Chapter 765 -249: Xi Xi and the Big Black Dog Meet Again, Who Took Away You Liqing’s Three Souls and Seven Spirits_4
So, Li Che would take advantage of the moment when dawn’s light made the world clear and bright, to sense the universe and awaken his spirit.
After getting up, he would go to the boss’s restaurant to pack breakfast, preparing it for Xi Xi and Zhang Ya.
After breakfast, Li Che would take Xi Xi with him, have Nie Yang drive, and head to the Divine Talisman Tower with Xi Xi and Li Chengzhou.
After delivering Xi Xi into the hands of the Sect Master’s wife at the Divine Talisman Tower, Li Chengzhou would stay there.
Nie Yang would then drive Li Che, galloping out of Qianyuan Dao City towards Divine Carving Ridge.
Within Divine Carving Ridge, Li Che had obtained his own workshop.
It was a massively large elder’s residence prepared for Li Che by Gongshu Jingjun.
The land on Divine Carving Ridge was not valuable, and the elder’s residence was exceedingly vast, occupying over ten acres.
Li Che would then start working at the Divine Eagle Ridge Elder Court, carving Divine Sculptures, and perfecting his skills.
Although he had perceived some Semi-Saint charm from the Two-Mind Great Saint Divine Sculpture gifted by Elder Sun, there was still a big gap before he could truly step into the realm of Divine Sculpture Half-Saint using this charm.
Even with the help of Immortal Craft Dao Fruit, he still needed time to accumulate.
The hallmark of a Divine Sculpture Half-Saint is to carve a statue of a Temple God at the middle rank of the Five Elders!
To achieve this level, one must meet the standards in Martial Path, Divine Cultivation, and Divine Sculpture Skill, where lacking in any one aspect is unacceptable.
After finishing work, Li Che would return home with Nie Yang.
The handsome Flood Dragon Horse pulled the luxurious carriage, dashing along the official road, breaking through the snow and howling as it sped.
The journey was quite stable, just as Li Che said, in his life he’s been kind to others, just a diligent, honest and down-to-earth Divine Sculpture Master.
Who would think of killing him?
However, Nie Yang didn’t dare to relax, mainly because he was worried about the Corpse God Cult.
After all, the Corpse God Cult was crazed and ruthless, even daring to kill the Divine Sculpture Master of the Su Family!
The night was hazy, and the wind and snow whined.
Li Che, holding Xi Xi, arrived at the restaurant deep in Thunder Alley through the Thunder Chess Piece.
Having promised the boss to bring Xi Xi along, Li Che naturally would not go back on his word.
Now, he was finally bringing Xi Xi to the restaurant.
As if knowing that Xi Xi would come, the bluestone ground of Thunder Alley, covered with thick snow, was swept very clean, with the snow melting away, dry and refreshing.
The Big Black Dog was not lying at the door of the shop as in the past, but held its head high, its dark eyes rolling, looking forward expectantly into the dark alley.
When it saw Li Che holding Xi Xi coming, a brilliant radiance burst out from the dog’s eyes.
It excitedly bounced around, then sprinted towards Xi Xi beside Li Che…
“Gou!”
Xi Xi wriggled out from Li Che’s arms, stepping on the clean ground, pitter-pattering her small, short legs!
“Daddy, it’s Gou!”
On Xi Xi’s tiny face, there was a flush of excitement!
Xi Xi and the Big Black Dog collided into a hug, then she deftly climbed onto the dog’s back, frolicking together with the Big Black Dog.
In the hazy night, the sounds of Xi Xi and Gou playing echoed through Thunder Alley like the tinkling of silver bells.
Before the restaurant.
The boss, dressed in white, was smoking a cigarette. Seeing Xi Xi arrive, he immediately pinched out the smoke and waved away the scent.
Even his usually stern face couldn’t help but reveal a rare, lively smile.
“Come in, it’s cold outside.”
“Get ready for dinner.”
The boss’s voice softened by several degrees.
Li Che stretched languidly, “I didn’t break my promise, did I? I brought Xi Xi for some good food. Got any fine wine to serve?”
The warmth on the boss’s face withdrew as he said indifferently, “It’s been half a month since you last said you’d bring Xi Xi to the restaurant.”
Li Che looked slightly awkward, “Xi Xi’s been busy.”
The boss curled his lip.
Then, his gaze shifted, landing on Li Che’s left forearm just for a moment before emotionlessly moving away.
…
…
Whoosh whoosh whoosh—
In Qianyuan Taoist City, a dark and deep alley.
The night wind was icy cold, freezing everything in its path.
A figure in a flapping black robe braved the cold wind, pushing through the snow, moving slowly.
The hooded black cloak completely concealed their form.
Standing in the dark, secluded alley for an unknown amount of time, the already dark ground turned even darker, as though rich Death Qi and Corpse Qi were rolling in like dense, fragrant smoke.
The smoke transformed, eventually taking on a pitch-black jade hue.
Gradually, it outlined three shadowy figures, wrapped in black robes, standing deep within the alley.
The hooded figure in the black cloak watched those three figures with eyes of azure blue that held a tinge of madness.
“Curse Jade Corpse?”
“Three Upper Curse Jade Corpses?”
A cold and somewhat crazed voice came from the stunningly delicate face revealed after the hood was lifted.
“Why not dispatch a Demigod Corpse?”
Removing the hood to reveal two sharp horns, jet-black hair swirling wildly like a waterfall, her radiant skin emitted strong, vigorous Qi-Blood energy.
“Princess Consort, please calm your anger…”
“It’s not that the Five Elders’ Corpse God Envoy is unwilling to come… but… Dao City is too dangerous, with reports that the Sect Master of the Divine Sect has concluded his seclusion. At such a critical time, the Five Elders’ Corpse God Envoy does not dare to step into Dao City lightly, unless he can achieve a decisive kill. So… please understand, Princess Consort.”
A Curse Jade Corpse’s voice was hoarse and deep.
For the Corpse God Cult, a Demigod Corpse was a loss they couldn’t afford.
“The Princess Consort wants to eliminate the Underworld, and our Corpse God Cult shares this intention. We are eager to cooperate as the Underworld acts viciously, targeting our cultivators and slandering our cult… truly despicable and venomous…”
