If you don't give up, I'd like to be your adoptive father.

Chapter 219: Ghostly

After becoming "Daqin Shangzao" and leaving Hongxiufang, Xiaoyu lost her identity as "Hongxiufang's daughter". It became much more difficult for her to "call him dad and worship him as her adoptive father" as easily as before.

If she is shameless and insists on calling him "Daddy", more people will definitely fall into her trap.

She really doesn't care about her face, but her every move must be reasonable.

If it is unreasonable, others will speculate and study why it is unreasonable.

But she couldn't expose the secret of "Da Mie Ba" and let everyone think that "she really wants to call someone else her godfather."

But even if she stayed in Hongxiufang, she couldn't be a "daughter" for the rest of her life.

Just like the girls listed in Hongxiufang, it is impossible for them to be "girls" for their entire lives.

Daughter, girl, aunt, and nanny correspond to different ages and identities.

As you get older, your identity will change and your title will also change.

Once a woman becomes a "girl", no matter if she is a registered girl like Jinlian or a "prostitute" like Shaoyao, she can no longer call the guests "daddy".

Calling someone "Daddy" originated from folk custom: the imperial court abolished slavery and banned the trafficking of human beings. Not to mention the aristocratic families, even ordinary wealthy families among the people did not dare to break the law, so they came up with a workaround - slaves were adopted by their masters and their names were changed to "Daddy and Mom".

"Daughter" is equivalent to a servant, so she would call "Dad and Mom".

"Girl" has "daughter" to serve her, so she seldom calls guests "father and mother" like "daughter".

Therefore, whether Xiaoyu leaves Hongxiufang or not, he needs a more conventional way to pay homage to his godfather.

Well, Baiqiye doesn’t count.

Baiqiye is casting a wide net to target all the gods and Buddhas in the sky.

"I am not an immortal, so I cannot practice immortal arts for you like the two immortal masters before me. Fortunately, I met a 'ghost spirit' the other day."

Xiao Yu lifted the brocade-covered cage high with his left hand, pointed at it with his right hand, and said with a smile: "I don't know how this 'ghost spirit' was born. It doesn't look like a living thing, nor like a dead thing. It is very good at simulating changes.

I'll let it simulate my swordsmanship for everyone to see later.

If you can amuse everyone, please don't be stingy with your money, gods and distinguished guests!"

"What a clever little thing! Haha, let it come out and perform. I will reward it handsomely!" said Lao Shenxian with a big laugh.

"What is a ghost spirit?" Aunt Liu asked puzzledly.

"I think she's a mischievous spirit." Shaoyao complained, with a look of deep curiosity on her face.

All the distinguished guests around were just like them, confused and curious.

Even the few "immortal guests" sitting at the same table with Lao Shenxian showed expressions of surprise or inquiry.

"Ghost, come out!"

Xiaoyu whistled and tapped the cage gently.

"Whoosh~~~"

A black light flashed, and a palm-sized black fish pushed open the cage door, passed through the brocade veil, and came to Xiaoyu.

"Hey, this is..." Li Qianyue's eyes flashed, and he couldn't help but stand up from the chair.

"It looks like a magic sword?" Chi Lingzi asked in surprise.

The old farmer from Minshan said, "It is indeed the sword energy that has taken shape, but it does not look like a spiritual sword."

"What a superb swordsmanship! It's almost indistinguishable from the real thing." Master Hai Ling exclaimed.

The black fish was extremely agile, blinking its human-like eyes, circling Xiaoyu's body three times, then flying into the sky, suddenly expanding a thousand times, and turning into a three-meter-long giant black fish monster.

The demon god is no longer a black fish, it has a head, a face, a torso and limbs.

It is somewhat similar to Black Kong.

But if Black King Kong was here, he would feel that the demon god was somewhat similar to one of his godsons.

If you ask him to specifically say who his godson is, he probably won't be able to tell you.

