Chapter 275: A Bet that Could Sever the Dao Path, Letting Dog Smash Accompany Xi Xi in the Temple Gu
Chapter 275: A Bet that Could Sever the Dao Path, Letting Dog Smash Accompany Xi Xi in the Temple Guardian Exam [Seeking Monthly Votes] (Part 2)
If Gongshu Wentian and Xuan Yue were to reach the third trial, I might feel some pressure. After all, the Gongshu Clan is the Great Jing's Heaven Divination Bureau's Inspector General's clan, and Gongshu Wentian is indeed quite capable.
Xuan Yue is from the Mystic Dao Sect, and she's also very strong..."
As for the two of you..."
Golden Taisui has always been a carefree and unfettered person. He's arrogant because, in Great Jing, he must act arrogantly and showcase the grandeur of a young prince.
"A five-year-old little girl who can only stand here with the help of the Temple God's power..."
"You two can't really pose much of a threat to me."
Golden Taisui's disdain was almost unconcealed in his words.
Golden Taisui looked at Xi Xi, "I admit that your talent is quite impressive, and with various enhancements, you should have the ability to connect with the heavens through your purple aura..."
"But you're only five years old, how strong can you be? If you don't rely on mechanisms, suppressing you would be like crushing a defeated dog."
How arrogant! Xi Xi's eyebrows furrowed in anger!
"You, a defeated opponent, dare to look down on the Great Emperor Xi Xi!"
Xi Xi crossed her arms, puffing out her little belly, and shouted loudly.
Golden Taisui's face darkened, "Who is your defeated opponent? You ambushed me! Even if you used mechanisms to ambush me, you still have the nerve to call me a defeated opponent!"
"Little girl, do you dare to gamble with me?" Golden Taisui narrowed his eyes, staring at Xi Xi with a charming and mischievous smile.
"Gamble?"
Xi Xi suddenly remembered the scene of gambling with Ji Haihui, the wicked minister.
Her head shook like a tambourine.
"I won't gamble with you people who don't keep your word. If you lose, you won't admit it. It's meaningless." Xi Xi said.
Golden Taisui frowned, "How could I not keep my word? I'm a young witch from the Divine Witch Mountain, a noble place."
"The last one also said the same thing. He was a noble young prince! He promised that if he lost, he would be Xi Xi's servant, but then he lost and didn't admit it."
Xi Xi sighed and spread her hands.
"This place is the Heavenly Origin Sect Patriarch's Quantum Origin Pocket Universe. We're gambling here, witnessed by Dao Essence. If anyone goes back on their word, their Divine Tribulation Path will be severed!"
Golden Taisui raised his chin, staring at Xi Xi with unrestrained arrogance.
The immaturity and arrogance of a ten-year-old boy were fully displayed.
Xi Xi's eyes lit up instantly.
Yun E quickly covered Xi Xi's mouth, "Xi Xi, we're not gambling with him..."
Yun E was well aware of Golden Taisui's strength, which was undoubtedly formidable. Even with the Temple God within her, she might not win.
The opponent was from the Divine Witch Mountain, known for their bizarre methods. They must also have ways to suppress the Temple God.
Xi Xi pulled Yun E's hand away, stood on her tiptoes, and patted Yun E's shoulder like a child.
"Sister Yun E, with the Great Emperor Xi Xi here, rest assured! Xi Xi also has an ace up her sleeve!"
Xi Xi said seriously.
"What are we gambling on? The Golden Flower Cat!"
Xi Xi crossed her arms, her little belly jiggling.
"Simple. We're gambling on who comes first in the Temple Guard Examination."
"If you come first, I'll be your cartman's servant."
"If I come first, you'll come with me to see the Great Shaman God on Divine Witch Mountain."
Golden Taisui laughed, finally revealing his ambition.
Xi Xi's talent was indeed terrifying! In a fleeting glance, he saw Xi Xi's purple aura pillar, which was so exaggerated!
Connecting with the heavens was not even the limit for this little girl!
A hexagonal warrior...
Such a little girl would surely be appreciated by the Great Shaman God!
"Just to see the Great Shaman God on Divine Witch Mountain?" Xi Xi asked in confusion.
"Yes, it's that simple," Golden Taisui said.
However, after meeting the Great Shaman God...
You, little girl, will become a member of the Divine Witch Mountain!
"Okay!"
"The Great Emperor Xi Xi agrees to your bet!"
Xi Xi said.
At the same time.
In the instant the two of them made the bet.
Buzz—
The White Jade Staircase suddenly shook violently, and as the mist dissipated, the Grandmaster Divine Sculpture's eyes opened, emitting a brilliant white light.
Instantly, Dao Essence swirled around Xi Xi and Golden Taisui.
It was as if an invisible connection had formed in the heavens.
"The bet... is made!"
"Dao Essence witnesses, breaking the promise severs the Dao path!"
