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

Chapter 434: Another Visit
"Old Man Bai, what kind of path are you practicing now?" Xiao Yu asked.

“If God blesses me and I can be granted the immortal certificate and become an immortal official, I will be very satisfied. I dare not hope for the ‘great way’.” The old man smiled bitterly and shook his head.

——What I’m asking is whether you major in great supernatural powers or celestial immortal methods. You’re answering the wrong question here!

Xiao Yu was dissatisfied, but did not continue to ask, "You can live for 10,000 years, which is already considered an immortal."

The old man shook his head and said, "Yes, I have lived for nearly ten thousand years, but it is difficult for me to live another ten thousand years."

Xiao Yu asked: "Is it a problem with the immortal method you are practicing?"

The old man said: "It's not entirely a problem with the immortal method. The fact that I'm an alien is a bigger problem.

In fact, with my current level of Taoism and magic, I can continue to live for a hundred thousand years, or even hundreds of thousands of years, without any problem.

But God doesn't allow aliens to survive easily.

It won’t be long before God will send down a calamity to ‘test’ me.”

The old man's eyes flashed, and he said quietly: "I am staying in Tianmen Town temporarily because of the chaos of the Thirty-Six Kingdoms, and also because I want to survive the disaster in East Shu."

Stay in Shudong to survive the disaster.
Xiao Yu's heart moved, and she thought of what the Taoist Dog Meat said that day: If she didn't "borrow" the blessing from Su Xipo, it would benefit the Qingqiu fox.

Previously, she thought that the vixen who coveted Su Xipo's blessings was Su Xipo's current wife.

But when they arrived at Baijiazhuang, they saw a nest of foxes.

She knew that although Bai Zhulian had some talent, she was not the "star of hope" of the Bai family.

If someone really encounters a lucky chance and comes across some big piece of fat meat, it would not be the turn of a junior like Bai Zhulian to enjoy it.

The person who really needs Su Xipo's blessing is most likely an old fox.

Bai Zhulian, this little vixen, is only used to offset cause and effect.

Or in other words, using the white pearl curtain to buy the blessing of Suxipo?
The dog-meat Taoist priest asked her to use the blessings of Suxipo to ward off the "heavenly calamity". The old fox also needed blessings to overcome the heavenly calamity.

The more Xiaoyu thought about it, the more she felt that she had touched the truth.

"Not only alien species need to survive the catastrophe, but human immortals will also encounter the 'three disasters'," she said.

The old man shook his head and said, "Each robbery is different.

What I have to go through is not the tribulation of becoming an immortal, but it can be considered as the tribulation of becoming an immortal, but it is not the tribulation of becoming a celestial immortal.

What I mean by 'attaining the Tao' is ascending to heaven, being granted the immortal certificate, and becoming an immortal official in heaven.

If you stay in the human world and do whatever you want, you will be like the seven fairies in the Black Water River in Hengyang Valley.

It is only a matter of time before you are punished by heaven and earth.

Even if you are careful and cautious all your life, have great magical powers, and avoid heavenly calamities, you cannot live as long as heaven and will die of old age sooner or later.

Only the immortal elixir can bring immortality.

The celestial immortals only produce 'returning elixirs', not to mention the so-called 'demon immortals' in the mortal world, whose demon elixirs are impure and mixed.

With the immortal seal and being conferred the title of immortal official, even if one does not have the elixir of immortality, one can still live as long as the heaven.

This old man has practiced Taoism for ten thousand years. If I can survive one more heavenly tribulation, I will have hope of praying to the heaven for the "Immortal Talisman".

But 'living as long as the sky' is not the most important thing.

Fairy Yu, do you know what the greatest benefit of 'attaining the Tao and ascending to heaven' is?"

Xiao Yu shook his head and said, "I haven't even seen the shadow of the 'Huandan' yet, I really don't know what the benefit of ascending is."

"The biggest benefit is that we aliens will no longer be the beasts despised by the immortals, and will no longer be hunted and killed at will by the masters." The white old man sighed.

