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

Chapter 1756: Chapter 457: A Monkey Who Defies Heaven Dwells in the Heart, Gathering the Last Qitian Mask Piece

”Unless someone who can resonate with the four elements of Qitian Temple appears...”

”Is there such a person?”

Fang Hanshu shook his head, the factions were inherently opposed, how could a cultivator appear who fits all four factions?

Both demon and Buddha, involving Prison Lotus, and connected to the Dark Heavenly Court...

What kind of anomaly would this be?

Anyway, Fang Hanshu couldn’t imagine it.

However, there was a slight chill in his heart.

Fang Hanshu’s gaze fell on Li Che, who was wearing the Divine Monkey Mask.

He whispered softly.

”Even the Underworld... probably couldn’t do it, right?”

In his tone, there was a trace of doubt instead of his previous certainty.

The main thing was... the impact the Underworld had on him was truly too strong.

This force truly seemed impenetrable.

”Is that... demon energy?!”

Suddenly.

Lv Taibai exclaimed, pointing towards the direction of the Divine Monkey, he was astonished to find on the Divine Monkey...

Suddenly bursting with extremely dense demon energy!

...

...

Rumble——

Demon energy erupted from the physical body, the Ten Thousand Demon Emperor Tao Fruit vibrated, compressing every inch of demon energy, as if the world had become dim.

The Monkey King, seated on the throne, paused for a moment, then clasped his hands before him, like the movements of butterfly flowers.

”Turns out you are my fellow demon race! Pleasure to meet you, pleasure to meet you!”

The Monkey King suddenly leapt down from the throne, pulling Li Che, who was releasing demon energy, seemingly transforming into a peerless Great Demon, up to the throne.

All around, the terrifying aura of the Demon Saints seemed to soften considerably.

The waterfall washed away, roaring in waves.

The entire Huaguo Mountain was filled with towering demon energy, countless demon monkeys sprinting joyfully throughout the mountains, picking fruits and placing them in stone bowls to present them.

Bonfire flames shot up, a wild boar slain, pierced with wooden branches, set on the bonfire, roasting to a golden color, juices dripping onto the flames, sparks flying.

There were red-faced monkeys, pouring fine wine for each Demon Saint.

The rich fragrance of wine wove through the air.

Li Che was pulled by the Monkey King, sat down on a chair, drank fine wine, ate fruits and vegetables, feeling good.

These demon race members were very simple, celebrating with straightforward and pure joy belonging to the demon race.

Originally, Li Che did not have a fondness for the demon race, but now, his heart softened somewhat towards them.

Of course, what Li Che faced was this joyful demon race in the Temple God Resonance, not the demon race in the Deceit Demon Cave he faced now.

The demons of the Deceit Demon Cave targeted his daughter, wanted to take his daughter, this was intolerable, Li Che would be ruthless and resolute.

If they need to be killed, then kill them.

Previously, if his cultivation was not strong enough, facing threats to his daughter from opponents coveting his daughter, Li Che had to endure and wait some days to act.

Now, Li Che had the confidence and ability to retaliate against and resolve grievances instantly.

The celebration with the demon race had gone on for an unknown amount of time.

Li Che did not know how much Monkey Wine he drank, surprisingly drunk, feeling dizzy and disoriented.

When he opened his eyes, he found himself riding clouds, accompanied by the Monkey King.

But it probably couldn’t be called the Monkey King anymore, because he wore an official position cap, tilted slightly, with colorful robes, appearing somewhat comical.

”Do you think this king holds high office in the Heavenly Court?”

The Monkey King smiled, revealing his teeth.

Then he jumped around a bit, squinting his eyes: ”Holding a high position in the Heavenly Court is great, my monkey subjects on Huaguo Mountain can settle down completely because their king is a high official!”

”They have backing, support, even if they fight monsters from other mountains, speaking of their king, they gain face, living carefree and happily!”

The Monkey King laughed.

The Monkey King grabbed a peach, took two or three bites, and casually threw it aside, looking at Li Che with a sidelong glance: ”Are you an official?”

Li Che was a bit dazed.

Was he an official?

He looked at the Monkey King’s eyes, then smiled softly, shaking his head.

”No.”

He wasn’t bound by official status, free and unfettered.

There wasn’t much disappointment in the Monkey King’s eyes, instead a hint of relief.

”Not being an official is good, what’s good about being an official... wearing a cap every day, having to be serious, not free at all.”

The Monkey King shook his head.

”This king kind of envies you.”

Buzz buzz buzz——

After the words fell, Li Che’s vision blurred again, he realized his resonance had increased considerably.

Li Che had hesitated on the topic of being an official.

Not knowing how to respond.

In fact, Li Che could also answer that he was an official, because he held the identity of a Special Class Guest Elder at Qintian Observatory, which was half an official position.

But Li Che ultimately chose to say he wasn’t an official.

And obviously, his answer was correct.

In Qitian, he didn’t want to be an official.

Scenes continued to rotate, the Monkey King held steady office in the Heavenly Court, providing his monkey subjects at Huaguo Mountain with protection through his status.

Then, due to the opening of the Peach Festival, without being invited, he sneaked into the Immortal Peach Orchard and devoured the flat peaches, even reprimanded a fairy.

The Monkey King took a bite of a flat peach, tossed it to the ground, burped contently, and glanced sideways at Li Che.
