"Uh..." Taotie tilted his little head and thought hard.

Shu Xiyao couldn't help but rub his bangs because of his serious look: "Have you figured it out?"

“Gurgle—”

Taotie's stomach rumbled again, and he asked pitifully, "I'm not full yet, can I have another meal?"

"sure."

Shu Xiyao readily ordered his men to prepare another large table of dishes.

It happened that the elders had not eaten yet, so the cook brought all the elders' meals to Shu Xiyao's room.

Shu Xiyao only ate half a bowl of rice, while the glutton had already eaten up a large table of dishes and a large pot of rice, leaving only a small dish for Shu Xiyao to enjoy.

Taotie looked at the last dish and swallowed his saliva.

Shu Xiyao didn't know whether to laugh or cry, so he put down his bowl and chopsticks and said, "I'm full, you eat."

"Are you really full?" Taotie looked at him hesitantly.

Shu Xiyao hummed: "I'm really full."

Taotie quickly finished the last dish on the table and the half bowl of rice left by Shu Xiyao.

Shu Xiyao asked: "Have you been hungry for several days?"

"No." Taotie took out a handkerchief and wiped his mouth: "I just have a big appetite."

Shu Xiyao raised his eyebrows in surprise: "That's really big."

Taotie stuffed the handkerchief back into his arms and said, "I understand."

"Know what?"

Shu Xiyao poured a glass of water for both of them.

"I know how to repay you."

"Oh?" Shu Xiyao took a sip of water and asked with interest, "How are you going to repay me?"

Taotie jumped onto the chair, put his hands on his hips and said, "I want to be your godfather."

Shu Xiyao was stunned: "Did I hear it wrong? Or did you say it wrong?"

"You heard it right, and I didn't say it wrong either." Taotie raised his head proudly: "I want to be your adoptive father, and you will be my godson in the future."

Shu Xiyao: “…”

He shouldn't have expected too much from a child.

The other party is just a little brat who doesn't know what repaying a favor means. It seems that he is here to take revenge.

Taotie urged him: "Call me godfather quickly."

Shu Xiyao rubbed his head: "Why do you want to be my adoptive father? Why do you think being my adoptive father is a way of repaying a favor?"

Taotie said seriously: "Because a foster father can protect his children, take care of the business for them, and there are many other benefits."

This is what Jiuying's adoptive father, the Lord of Rakshasa Palace, said, saying that being Jiuying's adoptive father is equivalent to repaying a favor.

Shu Xiyao was somewhat speechless: "Do you know what a foster father is?"

Taotie nodded his head: "Of course I know, it means that a person who is not related to me by blood has become my father and son."

Shu Xiyao said patiently, "You are only right about one thing. Another thing is that if he is a father, he must be older than his godson. Do you think it is reasonable for me to call someone who can be my son my godfather?"

"I am older than you. Grandma Jingling said that we have lived for tens of thousands of years. We are already very old. It is only after rebirth that we become children."

Shu Xiyao just thought it was just childish talk: "Are you full? If you are full, go back to your parents."

"You don't believe me." Taotie pouted angrily: "You will definitely regret it. You don't know how much benefit it will bring to me to be your godfather."

Shu Xiyao laughed: "How much benefit can it bring?"

If people knew that a cult leader called a two or three-year-old child his godfather, he would definitely be laughed at.

That would only bring shame, how could there be any benefit?

"I can protect you."

Shu Xiyao raised his eyebrows: "How can you protect me?"

"I am so powerful that no one in the mortal world dares to bully you. Even if I can't protect you, I can still ask your uncles, uncles and aunts to protect you."

Shu Xiyao: “…”

He hasn't acknowledged him as his godfather yet.

So I got him a bunch of uncles, aunts and cousins.

Seeing that his words did not impress the other party, Taotie thought for a moment and said, "Can I still teach you how to cultivate immortality?"

Shu Xiyao was puzzled: "What is cultivation?"

"The immortals are much more powerful than you martial artists. They can fly into the sky and hide underground..."

"Flying into the sky and hiding in the ground?" Shu Xiyao thought of Wu Yuan. Can't he fly with a sword?

Could it be that the other party is so powerful only because he is a cultivator? Is Mu Nanjin also a cultivator?

Shu Xiyao pointed to the hole in the ground and said, "You came out from underground. Are you also a cultivator?"

"Yes, cultivating immortals can also control the wind and rain..."

"Call the wind and call the rain?" Shu Xiyao asked him, "Does he call the wind and call the rain like the Imperial Master?"

"National Master?" Taotie asked, "Are you talking about Feng Sinon?"

"Yes, it's him." Shu Xiyao frowned and said, "From your tone, it seems like you know him."

Taotie nodded: "Feng Sinon is a cultivator, and he is also my father."

"Your father?" Shu Xiyao's eyes widened: "Is he really your father?"

"Yeah, is there a problem?"

Shu Xiyao: “…”

This is a big problem.

If he recognized the little brat as his godfather, wouldn't his national teacher become his godfather? This relationship was unbearable.

Shu Xiyao stroked his forehead and said, "Can I cultivate immortality even if I don't acknowledge you as my adoptive father?"

He is particularly interested in cultivating immortals. Perhaps one day, he will be as powerful as Mu Nanjin and the others.

"Ah? Can't I be your godfather?" Taotie was very disappointed.

"Your father and mother don't want to have a grandson as old as me." Shu Xiyao rubbed his little head: "Teach me how to cultivate immortality, and that's how I repay you."

"Then..." Taotie still felt it was a pity that he lost a foster son who could call him foster father: "Okay then?"

Shu Xiyao secretly breathed a sigh of relief and asked anxiously: "Then how do I cultivate immortality?"

"The prerequisite for cultivating immortals is to have spiritual roots. I need to test your spiritual roots."

“How to test it?”

Then, Shu Xiyao saw Taotie open his mouth wide.

The mouth was even bigger than the door, and he was swallowed up before he could even react with shock.

The whole person fell into darkness, but soon the light returned.

He looked at the beautiful and lovely child in front of him, as if everything that happened before was just an illusion.

Taotie said happily: "As expected of my adopted son, you actually have a natural spiritual root, that is, a single water spiritual root. Your cultivation speed will be very fast in the future."

Shu Xiyao: “…”

He had already refused to be his adoptive father, but the other party still called him his adopted son.

Shu Xiyao decided to ignore the other party's words and asked: "What is a water spirit root?"

Taotie spent an hour simply explaining spiritual roots and cultivation methods, and then he felt hungry again.

Shu Xiyao ordered people to prepare twenty tables of food, and then went to practice according to the method told by Taotie.

It took him one night to draw the energy into his body and successfully stepped into the threshold of spiritual cultivation. When he opened his eyes, he immediately felt that his body was different from before. His five senses were sharper than before, his physique was better than before, and his martial arts level had advanced to a higher level.

He said happily: "Is this the benefit of cultivating immortality? Then will I be able to fly into the sky and call the wind and rain one day?"

I get really excited when I think about this possibility.

Thank you Victoria_CA for the reward, muah
