Chapter 411: Mysterious Little Li. Di Hao's Secret

As their eyes met, a beautiful hand with long, slender fingers and distinct joints blocked them.

"You old fool, still trying to scare my wife's older sister?" Di Jin gave him no face at all.

The other True Monarchs and Yuan Lords could no longer stand and said they were taking their leave.

But Di Hao said, "Wasn't I invited to tonight's banquet?"

"Whether you come or not, in three days we'll have a fair fight."

Di Jin's words made True Monarch Yuanwu and the others suck in a cold breath! This is basically courting death!

But contrary to their expectations, Di Hao's response was, "Sure."

"Your Majesty, the Young Lord is just joking; with his meager abilities, how could he possibly fight you?" True Monarch Yuanwu hurried to smooth things over.

"Roar!" the Candle Monster let out a hiss, and it was still there! What a piece of trash is it? For the little evil obstacle to challenge Di Hao like this, it would surely help!

Father and son at each other's throats!

It absolutely loved it.

"Add you in, and there's still a chance to win."

True Monarch Yuanwu hadn't expected the Candle Monster to be so enthusiastic.

Moreover, this guy looks like he's completely submitted to the Young Lord?

Wrong, True Monarch Yuanwu immediately realized——

What he's submitted to isn't the Young Lord, but the Young Lord's wife!

After letting out that roar, the Candle Monster stubbornly shoved its head up to Shen Qingli, as if wanting praise after showing off.

Seeing that, Di Jin slapped it away with one palm: "Looking that ugly, what are you showing off for? Don't scare my A Li sister."

The Candle Monster flew into a rage! But it indeed didn't move forward any further.

But Shen Qingli said, "Not ugly at all—where's the ugliness? Is this your mount?"

As she spoke and reached out her hand, when the Candle Monster poked its head forward, she actually touched its forehead!

"..."

Everyone in the hall held their breath at that moment.

Especially True Monarch Yuanwu and the others!

They knew all too well that the Candle Monster was nothing good.

And its forehead is its vital point! Like a dragon's reverse scale, it must never be touched.

Even Di Jin, at the first moment, pinched the Candle Monster's Primordial Core, guarding against its mischief!

But even holding the Primordial Core, Di Jin still wasn't at ease, sticking close to Shen Qingli, just in case!

However, there was no mishap at all.

The Candle Monster even used its tentacles to wrap around Shen Qingli's arm, rubbing and nuzzling……

Di Jin: "?"

Even Di Hao frowned again.

However, he then turned his gaze to Di Jin.

In his view, the Candle Monster's fawning and obsequious behavior was most likely due to its Primordial Core being controlled.

But that's not true; controlling the Primordial Core only makes the Candle Monster wary of acting, it can't make it actively approach.

Yet at this moment, no one noticed that; they all just thought it was because of Di Jin.

Shen Qingli thought it was a companion that had grown up with Di Jin, like her little friends.

"No, it's the Candle Monster, the master of that Primordial Core." Di Jin explained.

Only then did Shen Qingli understand, but then she had a moment of no reaction: "……Is it from the same era as that disgusting thing of the Kirin Lord?"

The four words "disgusting thing" made the Candle Monster stiffen,

but Shen Qingli then said, "It's really been wronged, this big white one."

"Big white?" Di Jin glanced at the Candle Monster, indeed all white fur, and felt somewhat at a loss for words.

The Candle Monster does have white fur, but its body bears twisted, ferocious blood patterns; it actually looks quite fierce.

Jiu Li scratched his head, "A Li, you picked such a casual nickname—this really ought to be called 'Flower Arm'!"

"Flower?" Seems like it too. Shen Qingli looked it over, "Flower Arm isn't bad; the patterns are quite nice."

The Candle Monster instantly felt satisfied, and even glared at Di Jin! A clueless little evil obstacle, how could it have such great fortune to marry such a beautiful, discerning wife? It's like putting fresh flowers on cow dung.

Such interaction……

also completely overlooked Di Hao, who ought to be supreme and unrivaled.

But no one gave him a way out, especially Shen Yuan and the others, who completely ignored him!

After all, Jiu Li's words were exactly what they wanted to say.

Before, the situation wasn't clear, and plus Shen Qingli was in danger at the time, but,

Shen Yuan, after thinking it over, still took the initiative to thank: "Your Majesty, A Li, we are truly grateful this time. If ever there is a need, my Shen clan will surely spare no effort!"

Not just empty words.

The gratitude for saving Shen Qingli's life.

They all remembered it.

In the future, if there truly is a need, they are all willing to lay down their lives for it.

"Not bad."

Shen Duo, Shen Qinghuang, and the others had already spoken in unison, and bowed deeply in neat rows.

It wasn't because of Di Hao's status and cultivation level, but because he saved Shen Qingli.

"No need."

Di Hao's tone was flat; he also originally had no designs on this family.

Their lives also meant nothing to him.

But he looked at Shen Qingli again, "Let's talk."

"What to talk about?" Di Jin sensed something off, "You wouldn't want to force A Li, would you? I'm telling you, don't even think about it!"

"What are you afraid of?" Di Hao's tone grew even flatter, "Afraid she won't want you? If she truly doesn't value you that much, you'd better pull yourself together early— isn't that good?"

"You—"

"What do you want to say?"

Shen Qingli spoke while gripping Di Jin's hand, telling him not to be anxious.

"Are you sure you want to say that?"

Di Hao glanced around, but he didn't mind.

"Sure."

Shen Qingli also had nothing she couldn't say to outsiders.

"Alright."

Di Hao was very direct.

"I intervene not for no reason; I want you to personally end the affection between you and my son Di Jin."

"No—"

Di Jin objected on the spot, but Di Hao immediately silenced him! Then he continued—

"I can save your parents; this is the condition and sincerity I offer."

After he spoke, he didn't restrain Di Jin's voice anymore, but Di Jin didn't speak again.

Because, with Di Jin's current ability, he couldn't save Shen Kuo and Zhong Minglan; he hadn't even found a method.

If Shen Qingli therefore chose to agree, he also had nothing to say— after all, her parents-in-law are two lives; what about him? He also isn't at a point of certain death.

So, Di Jin even chose for Shen Qingli, "Agree to him."

Now, not to mention Shen Qingli, everyone else is dazed!

"Agree to him, first save Mom and Dad." Di Jin said sincerely.

Shen Qingli could tell, and immediately understood his intention; her eyes instantly welled up with heat.

But could Di Hao not know the nature of his own drama-queen son? He certainly knew.

So he also said, "What I mean by ending is not what you think; after ending, you can still continue. Otherwise, I wouldn't need to risk half my life."

Given his realm and means, even if he were to save Shen Kuo's couple, mainly Zhong Minglan, it wouldn't be that simple! It would almost require gambling half his life, so he couldn't allow this young couple any loophole.

As Lord of Taiqing Dian, he must bear responsibility for the entire Taiqing Dian; he absolutely cannot let the wicked son's karma cut off the livelihood of all Taiqing Dian's subordinates.

Therefore, he spoke clearly, "I want you, before Taiqing and A Li, to mutually sever each other's memories and entanglements completely. Then I will intervene to save people."

You can refuse, or go look for another method. But your fate today I have already deduced; in this world, even if the Kirin Sovereign himself, he cannot save— only I can.
