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

Chapter 633: Chapter 219: The Despair of Knowing Longevity but Unable to Obtain It, the Dao Fruit Nurtures All Five Zang Divine Gang_4

“`

Wearing a gentle and honest smile on his face.

Knowing the truth, Li Che did not utter a word.

Nie Yang, cold and detached, laid out the finely packed food and drinks from the best tavern in Dao City on the table.

Everyone drink and ate, their toasts crisscrossing over one another.

After three rounds of drinks, Li Che watched Xi Xi fighting over chicken legs with Yellow Sword Wine and his eyes flickered slightly as he raised a toast to Jiao Shaoqiu.

“Elder Jiao, what do you know about the Su Family?”

Li Che asked.

Yellow Sword Wine, who was battling with Xi Xi for the chicken leg, suddenly raised his head, let go of the leg, which caught Xi Xi off guard with a back-lean, and then triumphantly nibbled on the leg.

Jiao Shaoqiu glanced at Yellow Sword Wine, then clinked cups with Li Che: “Why the sudden interest in the Su Family?”

“Dao City’s top noble family, a name I have long heard of,” Li Che said warmly.

“Ha… top noble family?” Yellow Sword Wine twisted off a chicken’s head and crunched it down fiercely.

“Just a hypocritical noble family! A noble family that serves as stud horses, that’s all!” Yellow Sword Wine scoffed coldly, his tone carrying a note of chill.

“To keep their bloodline pure, the Su Family forbids their women from marrying outside. However, the men of the Su Family specifically target women with good talents, seducing them to devote their lives to marrying into the Su Family!”

“Those women who marry into the Su Family… not a single one ends well, their talents unmistakable, yet once they join the Su Family, they become indistinct from others, bearing children and continuing the lineage, and ultimately…”

“Lose their spirituality as if their talent has been stripped away!”

Yellow Sword Wine said coldly.

“Surely the Su Family has mastered an extremely evil Divine Secret Technique!”

“Just like the Corpse God Cult, they are disgusting maggots!”

Yellow Sword Wine’s resentment was profound.

He closed his eyes in pain, as the radiant face of a young girl he grew up with flickered before him, now… faded and wasted, the flower of her youth gone!

The angrier he got, the faster he ate the chicken.

Xi Xi couldn’t snatch any from him.

Xi Xi suspected this person was just using his anger as an excuse to snatch her roast chicken!

Jiao Shaoqiu sighed and nodded: “But… when it comes to matters of mutual consent, who can stand in the way?”

“The Su Family cultivates the Divinity of desire among the Seven Emotions and Six Desires, possessing the power of enchantment. Is it really mutual love? Who knows?!”

Yellow Sword Wine said in a deep voice.

“Without evidence, do not jump to conclusions. The Su Family… they have a Divine Fetus at their disposal.”

Jiao Shaoqiu said.

“Also, how old are you now? If the Boss Lady didn’t have feelings for you, would she have allowed your tab to run for so many years? She came to the Sect to collect the debt, but it was only to see you…”

“After so many years, you still can’t let it go!”

Jiao Shaoqiu’s voice carried a hint of persuasion.

But Yellow Sword Wine did not answer, instead turning his head to grapple with Xi Xi for a pig’s trotter, suddenly realizing that food you fight for always tastes better!

Jiao Shaoqiu grew frustrated; managing Yellow Sword Wine all these years was like dealing with a rebellious son.

That tavern Boss Lady, from a little girl delivering wine to Yellow Sword Wine, to growing up pouring wine for him, to now, giving him credit…

Eyes only for this scruffy guy.

Such a good woman!

To encounter such an aggravating character!

Li Che and Zhang Ya listened with gossiping hearts, while Li Qingshan and Nurse Momo curiously leaned in to listen as well…

Jiao Shaoqiu gave a light cough, then solemnly started chatting about Yellow Sword Wine’s gossip with Li Che and others.

…

…

At night, Li Che and his family stayed a night in Elder Jiao’s courtyard.

The next day, the spring rain pattered down.

Xi Xi’s eyes brimmed with tears, she hugged Zhang Ya’s neck tightly, refusing to let go.

“Mommy——!!!”

“Xi Xi will miss you! Will miss braised pork, will miss grilled pork knuckles, will miss…”

“Wuu wuu wuu, Xi Xi can’t bear to leave Mommy… and Daddy too.”

Li Che’s face darkened at this, feeling like a bit of an afterthought.

Only four years old, and already showing signs of acting out?

“Don’t worry, in a few days, Daddy and Mommy will come to stay with you in the Divine Sect.”

Li Che rubbed Xi Xi’s head, comforting her.

“Pinky promise!”

Xi Xi extended her chubby little pinkie.

After making the pinky promise with her, Xi Xi pouted, still a little unhappy, reminiscent of a child’s first day at kindergarten.

Sang Guanyin took Xi Xi into her arms, gently comforting her; the towering Bian Yuanlong squatted down, clumsily trying to console her as well.

“Don’t cry Xi Xi, in a few days, Master Bian Bian will take you to the Strange Temple to fight monsters!”

Bian Yuanlong’s voice boomed like distant thunder.

“Second Brother, Xi Xi is only four years old!” Sang Guanyin chided him.

But Xi Xi’s eyes shone with excitement as she slipped out from Sang Guanyin’s embrace and climbed onto Bian Yuanlong’s shoulder.

