Chapter 491: line with translation of chapter title
Di Hao, however, immediately arranged these old subordinates of his, saying, "Then just make up for it."
Seeing that the biggest problem had been arranged, Zhan Yuefeng also took over the job of cleaning up the battlefield himself.
Old Ancestor Tianqing then turned to Di Jin and Shen Qingli, "There's nothing else going on; you two must be tired—take the little one back to rest."
"Don't you even ask what I think?" Shen Qingli watched as a crowd surged in, then scattered in a hubbub, each going about their own business, feeling rather superfluous.
"You've already dealt with the Holy One in Heaven's Mouth; these little matters—do you really need to rush about?" Old Ancestor Tianqing countered.
If they can handle it, then of course just let them handle it!
Should we also let the newborn A Li endure more trouble?
"Go back, let your father give you proper nourishment."
"Minglan, go back too—you Shen lot are all hurt; why are you still loitering here? Go on, go back."
Old Ancestor Tianqing waved his arm—everything was already arranged—and told Di Hao, "You should go back as well; if anything comes up, just say so."
This arrangement undoubtedly gives Shen Qingli, Di Jin, and the whole family a good chance to rest and reunite.
Zhan Yuefeng added, "Exactly—first you reunite, then pick a good day to hold a feast celebrating Xiao Xiao Li's birth and the mother and child's safety. When the time comes, we'll all be there and gather again."
"Exactly!" Liu Meng nodded. "This way I'll have an excuse to drag the sect master and my master all the way to the Three Pure Heavens; otherwise they'd never come, dead or alive."
"Anyone left in the Divine Realm?" Shen Qingli's face flickered—she had thought the junior senior brother meant earlier that he was bringing all the Divine Realm's inhabitants to the Three Pure Heavens.
For now, the Divine Realm should have only Lady Houtu.
As long as the Divine Realm doesn't totally collapse, Lady Houtu won't face serious problems.
Then we still have time! I didn't expect the sect master and the others to still not have arrived.
"Don't worry, the passage remains open. We agreed that if anything goes wrong, we'll come right away. Before heading to Three Pure Town, they all came up."
But the old fogeys, unlike the senior sister, can't yet adapt to the Three Pure spiritual energy, so they can only stay temporarily in Huaxu City—you'll pass by on your way back," Zhan Yuefeng explained.
The Divine Realm's problems have long existed.
Zhan Yuefeng also knew early on the problems faced by the Divine Realm cultivators who came over.
These petty chores—being an idle sort, he naturally ought to have seen to them early; how could we wait for the busy little junior sister to do everything herself?
Shen Kuo also, feeling touched, put his arm around his daughter's shoulder: "Come on, Dad and Mom will take you back to have a look."
"I'm not hurt—I'll stay and help, and come back later." Shen Qinghuang had thought there'd be plenty to do in Three Pure Town, but it turned out to be the easiest, mainly because his little sister arrived just in time.
"I'll go with the eldest brother." Shen Qingmo felt he also had nothing to do.
"You can go back—is your injury not serious enough?" Shen Qinghuang snapped, "You don't need to risk your life now; we have plenty of hands. Get lost."
Shen Qingmo scratched his head—if it weren't for the eldest brother, he'd definitely not agree!
"Go back—your mother's waiting; every time she worries you'll be gone." Shen Duo also patted his son's shoulder.
Every time he goes out, his wife makes him keep an eye on this reckless eldest son, but now his cultivation is inferior to the son's—he can't even keep watch…
"Elder brother, shouldn't you go back and offer incense at your own grave?" Shen Qingtong suddenly said—and Shen Qinghuang promptly kicked her flying.
"Don't learn the good stuff—just copy Fourth Uncle's mouth." Shen Qinghuang was truly exasperated! He just couldn't shake off this annoying bunch of younger brothers to get some work done on his own?
The most leisurely, easy days turned out to be the period when he worked as a miner—his body was tired, but at least his heart wasn't.
Shen Qinghuang was truly exasperated by this bunch of bear-like younger brothers! He then glanced at the already sleeping Xiao Xiao Li and wondered, "So, is she our niece?"
"Let me have a look." Di Jin was also curious; at that moment he wanted to sneak a peek at the child, but……
Although the little one was asleep, when he reached out to tug, he got slapped—a small slap landed on the back of his hand.
"Pfft!" Di Hao really—he could no longer hold back; finally, there was something that could restrain this evil obstacle!
"This kid…" Di Jin dared to say it must be his son—and indeed worthy of his lineage.
