Chapter 226: Daughter's Fifth Birthday and the Dao Fruit of the Thunder Magnetic Body

Chapter 226: Daughter's Fifth Birthday and the Dao Fruit of the Thunder Magnetic Body

Snowflakes, magnified countless times, seemed to be meticulously carved by the most patient woodcarver with a chisel.

The ice crystals, spinning gracefully, drifted down from the sky.

Cold air rose from the ground, condensing the moisture in the heavens and earth, forming snow that fluttered and fell.

The falling snow accumulated on the bamboo hat, and before long, a thick layer had piled up.

Li Cheng extended his hand, and on his palm, a crystal-clear snowflake floated, held in place by his powerful mystic gale. It swirled and tumbled within, never scorched or evaporated by the scorching and boiling qi and blood.

In his eyes, it was as if he recalled the day when he returned with frozen fish in a blizzard, hearing the news of his wife's childbirth, his excitement and joy causing even the blood in his chest to surge faster.

And in the blink of an eye, five years had passed.

During these five years, so much had happened.

His family had moved from Thunder City to Golden Light Governorate City and then to Dao City.

Xixi, once a tiny, curled-up child, had grown into a lively, energetic, and incredibly strong little girl.

Even in the Eight-Armed Hell Lotus Wrathful Third Prince Strange Shrine, she had performed exceptionally well, resonating with the Divine Shrine and obtaining a large amount of divine nature, laying a solid foundation.

It was indeed not easy for an ordinary child to grow to such a level.

Although Li Cheng had obtained a Dao Fruit due to his daughter's birth.

Xixi, at the beginning, was truly just an ordinary child.

And now, Xixi had reached the level where she could participate in the disciple assessment of the Great Grandmaster of the Divine Embryo Deity level, the Sect Master of the Heavenly Origin Sect.

It was known that those who participated in this assessment were divine children from all over, from various Dao sects and noble families.

Each one had an extremely prominent background and status.

Compared to them, Xixi's background was truly insignificant.

"My Xixi... she's five years old now."

Five years old.

She had truly grown into a little girl.

Li Cheng's eyes opened and closed, and a brilliant smile appeared on his lips.

Over the past half a year, Li Cheng had quietly watched his daughter grow up safely, and his mood had become somewhat calm.

It was as if he had received a unique kind of cleansing.

As an old father, even though Li Cheng was now capable of killing Great Grandmasters with his powerful martial arts, his strength was among the top in Dao City.

But he still felt proud and delighted when his daughter learned a new move and made progress.

Li Cheng's eyes softened.

"Today is Xixi's birthday. I've already mentioned it to Elder Jiao, and he has specially granted Xixi the qualification to enter the Divine Sect to celebrate her birthday... So, we need to head home early today."

Li Cheng gently bent his fingers, and the snowflake that had been spinning in the mystic gale shot out.

On this day of heavy snowfall, his daughter was born.

It was an extremely memorable day.

It was of utmost importance to Xixi, Zhang Ya, and Li Cheng himself.

Li Cheng's fate had changed due to Xixi's birth; he had obtained his first Dao Fruit, escaped poverty, and risen from humble beginnings.

And with each peaceful year of his daughter's growth, Li Cheng obtained a Dao Fruit.

Now that Xixi was five years old, it meant that the sixth Dao Fruit was about to be born.

"Huff—"

"Suck—"

Li Cheng calmed his emotions, and with a breath, the qi stream gently stirred.

He wasn't in a hurry because what was meant to appear would eventually appear.

He closed his eyes slightly, waiting quietly.

Unperturbed and calm, his mind was like still water.

At the same time, he reviewed his cultivation progress so far.

Over the past half a year, Li Cheng's improvement had been immense.

Within the Mud Pillar, he had cultivated seven Divine Forms of the Seven Emotions Divine Foundation, in addition to the Spirit Bright True Ape, a Divine Form of the Three Purities rank.

Next, Li Cheng needed to improve his cultivation of Divine Forms and begin attempting to condense the Divine Essence Golden Core!

"I have eight Divine Forms... Should I condense eight Divine Essence Golden Cores?"

Li Cheng's gaze lowered, and he began to ponder.

"Eight Golden Cores... I wonder how long it will take to condense them successfully, given my divine nature talent."

Li Cheng muttered.

Compared to his martial arts talent, his divine nature talent was indeed slightly lacking, but... this was only Li Cheng's perception.