Xiao Yu looked yearning and asked, "Since you can express such emotion, I guess in the country of China where you originally lived, there were no monsters devouring the people in the city. Instead, the monsters and fairies lived cautiously?"

The old man was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "Fairy Yu is indeed very sharp-minded. The Southern Continent is indeed different from the Western Continent.

In Jambu Continent, the human race’s status as the protagonist of the world is unquestionable.

Although there are cases of evil spirits causing misfortune and loss of people, there has never been a big demon that massacred a city or destroyed a country.

At least in peaceful times, demons and evil spirits mostly hide in deep mountains and swamps and dare not come to the human kingdom to commit evil.

In fact, today's Xiniu Hezhou is much worse than in ancient times, let alone in ancient times.

When I was young, I also traveled to the four continents.

In just ten thousand years, the situation of the human race in Xiniu Hezhou has undergone a drastic change.

The human race is indeed the protagonist of the world born with destiny.

Ten thousand years have passed, but the big monster has no effect. It is like a nap, but the world has changed.

Alas, the human race is developing too fast, so fast that the old demons can hardly keep up with the times."

Old Man Bai himself has lived for nearly ten thousand years and has witnessed the changes in the world with his own eyes, and he has been deeply touched.

Ten thousand years ago, there were even big monsters lurking in the east of Shu.

Not to mention big cities like Tianmen Town and Yingxiang Prefecture, even the villages nearby are sparsely populated.

And most of the villages are savage tribes.

Only ten thousand years.

To Old Man Bai himself, it seemed that in just the time of “a generation of great demons”, the world in the Xisha region had completely changed and became like the great Chinese nation.

Now, Yu Fengxian felt that it was unbelievable that the big monster dared to devour the living people of an entire city in the Xisha region.

But in the old man Bai's opinion, it was unbelievable that the big monster in Xiniu Hezhou ate people so carefully, fearfully and with great difficulty.

"Cock, cluck, cluck~~~" The rooster crows and the world becomes bright. It is now the middle of winter, and it is still pitch black outside.

However, the crowing of the rooster does mean that the darkness of the night is about to pass.

Xiao Yu put down his teacup with a reluctant look on his face, stood up from his chair, bowed to the old fox, and said, "Thank you for the hospitality, Father Bai. It's getting light now, so I should say goodbye and go home."

There was a flash of admiration in the old man's eyes.

In the human home, the sun sets and it is getting late. If the host does not specifically ask him to stay, a polite guest should take the initiative to leave.

The home of ghosts and foxes reverses yin and yang, and is active at night while daytime is like night.

The crowing of the rooster indicates that the sun is about to rise, which means that it is getting late and it is time to say goodbye to the guests.

Especially when the guest is a stranger.

After talking all night, the old man knew that this was her first time visiting the Fox House, and no one must have told her about these rules before.

But she learned it by herself.

"Fairy Yu, please wait a moment."

He stood up to return the greeting, then invited her to sit down again, and said seriously, "After chatting tonight, I admire the fairy's knowledge and generosity. I can't help but have a fantasy in my heart. I hope to become a godparent with Fairy Yu. I wonder what the fairy thinks?"

"Become my foster father?" Xiao Yu pointed at himself and said in surprise, "It is a great honor for Xiao Yu to be able to worship you as my foster father.

But doesn't Old Man Bai know about my deeds? You have great ambitions, and it's not very rational to get involved with the younger generation."

How could she, a person who believes that anyone can be her father, mind a fox fairy godfather?
She had a liking for the old fox, and knew that he was aiming to become an immortal and would soon have to survive a heavenly tribulation.

If he got involved with her at this time, the calamity from heaven might kill him directly.

But if the old fox is confident and insistent, she will definitely not refuse and will immediately kneel down to worship her adoptive father.

The old man waved his hand and said, "I regard the fairy as a friend of equal status, how dare I ask to be the fairy's adoptive father?
What I mean is that you and I are friends on an equal footing.

And among the children of my Bai family, I wonder which one will be lucky enough to become the god's adopted son."

