As a father, I just want to quietly watch you live a long life Chapter 1575: 417: Dao Fruit's Fourfold Shedding and Demon Immortal's Ninth Cycle, Xi Xi the Little Niu Demon Walks on Thin Ice
Previously on As a father, I just want to quietly watch you live a long life...
Xi Xi’s small chest rose and fell rapidly, heaving with indignation.
Recalling the girl’s face full of hopelessness and contrasting it with that man’s repulsive expression, Xi Xi felt that her father was truly the greatest person in the entire world!
“I’m going to slip inside for a look. What exactly is the Ascension Tower doing with all those young girls?”
Xi Xi declared.
“Absolutely not!” Yun E’s brow furrowed as she immediately moved to block her, refusing the idea.
Xi Xi confidently puffed out her little stomach: “We came out to train and travel the martial world; aren’t we supposed to intervene when we witness injustice? My Daddy told me many tales, and all the heroes step up when they see something wrong… though, only when it's safe to do so, of course.”
“Daddy also noted that charging blindly into peril just because of an injustice is foolish, but it is right to do what is within one's power.”
Hearing Xi Xi quote Li Che, Yun E wavered, her resolve beginning to falter.
Sensing the opening, Xi Xi pounced on the opportunity, leaning into Yun E and clutching her arm, giving it a gentle shake.
“Sister Yun E, please don't worry. Emperor Xi Xi has mastered the True Successor techniques of many masters from the Underworld. I am invincible!”
Xi Xi tilted her little head up proudly.
She triggered the Slumbering Dragon Elephant from the Dragon Elephant Vajra, and in an instant, her entire presence seemed to vanish from the world.
Witnessing this, Yun E could not hide her astonishment.
“Hehe, this is the Concealing Breath Technique that Bull Demon Master taught me. Isn't it amazing!”
Xi Xi boasted.
Yun E fell silent because the skill was indeed profound; despite Xi Xi standing right before her, the girl seemed to have evaporated from the mortal realm.
“We have to assist you,” Jin Taixui stated in a heavy tone.
He couldn't possibly allow Xi Xi to venture off on her own.
However, Xi Xi looked at them with disdain: “You guys haven't even mastered the Concealing Breath Technique. Besides, I have the Thunder Chess Piece Daddy gave me. If I truly encounter a crisis, I can escape instantly using Flying Thunder!”
“But, I actually do need you all to help me out with something.”
Xi Xi added.
Then, with a look of excitement, she pulled open her Qiankun Jade.
Spreading her five fingers wide, she retrieved one Spirit Wood Mask after another from the Qiankun Jade. These masks were also enchanted to hide one's presence, though they were far less effective than her Slumbering Dragon Elephant.
“Look, I’ve prepared these for you! Let’s call our group… Little Hell!”
Xi Xi chirped excitedly.
She passed a Jade Rabbit mask to Yun E and a fierce Snow Wolf mask to Jin Taixui.
To a stunned Zhou Peng, she handed a pig-headed mask with massive ears.
Finally, she selected a pink little calf mask for herself.
She pulled the mask over her face, twisting it slightly to get the fit just right.
Yun E, Jin Taixui, and Zhou Peng stared at the masks in their hands. They couldn't help but feel a spark of anticipation at the mention of "Little Hell."
The might and enigma surrounding the Underworld were the stuff of dreams for youngsters like them.
“Xi Xi will carefully remember Daddy’s words: walk as if on thin ice!”
“Little Bull Demon Heroine Xi Xi, moving out!”
“Hee ha!”
Xi Xi squeezed her tiny fist, speaking in a hilariously dramatic voice. In the next breath, she yanked a Black Robe from her Qiankun Jade, threw it over her shoulders, hoisted her Immortal Artisan Gatling, and vaulted through the window.
By the time Yun E and the others rushed to the window, Xi Xi’s form had already disappeared.
The three of them looked at each other.
Though they felt a bit helpless, they ultimately chose to fix the masks onto their faces.
Jade Rabbit, Snow Wolf, and Pig Head.
Qian Yuan Divine Sect.
Outer Disciple City, Elder Court.
The Study.
Heavy snow fell outside the window, while inside the study, a charcoal brazier heated water until steam filled the air.
Li Che, currently in Cultivation seclusion, slowly opened his eyes.
A trace of helplessness flickered in his gaze.
“Still the Little Bull Demon…”
When Xi Xi produced that little calf mask, even Li Che was caught off guard. When had the girl learned the art of carving?
That little girl must have been planning this for a long time, just waiting for the right moment, hadn't she?
Little Bull Demon Xi Xi?
Li Che chuckled and shook his head.
“Ascending Immortal Pavilion…” The smile on Li Che’s face gradually vanished, replaced by a sharp, cold glint in his eyes.
“Go on then, little girl.”
“No matter what mess you stir up…”
“Your Daddy will always be there to back you up.”