Golden Taisui's expression turned solemn, and he spoke in a deep voice.
Yun E's face changed slightly, and she couldn't help but sigh.
Xi Xi nodded heavily, "Mhm!"
Golden Taisui laughed, taking a deep look at the silly and cute little girl, his mood instantly improving.
He entered the Strange Shrine at three years old and crawled and fought there, experiencing various life-and-death crises. In terms of temple-guarding experience, how could he possibly lose to a five-year-old girl?
Buzz—
A white Dao Essence pillar drifted over.
Xuan Yue and Gongshu Wentian, who didn't make it to the top three in the Mind Nature Examination, were deprived of their Dao Essence.
Xi Xi, who placed third in the Mind Nature Examination, gained two feet of Dao Essence, adding to the nine feet she gained in the Talent Examination, totaling eleven feet of Dao Essence.
On the other side, Golden Taisui gained five feet of Dao Essence.
Yun E, who placed first in the Mind Nature Examination, gained twelve feet of Dao Essence.
The total amount of Dao Essence gained by the top three in the Mind Nature Examination was even greater than that of the Talent Examination!
This also implied that, although Lu Tai Bai's direct transmission examination emphasized talent, it valued other aspects as well.
Buzz—
Their eyes flickered, and in the next moment, they appeared outside the Quantum Origin Pocket Universe, having been teleported out.
"Daddy!"
As soon as Xi Xi came out, her eyes spun, and she immediately found Li Che sitting in the elder's chair.
Remembering the scenes from the illusion, Xi Xi happily ran towards Li Che and leaped into his embrace like an octopus.
She continuously rubbed her head against Li Che's chest.
"Xi Xi missed Daddy!"
Xi Xi said happily.
Li Che gently rubbed Xi Xi's head, "Don't worry, Daddy is always here. I'll protect you."
Xi Xi raised her head and blinked at Li Che. Was the father in the illusion not her real father? Was he not a product of Xi Xi's belief?
Xi Xi's eyes grew brighter, "Mhm!"
She nodded heavily.
Xi Xi quickly finished what she hadn't completed in the illusion.
"Daddy, pinky promise!"
The father and daughter hooked pinkies on the Jade Archway, unconcerned about their surroundings.
"Pinky promise, no backing out for a hundred years!"
Xi Xi happily shook her head continuously.
The serene Yun E looked on with envy, her eyes almost turning into substance.
Xi Xi also told on Golden Taisui for the bet they made.
Upon hearing this, Li Che's eyes narrowed...
In fact, Li Che already knew about this bet, and he guessed that Golden Taisui's intentions were not simple. He wanted to use the bet to trick Xi Xi into going to the Divine Witch Mountain?
Great Li's Divine Witch Mountain...
Compared to ordinary divine sects, it was much more powerful. Even the Great Li Dynasty Court was established under the supervision of the Divine Witch Mountain, and the Great Shaman God's identity was so noble that they could even appoint the emperor of the Great Li Dynasty Court.
"Father knows."
"Since we've made a bet, Xi Xi will do her best to win." Li Che rubbed Xi Xi's head and spoke to his daughter with a gentle and adorable tone, adding onomatopoeia.
However, Li Che's gaze turned to Jin Taisui, and his eyes were filled with a chilling coldness.
Jin Taisui, who had been taken away by the powerful cultivators of the Divine Witch Mountain, seemed to sense a bone-chilling cold. Having grown up crawling and rolling in the Mystic Pavilion Ghost Den, which was suppressed by the Divine Witch Mountain, Jin Taisui was extremely sensitive to the danger of death.
Looking over, he saw a gentle young man holding that little girl.
"Young Witch, you made a Dao Essence bet with that little girl?"
An elderly cultivator furrowed his brows and asked.
Jin Taisui smiled and nodded, "That girl's talent is quite good. At the very least, she has the Purple Qi of Heaven... The Great Shaman God will definitely like her, and perhaps... she could even become our Divine Witch Mountain's Divine Maiden."
"Young Witch, aren't you afraid that the Heavenly Origin Sect won't release her?"
"If they don't release her... then this little girl will be considered as not fulfilling the bet, and since it's a Dao Essence witnessed bet... If she breaks the agreement, her Dao path will be severed, and she won't be a threat in the future."
Jin Taisui smiled faintly.
"I'm crazy, and this little girl is even crazier than me..."
"She's only five years old. When I was five, I was much more sensible than her."
Another cultivator, looking at the confident Young Witch, couldn't help but say, "Young Witch... Have you considered the possibility of losing?"
"If you lose, will you really become a cartman and servant for this little girl?"
The smile on Jin Taisui's face gradually faded as he turned to the elderly cultivator, "If you can't speak properly, then speak less."
"I, Jin Taisui, entered the Mystic Pavilion Ghost Den at the age of three. How could I possibly lose?"
