As a Father, I Just Want to Watch You Achieve Immortality Chapter 1574: Dao Fruit Fourfold Shedding, Demon Immortal Ninth Cycle—Little Niu Demon Xi Xi on Thin Ice
Previously on As a Father, I Just Want to Watch You Achieve Immortality...
With a heavy thud, the man slammed into the dirt, tumbling several times before coming to a halt.
Scrambling back to his feet, his face was a mask of desperation. "Give me one more, just one more Immortal Ascension Pill! I beg you!" he pleaded.
A woman with a graceful figure emerged from the Ascending Immortal Pavilion, her hips swaying as she stepped outside.
"You already owe the Ascending Immortal Pavilion a hundred Seven Yuan Divinity Crystals," she said coldly. "If the debt isn't settled within three days, our doors will be closed to you forever, and you'll be forced to use your daughter as collateral."
The woman possessed a beauty mark near her lips and an exceptionally slender waist, yet her tone remained icy and heartless.
The man, though dressed in luxurious attire, flared with rage. "You want my daughter?! Don’t even think about it! You’ll never get her!"
"I would rather die than hand my daughter over to you!"
"Ah—!!!"
With a furious roar, the man stormed away from the scene.
Watching this unfold, Xi Xi and her companions felt a stir of respect for the man’s resolve.
However, the elegant woman standing before the Ascending Immortal Pavilion merely scoffed in mockery. As she turned to head back inside, she spotted Xi Xi and the other four children observing her with curiosity.
Despite the height of Yun E and Jin Taixui, the woman’s sharp eyes immediately recognized that these four were nothing more than naive youths.
A radiant, welcoming smile instantly replaced her cold expression.
"Little girls, you must be from outside Guangling Dao City?"
"Would you like to sample the top specialty of Guangling Dao City, the Immortal Ascension Pill? With just a single pill, you will experience a sensation for Cultivation unlike any other."
The woman’s face beamed with warmth.
Yun E quickly moved, grabbing Xi Xi and pulling her safely behind her back.
Jin Taixui and Zhou Peng stepped forward simultaneously, forming a barrier against the woman.
"It’s not needed," Zhou Peng replied calmly, removing a bun from his mouth and dusting off his hands.
The woman’s smile remained unwavering. "There is no need for concern. Our Ascending Immortal Pavilion is the premier establishment in Guangling Dao City for experiencing the Immortal Ascension Pill. We are backed by the Heavenly Pill Divine Sect, so the authenticity of our pills is absolutely guaranteed."
"These Immortal Ascension Pills are crafted by the Grandmaster of the Heavenly Pill Divine Sect himself... They are undoubtedly Divine Pills! Once you consume this elixir, you will ascend to the Immortal Realm and converse freely with the Immortals!"
"Go on, give it a try. Once you do, you will fall completely in love with the Immortal Ascension Pill."
There was a subtle, tempting power woven into the woman’s voice.
But...
Xi Xi’s brow furrowed suddenly. She let out an angry shout as a surge of divinity erupted from her.
The woman’s divine tempting power was instantly shattered and dispersed.
Shock filled the woman’s heart, and she stared at Xi Xi with utter disbelief and terror.
How could a child who appeared to be only six or seven years old break her Divine Secret Technique?
What kind of monstrous Divine Child was this!
To shatter her technique so easily, the girl had to be a Cultivator in the Divine Phase Realm!
The woman opened her mouth to speak again, but Xi Xi and the others were already walking away.
Watching the four figures retreat, the woman’s expression turned grim. She quickly signaled her subordinates, ordering them to investigate the backgrounds and identities of Xi Xi and her friends.
After escaping the woman’s presence, the group didn't travel far before entering a nearby restaurant.
They ordered a massive feast. Zhou Peng, being a member of a wealthy thousand-year-old family, paid for everything generously.
Naturally, the majority of the food ended up being devoured by Zhou Peng.
"Ah, Guangling Dao City is truly famous for its alchemy. Even the skill of the cooks here exceeds those in other cities. Eh? What are you all staring at?"
Zhou Peng patted his protruding stomach, realizing his friends weren't watching his impressive eating display. Instead, they were all staring out the window.
The mood in the room had turned somber.
Zhou Peng quickly hopped off his chair and crowded in with the others.
"Old Jin, make some room for me," Zhou Peng muttered, squeezing his way to the window ledge.
Xi Xi and Yun E were already looking down at the street below.
They saw the entrance of the Ascending Immortal Pavilion once more...
The same man who had earlier sworn he would never bring his daughter there was back. His expensive clothes were disheveled, and his face was twisted with a manic rage. Mucus and tears streamed down his face as he dragged his daughter along like a madman.
The young girl was paralyzed with fear, her body twisting as she tried to resist.
However, she was powerless to escape the grip of a man with Divine Image Cultivation. Her gaunt, terrified face was a picture of despair; she clearly understood the dark fate waiting for her inside the pavilion.
Despite her struggles, several people emerged from the building. These were Cultivators at the Master of Divine Gang level, and their combined aura quickly subdued the girl, dragging her into the depths of the pavilion.
"Little Lian... Father has wronged you!"
"Hahaha, the elixir is here... my precious elixir! I’m going to ascend! I’m going to become an immortal!"
The graceful woman with the beauty mark produced a wooden box containing three pills and handed them to the man.
Her face was filled with hidden disgust and contempt.
Yet, she maintained her bright smile. "The Immortal Realm welcomes you."
"Ahh haha..."
The man smeared the snot and tears across his face, attempting to control his trembling body but failing miserably.
He departed in a state of manic joy, a haunting contrast to his previous defiance.
Back inside the restaurant.
Xi Xi’s face was flushed with anger, her small hands trembling. Yun E let out a soft, heavy sigh.
Jin Taixui and Zhou Peng remained quiet.
They realized that this man was not an isolated case. At the gates of the Ascending Immortal Pavilion, such tragedies were a common occurrence.
"This... How can Guangling Dao City be like this?!"
Xi Xi slammed her fist onto the table, her voice filled with fury.
Yun E’s veil stirred in the breeze as she gently stroked the small rabbit in her arms. "This is simply the way of the world... Xi Xi, the reason Uncle Li took you away from Fei Lei City was because it had become too dark. The entire city was sacrificed..."