This is the "monster" that Xiaoyu created after observing all the monsters, extracting the "essence of river monsters" and blending it with the "Black King Kong".

The "demon god" not only changed its appearance, but also exuded a terrifying "demon spirit"
In fact, the real momentum is not strong, but it is unusually "sharp".

Just a faint "demon spirit" drifting in the wind made everyone feel a cold pain from body to soul.

This kind of sharpness makes people have the illusion that the "demonic aura" that is not that strong is actually powerful.

"Wow, what is this?"

"Fish demon, what a terrifying aura, the Black Fish Demon King, this is the Black Fish Demon King!"

"Why is there a Black Fish Demon King? Didn't Yu Fengxian say 'ghost spirit'?"

"Don't make a fuss, this is the ghost elf's transformation. Oh my god, is this really a transformation? It feels like the demon god is real!"

"Roar~~~~~~"

Amid the crowd's exclamations, the demon god let out a long howl toward the sky, and a "steam wave" visible to the naked eye appeared from his mouth.

It is either an air wave or ripples caused by condensation of water vapor.

"What a strong divine will!" Li Qianyue's expression became solemn, "I still underestimated Yu Fengxian. She is not the best at divine will, she has pushed divine will to the limit.

In terms of swordsmanship alone, she must have surpassed Li Manman by more than a little bit."

"Swish!" The demon god moved.

It looks ugly and ferocious, but every move it makes has a natural charm.

The exclamations of the crowd gradually stopped, and many people showed an obsessed look, "Oh my God, what kind of swordsmanship is this, what a wonderful artistic conception, I seem to be pulled into a vast ocean, with high winds and rough waves, and a group of monsters fighting against the waves."

“It’s not just the artistic conception, it’s raining, it’s drizzling, the demon god’s artistic conception actually changed the celestial phenomena!”

Those who were not completely immersed in the demon god's artistic conception immediately discovered that the surrounding water vapor became extremely dense, and even formed fine raindrops that fell on their heads.

Their clothes and hair were wet, as if they had been soaked in the thick morning fog.

Chi Lingzi frowned slightly, feeling a little unhappy.

The full moon he projected into the sky disappeared.

The inspiration that maintained the illusion was shattered by the demon god's long roar to the sky.

——Did Yu Fengxian do it on purpose, or was it an accident? It must be a coincidence. How could a mortal like her understand my magic?
"This is a complete set of swordsmanship, the 'Water Demon Swordsmanship'? Who did she learn it from?" Master Hai Ling asked in amazement.

At this time, everyone was marveling at the Demon God. Except for Chi Lingzi himself, no one else noticed that the illusion of the full moon had disappeared.

"Wow~~~" the guests in the yard exclaimed again.

The demon god disappeared, and was replaced by a divine general wearing a silver helmet and silver armor. His body was somewhat transparent and glowed with a faint divine light.

"Is this the 'divine will of the talisman user'?" The talisman users in the distance were all stunned.

"No, it just looks like our Talisman Master, but damn her aura and charm! Damn Yu Fengxian, this is not imitating the divine will of the Talisman Master, it is the 'true intention of killing the Talisman Master and the gods'. Damn it, Yu Fengxian is too abominable."

The talisman master looked grim and couldn't help but take out the "Book of Good and Evil" again, wanting to make a note immediately.

"Alas, she didn't use the 'Vajra Zen Evil Method', this is pure martial arts divine will."

He sighed in frustration and put the "Heavenly Book" away again.

Xiaoyu has always been able to multitask.

She was practicing the sword art now, not fighting a strong enemy, so she didn't need to focus much on the "Qiao Shi Sword".

She was still secretly following the talisman user with her peripheral vision.

——What exactly is recorded in that booklet? When the demon gods were dancing wildly just now, the talisman master was indifferent. When the 'God-killing Heavenly General' came out, that guy was like being kicked in the balls. He immediately became furious and took out the "booklet". He wanted to record it very much, but in the end he didn't write anything. This shows that what was recorded in the booklet before must be very bad.

