Chapter 227: The Familiar Combination of the White-Clad Man and His Dog, and the Understanding Xixi

Chapter 227: The Familiar Combination of the White-Clad Man and His Dog, and the Understanding Xixi Touches Hearts

In the crystal-clear world, the night was as pure as ice and snow.

The dim yellow light from the restaurant shone through, illuminating the white snow, making it seem as if it were coated with a layer of fried breadcrumbs.

"Are you going to celebrate Xixi's birthday?"

The boss held a cigarette in his mouth, his eyes lighting up. He stood up and clapped his hands.

"No problem, it's still early. I'll go and cook a few dishes."

The boss's tone became cheerful, filled with enthusiasm.

The big black dog had already stood up and was prancing in place, its eyes on Li Cheng carrying a hint of appreciation and approval.

Li Cheng laughed and sat in the boss's original seat.

The black dog paced back and forth in the snow, and snowflakes drifted down from the narrow sky above the alley.

The dog was very happy, perhaps because it was about to see Xixi, which made it cheerful.

Li Cheng held a cigarette between his fingers, squinting as he sat in the chair, gently exhaling smoke.

"So comfortable..."

"I wish I could live a leisurely life like this right now."

"Smoking, sunbathing, admiring the snow, and quietly watching my daughter grow up..."

"It would be so wonderful."

"Unfortunately... I'm walking on thin ice in this life and can't afford to stop."

Li Cheng sighed softly.

Opening a restaurant, raising a dog, listening to the wind, watching the snow, and admiring the floating clouds.

Such a life would be incredibly fulfilling.

After waiting for a while, the boss called out to Li Cheng.

Li Cheng lifted the curtain and entered, and the crisp sound of the doorbell rang out.

"Wow, such a feast!"

Li Cheng took a deep breath, feeling as if his nasal cavity was filled with endless aromas.

"Braised pork, braised pig's feet, stir-fried vegetables, sweet and sour fish..."

"All of Xixi's favorites."

Li Cheng smiled, his eyes softening.

"Xixi is the birthday girl today, so of course, we're making her favorite dishes. Why would we make something you like, like plain noodle soup?"

The boss said indifferently while wiping his hands with a clean towel.

Li Cheng's face immediately turned pale.

Boss, do you have a misunderstanding about Li Cheng's taste?

Does he really like plain noodle soup?

It's just that you only want to eat plain noodle soup!

Or even the kind without an egg!

Li Cheng brushed past him, collecting all the dishes into the Qiankun space.

Li Cheng and the boss left the restaurant side by side, one in white like snow and the other in a dark, ink-stained shirt.

Snow-covered flowers adorned their waists, and ice pearls hung from the green branches.

The big black dog followed behind them, heading towards the inner city.

Large snowflakes fell, covering the entire Qian Yuan Dao City in a silver blanket. On the spacious streets, there were few pedestrians, and the atmosphere was quiet and cold.

Li Cheng, the boss, and the big black dog returned to the courtyard in Liuxiang Alley.

Outside the courtyard, two horse-drawn carriages were parked and waiting.

The falling snow covered the carriage roofs, and ordinary horses snorted hot air in the cold wind.

As soon as the big black dog appeared, the two horses' legs began to tremble, but they soon calmed down.

It seemed that the black dog had restrained its aura.

Li Cheng had noticed this long ago, and he knew that the black dog and the boss were both mysterious and extraordinary.

However, Li Cheng also sensed that they genuinely cared for and loved Xixi. Although the boss appeared indifferent, when cooking for Xixi, he exuded warmth.

As for the dog, it was even more affectionate. Li Cheng had never even patted its head...

But in front of Xixi, the dog was covered in dirt from head to toe.

"This is..."

Zhang Ya, Old Chen, Mu Po, and Shangguan Qinghong were all waiting in the courtyard.

Zhang Ya looked at the boss and the big black dog with confusion.

Li Cheng briefly introduced them.

Zhang Ya immediately smiled, as anyone who loved Xixi was a friend of hers.

"Let's go. Elder Jiao has only given us this one night," Li Cheng said gently.

The great-uncle, great-aunt, and Li Zhengran, along with his wife, Liu Chunming, had been waiting for a long time.

They hadn't seen Li Chengzhou for a while and missed him dearly.

They also planned to visit Li Chengzhou tonight, especially Liu Chunming, who anxiously waited, wondering if her son was eating and dressing well at the Divine Sect's mountain gate.

