Chapter 518: Oh my, I've made the child groom angry— the two mothers are trying to soothe him

Di Jin said while also letting the Candle Monster out.

The big guy's eyes cleared the moment he saw Xiao Xiao Li.

But then he heard Di Jin's outrageous remark! He almost flew into a rage!

"Huh?"

The Candle Monster held back again and again, only then did it refrain from attacking Di Jin, instead angrily demanding.

Did it provoke him? No!

It could be said it helped him, after all!

Is this how he repays it?

As expected, the offspring of a great evil is just a troublemaker!

It knew that whatever the demon spawn was doing to its Primordial Pill couldn't be good.

"Hng!"

The Candle Monster immediately spat out the Primordial Pill!

It demanded that Di Jin fix it!

What do the All Heavens and Three Pure Worlds have to do with it, the Candle Monster?

But Di Jin refused, saying, "This cannot be undone; stop struggling, just swallow it back."

"Roar!"

The Candle Monster really got angry!

"Ah~"

Xiao Xiao Li, however, pointed at him and let out a childish cry.

The Candle Monster instantly turned its gaze to him, blazing with anger—then it vanished in an instant.

"Huh?"

The Candle Monster looked at Shen Qingli and asked, because it didn't want to say another word to Di Jin!

Shen Qingli could also understand its meaning and feel its affection for Xiao Xiao Li.

This affection had already been clearly shown even when she was pregnant.

Therefore, Shen Qingli replied, "Yes, I gave birth to him, Xiao Xiao Li."

"Huh~"

The Candle Monster just knew!

So cute.

As expected, it's Xiao Xiao Li.

The Candle Monster, whose dragon whiskers had already drooped, gently rubbed against Xiao Xiao Li's arm.

Xiao Xiao Li's eyes lit up; he had already flipped from his mother's embrace onto the Candle Monster's dragon whiskers, which were thicker than his own body.

"Roar!"

The Candle Monster nervously coiled around him.

It also took a lot of effort!

If it used too much force, it feared strangling him.

If it used too little force, it feared him slipping off.

"Click~"

Xiao Xiao Li was still very excited!

He even patted the Candle Monster's whiskers, signaling it to loosen.

Then he slid down the Candle Monster's slick dragon whiskers!

"Roar!"

The Candle Monster, frightened, hastily curled up its dragon whiskers.

Xiao Xiao Li instantly flipped upward along the Candle Monster's coiled dragon whiskers, just like riding a thrilling ferris wheel.

"Click-click~"

Xiao Xiao Li was so excited he almost screamed.

"Ahhh! Ahya~"

Xiao Xiao urged the Candle Monster to go again.

These two seemed able to communicate...

Anyway, the Candle Monster quickly became an endless ferris wheel for Xiao Xiao Li.

The child's joyful laughter also made the ignored Di clan members in the hall's center feel even more devastated.

Di Furong already shouted hoarsely, "I don't believe it! Young Lord, it's not like this! It definitely isn't like this!"

"Not bad! You are the deity our clan worships! Our clan exists because of you; you cannot abandon us."

"Yes, yes, yes! Please, Young Lord, save us!" The venerables all kowtowed in plea.

They all understood that if Di Jin truly didn't care, they might really have no hope!

Who else could stop the Weixi Xu Zhu? No one.

But Di Jin had already made it clear—he could not fulfill their wishes.

Since they don't understand, Di Jin is about to make them wake up in a way that lets them clearly accept reality!

However, Shen Qingli acted first, restraining him.

"Sister?"

Di Jin looked puzzled at the binding rules entwining his body.

Shen Qingli had already given the order, "Wen Yuan, take him down."

The entire venue fell silent, everyone stunned.

Even the playing Xiao Xiao Li and Candle Monster were dumbfounded.

But the Candle Monster immediately gloated, "Roar!"

"Huh?" Xiao Xiao Li looked confused, "Aren't Mom and Dad okay?"

But Shen Qingli's decision would not change for any reason, "Take him down."

This was clearly a repeat order to Wen Yuan; he immediately came to his senses, "Yes!"

