Why do you always want to be my Taoist partner?

I clearly prepared a gift for you, but you gave your gift to two people, so I am not unique.

"She and I were locked up in a secret place together. She helped me a lot, so I gave her a gift. If you're going to be angry about this, then there's nothing I can do."

Jiang Li looked at Zhu Taozhi very frankly. Zhu Taozhi bit her lips lightly, but finally took a step back.

"The one you gave me isn't as pretty as the one she gave me."

"Then I'll just make another one for you." Jiang Li took over the conversation and stretched out his hand to rub her cheek.

Chapter 162: Chapter Did you guess that I would come?

Taking advantage of the evening light, Jiang Li took Zhu Taozhi for another careful walk in the sea of ​​flowers, then made another wreath and put it on Zhu Taozhi's head. Zhu Taozhi was satisfied now, and took Jiang Li's hand and returned to Zhu Qiutang.

She held Jiang Li's hand tightly, as if to claim sovereignty, but Zhu Qiutang's eyes were cold. She glanced at Zhu Taozhi and said, "We have been to Wanhua Valley, so it's time to go back. We will set off tonight."

This time, Zhu Taozhi had no reason to refuse. She pursed her lips slightly and said, "Can't we leave later?"

"No." Zhu Qiutang's voice was majestic.

At this moment, Jiang Li jumped out and said, "Then... I'll take you there in my spirit boat?"

"I have my own spiritual boat." Zhu Qiutang looked into his eyes.

"My spiritual boat can drive itself, so I'll give it to you for one night. It will save you the trouble of driving the spiritual boat at night, so you can have a good rest." Jiang Li looked flattering. Zhu Qiutang hesitated for a moment, "Tomorrow morning, you have to get out of here by yourself."

"Okay." Jiang Li nodded. When Zhu Taozhi heard Zhu Qiutang treating Jiang Li in this tone, she was about to say something, but Jiang Li gently hugged her and whispered in her ear, "It's okay, let's not bother with her."

As he spoke, Jiang Li took out the spirit boat. The three of them boarded his spirit boat and headed towards the Northern Region.

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

In the room inside the spirit boat.

Zhu Taozhi was lying on the bed without a quilt covering her. Her skirt formed a graceful arc. Jiang Li was sitting on the edge of the bed, his hand gently poking her calf. Zhu Taozhi was feeling a little depressed.

They are about to part, but this time the separation is not like the previous ones, where the two would meet again in the secret realm every one or two months. This time it will take a long time before they meet again.

"When will you come to see me?"

"At the end of the year." Jiang Li answered frankly. Zhu Taozhi raised her white silk feet and kicked him lightly on the waist.

"It will take a long time." She was a little unhappy. Jiang Li grabbed her slender feet wrapped in white silk and gently stroked them. "It's okay. We can still exchange letters. Send them to Xuantian Dao Jizong, and Jiang Li at Hidden Sword Peak will receive them."

"Letters also take a long time."

"Parting is inevitable." Jiang Li also lay down on the bed, next to Zhu Taozhi. Zhu Taozhi quickly came over and rested her head on his shoulder. She gently bit Jiang Li's shoulder to vent her depressed mood. After a while, she said, "Will you participate in this year's Five Regions Competition?"

“I probably won’t participate.”

The Five Domains Competition is a ceremony held every ten years in the five domains. Young people within sixty years are selected to participate. The ceremony will then decide the number of people who can enter Canglan Realm, the largest secret realm in Canglan Domain.

Jiang Li didn't want to be in the limelight. Besides, the Zhongzhou Competition would be held at the end of this month. At the moment, his soul was severely damaged and he couldn't use his sword power. He didn't even want to participate in this Zhongzhou Competition. He had to win the Zhongzhou Competition first before being qualified to participate in the Five Realms Competition. Jiang Li was not very interested in the Canglan Realm, the largest secret realm in Zhongzhou, so he had no plans to participate.

The Five Domains Competition is also held at the end of the year, but this year's Five Domains Competition is held in the East Domain.

Zhu Taozhi responded, and she bit Jiang Li again. Jiang Li put his arm around her shoulders and whispered in her ear, "Okay, okay, let's go to bed early."

"I'm not sleepy." Zhu Taozhi's voice was stubborn. Jiang Li gently pulled the quilt over the two of them, "Then I'll tell you a story."

Zhu Taozhi shrank her body and snuggled into his arms. Jiang Li told her a bedtime story in a gentle tone, but this time Zhu Taozhi fell asleep while he was telling the story. After he finished the story, Zhu Taozhi lowered her head and bit his chest.

