Chapter 410

~8 min read 1,404 words

Di Jin, who was already uneasy, suddenly panicked, "What's wrong, does A Li's stomach still hurt?"

"I don't know." Jiu Li truly didn't know, "A Li's stomach hurts? When did that happen, so the little star is staying in A Li's belly because of the stomach ache?"

Scratching their head, Jiu Li looked again at Shen Qingli's belly, "Little star?"

But the little star didn't come out again, yet Di Jin finally figured out what was happening.

"The Star Phenomenon Mountain is inside A Li's belly?" Di Jin asked while looking, only then realizing the Star Phenomenon Mountain was indeed coiled between A Li's dantian.

This also startled them again; they immediately placed their hand over, carefully sensing Shen Qingli's dantian, worried she had a dantian problem.

However, Shen Qingli had already transformed her dantian into nine meridians, so there was no traditional dantian; thus Di Jin could only sense the nine meridians converging here.

Moreover, in Di Jin's perception, the nine meridians showed no abnormality.

However, when their breath slightly leaked outward, the true location where the Star Phenomenon Mountain was wrapped……

"A Li!"

"Little sister!"

The voices of Shen Yuan, Shen Qinghuang, and others gently knocking and calling came from outside the hall.

Di Jin's heart slightly settled, their hand already withdrawn, and they had the candle monster open the door.

The candle monster blew its beard and glared! But it still went……

But Di Jin also thus failed to notice that faint "unnatural" tremor in Shen Qingli's abdomen.

Instead, the Star Phenomenon Mountain brightened a bit, so when Shen Yuan and the others entered, they saw Shen Qingli lying there, her belly glowing?

"Still not better?" Shen Qinghuang immediately asked, they also having seen Shen Qingli clutch her belly before fainting, "What did your father say, is A Li injured, or……"

"Backlash." Di Jin replied, "It's fine now, but she's been continuously expending energy, so she's bound to be tired; let her sleep a bit longer."

"That's good." Shen Yuan finally felt relieved, and added their farewell, "Since A Li is fine, we shouldn't overstay,"

"How could it be inconvenient? There's still a banquet tonight." Di Jin couldn't let Shen Yuan and the others come without hospitality; before, they were too preoccupied, but now that they've emerged, it's natural to have Yuanwu True Lord arrange the feast.

"That's unnecessary; before you arrived, Elder Brother Yuanwu had already arranged it, and we've met many of your uncles and aunts, all of whom are quite well." Shen Yuan remained relatively reassured.

They had observed that the people here in the Taiqing Dian were all devoted cultivators, true recluses, without much scheming; this marriage alliance is indeed good.

But since they are busy cultivators, they naturally shouldn't overstay, which would truly be imposing on them; mainly because A Li is fine, they also felt relieved.

But Di Jin hit their soft spot with one remark, "Can you really feel at ease leaving without waiting for A Li to wake up?"

They really weren't that reassured……

However, they probably felt that relatives were all nearby waiting.

Shen Qingli's curled long lashes also trembled, and Jiu Li was the first to notice, "A Li, awake?"

Having faintly heard the presence, Shen Qingli's fingertips twitched, and she immediately felt that familiar hand grasp hers.

"Older sister?" Di Jin leaned in and whispered softly, their voice light and gentle, also numbing the Yuanwu True Lord who had come to watch the excitement.

Huh……

This is actually the Young Master's voice?

Disgusted……

Yuanwu True Lord shuddered, then heard the sound of similar clothing rubbing beside them.

Afterward, Di Jin already shouted outward, "If you want to look, look; sneaking around, do you have any elder's demeanor?"

"Hah." Yuanwu True Lord wasn't embarrassed, entered with hands behind back, still calm and composed, "We came to see how the Young Master's lady is doing; who would have thought we'd hear the Young Master acting coquettish—truly a sight to behold."

Back then, the Young Master was so tiny, they never acted coquettish!

Never expected that, now grown up, they've become affectionate.

Tsk!

