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

Chapter 1489: Chapter 399: Daughter Ends Childhood Phase and Obtains Immortal Seed, Safely Reaches Age 7 Dao Fruit Ten Thousand Demon Emperor

Zhang Ya was not surprised that Li Che could see through her cultivation; her husband was unfathomable and she was already accustomed to it.

She proudly lifted her smooth chin: "I have finally stepped into the Grandmaster Realm in the Martial Path!"

With the help of the [Chi Long Blood Peach] provided by Li Che, Zhang Ya successfully stepped into the Grandmaster Realm along the Martial Path as expected.

Although her talent was average, the peach’s power was undeniable.

This was just a few thousand-year-old Chi Long Blood Peaches that Li Che secretly picked from the West Queen Mother’s Peach Forest using the Flying Thunder Chess Pieces during this period.

Even though the West Queen Mother’s Peach Forest is in the distant Divine Capital, Li Che managed to reach it with several leaps using the Chess Saint Flying Star, resting only briefly midway to span the distance.

Upon nearing, he used the Flying Thunder Chess Pieces to enter the Peach Forest.

Unfortunately, eating too many peaches would diminish their effects; however, with a few thousand-year-old Chi Long Blood Peaches, Zhang Ya’s martial cultivation was directly elevated to the Grandmaster Realm.

"This nine-thousand-year-old peach..."

Li Che took out the Nine Thousand-year-old Black Phoenix Spirit Peach he had picked during the Heroic Victory Conference from the Nine Thousand-year-old Peach Forest.

"The [Nine Thousand-year-old Ginseng Fruit Peach] that Xi Xi gave you can extend your life span, so there’s no rush to eat it; wait until you’re nearing the end of your lifespan. As for this [Nine Thousand-year-old Black Phoenix Spirit Peach], now that you’ve broken through the Grandmaster Realm and your physical body’s strength is sufficient, you can consume it to swiftly elevate your Divine Cultivation to the Realm of Divine Origin..."

Li Che said.

Zhang Ya was instantly shocked, could a single peach create a Divine Element True Person?!

"Of course, it’s the divinity contained within the peach that will slowly assist you in breaking through, but you also need to cultivate yourself..."

Zhang Ya nodded continuously.

"Husband, what if this nine-thousand-year-old peach... is given to Xi Xi?"

"Xi Xi doesn’t need it, and any divinity not improved by her own means would be quite superficial and would affect her divine talent."

Li Che rubbed Zhang Ya’s head.

Li Che, benefiting from the Dao Fruit, had no fear of the superficial power brought by the peach.

Zhang Ya immediately understood and no longer declined since neither her husband nor Xi Xi needed to consume the nine-thousand-year-old peach.

Given her inferior talent, to not hold anyone back, she naturally became the optimal candidate to consume it.

After safeguarding Zhang Ya, and personally witnessing her eating up the nine-thousand-year-old peach, the divinity within her body immediately surged forth.

Li Che placed his palm on Zhang Ya’s back, slowly helping her to sort out her internal divinity until it calms down.

The next task for Zhang Ya was to refine the energy of the peach.

But this was bound to be a lengthy process. Zhang Ya, after giving a contented burp, left with a face full of joy to prepare Xi Xi’s birthday banquet.

Li Che, on the other hand, left the courtyard and headed towards Taibai Peak.

...

...

Frozen clouds fill the sky, and pristine snow congeals in the dawn.

The pitch-black night made the mountains on the horizon seem shrouded in misty clouds, with snow whirling between heaven and earth as if freezing and sealing up the hazy night sky scroll.

Wild winds howl, heavy snow flutters about, dancing in the human world, startling the roosting crows!

Outside Qianyuan Dao City, above the Grand Canal.

The river water roared, not melting amidst the heavy snow, as if growling in fury with waves rolling one after another.

Dense fog that couldn’t be dissipated lingered over the river, as the water was warm and the air was icy cold, hence the rising mist obscured the river’s surface.

Suddenly, the thick fog on the river was torn asunder.

One after another, enormous Black Mysterious Dragon Ships broke through the clouds on the Grand Canal.