But why? Chi Lingzi is not a good guy, and even if Hai Ling is also an evil cultivator, he used a stool to transform into a giant insect, which was not against the law, so why should he be punished?
And me, I really didn't make any mistakes now, I shouldn't be punished. The talisman master hated the "God-killing Heavenly General" so much, but he still held back and didn't dare to write anything in the book. Master Hai Ling used a stool to turn into a big insect, was he really justified in his crime? Why?
While Xiaoyu was thinking, the Qiaoshi sword changed its appearance again.

The main god changed from the majestic and murderous "God-killing Heavenly General" to the "God of Flowers".

"Oh, so beautiful~~~" Everyone in the audience, both men and women, showed an intoxicated look.

"This is the real Guanghan Fairy, with a noble and elegant demeanor. Fairy, please take off your veil!!"

The god of flowers is as light as a startled swan and as graceful as a swimming dragon. His every move is elegant and beautiful to the extreme.

But she was wearing a veil, so people couldn't see her true face.

Xiao Yu ignored the shouting crowd and performed the Nine Flower Swords perfectly with a dance. The God of Flowers landed in front of her and bowed to the Immortal Lao on the second floor of the elegant pavilion.

"I, the servant 'Ghost Spirit', congratulate the immortal Lao for his eternal blessings and longevity."

Without waiting for Lao Shenxian to respond, she knelt down and saluted in all directions, "This little servant, the ghost spirit, also wishes all fathers and godmothers happiness every day like tonight, and may you live as long and blessed as Lao Shenxian!"

"Okay, okay, you're such a clever kid, give me a reward!" Lao Shenxian laughed and threw a handful of golden birthday coins downstairs.

"Little devil, lift up your veil and let daddy take a good look at you!" Some distinguished guests also joined in the fun.

"Ghost, are you a fairy from heaven? Dance for us again!"

——Hahaha, the "ghost spirit" can really trigger the great destruction of the father. It caught them all in one fell swoop and found more than 300 "godfathers" in one breath, and even a few "immortal guests". It's awesome!
Xiao Yu held back the ecstasy that was gushing out of her chest, continued to pinch her throat, and said tenderly and delicately: "Dear fathers and godmothers, this is the birthday celebration of the immortal Lao, not a dance floor for a little ghost maid.

I thank my father and godmother for their kindness.

When our master Yu Fengxian is free, you can invite her and ask her to let the little maid out to entertain everyone."

The "ghostly spirit" also specially blessed the "divine will of red apricots", and the big almond eyes immediately became moist and affectionate. Just one look made the hearts of men and women tremble.

Then with a "whoosh", the beauty turned into a beam of red light and fell into the cage in Xiaoyu's hand.

"Yu Fengxian is really clever!" Li Qianyue said to Wen Zhiruo with a smile, "Next month is my father's birthday, let her perform a 'Fantasy Sword Dance' as well."

The black girl said with a strange expression: "I see that she is thoroughly enjoying it, and even feels a little unsatisfied. She will definitely not refuse your invitation.

But she and your Li family have a 'Qingshui River Oath', so I'm afraid she can't leave Yingxiang Mansion easily."

"Oh, that's right." Li Qianyue showed a look of regret at first, then smiled and said: "But my birthday party can be held in Tianmen Town. Hehe, I will definitely invite 'Ghost Spirit' to appear at that time."

Of course they knew what a "ghost spirit" was, but they and the other guests around them did not think that the "ghost spirit" who called herself a "maid" and called others "master" was lowly and despicable.

On the contrary, I truly admire her and think that Yu Fengxian is quirky, elegant and interesting.

Just this one performance even made many people forget the ominous news of "Gambling on God's Will at the Yamen Gate" and felt that the shabby girl Yu Fengxian was very likable and they were willing to interact with her.
