Rainwater splashed down from the high sky, unbearably cold.

Just like Li Che's current mood, cold enough to kill.

The smile on Li Che's face slowly faded as he gazed deeply at Xu Beihu. Despite Xu Beihu being his mentor in martial arts, he actually had designs on Xixi!

Xixi is only two and a half... and this man actually planned to make Xixi his foster bride?!

It's not that he found Xixi cute; it's undoubtedly because he coveted Xixi's Divine Talent, wanting to tie her future to his.

How could he, as a father, push Xixi into such a fire pit?

Li Che's expression turned cold, and even the slightest warmth he had shown to Xu Beihu disappeared.

"Second Manager, you're joking. Xixi is still young, it's too early to talk about such matters."

"Besides, Xixi's marriage is ultimately up to her own wishes. I won't interfere," Li Che said indifferently.

Seeming to sense the coldness in Li Che's words, Xu Beihu narrowed his eyes. "Master Li, a child's marriage is closely related to their parents. The words of parents are the most important."

Li Che didn't even bother to respond to Xu Beihu.

However, Xu Beihu was somewhat embarrassed and angry, as if he saw a hint of disdain on Li Che's face.

As if to say, his son, Xu Beihu, had no qualifications to match the highly talented Xixi.

"Master Li, Feilei City is no longer safe. The threat from the Spirit Child Sect is becoming more severe. Master Li is not one of the Xu family, and Xixi might not be fully protected under our care. If Xixi were to marry my son... she would be part of the Xu family, and the level of protection would naturally be different," Xu Beihu said calmly.

Li Che looked at Xu Beihu with calm eyes. "Second Manager... are you threatening me?"

The calm words made the world seem to fall silent.

The dripping sound of rain on the tiles and the blue stones became deafening.

Xu Beihu suddenly felt a chill down his back. The divine energy he cultivated was boiling, as if a terrible danger was approaching.

"Brother, Xixi is my goddaughter. As long as I, Xu You, am alive, I will give Xixi the greatest protection."

Suddenly, a resolute and angry voice came from behind, from the Divine Cultivation Academy.

Xu You was seen leading Xixi, who was carrying a small schoolbag, walking slowly.

"Daddy!"

Xixi saw Li Che and called out in surprise and happiness, her voice soft and gentle. Outside, Xixi was always very shy and gentle.

Li Che immediately looked at Xixi, his face softening. "Daddy is here to take you home. Your mother made your favorite braised shrimp today. Let's go back early."

Xixi, a glutton, could hardly control her drooling at the mention of food.

However, to maintain her image, she quietly covered her mouth.

On the other side, Xu You stood face-to-face with Xu Beihu.

Seeing the rarely angry Xu You, Xu Beihu's mouth twitched, but he didn't completely break ties. "Forget it, it was just a suggestion. My attitude was sincere, Master Li... think about it."

Xu Beihu didn't want to say more, just glanced at Li Che, and then turned to leave with his group.

"Brother's children... most of them have low Divine Talent, and his son is already eight, too old," Xu You said to Li Che, indignant and muttering.

He was even angrier than Li Che, the father.

Li Che was silently thinking of killing, but it wasn't very obvious on his face. Xu You's anger was written all over his face.

"Xixi's future... is destined for a divine sect. Don't let her future be delayed by the Xu family," Xu You said seriously to Li Che.

"As parents, we must take responsibility for our children's future!"

Li Che smiled genuinely. "Don't worry, my daughter is my little jacket. Whoever dares to covet her will face my wrath."

Xu You sighed in relief.

Xixi, on the side, ran over and collided into Li Che's open arms.

Li Che gave Xixi's soft cheek a smacking kiss.

"Xixi, were you good at the Divine Cultivation Academy? Did you listen to Grandma Mu today? Did you cause any trouble...? Wait, who's this old Xu?"

Li Che narrowed his eyes at the boy with the Nezha braid following Xixi.

This boy with the Nezha braid looked familiar. Wasn't he the child of that mysterious old man?

When Li Che met the old man in the Golden Radiance Pavilion, he was wondering where the boy had gone...

He never expected the boy to end up with Xixi!

A strong sense of danger emanated from Li Che.

Two words slowly emerged from the depths of his mind.

Yellow Hair?!

