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

Chapter 1471: Chapter 396: Sect Master, Are We Really Rebelling? Opening the Ten Thousand Feet Qi Sea Golden Pond Mountain Climbing Path [Monthly Ticket Request]

He mastered each Dao Fruit and even evolved them to a lv6 rank.

With full power, he could even kill a top-level peak!

So, he was no longer ordinary.

Because of the bond between him and his daughter, he was no longer ordinary. Since he was no longer ordinary, how could he be content to sink into obscurity?

What Li Che sought was indeed the warmth of family life.

But now, without sufficient strength as a guarantee, the leisurely days of family warmth would not last long before they would be utterly shattered, or even... irrevocably destroyed.

"What that old man said just now wasn’t wrong."

As Li Che was lost in thought, the boss spoke up.

"Indeed, you need to stand at the pinnacle of the Three Realms to earn the right to protect Xi Xi..."

The boss said calmly.

His voice, as always, was indifferent, never as passionate as his culinary skills.

"Understood," Li Che said.

"You can’t even beat Gouzi now," the boss said calmly again.

Li Che: "..."

The big black dog glanced sideways, its dog’s mouth lifted in a sneer, revealing sharp and gleaming teeth.

Li Che could not refute this; though he could erupt with seven Divine Seed Martial Arts, combined with the Dao-guiding Dragon Elephant Furnace and Victory Over Heaven Dao Domain, capable of defeating top-level peaks like the Azure Dragon.

However, facing someone like Ji Moli, who had refined the Netherworld Fire and other Three Calamities into a half-step Divine Tribulation, it was basically difficult and he would be at a disadvantage.

Therefore, Li Che never had pride.

Because he couldn’t even beat a dog.

It’s tough.

Li Che exhaled.

Splish-splash...

The solitary boat gently floated, following the flow of the Grand Canal, its speed unconsciously increasing, the green hills on both sides appearing as fleeting glimpses.

Whoosh—

Wind gusted swiftly, relaxing Li Che’s mind like never before, as his taut nerves slowly eased after setting foot in the Divine Capital.

"Boss, it’s been a long time since I ate your cooking..."

Li Che cast a glance at the boss and said.

The boss’s lips slightly twitched, seemingly letting out a chuckle.

Then, Gouzi rose energetically, and its paw suddenly slapped towards the Grand Canal!

Boom—!!!

The water waves burst open instantly, and in the next moment, a huge fat fish the size of an ox exploded from it, its scales shimmering brightly!

Vast demon energy and qi-blood surged, it was a powerful demon beast fat fish comparable to a Top Three Flowers Grandmaster!

The fat fish roared, opening its mouth to reveal sharp teeth.

Then, it was knocked unconscious by a slap from Gouzi.

As it fell, Gouzi elegantly extended its exquisite dog claw, skillfully opening it up and gutting it...

After processing it, the boss retrieved a piece of green bamboo from who-knows-where and instantly pierced it through the processed fat fish, skewering it on a bamboo raft.

Underneath the fat fish, flames began to ignite immediately.

The bamboo raft swiftly sped along, racing across the Grand Canal.

Yet the rich aroma wafted uncontrollably, lingering in Li Che’s nostrils.

After tasting a grandmaster-level feast of demon beast fat fish, Li Che almost swallowed his tongue.

It was so delicious!

In comparison, the dishes cooked by the chefs from the Imperial Kitchen at the Flat Peach Victory Meeting felt like food for dogs!

Simple ingredients, under the boss’s simple cooking, burst with unimaginable flavor.

"Next time, bring Xi Xi to the restaurant; she hasn’t tasted my cooking for a long time either."

The boss said calmly.

Li Che and Gouzi let out a burp at the same time.

"No problem."

Li Che smiled.

"When I return to Qianyuan Dao City, I’ll have Xi Xi come for a meal."

However, the boss gave him a sidelong glance.

"The next restaurant will open in Qi Tian City. You can come and find me and Gouzi in Qi Tian City."

The boss shook his head and said calmly.

Li Che stopped picking his teeth with the fish bone, his eyes revealing a hint of surprise.

"Qi Tian City?!"

"That old man was right. You should take a trip to Qi Tian City... Not for the people of Central Earth, but for Xi Xi, you should go."

"The revival of the Qitian Temple God in Qi Tian City can, like the Third Crown Prince, leave behind a touch of God’s Intent to help Xi Xi suppress a wave of the Prison Lotus Fire curse, allowing Xi Xi to survive the Divine Embryo Tribulation without any issues."

Upon hearing the boss’s words, Li Che’s eyes brightened.

"Good!"

Li Che did not doubt the boss’s words.

Since the boss said it was possible, it definitely was. Li Che didn’t know where this trust came from.

"Alright... We’re here."

"See you in Qi Tian City, I’ll prepare a special dish for Xi Xi, waiting for her."

The boss laughed lightly.

Then, with a splash.

Li Che was sent off the bamboo raft by a strong force, standing on the rippling water surface of the Grand Canal.

At some unknown moment, the world had completely darkened.

The stars turned in the sky, a green lantern hung on the raft over the river, its dim orange light illuminating a figure in white and a big black dog.

The raft gently drifted.

Unknowingly, it drifted into the depths of darkness, leaving no trace.

Li Che withdrew his gaze and looked ahead, his heart slightly shocked.

Because, unknowingly, he realized that riding the boss’s bamboo raft, he had already returned to the vicinity of Qianyuan Dao City.

What speed!

A distance of several thousand miles, like time silently passed by, reached in less than half a day.

Li Che exhaled.

Opening a restaurant in Qi Tian City?

Though Li Che didn’t know why the boss would open a restaurant in Qi Tian City...

But since the boss said he had prepared a special dish for Xi Xi, he definitely ought to bring Xi Xi to try it.

Of course, more importantly, the revival of the Qitian Temple God can suppress the Prison Lotus Fire curse within Xi Xi, which is the most important factor.
