Chapter 403: Shen Qingli's Death… A Quiet Madness (3rd Update, Thanks to Zongheng Paid Readers)

Plop!

Plop!

They knelt down all over.

The earlier arrogance and righteous vigor vanished instantly.

This sight also made the two heavenly lords who dared to come watch—Yin Zhi and Xiahou—change their faces!

How is he here again?

Wasn't he locked away?

The two spoke almost in unison.

But no matter how shocked they were, Di Jin was still there.

He had already hoisted Shen Qingli sideways and swaggered out toward the He clan's original forbidden grounds.

As for why he didn't kill these scum?

That's naturally because their own people were still on Yunhe Island, getting in the way.

So, as soon as he left, Shen Kuo, Zhong Minglan, and everyone else immediately followed.

Jiu Li then happily discovered, "Xi Xi, you're here too! I wondered why it smelled so good!"

Shen Que glared! If the place were right, he'd beat the cat right now!

This dead fatty, why isn't he dead yet!

Shen Que sent a mental request to Shen Qingli to return to the Yuan Ling Realm.

Shen Qingli certainly wouldn't refuse, but when Jiu Li wanted to come along, she refused.

"Why won't you let me in?" Jiu Li complained.

"Shut up." Di Jin ordered.

Jiu Li immediately covered her mouth.

Fine, A Li is tired; it can't make noise.

The humming, shrunk Yu Jia also landed on Di Jin's shoulder. Stepping on it felt like prickles underfoot, not something he was used to.

Shen Qingli then also took her back into the Yuan Ling Realm. Although Yu Jia hadn't fought, its sudden adulthood—possibly forced—had taken a toll, so she let it rest there.

Jiu Li turned, leapt onto Shen Kuo's shoulder, and stopped being a lightbulb.

If Xiao Ying hadn't also gone in, it wouldn't have come to Old Shen's place.

Poor thing, it has nowhere to go, wail!

You little cat.

Zhong Minglan chuckled.

One could completely see its thoughts from Jiu Li's expression.

You're still laughing at me.

Li Li felt wronged, Li Li wanted to speak.

Shen Qici was melted by its cuteness, reaching out to pet it again.

As expected, it got bitten!

Hiss!

Loosen your grip, loosen your grip!

Shen Qici winced in pain, sucking in cold air!

Careless!

Again, its cute small appearance deceived them, making them forget how fierce it is.

Shen Qing Tong also wanted to laugh, "Jiu Li, why do you let Qi Shu hold you but won't let us touch you?"

"Can it be the same?" Jiu Li grinned, "He's also fragrant!"

Shen Kuo: '…'

Just thinking about what Jiu Li had done to Xi Xi, he already wanted to throw that thing away.

"His aura is most like A Li's!"

Jiu Li liked A Li the most, so Shen Kuo also reluctantly liked him a bit.

Zhong Minglan was actually very similar too, though she wore armor, making her a bit stiff.

"It is similar."

Zhong Minglan also felt it was similar.

Father and daughter were both equally beautiful.

No wonder they are her Zhong Minglan's husband and daughter.

"Before, thanks to you."

Thinking of Shen Kuo's second life‑saving sacrifice, Zhong Minglan grasped his hand.

If he hadn't risked his life to give her another lease on life, she couldn't even accomplish soul rebirth, let alone await later opportunities.

"From now on, don't be so reckless; if you sense danger, you should wait for me to act together."

Shen Kuo didn't blame Zhong Minglan for taking risks, but since she didn't wait for him, he was actually angry.

So just now he hadn't taken the initiative to hold hands, but when Zhong Minglan did, he had no choice—he couldn't publicly slight his wife's dignity, she being the empress who cares about face.

And Zhong Minglan, upon hearing him finish, immediately nodded, "Okay."

Shen Kuo was even more helpless, "You always admit fault so quickly."

"Isn't that good?" Zhong Minglan countered.

Shen Kuo only hoped, "You could also change right away, not just admit fault without changing."

