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

Chapter 1823: Chapter 472: Fairy in the Painting V—Shedding the Primordial Withering Branch, Breaking Through as Unparalleled Martial Immortal on the Blood Moon Night

The amber lights cast a soft glow, reflecting mottled shadows on the ground.

The elongated shadows seem to intertwine reality with fantasy.

In front of the restaurant.

Old Monkey dressed in cloth garments, walking slowly with hands clasped behind his back, not causing much disturbance, like an old man taking a leisurely stroll through the alley, enjoying the bustle of a restaurant.

However, inside the restaurant.

Gazes upon gazes were cast towards Old Monkey.

The boss, dressed in white as pure as snow, constantly spirited, looked at Old Monkey with a trace of complexity in his eyes.

“Divine Monarch, long time no see, huh.”

Old Monkey grinned, revealing the fangs in his mouth. Even as a deity, he maintained the beastly form of a Divine Monkey, with sharp teeth that never disappeared.

“Great Saint, long time no see.”

The boss, dressed in white as pure as snow, brushed the ashes off the cigarette at his fingertips, which fluttered in the air.

A subtle curve hung from his lips as he rose from his chair.

Both seemed like old friends, locking eyes with each other across time and space, moments connecting them.

Old Monkey’s cloth garments flapped in the night wind as he entered the restaurant.

“You’ve made Old Sun search thoroughly, right within Qi Tian City, yet I was completely unaware. You truly always love being mysterious.”

“You’re running a restaurant, aren’t you? Won’t you open for business? Being so secretive, few know of this restaurant, let alone come as customers.”

Old Monkey grumbled, suddenly finding his words multiplied.

Xi Xi sat on a chair, swinging her gleaming toes, her long eyelashes trembling lightly, her cheeks puffing adorably.

“Monkey… Mr. Monkey!”

Xi Xi got excited, seeming to recognize the old creature.

It was the deity revived from the Mysterious Temple in the image cast by the boss’s cigarette smoke!

This is the Great Sage Equalling Heaven!

Her father had indeed told Xi Xi about the Great Sage Equalling Heaven’s tales, Mr. Monkey, you’re truly remarkable!

Xi Xi gleamed with excitement, her munching mouth moving faster.

Old Monkey also noticed Xi Xi’s gaze, a complex expression evident in his eyes.

With merely a glance, Old Monkey could determine, this little girl, undoubtedly is the Daughter of Prison Lotus…

Yet, compared to the once cold, silent, and massacre-driven girl, today’s Daughter of Prison Lotus… Isn’t she way off track?!

In this era of rising Divine Tide, the leader of Prison Lotus…

Is really this little girl?!

Prison Lotus is bound to be hung and beaten by the All Gods Camp, right?

Old Monkey scratched his monkey hair, for a moment, feeling a bit numb. Is this little girl really reliable?

Xi Xi scampered towards Old Monkey, raising her head to meet the frail figure, her eyes twinkling, gulping down a tea egg with a sound.

“Mr. Monkey!”

Xi Xi laughed happily.

“Father told Xi Xi stories about Mr. Monkey!”

Old Monkey glanced at Xi Xi, then raised his head, looking at the boss in white as snow, his eyes filled with inquiry.

The boss extinguished the cigarette, couldn’t help but slightly raise his lips, not speaking, maintaining a cool demeanor.

As if saying, this time’s Daughter of Prison Lotus amidst the Divine Tide is like this, innocent and playful, incredibly adorable.

Maybe due to being so well protected, she’s somewhat unaware of worldly affairs, lingering with the childlike innocence and vitality unique to children.

This…

Should not be the Daughter of Prison Lotus.

Yet, Old Monkey squinted his eyes, surprisingly feeling quite pleased.

Perhaps, this kind of Daughter of Prison Lotus, isn’t so bad?

Old Monkey reached out his hand, rubbing Xi Xi’s head, a touch of gentleness surfacing on his face.

But behind that gentleness, there were traces of confusion and curiosity.

Why would the Daughter of Prison Lotus undergo such a change?

What altered everything?

The Daughter of Prison Lotus, once the Heavenly Slaughter Star, now has a living father, being so well protected, not experiencing the inherent tempering of fate, yet not falling into darkness…

Everything seems as though an invisible hand is silently altering everything.

Making the previously clear path shrouded by fog, unable to clearly see the future.

What exactly changed?

Old Monkey suddenly thought of something, his golden eyes slightly moved.

Is it the Daughter of Prison Lotus’s father?

Has that living Father of Prison Lotus changed the originally fixed trajectory?!

“Great Saint, would you like something to eat?”

The boss suddenly spoke, interrupting Old Monkey’s pondering.

Old Monkey paused, smiled, leading Xi Xi, stepping further into the restaurant.

Ding ding…

The door of the restaurant swung open, wind chimes reverberating, emitting a crisp sound.

“Order… some fried rice with egg, please.”

…

…

Qi Tian Inner City.

The sky dreary and overcast, it was the sky of Strange Que, countless Mysterious Fog rolling over, obscuring everything.

Due to the godly battles, the surface shattered, now slowly begins healing, collapsed houses seemingly time-reversing, granules rise floating, re-stack, rebuilding complete structures.

Li Che’s coat fluttering, dark as thick ink, the jet-black vigorous strands swirling violently, strong qi-blood flowing across his skin, bursting from thirty-six thousand pores.

His skin glows golden, resounding gold, muscles and bones seemingly gold-plated, strong waves vibrating.

Li Che’s physical body now immensely powerful, his Martial Immortal Golden Body raised to 20%, enhancing tremendously.

However, Li Che knows, his Martial Immortal Golden Body is actually stuck in a bottleneck. Once he completes the integration of Martial Immortal Dao Essence and Martial Immortal Golden Body, the golden body’s enhancement will further ascend!
