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

Chapter 596: Chapter 211 Xi Xi’s First Day Not Coming to the Restaurant, Missing Her, Desire and Fear of the Jade Tower and Cold Immortal Mysterious Temple

The night was hazy, with a dim yellow candlelight fiercely shining in the darkness.

The entire alley was quiet.

So quiet that it could be called serene, the sound of the spring rain falling on the black tiles was as startling as thunder.

So quiet that the sound of raindrops colliding with each other as the cool breeze blew through the spring rain resembled the symphony of clashing weapons.

Li Che’s black robe was soaked with rainwater, as the spring rain seemed to gradually become torrential.

However, the increasingly heavy rain curtain that obscured the human world couldn’t hide the dim yellow light shining from the restaurant.

...
The familiar Big Black Dog was lying on the ground, its fur black and glossy, obviously well-fed recently.

It was showing its teeth to Li Che, revealing an anthropomorphic smile.

Li Che silently watched the Big Black Dog.

A chill suddenly rose from the soles of his feet, spreading throughout his body instantly, causing every pore to open and emit a cool breeze.

This Big Black Dog…

How could it appear in Dao City?!

If it were in Golden Light Prefecture City, Li Che wouldn’t be surprised, but this is Dao City…

Could it be that the restaurant has also moved here?

Li Che’s brow furrowed, and numerous doubts rose in his heart, intertwining like a thick fog without cease.

The other party…

Did they purposely follow him?

This thought involuntarily appeared in Li Che’s mind.

But upon reflection, he felt it was somewhat vain.

After all, the world is vast; where others wish to go… what does it have to do with him?

Surely it couldn’t be that just because Li Che came to Dao City, the restaurant owner and the Big Black Dog wouldn’t come to Dao City?

Originally, Li Che had noticed something extraordinary about this restaurant.

When he was in Golden Light Prefecture, Li Che thought the restaurant appeared because of the Four Sovereigns Eight Arms Prison Lotus Wrathful Third Prince Mysterious Temple.

It seemed to be guarding, watching over that Strange Temple.

It seems now…

His judgment was wrong.

Regaining his composure, with eyes deep and thoughtful, Li Che stared at the Big Black Dog, which grinned at him for a while as if it didn’t wait for Li Che’s reaction, rolled its eyes, and laid back down.

Such an uninteresting person.

Li Che seemed to read this thought from the reaction of the Big Black Dog.

Exhaling a breath, he shredded the particles of spring rain.

Li Che finally took a step forward, walking towards the restaurant.

The same layout, the same door, and the same dog.

Li Che pushed the door open; the curtain struck the copper bell hanging at the doorway, immediately making a clanging sound.

Li Che entered the restaurant, noticing some changes inside, seemingly a bit more spacious.

But not by much.

The Qi-Blood in Li Che’s body roared like a dragon, as if a furnace burned within him, vibrating the spring rain off his body and evaporating it into vapor.

Feeling refreshed and clean, he stepped into the restaurant and found a chair to sit down.

The white-robed owner emerged from inside, with black hair hanging down and his face bearing a touch of cool indifference.

Seeing Li Che, he nodded as if familiar with an old customer: “You’re here?”

Li Che looked at the young man in white, then replied: “I am here.”

Outside the restaurant, the spring rain poured heavily, washing the cobblestone alley until it shone like oil, reflecting the light.

The vapor mingled with the spring rain, howling and swirling, filling the air with the scent of spring.

Inside the restaurant, the curtains fluttered gently, with the light breeze rippling.

“What would you like to eat?”

The white-robed owner took the apron hanging on the wall, putting it on while softly asking Li Che.

“I don’t know.”

“Owner, please decide for me.”

Sitting in the chair and leaning against the backrest, Li Che also relaxed.

Well, it does really feel like coming home here in the restaurant.

It gave Li Che a different kind of ease, as if his tense nerves could finally be released.

After coming to Dao City, Li Che was quite nervous. Although he had many trump cards and the Instantaneous Movement from the Flying Thunder Chess Saint,

the pressure was still immense because Dao City was very different from the Mansion City.

There were too many strong beings, and too many harbored ill intentions towards Xi Xi.

That Su Huaili must have informed You Liqing and other strong beings of Ji Moli lineage about the betting incident with Ji Haihui.

Ji Moli, as You Liqing’s master, naturally could not tolerate his teacher’s bloodline being treated as a servant.

So surely, they would target Xi Xi.

Of course, this was because Li Che was thinking of the worst-case scenario.

But being in a strange place and treading on thin ice, one should not think optimistically and underestimate the evil and ugliness of human nature.

Beyond that, there was also the Demon Child from the Corpse God Cult, who also had his sights set on Xi Xi, obsessively wanting to make her his future Sect Leader’s Wife.

To have his sights set on Li Che’s daughter from childhood, with the intention to groom her as a wife…

Tch!

The thought alone made him angry.

Leaning back in the chair, Li Che exhaled.

But in this restaurant, there was an inexplicable sense of security.

Although the origins of the restaurant were unknown and everything seemed mysterious, this sense of security was something Li Che enjoyed.

Inside his chest, the five Dao Fruits were as still as virgins, with not a hint of danger or warning.

This meant the restaurant was safe enough.

Li Che trusted the Dao Fruits; if there was even the slightest malice, they would detect it.

If the other party could even deceive the Dao Fruits,

Li Che probably wouldn’t be able to make much of a splash in resistance.

Better to save his energy and eat a few more bowls of rice at the restaurant because…

The owner’s cooking skills are truly remarkable!

The aroma wafted, seemingly turning into tangible smoke drifting out from the back kitchen; although it was just a simple scent of noodles, it transformed into many unforgettable flavors upon entering the heart.

It was as if it evoked childhood memories, causing Li Che to inadvertently recall scenes from his past life.