"Oh, let the son of the Bai family become my godparents." Xiao Yu was not happy in his heart, and showed a difficult look on his face. "I am honored to be valued by the senior, but I am secretly ecstatic.

But Xiaoyu knows what's good for her.

How dare Xiaoyu, at the tender age of thirteen, claim to be the godmother of all the brothers and sisters?"

Well, she doesn't mind being someone else's godson, and she's even happy to do so.

Asking her to accept someone as her godson and herself as the godmother, she feels like she is being taken advantage of.

The old man looked at her and said sincerely, "Since you treat me as a friend regardless of age difference, I am not afraid of making a fool of myself.

Although the Bai family has many people, each generation is weaker than the previous one.

Soon, I will have to survive the calamity. If I fail, I will die and be done with it.

Even if I succeed and have the honor of being promoted to a celestial fox, I will have to stay in heaven and serve the gods there.

At present, apart from me, no one else in the Bai family has the hope of achieving enlightenment.

I hope that the children of the Bai family can become godparents to the fairy, and I truly want to curry favor with her.

The fairy is extremely righteous and strict with herself, and has the demeanor of a sage.

I have lived a long life and have seen the so-called sages of the ancient times.

Just like tonight, I had a candlelight chat with them at night.

They all live up to the title of saints and sages, and I admire and respect them.

But there are also differences among saints and sages, and Fairy Yu is one of the best among them.

Even if you are just a mortal, it is a great fortune for the Bai family to have a disciple of the Bai family become your disciple.

What's more, your talent in Taoism is rare in the world.

I have concluded that celestial immortals and golden immortals are not the limits of fairies.

Today, the Bai family has accepted you as their stepmother. You will definitely benefit greatly from this in the future, and may even be able to attain enlightenment as an alien."

Xiao Yu blushed and waved her hands repeatedly, saying, "Dad Bai, this bowl of magic soup is extremely delicious. I really hope it is real, but unfortunately I know myself well."

"This is what I really think." The old man said solemnly, "Foxes are good at divination and can communicate with heaven and earth. I am about to be promoted to the realm of heavenly fox, and I trust my feelings very much."

——If you are really good at face reading and fortune telling, how can you not see that what we care about is not just nice words? If you want to get married, bring some real benefits!

As Xiao Yu was about to murmur in his heart, the old man immediately reached into his arms, fumbled for a moment, and took out a Qilin jade pendant.

The jade pendant was as big as an adult's palm, and its color could not be seen clearly for a moment.

Because the candlelight fell on it, it flickered with colorful light, and the light was very dazzling.

The old man's face twitched slightly, and he handed the jade pendant to Xiao Yu, saying, "This is an ancient spiritual jade that has been passed down for hundreds of millions of years. There is a 'Sky Fox Magic' inside it.

Although it is not a great magical power, it explains the basic principles of the 'Thousand Transformations of the Spirit Fox', the great magical power of the Heavenly Fox.

Fairy Yu, please have mercy on my kindness and accept it as a gift."

After becoming godparents, it is only natural for the younger generation to give gifts to the elders during festivals.

However, it is very rare for younger generations to give gifts to their elders during the ceremony of visiting relatives.

Generally, it is the elders who give gifts.

Xiaoyu was a little frightened: Could it be that the old fox was really able to predict the future and heard what she was thinking?
But ever since she saw the old fox on the path in the Wutong forest, she has started to enter the "mirror-like heart mode"!

Well, she didn't even think about her own face.

Even an old fox doesn't need to calculate to guess that she is a person who won't release the eagle until she sees the rabbit.

"Hey, if the senior has given an order, I should obey it. Why do you have to give such a valuable gift?"

Xiaoyu tried to refuse quickly - she reached out to push the jade pendant away, but the old fox took the opportunity to stuff the jade pendant into her hand.

"This is a marriage gift, a great gift, fairy, please do not refuse it."

The old fox looked serious, as if her refusal would be disrespectful and a lack of respect for the Bai family.

Xiaoyu was helpless and had to hold the jade pendant in her hand, holding it tightly.