"Will you forget me when you go back?"

"Didn't you say before that if I didn't come to find you, you would bring your mother to the sect and beat me up?"

"What I mean is...even if you come to me at that time, by then, will you no longer have feelings for me?"

"The word 'feeling' is quite good. What is feeling?" Jiang Li blinked at her.

"By then...you won't like me anymore."

"That's what you said." Jiang Li smiled and nodded, "Okay, then I won't like you anymore."

"You!" Zhu Taozhi slammed her forehead against his chest, "No."

"Miss Zhu is so proud, but you can't even allow someone to dislike you?"

"Others can, but you can't." Zhu Taozhi didn't want to be held in his arms anymore. She turned over and pressed on Jiang Li. She looked into Jiang Li's eyes and her tone became soft again. "You can't dislike me."

Jiang Li gently grasped her snowy buttocks and pulled them apart with a little force. Zhu Taozhi's hair almost exploded immediately and her waist arched, "You are naughty again."

"Didn't you come up here first?"

"then you……"

"sleep."

Be stupid when you should be stupid.

Zhu Taozhi leaned all her body over him and said, "Then let's sleep like this."

"How can I sleep when you're like this?"

"I don't care. I can sleep anyway." Zhu Taozhi hummed softly and lay on him for a long time, but she couldn't fall asleep in the end. Jiang Li closed his eyes and looked asleep. Unfortunately, Zhu Taozhi lowered her head and bit his chest again, "Are you asleep?"

Jiang Li opened her eyes, "What do you want, Auntie?"

"I'm scared." Zhu Taozhi's voice became soft again.

"Hmm?" Jiang Li looked at the bamboo peach branch in front of him and was stunned for a moment.

Zhu Taozhi always looked particularly proud, but at this moment her eyes looked somewhat pitiful. She whispered, "I'm afraid that after one or two months, you will forget me. You told me last time that you have so many women around you. By then, you will gradually not like me as much, and the next time we meet, it will be time for you to say goodbye to me."

Jiang Li reached out his hand and gently hugged her waist. "Even if that day does come in the future, it will be in the future, not now. If you start worrying about the future now, you will miss this moment as well."

Jiang Li stared into Zhu Taozhi's eyes seriously. Zhu Taozhi listened to his words seriously. Her voice was still so soft. "Do you like me now?"

"Do you really have to listen to me?"

"Well, I want to hear you say it."

"At least I like you now. As for the future, that's something I can't even guarantee. I have always been like this, not just for you."

"Why am I still a little unhappy after what you said?" Zhu Taozhi grumbled in dissatisfaction. Jiang Li reached out and gently stroked her head, "Okay, okay, go to sleep."

"I... don't want to sleep."

"So what do you want to do?"

"you guess?"

"I can't guess."

"Then you'd better go to hell!" Zhu Taozhi finally bumped her forehead against his chest, and finally moved her body and lay in his arms again. She closed her eyes and began to act coquettishly, "Tell me a story."

"Okay." Jiang Li continued to tell her stories. When she finally fell asleep, Jiang Li carefully withdrew himself, then got off the bed, left the room like a thief, and came to Zhu Qiutang's door. Without knocking, he gently pushed the door open.

Zhu Qiutang's door was not locked. She was standing in front of the bed, holding the hem of her black skirt with her fingertips, which had already reached the base of her thighs. She was holding the hem like this, as if she was about to take it off, but Jiang Li's arrival stopped her movements.

Wearing a short skirt will definitely not make you look more shy than lifting up the hem of your skirt.

The two looked at each other for three seconds. Jiang Li looked at her long, white legs and smiled, "Did you guess I would come?"

Chapter 163: Chapter I Don't Want to Love You Anymore

"Get out." Zhu Qiutang's voice was cold.

Her hands were still holding the hem of her skirt. Jiang Li finally moved his eyes away from her snowy and slender thighs and fell on her face. He looked into her slightly cold eyes and said, "We won't see each other after tomorrow, so I wanted to come and talk to you again."

"I'm changing clothes. After I'm done... come in again." Zhu Qiutang's voice became a little softer.

"I don't have to watch it." Jiang Li walked into the room, closed the door, and closed his eyes.

Zhu Qiutang lifted the hem of her skirt and took off her black palace skirt piece by piece.

Jiang Li was standing in front of her at this moment, but only one or two meters away. He really had his eyes closed and there was a smile on the corner of his mouth.

