Why do you always want to be my Taoist partner?

Logically speaking, the two sisters are of the same blood, so their relationship shouldn't be so awkward. The only difference Jiang Li remembered was their luck and the difference in swordsmanship.

"You'll see her tonight." Jiang Li said softly.

The secret realm will end tonight, and the two will leave the secret realm. When Zhu Taozhi heard his words, the smile on her face gradually froze. She suddenly realized that time passed so quickly. She felt that not much time had passed, but it seemed like noon in the secret realm.

Jiang Li caught a lot of fish. He picked out two of the fattest ones to grill, and put the rest into the system backpack so he could give them to Dabai as food when he got back.

..............................

"You look a little uneasy." Jiang Li reached out and rubbed Zhu Taozhi's head.

"Because my sister definitely wouldn't want me to go to Wanhua Valley with you. She might even deliberately make things difficult for you when she sees you."

"Even if you two have a bad relationship, she wouldn't be like this, right?"

"You don't understand, she just likes to make trouble for me." Zhu Taozhi's voice became more depressed when she said this. That was her biological sister. When she was a child, she always wanted to be close to her sister, but her sister was always cold to her and used her sister's airs to suppress her. After a long time, she really hated her.

"There must be a way. If it doesn't work, I can take you away. I guarantee that no one can catch up with us."

"But my sister will bring a lot of offerings."

"I have a way." Jiang Li said with a smile. Zhu Taozhi asked, "What is it?"

Jiang Li slapped out a lot of talisman papers at once. Each of these talisman papers were speed talismans, but they were improved speed talismans. The simple speed talismans were improved into heavenly grade talisman papers. These talisman papers could be pasted on the spirit boat. Once activated, even a cultivator in the Mahayana period would need a while to catch up.

Zhu Taozhi understood and was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

After all, not every talisman practitioner would be so bored as to spend so much time studying how to improve the speed talisman.

Jiang Li and Zhu Taozhi went to the top of a mountain in the secret realm. When they reached the top, Zhu Taozhi asked softly, "Do you want to see me dance?"

"You can dance too?" Jiang Li pretended to be surprised.

"Most women in the Northern Territory are good at singing and dancing." Zhu Taozhi snorted, "It's a pity that I didn't bring my dance dress when I went out."

Zhu Taozhi is currently wearing a black and white satin lace dress that Jiang Li gave her. This cute-looking dress makes Zhu Taozhi look more graceful and more sweet. She is also wearing creamy white calf socks on her calves, and even the black boots on her feet are given to her by Jiang Li. Jiang Li can always produce many strange things.

But this skirt was just a sample that Jiang Li made for Qiyue Pavilion in the past. After they copied it, Yue Ji returned it to Jiang Li. She didn't keep it for herself because Jiang Li didn't make her chest that full, so it was too tight for her and looked particularly tight.

Jiang Li looked at the bamboo peach branches in front of him, and they began to dance in front of him. The person playing the piano was naturally Jiang Li. He was using the piano called Huangqi, playing a cheerful and relaxing tune. Butterflies gradually flew over from the top of the mountain, flapping their wings around the two of them.

Seeing Zhu Taozhi's bright eyes, Jiang Li felt his heart calm down a lot.

When he saw Zhu Taozhi's tears last night, he felt extremely empty, but he knew very well that it was not love. He just hated himself for making her cry. Although they had agreed to go to the Northern Territory to see Zhu Taozhi at the end of the year, Jiang Li knew very well that it would be both a meeting again and a time to say goodbye.

Her heart was extremely empty, and she had no idea who she would fall in love with again. Perhaps the peace he felt in his heart at this moment when he saw her smile could be considered love, but he estimated that it would dissipate soon.

Pleasant musical sounds flowed from the strings in Jiang Li's hands. Zhu Taozhi's skirt fluttered. She danced really well. Her dancing posture was like a butterfly flying in the air. Jiang Li played several songs and Zhu Taozhi also danced several songs.