At two and a half, Yellow Hair dares to appear before an old father?

Lv Chi, who had been pretending to be innocent and smiling, suddenly felt a strong killing intent and his hair stood on end.

Lv Chi knew Li Che's true identity, having been with the mysterious old man.

This guy... is the lone hero of Feilei City, the Bull Demon!

A Bull Demon who has killed many people!

"He's a friend of Grandma Mu, placed in the Xu family's Divine Cultivation Academy to cultivate divine energy. He's Xixi's playmate..."

"My Xixi is so cute, how could she be playmates with this big head?"

As a father, he couldn't stand a boy always following his daughter like a little puppy.

Especially when this boy had an unusual background, traveling with an old man who could kill Divine Foundation Cultivators.

Xu You's mouth twitched, understanding Li Che's fatherly vigilance.

"It's not that bad, Old Li, it's not that bad..."

Xu You almost laughed out loud.

"This kid is quite well-behaved, and his Divine Talent is excellent... Grandma Mu didn't want to take care of him, so she gave him to me. I plan to take him to your place for a meal," Xu You said with a smile.

But the smile soon faded.

Li Che glanced at him, then at Lv Chi with the Nezha braid.

"Uncle, I..."

Lv Chi tried to speak, but he didn't know why his divine energy was boiling, as if he was being targeted by some great demon.

This Bull Demon... is just a Blood Replacing Warrior!

Once he transforms into the [Third Prince of Wrath], he can kill a whole bunch with one slap!

Why should he be afraid?

"Don't speak, come over," Li Che said coolly.

"Okay."

Lv Chi obediently took a few steps. Li Che, holding Xixi in one arm, patted Lv Chi's head with the other. "Not bad, your head is pretty big. It should be easy to twist."

Lv Chi: "..."

Xu You couldn't hold back his laughter.

Oh, the usually easy-going Li Che suddenly becoming protective was quite amusing.

Twisting heads... easy...

You, Li Che, have never killed anyone, but you sure know how to scare people.

...

...

Lv Chi was eventually taken to have a meal, though he didn't want to go.

But Li Che insisted on taking him.

After the meal, due to the heavy rain, Xixi and Lv Chi played in the courtyard. This was Xixi's first time bringing a friend home, and the little girl was very happy.

But Lv Chi felt that Li Che, sitting under the eaves and carving wood, was like a sculptor constantly measuring him with a knife.

Xu You talked to Li Che about the Divine Foundation Battle after the meal and then left to handle matters at the Xu family.

Although the Xu family didn't inform him of this major event, he was still a direct descendant and should help out.

Li Che didn't try to retain him, feeling sorry for Xu You as a direct descendant of the Xu family.

Xu You, Xu Beihu, and Xu He Li are half-brothers. Xu You's mother died early, and his father, the family head, didn't pay much attention to him. Xu You's Divine Talent was too low, and it was uncertain whether he could reach the 'Nurturing Nature Like a River' realm.

Moreover, Xu You's personality was too good and too honest. The more honest a child, the less attention their parents pay them.

Xu You's status in the Xu family was not high, and Li Che often felt sad for him.

Xu You left, and Lv Chi, staying overnight, felt that his only support in the small courtyard had collapsed.

Fortunately, Li Che didn't put on the cute bull mask that he used to kill without mercy.

Night fell.

The rain was heavy, and the clouds were so thick they seemed unbreakable.

Li Che gently put Xixi to sleep, gave his wife Zhang Ya her due, and arranged for the two of them to sleep.

He then got up and left the main bedroom, ensuring that all the traps were intact.

Li Che went to the study, changed into a black elastic suit in the dark, and carved out the cute bull mask, covering his face.

Putting on a hood, he vanished in a flash.

In the side room, Lv Chi, with his Nezha braid, sat on the bed, eyes closed, cultivating his divine energy. The neatly folded quilt that Zhang Ya had prepared for him remained untouched.

Suddenly, Lv Chi's eyes snapped open.

Boom!

Behind the thick clouds, lightning tore through the night sky.

Lv Chi looked at the suddenly opened window.

There, a figure in a black cloak stood.

The wind howled, and the air swirled.

The intermittent lightning...

Illuminated the dark and indistinct cute bull mask under the hood.