In reality, Li Cheng's divine nature talent was also at the divine child level, a twenty-four-year-old divine child... naturally, his reputation was well-deserved.

Perhaps in the entire Heavenly Origin Dao City, there was only this one family.

But compared to his more dazzling martial arts talent, it was slightly inferior.

The Dragon Elephant Vajra Dao Fruit had reached level 4, and the improvement it brought to his horizontal cultivation was immense.

Even the divine seed martial art that could refine true essence aura had been cultivated to the great perfection realm by Li Cheng.

The divine seed martial art, 'Blood Crocodile Heaven Splitting Palm', which Li Cheng obtained from Long Tai, was quite challenging to cultivate.

Divine seed martial arts were more difficult than Martial Saint's ultimate skills, but with the support of Dao Fruits, Li Cheng had an innate talent for understanding martial arts.

"If I can cultivate it to the master realm, I can comprehend the true essence aura in advance, even without stepping into the Heaven and Man as One realm."

Li Cheng raised his hand, and his palm instantly turned blood-red.

Vaguely, it was as if a fierce and dominant blood crocodile roared within his palm, bursting forth. In his palm, countless mystic gales intertwined with qi and blood, continuously gathering, as if a furnace was compressed into his palm.

It was as if a blood-red seed, wrapped in countless blood vessels, was pulsating in his palm.

"The divine seed... condenses essence, energy, and spirit into a martial art, transforming it into a power similar to a divine ability seed, and this is a divine seed martial art."

"It is positioned higher than a Martial Saint's ultimate skill and is a method above the Martial Saint level."

"It's more challenging and stimulating, and it requires connecting the condensed divine seed to the complex acupoint nodes of the human body to achieve a more intense stimulation of the body's functions and unleash more powerful forces."

Li Cheng exhaled.

According to the description of the divine seed martial art, 'Blood Crocodile Heaven Splitting Palm', to cultivate it to the master realm, one must not only master the techniques but also send this condensed 'divine seed' to the acupoint nodes of the human body."

It needs to take root in the human body's nodes and eventually bloom and flourish!

"According to the divine seed theory, planting each divine seed can stimulate the human body's potential, and the human body has eight acupoint nodes, like eight doorways..."

"Planting a divine seed in each acupoint node doorway represents the excavation and release of the human body's potential!"

Li Cheng sat cross-legged on the ground, his eyes opening and closing, and a mighty qi stream surged and swept around him.

The air seemed to be lashed by a powerful whip, emitting a piercing sound that tore through the sky.

"

"

"The human body's Eight Extraordinary Gates are actually eight Qi gates, where True Essence Aura condenses and forms..."

Li Cheng stood up, and with a mighty palm strike, an immense amount of Qi and blood gathered in his palm, resembling a terrifying blood crocodile tearing through heaven and earth!

In an instant, the Qi streams in the entire courtyard seemed to shatter into pieces!

"What if all eight Extraordinary Gates were implanted with Divine Seeds... What then?"

"Could it face a Martial Saint?"

Li Cheng's eyes sparkled as he felt the faint presence of a Divine Seed within his palm.

Although it had not yet fully condensed, it already possessed an incredibly formidable power.

If eight Divine Seeds were implanted into the eight Extraordinary Gates of the human body, unleashing its full potential...

How powerful would that be?!

"But... Acquiring the Martial Arts of the Divine Seeds is not an easy task."

Li Cheng exhaled.

Even in the collection of Mo Tong, a private disciple of the Corpse God Sect, there were no Martial Arts of the Divine Seeds.

T

S

In fact, for a Divine Essence Great Grandmaster, forcefully cultivating the Martial Arts of the Divine Seeds is not a wise decision.

Aside from the difficulty of the Martial Arts of the Divine Seeds, even implanting the Divine Seeds into the Eight Extraordinary Gates is an extremely dangerous task.

It can only be said that the Great Grandmasters who successfully cultivate the Martial Arts of the Divine Seeds will have stronger combat power and unlock their potential to a greater extent.

"The Martial Arts of the Divine Seeds... My Ten Thousand Transformations Dragon Elephant has already reached the level of a Martial Saint's ultimate technique. Can it become a Martial Art of the Divine Seeds?"

Transforming a Martial Saint's ultimate technique into a Martial Art of the Divine Seeds...

Li Cheng didn't know how to proceed; he lacked experience.

His current priority was to cultivate the Blood Crocodile Heaven Splitting Palm to the Master level and then attempt to guide the first Divine Seed into the Eight Extraordinary Gates.

