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

“`

“Impossible! Daddy is helping others bully Xi Xi!”

“He wants Xi Xi’s bones, Xi Xi’s flesh… Xi Xi will give them to him! Give them to him—!!!”

The screaming voice exploded, and the entire Strange Que seemed to stir with restless waves!

“Daddy would never force Xi Xi!”

“Daddy loves Xi Xi the most!”

Xi Xi, refusing to admit defeat, shouted loudly in response.

The milky voice lingered within Strange Que.

Not the slightest bit seduced by the scenes reflected by the Temple God, her heart was unwavering!

The storm raged fiercely, with Mysterious Fog rolling ceaselessly!

But then, the “Xi Xi” standing on the stairs twisted into a dazzling black flame lotus.

The lotus with its black pedestal slowly rotated.

Budding and blooming.

Afterward, a child was seated on the lotus pedestal.

The child wore a black bellyband, with two sky-reaching tufts of hair, dark circles under the eyes, and was engulfed in thick black flames.

He simply looked at Xi Xi calmly.

“You don’t believe it?”

The child asked Xi Xi.

Xi Xi tilted her chin up, shaking her head constantly.

“You believe.”

“Return bones to father, flesh to mother, and you can obtain the true legacy of Divinity…”

“You can get Divinity’s Four Imperial Divine Arms Suit, receive the Divine Cultivation Method… step into the Divine Fetus, even pass through the Divine Tribulation, and transform into a carefree Deity…”

The tempting voice echoed eerily among the Mysterious Fog.

Xi Xi immediately gnashed her teeth.

Liar!

If Xi Xi lost Daddy and Mommy, what would she need divine weapons for? What would she need cultivation for?

Xi Xi would have no home…

Then, what’s the point of cultivating!

Xi Xi didn’t want to be without a home!

“I definitely won’t!”

“Xi Xi wants Daddy, wants Mommy, wants Smelly Old Chen, wants Nurse Momo… not to give away bones and flesh!”

“Xi Xi, no!”

Xi Xi was very resolute, her eyes shining brightly!

The child seated on the black lotus was taken aback upon hearing this.

His eyes looked at Xi Xi in astonishment.

The next moment, he raised his head.

“Hahaha—”

“You say your daddy loves you…”

“Then try it—”

“If you cause trouble, will your daddy… still love you?”

“He’ll make you apologize, bow your head, kneel, endure grievances…”

“Everyone will insult you, curse you, talk about you, scold you, and then… no one will stand by your side, you’ll stand there alone.”

“Abandoned by the whole world!”

“Go on, try it…”

The child on the black lotus laughed with his belly in his hands.

Then, he leaped down from the black lotus.

The black flames burned fiercely, steadily advancing towards Xi Xi.

Xi Xi immediately became vigilant.

Her first move was Li Che’s taught White Tiger Chaotic Wind Fist.

The Third Crown Prince, burning in black flames, walked up to Xi Xi.

He extended a finger, touching it to the center of Xi Xi’s forehead.

Suddenly, the endless flames drew back.

“`

The child also disappeared.

“My daddy would never!”

“My daddy is the nicest in the whole world, nothing like your stinky daddy!”

Xi Xi, not convinced, puffed up her little belly, “Let’s try and see then!”

The child vanished.

The mysterious fog began to slowly roll and surge.

That black lotus stage, ablaze with black flames, still sat over there.

Xi Xi was stunned.

The Little Spear in her hands suddenly began to tremble violently.

Xi Xi took small, cautious steps, inching closer to the side of the black lotus stage.

She peeked over curiously.

And saw…

Within the black lotus stage.

There was actually a block of glittering gold brick.

Xi Xi’s eyes suddenly lit up with wonder.

“Wow~”

“Such a big gold brick!”

“Could buy so many, many braised pig’s trotters!”

…

…

Atop the carriage.

The breeze wafted gently.

Li Che’s eyes slowly opened, and couldn’t help flashing a look of speechlessness.

The unending argument between Xi Xi and the Third Crown Prince’s incarnation resembled little children bickering.

Only, it seemed the Third Crown Prince had not won the argument.

Xi Xi, with a stiff neck, hands on hips, and belly puffed out, simply would not relent or be deceived by the Third Crown Prince.

Li Che couldn’t help but laugh.

However, laughter aside.

Li Che’s expression turned serious.

What did the Third Crown Prince mean by let’s try…?

Li Che pondered carefully, but had no clue; he knew too little about the Strange Que…

Especially, this Strange Que at the Four Imperials Level.

It was simply beyond the current Li Che’s reach; he heard that once the Mysterious Fog erupted from a Four Royal Mysterious Temple, it would require the presence of the Divine Fetus Great God to have a chance at suppression.

Although Li Che quite enjoyed absorbing the divinity of Temple Gods, this Third Prince Temple God might not be easy to absorb.

The Third Prince Temple God that spoke with Xi Xi just now was probably just a projection.

Yet even as a mere projection, it could seemingly see through the probing of the Heaven and Earth chessboard.

Li Che naturally knew that the Temple Gods of the mysterious temples in this world are fallen deities, and their strength naturally less than when they were alive.

But it also depends on the comparison.

At least, relative to the powers of this world, even a fallen Temple God is an incredibly strong and terrifying existence.

“A test from the Temple God for Xi Xi?”

“I hope it’s not some messy trial.”

Li Che let out a breath.

Suddenly.

Li Che sensed something, looked up.

And saw, above the Nine Dragons River, the dense mysterious fog shrouded in Mysterious Que was being slowly torn apart.

The Prison Lotus Wind Fire Golden Light Wheel was spinning at high speed.

The wheel of flames turned, sparks flying!

Gradually, a grand avenue appeared.

Not only Li Che, but at this moment, everyone on the Listening Fury Cliff Stone couldn’t help but cast their gazes over.

Despite the great distance, for many strong individuals present, such distance hardly mattered.
