Chapter 390: The End! Father and Daughter, Unparalleled in the World, Emperor Grants Xi Xi Control of the Peach Feast 【Seeking Monthly Votes】 (Part 2)
Then, with a thought, he seemed to grasp the divinity of the Queen Mother's Temple.
His entire body twisted like a spiral, disappearing in an instant.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—
Li Che's departure didn't cause any disturbance in the Peach Orchard.
The gentle breeze blew, and the air was not dry.
...
...
Dark clouds piled high in the sky, with faint electricity weaving and rolling, as spring thunder brewed and rumbled.
Accompanied by a rolling thunderclap, the spring thunder spread across the sky like branches.
The Second and Third Cities of the Divine Capital.
The excitement remained unparalleled,
Even the spring rain, like beans, couldn't dampen the enthusiasm of the numerous cultivators.
Li Bansheng entered the Ten Thousand Year Peach Orchard! Even the Heavenly River Charm, controlled by the Empress, couldn't reveal the scenes within the Ten Thousand Year Peach Orchard. How could the various cultivators not be curious about what benefits Li Bansheng obtained in the legendary Peach Orchard?
They wondered if Li Bansheng would pick any Ten Thousand Year Peaches. However, three days ago, when Li Che entered the Ten Thousand Year Peach Orchard, the Empress had said,
"In the Ten Thousand Year Peach Orchard, the peaches are not ripe, so there are no peaches to pick."
But three days had passed, and Li Che still hadn't left the Ten Thousand Year Peach Orchard, which made many people's expressions strange.
Because Li Che hadn't come out, the Peach Feast was still ongoing.
On the White Jade Square, tables were arranged, and the sect leaders, heroes, and young dragon lords of the various divine sects sat behind them, enjoying the delicacies prepared by the Great Jing Imperial Court.
Since the feast hadn't ended, the imperial court had to keep preparing the banquet.
Xi Xi was overjoyed, as this was the happiest time in her six years of life. She didn't need to think about anything else; she just needed to eat, eat, and eat.
Every day, a variety of delicious dishes made Xi Xi's little belly round and plump.
Her face also gained some extra flesh.
Holding a piece of braised pig's trotter, this trotter was from a spiritual beast pig, with tender and delicious meat. Xi Xi would eat three or four of these every day.
"Eat slowly, no one is going to take it from you."
Zhang Ya's eyes were gentle, and she said with a hint of helplessness, also giving her own trotter with the plate to Xi Xi.
"When will my husband return? It's been three days... He entered the Ten Thousand Year Peach Orchard three days ago, I hope he's not in any danger."
Zhang Ya expressed her worries.
When Xi Xi and Li Che, as father and daughter, both became the champions of the Peach Feast, Zhang Ya was overjoyed.
However, after three days, this joy and happiness gradually subsided, leaving only concerns about her husband's absence.
Lu Taibai's silver hair fluttered, and his white robe's wide sleeves billowed as he drank with Shi Jian, the sect leader of the True Martial Sect.
"Little Ya, rest assured. The Empress said that in the Ten Thousand Year Peach Orchard, the peaches are not ripe, so Ah Che won't go to pick them. He won't encounter the guardian spirit beasts, which should be at the top-tier level. If Ah Che really encounters them, there might be some trouble. But since he won't encounter them, other troubles won't be a problem for him."
Lu Taibai said with a smile, his face flushed.
The Quanyuan Divine Sect could be considered the biggest winner of this Peach Feast.
As the sect leader, how could Lu Taibai not be delighted? How could he not sing and drink?
As for Li Che's safety, knowing Li Che's abilities and having witnessed his strength in the divine essence aspect, Lu Taibai had no worries.
Buzz...
Suddenly, on the White Jade Square, a divine essence appeared, winding like a coiling dragon.
At the moment this divine essence appeared, the second and third cities of the Divine Capital fell silent.
The bustling crowd of cultivators became hushed, turning their heads to look, and their breathing grew heavy.
"He's back!"
"Li Bansheng is returning! He's back from the Ten Thousand Year Peach Orchard!"
"The King returns! The champion returns!"
...
The crowd erupted in cheers.
Many cultivators were filled with anticipation.
After all, Li Che's performance in this Hero Festival had conquered everyone!
Single-handedly defeating three heroes of the Purple Mansion Divine Sect, including the extremely brutal Zhang Xuanlei.
Then, he crushed the Jade Guanyin, defeated the Golden-Haired Qilin, and won the bet, causing the Golden-Haired Qilin to sincerely submit and surrender!
For the cultivators of the Great Jing Realm, Li Che's victory over the Golden-Haired Qilin and making it his servant was the most exhilarating news!
The divine essence wove and intertwined, gradually forming Li Che's figure.
