As a Father, I Just Want to Watch You Achieve Immortality

"Dad... It hurts so much..."

Shangguan Qinglei was held in Shangguan Zhengheng’s arms, and his 5’7" frame seemed slightly comical when embraced.

But Shangguan Zhengheng’s heart was aching deeply.

"It’s okay, my precious son... Dad won’t let you suffer in vain!"

A cold, desolate light flitted across Shangguan Zhengheng’s eyes, along with an icy killing intent; he, Shangguan Zhengheng... had never suffered such a great loss before.

In the distance, at the location of the Qintian Observatory.

Shangguan Qinghong looked at this affectionate display between father and son with a sneer, her eyes filled with disappointment and disgust.

In her memory, Shangguan Zhengheng had never treated her so tenderly, and even as she had grown up, the number of times she had seen Shangguan Zhengheng were few and far between.

Her gaze turned to Xi Xi.

She knew Xi Xi had been angered because of Shangguan Qinglei’s repeated instances of calling her a "bastard."

However, Shangguan Qinghong had not expected Xi Xi to be so fierce...

"Interesting, that mechanism... seems like the one rumored to be mastered by the Bull Demon, the Tang Family Mechanism ’Wood Raven’ that can shoot explosive projectiles, an enhanced version of the Tang Family’s mechanisms."

Liu He stood by, squinting at the spectacle with a hint of admiration in his eyes.

"Such an impressive mechanical hidden weapon..."

"The rumors say that Li’s daughter Xi Xi is a descendant of the Bull Demon, and now it seems... it’s indeed the case. The Bull Demon was known for his expertise with hidden weapons."

Hai Chuanying beside him took a deep breath.

He couldn’t help but compare and simulate in his mind...

If the Spirit Child genius of the Hai Family, Hai Chao Sheng, faced Xi Xi armed with such mechanical hidden weapons, could he win?

The conclusion was discouraging to him.

He couldn’t win, not at all...

Although Hai Chao Sheng had achieved Bone Tempering Completion at the age of seven, given Shangguan Qinglei’s performance, at most it would just prolong the fight by a few breaths.

The final outcome would not be much better than Shangguan Qinglei’s.

The explosive power of that "Wood Raven," just a single shot had enough power to disrupt the Bone Tempering circulation of qi and blood. And that Xi Xi... had over a hundred shots...

It was equivalent to a hundred Bone-Tempered individuals launching a simultaneous attack.

Bone Tempering Completion... couldn’t block it!

Even an ordinary Three Transfers of Blood Change might not survive, unless one had forged a Divine Foundation, using the powerful Divine Power to resist. Explore more stories with empire

"I admit... I was wrong."

Hai Chuanying took another deep breath.

"Three years old is also an age not to be underestimated."

...

...

In the family seats.

Li Che’s smile was harder to suppress than aim the Immortal Work Barrett, a satisfied gleam appeared in his eyes.

As expected of Li Che’s daughter, those fireworks she set off...

They were quite up to his standard!

Although her accuracy was still lacking, many of the techniques for setting off fireworks were quite rough, and she had difficulty with the steady pressure control of the "Immortal Artisan Gatling." This was still the weakened version of the Immortal Artisan Gatling. If it were the Bull Demon’s version, a few shots might have fallen apart Xi Xi’s delicate frame. ȒÀ�

Li Che never stopped improving and upgrading the "Namo Immortal Artisan Gatling" and "Namo Immortal Artisan Barrett."

The main upgrade was the "Wood Raven," and the carrying mechanisms naturally had to be upgraded as well.

By his side, Zhang Ya clung to Li Che’s arm, utterly bewildered and questioning life as she watched their three-year-old daughter on the stage, brandishing the mechanism, unstoppable in her ferocity.

Is this Zhang Ya’s daughter?

She turned to glance at her husband and, realizing his identity as the Bull Demon, suddenly felt a sense of clarity.

However, she also had some worries troubling her heart.

"Husband… do you think... Xi Xi is too violent?"

Zhang Ya looked at Li Che, her voice lowered to a whisper as she asked.

"Violent? Not at all... Didn’t she stop before killing Shangguan Qinglei?"

"How can that be considered violent?"

"Besides, a girl should have some ability to protect herself, so she won’t be bullied in the future."

Li Che was unconcerned.

Where was the violence when Xi Xi was clearly so gentle?

If it were up to him, Shangguan Qinglei would already be a pile of corpses, the kind with his Qiankun Jade plundered.

Compared to him, Xi Xi was far too gentle.

Zhang Ya immediately fell silent; after all, discussing violence with her husband seemed a bit like preaching to the choir.

Li Che patted his wife’s hand, his gaze falling on Shangguan Zhengheng below the stage, who was attempting to suppress Xi Xi with his imposing aura. His eyes narrowed slightly.

Bullying the young, a distinguished Void Aspect expert... actually planning to use his Void Aspect aura to oppress a three-year-old child.

Are you even human?!

Fiend!

Li Che’s notebook, long kept hidden, was silently taken out, and he jotted down Shangguan Zhengheng’s name in it.

This grudge was noted!

The intervention of Li Qingshan and Zhang Qing Zheng, protecting Xi Xi together, prevented him from taking further action.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

After Zhang Qing Zheng announced the end of the first segment with Xi Xi’s top-grade score, Li Qingnian carried Xi Xi back to Li Che and the others.

"Mommy—!"

The moment she returned, Xi Xi immediately burrowed into Zhang Ya’s embrace, her head snuggling restlessly.

"Xi Xi was so scared, terrified Xi Xi..."

Xi Xi lamented pitifully.

Zhang Ya quickly fumbled to comfort her: "Xi Xi, my treasure, are you feeling uncomfortable anywhere? Tell Mommy, let me check!"

Zhang Ya inspected Xi Xi, her face showing deep compassion.

So young and yet having to compete on the stage with older children by an entire generation, how hard it must be.

"That Shangguan Qinglei is so ugly and scary, Xi Xi was so afraid. Xi Xi wants to eat braised pork, the big pieces, Mommy should cook it!"

Xi Xi continued to snuggle against Zhang Ya, and opportunistically put forward her own conditions.

"Alright, alright, after we get home, Mommy will cook it for you."

Zhang Ya caressed Xi Xi’s head, saying tenderly.

"Mommy is the best, I love Mommy."

Xi Xi’s little face kept rubbing against Zhang Ya’s long legs.