Jiang Li put away the Huangqiqin, and Zhu Taozhi walked in front of him, her skirt swaying gently with her steps. She stood in front of Jiang Li with her hands behind her back, she tiptoed slightly, and then closed her eyes.

Jiang Li hesitated for a moment, but finally kissed her lightly on the lips.

"It's a little later than I expected." Zhu Taozhi said in a low voice.

"Then kiss her for a while longer." Jiang Li put his arm around her shoulders.

"Scoundrel."

Zhu Taozhi bit his lips lightly.

....................................

The two stayed on the top of the mountain until the sun set and the night sky was filled with stars. Although Jiang Li and Zhu Taozhi knew very well that the stars were just illusions in the dreamland, this did not affect their mood of stargazing.

At this moment, the two were lying on the grass, resting their arms on their heads and looking at the stars, neither of them speaking. Fireflies were dancing in the sky. Zhu Taozhi suddenly turned over and came closer, pressing her body on Jiang Li again.

"What?" Jiang Li looked into her eyes tenderly.

"I want to see if you'll be nervous." Zhu Taozhi rested her elbows on the grass. She moved closer, their noses touching. She suddenly said, "Will I forget you after I return to the Northern Territory?"

"It would be best if you forget me."

"You really don't love me at all."

Jiang Li could only smile helplessly. He had no way to argue with Zhu Taozhi, so he had to keep silent. After a long while, Zhu Taozhi said, "Say you love me."

"It's a lie even if I tell you."

"I want to hear it even if it's fake."

"I won't tell you." Jiang Li stretched out his hand. Because Zhu Taozhi bent her legs, Jiang Li's hand easily touched the back of her thigh. Then he slowly moved his hand upwards, put it into her skirt, and then pinched the girl's delicate snow-white buttocks hard.

This diverted Zhu Taozhi's attention. She lowered her head and bumped her forehead against Jiang Li's with a bang.

"Doesn't it hurt?" Jiang Li asked.

"I'm in pain and you're in pain too." Zhu Taozhi raised her chin proudly.

"Let me blow it for you."

"Childish." Zhu Taozhi said with disdain, but still lowered her head and approached obediently.

.......................................

It would be lonely to look at the stars alone, but not with someone else.

Jiang Li and Zhu Taozhi lay on the grass and looked at the stars for a long time, until they both felt something strange in their bodies. This was a sign that the secret realm was about to drive them all out. Jiang Li and Zhu Taozhi both stood up. Jiang Li gently grabbed Zhu Taozhi's hand. After a moment, darkness fell in front of them. After a slight feeling of dizziness, they returned to the dense forest again.

But at this moment the atmosphere in the dense forest was very solemn. Jiang Li and Zhu Taozhi looked around and saw that all the cultivators were still standing where they were, not daring to move.

Because there were three people standing in front of them at this moment.

One woman, two men.

Two men stood respectfully behind the woman, one on the left and one on the right. They looked to be middle-aged, but they exuded the aura of cultivation without any concealment. Both men were at the sixth level of Mahayana.

The woman standing in front of him had a face exactly the same as Zhu Taozhi's.

But it is very easy to tell the difference, because that woman's eyes are particularly charming. Zhu Taozhi's eyes may look gentle sometimes, but the woman in front of him is purely charming. She is wearing a black tube top, revealing her slender waist and cute belly button. The top is embellished with some jewels. Under her slender white waist, her snow-white hips are wrapped in a hip skirt. The back of the skirt is decorated with light gauze. The hem of the skirt is definitely not long, revealing half of her thighs and slender straight legs. Her slender jade feet are not wearing shoes, just stepping on the ground like this, but not stained with dust.

Jiang Li looked at the other person without any concealment, and the other person's eyes quickly locked onto Zhu Taozhi in the crowd, and then fell on Jiang Li who was beside Zhu Taozhi. At this moment, Jiang Li was holding Zhu Taozhi's hand and had not let go yet.

It seems that the charming woman dressed as a dancer in front of him is Zhu Qiutang.