Only by successfully cultivating the Martial Arts of the Divine Seeds would he have the qualifications and ability to modify and create a corresponding Martial Art of the Divine Seeds.

"The path of cultivation is long and arduous..."

Even with the assistance of the Dragon Elephant Vajra Dao Fruit, the cultivation of the Martial Arts of the Divine Seeds still brought Li Cheng considerable trouble.

Meanwhile, on another front, the cultivation of the Divine Nature had entered the accumulation phase.

A substantial amount of Divine Nature Crystals were needed for accumulation and growth. Only after accumulating sufficient Divine Nature could he attempt to condense and form the Divine Essence Golden Core.

"The Spirit Bright True Ape of the Three Purities Rank is truly a colossal creature, a gold-devouring beast... It only consumes Five Elders Rank Divine Nature Crystals, and I wonder how many of those are needed to satisfy it."

Li Cheng couldn't help but feel a mix of laughter and tears.

The Spirit Bright True Ape shared the same temperament as the Impureless Heart Dao Fruit; it was good at learning bad habits but not the good ones...

As for the other Divine Shrine Forms...

It seemed they were following in the footsteps of the Spirit Bright True Ape. Aside from the Fiery Eye Small Monkey, although they were all summoned from the Seven Elements Strange Shrine, they only consumed Sixth Division Divine Nature Crystals!

Li Cheng was dumbfounded.

According to the standard of a Divine Shrine Form, which required a minimum of ten Sixth Division Divine Nature Crystals, he, Li Cheng, would need to prepare at least seventy of them!

Since the other Divine Shrine Forms consumed Sixth Division Divine Nature Crystals, even though the Fiery Eye Small Monkey was a Divine Shrine Form of the Eight Extremes Shrine, he couldn't neglect it and not provide it with Sixth Division Divine Nature Crystals, right?

"The task is heavy, and the path is long."

Li Cheng sighed.

Initially, Li Cheng had felt quite wealthy, but now, after calculating, he realized he was too poor!

Not to mention the cost of the Spirit Wood required for crafting Mechanical Beasts, which consumed a significant amount of Divine Nature Crystals, just feeding these Divine Shrines was enough to deplete Li Cheng's current resources.

Fortunately...

There were always kind-hearted people in this world willing to be his sponsor.

Boom!

Just as Li Cheng was immersed in his longing for resources.

Li Cheng felt as if heaven and earth suddenly became solemn.

Amidst the solemnity, an unparalleled silence enveloped everything!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Within his chest, the five Dao Fruits trembled one after another, strong and vigorous, as if invisible currents of electricity were rapidly intertwining and surging...

At this moment, Li Cheng's entire body seemed to turn soft and weak.

The five Dao Fruits—Immortal Artisanry, Dragon Elephant Vajra, Impureless Heart, Chess Sage, and Immortal in the Painting—trembled violently!

They burst forth with wave after wave of invisible Qi streams, shattering the courtyard's tranquility!

It was as if they were welcoming the arrival of a new companion!

Here it comes!

Li Cheng abruptly raised his head, his black and robust hair dancing wildly in the gale.

Before his eyes, the scene shifted, and a vast and ancient land appeared.

Countless ancient and profound Qi streams intertwined and collided!

...

Boom!

It was as if the sky itself had suddenly caved in at that moment.

Li Cheng's mind was abruptly pulled, and he instantly found himself in the space of the vast land.

Boundless and infinite, the vast heavens and earth seemed to have a deity standing tall and spanning the entire realm.

A towering treasure tree rose from the ground, reaching into the sky. Its rainbow-colored leaves rustled and shook, suddenly spreading out to cover and envelop the entire heavens and earth!

Rainbow-colored fruits, accompanied by flowing light, hung from the branches, bending them under their weight and causing them to droop and fall.

Li Cheng's ink-colored robe fluttered in the wind, his black hair flying, as he hovered before this towering tree.

He felt minuscule, like an ant, gazing up at the endlessly towering treasure tree.

Li Cheng's eyes shone with an endless flow of light, and he exhaled a breath of turbid air.

He looked around, his curiosity about this vast land always lingering in his heart.

Where was this land, and where did this Dao Tree grow?

During the transformation of the Chess Sage Dao Fruit, he had witnessed someone placing a chess piece in the heavens...

Did this mean that this heaven and earth truly existed?!

However, Li Cheng didn't dwell on these thoughts.