River water lashed against the ships’ sides, exploding like firecrackers going off.

Hoo hoo hoo—

On the banks of the Grand Canal, amidst the dense woods.

A scout’s qi-blood surged, sitting cross-legged atop the trunk of an old tree.

Upon hearing the explosive sounds, like echoes of the canal’s roars, the scout abruptly opened his eyes.

Body shaking, he leapt down from the tree, began sprinting through the snow silently, then peered towards the Grand Canal from behind a snowdrift covered by shrubs.

Then he saw the thick fog being torn open by a long blade.

The enormous entities, breaking through the water waves.

In the stream of the Grand Canal, one after another enormous, winding dark shadows swiftly swam along with the ships.

The scout wanted to see more clearly.

Suddenly, his heart trembled.

Then he saw on that enormous ship, an old man missing a leg, looking in his direction with a smile of yellowing teeth.

Darn it!

The scout was shocked.

Top-level Peak!

Without hesitation, the scout took out a bamboo tube from his bosom, pulled the fuse.

Then.

Brilliant splendor, accompanied by the whistling sound, tore through the night sky, rushing into the clouds!

With a ’bang’, it burst open.

Turned into brilliant, dazzling fireworks.

Simultaneously bursting...

Was the scout’s blood and flesh.

...

...

"The boss and Gouzi went to Qi Tian City to open a shop... this year they’re bound to miss Xi Xi’s birthday."

Li Che sighed.

However.

When the boss met Li Che on the bamboo raft, he prepared a birthday banquet in advance for Xi Xi.

Gave a six-layered lunchbox, saying that on Xi Xi’s seventh birthday, the lunchbox would automatically present dishes celebrating Xi Xi’s birthday.

When Li Che returned home with Xi Xi from Taibai Peak, Lv Taibai, Sect Master’s Wife Xuan Qisha, and other Divine Sect members gathered around.

Xi Xi was extremely delighted, the seven-year-old little girl leaped for joy in the courtyard.

Not only because today was her birthday.

But also because, at the age of seven...

Both her father and mother had agreed to let her go on an adventure!

The smile on Xi Xi’s face never faded.

She had heard stories of the martial world from Nurse Momo, which she yearned for, feeling very curious and anticipatory.

Now, she was soon going to experience it.

Li Che laid out the tablecloth, retrieved the lunchbox given by the boss, placed it on the table, and upon opening it, found it contained dish after dish of steaming hot food, as if freshly cooked.

Li Che couldn’t help but feel surprised, but then a smile tugged at his lips.

The boss had put heart into this.

Xi Xi, smelling the aroma, immediately came over.

"Daddy, is this the birthday meal the boss prepared for Xi Xi?" Xi Xi’s eyes sparkled.

She missed the boss... and Gouzi’s cooking.

Li Che took out each dish.

When he retrieved the last dish, Li Che’s eyes suddenly tightened slightly.

His actions paused for a bit.

In the depths of his eyes, a hint of fury slowly appeared.

Not early, not late... specifically choosing the time of Xi Xi’s birthday banquet.

The timing was indeed carefully chosen and very sensitive.

Li Che had already guessed whose handiwork it was...

It was likely a tactic by Da Jing Plain Clothes National Master Xie Yushen, aiming to provoke him by disrupting Xi Xi’s birthday banquet.

Li Che’s movement only paused momentarily before his expression returned to normal.

Nonetheless, Li Che had to admit.

This Da Jing National Master succeeded in angering him.

Yes, as per the old custom, blood should not be seen on Xi Xi’s birthday.

Wait until Xi Xi’s birthday has passed.

Under the eaves, Lv Taibai and Fang Hanshu, who were drinking tea, exchanged glances and slowly stood up.

Then they saw amidst the sky, black as ink, countless falling snowflakes, a firework shot up, exploding in the air.

It was the signal flare crafted by Li Che.

The signal flare exploded as brilliantly as fireworks.

Illuminating the entire Qianyuan Dao City.

It signified...

The Da Jing Imperial Court’s punitive army had already entered the Qianyuan Dao City area.

They had come to break the mountain and destroy the sect!
