Chapter 550: Final Afterword: Three Blessings Arrive

If one were the primordial god, unable to protect even one's most beloved kin and friends, how could one have the ability to safeguard all creation?

At this moment, today, Shen Qingli's heart was exceptionally clear: "I once heard a saying in the mundane world."

"What?" Di Jin asked softly, his fingertip involuntarily resting beneath her eyes.

"Cultivate oneself, regulate the family, govern the state, bring peace to the world." Shen Qingli grasped his hand, her fingertips penetrating his palm.

Di Jin loved her this relaxed, intimate demeanor immensely.

This is clearly the wife who holds his hand and loves him.

Not an older sister.

Nor a master.

Nor a disciple.

"If I cannot love myself, protect my family, how can I bear great responsibility and bring peace to the world?"

As Shen Qingli continued speaking softly, Di Jin already pressed a kiss to her forehead, tender and lingering, cherishing and loving her.

Shen Qingli's eyelashes fluttered, her heart feeling as if kneaded into warm spring water, warm and comforting……

"I'm talking to you." Shen Qingli murmured softly.

"I'm listening." Di Jin held her in the crook of his neck.

He also truly responded in kind, saying, "No matter what your Dao is, my Dao has always been you."

He never interfered with her choices; as long as it was what she wished, he would spare no effort to fulfill it.

Death, too, is fine.

Life, too, is acceptable.

As long as it is her wish.

He would do so without hesitation.

"I know."

Shen Qingli embraced his warm shoulders and neck.

She also rested her head on his broad, dependable shoulder.

"So no matter how you choose, you will not lose."

Di Jin also said, "This time, from now on, always."

"No, not that." Shen Qingli laughed lightly, "This time I'll settle it thoroughly; I don't want to go through it again, it's exhausting."

"I can take over instead. Whenever you're dissatisfied with the world, we can overturn and start anew at any time. If this method fails, there will always be another way, as long as you're happy." Di Jin said sincerely.

He hopes that, now, at this moment, his Li'er can forever maintain this ease and joy. To that end, he is willing to do anything.

"No." Shen Qingli refused, saying, "I'm not a fickle person; as long as you, Xiao Xiao Li, and everyone are safe and sound, I will always be content."

"There are a few too many people." Di Jin felt slightly dissatisfied.

"But you are the most important." Shen Qingli said again.

Di Jin: "……When did you learn to sweet-talk?"

"No way. This is the truth; can't you sense it?"

Shen Qingli tilted her head to look at him; her clear eyes were full of sincerity.

Di Jin was instantly appeased; even if she hadn't coaxed him, he would have been fine anyway.

She had coaxed him, and with such genuine sincerity, he naturally felt better right away.

"A Jin."

"I don't want to hear that title."

"Husband."

"……"

Di Jin smiled silently.

Li'er has truly changed.

"Wife."

"……Mm."

Although Shen Qingli was still a bit unaccustomed, she also agreed.

"Li'er."

"Mm."

Shen Qingli buried her head back into the crook of his neck, her face slightly flushed.

Di Jin could feel that he had gently grasped the back of her head and kissed her temples.

"What's there to be shy about?"

"It's just calling you Li'er."

"It's not like I haven't called you that before."

Shen Qingli clung to him; yes, she had called him that before, but she now possesses all the memories of the Micro Hope!

How to put it? It feels like an older sister pretending to be young……

Getting back to the point, "When you previously regained your Dao Lord memories, how could you still have the nerve to call me sister?"

Back then, he surely also had the feeling of an old man who refuses to stop pretending to be young!

"Could it be that you already had Primordial memories back then?"

"Definitely not. I don't call you that; can you soften your heart?"

"……" Shen Qingli was speechless, just then! Really.

"You're a bit scheming, using it all on me!"

"What else? Besides marrying you needing me to use my brains, what else could possibly match?"

"" Shen Qingli had no words again; this mouth truly could speak, each time making her heart feel sweet."

"No wonder he once dared to boast, saying that just thinking of him would make her feel only sweet, with no sourness or sorrow."

"\"Thank you. \" Shen Qingli whispered hoarsely."

"Di Jin, however, let out a light snort: \"Give me something substantive as thanks, no empty promises—I want to get it tonight. \""

"Shen Qingli, who could already grasp things instantly, blushed and said, \"I'm talking seriously here! \""

"\"Me too. \""

"\"Shut up! \""

"Shen Qingli punched him!"