Because at this moment, he was still too insignificant, lacking even the qualifications to touch upon many mysteries.

Perhaps in his eyes, the things he considered powerful were even more formidable than he imagined, just as a frog in a well gazed at the sky. Only when he truly reached a certain realm would he understand... that he was not a frog in a well but a mayfly.

A colorful fruit, like a rainbow, descended from the treetop!

The sixth Dao Fruit!

Li Cheng's eyes gleamed, and his entire body emitted a crystal-like radiance.

Before him, the Dao Fruit's colorful glow illuminated the scene, as if presenting a review of everything Xixi had experienced this year.

It showed Xixi's encounter during the Divine Shrine Resonance and her arduous training in the Dao City after her arrival.

Indeed, after joining the Divine Sect Orthodoxy, Xixi's cultivation was not a mere formality. She diligently completed the cultivation tasks assigned by Jiao Shaoqiu, believing that becoming stronger would allow her to take on missions sooner and leave the Divine Sect's headquarters.

Xixi's unwavering determination and hard work moved Li Cheng.

Although Xixi guessed that her father and mother had come to see her late at night, she never caught them.

Li Cheng's ink-colored robe fluttered in the wind, his eyes sparkling, and a Dao Fruit hovered in the air.

Every birthday of Xixi's was like a blind box opening for him.

In fact, Li Cheng was also a little worried. With so many Dao Fruits, he couldn't ensure that each one would bring progress.

But gradually, Li Cheng came to a realization.

Letting nature take its course was fine. With time, the maturity of the Dao Fruits would gradually increase.

After all, his ultimate goal was to quietly watch his daughter achieve longevity.

As long as his daughter lived safely, the Dao Fruits would not diminish.

And now...

Li Cheng had already glimpsed a corner of this world...

Longevity was extremely difficult to attain.

Even the founder of the Heavenly Origin Sect, one of the first to come into contact with the Strange Shrine, and a Martial Saint who had broken through the Divine Tribulation, could not achieve longevity.

Could Xixi achieve longevity?

Could he, Li Cheng, achieve longevity?

Difficult!

If longevity was not attainable...

If Xixi died, the Dao Fruits would cease to exist.

Li Cheng couldn't even guarantee that if Xixi died, the Dao Fruits he had obtained would also wither and decay.

Everything was unknown...

The future seemed shrouded by a thick fog.

His five fingers clenched into a fist.

The Dao Fruit seemed to fall into his palm, and he held it up.

After a year of safeguarding, the fruit was finally ripe!

Xixi turned five!

The sixth Dao Fruit!

It has ripened!

...

[Your daughter is five years old. She braves the thorns and hardships, endures separation, grows up strong and sensible, and safely obtains the Dao Fruit "Thunder Magnetic Body."]



...

A golden thunderbolt surged with electricity, converging and intertwining to form a line of golden text.

The sixth Dao Fruit!

Finally, it appeared!

The blind box opened, revealing a fruit that surprised Li Cheng.

Thunder Magnetic Body?!

This Dao Fruit... is a special physique?!

Obtaining this Dao Fruit would alter his physique, turning him into a man who controls thunder?!

Li Cheng was filled with doubts.

Sizzle—

The Dao Fruit burst with arcs of thunder, like countless divine thunders from the Nine Heavens coalescing into a fruit, imbued with terrifying heat and destructive power!

Thunder Magnetic...

Li Cheng pondered but found no clues.

However, he knew that this Dao Fruit...

was likely a combat-type.

Li Cheng categorized the Dao Fruits he had obtained so far based on their functions.

The Dao Fruits of [Immortal Artisanry], [Chess Sage], [Impureless Heart], and [Immortal in the Painting] were all auxiliary or semi-combat types.

[Dragon Elephant Vajra] was a combat-type Dao Fruit. Activating the Dragon Elephant Vajra Transformation allowed him to fully unlock the potential of the Eight Extraordinary Gates, as if planting a divine seed within them. With a thought, thunder surged!

[Thunder Magnetic Body (Dao Fruit): Nine Heavens Divine Thunder, Forging the Body, Mystic Magnetism Within, Heaven and Earth Overturned]



It's here!

An introduction to the Dao Fruit!

The introduction to the new Dao Fruit, Thunder Magnetic Body, appeared before him with a domineering surge.

"Nine Heavens Divine Thunder, Forging the Body!"

Li Cheng took a deep breath, feeling the sheer dominance of it.

