As a father, I just want to quietly watch you live a long life

Chapter 481 - 185: Emperor Xi Xi picked up the Gold Brick, with no resonance with the Temple God [Seeking Monthly Ticket]_2

Su Huaili paused for a moment while brewing tea.

”Return to Jizhou?”

Su Huaili continued to brew tea, the corners of his lips slightly smoothing.

”Good.”

”I will return after I finish dealing with the matters at hand.”

Su Huaili said gently.

Shadow Guard True Person nodded his head.

”Old Prince said, your senior brothers and sisters have already stepped into the Divine Primordial, and your cultivation lags far behind. After returning to Jizhou, they will give you ample resources to greatly improve your cultivation.”

”In three years, outside the Great Scenic Divine Capital, the ’Flat Peach Victory Meeting’ held by The Queen Mother of the West in the Three Pure Bizarre Temples will open, and the Prince wants you to prepare well.”

”If you can win a flat peach, the Prince says you have a chance at achieving Embryonic Breathing,” said the Shadow Guard True Person, his voice floating through the carriage.

Su Huaili paused his movements and chuckled lightly, ”Master... do you have so little faith in me?”

”Only with a flat peach, I have a chance at Embryonic Breathing?”

”I... have no chance of forming a Divine Fetus?”

The Shadow Guard True Person, shrouded in rolling black fog, glanced at Su Huaili.

He didn’t continue the conversation, as this topic was not one to be continued.

However, Su Huaili didn’t mind and continued brewing tea.

...

...

Zhang Ya and Shangguan Qinghong sat back in the carriage, while Li Che was sitting sideways on the coachman’s seat, his face as still as an ancient well, his emotions unreadable.

The wind and rain fluttered, and his ink-black robe waved and lashed through the air.

In the depths of his eyes, black and white chess pieces intertwined, and the lines of the chessboard undulated like waves.

In Li Che’s eyes, the Pure Heart Divine Chess Piece left in Xi Xi’s hand had already reflected the situation of Xi Xi entering into Strange Que right before his eyes.

It was like the luminance of a mirrored reflection.

Li Che’s Primordial Spirit sat upon the Heavenly and Earth chessboard, his Divine Sense forming strands of hair fluttering in the wind, his gaze opening and closing, shining with golden light, facing the scene directly.

His face was incredibly grim.

In the scene...

Xi Xi entered Strange Que, and the Purple Flame Serpent Spear sounded its vibration, emitting purple flames that twined around it, pulling and guiding Xi Xi forward, all of which was revealed.

Up until here, actually, it wasn’t anything special.

But when Xi Xi arrived before the Mysterious Temple,

And saw another ”Xi Xi” sitting on the stairs, Li Che’s pupils contracted.

”Bones scraped to repay my father——”

”Flesh cut to repay my mother——”

”Come——”

That ”Xi Xi” was grasping a Divine Sword, fiercely slicing off her own flesh, with blood mist spraying.

Li Che’s fingers suddenly clenched tightly, a burst of malevolence erupting from him.

What was this situation?

Who was this Xi Xi?!

A reflection and manifestation of the Temple God in the Mysterious Temple?

Is this meant to corrupt my Xi Xi?!

Li Che frowned.

He was about to grasp the Thunder Chess Piece and appear within.

But suddenly,

Li Che’s hand movement stopped, with intersecting lines forming on the chessboard in his eyes.

He then saw that ”Xi Xi,” who was scraping bones and cutting flesh, suddenly raised her head, her sinister gaze seeming to pass through the Thunder Chess Piece and collide directly with Li Che, who was monitoring from the Heavenly and Earth chessboard.

”Xi Xi” cracked a grin, slowly forming a wildly arrogant curve.

”Dead monkey...”

”Don’t rush.”

Her lips met.

Though no sound was made, Li Che understood.

Li Che’s grip on the Thunder Chess Piece paused for a moment.

Within the Heaven and Earth chessboard.

The [Equal to Heaven’s Face] vibrated slightly and then returned to calm.

As if it were saying...

Silly child, you’ve scolded the wrong monkey.

”...”

”This Temple God... is somewhat devilish.”

A divine child?

A demon child?!

Li Che tapped his finger and held the Thunder Chess Piece between his fingertips.

The net of Heaven has spread wide, the move falls on me.

Just a single thought.

And I could take Xi Xi away from danger.

...

...

Mysterious fog churned.

Creak creak...

That was the sound of a blunt knife cutting meat, too clear and piercing, making one’s hair stand on end.

Xi Xi felt all the little hairs on her arm stand up.

She heard the ”Xi Xi” sitting on the stone steps calling out, summoning her.

The chubby-faced Xi Xi’s countenance shook uncontrollably.

”Fake!”

”You are not Xi Xi!”

”I am the real Xi Xi, Li Nuanxi!”

Xi Xi was a bit angry!

She glared with wide eyes, void of fear, lacking terror.

Why go through this charade?!

Daddy and Mommy gave Xi Xi her body, a small cut on Xi Xi’s hands would make Daddy and Mommy distressed.

How could Xi Xi cut flesh to repay Mommy, and carve bone to repay Daddy?

If she did...

Daddy and Mommy would be very, very sad!

Xi Xi definitely didn’t want to make Mommy and Daddy sad!

”That’s not allowed!”

Xi Xi put her hands on her hips, glaring with her little eyes, and shouted in her baby voice.

The figure of ”Xi Xi” sitting on the steps suddenly stiffened for a moment.

Pfft—

The sword in hand, the action still did not stop.

”Why not?”

”Daddy doesn’t love Xi Xi, when there’s trouble he always says it’s Xi Xi’s fault... tells Xi Xi to apologize, to kowtow and bow... ”

”How could Xi Xi be wrong? Even if Xi Xi was wrong... why would Daddy help others to bully Xi Xi?”

The hoarse voice, with a crying tone, accompanied by the sound of cutting flesh.

As if the gates of the Underworld were wide open, countless wailing ghostly winds howled in.

Intending to freeze everything.

To seal it all in ice!

The ”Xi Xi” standing up from the steps, her face was full of sorrowful crying, tears streaming down her face.

Crying very sadly, very miserably.

Just one look from Xi Xi, and she felt the same pain, unable to help but pout, wanting to cry.

But Xi Xi fiercely sniffed, forcibly holding back the tears.

”You’re lying! Daddy is not like what you said!”

”Daddy loves Xi Xi the most, likes Xi Xi the most, and would never help outsiders to bully Xi Xi!”

Xi Xi put her hands on her hips, stubbornly retorted.

That ”Xi Xi” who stood up from the steps, with a puff, the sharp sword sliced off a piece of crimson flesh, which fell to the ground, and with a bang, ignited a blood-red flame!