His black hair danced vigorously, and his black shirt, embroidered with golden lotuses, fluttered in the wind. His face was as smooth as jade, exuding warmth and tranquility.
Li Che brushed off the frost grass fragments from his body and then tucked his hands into his sleeves.
Since he hadn't used the Flying Thunder Chess Piece on Xi Xi to observe the outside, he slowly raised his head.
Countless pairs of shocked and excited eyes met his gaze.
In the second and third cities of the Divine Capital, whether on the White Jade Square or along the walls of the third city, all cultivators were staring at the tall, slender figure in black.
In their minds, they heard the news that had swept through the streets and alleys like a storm over the past three days—news about Li Che, the Divine Ape Half-Sage and the new champion of the Hero Festival.
A nobody from a small town had risen from the grassroots, leaving his humble origins behind.
A down-to-earth Divine Ape cultivator who had brought his family out of the small town, stepping into the prefectural city, and then the Dao City.
A young man who had created a legend of grassroots success!
Passion, excitement, and admiration erupted like fireworks, suddenly bursting forth.
"Li Bansheng!!!"
"Li Bansheng!!!"
"Champion of the Hero Festival!"
...
The cheers were deafening.
Hearing the shouts, Li Che's face broke into a gentle smile. He bowed and cupped his fists in greeting towards the cheering cultivators.
"Daddy—!!!"
A high-pitched scream and cheer rang out.
Li Che turned to see Xi Xi, who had just swallowed a pig's trotter, leaping from behind the table and dashing towards him. She ran with a thumping sound, then charged forward, her head like a hammer, colliding with Li Che's chest like a cannonball.
Li Che burst into laughter, a glint of tenderness flashing in his eyes.
He raised his hand and gently pushed Xi Xi into his embrace.
"Daddy, you're finally back!"
"I missed you so much, Daddy!"
Xi Xi wrapped her arms around Li Che's neck and rubbed against him affectionately, using the words Li Che had taught her.
"Daddy, I'm the champion of the Dragonlet Feast!"
Xi Xi's eyes shone with pride as she spoke.
"Daddy is the champion of the Hero Festival!"
"We're such an amazing father and daughter!"
Xi Xi couldn't help but stand tall and proud in Li Che's embrace, her hands on her hips and her little belly sticking out.
Li Che playfully patted her belly.
"You've been eating well these past few days; you've gained some weight."
Xi Xi immediately furrowed her brows and glared at him. "Don't pat a girl's belly!"
Li Che's laughter grew louder.
His wife, Zhang Ya, emerged from the main banquet area, taking small steps. Her worried expression faded, leaving only a bright and cheerful smile.
"Husband!"
Li Che didn't mind the attention as he embraced his wife and daughter in full view of the crowd.
With his family in his arms, he felt a sense of warmth and fulfillment, a life that many envied.
Thunder rumbled, and the rain fell like oil.
The spring rain seemed to become gentler at that moment.
Suddenly, the cheering cultivators quieted down.
A purple-clad figure appeared—the Purple-Robe Temple Monk, Li Gonggong, who had hosted the Peach Feast.
Li Gonggong stood before Li Che's family, his aged face bearing a gentle smile. He bowed respectfully.
"Champions, please follow me. His Majesty and the Empress will present the champion rewards to both of you."
Li Gonggong spoke, and Zhang Ya gently smoothed out the creases on Li Che's clothes before returning to the main banquet area of the Quanyuan Divine Sect.
Li Che had wanted to bring Zhang Ya to meet the Emperor and Empress.
But since Zhang Ya didn't want to go, Li Che didn't insist.
Nodding to Lu Taibai, Li Che led Xi Xi and followed Li Gonggong, walking along the White Jade Square.
They reached the end of the square, where a high platform was set up at the foot of the second city's walls.
They walked to the end of the White Jade Square, where a high platform was set up.
On the platform, the Emperor sat regally in a bright yellow robe.
The Empress exuded elegance and nobility, her eyes complex as she looked at Li Che.
Li Che also noticed familiar gazes from the surrounding First Prince, Second Prince, Third Prince, Ji Mo Li, National Master Xie Yunsen, Lu Chi, and others.
Li Che, holding Xi Xi's hand, walked forward with poise.
"Commoner Li Che, with my daughter Li Nuoxi, pays our respects to Your Majesty and the Empress."
Li Che stood straight, bowing and cupping his fists in greeting.
"How dare you! When facing the Great Jing Emperor, why don't you kneel?"
Action: "The moment Li Che finished speaking, the Third Prince, standing at the side of the high platform, rose to his feet and spoke in a deep voice.
Whoosh!
In an instant, the spring rain seemed to turn solemn, and the atmosphere suddenly became somewhat eerie.
