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

Chapter 259 Making Dumplings for Vinegar

"Sworn brotherhood?"

Xiaoyu's proposal was beyond everyone's expectations. Even Prince Fu was stunned for a moment, and then his expression twisted.

"Since you know you are young, why do you still have the nerve to call yourself the 'big sister'?" Tushan Taibao said angrily.

——So what you care about is who is the big brother, rather than sworn brotherhood and clearing up misunderstandings?
Prince Fu and Li Xianzhi looked at each other, each with different thoughts in their minds.

Prince Fu breathed a sigh of relief: This conflict was at least over temporarily, and as for the future, leaving his blessed land would have nothing to do with him or the Li family.

Li Xianzhi is young after all.

Even though he was happy about the success and the smooth talk, he now looked down on Tuoshan Taibao. He thought that the old bastard was too cowardly and should at least struggle a few times.

"When I say 'shamelessly', it's just a humble way of saying it. To put it bluntly, whoever has the stronger fist is the boss. Obviously, I have the sharper sword."

Xiaoyu also understood that Tuoshan Taibao was a coward, so he started to speak impolitely.

"You're just lucky! We are all water monsters, and it's inconvenient for us to move on land, so we can't use many magical skills.

If we were in the water, I guarantee you wouldn’t even be able to see my shadow.”

Since everyone has started discussing who will be the boss, Tushan Taibao certainly has the courage to shout excitedly.

Xiao Yu thought about it carefully and nodded, "Perhaps you are right. If we were in the water, my Yin Feng Sword Escape Technique would be completely useless and my combat effectiveness would be greatly reduced. But now we are on the hillside, not in the river."

That day in Howling Bay, even Xia Jieshi's "water arrow technique" could hurt her.

She did not worship these river monsters as her godfathers, and had no idea what secret techniques they were good at.

If she confronts him head-on in the river, she will probably suffer a great loss.

After all, she has not yet practiced any body-building techniques and is a glass cannon.

Of course, she also understood the truth that knowing yourself and your enemy will ensure victory in every battle.

Never rush over and confront them head-on without understanding their magical powers and techniques.

If she really enters the river, she will make sure that they can't even touch her shadow: if she can fly a kite, she will fly a kite, stretch out the battle line and defeat them one by one; if she has no chance, she will just run away or return to the shore and wait for them to come ashore.

They were the ones who wanted to chase her, not her alone. As long as they were not ambushed, she could decide where the battlefield would be.

Tuoshan Taibao opened his mouth and was about to say a few more excited words.

But after searching carefully in my head, I couldn't find any words to refute it.

He could only turn his head to look at Li Xianzhi.

Li Xianzhi smiled and said, "Since we are sworn brothers, loyalty comes first. It doesn't matter who is the elder brother and who is the elder sister.

Taibao, Xiao Fengxian is only 12 years old, she is indeed young, you should be more tolerant of her and let her be the elder sister for once, how about that? "

Tuoshan Taibao glared at him fiercely with his eyes as big as eggs.

That wasn't the look he gave her just now.

He asked Li Xianzhi to persuade her not to be so aggressive. A dignified guardian of the River God's Mansion was willing to become sworn brothers with a mere mortal. Even if it was just a temporary gesture, it was a great blessing to her and a huge shame to him. She was still not satisfied and dared to dream of the position of "Big Sister"?
Li Xianzhi was a little impatient and said, "Taibao, from now on you will live in Liusha River and Xiao Fengxian will live in Tianmen Town. You two may not see each other for several years.

The Li family and Xiao Fengxian had an agreement that ten years later, she would go to the Dongsha region, or to the upper state of China.

After today, next time I want to call you "Big Sister" affectionately, I don't know how many years it will be. What are you worried about?"

Tuoshan Taibao was still unhappy.

Xiao Yu narrowed her eyes and said calmly: "Tushan, you are a smart person, you must understand why we are sworn brothers.

Now that you won't even call me 'big sister', I'm beginning to doubt whether our brotherhood can clear up the misunderstandings between you and me.

If the misunderstanding cannot be cleared up, there is no need to become sworn brothers.

I don’t like wasting time and energy on meaningless things.”

