Chapter 82

Shen Qingli jumped in fright!

Lowering her head, she saw that Jiu Li had eaten Xi Xi.

"Li Li, you can't eat it!"

Shen Qingli hurried to stop it, even reaching up to pry open Jiu Li's mouth.

If it were really eaten, Xi Xi would die wronged.

"Ah~"

Jiu Li opened its mouth; inside was a wet, trembling Xi Xi.

Shen Qingli wanted to fish it out, but Jiu Li immediately covered its mouth, not letting her.

"Li Li! Spit it out quickly!"

"No."

The mouth-covered Jiu Li said vaguely.

Seeing Shen Qingli truly angry!

It hurriedly explained, "I'm just holding it in my mouth, I'm not eating it."

"Xi—" the little chick screamed shrilly, protesting! It didn't want to be held in the mouth.

It's also its own fault for not being vigilant; just now it felt some greedy gaze fixed on it!

But it looked left and right, yet found no suspicious target!

It should have realized earlier—it's this cat!

Cats just love to eat chicken!

Wrong!

It's not a chicken!

"Xi!"

The little chick kept shrieking, flapping its wings desperately to crawl out of Jiu Li's mouth.

But Jiu Li really couldn't bear to let go—it smelled so good! It hadn't smelled such a fragrant chick in ages.

It's just holding it in its mouth; isn't it okay if it doesn't eat it?

Jiu Li felt wronged.

Shen Qingli was truly exasperated by it.

"You scared Xi Xi."

Shen Qingli could tell Jiu Li wasn't lying; it had no intention of eating Xi Xi.

But holding it like that isn't a solution! Plus, Xi Xi was so scared its voice went hoarse.

Jiu Li still refused to spit it out, saying, "I'll hold it for a day."

"Xi!" the little chick protested sharply.

"Spit it out!" Shen Qingli wouldn't indulge it anymore.

Jiu Li felt aggrieved, but still spat out the little chick.

The sticky, wet little chick was cradled in its hands, looking dearly cherished.

The little chick, frightened, leapt straight into Shen Qingli's embrace, whimpering.

"It's all right, nothing's wrong." Shen Qingli took a handkerchief to wipe it clean, truly disgusting.

But after these two little troublemakers caused a ruckus, she wasn't feeling so sad anymore, and she looked once more at that ball of light.

Shen Qingtong had been studying it for a while; seeing her look, he immediately smiled and said, "It's fine, San Ge is undergoing Nirvana."

"?" Shen Qingli's eyes full of doubt.

"Death Nirvana." Shen Qingtong explained what death Nirvana was.

Only then did Shen Qingli relax, asking, "How much longer until Nirvana succeeds?"

"It's hard to say; death Nirvana is originally a nine-deaths-one-life chance." Shen Qingtong said, seeing Shen Qingli worry again, he quickly added, "But didn't you give him the Fusang Divine Fruit?"

"So?" Shen Qingli only wanted to know the result.

"Then he's definitely fine!" Shen Qingtong said, even feeling envious.

With such a great opportunity, why did it fall to San Ge?

I estimate that after this Nirvana rebirth, San Ge could advance to Profound Emperor.

Shen Qingtong's tone turned sour, his eyes shining amazingly! One Nirvana, advancing two major ranks—how defiant of heaven!

That powerful?

How is it powerful? If it were me, I could directly advance to Profound Emperor.

Nine Brother, you're only a Profound King.

But this is the Fusang Divine Fruit!

Shen Qingtong also researched for half a day before realizing that this five-colored ball of light wasn't just any light ball—it was clearly the legendary Fusang Divine Fruit!

"Stay on guard!" Shen Qingtong wasn't worried about anything now, just afraid someone or a beast would come to snatch the fruit!

Fortunately, just as he finished speaking, Shen Qingshan and Shen Qingci arrived.

Afterward, Shen Lao Wu Shen Qinghe and the others also arrived one after another, each panting.

Is San Ge all right?

Is A Li here too?

Is the little sister all right?

After a lengthy explanation, the several bigwigs of the Shen family also indeed looked at "Shen Qingmo" with eyes full of envy.

No, you're wrong—San Ge almost died out!

He didn't die either.

Seek riches in danger.

Wrong!

Shen Qingli felt they couldn't think that way!

If it weren't for her being able to "see"!

Or if she were even a little late!

Her third brother would be gone!

We need to be steady!

As long as the green mountains remain, we won't lack firewood!