He knows her too well; when her temper flares, he still naturally rushes forward.

"I really know I was wrong, I'll definitely change." Zhong Minglan whispered, assuring.

Jiu Li:?

Okay, okay, okay, there's dog food everywhere, right?

Forget it, it's sleeping! Hmph~

However, Shen Qingli, who could hear them speaking softly, laughed.

She let out a soft "pfft" laugh right by Di Jin's ear...

"You can still laugh, looks like you're okay?" Di Jin tilted his head to look at her.

Seeing that although her face was still pale, her eyes were bright and clear, not only spirited but obviously happy as well.

The little grievance in Di Jin's heart that had never been acknowledged also dissipated.

She was happy, relaxed, and that mattered more than anything.

"How did you come here?" Shen Qingli finally asked.

She actually already knew what was going on; Shen Que had sent her a mental transmission.

She deliberately didn't ask, just to tease him first.

After all, Shen Que said his condition was terrible back then; he probably didn't listen to her again?

However, Di Jin himself was quite mystified: "If I say it, sister might not believe me—I still don't know how I ended up back home, it feels like a dream. Could it be that scoundrel father of mine pulling tricks?"

Even now, he still hasn't let down his guard!

He always felt something fishy about this!

Shen Qingli grabbed his long neck, leaned her forehead against his, and passed Shen Que's secret mental transmission to him.

After all, she was also guarding against Di Jin's father, who looked suspicious.

Voice transmission could be intercepted.

But her thoughts shouldn't be detectable.

This scene...

Coincidentally, Ji Zhongwen, who had also rushed over, saw it.

He, stunned!

"Is this her man?"

Mi Lingling, who had also come, asked dumbfounded.

Ji Zhongwen didn't speak, but his slightly pale face proved his spirit had suffered a heavy blow!

After all, he had thought Shen Qingli's husband would be a lowly ant from the lower realm, but he isn't.

As they carried Shen Qingli ahead and walked out of Yunhe Island, all the mighty ones of the He clan stared at him with utmost vigilance and even gave way!

"He,"

Ji Zhongwen was a bit lost for words.

His cognition was utterly overturned.

"His cultivation is definitely above yours."

Mi Lingling finished his sentence for him.

Mi Yuantianjun, however, added, "What's more, don't you find him familiar?"

Those words woke Ji Zhongwen up! He recalled, "Yutian, Young Lord?"

Mi Yuantianjun didn't answer—after all, he couldn't speak anymore—but it was already enough!

However, Ji Zhongwen's complexion didn't improve; he was still staring at Shen Qingli and Di Jin.

And Shen Qingli, having just finished the transmission, was asking, "Clear now?"

"Clear." Di Jin was clear, but his gaze had already been drawn to her lips so close.

He also said, "Sister, your scent is truly lovely."

Even without speaking, just via mental transmission.

So close, everything he smelled was her scent.

"I'm talking about serious matters."

"Me too."

"..."

Shen Qingli was speechless for a while.

"So how did you end up like that?"

"My dad hit me."

Di Jin expressed feeling wronged.

"I didn't do anything; I honestly went to confine myself, yet he still hit me."

"How could he do that?"

Shen Qingli immediately frowned!

"He beat you half to death?"

"Too much! Isn't this Zhao Yue all over again?"

"Maybe because I made him angry."

Di Jin, with his long, dense lashes lowered, truly broke Shen Qingli's heart to see.

Having herself suffered insults and abuse from her "birth mother," she empathizes, especially with her beloved—how could she not feel heartache?

"We're not going back." Shen Qingli promised!

This time, they're coming again—she won't let them!

At worst, we'll summon the great elder again; she cannot let the abuser take A Jin away.

I thought this time would be different, after all it's her father—but I didn't expect it; she was still wrong.

"That also won't do." Di Jin shook his head. "I have to go back; hiding isn't a solution. I will definitely drive him from power and inherit everything he has. Let's see how he still dares to strike me."

Shen Qingli pondered—it made sense!