Feeling the murderous intent in her eyes, Tuoshan Taibao shuddered and said quickly: "Let's be sworn brothers. You are young, so I will give in to you. You are the elder and I am the younger."

Xiao Yu turned from anger to joy and said with a smile: "You shout first so I can hear it."

"Big sister!" Tuoshan Taibao said with difficulty.

"You seem reluctant?" Xiaoyu's smile faded.

"Big sister, it's not forced at all." After the first call, the rest became much smoother.

Xiao Yu sighed, "Brother, you know my situation. If I swear to the Emperor of Heaven, Heaven will surely respond. If you swear with me, God will surely hear it."

Tuoshan Taibao's face changed drastically.

Li Xianzhi and Prince Fu also showed complex expressions mixed with surprise and admiration.

They were surprised that she dared to provoke the Emperor of Heaven, and admired her for taking the "danger" of attracting the Emperor's attention and dragging Tuoshan Taibao into the water.

If the two of them swore to the Emperor of Heaven together that they would love each other from now on and never harm each other, Tuoshan Taibao would definitely not dare to break the oath.

"There is no need to swear to the Emperor of Heaven. We can change a witness, such as the Dragon Kings of the Four Seas. It will be the same if we swear to the Dragon Kings." Tuoshan Taibao said sincerely.

Even if he sincerely wanted to be her younger brother, he did not want to swear an oath to the Emperor of Heaven, because the Emperor of Heaven might really be watching her.

Even if they swore to the Dragon Kings of the Four Seas, they might not pay any attention to them even if they heard it.

"Don't be impatient, just listen to me." Xiao Yu's eyes and expression were also very sincere, "Although I firmly believe that the oath witnessed by the Emperor of Heaven will definitely be effective for you, but my sworn brotherhood with you is not aimed at you, but at the River God.

It doesn't matter what oath you make or what attitude you have.

What is important is the attitude of the River God.

As long as he recognizes our friendship, there is no need to swear to any gods or Buddhas. There is no need to drink marriage wine or cut off chicken heads or burn yellow paper.

Brother, do you understand my good intentions?

Tuoshan Taibao wanted to yell: Yu Fengxian, don’t look down on me. If I break my oath, I can take your life without my ancestors’ help!

"You want your ancestors to swear an oath?"

"No, how dare I ask the River God to swear an oath? Besides, you and I have become sworn brothers, so what's the point of asking the River God to swear an oath?"

Xiao Yu waved his hand and said with a smile: "My request is very simple, as long as the River God recognizes our brotherhood."

Tuoshan Taibao thought for a moment and said, "When we become sworn brothers, we must burn a contract to heaven and earth to show that 'heaven and earth are witnesses'.

How about sending the deed to the River God's Mansion and having the ancestors sign and seal it before sending it back? "

Xiao Yu hesitated for a while and said, "This is like threatening the River God. Why don't we bow to the river and burn a petition to the River God? If the River God agrees, we can just send a message back."

"Okay, let's do it!"

Although the methods are similar, her method is indeed more respectful to the River God Palace, and Tuoshan Taibao immediately nodded in agreement.

Li Xianzhi arranged for people to clean up the bodies and sent the only survivor, Dulong Jieshi, to the villa to recuperate. He then led the two to the study to prepare to write a petition.

"I can only show my sincerity if I write it myself." Xiaoyu volunteered.

Tuoshan Taibao hesitated for a moment and said, "I'll write one too."

He was worried that the river god would not receive her petition, or was unwilling to check it.

"Alright!"

Xiaoyu picked up the brush and prepared to write.

The moment the pen tip touched the yellow paper, she seemed to have just reacted and asked hurriedly, "How should I address the River God?

Now that you and I have become sworn brothers, it doesn't seem too intimate to call each other priests.

Why don’t I call you what you want me to call you?

By the way, you call the River God 'old ancestor'? How many generations of his descendants are you?"

"'Old Ancestor' is just a respectful title. In fact, I am the ninth son of the River God!" Tuoshan Taibao said proudly.

——It is true!
Xiaoyu was happy.