Was he tired from practicing swordsmanship with the grandmaster?

A mother's worries for her child were endless.

The group boarded the carriage, and the wheels rolled, tearing through the wind and snow, carrying the crowd and the black dog towards the Divine Sect's mountain gate.

At the mountain gate, a grand Qiankun plaque hung.

Grandmaster Nie Yang held Xixi's hand, and beside him was Li Chengzhou, holding a sword and standing in a horse-riding stance.

Li Chengzhou's small eyes shone with determination.

He wanted to be like his teacher, a super powerful grandmaster swordsman!

Xixi eagerly looked forward, her big, watery eyes blinking rapidly, and she even jumped up and down in place.

Nie Yang's expression remained unmoved as he held Xixi's hand.

When the two carriages tore through the wind and snow and arrived.

Xixi immediately screamed, "They're here!"

"Uncle Nie Yang, I want to see!"

Xixi finished speaking and broke free from Nie Yang's hand. Her qi and blood surged, and her small feet stomped on the ground amidst the wind and snow.

Instantly, she shot forward like a cannonball!

Buzzing—!!!

Sparks danced beneath her feet, and amidst the raging fire, the wind and snow were torn apart.

The Blood Lotus Wind Fire Golden Wheel burst forth from Xixi's feet, dragging her body as it wobbled towards the carriage!

Clearly, she had just mastered the Wind Fire Golden Wheel but was not yet proficient.

But she wanted to show her father and mother the results of her year of cultivation at the Divine Sect!

"Father—!!!

"Mother—!!!"

The carriage curtain was lifted, and Zhang Ya, with an excited face, watched Xixi rush over.

Xixi stepped on the Golden Wheel, which spun rapidly, and as she landed on the carriage, the Blood Lotus Wind Fire Golden Wheel retracted into her palm.

"Mother!"

Xixi rushed into Zhang Ya's embrace, and tears immediately streamed down her face.

Pouting, hot tears slid from the corners of her eyes.

She hugged Zhang Ya tightly, rubbing her head against her, unwilling to let go.

Zhang Ya's eyes also turned red, gently caressing her daughter's head, her heart aching.

Li Cheng looked at the mother and daughter with a gentle gaze, and his emotions couldn't help but stir.

Xixi hugged Zhang Ya for a while before wriggling free and entering the carriage. She then climbed into Li Cheng's embrace and wrapped her arms around his neck.

"Wuwuwu... Daddy!"

"Xixi missed you guys!" Xixi said with a hint of grievance.

Li Cheng gently patted his daughter's back, feeling a surge of tenderness as if his heart had been struck.

"Daddy will be with you in the Divine Sect Orthodoxy soon, and from now on, you'll be able to see your parents every day, okay?"

"Okay!"

"Pinky promise!" Xixi lifted her head and playfully extended her little finger.

Li Cheng rubbed Xixi's head and solemnly made a pinky promise with her.

Xixi then wiped away her tears with her sleeve.

Suddenly, Xixi's eyes lit up.

"Doggy!"

Xixi immediately spotted the big black dog lying in the carriage.

She jumped down from Li Cheng's lap and hugged the dog, wrapping her arms around its neck in the same way she had hugged Li Cheng's neck.

Li Cheng's heart, which had been filled with tenderness, suddenly hardened.

"And Boss! It looks like Xixi will have something delicious for her birthday today!"

Xixi smiled brightly and happily.

Li Cheng shook his head and stepped out of the carriage, braving the wind and snow to join Nie Yang.

He patted Li Chengzhou's head. "Your parents are in the carriage behind. Go."

Li Chengzhou had been holding back, but he still glanced at Nie Yang.

"Master, can I go?"

A gentle look appeared in Nie Yang's eyes, and he nodded slightly.

Li Chengzhou immediately ran towards the other carriage with joy.

Aunt Mu and Liu Chunming had already squeezed onto the carriage's shaft, eagerly awaiting their arrival.

"Thank you, Master Nie," Li Cheng said with a gentle smile.

Nie Yang waved his hand dismissively. "Let's go. We're entering the mountain."

The two sat on the carriage shaft as Old Chen whipped the reins. Since they had informed the mountain guards in advance, they were not stopped.

Inside the carriage, Xixi played with the dog, laughing happily.

On the other side...