"No, you all don't know whether it's my niece or nephew?" Shen Qinghuang couldn't understand.
Shen Kuo immediately glared at him: "Just because it's a nephew, you want to treat it differently? Do you think Xiao Xiao Li isn't lovable?"
These two deadly questions left Shen Qinghuang silent: "……I'll work, I'll work, later I'll go back to mooch a meal."
"Get lost." Shen Kuo, annoyed, also called Liu Meng: "Later when you come back with the big oaf, you're also a food lover."
"Great!" Liu Meng almost cheered, "Then I'll take my leave—see you later."
Zhan Yuefeng and the others also took their leave; Old Ancestor Tianqing left the old ox behind and went off to busy himself.
The whole family again climbed onto the most steady old green ox, first heading to the Shen family's old residence in Huaxu City.
Along the way, Zhong Minglan still eyed the sleeping little one longingly, wanting to take him from her son-in-law's arms.
But it's also strange! This little one actually wouldn't……
Whenever anyone tried to move, the little one clung tightly to his father!
Shen Kuo felt sour: "You brat, did you put a gu on Xiao Xiao Li when she was just born?"
"I guess so." Di Hao also felt sour—he also wanted to hold……
But he didn't go ahead and lose face—after all, even Mother Shen Qingli was 'rejected,' so what business does he have as a grandfather?
And Shen Qingli as the mother also couldn't help but ask: "So, A Jin, did you really do something to the child while I was asleep that I don't know about?"
"That really isn't the case; Xiao Xiao Li was playing with us at the time! Your childhood sweetheart kept holding you, never paying attention to Xiao Xiao Li." Jiu Li declared it could bear witness!
Jiu Ying also nodded, but also puzzled: "Really strange—I've heard kids usually cling to their mother. Earlier I saw Xiao Xiao Li was also very close to A Li; how come when asleep she clings to the father instead?"
"What's so strange about that!" Shen Que didn't understand: "Holding a child isn't heavy work! Xiao Xiao Li is just not letting A Li get too tired—dirty, tiring work is definitely the father's job."
…… Everyone fell silent.
Because everyone felt that what Shen Que said might be the truth.
"My goodness, what an angelic son? It's a son, right." Jiu Li actually felt that was the case.
"I bet eight heads! It's definitely a daughter!" Jiu Ying was very firm.
"Deal! When the time comes, your eight heads will be mine."
"You're dreaming, you lost! You let me be the elder brother! You make me the younger brother!"
"You're dreaming, my Taiji Elemental Beast: Jiu Li! How could I possibly lose?"
"Go argue elsewhere, don't argue with my child." Di Jin flicked his sleeve, throwing the two ox horns up to eat wind.
Shen Qingli then remembered, asking Di Hao, "Father, where are Jia Jia and Xiao Bai?"
After a moment of silence, Di Hao realized he had forgotten, "They still don't know you're fine; they're waiting in the Taiqing Dian for the Candle Monster to return with news."
Speaking of the Candle Monster, Di Hao also asked, "You didn't see the Candle Monster? It went to find you."
"What can that old reptile possibly do? You actually let it go find us." Di Jin was truly convinced, "It's surely lost, and I don't even know if it can find its way back."
Shen Qingli was already rubbing her forehead from listening, so she quickly had Di Jin send a message to Jia Jia and Xiao Bai; across the Heavenly Gate, she couldn't get the message through.
However, she wanted to discuss something with Di Jin, "I want to reorganize the Three Pure World; I need your help, especially the Taiqing Dian."
That one sentence also left everyone silent!
Jiu Li and Jiu Ying both stopped arguing, all looking at Shen Qingli.
Shen Qingli looked at their concerned and worried eyes, then chuckled, "Don't worry, I don't have any idea of sacrificing myself.
"I've been thinking, constantly patching things up like this isn't a solution. And didn't we say, the Land of Divine Punishment is the foundation; if the foundation is broken, no matter how you repair it, it won't last."
"What are your ideas?" Di Jin asked, "How should I cooperate with you?"
"How about a circle?" Shen Qingli had an idea, "Remove the Divine Realm, establish the Three Realms of Heaven, Earth, and Human. The Earth Realm is hell; the Lady of the Thick Earth continues to preside over it; the Human Realm is similar to Sheng Long Tian; the Heavenly Realm is similar to the Three Pure, or rather the Supreme Pure."
"A circle?" Jiu Li had something to say, "Earth?"