The power of the Divine Thunder was extremely terrifying. According to ancient records, the most famous of the three calamities and nine tribulations faced by Divine Tribulation experts was the Divine Thunder Tribulation.

Didn't this mean that after forging the Thunder Magnetic Body, one could directly immune themselves to the Divine Thunder Tribulation?

Even if it didn't provide complete immunity, it would still reduce many threats and troubles.

"Not only thunder but also magnetism..."

"A man who plays with magnetic fields?"

Li Cheng couldn't help but smile.

"But how do I forge this Thunder Magnetic Body?"

"Do I need to be struck by thunder?"

Li Cheng muttered to himself.

"Let's try it."

Opening his eyes, Li Cheng shot up from the courtyard, his powerful Qi and blood erupting.

[Dao Fruit (Thunder Magnetic Body): LV1, 0%]



In his chest, the Dao Fruit pulsated, as if a vast current was rapidly surging through his muscles and spreading to his limbs and bones.

Standing in the center of the courtyard, Li Cheng closed his eyes.

In his mind, information about the Thunder Magnetic Body kept emerging.

Snowflakes as large as hands fell from the sky, blanketing the air.

They landed on Li Cheng's head and shoulders.

With each breath, the snowstorm raged.

After about twenty breaths, Li Cheng finally finished his research.

Suddenly, he opened his eyes.

His pupils burst with a dazzling azure, and fine arcs of electricity intertwined within his irises!

He extended his hand, and his five fingers suddenly spread wide!

With a thought, an invisible field seemed to form around him, spreading wildly in all directions!

It solidified and froze!

Li Cheng's mind moved again.

Instantly, his feet left the ground, and he soared into the air.

It was as if he had isolated himself from the Earth's magnetic field and was floating freely.

He didn't use his Qi and blood or manipulate his divine nature...

Instead, he achieved free flight solely through the manipulation of the Thunder Magnetic Dao Fruit.

"Combined with the Martial Saint's ultimate skill, Floating Void Eight Auspicious Steps..."

"I've become the sky's brightest star."

Li Cheng smiled.

He took a step, and his Qi and blood erupted. With the Floating Void Eight Auspicious Steps, he seemed to tear through the void, leaving seven afterimages that scattered across the sky.

He continuously shifted positions, creating seven gradually fading shadows.

Hovering in the air, he seemed to merge with the heavens and the earth.

"Is this considered an alternative form of the unity of heaven and man?"

Li Cheng's eyes opened, and a faint electric current flickered in his pupils.

"Thunder Magnetic Power..."

"It's only at LV1 now, a tender and newly formed Dao Fruit, yet to undergo the baptism of maturity..."

"According to the feedback from the Dao Fruit, if I were to experience the baptism of the Nine Heavens' Thunder, I could forge a Thunder Magnetic Body and even capture the divine thunder to create a Thunder Magnetic clone!"

"As long as there's a magnetic field between heaven and earth, I can connect and manipulate it, even from a hundred li, a thousand li, or ten thousand li away!"

"This is way better than the Immortal in the Painting's clone."

Li Cheng's eyes brightened slightly.

"Thunder Magnetic, dividing thunder and magnetism... both are offensive powers."

"I can develop them slowly!"

"Currently, the Mystic Magnetic Field Domain I can condense is probably within a ten-zhang range around my body. This is because the Thunder Magnetic Dao Fruit is still too tender."

Li Cheng landed gracefully on the ground, and a force of magnetism surged through his blood, cleansing his physical body.

As for the offensive capabilities of Thunder Magnetic...

One try would reveal the truth.

He flicked his finger.

A black chess piece shot out.

Soon, it began to expand in the air.

It transformed into a white-masked Bai Wuchang, Xue Dufu! Xue Dufu grew against the storm, and after landing, he wiped his waist, causing the wooden sword to instantly transform into a crescent blade!

"Come, my lord! Let me feel your dominance and strength!"

Xue Dufu fiercely swept the crescent blade, unleashing a ferocious gale of True Essence Aura!

Li Cheng silently watched as Xue Dufu's appearance in the painting gradually became less serious, feeling that this fellow had consumed too much Binding Spirit, causing his mind to become increasingly abnormal.

"Waaahhhh—"

Xue Dufu let out a long howl.

His foot landed, and the entire courtyard shook violently. Countless snowflakes hung upside down in the sky, only to be blasted into powder by the powerful True Essence Aura! The crescent blade danced wildly, unmatched in its dominance!