Boss sat quietly, calmly watching Xixi and the big black dog play, his eyes filled with gentleness.

Just as the carriage passed under the Heavenly Origin Dao City plaque...

Boom!

The snow-covered plaque suddenly began to vibrate, and a powerful Dao essence seemed about to burst forth from it.

Inside the carriage, Boss glanced at the plaque.

In an instant, the plaque calmed down.

It was incredibly obedient.

This slight anomaly went unnoticed by anyone, even the powerful individuals within the Divine Sect Orthodoxy.

The carriage galloped through the mountain path, slowly passing through the winding roads and crossing one strange temple after another.

Nie Yang sat on the carriage shaft, holding a bronze iron sword with its hilt wrapped in rags, his eyebrows slightly furrowed.

He had specifically come to guide Li Cheng and the others to prevent any hostility or release of wicked pagodas and wicked mist from the strange temples towards strangers during their journey.

One reason the Divine Sect Gate did not allow outsiders to enter or reside for long periods was that anyone who was not a disciple of the Heavenly Origin Sect would be considered a stranger within the sect. Without the sect's unique aura or the presence of disciples or elders, they would be seen as invaders by the strange temples.

As a result, they would be eroded by the wicked pagodas, targeted by the temple gods, and turned into cursed corpses to protect the temples.

"Today's strange temples..."

"Are eerily quiet."

Nie Yang's eyebrows furrowed, then slowly relaxed.

It was best to remain quiet, sparing him the trouble of taking action.

As the two carriages entered the inner city of the Divine Sect Gate, they quickly arrived at Elder Jiao Shaoqiu's spacious courtyard.

Inside the courtyard, many children who had been waiting came running out.

Gong Yuanliang, Gongyang Xiu, Tie Shan Cai, and other children rushed out.

Li Cheng glanced at them, only seeing their yellow hair flailing in the wind and snow.

Suddenly, Li Cheng's mind stirred slightly.

The Heaven and Earth Chessboard emerged from between his eyebrows, instantly enveloping the entire Outer Disciple City.

In an instant, he captured two familiar auras.

On a long street in the disciple city, amidst the gently falling snow, there was a quiet carriage.

Inside the carriage were Su Chuyang and the powerful elder from the Su family, who had reached the Embryo Breath Transformation realm.

Su Chuyang seemed reluctant.

The elderly man in the ancient-style long robe calmly stroked his beard. "What are you resisting?"

"I don't like her... Elder, I don't want to go."

Su Chuyang shook his head.

As someone who had entered the Dragon Chart, even though he was only ranked third, Su Chuyang had his own pride.

He had been pushed down by Li Nuoxi, and he was very dissatisfied. All he wanted to do now was to cultivate diligently, surpass Li Nuoxi, and reclaim everything he had lost!

At this moment, the elder was asking him to make amends with Li Nuoxi, give her gifts, and even try to develop feelings for her!

Su Chuyang refused! What was good about women! Women would only affect his Dao heart!

He, Su Chuyang, was going to be the sect lord's personal disciple! He didn't want to be bound by emotions so early!

"You... idiot."

The elder frowned and scolded him while stroking his beard.

"Our Su family has always advocated for unions with high-quality bloodlines. The fact that Li Nuoxi was evaluated by the Dragon Chart is enough for her to be your match... She's good enough to be your first woman!"

"You don't need to use your emotions either. Just marry her, and if you like someone else later, you can marry them too... What's wrong with your brother?"

"Now his family is pouring all their resources into his cultivation, and he has already entered the True Transmission Chart..."

The elder spoke indifferently.

But Su Chuyang was stubborn.

"Elder... I will defeat her fairly and squarely and return to the third place in the Dragon Chart! Then I'll prove that she's not worthy of me, and besides, I don't like her!"

Su Chuyang clenched his fists, his fighting spirit surging.

"If she loses to me, it means she's not qualified to be my woman!"

The elder leaned back against the soft carriage cushion, exhausted.

This child was beyond help.

He let out a gentle sigh.

"Useless."

"If I tell you to go, you go!"

Su Chuyang clenched his fists, feeling helpless. At the age of nine, he had to submit to the family's authority.

In the end, Su Chuyang took the gifts and bowed to the power.

At such a young age, he had already witnessed the darkness of power.

...

...

Li Cheng withdrew his thoughts, and a strange expression appeared in his eyes.