Shen Qingli hoped they would cherish themselves a little more.

"You don't understand; cultivation is like this—sometimes you just have to go all out, and only then will opportunity arise. The insights gained at life-and-death moments can't be matched at any other time." Shen Qingshan panted as he explained.

Shen Qinci's attention was elsewhere: "How could we let anyone survive?"

Apart from Bai Piaopiao, everyone from the three sects except Zhao Fengyun had already been slaughtered by Shen Qingli.

"This is suspicious—how did the disciples of the three sects join forces? Moreover, why can't we sense that Third Brother is in danger? Just now this area was clearly set up with taboos; we need to interrogate everyone." Shen Qingli got up and walked over to Bai Piaopiao; it was time to get to work.

"She definitely won't tell the truth." Shen Qinci and Shen Qingtong followed.

"Soul search?" Shen Qingli asked.

Bai Piaopiao's face turned ashen: "Don't, I'll speak—I'll definitely say everything."

"I don't believe what you say." Shen Qingli looked at the two brothers: "Can you?"

"They can't." Neither has learned it. Moreover, Bai Piaopiao is a Mysterious King; Fourth Brother can do it, but he can't perform a soul search on someone of the same rank.

"I'll do it." Pei Jianshu finally got a chance to speak.

"No! No! Senior Brother Pei, don't!" Bai Piaopiao could instantly burst into tears, pear blossoms with rain.

Seeing this, Shen Qingli almost thought she was Su Chacha possessed; besides, if Su Chacha weren't dead, she'd truly be a self-taught White Lotus Holy Maiden.

However, Shen Qingli still stopped Pei Jianshu from casting the spell: "I don't need you, and I don't trust you either."

Pei Jianshu's motion froze; he looked at Shen Qingli: "Do you think I'll harm you?"

"It doesn't matter." Shen Qingli decided to take Bai Piaopiao along, and let the elders act after they left the Ten Directions Forest.

Pei Jianshu saw through her thought: "Once we leave the Ten Directions Forest, you won't be able to perform a soul search on her; the Su Nv Sect won't allow it. Moreover, if the Shen clan elders act against the younger generation of the Su Nv Sect, the nature of the act changes."

Shen Qingli frowned.

"Me!"

Jiu Li poked its head out beside her leg.

Shen Qingli had always thought it wanted to sneak a bite of the chicks, but maybe not?

"I can!"

Jiu Li looked pleadingly and said: "Let me soul-search her; can I lick her a bit?"

"Chirp!"

A chick poked its head out from Shen Qingli's embrace and spat at Jiu Li.

Fortunately Jiu Li didn't go near the interface water, otherwise Shen Qingli really wouldn't be able to look at it straight.

"You can do the soul search, but licking is out of the question. Tell me why you want to lick the chicks, and I'll find you a substitute." Shen Qingli felt Jiu Li just wanted something higher-end to eat, and she could always find it.

Upon hearing that, Jiu Li was satisfied: "Good!"

"Little sister, I've long wanted to ask: what is this little cutie?"

Shen Qinci said while squatting down, wanting to touch Jiu Li's fluffy little head.

"Ow!"

Jiu Li bit his hand in one gulp!

Shen Qinci shouted, "Ow ow ow!"

"Don't provoke it—it's a ninth-rank!"

"What?"

Shen Qinci covered his hand, which wasn't broken but already swollen, his face full of disbelief.

"This little cutie is a ninth-rank!? No, the point is, how does a ninth-rank even listen to the little sister's words!"

"Ninth-rank?"

Shen Qingtong was also startled, squatting down to carefully examine Jiu Li.

"Yes, it's called Jiu Li, my newly made friend."

Shen Qingli introduced Jiu Li to her brothers, and also introduced Jiu Li to each of her brothers.

Jiu Li remembered, then turned and told Bai Piaopiao to "lie down."

Bai Piaopiao trembled violently.

Jiu Li ignored her, leapt onto her head in one bound, and pressed down with its claws.

In a flash of dark light, Bai Piaopiao let out a horrible scream; her face then twisted extremely, obviously in great pain, showing that Jiu Li's soul search was extremely brutal.

Moreover, it's super strong! No matter how much Bai Piaopiao suffers, she can't break free of its claws; she can only howl heart-wrenchingly, again and again.

But Shen Qingli's brothers had already taken precautions around them, setting up soundproof and protective arrays long ago.

Even if Bai Piaopiao screamed until her throat was raw, no one would come.

"A Li, they're targeting you."