The face of the Divine Embryo cultivator, with its aged and withered appearance, trembled, "Young Witch..."
"This is the Heavenly Origin Dao City, the territory of the Heavenly Origin Sect..."
"If Lu Tai Bai makes a move..."
The smile on Jin Taisui's face froze.
"It won't happen, the Great God... He wouldn't be so shameless!"
Rustling.
The spring rain poured down.
Jin Taisui felt the raindrops on his face, slightly cool.
He raised his head and looked at the 'Quantum Origin' Dao Essence plaque.
Lu Tai Bai, with his silver hair like a waterfall and white clothes as pure as snow.
But Lu Tai Bai was smiling at him.
...
...
During the Qingming Festival, as the countdown to the arrival of night slowly ticked by.
The spring rain fell incessantly, nourishing the earth, unceasing.
The Heavenly Origin Sect Patriarch Great God Lu Tai Bai's Direct Transmission Examination, and the third trial of the Young Sect Master selection, was not held on the Qingming Festival.
Instead, it was scheduled for three days later.
And it was set to take place in the Heavenly Origin Dao City, within one of the two Four Imperial Enigmatic Shrines, the Nine-Toothed Devil Extermination Evil Heavenly Pig Strange Shrine.
The Mystic Dao Manifestation Three-Eyed True Monarch Strange Shrine, one of the Four Imperial Enigmatic Shrines, was located within the Heavenly Origin Sect's mountain gate and was suppressed by the Heavenly Origin Sect alone.
This Heavenly Pig Strange Shrine, however, was jointly suppressed by the four thousand-year-old clans of the Su Family, Yun Family, Zhong Family, and Zhou Family, along with the Temple Sealing Bureau and the Heaven Divination Bureau.
The establishment of this temple sealing examination was also agreed upon by the heads of the major clans.
As for the setting of the examination three days later, it was because preparations needed to be made in advance within the enigmatic shrine's mysterious tower.
These three days also served as a period for the three direct transmission candidates to prepare and strategize.
...
...
After the Qingming Festival, the rain became even more torrential.
The alley became muddy, and Li Che held an oil-paper umbrella, cradling Xi Xi with one hand, as they walked through Thunder Listening Lane towards the restaurant.
The heavy rain splashed on the muddy ground of the narrow alley, creating countless fine and overlapping water droplets.
Rainwater slid down the edge of the oil-paper umbrella, forming a curtain of rain.
Xi Xi wrapped her arms around Li Che's neck, happily shaking her head.
She would get to see the big black dog again, and eat the delicious dishes cooked by the boss!
The dim yellow light shone out from the restaurant.
Li Che arrived at the restaurant.
The big black dog, lying on the ground and sleeping to the sound of the rain, suddenly twitched its nose, its eyes opening wide, and its head raising.
It immediately spotted Xi Xi in the alley, and its dog eyes naturally ignored Li Che, the annoying one.
The big black dog happily jumped up, pounced around, and wagged its tail.
The boss sat in a chair, quickly pinching out his cigarette and waving his hand to disperse the smoke.
"You're here, Xi Xi. Are you hungry? What do you want to eat? I'll go make it right now."
A rare smile appeared on the boss's face.
Xi Xi, not one to be shy, started listing the dishes with her fingers.
"You're ordering so much, can you eat all of it?"
Li Che tapped Xi Xi's forehead.
"A bowl of noodles will be enough." Li Che said gently.
A moment later.
Li Che looked at the bowl of noodles in front of him and the delicious food in front of Xi Xi, such as braised pig's trotters and sweet and sour spare ribs, and fell into deep thought.
Had he been too polite?
After eating their fill.
Li Che and the boss each pulled up a chair and sat under the restaurant's eaves, each holding a cigarette.
They gazed at the curtain of rain, listening to the rain that cleansed their souls.
The boss, expressionless, said, "You mean, the little thing from the Divine Witch Mountain wants to make a bet with Xi Xi?"
"If Xi Xi loses, she'll have to go to the Divine Witch Mountain? Or else, with the Dao Essence witnessed bet... If she breaks the agreement, her cultivation path will be severed, and she won't be a threat in the future?"
Li Che nodded.
"Can you give Xi Xi one of your tea eggs as a snack?"
Li Che smiled, revealing his true purpose for bringing Xi Xi here.
Everyone was preparing their trump cards, and Li Che was no exception.
The boss put out his cigarette, "It's true... If Xi Xi loses, it would be troublesome to open the restaurant on the Divine Witch Mountain."
He was a person who disliked trouble.
So, he shook his head, "No need for the tea egg."
"No need for that trouble."
"Big Black Dog."
"You accompany Xi Xi on a trip."
7,000 words, it's a bit tedious to write. Sometimes, it's the plot that drives the author forward, and it's not easy to speed up or slow down. In this new month, with double the monthly votes, I'm asking for your support with monthly votes! I'll summarize this month before going to sleep.
