Chapter 415: How could there be no hidden move
If it's true, then it's good to just lie down.
It's better than constantly feeling awful; as long as A Li gets better, that's fine.
Jiu Li probably thought so; another paw kept hugging Shen Qingli's neck, and its small body kept pressing against her.
"I'm pretty good now." Shen Qingli looked, aside from her face still a bit pale, her spirit was indeed fine, "just a little worried about my parents."
"Don't worry." Old Ancestor Tianqing suppressed his complex heartache and comforted, "Since Taiqing Dian has promised to lend a hand, they will surely be able to save them. But after all, the injuries are too severe; it's normal that they can't be saved that quickly."
"Mm." Shen Qingli nodded, "It's quite unexpected that Taiqing Dian would intervene; aren't they supposed to no longer concern themselves with worldly affairs?"
"You're different; you are now the female sovereign of the human race." Old Ancestor Tianqing laughed, "Isn't saying one month enough? In a month, we'll go fetch them back."
"Alright, then I'll rest a bit." Shen Qingli felt a little tired.
"Go on, go on." Shen Yuan quickly waved his hand, "Family and divine realm affairs don't need your worry; Uncle will arrange everything."
"Then thank you for the trouble." Shen Qingli expressed her thanks and left; the road back to the hall was precise, not a single mistake.
It seemed as if, in her memory, only Di Jin was missing; everything else remained normal, and even the events matched up.
Regarding everything about Di Jin's intervention, Taiqing will itself arrange logical people and events to fill in the gaps, so that someone of her stature won't recall anything and find anything incomprehensible.
Not only that!
Old Ancestor Tianqing and Shen Yuan also discovered——
They not only cannot mention Di Jin in front of Shen Qingli,
but each of them, in private, can no longer mention anything about Di Jin!
It seemed as if Taiqing was even erasing all traces of Di Jin.
Because, he originally did not belong outside Taiqing Dian.
Taiqing Dian.
Yutian Shaoge.
Di Haoshen glanced at the bed where the little scoundrel still showed no signs of life.
Then he rose and returned to the interior of Taiqing Zhudian.
After sitting for a moment, he then took out the Candle Monster Elemental Pill.
The Candle Monster immediately appeared, 'Roar?'
"'Take the person out, and I will naturally return it to you.'"
Di Haoshen knew it was asking for the Elemental Pill, but,
"'No.'"
"'Roar!'"
The Candle Monster flew into a rage!
Just said it would return it!
How come it's not allowed again?
Damn bastard!
"'The Elemental Pill is his; go ask him for it.'"
"'It's not mine to take, nor can I give it.'"
After Di Haoshen finished responding, he already used divine power to draw out Shen Kuo and Zhong Minglan from within the Elemental Pill.
Just as everyone firmly believed he would not go back on his word, he indeed did not, and had already begun rescuing people.
The Candle Monster, having been expelled by him from Taiqing Dian, fumed and kept loitering atop the hall, cursing nonstop!
Not returning its Elemental Pill is already enough!
And not letting it follow his daughter-in-law!
Malicious!
Despicable!
"Ptooey!"
The Candle Monster was so angry it spat saliva.
After spitting, it felt embarrassed and returned to its 'old nest'.
And within its 'old nest,' Shen Qingmo was still struggling desperately!
True Lord Yuanwu had counted; this kid had already died twice down there!
The first time he worried a bit; the second time he didn't really care, just curious how long this kid intended to stay crazy.
But he soon stopped paying attention! Because he sensed that within Yutian Shaoge, vitality was gathering.
"'Has the Young Sovereign come back to life?'"
True Lord Yuanwu almost instantaneously reached the bedside of Di Jin!
But he was still late; everyone else was faster than him!
Already crowded around Di Jin's bed, he, such a big person, couldn't squeeze in!
However, he could sense it! Vitality was truly returning.
"'Great!'"
"'Before, there was no movement at all; could it be because the Sovereign is present, preferring death to seeing the Sovereign?'"
True Lord Yuanwu muttered while squeezing in, then inexplicably felt he ought to have figured it out! It's probably indeed like that.
This truly is very much like a Young Sovereign! Isn't this little drama queen just that kind of person?
……
At that time.
Shen Qingli, however, had just lain down.
Jiu Li stayed by her pillow, watching her fall asleep.
Although she fell asleep extremely quickly, it felt terrible.
Shen Que and Yu Jia also came out, one turning into a fifteen- or sixteen-year-old boy, lying beside Shen Qingli's bed, the other still like a chick perched on the bedhead, looking down at Shen Qingli's sleeping face.
The three beasts said nothing, silently accompanying Shen Qingli.
After a long while, Yu Jia asked, "Little star."
The Star Symbol Mountain still coiled in Shen Qingli's belly stirred, but did not emerge.
Because little Xiao Li's condition was not good, it could not leave; it had to stand guard.
"How—" Yu Jia was about to ask, but finally, upon sensing the Star Symbol Mountain's location, she choked.
It suddenly realized something! But it didn't speak, because it also sensed that the little cub seemed unwell, likely because the little cub should have perished under the power of Grand Purity, yet the little cub still lives!
Yu Jia's little eyes brightened! Perhaps this is the turning point.
Even if not, the Star Symbol Mountain has kept the little cub safe; this will surely make A Li happiest of all.
"Is it that A Li's wound hasn't healed?" Jiu Li, still young, didn't know what the little star's position signified.
Shen Que, who doesn't even read storybooks, understood even less, so Yu Jia nodded, saying, "Probably, let it stay like this, and don't tell anyone else; as long as we know."