Li Cheng's toes touched the ground.

His eyes shone brightly.

He raised his five fingers, and in the next moment, he fiercely slapped the ground.

"Ten times gravity."

Boom!

Xue Dufu's eyes beneath the white-masked Bai Wuchang mask changed abruptly, feeling the shift in gravity around his body, causing him to suddenly feel unaccustomed to it!

His speed slowed down, and the arc of the crescent blade he was swinging began to collapse! However, Xue Dufu was now a Great Grandmaster with thirty-six Divine Aura circles!

His adaptability was beyond imagination; it only took half a breath for him to stabilize, and the long sword in his hand slashed out again!

Li Cheng's body flew through the air, carefree and suspended.

He extended a finger and pointed downward again.

"Hundred times."

Bang!

The air within a ten-chi range around Xue Dufu seemed to be forcefully pressed down to the ground, causing the courtyard's surface to almost completely sink in.

If it weren't for Li Cheng's Heaven and Earth Chessboard shielding, the ground might have shattered and exploded! Li Cheng simply didn't want to destroy the courtyard; otherwise, he would have to repair it later.

Xue Dufu's face beneath the white-masked Bai Wuchang mask was completely distorted, his muscles tightening and swelling like steel wires!

The large tendons trembled, resembling a furious dragon roaring!

An unusual color flashed in Li Cheng's eyes.

A hundred times magnetic field control!

This was already the limit of what the newly formed Dao Fruit could achieve...

"There's great potential..."

"Combining it with Immortal Artisanry, perhaps... even superconducting magnetic cannons can be created with bare hands." Li Cheng smiled.

The next moment, he clapped his hands together with a loud 'pa' sound.

Xue Dufu felt the air around him press down with an unmatched force, squeezing him tightly.

"My lord... be gentle!"

Bang!

Li Cheng released his hands, flicked his finger, and the magnetic field suddenly expanded and spread...

Xue Dufu felt that he couldn't even touch Li Cheng's clothes, as if he were a toy, being arranged in various poses and played with at will by his lord!

Unstoppable...

Completely unstoppable!

"My lord—I'm done for!"

Bang!

Xue Dufu instantly exploded into black mist, transforming into Binding Spirit, which Li Cheng pinched between his fingertips.

"Not bad..."

Li Cheng floated in the air, his robe fluttering, standing in midair without using his Divine Nature or Qi and Blood.

With a thought, he controlled the magnetic field and placed it on his shoulder.

Li Cheng gracefully landed on the ground.

The ground seemed to sink slightly.

In this way, he tempered his physique with Thunder Magnetic power.

"Now, I just need to be struck by the Nine Heavens' Thunder to capture it..."

Li Cheng, surrounded by the magnetic field on his body, stretched lazily, and his bones instantly crackled with a loud rumble!

Feeling great, Li Cheng had the Immortal in the Painting's clones, each with a Divine Nature Crystal, diligently cultivating their Divine Nature.

Meanwhile, Li Cheng left the courtyard in Thunder Listening Alley.

"It's time to celebrate Xixi's birthday."

Jiao Shaoqiu didn't allow Xixi to leave the Divine Sect Orthodoxy, but he managed to obtain permission for them to enter the Divine Sect Orthodoxy to celebrate Xixi's birthday.

Locking the door, he stepped on the thick layer of snow in the alley and walked towards its depths.

In front of the restaurant, the atmosphere was cold and quiet.

The big black dog lay on the ground.

Upon seeing Li Cheng arriving alone, it disdainfully stuck out its tongue and lay back down.

The boss sat under the eaves, quietly enjoying the falling snow.

When he saw Li Cheng arriving alone, he couldn't even be bothered to look at him.

"Sir, we're closed."

The boss said lazily.

Li Cheng's face darkened. When he came with Xixi, the boss warmly called him Old Li.

Without Xixi, had he become so distant as to be treated as just a customer?

It was truly...

This man and dog were too realistic! Li Cheng rolled his eyes; today was Xixi's birthday, so he wouldn't bother arguing with them.

"Boss and Blackie, today is Xixi's birthday. I came especially to invite you to celebrate her birthday inside the Divine Sect."

"Are you interested?"

Li Cheng asked with a gentle smile.

The black dog stood up abruptly, shaking off the snow on its body. It was full of energy, its tongue lolling, and hot breath steaming.

The boss brushed off the ash, and his eyes flickered slightly.

"Oh?"

"To the Divine Sect's Gate?"
