As a father, I just want to quietly watch you live a long life Chapter 1740 - 454: Eight Qimen Immortal Seeds Achieve Body Sanctification, the Underworld Welcomes a Newcomer: The Monster Diting [Monthly Ticket Requested]...
Previously on As a father, I just want to quietly watch you live a long life...
A sleek, elongated black silhouette casually emerged from the other side of the portal.
Its four canine paws lightly touched the earth in a poised, crossed-legged manner, while the glossy black hound advanced with a graceful, feline stride typically seen in cats, radiating an unbeatable vibe of boldness.
Within its obsidian eyes, akin to ebony dates, gleamed a vivid glint—a mischievous sparkle, like meeting an old friend after ages apart.
As though declaring, Little Li, it's been ages!
Donning the Netherworld Ox Demon mask, Li Che's gaze brightened right away, the stern expression on his countenance dissolving immediately.
At first, Li Che believed the massive black bull from the City Lord’s Mansion had foreseen his scheme to gather the Twelve Demon Gods and intended to strike ahead!
To his surprise, it turned out to be the long-absent Lord Dog!
Earlier, during the journey from the Divine Capital back to Qianyuan Taoist City, the boss and Lord Dog had accompanied him. The boss mentioned starting a restaurant in Qi Tian City, and now Li Che was here.
Yet, upon arriving in Qi Tian City, he had employed the Heaven and Earth chessboard for a search, but spotted neither the boss nor Lord Dog.
Somewhat let down, he never anticipated Lord Dog showing up in person.
Once Lord Dog stepped into the yard, the portal sealed shut right behind.
Li Che removed the Bull Demon mask, displaying a wide grin, advanced a couple of paces toward Lord Dog, and extended his arms like he was about to embrace it.
Yet Lord Dog gave a scornful eye-roll.
What’s this hugging nonsense?
Do you fancy yourself as Xi Xi?
"Where’s the boss? The boss said he’d open a restaurant in Qi Tian City. Where is it?"
Li Che inquired with curiosity.
Lord Dog surely comprehended his speech, though its willingness to respond was a different issue.
Regarding Lord Dog's ability to converse... Li Che doubted that an entity capable of swatting a Temple God to its end couldn't utter words.
Lord Dog roamed about the yard and promptly pursed its canine lips in discontent.
It glanced at Li Che and rolled its eyes once more, seemingly conveying, Where’s Xi Xi?
Why gaze at you? Lord Dog yearns to spot Xi Xi!
Li Che's extended arms crackled with power, his Martial Immortal Golden Body unleashed thunderous bursts, and potent Qi-Blood surged forth like vapor.
Lord Dog rolled its eyes, as if implying, You've had a minor upgrade and now you're flaunting it, but when my real form emerges, it'll terrify you out of your wits!
After pondering briefly, Li Che balled his Five Fingers to summon Xi Xi, who was practicing alongside Jin Taixui, Yun E, and the rest in the yard, straight from Mo City Fengdu.
Xi Xi materialized in a stupor, her cute large eyes whirling like a tiny sphere in utter bewilderment.
"Daddy?"
Xi Xi stared at Li Che in puzzlement, uncertain how she had shifted from training in the yard.
"Woof—!"
An enthusiastic bark from Lord Dog snapped Xi Xi out of her daze!
"Wow—Gou!"
Spotting Lord Dog, both Xi Xi and Lord Dog's date-like eyes burst with delight.
They rushed toward one another, smashing into a joyful tangle.
Xi Xi whirled about while clutching Lord Dog, her pair of feet gleefully pounding the ground like performing lively kicks.
Li Che observed from the side, filled with joy, his spirits lifting high.
Why?
Because the arrival of Lord Dog and the boss finally meant Xi Xi's protection in Qi Tian City was solidly guaranteed.
Not even that Black Bull Demon God Venerable could endanger Xi Xi's well-being.
Though the precise reason eluded him, the boss and Lord Dog instilled this assurance in Li Che.
At minimum, Xi Xi's security was absolutely ensured...
Li Che even pondered simply depositing Xi Xi at the boss’s restaurant in Qi Tian City; it ought to be extremely secure there.
As these thoughts crossed his mind, it appeared Xi Xi's exchange with Lord Dog had wrapped up.
It consisted mainly of Xi Xi posing queries, with Lord Dog cheerfully swishing its tail and answering via barks, curiously syncing up despite the lack of human speech.
Li Che deemed it fascinating, suspecting his daughter could grasp dog tongue!
The portal parted open, and Lord Dog cheerfully pranced ahead on its canine limbs.
"Daddy, let’s go after it! Gou said he’ll lead us to the boss’s restaurant! We’re going to savor some tasty treats!"
Xi Xi was thrilled to the point where saliva dripped freely.
She hadn’t tasted the boss’s dishes for quite some time, and she truly longed for them!
Witnessing this, Li Che refrained from halting her and trailed Lord Dog out of the yard, with Xi Xi tagging along.
The Heaven and Earth chessboard shrouded them, blocking any sensing.
After all, navigating Qi Tian City demanded Li Che's vigilance.
Fortunately, the Night Bat Demon God had turned into his reliable subordinate, unlikely to divulge their location, even if granted a Three Incense Sticks' duration to alert others.
Nevertheless, Qi Tian City sprawled enormously, and a random run-in with the Black Bull Demon God Venerable might spark needless issues.
As they proceeded, Li Che quickly recognized his worries were superfluous.
In the lane behind his yard, roughly a hundred steps further in, Li Che at last beheld the restaurant he’d missed for so long.
Beneath soft amber lanterns, it cast a warm radiance, reminiscent of being drenched in twilight colors.
Before the restaurant, a figure in white attire lounged on a swaying chair, legs folded, a smoke stick between his lips, azure fumes curling upward and fading into the sky.