"Of course." Jiu Li fidgeted with its paws, suddenly wanting to snuggle up to Shen Que, but Shen Que gave it a cold glance; it embarrassedly scratched its face, "Can you hug me~"
"Hmph." Shen Que sneered, "Then you're secretly licking me, right?"
Jiu Li scratched its head, "Oh, what's wrong with a good brother letting me lick him? It's better to benefit myself than others!"
Shen Que, hearing that, just wanted to strangle Jiu Li! But Yu Jia said, "Don't argue, A Li is still tired; let her sleep a bit longer."
Carrying a little baby, she must be exhausted, and having gone through so much, she needs proper rest.
But the news that Shen Qingli had returned while Di Jin did not follow spread like wings attached to the remnants of the Yu State, flying into the ears of the high-ranking members of the Four Heavenly Gods Tribe.
That night, Ji Zhongwen came.
He was the first to realize that one must no longer mention Di Jin.
So he also clearly understood that Shen Qingli and Di Jin's fate had ended.
Although his coming now might be somewhat taking advantage of her situation, he simply couldn't stay still; he wanted to know if she was alright.
That day, Ji Zhongwen could see that the strong-willed, powerful Shen Qingli actually relied heavily on that Young Lord; embracing him, she must have cried, and they held each other for a long, long time.
Now, suddenly separated, it must be painful.
But Ji Zhongwen couldn't see Shen Qingli; he could only see Zhan Yuefeng.
"Should I call you Brother Zhan?" Ji Zhongwen recalled what Zhan Yuefeng had said that day.
"Call me Yuefeng." Zhan Yuefeng sincerely paid his respects, "Elder Brother Wen, do you want to see the little junior sister?"
Ji Zhongwen nodded, "But she probably doesn't want to see me; how is she, is she still alright?"
Zhan Yuefeng couldn't say, "For now, perhaps she's okay, she's resting, indeed it's inconvenient."
Otherwise, given Ji Zhongwen's gratitude toward him, he would also go sound things out; if the little junior sister doesn't mind and can be seen, he would gladly do a favor.
Of course, it all depends on the little junior sister herself; if she has no inclination at all, he certainly won't let Ji Zhongwen disturb her, even though he is his benefactor.
"It's fine, I'm just worried." Ji Zhongwen sat down, "Next game?"
"Not busy?" Zhan Yuefeng raised an eyebrow, according to his knowledge, Ji Yun Doumu had already been transferring some clan affairs to Ji Zhongwen's hands; do you still have time?
"Making room is always possible." Ji Zhongwen had already taken out the chessboard, "Few can play a game with me; you're still the only one who won't let me win."
From childhood, he has in fact already been the designated young lord of the Ji clan, the most noble.
Only because, from birth, he was the child with the highest degree of ancestral bloodline return in the clan and the purest divine power.
Naturally extraordinary, yet destined to have no peers as playmates.
On the contrary, the equally extraordinary but suffering and bullied Xia Kun could chat with him.
Zhan Yuefeng also didn't refuse, but he wanted to add, "Speaking of the little junior sister, he almost became my little junior disciple; regardless of outcome, the two of them are something outsiders cannot interfere with, Elder Brother Wen is smart, you should understand."
He does not want the person before him to become like Pei Jianshu.
To love but be unable, eventually turning into enemies, is not what he wishes.
"I understand."
Ji Zhongwen is indeed smart, but even a smart person cannot suppress his own emotions.
He himself knows that he is now sitting here playing chess, yet he still hopes to see her once more.
Zhan Yuefeng can roughly guess, but it's not good to openly drive him away, especially since this person is basically already half the Ji clan chief.
And almost at this moment——
Di Jin opened his eyes, and at a glance saw a group of old men and old women.
He furrowed his brows, "What are you doing?"
"Young Lord?"
The old fellows stared fixedly at him, wanting to ask but unable to, they were practically dying of anxiety.
"Get lost!"
Di Jin had already impatiently waved them away.
Yet not one of them was willing to leave……
"Young Lord, are you alright?"
"What could happen to me? Could he still slap me to death?"
That sentence silenced everyone, especially those who knew Di Jin's first death was indeed caused by a slap from that person; she nearly couldn't hold back her emotions for a moment.
The Young Lord's memory, this is a return to the beginning!
The Emperor's tactic is still quite extreme.
"……"
The silent Primordial Lord rose and left.
Everyone watched her back, and they all followed.
Original Martial True Lord did not want to leave, but was still driven away by Di Jin.
Youthful vigor! Aloof and lofty, yet not the later disdain for the exalted and remote.
Still immature, he dare not directly provoke the Supreme Emperor; truly just a little troublemaker.
"Also good."
"It should be this way."
Original Martial True Lord stood dazed for a while, only able to sum up these two words.
He shouldn't feel upset; this is actually what he hoped for when he first took in the Young Lord.
Now, it's merely a return to the original path.
It hasn't been long, yet he actually changed his original intention.
No wonder his cultivation cannot advance further; he is indeed too easily swayed.
After sighing, Original Martial True Lord slowly left; unaware, after they all departed, Di Jin emerged from the house, not only concealing his aura but also heading toward the Boundless Abyss.
It's not that he didn't forget.
But Di Jin has always known one thing since childhood——
His father, Emperor Hao, actually cannot enter the Boundless Abyss, so he hides everything of his inside.
Just now, upon waking—
No, it should be said before he even woke!
A voice has been urging him by his ear, urging him to wake quickly and go to the Boundless Abyss.
He was woken by the noise.
This voice is especially childish, like an infant's?
