Chapter 408: Putting on the bride's makeup, inviting all the elders into Taiqing Dian

Di Hao originally didn't want to deal with it, and sometimes he just wanted to pinch this brat to death and be done with it.

He had tried pinching it to death, but it was still useless; he could only hold his nose and accept it.

But this time Di Jin even more wanted to rip his mouth apart on the spot!

He couldn't free his hand, so he just said one word: "Get lost."

Di Hao had endured and endured before refraining from beating the brat, saying, "Do you still want her to live or not?"

"Try saying another word of nonsense." Di Jin, still tightly holding Shen Qingli, clearly knew the dead old man couldn't be helping out of kindness; he must have some ulterior motive.

We've come to this point—do we still need to exchange pleasantries?

Straight to the point, still buzzing here like a green-headed fly, annoying as hell.

Faced with his substantive disdain, Di Hao almost flicked his sleeves and left!

Fortunately, True Lord Yuanwu arrived and this time didn't foolishly give Di Hao a way out, saying, "Emperor Sovereign, if you have a way, speak quickly so the Young Lord doesn't anxiously wait."

"Yes, yes, yes." Heavenly Clarity Old Ancestor also stepped forward, already bowing, saying, "Please, Emperor Sovereign, lend your aid."

At this point, Shen Yuan and his brothers, Shen Qinghuang and his brothers, and Zhan Yuefeng had all gathered around.

Even Ji Zhongwen didn't leave, standing anxiously on the periphery; Ji Yun Bushel Mother's feelings were simply too complicated to put into words.

"Take her and come with me." Di Hao still said the same thing.

True Lord Yuanwu knew Di Jin's stubborn temper and hurried to coax him, "Better to return to Taiqing Dian first."

Di Jin actually hadn't heard a word Di Hao had just said; at that moment he was burning with anxiety, how could he have any energy to spare for Di Hao?

That is, after he confirmed he himself really couldn't effect a rescue, he then tightly embraced his wife's elder sister, yet still warily asked, "How do you plan to save her?"

Shen Yuan had already assessed the situation and hurried in to smooth things over, "Ah Jin, how should you speak to your father? Someone with his stature and status would certainly not harm you and our Li'er. Everyone's watching."

These words were not only to pacify Di Jin, but also a "warning" to Di Hao.

After all, Di Jin's hostility certainly didn't come out of nowhere.

Having been family head for many years, Shen Yuan could still see that this matter needed some weighing.

But as soon as he said that, Shen Qinghuang immediately followed, "Right, little brother-in-law, don't worry—we'll definitely follow along anyway."

The subtext was, if you have the ability to kill their whole clan, otherwise they'd absolutely not let A Li suffer even a bit of harm. No matter whether it's Taiqing Dian or something else, it's all the same.

The key was, after Shen Qinghuang said that, all his younger brothers behind him each gave an "mm," none of them dissenting.

True Lord Yuanwu was simply speechless, "…"

It's really something to see after so long; the Young Lord's antics have become habitual for everyone.

What the hell is this? They actually dare to secretly threaten the Emperor Sovereign—do they even deserve it?

But there's still something even more shocking…

"Um, in-laws." Shen Yuan spoke bluntly, "Can't we administer aid here? Look how anxious the child is."

"That's definitely not allowed; otherwise the Emperor Sovereign wouldn't have to go to this trouble." True Lord Yuanwu hurriedly interjected, "Really! These people today aren't afraid of death at all."

"Are we saving her or not?" Di Hao just stared at Di Jin.

Di Jin pursed his lips, "You call me Eldest Uncle."

Di Hao: "？"

True Lord Yuanwu: "…"

What the heck, what is this?

And "Eldest Uncle" Shen Yuan again hurried to smooth things over, "No need for formalities, no need for formalities—whether you call me or not makes no difference, come on, come on, first we must save A Li."

This is indeed crucial!

Actually, Di Jin has been consuming his own vitality to make up for Shen Qingli's deficiency.

But the effect is minimal—almost as if he must damage himself by a thousand years of lifespan to supplement Shen Qingli with one year of vitality.

If this continues, Di Jin will probably die soon.

Di Hao finally stopped wasting words and clearly acquiesced to Shen Yuan and the others coming along.

Heavenly Clarity Old Ancestor had Zhan Yuefeng stay behind, after all, someone needs to clean up.

Afterward, the whole big family followed Di Hao away.

Left behind, Ji Yun Bushel Mother, Yi Yuan Heavenly Lord, and others who dared not rush forward gazed into the distance.

Ji Zhongwen actually also wanted to go, but was held back by Ji Yun Bushel Mother; he actually also knew he had no standing, otherwise he'd follow no matter what he said.

"Will Sister Shen be all right?" Ji Zhongwen was uncertain, and also didn't understand why she suddenly became like this; normally it shouldn't be this way—could it be a backlash from her secret art?

"You're the one worrying." Yi Lingling sighed, not expecting Ji Zhongwen to still look so lovesick; she actually hoped he'd succeed, otherwise they'd have to marry.

If possible, she doesn't want to marry; she hopes to become someone like Ji Yun Bushel Mother, or the clan's stabilizing needle, without needing to prove her worth to the clan through marriage or childbearing.

But looking at it, Ji Zhongwen probably won't succeed.

Taiqing Dian clearly accepted Shen Qingli, thereby allowing the Huaxu Shen clan to also step into Taiqing Dian.

"How many years has it been? This is the first batch of non-Taiqing Dian people to enter it."

Yi Yuan Heavenly Lord's feelings were complex; he faintly understood that the era of the Heavenly God Clan holding the reins was about to pass.

To say there's not even a hint of unwillingness would be impossible, but they all clearly knew how strong Taiqing Dian is.

