Previously on As a Father, I Just Want to Watch You Achieve Immortality...
Soft amber lights bathed the scene, casting speckled shadows across the ground.
These stretched shadows appeared to merge the real with the illusory.
Before the restaurant.
Clad in simple cloth robes, Old Monkey strolled leisurely with hands folded behind his back, drawing scant notice, much like an elder ambling through the lane while relishing the restaurant's vibrant energy.
Yet inside the restaurant.
Countless stares directed themselves at Old Monkey.
The boss, robed in pristine snow-white attire, ever full of vigor, regarded Old Monkey with a flicker of intricate emotions in his gaze.
"Divine Monarch, long time no see, huh."
Old Monkey flashed a grin, baring the fangs within his mouth. Even in his divine status, he retained the feral shape of a Divine Monkey, those razor-sharp teeth unchanging.
"Great Saint, long time no see."The boss, clad in immaculate snow-white robes, tapped the cigarette ash from his fingertips, letting it drift through the air.
A faint smile played on his lips as he stood up from his seat.
They resembled longtime companions, their gazes bridging across eras and distances, linking shared instants.
The night breeze tugged at Old Monkey’s cloth robes as he stepped into the restaurant.
"You’ve made Old Sun hunt high and low; right here in Qi Tian City, and I had no clue. You always relish playing the enigma."
"Running a restaurant, eh? Why not open up for trade? Hiding away like this, hardly anyone knows of the place, much less drops by as patrons."
Old Monkey muttered, his chatter suddenly flowing freely.
Xi Xi perched on her chair, dangling her shiny toes, her long lashes fluttering gently, cheeks puffed out cutely.
"Monkey... Mr. Monkey!"
Xi Xi buzzed with thrill, clearly spotting the familiar old being.
It was that god awakened from the Mysterious Temple, manifested in the boss’s cigarette smoke vision!
This was the Great Sage Equalling Heaven!
Her father had shared tales of the Great Sage Equalling Heaven with Xi Xi; Mr. Monkey, you’re truly legendary!
Excitement sparkled in Xi Xi’s eyes as her chewing quickened.
Old Monkey caught Xi Xi’s look too, a tangled expression crossing his features.
With just one look, Old Monkey discerned that this young girl was none other than the Daughter of Prison Lotus...
But unlike the former icy, mute killer driven by slaughter, the current Daughter of Prison Lotus... wasn’t she totally derailed?!
In this surging Divine Tide era, Prison Lotus’s leader...
Was truly this little one?!
Wouldn’t Prison Lotus get crushed by the All Gods Camp?
Old Monkey ruffled his monkey fur, momentarily at a loss. Could this child really be trusted?
Xi Xi dashed over to Old Monkey, tilting her head up at the slender form, eyes shining, swallowing a tea egg with a gulp.
"Mr. Monkey!"
Xi Xi beamed with joy.
"Father shared stories of Mr. Monkey with Xi Xi!"
Old Monkey eyed Xi Xi briefly, then lifted his gaze to the snow-robed boss, his eyes brimming with questions.
The boss snuffed out his cigarette, lips curving slightly, staying silent in his poised manner.
As if conveying that this Divine Tide’s Daughter of Prison Lotus was just so—pure-hearted and frolicsome, utterly charming.
Perhaps overly shielded, she remained oblivious to the world’s harshness, holding onto that special childish purity and spark.
This...
Didn’t seem like the Daughter of Prison Lotus at all.
Still, Old Monkey narrowed his eyes, unexpectedly feeling rather content.
Maybe a Daughter of Prison Lotus like this wasn’t half bad?
Old Monkey extended a hand to pat Xi Xi’s head, a hint of warmth softening his face.
Beneath that warmth lingered hints of bewilderment and intrigue.
What caused the Daughter of Prison Lotus to transform so drastically?
What shifted it all?
The once Heavenly Slaughter Star, Daughter of Prison Lotus, now had a living father offering staunch protection, skipping fate’s brutal forge, yet avoiding descent into shadow...
It felt like some unseen force was quietly reshaping destiny.
Turning the once straightforward road misty, veiling the path ahead.
What had truly changed?
Suddenly, a realization struck Old Monkey, his golden eyes flickering.
Was it the father of the Daughter of Prison Lotus?
Did that living Father of Prison Lotus alter the fated course?!
"Great Saint, care for something to eat?"
The boss broke in abruptly, snapping Old Monkey from his thoughts.
Old Monkey halted, then smiled, guiding Xi Xi deeper into the restaurant.

Ding ding...
The restaurant door swung wide, wind chimes tinkling with a clear ring.
"Order... some fried rice with egg, please."
...
...
Qi Tian Inner City.
Gloomy clouds hung overhead, the signature sky of Strange Que, with endless Mysterious Fog swirling, cloaking all in haze.
From the divine clashes, the ground lay fractured but now mended gradually, ruined homes reversing time, particles lifting and reassembling into intact edifices.
Li Che’s coat billowed, black as midnight ink, his dark locks whipping fiercely, potent qi-blood surging over his skin, erupting from thirty-six thousand pores.
His flesh shone with golden luster, booming like resonant metal, muscles and bones gilded, pulsing with mighty vibrations.
Li Che’s body had grown vastly stronger, his Martial Immortal Golden Body boosted to 20%, surging forward immensely.
Yet Li Che understood his Martial Immortal Golden Body had hit a bottleneck. Upon fully merging Martial Immortal Dao Essence with the Martial Immortal Golden Body, the golden form’s power would soar even higher!
