As a father, I just want to quietly watch you live a long life Chapter 1740 - 454: Eight Qimen Immortal Seeds Achieve Body Sanctification, the Underworld Welcomes a Newcomer: The Monster Diting [Monthly Ticket Requested]...
Previously on As a father, I just want to quietly watch you live a long life...
From beyond the portal, a tall, slim black silhouette stepped out leisurely.
Its four paws softly touched the earth in a graceful, crossed stride, as a glossy black canine advanced with a refined feline elegance typically seen in cats, radiating an bold and captivating aura.
Inside its jet-black eyes, akin to deep jujubes, a vivid gleam sparkled—a cheeky glint, like friends meeting again after years apart.
As though declaring, Little Li, it's been too long!
Under the Netherworld Ox Demon mask, Li Che's gaze sparkled right away, the heavy solemnity on his features dissolving completely.
At first, Li Che believed the massive black bull from the City Lord’s Mansion had foreseen his scheme to gather the Twelve Demon Gods and intended to strike ahead!
To his surprise, it turned out to be the long-absent Lord Dog!
Earlier, during the journey from the Divine Capital back to Qianyuan Taoist City, the boss and Lord Dog had accompanied him. The boss mentioned starting a restaurant in Qi Tian City, and now Li Che was here.
Yet, upon arriving in Qi Tian City, he had scanned with the Heaven and Earth chessboard for some time but spotted neither the boss nor Lord Dog.
A bit let down, he never imagined Lord Dog would show up here in person.
Once Lord Dog stepped into the yard, the portal sealed shut right behind.
Li Che removed the Bull Demon mask, displaying a wide grin, advanced a couple of paces toward Lord Dog, and opened his arms like he meant to embrace it.
However, Lord Dog shot a contemptuous glance.
What’s this hugging nonsense?
Do you fancy yourself as Xi Xi?
"Where’s the boss? He mentioned opening a restaurant in Qi Tian City. Where's it located?"
Li Che inquired with curiosity.
Lord Dog surely comprehended his speech, though its desire to respond was uncertain.
Regarding Lord Dog's ability to talk... Li Che doubted that an entity capable of smashing a Temple God flat couldn't communicate.
Lord Dog roamed the yard briefly and promptly curled its muzzle in disapproval.
It glanced at Li Che and rolled its eyes once more, seemingly asking, Where’s Xi Xi?
Why stare at you—Lord Dog yearns for Xi Xi!
Li Che's extended arms hummed with power, his Martial Immortal Golden Body boomed fiercely, and potent Qi-Blood surged outward like vapor.
Lord Dog rolled its eyes again, as if retorting, You've gained a minor upgrade and now you're flaunting it, but my actual form would terrify you!
After a brief reflection, Li Che curled his five fingers to summon Xi Xi, who was practicing alongside Jin Taixui, Yun E, and the rest in the yard, pulling her from Mo City Fengdu.
Xi Xi materialized in a stupor, her cute large eyes whirling like a tiny confused orb.
"Daddy?"
Xi Xi gazed at Li Che in puzzlement, uncertain why she wasn't still training in the yard.
"Woof—!"
A thrilled bark from Lord Dog snapped Xi Xi out of her daze!
"Wow—Gou!"
Spotting Lord Dog, Xi Xi and Lord Dog's date-like eyes burst with delight.
They rushed toward one another, crashing in a joyful tangle.
Xi Xi twirled while clutching Lord Dog, her little feet pounding the ground in ecstatic high kicks.
Li Che observed from the side, filled with joy, his spirits lifting high.
Why the elation?
Simply because the boss and Lord Dog had at last shown up; this greatly secured Xi Xi’s protection in Qi Tian City.
Not even the Black Bull Demon God Venerable posed a real threat to Xi Xi's well-being.
Though the exact reason escaped him, the boss and Lord Dog instilled this assurance in Li Che.
At minimum, Xi Xi’s security was firmly guaranteed...
Li Che even pondered simply placing Xi Xi at the boss’s restaurant in Qi Tian City; it ought to be extremely secure.
As these thoughts crossed his mind, Xi Xi’s exchange with Lord Dog wrapped up.
It consisted mainly of Xi Xi posing questions, with Lord Dog joyfully swishing its tail and answering via barks, somehow syncing perfectly even without human words.
Li Che viewed it with fascination, figuring his girl must grasp dog speech!
The portal parted, and Lord Dog cheerfully pranced ahead on its paws.
"Daddy, come on, let's go! Gou says he'll lead us to the boss’s restaurant! We can grab some tasty treats!"
Xi Xi bubbled with excitement, saliva dribbling freely from her mouth.
She hadn't savored the boss’s dishes for ages, and she truly longed for them!
Witnessing this, Li Che refrained from halting her and trailed Lord Dog from the yard, with Xi Xi tagging along.
The Heaven and Earth chessboard shielded them, blocking any sensing.
After all, navigating Qi Tian City demanded Li Che's vigilance.
Fortunately, the Night Bat Demon God now served as his reliable ally and wouldn't disclose their position, not even if given three sticks of incense to alert others.
Nevertheless, Qi Tian City sprawled enormously, and a random run-in with the Black Bull Demon God Venerable might spark needless issues.
As they proceeded, Li Che quickly saw his worries were needless.
In the lane behind his yard, roughly a hundred steps further in, Li Che at last spotted the restaurant he'd missed for so long.
Beneath soft amber lanterns, it glowed warmly, resembling the tint of a fading sun.
Before the restaurant, a figure in white lounged in a swaying chair, legs folded, a smoke stick between his lips, azure vapors curling upward and fading into the sky.