Black King Kong once mentioned inadvertently that Huangsha Xiaosheng was the fifth-generation grandson of the River God, and the great-great-grandson.

At that time, she didn't take the information seriously at all. She just sighed in her heart that the river god really gave birth to a litter of turtles.

But once combined with the way Tushan Taibao addressed Huangsha Xiaosheng - "great-grandson", it became the main reason why she took the initiative to propose to become sworn brothers with him!
Xiaoyu smiled and said, "Then write 'Dear godfather'."

She picked up her pen and started writing.

For this dish of vinegar, she went to the market, bought meat, chopped the stuffing, seasoned it, and rolled out the noodles. It took her a lot of effort to finally make this plate of dumplings!
Tuoshan Taibao opened his mouth and was about to retort, "Our sworn brotherhood has nothing to do with my father," but then he saw her continue writing: Lord River God, please forgive me. Yu Fengxian and your ninth son have sworn brotherhood, which has nothing to do with you, River God, but etiquette cannot be abolished. The title of "adoptive father" is only to express respect, and there is no intention to curry favor. Accepting this title is simply to acknowledge the sworn brotherhood between Yu Fengxian and Tuoshan Taibao. Heaven and earth can bear witness to this.
Tuoshan Taibao was relieved.

I rewrote it according to her petition.

Liusha River, River God’s Palace.

"Master, something happened~~"

Before Xiaoyu wrote the petition, the "Shit-skinned" Gongcao God had already returned to the River God's Mansion, came before the River God, and quickly recounted the whole story.

The river god is quite magnanimous and shrewd.

Even when he heard Yu Fengxian slaughtering the officials of the River God's Mansion like slaughtering pigs and dogs, only anger and murderous intent flashed in his eyes, and he did not slam the table and roar like Tuoshan Taibao.

When Shiguangpi said that Yu Fengxian could obviously kill Tuoshan Taibao, but showed mercy and let him go, a thoughtful look appeared in the river god's bright eyes.

Finally, when he heard that Yu Fengxian wanted to become sworn brothers with Tuoshan Taibao, the river god, who looked like a hunchbacked old man, laughed.

Slightly cold, but not completely a sneer.

"Yu Fengxian, I underestimated her."

After a moment of silence, he sighed again and said, "I overestimated Tuoshan. Before he left, I specifically told him that Yu Fengxian is a plague god and stinking dog shit, so he should not be easily contaminated.

He asked her to come to the River God's Mansion, asked her about the Black Fish Army, and then gave her some treasures and let her go.
If he was willing to talk nicely, why would Yu Fengxian take the initiative to offend the River God Mansion? "

He did say these words at that time: If Yu Fengxian was willing to honestly explain the secret of the Black Fish Army Formation and cooperate with the River God Mansion to fish out the Black King Kong and execute the Black King Kong, then he would give her some treasures and let her go back.

If Black King Kong can kill Yellow Sand Saint with the Single Black Fish Formation, he can kill more than half of the guards under his command. Especially after Black King Kong devoured Yellow Sand Saint, his demonic power skyrocketed and his strength must be even stronger.

He is the river god and has to stay in the Liusha River. It is impossible for him to personally drill into the underground water veins to look for Black King Kong.

In order to mobilize the Taibao and the Heshenfu Jieshi, we must first break the Black King Kong's Bachelor Black Fish Formation.

Otherwise, if you encounter Black King Kong, there will definitely be heavy casualties.

But if Yu Fengxian refuses to cooperate honestly, she will have no say once she enters the River God's Mansion.

This is what he said to Tuoshan at that time. There was only coldness in his tone, and he did not show any respect for Yu Fengxian at all.

Tuoshan Taibao was impulsive and irritable, but he did not completely misinterpret the river god's meaning.

However, Yu Fengxian now used the lives of the Thirteen Guardians of the River God's Mansion and Tuoshan Taibao to prove that her beheading of the gods at the yamen and killing Chi Lingzi and Hu Tianjun were not luck, and then severely slapped the faces of those who had previously thought that she was "strong and lucky".

The river god was unwilling to admit that he had been slapped in the face, so he could only let Tuoshan Taibao be a "disobedient and reckless man".