The martial artists in the outskirts of the Third City of the Divine Capital were taken aback, and many of their faces changed.
Li Che glanced indifferently at the Third Prince.
However, before he could say anything, the Emperor waved his hand, "No need to be formal. The Hero Festival and Dragonlet Feast's top champions are both proud talents of our Great Jing. They have upheld our empire's glory in this Hero Festival and Dragonlet Feast, and as proud talents, they have their own dignity. They may stand before me without kneeling."
The Third Prince's face instantly turned ugly and anxious, and he hurriedly bowed in apology before retreating to the side.
The Second Prince, Lu Hengyi, chuckled as he glanced at the Third Prince, "Third Brother, you should learn from Father Emperor's magnanimity."
On the high platform, the Emperor's face was obscured by his divine essence and vital energy, making his features unclear. However, his eyes were bright, giving off a sense of oppression like a collapsing mountain.
His gaze swept over Li Che and Xixi.
Xixi, seeing this grand display for the first time, was genuinely anxious. She stood close to Li Che, holding onto his thigh. She reached out and gently tugged at Li Che's robe, looking like a shy little girl. This was a stark contrast to the fearless champion who dominated the Dragonlet Feast.
"Not bad."
"The Peach Feast's father and daughter champions, unparalleled in the world!"
The Emperor smiled and then picked up a wolf-hair brush, writing on the table before him.
After finishing his writing, he handed it to the Empress by his side.
Since the Peach Feast was hosted by the Empress, it was only natural for her to deliver the rewards and words of praise.
The Empress accepted the scroll written by the Emperor and stood up. Her phoenix-adorned robe and crown shimmered with light, and the spring rain seemed to be distorted by an invisible force.
Her dignified and elegant voice, as grand as a phoenix's cry, echoed throughout the Second and Third Cities of the Divine Capital.
"The first hero of the Quanyuan Divine Sect, Li Che, has outshone the heroes of various divine sects. He has fought for our Great Jing, overcoming the forces from the Western Buddhist Lands and the Great Li Wushen Mountain. By keeping the title of the Hero Festival's champion within our empire, his achievements are unparalleled!"
"I bestow upon him a Three Pure Ones Lower Rank Divine Crystal, two Four Virtues Upper Rank Divine Essence Crystals, a Four Virtues Upper Rank Dragon Tiger Heavenly Pill, and a Heavenly Astronomical Bureau Armory's Four Virtues Divine Armament!"
"Furthermore, I appoint him as the Third Rank Imperial Commissioner of the Lingnan Circuit, allowing him to serve in the imperial court. As a pillar of our Great Jing, he can uphold peace and suppress the Enigma Tower Catastrophe!"
The Empress's majestic voice reverberated throughout the area.
In an instant, everyone's expressions subtly changed.
In the Main Banquet Area of the Quanyuan Divine Sect, Lu Taibai's smiling face suddenly turned pale. He slammed the cup in his hand onto the table!
Li Che stood on the White Jade Square, his eyebrows slightly furrowed.
Xixi, feeling a little dazed, watched, seemingly not fully understanding the situation.
Li Che, without a word, continued to lazily explore and observe Soren's body, spreading him out even more.
Xixi, still holding onto Li Che's thigh, looked on with a mix of curiosity and apprehension.
The Empress's eyes fell on the two, focusing on Xixi, who clung to Li Che's leg, looking timid.
Her red lips moved slightly, "The Peach Feast's first champion, Li Che, and his daughter, Xixi, are unparalleled in the world!"
"I bestow upon them the position of Junior Temple Administrator in the Queen Mother of the West's Enigma Temple, and arrange a marriage proposal!"
"She is to be the future Crown Prince Consort, and when the Crown Prince is officially appointed, they can be married. In the future, she will preside over the Peach Feast, becoming the mother of the empire!"
As her words concluded, the sound of creaking and cracking filled the air.
The sky above seemed to stretch infinitely.
Throughout the Second and Third Cities of the Divine Capital, both inside and outside, everyone was filled with astonishment and disbelief.
Whether it was the high-ranking sect leaders of various divine sects or the wandering heroes within the Third City, all were bewildered and lost.
Appointing the Crown Prince Consort in advance?
Arranging for the future Empress to preside over the Peach Feast?"
The Crown Prince hasn't even been chosen, yet the Crown Prince Consort is already selected..."
Everyone's thoughts were in disarray, and their gazes instinctively turned to the front of the White Jade Square.
There, in the spring rain, stood a tall figure in a black shirt.
Li Che, holding Xixi's hand, stood amidst the rain.
Xixi, still holding onto Li Che's thigh, looked on with a mix of emotions.
Li Che's gaze, filled with determination, met Xixi's curious and anxious eyes.