With the perception of his Heaven and Earth Chessboard, he had heard every word of the conversation between Su Chuyang and the Su family elder.

The identity of this Su Family Elder in the Divine Sect was already known to Li Cheng.

He was Su Helian, the honorary elder of the Su Family within the Divine Sect, a position that was merely symbolic.

In terms of cultivation, he had just broken through the Embryo Breath Transformation not long ago.

The other three major families, the Zhou Family, the Yun Family, and the Zhong Family, also had honorary elders within the Divine Sect.

The Heavenly Origin Sect had been developing in Dao City for many years, and the various great aristocratic families had long intertwined their connections with the Divine Sect.

Of course, this was limited to the outer sect.

The inner sect was the true core of the Heavenly Origin Sect, and members of the aristocratic families were unable to infiltrate it.

However, outstanding disciples from the aristocratic families could pay respects to the inner sect elders and receive guidance in their cultivation, nothing more.

The True Transmission Spectrum included many aristocratic disciples.

"Su Family Elder Su Helian... He has his eyes set on Xixi's talent and bloodline."

Li Cheng's eyes turned cold.

If it were anyone else, unaware of the Su Family's ill intentions, upon seeing that the first aristocratic family of Heavenly Origin Dao City, the Su Family, had sent someone to deliver gifts and congratulate his daughter's birthday, they would likely develop a great fondness for the Su Family.

"And this child, Su Chuyang..."

"His temperament is not bad."

However, Li Cheng had no fondness for him either.

He doesn't like Xixi, so why should my Xixi like him?

My Xixi doesn't deserve to be the woman of a scoundrel like you...

How dare you!

As a father, how could he endure such anger?

Wanting to send gifts?

Not even in his dreams.

Li Cheng flicked his finger.

Mystic Magnetic Field Domain!

Boom—!!!

In an instant, the Mystic Magnetic Field Domain, through the lock of the Heaven and Earth Chessboard, enveloped Su Chuyang entirely.

Su Chuyang was holding the gift that Su Helian had forced into his hands and was walking forward.

Suddenly, it was as if he had collided with an invisible wall of air, unable to move forward even a fraction.

"Hmm?"

Su Chuyang was instantly puzzled.

He reached out, but there was nothing in front of him.

There was no divinity, nor any martial will...

There was nothing, yet it felt so solid.

Su Chuyang tried to move forward again, but he was still blocked.

He was shocked!

He attempted to go around, but he discovered that an invisible wall was surrounding him!

Su Chuyang was determined, and his powerful divinity erupted as he slammed into the air wall.

However, his divinity smoothly passed through.

Su Chuyang was stunned. He furrowed his brows, took a step, and started charging wildly, determined to break through in one go.

Boom—!!!

The dull sound of a heavy hammer striking an ancient bell rang out, like a muffled thunderclap that wouldn't stop.

Su Chuyang was hit by a massive repulsive force and flew out, landing on his butt in the snow, the gifts scattered all over the ground. He felt dizzy and disoriented, as if he could see countless gods and Buddhas chanting sutras to deliver him.

"Su Chuyang!"

In the carriage, Su Helian witnessed this scene and became furious.

Su Chuyang was extremely aggrieved.

"Elder... I touched something dirty. Do you believe me?"

Su Helian shook his head disappointedly, "If you don't like it, then forget it. The Su Family has someone more suitable than you. By marrying a woman, you can obtain the family's resources. If you don't want it, there are plenty of others who do."

"You should focus on competing for cultivation resources within the Divine Sect."

After saying this, the carriage started moving. The dragon horse pulled the carriage, shattering the wind and rain.

Su Chuyang stood up from the snow, brushing off the snow on his body.

"Elder, I, Su Chuyang... can become a Divine Embryo Great Deity without relying on a woman!"

...

...

Li Cheng didn't pay any more attention to Su Chuyang. This child had become a bit arrogant and foul-mouthed.

But his crime didn't warrant death.

As for this Su Family Elder...

Marrying a woman, absorbing the talent from her bloodline, and turning a good divine child into a waste...

The Su Family, under the guise of an aristocratic family, was committing heinous acts! Li Cheng had little fondness for them.

However, with his current strength, opposing the entire Su Family was indeed a challenge.

But this Su Helian, the Su Family Elder...

For him to set his sights on his daughter... He must die!

However, today was Xixi's birthday.

It was not appropriate to shed blood.

