As a father, I just want to quietly watch you live a long life

Chapter 10: Repeating Crossbow with 9 Arrows, Mechanism to Kill

Li Che clutched the Spirit Infant Statue, his eyes flickering uncertainly.

Since the other party had targeted them and had taken out the sinister Spirit Infant Wood Carving as a mark, Li Che naturally did not dare to take a risk. If he went out to work and the other party forced their way into the house, he would regret it terribly.

”The safest place... naturally, is the wood carving shop!”

”I am now a wood carving master, with my own workshop, where Xi Xi and Xiao Ya can stay...”

”Hmm, stable and safe!”

Having made a decision to secure a safe option, Li Che woke his wife, Zhang Ya.

”Husband, you were too exhausting last night; you must have been holding back for a long time...” Zhang Yaʼs face blushed slightly, her gaze towards Li Che seemingly able to squeeze out water.

Li Che smiled, gently stroking his wifeʼs disheveled hair.

”Wife, tidy up a bit, take Xi Xi with us, and go to the wood carving shop... Join me at work these next two days.”

Li Che said.

Zhang Ya was momentarily startled. Going to the wood carving shop to work together?

”Husband, today is your first day at work as a wood carver... Should Xi Xi and I really accompany you? Wonʼt that displease the shopkeeper?”

Li Che shook his head: ”No, the workshop is a private space of the wood carving master, and itʼs fine for family members to stay there. Besides, I will explain to the shopkeeper.”

Upon hearing this, Zhang Ya stopped objecting and began to pack, picking up Xi Xi, who was wide awake on the bed, waving her arms and legs, playing by herself.

After bundling up Xi Xi securely, the family braved the wind and snow and set off for Xuʼs Wood Carving Shop.

Li Che protected his wife and daughter, tightening his wifeʼs cotton clothes against the howling wind and covering Xi Xi to shield her from the cold.

At the same time, Li Che was also scanning his surroundings, extremely vigilant.

Zhang Ya, seeing her husband like this, suddenly felt a chill and knew that something must have happened. Although Li Che had not spoken of it, she decided not to ask and instead worried silently.

The couple, with their child, walked through the wind and snow, stepping onto the snow-covered bluestone street.

”The Holy Spirit teaches, cleanses from the worldly dust, method of reincarnation without worries...”

”Only the highly wise are naturally accomplished...”

The sound of tinkling and drumming echoed as the Followers of the Spiritual Infant Sect approached in a mesmerizing formation from a distance.

The Three-Headed Six-Armed Lingying Statue carried on the palanquin, amidst a swirl of incense and smoke, grew more sinister.

Li Che even faintly felt the Spirit Infant Master Wood Carvingʼs gaze intentionally looking towards his family, blurring his vision, constantly watching them, making him feel like a thorn was in his back!

”Husband...” Zhang Ya looked at the procession of the Spirit Infant Master, her expression clearly panicking.

”Donʼt be afraid, Iʼm here.”

”Donʼt look, keep walking straight.”

Li Che patted his wife, wrapping his arm around her slender shoulders, and headed straight for the wood carving shop.

However, Li Che inexplicably felt the chill wind rustle behind him, as if a figure was constantly following behind his family.

The crisis was like dense ink soaking into a pond, beginning to spread gradually until the entire pond turned black.

Fortunately, they soon arrived at Xuʼs Wood Carving Shop.

The moment he stepped into the wood carving shop, Li Che finally felt a relief wash over him. He looked back in the distance, his eyes narrowing, and sure enough, saw a shadow flash past a corner.

”Lei Chunlan?”

Li Cheʼs chest heaved violently, and he could not help but be overwhelmed with the urge to kill.

”A Che?”

Suddenly, a familiar voice rang out. Chen Dabao, holding a gourd and drinking, saw Li Che, along with Zhang Ya and Xi Xi by his side.

This scene... made him pause for a moment, but Old Chen, wise beyond his years, recalled what Li Che had previously mentioned about the Spirit Infant Master targeting his daughter, and quickly understood the situation.

”Come inside first.”

Old Chenʼs expression was solemn as he ushered Li Che and his wife and daughter into the shop.

Li Che settled Zhang Ya in his workshop before going to find Old Chen.

Old Chen, drinking from his gourd, glanced at Li Che, ”Being targeted?”

Li Che nodded and pulled out the Spirit Infant Wood Carving that had appeared at his doorstep the previous night.
