As a father, I just want to quietly watch you live a long life Chapter 1575: 417: Dao Fruit's Fourfold Shedding and Demon Immortal's Ninth Cycle, Xi Xi the Little Niu Demon Walks on Thin Ice
Previously on As a father, I just want to quietly watch you live a long life...
Xi Xi’s small chest rose and fell rapidly, heaving with indignation.
Recalling the girl’s face full of hopelessness and contrasting it with that man’s repulsive expression, Xi Xi felt that her father was truly the greatest person in the entire world!
“I’m going to slip inside and investigate. I want to see exactly what the Ascension Tower is doing with those young girls,” Xi Xi declared.
“Absolutely not!” Yun E replied with a frown, immediately stepping forward to block her and refuse the idea.
Xi Xi confidently puffed out her little stomach: “Aren't we out here to Cultivate and travel the martial world? Aren't we supposed to intervene when we witness injustice? My Daddy told me many tales where heroes always step in to help when they see something wrong… though, of course, only when it is safe to do so.”
“Daddy also taught me that charging blindly into peril just because of an injustice is foolish, but it is right to do what is within one's power.”
Hearing Xi Xi invoke the name of Li Che, Yun E wavered, her resolve beginning to falter.
Noticing this, Xi Xi seized the opportunity at once. She sidled up to Yun E, clutching her arm and swaying it back and forth gently.
“Sister Yun E, there's no need to worry. Emperor Xi Xi has already mastered the True Successor arts from various masters of the Underworld. I am practically invincible!”
Xi Xi tilted her little head up proudly.
She triggered the Slumbering Dragon Elephant technique of the Dragon Elephant Vajra, and in an instant, her entire presence seemed to vanish from the world entirely.
Witnessing this, Yun E could not help but feel a surge of astonishment.
“Hehe, this is the Concealing Breath Technique that Bull Demon Master instructed me in. Isn't it incredible!” Xi Xi boasted.
Yun E fell into a sudden silence because… this Concealing Breath Technique was indeed miraculous. Even though Xi Xi stood right before her eyes, she seemed to have evaporated from the mortal realm.
“We must go with you,” Jin Taixui interjected in a heavy tone.
He simply could not allow Xi Xi to venture out on her own.
However, Xi Xi looked at them with a hint of disdain: “You guys don't even know how to use the Concealing Breath Technique. Besides, I have the Thunder Chess Piece that my daddy gave me. If I truly encounter a crisis, I can use Flying Thunder to escape in a blink!”
“That said, I do require your assistance with something else,” Xi Xi added.
Then, with a look of excitement, she pulled open her Qiankun Jade.
Spreading her five fingers wide, she began pulling out one Spirit Wood Mask after another from the Qiankun Jade. These masks also possessed the ability to hide one's aura, though they were far less effective than the Slumbering Dragon Elephant.
“Look, I’ve already prepared these for you. Let’s call our group… Little Hell!” Xi Xi chirped excitedly.
She passed a Jade Rabbit mask to Yun E and then handed a menacing Snow Wolf mask to Jin Taixui.
Next, she shoved a pig-headed mask with massive ears toward a stunned Zhou Peng.
Finally, she picked out a small, pink calf mask for herself.
She slid the mask over her face, giving it a little tug to adjust the fit.
Yun E, Jin Taixui, and Zhou Peng stared at the masks in their palms, unable to suppress a sudden feeling of anticipation as they thought of Xi Xi’s “Little Hell.”
The sheer power and enigma surrounding the Underworld were the stuff of dreams for these youngsters.
“Xi Xi will carefully remember daddy’s words: walk as if on thin ice!”
“Little Bull Demon Heroine Xi Xi, moving out!”
“Hee ha!”
Xi Xi pumped her small fist, speaking in a hilariously theatrical voice. In the next breath, she snatched a Black Robe from the Qiankun Jade, threw it over her shoulders, hoisted her Immortal Artisan Gatling, and vaulted through the window.
By the time Yun E and the others rushed to the window, they discovered that Xi Xi’s form had… already disappeared.
The three of them traded glances.
Though they felt a sense of helplessness, they ultimately chose to place the masks over their faces.
The Jade Rabbit, the Snow Wolf, and the Pig Head.
Qian Yuan Divine Sect.
Outer Disciple City, Elder Court.
The Study.
Heavy snow drifted outside the window, while inside the study, a charcoal brazier heated a pot of water, sending plumes of steam into the air.
Li Che, who had been in seclusion, slowly pulled his eyes open.
A trace of resignation flickered in his gaze.
“Still calling herself the Little Bull Demon…”
When Xi Xi produced that little calf mask, even Li Che had been taken aback. When had the girl learned the art of carving?
That little girl must have been planning this for a long time, just waiting for the right moment to strike, hadn't she?
Little Bull Demon Xi Xi?
Li Che chuckled softly and gave a slight shake of his head.
“Ascending Immortal Pavilion…” The faint smile on Li Che’s face gradually vanished, replaced by a sharp, cold glint in his eyes.
“Go on then, little girl.”
“No matter what kind of chaos you stir up…”
“Your Daddy will always be there to back you up.”