Jiao Shaoqiu's courtyard was spacious, and as the group entered, Li Cheng saw many familiar faces.

For example, Sang Guanyin and Xixi's second senior brother, Ban Ban, were all present, ready to celebrate Xixi's birthday.

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

In his hand, he held a huge dragon pig covered in scales from head to toe.

"Hehe, this dragon pig is a demonic beast I specifically hunted early this morning in the mountains outside Dao City. I'll prepare it, and tonight, I'll make a demonic beast feast for Xixi."

Ban Yuanlong said with a hearty laugh.

Demonic beast...

Li Cheng's gaze fell upon the struggling dragon pig.

With the Strange Temple's divine essence, once the Wicked Pagoda opens, demonic beasts will emerge and combine with existing animals, leading to the proliferation of more demonic beasts.

Some demonic beasts, after gaining sentience, can even become extremely terrifying.

Take Qi City, for example. According to historical records, it is now occupied by various demonic gods. Each demonic god is no weaker than a Divine Embryo Great Deity!

"I'll do it."

Suddenly, Boss, dressed in white like snow, slowly walked out and said indifferently, "I'm a professional."

"I'm afraid your cooking will be so bad that it'll disgust Xixi."

Ban Yuanlong: "..."

As sturdy as he was, he lowered his head to look at the thin white-clothed youth.

His bronze-like eyes widened.

"You can insult me, but not my cooking skills!" Ban Yuanlong said in a deep voice, "To strive for the Hero Spectrum... I often venture into the wild mountains outside Dao City, fighting demonic beasts and even cooking their meat to fill my stomach..."

"My cooking skills are honed through real practice."

Ban Yuanlong spoke with a deep voice.

"Oh." Boss said indifferently, "You can repeat that later."

After saying this, he gently pulled the dragon pig from Ban Yuanlong's hand and headed towards the kitchen.

Ban Yuanlong scratched his head...

This person had incredible strength!

Li Cheng, upon witnessing this scene, could only say that Boss truly doted on Xixi. Otherwise, with Boss's indifferent attitude, how could he possibly take on this task?

He was probably afraid that Ban Yuanlong's cooking would disgust Xixi.

Xixi, as the birthday girl, happily ran around the courtyard.

"Daddy, Mommy! Look at me. These days, Xixi has been diligently cultivating! Xixi has already awakened her Divine Vein!"

Xixi burst with qi and blood, demonstrating and showing off to Li Cheng and Zhang Ya.

"Xixi is about to catch up to her smelly daddy!"

Xixi clenched her small fist, excited.

She remembered that her father was just a small master, wasn't he?

Big Black Dog had always been by Xixi's side, following her wherever she went.

Li Qingshan also arrived, and as he walked, a domineering aura of true essence raged and entangled around him, clearly showing that after half a year of seclusion, he had successfully broken through to the Great Grandmaster realm.

Li Cheng sat in a chair, chatting casually with him.

It had been a long time since Li Cheng had seen Li Qingshan.

Li Qingshan's eyes danced with excitement, his spirits high, and he was incredibly excited.

"Ah Cheng, remember to call me. I'm so strong now!"

Li Qingshan had obviously just broken through a few days ago, and his divine aura was raging and uncontrollable.

From time to time, arcs of thunder flashed and intertwined.

Li Cheng looked at Li Qingshan and smiled, "Good, there should be an action soon... I'll call you then."

Li Qingshan and Li Cheng were communicating telepathically. Upon hearing this, his eyes suddenly flashed with brilliance.

"Who is the target?! I, Cat Face, with my Horned Hammer, will smash his head!"

Li Qingshan felt incredibly powerful! Even a Heaven-born Great Grandmaster would dare to challenge him, although he would die with just one touch. But this newly-broken-through sharp aura was unstoppable.

"The target... is Elder Su Helian of the Divine Sect."

Li Cheng grabbed a washed peach and took a bite.

Li Qingshan said, "I might need to consolidate my true essence aura first."

"It's time to eat."

Suddenly, a faint voice floated out, instantly drowning out all other sounds.

A rich aroma wafted from the kitchen, and just the scent alone seemed to reveal a golden, glistening roasted pig.

Droplets of thick, golden oil dripped from the roasted suckling pig, falling into the charcoal fire and making a sizzling sound.

This fragrance captivated everyone present.

Even Elder Jiao Shaoqiu, a dignified and experienced elder, couldn't help but move his neck slightly.