Not going back would just let the child abuser get off lightly.

Such a person is unfit to oversee such a mighty Taiqing Dian.

"I'll help you." Shen Qingli promised again.

"Good." Di Jin didn't refuse this; with such a formidable wife-elder sister, he'd definitely bring her back to show off!

"I'll take a nap." Shen Qingli was truly exhausted; even after taking elixirs, summoning that great elder who is a hundred times stronger than her truly drains all her strength.

"Sleep, I'll settle everything that follows." Di Jin had no intention of staying on Yunhe Island; if this vicious He clan isn't wiped out, sooner or later it will cause trouble.

We must cripple them! Wipe them out! Make them fear!

He Tian Dou Mu could also vaguely guess that this matter certainly isn't over.

But if they're willing to leave, she'd be delighted!

As long as she sends this group away, she'll immediately reseal the Yunhe realm.

However, Di Jin stopped at the very last step of leaving the realm.

!

Everyone's hearts rose in anxiety.

Especially the He clan's side.

The other various divine races that came to watch—not only the divine races came to watch, but also the earth deities and even some small clans that have long sealed themselves in the mountains, are gathering here one after another.

After all, the primordial god has descended!

No matter where or what race, none can remain indifferent to this.

The Twelve Tribes of Kyushu had already clashed with the guards outside the He clan; now they wait outside the Yunhe realm, and upon seeing Shen Qingli, they immediately bow down.

"Matriarch!"

The Elder of Heavenly Purity and Zhan Yuefeng also came forward to greet.

"Are you alright?"

"Still okay?"

Both of them were extremely worried!

Even if the primordial ancestor descends, they actually still aren't reassured.

"She's asleep."

Di Jin answered on her behalf, and had already helped Shen Qingli block outside noises to avoid waking her.

"Good, good."

The Elder of Heavenly Purity nodded, observing that overall there was no problem.

But he also didn't expect that this scoundrel would actually come again?

Nor did they hear any disturbance from him; could it be that he's already become so strong that even the Taiqing Emperor cannot suppress him?

"Mother."

Di Jin turned to look at Zhong Minglan; the meaning was obvious.

Zhong Minglan understood, and stepped forward to receive her little beauty.

She had long wanted to hold that little beauty; now finally receiving it in her arms, she felt her heart finally completely at ease.

"Let's go."

Shen Kuo knew without asking that the little rascal would help A Li regain face.

These people need to stand farther back, lest they hinder his performance.

And once they left, Di Jin remained motionless……

This let the He clan's people clearly feel despair.

They, have no hope left?

"What are you going to do?"

He Tian Dou Mu had already spoken up.

Di Jin didn't answer, but the pattern cracking open in the sky above the Yunhe realm actually counts as an answer.

However, He Tian Dou Mu revealed a strange smile.

And at that very moment!

"Ming! Lan!"

"A! Li!"

These were the voices of Shen Kuo and Jiu Li.

Shock and screams made Di Jin panic!

He raised his gaze, seeing……

It was actually Zhong Minglan holding a jade-green short sword!

The scene of it stabbing into Shen Qingli's forehead!!

This short sword is suffused with the aura of the Kirin Lord and curses.

It's obvious she knows Shen Qingli possesses the Fusang divine fruit; ordinary assassination can't kill her.

He Tian Dou Mu, even without fully possessing Zhong Minglan, could still use the residual consciousness previously implanted in Zhong Minglan's sea of awareness to launch this desperate assassination.

She knows very well that as long as Shen Qingli dies!

Di Jin has no interest in dealing with Yunhe Jing; he will surely foolishly try to save people, sparing no effort.

Yunhe Jing will then be safe, after all, the seal of Yunhe Jing will not be shattered again by the summoned Pan Ancestor.

"It's all because you forced me." Heaven Fighting Mother said calmly, full of madness.

Even so, Di Jin still intends to destroy Yunhe Jing; with Shen Qingli buried alongside him, she would feel satisfied.
