Why do you always want to be my Taoist partner?

So Bai Sheng listened to this guy's words in a daze, allowing his spiritual energy to flow in her body. Jiang Li cleared some blocked acupoints for her. Bai Sheng's body gradually softened, as if she was soaking in a hot spring, and felt particularly comfortable.

It’s a pity that Jiang Li only pressed it for a short while and then stopped.

"This is the secret massage method that Senior Brother Jiang Li studied from ancient books. Isn't it amazing?"

He sat back down opposite Bai Sheng, opened the bowls that were used to keep the food warm one by one, and then handed the bowl and chopsticks to Bai Sheng.

"Have a meal."

Chapter 17: Chapter I want to eat peach cakes

When fighting with someone, the key is to take advantage of his weakness to kill him. The same principle applies when chasing after girls.

While Bai Sheng's head is still dizzy at the moment, Jiang Li will use a series of punches to establish his position in her heart, which is particularly crucial. Jiang Li looked at Bai Sheng in front of him with expectation. Bai Sheng picked up the chopsticks, picked up a small piece of stewed soft turtle and put it into his mouth. The next second, everything in his eyes disappeared, and it all turned into admiration.

"Brother Jiang Li's cooking is delicious."

Jiang Li waved his hands. Although he was feeling very proud, he still had to be a little humble. "You will become more proficient if you do it more."

Bai Sheng was still quite concerned about his image, but Jiang Li noticed that Bai Sheng ate quite quickly. Before long, only the bottom of the food was left on the table. He originally thought that he would not be able to finish it.

After dinner, Jiang Li went to pick a watermelon from the melon shed and put the watermelon into the juice-making magic treasure he made. Simply put, it was a large cup and a drawn formation. The formation also had a cooling attribute. Soon he poured out two cups of watermelon juice and pushed one cup in front of Bai Sheng.

Bai Sheng picked up the cup and took a sip.

"So sweet."

"This is the fruit I found when I went down the mountain, so I got some seeds and planted them." Jiang Li lied with his eyes open. He got the watermelon seeds from the system, and it was an improved version. It had a high yield, sweet juice, thin skin and lots of flesh, and was suitable for all seasons.

Jiang Li lazily lay on the chair and began to fan himself with his folding fan. Bai Sheng drank the watermelon juice in small sips, occasionally glancing at Jiang Li secretly.

Her mind was still very confused at this moment.

After dinner, Bai Sheng slowly drank the watermelon juice in the cup. When the cup was empty, Bai Sheng stood up and whispered, "Senior Brother Jiang Li, I'll go back first."

"Goodbye, I won't see you off." Jiang Li nodded, so Bai Sheng stood up and picked up the cage with the rabbit. She didn't look back, but after walking a dozen steps, Jiang Li suddenly called her name from behind.

Bai Sheng turned his head and saw Jiang Li running towards him with a big watermelon in his hand, with a big white lying on top of the watermelon.

"Here, for you."

Bai Sheng took the big watermelon from Jiang Li's hand blankly. Jiang Li scratched his head, "Next I have to go accompany the senior sister I told you about yesterday and originally planned to invite her to play with me in the evening. She might be busy."

Bai Sheng didn't know why, but subconsciously asked, "Which senior sister?"

Jiang Li made an awkward expression, so Bai Sheng turned away and stopped asking. Jiang Li smiled awkwardly, "I'll trouble Junior Sister Bai Sheng to help me take care of Dabai these few days. If Junior Sister Bai Sheng is free in a few days, I will come to discuss swordplay with her."

Bai Sheng looked at his smiling face at the moment, but a strange emotion inexplicably rose in her heart, like anger, and like grievance. She turned her face away, "I may not have time."

"Okay... I'll pick Dabai up in a few days."

Jiang Li's face showed a bit more disappointment, while Bai Sheng had turned around at this moment, holding a watermelon in one hand and a rabbit in the other, with a big white dog lying on her shoulder, and gradually disappeared at the exit of the bamboo forest. Jiang Li looked at her slender back, and the awkward smile on his face disappeared in an instant.

He sighed helplessly, returned to his recliner, covered his face with the fan, and prepared to have a good sleep.

What we need to do next is just wait for the emotions to ferment.

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

Bai Sheng returned to her yard.

She put the rabbit down and placed it at the edge of the yard. Then she went to pick some wild vegetables and put them in the rabbit's cage. Watching the rabbit begin to nibble on the vegetables in small bites, Bai Sheng sat down at the table, her cheek supported by her hand, her mind suddenly becoming a little confused.

At this time, she usually chooses to practice sword.

So she stood up, grasped the spiritual sword that had accompanied her for many years, and began to swing the sword seriously in the yard. However, the moves she used for sword practice were also taught by him, and that face began to appear inexplicably in her mind again.

That gentle him, that rogue him, that smirking him, and that him who had a slightly lost look on his face when he heard her say “I may not be free”.

Which one is the real him?

Bai Sheng's eyes became a little dazed.

Why... did you give me a watermelon when you left?

Why... did you tell me that I have to date other senior sisters during this period of time?

Why... do you want to teach me swordsmanship?

