Shen Yunting fell silent, his fists clenched tightly, a mix of emotions swirling within him. He knew that Third Sister had a point, but he simply couldn't bear to watch his sister venture into danger.
Shen Zhentian observed the scene before him, feeling a surge of emotions. His daughter had always been clever and spirited, yet also somewhat spoiled and willful. However, ever since she had given birth, it was as if she had transformed into a different person—strong, brave, and capable of standing on her own.
He sighed, realizing he could no longer hesitate. "Yun Ting, stop arguing! We will do as Shen Wanzhou suggested!" With that declaration, he looked at Shen Wanzhou with determination in his eyes. "Wanzhou, you can go boldly; your father and brothers will support you! If that beast Chen Yuantu dares to harm you in any way, I will make him pay for it with my life!"
Shen Wanzhou felt a lump in her throat as her eyes turned slightly red. She understood that she was not fighting alone; behind her stood the entire Shen Family. "Father, Eldest Brother, Second Brother, Sister-in-law, don’t worry. I will protect myself and the children!"
The Shen Family spent the day preparing for Shen Wanzhou's plan. The first step was disguise. Although Shen Wanzhou was already a beauty, for safety's sake, she decided to undergo a complete transformation.
Yeh Jing-Shu was an expert in disguise and worked her magic swiftly, transforming Shen Wanzhou into someone unrecognizable. When Shen Wanzhou looked in the mirror, she was taken aback by her reflection. Her fair skin had turned dark and rough, her delicate features became plain and ordinary, and dressed in coarse linen garments, she resembled a peasant woman.
After taking one last look at herself in the mirror and ensuring there were no flaws in her disguise, she turned to Yeh Jing-Shu and said, "Sister-in-law, your skills are incredible; I hardly recognize myself."
Yeh Jing-Shu covered her mouth with a light laugh, though concern lingered in her eyes. "Third Sister, you must be extremely careful on this journey; do not act recklessly."
Shen Wanzhou nodded and slung the prepared bundle over her shoulder as she turned to leave. Just then, Chen Li, who had been quietly lying on Shen Wanzhou's bed, suddenly let out a soft whimper.
"Mother, Mother, take me with you to see the world!"
Chen Li's voice was sweet and clear despite being just a few days old, resonating in Shen Wanzhou's mind as if through telepathy.
Shen Wanzhou paused in disbelief as she looked at Chen Li. It was impossible; Chen Li was merely an infant—how could she possibly speak?
Lying beside Chen Li, Shen Qingyue was munching on her small hands when she heard Chen Li's voice and a hint of disdain flashed in her eyes.
"Hah, you think you can go? Do you really believe you're a big kid now? How could Mother possibly care about you?"
Shen Qingyue's tone was old beyond her years, contrasting sharply with her youthful appearance.
Chen Li chuckled, his thoughts filled with a teasing challenge. "Sister, you don't know this yet, do you? Today, I'll show you how Mother takes me to see the world."
Shen Qingyue rolled her eyes and said in a babyish voice, "I am the Celestial Empress. Now that I have been reincarnated, I need to slowly regain my powers. You, a newborn just a few days old, can't possibly be stronger than This Emperor!"
Chen Li chose not to respond to Shen Qingyue. After all, he was just an infant. Although the Chaos Divine Grinding Visualization was powerful, he was still a fragile newborn with insufficient vitality.
Every word he saved meant more strength preserved. As for his proud little sister, he only needed to prove himself through action.
Seeing that Shen Wanzhou had not responded for a while, Chen Li urged again through thought. "Mother, Mother, please say something!"
Shen Wanzhou came back to herself and looked at Chen Li's expectant gaze; a surge of emotion suddenly welled up within her.
It really is Li!
Excited, Shen Wanzhou immediately bent down and picked Chen Li up, softly saying, "Li, Mother will take you along."
"What?!"
Yeh Jing-Shu and Bai Qianyin exclaimed in unison.
"Third Sister, have you lost your mind? How can you take a child to that kind of place?"
Bai Qianyin's face turned pale as she rushed forward to stop her.
Yeh Jing-Shu also looked worried and echoed, "Yes, Shen Wanzhou, it's already dangerous for you to go alone; how can you bring a child with you?"
Shen Wanzhou shook her head, her gaze firm as she replied, "Sister-in-law, Second Sister, don't worry; I know what I'm doing."
She couldn't reveal too much about the child's ability to communicate with her. After all, her son's unusual behavior was incredibly extraordinary. If even the slightest hint of it leaked out, it would endanger the entire Shen Family.
So even with those closest to her, she could only keep this secret for now.
After saying that, she embraced Chen Li and resolutely walked out of the room. Shen Yunting and Yeh Jing-Shu could only sigh helplessly at the sight. They knew that once Shen Wanzhou made a decision, no one could change it.
At the moment the mother and son left, Shen Qingyue, still in her swaddling clothes and chewing on her little hands, exclaimed, "Mother! What about me?" Unfortunately, she lacked the Chaos Divine Grinding Visualization, and her current Divine Soul Power was unable to communicate with Shen Wanzhou.
The Dragon Tiger Auction House was located on the busiest street in the city, a grand building bustling with activity. As Shen Wanzhou entered the auction house with Chen Li, she immediately felt a wave of heat wash over her. Inside the auction house, voices were lively, with bids rising and falling in a cacophony of excitement.
Shen Wanzhou found a corner to sit down, her gaze sweeping around as she observed the surroundings. "Mother, it's so lively here!" Chen Li exclaimed as she leaned against Shen Wanzhou's embrace, curiously taking in the sights.
"Yes, it is quite lively," Shen Wanzhou replied absentmindedly, though her eyes remained fixed on the auction stage. Her purpose for coming here was to sell the Consolidation Pill to raise funds and rescue the Shen Family from their current predicament.
"Mother, look! What is that old man doing?" Chen Li suddenly pointed at an elderly gentleman on the auction stage and asked curiously.
Following Chen Li's gaze, Shen Wanzhou saw an elderly man with gray hair standing at the auction podium, holding a crystal-clear Jade Box and speaking animatedly.
"Esteemed guests, I believe you can already sense the fragrance of this pill!" The old man's voice boomed loudly enough to reach everyone's ears even amidst the clamor of the auction house.
To capture everyone's attention, he deliberately elongated his tone until all eyes were on him before announcing loudly: "This is a third-grade pill known as the Heavenly Creation Pill! As long as there is still breath in you, taking this pill can bring you back from death and restore you to your peak condition!"
"The Heavenly Creation Pill?!" Shen Wanzhou gasped in shock, springing to her feet as her eyes locked onto the pill in the old man's hand. The Heavenly Creation Pill was a legendary elixir that could revive someone as long as they still had breath left; it was worth its weight in gold!
"Mother, that pill would be perfect for Grandfather's injuries!"