The Boss, in his white robe, gracefully carried the roasted dragon pig from the kitchen.

He placed it on the dining table.

The wind and snow were blocked out, leaving only the lingering fragrance in the courtyard.

"Xixi, come here."

The Boss used his blade to cut into the golden, oily roasted dragon pig.

The blade made a cracking sound as it sliced through the dragon pig's crispy skin, revealing tender, white meat with steam rising from it.

The various dishes inside seemed to overflow like precious jewels.

The Boss personally sliced the pork, cut off a chunk of pig's trotter, and served a bowl of the dish hidden in the dragon pig's belly to Xixi, who had been eagerly drooling.

"Eat up," the Boss said, ruffling Xixi's hair.

Everyone quickly started eating.

Ban Yuanlong's body was like a small mountain, and after taking just one bite, he couldn't stop.

"Your Excellency, please feel free to insult my culinary skills."

Ban Yuanlong couldn't even lift his head as he kept eating.

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

Zhou Peng ate while tears streamed down his face.

"I shouldn't eat pork, but I can't help it... It's so delicious!"

Elder Jiao Shaoqiu looked at the white-robed youth in surprise, then at the big black dog gnawing on the pig's tail.

His cloudy, deep eyes suddenly narrowed slightly.

A scene seemed to overlap with his thoughts.

A white-robed man with a dog...

Elder Jiao Shaoqiu's eyes narrowed slightly.

He thought of the temple deity of the Strange Shrine of the Sage Dao Manifestation Three-Eyed True Monarch, suppressed by the Divine Sect. The scene seemed to completely overlap with his thoughts.

Elder Jiao closed his eyes and opened them again, his divine nature cleansing his eyes.

His primordial spirit radiated golden light, and he looked intently.

That familiar feeling disappeared again.

"It's also... the black dog by the Three-Eyed True Monarch's side is a thin dog. How could it be so fat?"

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

"Old... so old..."

Elder Jiao shook his head and sighed.

Now, he was thoroughly aged, and his lifespan was nearing its end. All he could do in his remaining days was to nurture more good disciples for the sect.

Outside the small courtyard.

A figure stumbled over, drunk.

"Wow—it smells so good! You guys are eating delicious food without me?"

Huang Jianjiu, disheveled and drunk, stumbled into the courtyard.

Then, he saw the big black dog gnawing on a pig's trotter.

Huang Jianjiu suddenly felt a slight pain at the back of his head!

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

Huang Jianjiu stared, feeling a sense of familiarity.

It seemed like he had seen it somewhere before.

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

...

...

After a satisfying meal.

The courtyard became quiet again.

"Mom and Dad, wait for Xixi. Xixi will get stronger soon, and then she'll be able to take on missions and secretly visit you!"

Xixi was reluctant to part with Li Cheng and Zhang Ya, but she was strong and sensible, saying, "I know that you sent me to the Divine Sect for my own good."

Elder Jiao had also told her that once she became the Sect Lord's personal disciple, the Divine Sect would be under her command, and she could go wherever she wanted.

Therefore, Xixi worked hard in her cultivation, aspiring to become the Sect Lord's personal disciple!

"Tomorrow, Xixi will go to the Wicked Pagoda of the Strange Shrine for training..."

"So we can't stay with you tonight."

Elder Jiao Shaoqiu apologized slightly.

Li Cheng and Zhang Ya waved their hands, as they saw Xixi every night, so they weren't too concerned.

Saying goodbye to Xixi.

A group of people rode in a carriage out of the Divine Sect's mountain gate. Because it was late, Elder Jiao asked Nie Yang to personally escort them, accompanying them through the Strange Shrine within the mountain gate, which became active at night, to prevent the Strange Shrine from expanding the Wicked Pagoda and Wicked Mist due to the presence of strangers.

Li Qingshan also followed the carriage.

The cold wind whistled, and the snow was icy.

At the city gate.

Xixi kept jumping and waving.

Li Cheng slowly withdrew his gaze, and Zhang Ya leaned on Li Cheng's embrace, "Husband... Xixi has become so sensible."

"But I feel a little heartbroken because she's so sensible..."

"Such a good daughter..."

Zhang Ya murmured softly.

Li Cheng's eyes were deep and mysterious, and he turned to look out the window.

"Yes... such a good daughter."

"So, anyone who dares to covet my daughter..."

"Must die."