Bai Sheng stopped practicing sword skills and returned to the table. She split the watermelon with her sword and started eating it in big mouthfuls. She could forget her worries while eating, but when she came to her senses, she had already finished the whole watermelon.

Maybe it’s not because she has too many worries, but because the watermelon is not big enough.

Bai Sheng looked up at the night sky. The moon was so bright tonight.

She returned to her room, filled the tub with water, then took off her clothes and immersed herself in the tub, burying her head in it as well. After a while, she stood up from the tub, wiped herself clean, and out of the corner of her eye she caught a glimpse of the painting she had hung in the corner.

That painting was drawn by Jiang Li for her.

Even though she found it very confusing, Jiang Li's painting was indeed very good. The girl in the painting was squatting, stroking the cat's belly, her eyes sparkling and gentle.

Bai Sheng came to the side of the painting, collected it, put it in the cabinet, and stopped looking at it. He hurried to the bed, pulled the quilt over him, and wrapped himself tightly, leaving only his little head exposed.

Don't think about him anymore... he's dangerous.

If he comes to see me in a few days...my attitude should be colder.

No... I can't be bullied in a daze anymore.

Bai Sheng tossed and turned in bed for a long time, but still couldn't fall asleep. Her fingers gently grasped the bed sheet, and suddenly she felt her nose getting sore again.

She also didn't understand why her nose felt sore.

What is Senior Brother Jiang Li doing now? Is he trying to coax Senior Sister to sleep? He is so good at coaxing girls, Senior Sister must be smiling happily in his arms now, right?

The scene in front of Bai Sheng was gradually blurred by mist. She stretched out her hand to wipe away her tears. The water stains on the back of her hand were quickly wiped onto the quilt. She tried hard not to think about it, but the more she did so, the more confused her mind became.

Bai Sheng bit her lips lightly, but her white fingertips unconsciously slid to her thighs. She rubbed her legs nervously, closed her eyes, and bit her lips lightly.

Gradually, there were some water stains on her fingertips.

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

Jiang Li slept particularly peacefully that night.

He woke up early, changed into a white suit, straightened his clothes, then looked in the mirror, smiled at himself in the mirror, and then he was ready to go out.

As for where to go...?

Of course, it’s to go to Bai Sheng’s cave.

Of course, what he said yesterday was just a lie. Bai Sheng must have thought about it for a long time last night. According to her personality, she probably sensed the danger. She secretly swore in her heart that she would be colder to him next time they met.

But if Jiang Li really waited three or four days before going to find her, and if he managed to resolve her coldness, then by then Bai Sheng... would no longer have any room for maneuver.

This is not okay.

He had already implanted in Bai Sheng's mind the concept that he was a scumbag and would leave her sooner or later. As long as he manipulated the situation well today, precise micro-manipulation would increase Bai Sheng's favorability. Later, as long as he could give her a stable and comfortable time together, his favorability would be accurately controlled to the point where he could get points by hugging her, and she would not be too sad after he left.

After all, he had taught Bai Sheng a very powerful set of swordsmanship, so he could alleviate a lot of the guilt in his heart, which could be regarded as compensation to Bai Sheng.

Jiang Li used to like this kind of micro-management, but later he realized one thing: human hearts cannot be accurately guessed simply. Just like he can always predict a general situation, things may not necessarily develop as he expects.

What's more, people like Bai Sheng, the more sensitive and simple-minded they are, the more likely they are to fall into some extreme situation. Jiang Li didn't dare to gamble, so he quickened his pace. As long as he could see Bai Sheng today... he would be able to fleece Bai Sheng within three days and then leave.

Anyway, this kind of scumbag thing has been done time and time again, so it doesn't matter if it happens again this time.

He thought so, but when he walked out the door, the sound transmission jade on his waist began to tremble slightly.

Jiang Li picked up the sound transmission jade and put it to his ear.

"Brother Jiang Li...are you busy now?"

A very cold female voice came from the other end of the sound transmission jade. It was not as majestic as Yue Ji's, nor as soft and pleasant as Bai Sheng's. Instead, it sounded like ice cubes placed in a cup, making a pleasant sound when shaken.

Jiang Li's steps paused slightly, "What's wrong?"

"I...I want to eat peach cake."

The cold female voice was a little timid. After saying this, she quickly added, "If Brother Jiang Li is very busy with his cultivation, then forget it."

Jiang Li was silent for a moment, "I'm practicing swordplay. I'll bring you some peach cakes in a few days."

"Yeah, yeah... Brother Jiang Li, please take care of yourself, don't, don't exhaust yourself... I, I'm fine... Actually, it's been a long time since I last spoke to Brother Jiang Li... I want to hear Brother Jiang Li's voice..."

"If Brother Jiang Li is busy... I won't bother Brother Jiang Li."

Jiang Li stood there in silence for a long time, but the connection with the sound transmission jade was not disconnected. He could hear the girl's slight breathing. After a while, he said, "Forget it, sword can be practiced tomorrow. You wait for me in the room. I will come to find you later."

"Brother Jiang Li... I, I... Actually, it's okay... No, no need to bother..."

