As a Father, I Just Want to Watch You Achieve Immortality

For instance, Sang Guanyin and Xi Xi's second senior brother Bian Bian were all present, preparing to celebrate Xi Xi's birthday.

Bian Yuanlong's body was as imposing as a small mountain, with muscles bulging like they were cast from steel.

In his hands, he was carrying a huge demon beast, a Dragon Pig, its body covered in scales.

"Hehe, I specially went to the mountains outside Dao City this morning to hunt this demon beast, the Dragon Pig. I'll take care of it, and tonight I'll make a feast of demon beast for Xi Xi."

Bian Yuanlong said with a chuckle.

Demon beast...

Li Che's eyes fell onto the struggling Dragon Pig.

Infused with the divinity of the Mysterious Temple, once the Strange Que is opened, demons escape and then breed with the animals of this world to produce demon beasts.

Some demon beasts, after gaining intelligence, can become extremely terrifying.

"I'll do it."

Suddenly, the shopkeeper, dressed in white clothes purer than snow, slowly walked out and said indifferently.

"I'm a professional."

"I'm afraid your cooking might be disgusting and upset Xi Xi."

Bian Yuanlong: "..."

Imposing as he was, he looked down at this thin young man in white.

His eyes were round like copper bells.

"You can insult me, but you cannot insult my culinary skills!" Bian Yuanlong said with gravity: "In my efforts to make it onto the List of Extraordinary Persons... I often go to the wild mountains and ridges outside Dao City to fight with demon beasts and cook their meat to stave off hunger..."

"My culinary skills are truly hard-earned."

Bian Yuanlong said solemnly.

"Oh." The shopkeeper said lightly: "Repeat that in a moment."

After speaking, he gently took the Dragon Pig from Bian Yuanlong's hands and walked towards the kitchen.

Bian Yuanlong scratched his head...

This person, what great strength!

Li Che, of course, saw this scene and could only say the shopkeeper was really doting on Xi Xi. Otherwise, with the shopkeeper's lazy demeanor, how could he possibly have taken on this task?

He must be really afraid that Bian Yuanlong's cooking skills would disgust Xi Xi.

As the little birthday girl, Xi Xi was happily running around in the yard.

"Daddy, Mommy! Look at me, Xi Xi has really been practicing cultivation well these days! I am already at the Divine Vein stage!"

Xi Xi burst with Qi-Blood to demonstrate for Li Che and Zhang Ya, showing off.

"Xi Xi will catch up to stinky Daddy soon!"

Xi Xi clenched her little fists, excitedly claiming.

She remembered, her daddy seemed to be just a small Grandmaster, right?

The Big Black Dog always stuck close to Xi Xi, wherever Xi Xi went, it followed.

Li Qingshan was also there; as he walked, there was a fierce Gang Qi that ravaged and entwined around him. Clearly, having spent over half a year in seclusion, he had successfully broken through to the Great Grandmaster Realm.

Li Che sat on a chair and chatted with him.

Li Che indeed hadn't seen Li Qingshan for quite some time.

Li Qingshan was vibrant with excitement, spirits high with uncontainable energy.

"A Che, remember to call me, I'm terribly strong now!"

Li Qingshan clearly had just broken through recently, with unrestrained Divine Gang Qi swirling within him, still somewhat uncontrollable.

From time to time, Thunder Arcs twined and flickered around him.

Li Che looked at Li Qingshan and smiled: "Sure, there should be an operation coming up soon... I'll call you then."

Li Qingshan and Li Che were communicating through voice transmission, and at these words, his eyes instantly shone with sharpness.

"Who's the target?... I, Cat Face, one Ram Horn Hammer, will smash his head!"

Li Qingshan felt he was now terrifyingly strong!

Even if it was an Innate Great Grandmaster, he dared to clash with one, and although he would perish with just one touch, this sharp energy from just breaking through was unstoppable.

"The target... a Divine Sect elder, Su Helian."

Li Che grabbed a clean peach and took a bite.

Li Qingshan: "I might need to consolidate my Gang Qi a bit more."

"Dinner is served."

Suddenly, a faint voice drifted through, instantly overpowering all other sounds.

Rich aroma wafted from the direction of the kitchen, and just by smelling, it seemed as though one could see the golden, glistening roast pork.

Drips of rich golden juice trickled down from the roast suckling pig, falling into the charcoal, and making a sizzling sound.

This aroma completely captivated everyone present.

Even Elder Jiao Shaoqiu, a figure of restraint and maturity, couldn't help but move his neck slightly.

The shopkeeper in white gracefully carried the roasted Dragon Pig out from the kitchen.