“Master Bian Bian, you promised, okay? Xi Xi wants to fight monsters! Don’t lie to Xi Xi, or I’ll call Master Niu Niu to beat you up! Master Niu Niu is even stronger than you!”

Xi Xi said, tilting her head up.

Bian Yuanlong immediately burst into a hearty laugh.

He, Bian Yuanlong, cultivated the Divinity of a colossal being…

Stronger than him?

…

…

Old Chen drove and took Li Che and Zhang Ya from the Divine Sect Mountain Gate.

“`

Nurse Momo also followed in their carriage, but she couldn’t reside within the Divine Sect for the long term, and the Divinity within the Divine Sect was too active, which didn’t suit her well.

Back at the courtyard in Liuxiang Lane of the Inner City.

The crowd seemed somewhat despondent, with Zhang Ya being somewhat distracted. She was even more worried than before when Xi Xi left for Golden Light Peak to cultivate.

Because back then, Zhang Ya could still see her often. But after the assassination incident, her beloved moved to Zheng Lei Peak, and Xi Xi essentially lived with them.

However, now they were truly separated.

Because outsiders were not allowed at the Divine Sect Mountain Gate, Xi Xi would only have two or three chances to leave the gate and see them in a year.

Therefore, Zhang Ya was truly reluctant to part with her.

Thinking of how Xi Xi, at only four years old, had to struggle and fight in the fiercely competitive Divine Sect Mountain Gate.

A pang of worry gripped Zhang Ya’s heart.

As a mother, she would always be concerned about this and that, worried whether Xi Xi was eating well, sleeping well…

Whether cultivation was too difficult, whether getting hurt was too painful…

Li Che certainly knew what Zhang Ya was worried about and gently wrapped his arms around his wife sitting on the edge of the bed, stroking her black hair.

“Rest assured, my wife. Once I become an Elder of Divine Carving Ridge… I will be able to move freely in and out of the Divine Sect, and then I can see Xi Xi every day.”

Li Che’s voice was gentle, and his Innocent Heart Divinity surged forth to soothe his wife.

Zhang Ya’s cheek pressed against Li Che’s chest, feeling calm and at peace.

“Mhm.”

“Believe in your husband.”

…

…

Outer City.

Thunder Alley.

As night fell, the spring breeze was refreshing tonight, as the spring rain that had been continuous for several days stopped. The leaden clouds seemed to be parted by a gigantic hand, unveiling the stars that filled the sky!

It was as though the Immortals had scattered beans, the alternating light, and darkness decorating the vault of heaven.

Inside the courtyard.

Li Che stood upright, his eyes seemingly reflecting a myriad of starlight.

“The Su Family…”

“Xi Xi’s cultivation of the Divine Foundation took place in the carriage parked not far away, aside from Su Chuyang there was also an old man, that old man… very strong, incredibly strong!”

“Is he a Divine Origin Great True Man of the Embryonic Breathing stage?”

“Comparable to the Supreme Grandmaster with Three Flowers Atop!”

“It seems like he is an Elder of the Su Family, as well as one of the seven Great Elders within the Inner Sect of the Divine Sect…”

“Fixated on Xi Xi…”

Li Che thought of the resentful words of Yellow Sword Wine.

Yellow Sword Wine’s childhood sweetheart…

Once the pride of the heavens, now a pitiful woman who has aged and lost her radiant splendor, leaning against the railing…

Li Che slowly closed his eyes.

Just imagining it… he felt an endless rage rolling like a tidal wave, ready to erupt and spill out!

Which father, seeing his daughter in such a plight, could bear it in his heart?

This fixation was not the same as that of the Demon Child…

The Demon Child was simply lustful given his young age, whereas the Su Family… had no affection, only fixated on Xi Xi’s talent!

Wanting to completely drain the talent, leaving it to fend for itself!

The latter was even more despicable!

The Su Family…

“Right now, I am not strong enough… I must become stronger, only by being strong enough can I become the most solid backing for my daughter!”

The next moment, Li Che’s eyes abruptly opened!

In an instant.

The Dragon Elephant Vajra Dao Fruit that had been accumulating in his chest burst forth its spiritual essence.

His eyes shone brilliantly like the stars!

A tremendous rumbling noise came from within his body, as if an unparalleled Pill Furnace was burning to its limit, then exploded!

An intimidating Qi-Blood emerged like a dense mist, gushing out from every tiny pore of his body!

Hot and surging Blood Qi boiled like in a steaming cage!

With a single step, he executed the Lingxu Baqi Step!

Even the void seemed to twist oddly, as six figures of Li Che, each with a different posture, appeared instantaneously within the courtyard!

He even stepped into the air, striding through the void!

Buzz—!!!

A long saber used by the Black Armored Blood Guard landed in Li Che’s hand, the narrow blade rolling and the rampant Sword Energy roaring out oppressively!

Taking a risk, Qian Shan Duxing!

Puff—!

The dense flow of Qi was slashed apart by the saber, bursting in every direction, torrents of Qi surging into the surroundings!

Boiling and explosive Blood Qi churned and erupted!

Li Che landed.

The long saber stabbed into the ground, its hilt vibrating incessantly.

Li Che’s eyes opened and closed, a substantial glint of electricity flickering within his pupils.

Slowly, he raised both his palms.

Within his hands, two additional strands of newly formed Divine Gang…

Like python bursting its shell.

He roared to the heavens!
