Chapter 409: Shen Qingli Pregnant? The Whole World… (3 More Thanks for Ticket Votes, Paid)

One sentence left everyone silent.

Even Di Hao felt his head hurting.

True Lord Yuanwu had already covered his eyes; the Young Lord truly is, one in a billion, fresh and unsullied.

At this moment he felt, without looking, that the Sovereign Emperor had already shown signs of age.

Who has a son like this, who doesn't show his age…

"This isn't necessary, I—" Shen Yuan thought to refuse.

But Di Jin wouldn't allow it, saying, "Of course we need it—am I something worthless?"

Besides, earlier Sister sacrificed how many Fusang divine fruits to save, and—

Di Hao interrupted timely, saying, "Take it over."

Perhaps they feared that if Di Jin kept listing, it would be even more embarrassing.

True Lord Yuanwu didn't struggle further, immediately guiding, "Please, everyone."

Shen Yuan and the others actually didn't want to leave; they weren't at ease until they saw Shen Qingli completely safe.

But Di Jin promised, "I'm watching—rest easy."

"And me," the Old Ancestor Tianqing squeaked, "I can't also go pick treasures from the Taiqing Hall."

Only then did Shen Yuan and the others agree, but Di Jin tossed them a small black-and-white thing.

Shen Qinghuang's hands were the fastest; he quickly caught it—then realized it was the Nine Li.

It still hadn't awakened…

It was obvious that Shen Qingli had fainted, and it wasn't doing any better either.

We just don't know how Di Jin managed to "dig" it out.

……

The two paths split.

Di Hao finally got down to business.

If he didn't speak soon, even the Old Ancestor Tianqing would worry that Di Jin wouldn't live long.

"Send her to the Boundless Abyss."

"You—"

"Her origin is ultimate yin and ultimate darkness."

That sentence actually calmed Di Jin's violent temper.

The Old Ancestor Tianqing still hadn't figured things out; although Shen Qingli is indeed the master of the dark source, she isn't ultimate yin, right? She's the wielder of the primal fire—there's no way she could be ultimate yin.

"You should go down too; maybe you can help." Di Hao then said.

"You'd better be right." After saying that, Di Jin already held Shen Qingli and headed to his usual place.

However, as soon as he entered the Boundless Abyss, the Candle Monster came up to him, but before it could speak, he shouted, "Get lost!"

Candle Monster, "?"

No, it hasn't even scolded yet!

What gives this little brat the right to scold it!

But how could Di Jin possibly explain all that to it?

Having sunk to the bottom of the abyss, he had been observing Shen Qingli's changes.

"Disperse your power." Di Hao's voice came down.

But how could Di Jin dare? He feared that if he withdrew his life force, the person in his arms would be gone.

But the Old Ancestor Tianqing also shouted, "Young Lord, give it a try—otherwise there's really no way."

Seeing Shen Qingli's condition, he couldn't figure it out, only hoping Di Hao's method would work.

"If it doesn't work, Di Hao, I'll have you buried with me."

When Di Jin said that, the Old Ancestor Tianqing broke out in a fresh sweat.

He truly hadn't expected that Di Jin's relationship with his father would be like this……

Everyone felt the Young Lord was rebellious, yet seeing the Sovereign Emperor's forbearing, guilty demeanor, it seemed almost deserved.

No matter what, the Old Ancestor Tianqing only hoped Shen Qingli would be unharmed.

And at this moment, Di Jin ultimately still withdrew his own life force.

In that instant——

"!"

Shen Qingli's vitality rapidly collapsed.

Di Jin's face changed drastically; he almost couldn't help but try to reclaim his life force.

But just then, the Boundless Abyss trembled slightly, as if some force were being drawn out.

At that same moment, the rate at which Shen Qingli's vitality was draining slowed.

"……"

The silently perceiving Di Hao closed his eyes, barely furrowing his brow.

Even the Old Ancestor Tianqing, concerned about Shen Qingli's situation, didn't witness this scene.

And Di Jin, whose heart had been tightly wound, finally relaxed.

He gently held Shen Qingli's hand, afraid to affect her, yet even more afraid she would leave him.

