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

Chapter 179 Heaven and Earth Nets Kill the Bull Demon, Thunderous Slay Evil Sheep Has Arrived 2

Li Che brought her home for a meal, and after tasting Zhang Yaʼs cooking, this girlʼs cheekiness skyrocketed. Every day, sheʼd dash to Li Cheʼs house after work as if she were even more eager to get home than he was.

”Have you ever not come over for a free meal?” Li Che grumbled.

”Iʼll pay for my meals.”

Shangguan Qinghong, however, kept laughing. She knew Li Che was joking; after all, to them, gold and silver and such mundane objects truly meant nothing.

After a quick tidy up, Li Che, followed closely by Shangguan Qinghong like a persistent shadow, left the Qintian Observatory together.

No sooner had they stepped off the stone steps than they encountered the alcohol-soaked Liu He and Hai Chuanying.

”Hey, Brother Li, coming home from work again? Why donʼt you join us at Yunfang Boat today? Iʼve invited you so many times, but you never come...” Upon seeing Li Che, Liu He warmly invited him.

Visiting brothels and listening to music wasnʼt that a standard pastime for Third-Class Guest Officials of the Qintian Observatory?

Except for Li Che, who was the exception.

Every day after work, heʼd rush home as if the women at Yunfang Boat were man-eaters.

”Ha ha ha, another day, another day.” Li Che responded to Liu He with a fist and palm salute and nodded to Hai Chuanying.

Both shook their heads. With Li Cheʼs ”another day,” who knew when that day would actually come.

”Then, Old Liu, Iʼll be waiting earnestly. Brother Li... donʼt go back on your word.”

Liu He and Hai Chuanying left with laughter.

Li Che shook his head; those two were indeed carefree.

”Normally, a Third-class Guest Official at the Qintian Observatory, after being there for a while, lives this free-spirited life; visiting brothels, enjoying small drinks, totally laid-back since they have no ambitions or hopes to strive for the rank of Second-Class Guest Official,”

”To aim for Second-Class Guest Official, one would need to cultivate the ʼGreat Vista Qintian Seven Spirits Carving Techniqueʼ to major accomplishment... which is genuinely not easy. The Divine Secret Techniques and Martial Arts need to reach a great success level, which is extremely difficult,”

”Knowing they have no hope, they begin to enjoy life, better to spend more energy on enjoyment and divine cultivation,”

Shangguan Qinghong saw through the state of people like Liu He and made a face.

”Big Brother Li, try to visit Yunfang Boat less. That place is unclean, and teeming with all sorts...”

Li Che just smiled.

Was he that kind of person?

The two walked past the long street and returned to Listening Flowers Lane.

The watchful eyes that the Black Snake Gang had planted were still present, and the numbers were seemingly increasing.

Li Che had yet to eradicate the Black Snake Gang, mainly starting by clearing other powers from the Fishing Gang; he did it to confuse the issue, to dismiss everyoneʼs notion that he, Li Che, was the Bull Demon.

Now, that conception had pretty much been fully dispelled.

If Li Che wished, he could wipe out the Black Snake Gang at any moment.

After all, the Black Snake Gang wasnʼt much stronger than White Wave Hall.

Pausing for a moment, Li Cheʼs brows furrowed as he sensed that the number of people planted by the Black Snake Gang to tail him had increased tenfold today, and besides, there was also the hidden presence of strong individuals.

Li Cheʼs eyes flickered with a cold light as he unobtrusively made his way back into the small courtyard in the alley.

”Wow! Sister Qinghong!”

Experience tales at empire

As soon as they entered the courtyard, Xi Xi, who was practicing martial arts, immediately ran over with delight, taking the opportunity to stop practicing!

Old Chen, utterly helpless, could only declare a break and began sipping his wine.

Shangguan Qinghong, on the other hand, shrieked back at Xi Xi, and they started frolicking in the courtyard, the tall and the small stamping their feet in excitement.

”Sister Qinghongʼs come over? Iʼll just fry up another dish, and dinner will be ready.” Zhang Ya walked out from the house, seeing the meal-freeloading Shangguan Qinghong, and smilingly spoke in a tender tone.

She has always been a very gentle woman.

Moreover, she could see that her husband truly didnʼt have much interest in the young Shangguan Qinghong, even... completely treating her like a daughter.