Zhu Qiutang took out a nightgown from her storage ring. She was about to put it on, but after looking at the face in front of her, she hesitated for a few seconds and finally put the nightgown on the bed. She sat down on the bed, and perhaps because of uneasiness, she crossed her legs and said coldly, "That's enough."

Jiang Li opened his eyes.

Every inch of Zhu Qiutang's skin was white and smooth. Her eyes were fixed on Jiang Li, as if waiting for his reaction. Jiang Li was stunned for several seconds and heard her speak.

"Do whatever you want."

Her eyes were still as cold as ever, even though her cheeks inevitably flushed at this moment. In fact, she felt a little hot. She didn't know where to put her hands, so she just hugged them to her chest.

The two of them just stared at each other in the room, her eyes filled with contempt, ridicule, or perhaps something else.

Jiang Li looked into her eyes gently. After a few seconds, he asked, "Do you think I came to you just to strip you of your clothes?"

Zhu Qiutang didn't answer, but turned away, "Why do you have to pretend to be so righteous?"

"I never thought of forcing you to do something you were unwilling to do. Have a good rest. I'm going back to accompany Taozhi."

Jiang Li turned around and walked back to the door. He opened the door, and before leaving, he turned back and looked at Zhu Qiutang deeply.

Zhu Qiutang did not say anything to try to keep her.

Jiang Li closed the door for her, and she was the only one left in the room again. She stared at the door and suddenly felt her nose getting sour, and a deep feeling of powerlessness surged from her body.

It was obvious that this was not what she wanted to say, but it jumped out of her mouth subconsciously. Now she pushed Jiang Li away again. She knew that she was subconsciously wearing out Jiang Li's patience again and again. Patience will always be exhausted, and so will love.

Why? Why torture him like this? You are obviously torturing yourself too.

Zhu Qiutang raised her head, and her tears began to fall again. She suddenly wanted to rush out and call Jiang Li back, but that guy was probably hugging the sleeping Zhu Taozhi and ready to sleep too, right?

She raised the back of her hand to wipe away the falling tears, but the next second the door of her room was opened again, and a head popped out of the door. Jiang Li looked into her eyes, staring at her misty eyes for several seconds, and whispered, "I'm back again."

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

The room became very quiet.

Jiang Li's funny appearance probably failed to make Zhu Qiutang laugh. Her tears were still falling, but Jiang Li felt helpless about it.

Imagine a puppy lying next to her, and she wants to kick you away. But when you really run away, she starts to get scared again. It's obvious that she doesn't hate the puppy. Maybe she is just afraid that after getting used to the puppy being around, the puppy will suddenly disappear one day.

People are always so contradictory, but it is precisely because of contradictions that they are human.

Jiang Li just stood at the door and looked at the moon very seriously for a minute. He thought a lot during that minute. According to his past temperament, he didn't have that much patience to wait. Maybe he should just turn around and leave. Anyway, there is a well-behaved and obedient Zhu Taozhi in his room. Anyway, she doesn't want you to get close to her. Maybe you can try to change her, or maybe you can't do anything.

If everything he did was doomed to fail, was there any point in even trying?

But a minute later, he came to Zhu Qiutang, took out a handkerchief to wipe her tears, then hugged her in his arms and gently patted her back. Zhu Qiutang cried on his chest for a long time. After crying, she raised her head and looked at Jiang Li with tearful eyes, "Get out."

Jiang Li slapped her on the butt, "Hey, I was very angry just now, okay? Don't act like a good kid after getting the upper hand."

"You did it on purpose!"

"Yeah, who made me a bastard?" Jiang Li came to her side and gently held her in his arms.

"Do you like being held like this?"

"do not like."

"If you don't like it, then don't hug me." Jiang Li loosened his arms around her, but put his hands on her shoulders again, and slowly moved his cheek closer to hers.

"Why don't you open your eyes and look at me?"

"You... stop bullying me?"

"You really won't open your eyes?"

"I...I don't dare..."

After several seconds, Zhu Qiutang closed her eyes like a cat whose tail was stepped on, and her eyelashes trembled slightly.

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

early morning.

Zhu Qiutang curled up in Jiang Li's arms like a cat. Jiang Li lowered his head to look at her and said softly, "It's time to get up."

"When is it?"

Jiang Li smiled helplessly, stretched out his hand and pinched her little face, "Okay, okay, Taozhi has woken up. If you don't get up, Taozhi will catch you."