"Roar?"

The Candle Monster suddenly let out a low growl.

Di Jin glanced at it.

Now her mood was a bit better, and she didn't scold the monster anymore.

He seemed to understand and said, "My wife's older sister, pretty, right?"

'Roar.'

The Candle Monster nodded seriously.

Di Jin finally felt relieved; this old monster still had some keen eyesight.

The Candle Monster also lay down, carefully examining the little speck Shen Qingli.

Several times it wanted to reach out and poke, but each time Di Jin's intensely pressuring gaze drove it back.

'Hmph!'

If it weren't for the elemental pellet in this little wretch's hand!

No matter what, it wanted to touch this little speck.

After a long while, as Shen Qingli's condition kept improving.

Di Jin also finally had the leisure to notice that the Candle Monster seemed to like Shen Qingli.

'Do you like my wife?' Di Jin asked.

The Candle Monster couldn't be bothered to respond to him; if it didn't like her, it wouldn't be staring this long—it might as well go to sleep.

This little speck is so fragile, it feels like it could breathe its last at any moment.

'Because you're an old monster born of darkness?' Di Jin asked again.

It's quite possible; Nine Li was also born of darkness, and it naturally likes A Li.

'Roar.' The Candle Monster rolled its eyes, but its eyes were all red with no whites, so it couldn't be seen.

However, if it could speak, Di Jin would hear it denying that it was born of darkness; otherwise it wouldn't have been sealed in this lightless place! This place can suppress it, so that shameless old Emperor Hao would have put it here.

The little wretch is similar to it; this pretty little speck has another aura on her, making it very fond of her.

'Then let me ask you something.' Di Jin took out its elemental pellet.

The Candle Monster immediately perked up, because Di Jin was finally going to act like a person!

But when it saw the two people wrapped inside its elemental pellet, it immediately cursed!

'Roar.'

'Shut up!'

'You're disturbing A Li!'

'...'

The Candle Monster fell silent; the Candle Monster apologized.

'These are A Li's parents.'

'Roar.'

The Candle Monster protested in a small voice, 'You can't use its elemental pellet to raise a person, can you?'

'It's the killing curse of the Kirin Lord; only your aura can suppress this spell right now.'

'Roar.'

The Candle Monster extended its claw, but couldn't reach its own elemental pellet.

Di Jin had already put it away, saying, 'That's the situation; tell me, how to save the person? Once saved, I'll return your elemental pellet.'

Isn't this making things difficult for the monster?

If it wants to understand how to save a person, can it stay here?

'You claim to be from the same era as the Kirin Lord; surely you don't know nothing?'

Di Jin kept trying to PUA the Candle Monster, but it truly didn't understand, so it just lay there giving up.

Di Jin's mouth twitched; he was overestimating this lazy worm……

Fortunately! Shen Qingli's fingertip twitched slightly.

Di Jin immediately gripped her hand, his eyes fixed on her without blinking.

The Candle Monster perked up again, looking at Shen Qingli.

But she hadn't awakened; it seemed she was merely dreaming, her curled lashes trembling slightly.

Di Jin's palm immediately covered her forehead, he leaned in close, gently stroking and murmuring, 'It's okay, everything's okay.'

Feeling the comfort, Shen Qingli, lying flat in the endless darkness, relaxed once more, her breath seeming to merge ever more with the endless abyss.

Di Jin gazed at her deeply sleeping face, and for a moment he didn't come back to himself.

He simply propped himself on his elbow beside her, watching her, holding her hand.

'...'

And Shen Qingli herself?

She only felt as if she had sunk into endless darkness.

Yet this darkness gave her no sense of suffocation; instead, it felt as if it were nurturing her.

So after the initial brief unease, she quickly accepted this boundless darkness.

And she slept, sinking even deeper.

Day after day, by the seventh day, Shen Yuan and the others could no longer sit still; they had already gathered at the edge of the endless abyss.

Actually, Shen Yuan and the others all felt this place was quite familiar, but given that they were strangers here, they tacitly avoided discussing it.

