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

Chapter 886: Chapter 276: Li Yanluo Marks Names in the Book of Life and Death, Netherworld Ox Demon Slaughters Dragons Today [Seeking Monthly Ticket]_3

Li Che watched as Xi Xi entered the Strange Que to begin the third and final trial.

He slowly withdrew his gaze.

…

…

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—

On the official road, the spring breeze rustled with an unusual intensity.

The sunlight was dazzling, and the hills were alive with the vibrancy of spring.

Li Che slowly opened his eyes. Standing tall and straight like a spear, he perched atop a poplar tree newly adorned with budding green leaves. The flowers bloomed, and a cuckoo softly called.

The spring wind brushed his face, whipping his black hair into a wild frenzy, lashing against the air with a sharp sound.

In his pupils, the scene of Xi Xi stepping into the Mysterious Fog within the Strange Que appeared and simultaneously dissipated.

Even though he had come to assassinate the Princess Consort, Li Che still kept an eye on his daughter’s situation.

A parent-child event for his daughter? Li Che would never want to miss that.

If not for his [Fairy in the Painting] clone, Li Che truly wouldn’t have been able to simultaneously attend the parent-child activity and intercept the Peaceful Princess on the official road.

As for Xi Xi entering the Strange Que and setting foot on the Temple Suppressing Road…

Li Che had given her all the trump cards he could offer. And with the Big Black Dog transformed into a Puppy guarding her, Li Che was completely unworried about Xi Xi’s circumstances.

Li Che imagined that with the Big Black Dog stepping in, there was unlikely to be any mishap.

This gamble—it would almost be impossible to lose.

His gaze was deep, like a lifeless pool of stagnant water.

Icy killing intent began to seep slowly from Li Che’s body. Toward the Dragon Queen Consort, Li Che harbored an intense murderous rage.

After arriving at Qianyuan Daoist City, the Dragon Queen Consort had targeted Xi Xi, even brazenly declaring her intent to force Xi Xi into a ghost marriage for her deceased son, Ji Haihui…

This was a direct strike at Li Che’s reverse scale.

Your son was no better than yellow trash when alive; in death, he wants to remain yellow trash?!

But…

Li Che’s eyes narrowed in thought. Upon learning of You Liqing’s assassination, the Peaceful Princess had cautiously and efficiently sought refuge in the Daoist Master Mansion.

Within the Daoist Master Mansion was Dao Master Yue Huanglong overseeing it—a man of immense power. Previously, when the Princess Consort had been injured, Li Che had used the “Slumbering Dragon Elephant” to conceal his presence and wandered outside the City Lord’s Mansion.

In the end, he chose to abandon the attempt—never going through with the assassination of the Princess Consort.

Yue Huanglong’s strength… Li Che felt was no weaker than Feng Zhiqi, the Three-Opening Martial Saint of the Temple Control Bureau!

Such an expert…

Li Che did not wish to provoke for the time being.

But now, the Peaceful Princess had chosen to leave the Daoist Master Mansion, intending to secretly flee.

“Now truly is an opportune moment to leave—after all, everyone’s attention is occupied by the third trial of the Sect Master’s direct disciple selection. Leaving at this time would indeed lower the danger to its absolute minimum… But within these circumstances, there might be hidden traps, pits dug specifically for me to fall into.”

“The Peaceful Princess… could indeed be using herself as bait to fish.”

Li Che’s robes flapped sharply in the wind.

“Yet…”

“Even if it’s a trap, even if you’re fishing… I will kill you.”

“The sole regret… Mo City has yet to be restored, meaning it cannot be used for now…”

“Otherwise, dragging you into Mo City and unleashing Yellow Sword Wine, You Liqing, and the Vajra Ape Mechanical Beast in a coordinated attack—no matter how much scheming you attempt, you would surely die.”

Li Che raised his head, his black hair wildly surging, his eyes brimming with murderous rage that raged like a storm.

From the moment the Princess Consort demanded Xi Xi marry Ji Haihui in death, the Peaceful Princess had already been written into the earthly Netherworld’s Book of Life and Death, awaiting her name to be mercilessly crossed out by Netherworld’s Li Yanluo!

Whoosh, whoosh—

The fierce wind howled.

Li Che lifted his hand, his two fingers pressed together, slashing fiercely through the air. A cute Bull Demon Mask instantly flew into his grasp.

His five fingers spread wide, pressing the mask onto his face.
