door.

Shen Qingli could still hear it, already looking toward the door.

"Are they here?"

"Mm."

Di Jin was also fully dressed, yet gave no response to those outside.

Shen Qingli was about to use a minor immortal technique to tidy her hair, but he stopped her.

"I'll do it."

Di Jin took out a comb and combed through Shen Qingli's thick, soft hair.

Shen Qingli also felt a bit strange, "My mother never combed my hair like this."

Zhong Minglan, after all, is a female general, while Shen Kuo is actually more meticulous than she is, so naturally he didn't think of combing hair.

Mainly, Zhong Minglan herself probably wouldn't even comb...

Besides, that person's heavenly way combs better than she does, so she naturally wouldn't embarrass herself.

When she leaves seclusion and finds Shen Qingli absent, and Shen Kuo hasn't yet called her to see her off, she's bound to explode.

Outside the door.

He Tian Dou Mu felt she had been waiting for a long time!

Inside the door there was no sound……

"Didn't hear?"

Ji Yun Dou Mu pondered, perhaps He Tian Dou Mu couldn't manage it, unable to break through this layer of restriction.

"You coming?"

He Tian Dou Mu directly made the gesture of "yielding the position to the worthy," she was confident! Surely they heard, they just don't want to bother with her.

But what could she do?

Revealing the exact whereabouts of that person, who comes from the Taiqing Dian.

That person inside is extremely likely to be the Taiqing Heavenly Junior Sovereign said to have perished tens of millions of years ago!

Over these years, even she has not spared offering incense to that person.

Now, that person has actually come back to life?

She always felt something was off, as if she had been taken advantage of quite a bit.

"Forget it, just wait."

Shi Yuan Tianjun spoke up, saying if there truly was a Taiqing Junior Sovereign inside, they would have surely noticed them already, they just don't want to engage.

But the door has already been knocked; even if we let them wait longer, it wouldn't be for too long.

If it really doesn't work, they'll withdraw and let the Taiqing Dian people come themselves.

Just as they were thinking that, the door opened!

"……"

The three Heavenly God Tribe chiefs were obviously stunned for a moment.

Di Jin appeared before them so suddenly and unexpectedly.

The Junior Sovereign, wearing dark robes and a jade belt, with an immaculate gaze.

Upon looking, one's heart trembles and eyes lower; none can meet his gaze directly.

—These two passages are originally from the Taiqing Scripture, a cautious and brief overview of the Taiqing Heavenly Junior Sovereign.

Yet they have become a true reflection of the three Heavenly God Tribe chiefs' inner feelings at this moment; they even unconsciously dare not look directly at him.

In unison, they lowered their eyes for an instant, all feeling incredulous! Clearly, according to records, their current cultivation is not inferior to his, is it?

Or perhaps Ji Yun Dou Mu was the first to regain composure, "Ji Yun, fortunate to meet the Junior Sovereign."

"Shi Yuan, fortunate to meet the Junior Sovereign." Shi Yuan Tianjun also announced his name.

"He Tian," He Tian Dou Mu was just about to greet.

Di Jin's gaze had already fallen on her, "That vein of Three Pure Mine, I have taken."

He Tian Dou Mu's eyelid twitched, her heart already numb; she had actually guessed it!

Moreover, what could she say? The Taiqing Dian demanding a mine from her, she actually couldn't say anything!

After all, by propriety, everything in the Three Pure Heavens belongs to the Taiqing Dian; taking it is merely taking what is already theirs.

But over these years, the Taiqing Dian has remained closed off and never contested these impure things with them; how……

Forget it! She could still get the other four tribes to share the burden! As long as that Junior Sovereign acknowledges it, it's easily settled.

So He Tian Dou Mu's reply was quite clever, "If the Junior Sovereign has need, our five Heavenly God tribes ought to present tribute."

"Old fox!" Shi Yuan Tianjun and Ji Yun Dou Mu both snorted inwardly, knowing He Tian Dou Mu's little calculations, but unable to refuse.

However, Di Jin's following words left them dazed, "All three of you are here; perfect to convey my words to the other two as well. Shen Qingli, my spouse, you must not harbor designs on her."

The earlier sentence is fine to say, just passing along a message, nothing much.

But Shen Qingli?

Junior Sovereign's spouse?

No, not wife, but spouse?

No, that's wrong!

Has the Junior Sovereign gotten married?

The partner is Shen Qingli?

"……"

Silence, is the current state of the three chiefs.

Indeed, after serving as chiefs for tens of millions of years, they for the first time feel what it means to have insufficient brains.

Given their talents and abilities, they have never encountered something they couldn't solve, feeling absurd and incomprehensible.

Until today, this moment.

They all feel that each word the Junior Sovereign says is understandable, but when put together, they just don't grasp it.

Actually, not only they don't understand!

Certain hidden entities have also collapsed!

"Deflated, better come out."

Di Jin gazed into the void, having long known someone was hiding there.

He also knew very well that, after he left, these people would do what to Shen Qingli.

So he had Shen Qingli hide first and come out after a few days—supposedly to avoid trouble.

"Ah."

A sigh indeed sounded from the void.

At that moment, the spacetime of the entire Three Purity Town froze.

Except for Di Jin and the three clan chiefs of the Heavenly God Clan, everything else came to a standstill.

An old man walked out of the void, followed by two youths who looked like cultivators.

Earlier, in the shadows that intercepted Di Jin in the Land of Divine Punishment, they were all such cultivator youths.

They couldn't bring Di Jin back, and now an old man has shown up—also a supreme expert!

The three clan chiefs of the Heavenly God Clan had already, tacitly, exchanged a glance.

"You don't want to provoke karma, yet you insist." The old man sighed.

Di Jin paid no heed: "You swear on the Supreme Clarity Dao not to make things difficult for my wife's elder sister."

"You know it's impossible." The old man also wasn't lying; the order he received wasn't this.

However, Di Jin could not refuse him! So—

"Click!"

"Click! Click!"