Faced with such an existence, Yi Yuan Heavenly Lord had no confidence to fight to the death.

Even Ji Yun Bushel Mother had none.

And their choices also represented the choices of these two great clans.

However, Ji Yun Bushel Mother still didn't believe things would be that simple.

"Let's just watch for now." Ji Yun Bushel Mother said thoughtfully.

Yi Yuan Heavenly Lord's eyes twitched slightly, "What do you think…"

"Cannot be spoken, cannot be guessed, it's all heavenly decree."

Ji Yun Doumu finished speaking, then glanced again at the cloud and realm that remained only scorched earth; the depth in her eyes grew even darker.

Shen Qingli's strength truly exceeded her imagination; if Shen Qingli could safely survive this tribulation, she believed the Heavenly Pure Old Ancestor's words were certainly not baseless.

If that's the case, the Ji clan must have other schemes.

"Let's go." Ji Yun Doumu said.

Yi Yuan Tianjun, however, asked, "Hetian probably isn't completely dead yet."

Being stained with the Linjun, one inherently possesses the same troublesome ability as the Linjun: difficult to kill completely.

"That's just a rat in the gutter, not fit for the table." Ji Yun Doumu didn't care.

Individual strength has never counted for anything; only the strength of the whole clan is the true foundation.

At this moment, Ji Yun Doumu was actually still reviewing the strength of the Shen clan's young men.

She wasn't sure if this was all the power of the Huaxu Shen clan; if not, then the clan's foundation was still not bad.

If it is, then it's still a bit thin.

It seems not bad either; it just depends on how things develop later.

……

"If Hetian Doumu is still alive, she will surely cause trouble for Shen Qingli."

The one walking behind, Yi Lingling, looked toward Ji Zhongwen, not knowing what further plans he had.

Ji Zhongwen had already calmed down, "Shen Jie can kill her once, she can kill her a second time; no need to worry."

"But she has no clan anymore; Shen Qingli's warning has no effect on her." Yi Lingling and Ji Yun Doumu disagreed—she instead felt that the rat in the gutter was the hardest to deal with.

Ji Zhongwen didn't speak, seeming to be thinking.

And Hetian Doumu, she really isn't dead!

At this very moment, she has already sought out Yin Zhi Tianjun.

However, Yin Zhi Tianjun is obviously not someone to be trifled with; these two still have a fight ahead.

As for these later developments, the unconscious Shen Qingli surely couldn't have imagined them; as for the Shen clan side—

The one walking at the rear of the crowd, Shen Duo, besides worrying about Shen Qingli's safety, also had a big question: "Wasn't the eldest brother dead? Who is this person who suddenly appeared, so resembling the eldest brother?"

Come on, the reacted Shen Qingyuan already voiced his doubt: "Who are you? Are you my eldest brother? You're speaking ahead of me; I am now the eldest brother."

He was of course speaking to Shen Qinghuang.

If Shen Qinghuang didn't know he himself had indeed 'died,' he would suspect this close younger brother of being itchy for a beating.

"Not dead. You all aren't dead; as the eldest brother, how could I die?" Shen Qinghuang glared angrily at his brothers.

Shen Yuan just couldn't figure it out: "Are you A Li coming up to mess around with me?"

"Eldest brother, you truly have no shame, actually wanting the little sister to save you; I think you shouldn't even be the eldest brother." Shen Qingci, this 'rebellious son,' has always been defiant.

But his words, his eight older brothers all thought were correct!

Being an elder brother, one should have the bearing of an elder brother!

How can one let the little sister do the rescuing in reverse?

It must be to help and save the younger sister that is right.

If not, then one truly doesn't deserve to be an elder brother.

Then Shen Qingmo scratched his head embarrassedly, "I've been saved by the little sister."

"That's different; you also died for the little sister." Shen Qingtong said a fair remark.

"Yeah, uh, not—Shen Qinghuang is different; he himself doesn't even know what he did and just died, died pathetically, and still needs the little sister to save him—it's outrageous." Shen Qingci firmly looked down on him.

Then he got beaten!

Shen Qinghuang's slap almost smashed the back of his head!

It left his head buzzing, almost causing him to fall from midair.

"When I was helping the little sister in the Three Pure Heavens, you nine losers didn't even know where to play in the mud! You still need the little sister to lift the curse before you can awaken the ancestors' bloodline—utterly disgraceful!"

"You guys, not a single one can fight." Shen Qinghuang launched indiscriminate attacks on every clansman, including his father, his fourth uncle, and even the half-dead Shen Kuo.

Moreover, he has a witness; the Heavenly Pure Old Ancestor said from the side, "This is indeed true; this kid Qinghuang is so ferocious that even this old man finds it outrageous."

After everyone finished listening to his words about Shen Qinghuang's situation, Shen Qingyuan didn't understand, saying, "Then what counts as the remnant soul we sent you to be reincarnated with?"

"Count as the eldest brother's son?" Shen Qingmo replied.

Everyone fell silent at once; those who usually don't like to speak are often able to hit the nail on the head with a single remark.

"We've arrived." Yuanwu Zhenjun suddenly spoke up, "To be frank, the conversation of this bunch of Shen family members is truly outrageous."

But something even more outrageous came! Di Jin suddenly turned to him and said, "Take the great uncle, fourth uncle, and the brothers to have a look at the Yuanbao Pavilion."

Yuanwu Zhenjun was practically bewildered! Is the Yuanbao Pavilion something you can just walk into?

He really wanted to ask, "Young Sovereign! Do you even know what you're saying?"

Di Jin certainly knew; he also gave a cold glance to Di Hao, "When others marry off a daughter, they give a dowry; you marry off a son, you should give double."
