Chapter 431: with translation of title

The Ji clan is located south of the Three Pure Ones.

"Earth Emperor Island?"

Jiu Li instinctively thought of the Rehmannia Pill~

"Not bad."

Zhan Yuefeng was still popularizing the Dao.

After Pangu opened heaven and earth, there then existed the Heavenly Sovereign clan, the Earthly Sovereign clan, and the Human Sovereign clan ruling over the Nine Provinces. Among them, the Human Sovereign clan evolved into the Huaxu tribe, dwelling in the three central provinces, possessing the greatest strength and also being the most benevolent.

The Heavenly Sovereign clan are the ancestors of the Si clan, while the Earthly Sovereign clan are the ancestors of the Ji clan. These two clans have reproduced from antiquity to the present, never severing their lineage; their strength and foundation far surpass those of the later-emerging Xia, Yin, and He clans.

Jiu Li instantly raised its paw, "It's just as ancient as A Li's ancestors, but they weren't secretly schemed against and eliminated~ So they just relied on enduring long and took a shortcut."

"... You're good at summarizing." Zhan Yuefeng offered it a small sweet drink.

Jiu Li drank it happily, then climbed into Shen Qingli's arms to show off, looking extremely pleased with its own cleverness.

Xiao Bai couldn't hold back, exposing it, "But it can only count one, two,"

"Don't you dare speak!" Jiu Li flared angrily.

Xiao Bai laughed, and indeed didn't speak again.

But it loomed mightily, looking down upon the Earth Emperor Island below.

"Nowadays, the Nine Provinces are actually a division of the earlier three provinces."

"The three provinces under Earth Emperor Island have always been ancient fertile lands passed down from antiquity."

"The three provinces under Heaven Emperor Island are the same."

Zhan Yuefeng pointed to the three major provinces beneath the clouds, as well as the heavenly palaces stationed in each, introducing them one by one.

"That place, surrounded by clouds and mist, with a faint divine halo, is where the direct lineage of the Ji clan resides."

"Unlike the Xia clan, the Ji clan does not harshly punish clansmen who lose their divine halo; they merely need to relocate to the three provinces."

Within the divine clans, not every newborn divine clan infant naturally possesses a divine halo, but each clan has its own way of dealing with it.

The more inferior a clan is, the more they hide such infants, even strangling or killing them, to show that they never give birth to ordinary people.

On the contrary, the Ji and Si clans, these great clans that have reproduced since antiquity, are relatively able to accept such 'degeneration,' but——

"Actually, nobody is truly a divine being; we're all just humans, yet we discriminate against each other. It's merely fifty steps laughing at a hundred steps." Shen Kuo remarked indifferently.

As for the so-called divine clan, just like Shen Qingli, I've always looked down on them.

"Exactly, I, pah! That young master, they're the real divine clan, and I haven't seen them fuss over that hollow divine halo." Shen Qingci spat bluntly.

"Ahem, let's keep our talk polite later." Zhan Yuefeng really feared that upon first meeting, this whole family would immediately clash with the four great clans.

"Don't worry, we'll act mute." Shen Qingtong said, "You just say more when the time comes."

Zhan Yuefeng rubbed his forehead, and Jiu Li laughed at him, "Being a diplomat isn't easy~"

"Diplomatic official?" Zhan Yuefeng chuckled, and besides, that's a pretty precise title, much more precise than "Divine Master".

But after saying all that, seeing no response from Shen Qingli, he couldn't help but ask, "Junior Sister?"

Shen Qingli actually wasn't listening; she was secretly observing her own primordial spirit realm.

Ever since gaining an opportunity on Qingyao Mountain last time, her primordial spirit realm has shown signs of an imminent upgrade.

Later she even went straight into "closed-door cultivation," unable to enter or exit, clearly indicating she was upgrading.

This time there seems to be some movement? I don't know what good thing it'll bring…

"Junior Sister?"

"Ah?"

Shen Qingli came to her senses.

"What did I say, did you hear it?"

"I heard, I've noted it all down."

