Chapter 544: Grand Finale 24: What He Brought Her Has Always Been Blissfully Sweet

"Wake up!"

"Di Jin slapped a palm into the brat's sea of consciousness!"

"What sweet dream are you thinking of! You're laughing like that."

"Ah ya~"

"Xiao Xiao Li's beautiful dream really got smashed!"

"He got so angry he almost woke up!"

"Hurry up and cultivate!"

"Di Jin urged."

"Xiao Xiao Li pursed his little lips, enduring in silence and continued."

"But really, the more he thought, the angrier he got! Bad dad! Bad dad! Bad dad!"

"Don't get distracted."

"……"

"Xiao Xiao Li was still puffed up with anger."

"Jiu Li several times stretched out its claws, wanting to poke his chubby little face that resembled a soft bun."

"But when Di Jin's gaze swept over, it timidly tucked its claws away, pretending to seriously watch Xiao Xiao Li cultivate."

"After watching for a while, it noticed the problem: 'No way! Why does Xiao Xiao Li's aura have a hint of A Li's breath?'"

"Di Jin had actually already noticed; even though the brat refocused on cultivation and stopped 'slacking off to sleep', this subtle aura didn't dissipate, and instead gradually gathered the divine breath of the wife-master older sister."

"This actually surprised Di Jin; he had already reached toward the radiant light, and again ordered the little one: 'Hurry up, in case your mother really comes, if you're not ready, I'll abandon you.'"

"'?' Jiu Li submitted! How could you threaten a little cub like that?"

"But Xiao Xiao Li was indeed angered! He all the more vigorously absorbed the surrounding source energy."

"Jiu Li, '???' Indeed the little cub is still too small, just like that he was goaded into action."

"Fortunately the little cub has a big heart; if it were more sensitive, his heart would be shattered……"

"Such a rough parenting style, Jiu Li scratched his head many times. But you can't blame him; he himself never had a good father."

"However, if Xiao Xiao Li doesn't speed up, Di Jin truly worries that his innate deficiency won't be fully cured."

"Moreover, this place is about to disappear, and even faster than he expected."

"In the midst of his thoughts, it doesn't hinder Di Jin from following the radiant light to sense that strand of aura uniquely belonging to his wife-master older sister."

"'Older sister?' Di Jin silently sent out his thoughts, uncertain if he'd get a reply."

"After a long while, indeed there was no reply, but this aura hadn't dissipated?"

"Di Jin pondered for a moment, not withdrawing his sense, thinking perhaps it needed time."

"After all, this place is completely different from the outside; just this moment, perhaps his voice hasn't yet reached his older sister."

"……"

"Over there, Shen Qingli at this moment indeed still hasn't heard Di Jin's voice."

"Even Xiao Xiao Li's voice, she couldn't hear again."

"But she, already sitting cross-legged, through retracing just now the brat's crying sound, vaguely 'established' a connection with Xiao Xiao Li."

"Thus Xiao Xiao Li suddenly 'dreamed of' her image."

"This isn't a coincidence!"

"But rather Shen Qingli is insisting!"

"But Xiao Xiao Li was 'woken up' by Di Jin."

"……"

"Frowning, Shen Qingli felt the sense of reality from before fade away again, and was shrouded by illusion and ethereality in all her perception."

"Xiao Xiao Li,"

"Shen Qingli focused and called out."

"But she was destined not to get a reply from the little one."

"This brat is diligently cultivating! Cultivating! Cultivating……"

"However, Shen Qingli didn't abandon her obsession and quest just because she could no longer sense reality."

"On the contrary, she sank even deeper into her heart to listen to the little one's cries—miserable, panicked, helpless."

"As a mother, Shen Qingli's heart clenched! Tears unconsciously slid from her tightly shut eyes."

"In the unseen——"

"The tears Xiao Xiao Li had shed while crying earlier gradually gathered, flowing toward his mother."

"Mother and child linked hearts; Shen Qingli's tears actually drew in Xiao Xiao Li's tears."

"!"

"Shen Qingli, sensing something, suddenly opened her eyes!"

"Drop by drop, little golden beans indeed gathered before her eyes."

"Xiao Xiao Li"

"Shen Qingli reached out with tears."

"A tear fell into her palm."

"Each drop let her clearly sense the little one's helplessness and panic at that time."

"Her heart cracked inch by inch……"

"Her Xiao Xiao Li, Xiao Xiao Li."

"Fortunately——"

When the last tear dropped, she felt joy, although more of it was grievance, but indeed there was joy, and also, peace of mind.

"Have you found A Jin?"

As Shen Qingli speculated, her mood eased a little.

A Jin came, and seeing his father, the little one felt relieved.

The resentment is because she feels Father came late, isn't that so?

"Little A Li."

Shen Qingli's heartache grew.

She came later than his father.

But the child had originally been with her, right beside her, yet she hadn't realized how scared the little one was.

Fortunately! At last there were some leads.

"Hum."

Shen Qingli focused all her thoughts.

She merged them into the tears gathered in her palm.

These tears have proven it to her! This place is truly not an illusion, and Little A Li and his grandfather are indeed here.

Now she should be able to trace these tears and sense where their owner's child is.

Thus, the little one's radiant light didn't fade; instead, more gathered—Shen Qingli's aura.

Gradually…

Neither side gave up!

Finally, a response arrived.

First, from Di Jin's side!

He finally clearly sensed Shen Qingli's aura.

He also heard her voice: "Little A Li."

She softly called, feeling heartache, lingering fear, and panic…

Hearing this, Di Jin's heart clenched! He knew that if the child came to harm, his older sister would surely be especially distressed.

"Have you found A Jin?" she asked hesitantly.

"Yes! It's me, older sister." Di Jin immediately replied.

Jiu Li instantly awakened, already able to speak? It hurriedly interjected, "A Li, A Li!"

But it got no reply, after all Shen Qingli had to wait a long, long time before hearing Di Jin's cry of "older sister."

Because it was thought-transmission, Shen Qingli perceived it more clearly: "A Jin! It really is A Jin! He and Little A Li are together."

That remark he left behind was indeed still true.

He was carrying the child.

He should also be resolving the child's problem.

"A Jin…"

Shen Qingli was delighted.

Also relieved and relaxed.

Once she truly confirmed that the child and her husband were together, she had almost nothing to fear.

After all, Di Jin had never let her down; he wouldn't let the child come to harm.

The only thing to worry about is whether he will show off.

By rights he wouldn't, after she's told him so many times.

But however the grandfather and grandson are doing, Shen Qingli still urgently wants to know!

"Where are you?"

Shen Qingli sent the thought to ask.

She really wanted to go to the grandfather and grandson's side right away.

From the moment she gained consciousness, this was the first time she so urgently wished for something to happen.

But Shen Qingli's question, Di Jin couldn't give a definite answer: "I don't know either, but we are surely in the same patch of 'land'; following your perception, perhaps we'll find each other soon. The child is fine, no need to worry, I'm not doing well."

These words are all true.

Di Jin's originally translucent body, opposite to Little A Li gradually solidifying, is fading!