However, he who had come before Di Jin did not rudely seize him, saying, "Young Lord, pardon my intrusion, please."

He well knew that if Di Jin was unwilling, he could not control it.

Even if Di Jin bore the Void Master's seal, it would be the same.

So it would have been better to be polite from the start.

Di Jin also did not make things difficult for him, and moreover did not glance at Shen Qingli again, already strolling down from the hall.

Shen Qingli watched his back, pursing her lips and her fingertips trembling a few times, as if wanting to call a halt, but she did not.

If Di Jin had acted toward her as he had just done, she would likely have gone along with it, and it would not have concerned him.

But he did not.

Yet it let Shen Qingli keep watching him until he left the hall.

Di Furong then reacted, "Brother Jin! She's treating you like this, and you still want to indulge him?"

The venerables all chimed in as well! They really couldn't comprehend it—Master Wei Xi obviously wasn't buying this person's favor! After all this, still loyal like a dog?

Yes.

Di Jin remained as such.

He didn't even linger for a moment.

He perhaps didn't understand, and was angry.

But he would not thereby change his original resolve, nor would he do anything to hurt her in order to make her regret and yield.

At any time, he would not.

When Shen Qingli was the Void Master, he would not.

When Shen Qingli returned to the mundane, he would not either.

No matter what she had done to him, he had never harmed her.

"……"

Shen Qingli lowered her eyes, then suddenly rose to her feet.

Xiao Xiao Li immediately flung himself into her arms.

Shen Qingli held him and walked out of the great hall.

As for Di Furong and the others, they were all released from the Ancestral Hall.

"What is this supposed to be?"

Di Furong, who felt no excitement, only felt humiliated and helpless.

She had treated Wei Xi that way, yet not only was she not arrested, she was outright released.

It was plain that in Wei Xi's heart, she was no different from those ordinary venerables, not deserving of special regard.

"Young Master, what should we do?"

The venerables all inquired; even though that person was strong, the Young Lord would not rebel, yet they could not just sit and wait for doom, could they?

"Does the Old Ancestor have any other arrangements?"

"Yeah! What about Old Gu and the others?"

Thinking of Old Man Gu and the others, the venerables felt there was still hope!

Di Furong was not so sure, after all her father had told her they must drag the Young Lord into the water!

For only the Young Lord could truly save them! But she simply couldn't do it!

"First, let's not gather here; immediately inform Old Gu and the others about the matter of the World Core."

Di Furong could only make this temporary arrangement, hoping those four would not let down her father's aid.

As for her father……

Di Furong gazed at the nearby Tai Li Ancestral Hall, clearly aware that with her strength she could not break in to rescue anyone.

But perhaps the imprisoned Brother Jin could save her father! He would, he definitely would.

Her father's devotion to Brother Jin was such that he would not let Wei Xi kill her father.

Di Furong looked steadfastly at the other clanspeople, "Let's go."

The venerables immediately dispersed!

No one mentioned the Old Ghost Emperor anymore.

They really were powerless!

Their hearts were filled with panic, their minds even muddled, unable to calmly sort out all the news they'd heard! For every piece of news left them unable to stay calm.

In contrast to them, the imprisoned Di Jin was very calm.

On the contrary, Wen Yuan's tone was rather complex, "If you have any orders, just summon me."

Di Jin ignored him, so Wen Yuan had no choice but to withdraw tactfully.

But he had just left when Shen Qingli, holding her child, appeared in the prison.

Yet Di Jin remained leaning against the prison wall, showing no reaction.

"Ah~"

Xiao Xiao Li thought Daddy hadn't noticed, and still young, shouted loudly to remind him!

Di Jin did lift his head, but he didn't look at Shen Qingli; he only looked at the little guy in her arms.

Ah?

Xiao Xiao Li turned his head to look at his mother, keenly sensing that the atmosphere was off.

Shen Qingli gently stroked his bald head, but her gaze was on Di Jin: "Are you angry with me? Then do you know why I had you imprisoned?"

"Of course." Di Jin calmly raised his eyes, his mind as clear as a mirror, but——