More than a dozen True Lords and Yuan Lords, their glances were all especially subtle.

Shen Qingli opened her eyes under such subtle gazes.

"Awake, awake!" Jiu Li called out childishly.

Shen Qingli hadn't fully regained consciousness yet, when Di Jin's handsome face loomed close, blocking her entire view.

Even Jiu Li couldn't squeeze into her field of view, let alone anyone else……

"Brother-in-law, make some room!"

Shen Qingshi still wanted to rely on the noble status of their brother-in-law to contend!

But it was useless! Di Jin pretended not to hear at all, already asking, "Older sister."

Shen Qingli blinked, mainly wondering why just moments ago she saw many strangers, but in the blink of an eye only Di Jin's familiar face remained—was it an illusion?

"Does your stomach still hurt?" Di Jin asked again, their hand once more placed on Shen Qingli's lower abdomen; no matter what others say, Shen Qingli's own feeling is most important and truest.

Shen Qingli shook her head, "No longer hurts."

Saying that, she instinctively tried to rise.

Di Jin immediately supported and embraced her waist and back, almost enveloping her whole person in their arms.

Shen Qingli also didn't feel anything wrong, until she saw a row of legs……

"?" Shen Qingli lifted her gaze.

One familiar face after another, unfamiliar faces, appeared in succession.

Only then did she finally hear their voices; just now she truly hadn't heard them at all!

It wasn't that her hearing was faulty; it was Di Jin who had tampered, fundamentally preventing her from hearing anyone else's voice besides their own!

Now the "cover-up" can't be concealed, so they're no longer monopolizing……

"Uncle Da, Uncle Si?"

"Older brother, second brother…… you're all here?"

"And me?" The Heavenly Pure Elder also squeezed out their head to join the fun.

Shen Qingli was practically sweating with embarrassment, there were so many people! She instinctively wanted to push Di Jin away, feeling embarrassed to be rubbing against him in front of everyone. But Di Jin wouldn't allow it……

"Besides me, little girl, do you still remember me? No, Young Lord's wife, after three days apart, one should look at you with new eyes." Yuanwu True Lord sighed, he originally thought that this little girl's fate with the Young Lord would end there, and there would be no further involvement in the future.

Who would have thought, the Emperor Sovereign actually brought everyone back to the Taiqing Dian.

What does that mean?

Yuanwu True Lord knew the score.

But he actually still had many questions he couldn't figure out.

However, that no longer mattered.

With the little girl around, the Young Lord shouldn't cause trouble anymore.

"I remember."

Shen Qingli certainly still remembered him; how could she forget?

"Don't hold a grudge against me; if you must hold a grudge, hold it against the Emperor Sovereign—I was just following orders."

Yuanwu True Lord himself knew the situation, and immediately emphasized that he too was helpless, so as to prevent this Young Lord's wife from having the Young Lord make things difficult for him later—he didn't have the Emperor Sovereign's abilities and would definitely not be able to withstand it.

However, as soon as he finished saying that, the hall fell into complete silence……

Nothing else, Di Hao had arrived.

Yuanwu True Lord's several colleagues tacitly scattered, letting Di Hao's gaze fall straight onto his back.

As a result, Yuanwu True Lord instantly felt a chill down his back! His scalp went numb.

And to make matters worse, Jiu Li said, "That's the old geezer who ordered you to break up the lovebirds!"

Yuanwu True Lord broke out in a cold sweat! At this moment, he really wanted to strangle that little iron-eating beast right in front of him!

Honestly, if you can't speak, you might as well be mute! Is that something you can say to someone's face?

However, Di Jin didn't let him off either, saying, "Yes, that's the dead old geezer he was talking about."

Yuanwu True Lord really wanted to die on the spot……

Everyone else looked at him with genuine sympathy and concern.

As for Di Hao, he didn't look at Yuanwu True Lord anymore, but instead turned his gaze to the person in Di Jin's arms—that is, Shen Qingli's face, which was still somewhat pale.