She and Zhu Taozhi looked really different. Jiang Li glanced at Zhu Qiutang in front of him with amusement, but Zhu Qiutang just glanced at him and then passed by. Her eyes fell on Zhu Taozhi and she spoke.

What Jiang Li found interesting was that when Zhu Qiutang spoke to Zhu Taozhi, his eyes turned cold and his voice was full of majesty.

"I am here to take you back to the Northern Territory on my mother's orders."

After a moment, she added calmly.

"immediately."

Chapter 152: Chapter Zhu Qiutang

Because of the two sixth-level Mahayana monks behind Zhu Qiutang, all the monks who came here to explore the secret realm did not dare to move at the moment and could only stand there silently. However, some people vaguely recognized that the people who came seemed to be monks from the Northern Territory. After all, the clothing characteristics of the Northern Territory were easy to distinguish.

Zhu Taozhi raised her head, her eyes were not dodging, but her tone was a little softer, "I have an appointment with someone to go to Wanhua Valley in Zhongzhou to see the flowers blooming. It will take at most a day and a half. Can you wait for me, sister?"

Her tone was definitely gentle and soft, but Zhu Qiutang's eyes were still as cold as ever. She began to question, "You didn't hear what I just said, right? Leave now!"

The flattering expression on Zhu Taozhi's face gradually faded. She bit her lips slightly, but didn't know what to say next. After all, no matter what she said next, Zhu Qiutang would immediately use her mother to pressure her, saying that this was the order of her mother and she naturally had to obey.

But at this moment, Jiang Li took a step forward.

Before taking this step, Jiang Li first summarized all the information about Zhu Qiutang. She was an expert in swordsmanship and her cultivation was far higher than Zhu Taozhi. She had very bad luck and was very cold towards Zhu Taozhi, but she was not arrogant. She was quite friendly with other people in the Northern Territory.

"This fairy must be Taozhi's sister, right?" Jiang Li asked with a smile.

As the saying goes, don't hit a smiling person. Jiang Li had to test the other party's attitude first, but the next second, Zhu Qiutang gave Jiang Li the answer.

"Where did you come from, you second-rate bastard? You have no right to speak here, get out of here!"

Now it seems that Zhu Qiutang has taken out his resentment towards Zhu Taozhi on Jiang Li.

When Zhu Taozhi heard this, her eyes suddenly became annoyed. She was about to speak, but Jiang Li gently pulled her arm, signaling her to be silent. Then he stood in front of Zhu Taozhi and said, "I made a bet with Taozhi before. We had a sword fight. If she lost, she would accompany me to the Wanhua Valley to see the flowers blooming. Although I know that you care about me very much and want to take her back as soon as possible, I think one or two days won't make a difference, right?"

"You two are both of such noble status, are you insisting that she refuse to pay the debt if she loses the bet?"

"That's your business, and what I have to do is to take her back. She has been out there for three years, and there are still a lot of things waiting for her in the Northern Territory. I don't have time to mess around with you."

"Oh, so you two sisters don't get along." Jiang Li looked as if he had suddenly realized something.

...Let me use some moral kidnapping first.

"What does it have to do with you whether we two sisters have a harmonious relationship?"

"Of course not. When Zhu Taozhi lost to me, she assured me that although she lost, her sister's swordsmanship would definitely be able to easily crush me. She looked very proud at the time, so I thought about having another sword fight with you, but looking at the relationship between the two of you, it seems that you will not help her with this."

"She is clumsy in swordsmanship. If she loses, she loses. It has nothing to do with me."

"That's true. It's a pity. It seems your sister is not going to reason with us. We can only visit Wanhua Valley next year." Jiang Li said helplessly.

Zhu Taozhi always felt that Jiang Li's expression was a little fake. Sure enough, the next second Jiang Li said gently, "Although you can't see the Ten Thousand Flowers Valley, the snow lotus on the top of the Yanxing Mountain in Zhongzhou is particularly spectacular in winter every year. I will come to the North Region to take you to see it at the end of the year."