"Di Jin chuckled lightly: \"In a bit I'll get the kid drunk, just wait. \""

"\"You dare! Xiao Xiao Li's body hasn't fully recovered—no drinking allowed! \""

"Di Jin felt helpless; after all, he wasn't that toxic father of his, still retaining some fatherly nature, so he ultimately didn't use that trick on the little child."

"But that doesn't mean he has no other methods."

"Having indulged this child for so long, it's time to show some real fatherly skills."

"Thus, after the hangover from the big feast, the also-weary Xiao Xiao Li woke up from a sleep to find himself under the bed?"

"\"Huh? \" The dazed Xiao Xiao Li sat up, crawled out from under the bed, lifted his head, and saw his father's back turned to him."

"He quickly flew up, seeing his mother held in his father's arms! They were both sleeping so soundly~"

"\"Oh dear! \""

"The hurried Xiao Xiao Li forced his way in, insisting on squeezing himself into a little filling between his father and mother."

"But before he could get halfway there, his father picked him up."

"\"What are you doing? \""

"\"Ah! \""

"Xiao Xiao Li let out a tender cry!"

"Don't think he doesn't understand just because he's small!"

"He was originally sleeping here!"

"How did he wake up under the bed? It must be the dirty tricks of a bad father."

"\"Hmm? \""

"Hearing the sound, Shen Qingli opened her eyes and saw the father and son staring at each other, big eyes meeting small eyes."

"Noticing she had woken, the little tyke immediately pointed at his father and babbled \"ee-ee ya-ya\" at her nonstop."

"\"You're bullying the little one again? \" Shen Qingli asked, half-asleep."

"Di Jin kissed her eye, saying, \"If you're still sleepy, keep sleeping; this kid is all grown up, just full of energy—let him babble a bit and he'll be fine. \""

"\"Ah! \" Xiao Xiao Li wanted to defend himself."

"Di Jin had already taken the moral high ground, saying, \"You woke your mother early this morning, you don't understand things. \""

"\"Yah... \" Xiao Xiao Li wilted, already tucking his hands in, gazing cutely at his mother, a picture of good behavior."

"Shen Qingli felt an itch in her heart, and she casually scooped him into her arms for a kiss, saying, \"It's fine, Mom also slept well. \""

"Seeing that she had indeed recovered, Di Jin didn't continue to argue with the child; he had already taken both mother and child in his arms, dressing them one by one."

"When they had finished tidying up and stepped out of the room, they saw everyone beaming with joy?"

"Shen Qinghuang and Liu Meng had become a couple; their happiness was quite normal."

"But Di Hao, how could he be so happy?"

"Di Jin raised an eyebrow and asked, \"Recovered? \""

"He didn't use a title, but upon hearing the question, Di Hao nodded."

"\"Congratulations. \" Di Jin finally gave his father a kind word."

"Di Hao, however, laughed and said, \"Better to congratulate your parents-in-law. \""

"\"? \" Shen Qingli froze, \"Dad? Mom? \""

"Shen Kuo's face flushed red, \"You might be getting a little brother. \""

"\"A sister! \" Shen Qinci insisted! No brother, I wish for a sister—just like a little sister."

"Zhong Minglan disagreed, \"No, a brother—Xiao Piaoliang is one of a kind. \""

"She no longer wanted a daughter; she hoped to give birth to a son, a brother connected by blood to Xiao Piaoliang."

"Ideally, he'd be stronger than her and even stronger than Shen Kuo, better able to help, even to protect Xiao Piaoliang's brother."

"\"Alright. \" Shen Qinci also agreed, after all, it's not up to him—he has no choice."

"However, \"I, \""

"\"My father-in-law is this vigorous in old age? \""

"Di Jin's teasing tone voiced what Shen Qinci wanted to say but got cut off!"

"It also voiced what everyone present was thinking, causing everyone to burst into laughter!"

"\"You brat, I may be old, but are you older? \" Shen Kuo truly conceded, \"You old cow chewing tender grass, a vexing thing! I treated you as a brother, you let me support you without saying a word, yet you stole my daughter! \" This debt needs to be settled!"

"Shen Kuo then grabbed a broom and beat his son-in-law! It made Xiao Xiao Li giggle with \"ka-ka\" laughter."

"The Heaven Star Sect, once a place brimming with laughter and cheer, has become even more lighthearted and delightful."