Shen Qingli expressed solemnly and seriously.

"Really?"

"Of course!"

Shen Qingli promised.

Actually she didn't hear a single word.

"Good."

Zhan Yuefeng was about to repeat his instructions again.

But Jiu Li suddenly sprang up, "Wow~"

"It blinded my cute eyes! Who is that~"

At this very moment, appearing before Shen Qingli's group was a line of radiant golden Ji clan elites.

Regardless of gender, all uniformly handsome and beautiful, already the finest among humans! But——

Leading them, Ji Zhongwen, was far more dignified and splendid, giving off an inviolable aura like a sacred statue.

"Marvelous!"

"Using ugly freaks as a backdrop isn't anything."

"Using peerless beauty to set off oneself is truly the ultimate!"

Jiu Li understood, this is high-end male competition, even dragging out one's own family to step on.

But it was still thinking too shallowly; Zhan Yuefeng noticed it more keenly!

This guy is clearly……

"Wait! Why does his vibe feel so familiar to me?"

Jiu Li grabbed its fluffy ears, suddenly feeling a sudden realization!

Hey~ substitute literature!

This is clearly just trying hard to doll yourself up for Di Jin!

The male rivalry has gotten to this point, even stand-ins are willing to do it, not caring about their lives!

What nonsense are you talking?

Shen Qingli at that time just held Jiu Li in her arms.

This distance is already close, just keep muttering...

Even with a soundproof barrier, given Ji Zhongwen's cultivation level, and being on his turf, it's still possible to be overheard.

Jiu Li struggled to climb onto her shoulder, put its arms around her neck, and whispered, "Do you think he's handsome?"

Shen Qingli's eyesight is no worse than Jiu Li's; at this distance she could already see clearly Ji Zhongwen's specially dressed appearance, and...

Tell the truth, I won't tell anyone else.

He's quite handsome.

Right!

Jiu Li put its hands on its hips.

This guy has a lot of scheming!

Shen Qinghuang had already looked toward his younger uncle.

What's with that look?

Shen Kuo can't quite figure it out.

I also think he looks a bit familiar now.

It's like, just having seen that someone,

Shen Qinghuang hadn't forgotten that he initially actually thought the brother-in-law was a new younger brother.

As it turned out, the younger brother was actually a childhood groom raised by the uncle for the younger sister, not only well-behaved but also very low-maintenance.

Now this actually has a hint of that flavor...

Of course, no one can replace the position of the main wife's younger sister's husband.

Shen Qinghuang clenched his fist, showing he was very determined.

In just a moment, the old green ox had already walked up to Ji Zhongwen.

Ji Zhongwen immediately paid his respects, saying, "Zhongwen has greeted everyone, and greeted Elder Shen."

Afterward, all the young men and women of the Ji clan hurriedly bowed, saying, "We pay our respects to Female Venerable Shen!"

Zhan Yuefeng rubbed his forehead, this is still to show off how Ji Zhongwen has already governed the clan so smoothly, with no dissent, giving him absolute autonomy, right?

But these are just the youngsters, the elders—

Female Venerable Shen. Ji Yun, the Doumu, has arrived.

Female Venerable Shen. The Ji clan elders also all came, and they were all quite courteous to Shen Qingli.

There's no weird yin-yang stuff; this is obviously because of Ji Zhongwen.

What is this?

This is telling the Shen family and everyone close to Shen Qingli that such a situation in the Taiqing Hall will not happen to Ji Zhongwen!

One word: absolute!

Zhan Yuefeng's eyelids were twitching.

Shen Qingli had no idea about this!

She just thought the Ji clan was being polite, and she returned the courtesy, saying, "Thank you, Ji Clan Chief, everyone, Young Master Ji."

Elder Shen was polite, "Please, everyone." Ji Zhongwen didn't oilily ask not to be called "Young Master" or such, orderly welcoming Shen Yuan and others into the clan, but deliberately walked to Shen Qingli's side.

It was also at this moment—

Shen Qingli's stomach actually let out a "gurgle".