Zhu Taozhi nodded obediently, "Okay."

"Give me a hug." Jiang Li spread his arms.

Zhu Taozhi obediently threw herself into his arms and hugged him tightly. When the two were hugging, a cold voice came to Jiang Li's ears, "Who are you?"

Jiang Li released his hand from around Zhu Taozhi, who looked up at this moment and said, "Who cares?"

"I'm asking him, not you!" Zhu Qiutang said again in a cold voice. Her tone was quite aggressive, but Jiang Li just smiled, "You are such a weird sister."

"I'm asking you a question."

"I know. My name is Jiang Li, and I'm a young swordsman in Xuantian Daoji Sect." Jiang Li said, "I'm a good friend of Miss Taozhi."

"friend?"

"In the past few years, we have often discussed swordplay and explored secret realms together, so we are naturally good friends. I always heard Taozhi talk about your swordsmanship, so I have always wanted to learn from you."

"You are not qualified to be taught."

"How about we have a fight?"

Before the other party could speak, Jiang Li took out two swords from his storage ring. At this moment, his cultivation had reached the Nascent Soul stage. After using the sword force to activate the magic sword that Bai Sheng gave him, as he expected, the magic sword turned into a top-notch sword.

The other spiritual sword in his hand was the Xuehua Sword. The sword spirit of the Xuehua Sword was very happy because Jiang Li had hardly used it a few times since he obtained it.

"I'll bet on my two swords."

The sword of a sword cultivator is like life, but Jiang Li downplayed the risk of these two swords. Zhu Qiutang's eyes finally changed a little, but unfortunately, it was just a condescending mockery.

"you sure?"

"Of course, but since it's a bet, I want me to decide your bet." Jiang Li looked into the other person's eyes, not caring about the mockery in Zhu Qiutang's eyes.

"what do you want?"

"I don't want anything. If you lose, then give Taozhi and I two days to go to the Valley of Ten Thousand Flowers to see the flowers bloom. It won't take much time. If I lose, in addition to giving you these two swords, I can also never set foot in the Northern Territory for the rest of my life."

Jiang Li's tone was very calm. Of course, excessive modesty is sometimes a manifestation of extreme pride.

The contempt in Zhu Qiutang's eyes became more and more intense. She no longer concealed her cultivation aura. Her cultivation of the ninth level of the Minor Tribulation was revealed at this moment. She looked at Jiang Li in front of her coldly, "Even so, you still want to fight with me?"

"Yes."

"Where do you get your confidence?"

"If I lose, I will only lose two swords. If I win, I can take Miss Taozhi to the Valley of Thousand Flowers to see the flowers. The scene of thousands of flowers in full bloom is particularly magnificent. It would be a pity to miss it and have to wait for a year. So thinking this way, it is worth it."

"What kind of swordsman is he if he doesn't even cherish his own sword?"

Jiang Li smiled and said, "Even if we lose, these two swords can still play their value in the hands of better swordsmen. It's much better than keeping them in my hands, isn't it?"

He raised the two swords in his hands, "I have heard about your swordsmanship for a long time. Today I finally have the opportunity to learn from you. Draw your sword."

He quietly waited for Zhu Qiutang to draw her sword, but Zhu Qiutang's eyes were also filled with indifference, "I'll let you strike with your sword."

"No need." Jiang Li shook his head.

"Are you being too arrogant?"

Jiang Li just smiled. The atmosphere was almost created, and it was time to draw his sword.

First, he put on a gesture of weakness, as if he would not hit someone who smiled at him, and then he deliberately hugged Zhu Taozhi and tied himself to her. At this moment, he proposed a bet to provoke the other party to take the bait. If the other party wanted to deliberately make things difficult for Zhu Taozhi, then he would take the bait back. Now, as long as he won, he could take Zhu Taozhi to see the flowers in full bloom in the Valley of Flowers.

In fact, Jiang Li didn’t really want to go, but he had to do what he agreed to.