Placing it on the dining table.

The wind and snow seemed isolated from the world, leaving only the unending fragrance in the yard.

"Xi Xi, come."

With a knife in hand, the shopkeeper sliced open the roasted, golden and shiny Dragon Pig.

Crack, crack, crack, as the blade cut through the light, crispy skin of the Dragon Pig, revealing the tender white meat steaming with heat underneath.

The various dishes contained inside poured out like treasure gleaming with precious light.

The owner personally sliced some pork and chopped a pig trotter, then served a bowl of vegetables hidden inside the roasted Dragon Pig's stomach to Xi Xi, who was already drooling with impatience.

"Eat up." The owner ruffled Xi Xi's hair.

Everyone quickly started to dig in.

Bian Yuanlong's body was like a small mountain, and once he took a bite, he couldn't stop.

"Please, indulge in shaming my culinary skills to your heart's content."

Bian Yuanlong couldn't even lift his head, continuously eating.

Zhou Peng, Yun E, and Zhong Liuxiu also arrived.

While eating, Zhou Peng was shedding tears.

"I shouldn't eat piggy, but I can't help myself... It's too delicious!"

Jiao Shaoqiu looked with some amazement at the young man in white and then at the Big Black Dog that was fiercely gnawing on a pigtail.

His murky and profound eyes suddenly narrowed slightly.

Seemingly, some images overlapped in his mind.

Man in white with a dog...

Jiao Shaoqiu's eyes narrowed slightly.

He thought of the Temple God of the Strange Temple suppressed by Divine Sect, whose image seemed to almost completely overlap.

Jiao Shaoqiu closed his eyes, then opened them, his Divinity cleansing his eyesight.

His Primordial Spirit emitted Golden Light, and he looked fiercely.

That familiar feeling then disappeared again.

"Indeed... The black dog by the side of the True Monarch Temple God was a slender one, how could it be so fat."

"And the True Monarch has a vertical divine eye on his forehead..."

"I'm old, so old..."

Jiao Shaoqiu shook his head and sighed deeply.

Now completely aged, his lifespan nearing its end, he could only cultivate some good children for the Sect in his last days.

Outside the courtyard.

A figure staggered toward them, drunk.

"Oh my—what a delicious aroma, you guys are eating tasty food without calling me?"

Yellow Sword Wine walked in, ragged and tipsy, from outside the courtyard.

Then, he saw the Big Black Dog that was baring its teeth and gnawing on a pig's trotter.

Yellow Sword Wine suddenly felt a vague pain at the back of his head!

"This dog... this dog..."

Yellow Sword Wine watched, feeling a sense of familiarity.

It seemed he had seen it somewhere before.

Could it be from that dog meat restaurant in the east of the city?

...

...

After a satisfying meal and drink.

The courtyard returned to its quiet state.

"Dad, Mom, wait for Xi Xi, I will become strong very soon, a little more, then I can take missions outside the mountain and sneak away to see you!"

Xi Xi was somewhat reluctant to leave Li Che and Zhang Ya but spoke firmly and sensibly.

She knew her parents sent her to Divine Sect for her own good.

Also, Elder Jiao told her, once she became a direct Disciple of the Great God Sect Master, the Divine Sect would yield to her say, and she could go anywhere she wished.

Therefore, Xi Xi practiced her Cultivation diligently, yearning to become a direct Disciple of the Sect Master!

"Xi Xi will go to a Strange Temple within the Strange Que to train tomorrow..."

"So I can't keep you here tonight."

Jiao Shaoqiu spoke with a hint of apology.

Li Che and Zhang Ya waved it off; they had been seeing Xi Xi almost every night, so it really didn't matter much.

After bidding farewell to Xi Xi.

A group of people took a carriage and left the Divine Sect Mountain Gate, and because it was late at night, Jiao Shaoqiu had Nie Yang personally escort them, accompanying them through the Strange Temples active in the night within the Divine Sect Mountain Gate, to prevent the Strange Temples from expanding their Strange Ques and Mysterious Fog upon detecting the presence of strangers.

Li Qingshan also followed the carriage out.

The cold wind rustled, and snowflakes were icy.

At the city gate.

Xi Xi kept jumping and waving her hands.

Li Che slowly withdrew his gaze, Zhang Ya leaning against him in his arms: "Husband... Xi Xi has become so sensible."

"But, her being so sensible... it breaks my heart."

"What a good daughter we have..."

Zhang Ya murmured softly.

Li Che's eyes were deep as he turned to look out the window.

"Yes... such a good daughter we have."

"So anyone who covets my daughter..."

"Must die."