'When will it get better?' Shen Qingmo tried to go down several times, but True Lord Yuanwu grabbed him each time, telling him not to cause trouble, for inside is no place a normal person could stay.

'How about you go down?' Shen Qinghuang gave the lazy Nine Li a nudge; this little guy had lately been listless.

Nine Li couldn't even be bothered to glance at Shen Qinghuang; it was truly speechless, having slept well, these people shouted for it to watch the treasure, and after finally finishing, they still wanted to sacrifice it to the endless abyss?

Although, with A Li inside, it also rather wanted to go down.

But it was afraid that before it could reach A Li, it would get eaten up there.

"Just be a person." Nine Li wrapped itself tightly in its little blanket, planning to nap a bit more.

But the Boundless Abyss below trembled, and it immediately forced its eyes open, staring into the pitch-black Boundless Abyss.

"Damn old man! Break the seal." Di Jin's voice finally came up from below.

True Lord Yuanwu was still dazed—couldn't the Young Lord come up on his own?

However, Di Hao did appear, and he actually opened the seal for him.

Only then did Di Jin embrace Shen Qingli and teleport away; the candle monster behind instantly poked its head out, wanting to come out as well.

Then it really did come out, and Di Hao didn't kick it back—instead, he was surprised and turned his head to look at it.

Di Hao said, "Your Primordial Elixir is about to shatter—nothing to fear."

The candle monster flew into a rage! It almost came to blows with Di Hao to prove it still deserved to be valued.

But Di Jin snapped, "Cut it out!"

The candle monster instantly restrained its aura, peeking at Shen Qingli.

This sight made Di Hao frown slightly—he had never seen such a shameless candle monster.

Nine Li had already jumped up, perched on Di Jin's shoulder, peeking at Shen Qingli, asking, "Is A Li okay?"

"Hmm." Di Jin affirmed, but not knowing why she still hadn't woken, so he planned to go find Di Hao for a clear answer.

Di Hao also saw the problem: "First settle her to sleep, then come with me."

Because Di Hao truly helped resolve the issue this time, Di Jin didn't argue with him, properly settled Shen Qingli to sleep, and then went with him.

However, he instructed the candle monster: "Watch over her, don't let the Taiqing Dian approach."

The candle monster nodded, understanding: "Every good thing in the Taiqing Dian! Even little troublemakers harbor the same seed."

As for Nine Li, needless to say, it simply lay down beside Shen Qingli's pillow and fell asleep, feeling that the whole Li was relaxed.

After sleeping so soundly, Nine Li still wasn't reassured about Shen Qingli, so it rubbed its eyes and got up to check on her.

Upon closer inspection, it was surprised: "Huh? Little star, what are you doing here?"

As it said that, it tried to jump onto Shen Qingli's abdomen, but was immediately slapped to the ground with a "pap".

Nine Li flew into a rage: "Who hit me?!"

"Roar!" The candle monster poked its head out—just one of its eyes was bigger than all of Nine Li.

It shrank back, especially upon seeing the candle monster's claws shielding Shen Qingli...

It scratched its head and said, "All right, I shouldn't have disturbed A Li while she wasn't awake; I was just curious how the little star ended up in A Li's belly."

Little star?

The candle monster turned its head.

Sure enough, a miniature Star-Seeing Mountain appeared from Shen Qingli's abdomen.

The candle monster also froze for a moment.

Nine Li had already run back, saying, "Little star, hurry down, don't press on A Li."

The Star-Seeing Mountain, however, shook its head and continued to sink back into Shen Qingli's abdomen.

"Huh?" Nine Li was bewildered: "If you don't come out, are you just going to stay in there?"

The Star-Seeing Mountain nodded, bobbing along, and then shrank back into Shen Qingli's uterus.

If it could speak, Nine Li would understand what it was saying: it wants to go back to protect little A Li.

But no one in the world could understand what it was trying to express...

However, the candle monster could actually sense the little treasure; it was precisely because of the little treasure's aura that it especially liked Shen Qingli.

This, too, is something no other living being in the world can comprehend.

But Di Jin just happened to return at this moment, seeing one, two—everyone staring at Shen Qingli's abdomen!