"The main reason is that I also want to see Jinbie." Jiang Li answered gently, and the female voice on the other end of the sound transmission jade trembled slightly, "Then, then I will wait for Brother Jiang Li in the house."

"it is good."

Jiang Li cut off the connection with the sound transmission jade, stood there for a long time, finally sighed helplessly, returned to his bamboo house, and began to make peach cakes seriously.

Chapter 18: Chapter Jiang Jin Bids Goodbye

Jiang Jinbie really likes eating peach cakes.

Because Jiang Li always made it for her when she was a child, and she was so thin that she could eat half a box by herself. Jiang Li always made a lot for her in the past, but recently he has been busy with trivial matters and has no time.

Jiang Jin is two years younger than Jiang Li. She just turned 18 this year.

Jiang Li met her when he was six years old. Jiang Jinbie was four years old at that time. She and Jiang Li were in the same city. There was a famine in the city, and the two of them were taken back to Xuantian Dao Ji Zong by immortals who came down the mountain.

Because they were both quite pitiful, Jiang Li called the little girl "sister" in order to comfort her who couldn't stop crying. Then he became Jiang Jin's other brother. Even Jiang Jin's other name was given by Jiang Li.

Jiang Jinbie has an extremely Yin Mysterious Vein, but his aptitude is dull, so his cultivation speed is slow and extremely painful. If he wants to relieve the pain, he needs the Blazing Fire Spirit Pearl. Over the years, every time Jiang Li went down the mountain to look for good fortune, he used all the skills, secret books, and spiritual tools he obtained to exchange for spirit stones, and then bought the Blazing Fire Spirit Pearl for Jiang Jinbie.

The price of a Blazing Spirit Pearl is 10,000 spirit stones. During the years that Jiang Jinbie has been practicing, Jiang Li has spent almost 5 million spirit stones on her.

These cultivation resources are enough for other cultivators to practice from Qi training to overcoming minor tribulations. It is precisely because of this that Jiang Li’s own cultivation has been delayed, and he is still only in the initial stage of foundation building.

But who made him want to coax the little girl at that time?

Jiang Li never thought of himself as a saint. Most of the time, he felt that he was particularly heartless. He grew up in an orphanage in his previous life. Because he lacked love since childhood, he desperately longed for the love of others in his previous life and was willing to use all kinds of despicable means to achieve this.

But in this life, Jiang Jinbie became half of his relative.

Sometimes Jiang Li always wanted to stay away from Jiang Jin. He felt that when he got too close to her, he would feel more despicable. So he didn't let Jiang Jin enter the inner gate and didn't let Jiang Jin know everything about him in the inner gate.

Jiang Li sighed softly, put all the prepared peach cakes into the box, carried the box, and walked towards the outer gate of Xuantian Dao Ji Sect.

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

The inner gate is for the core cultivators of Xuantian Dao Ji Zong, while most of the outer gate disciples have only reached the foundation-building stage and are still in the Qi training stage. The outer gate is much larger than the inner gate. Jiang Jin doesn't like quietness and doesn't like to talk with other people of the same age, so Jiang Li found a way to spend some spirit stones to get her her own side courtyard in the outer gate.

Jiang Li came to the side yard. There was a big tree at the door with lush leaves. Jiang Li knocked on the door lightly, and soon he heard familiar footsteps. The door opened, and before he could say anything, a slender body with a pleasant fragrance threw herself into his arms.

Jiang Jinbie grew up very fast. She was only slightly shorter than Jiang Li, with a slim figure and fair skin. She hugged Jiang Li tightly and buried her cheek in Jiang Li's shoulder. Jiang Li could feel her breath on his neck. He paused for a moment, then broke free from Jiang Jinbie's arms.

"You still need to hug me even though I'm already that old."

His tone seemed to carry a hint of displeasure. Jiang Jin took a step back, the grievance in her eyes unconsciously welling up. She looked at Jiang Li, and her eye sockets suddenly became like little rabbits, as if tears would fall in the next second.

Jiang Li looked at her seriously.

Jiang Jinbie was wearing the dress he made for her. It was a well-cut black dress with the hem falling half a foot above her knees, revealing her slender and round legs and the delicate and slender collarbone in front of her chest. Her hair was divided into two strands and tied on both sides. Jiang Li taught her how to braid it.

Even the black high-heeled sandals she was wearing were made by Jiang Li. She looked at Jiang Li aggrievedly, but Jiang Li was not soft-hearted. "Don't cry."

So Jiang Jin didn't raise her head to prevent tears from falling. Jiang Li walked to her side, handed her the peach cake in his hand, and then walked into the yard.

The environment of this small courtyard is quite good. There are several trees planted and the peach blossoms in the yard are in full bloom. Jiang Li sat down on a chair. Jiang Jinbie quickly came with a box of peach cakes and sat down opposite Jiang Li. She opened the box, picked up a piece of peach cake, broke off a small piece, and put the peach cake to Jiang Li's mouth.

"Brother Jiang Li, eat first."

Jiang Li seemed to be reluctant to lower his head and take a bite, then raised his head to look at Jiang Jinbie in front of him, "How's your practice going recently?"

"I have already learned all the sword techniques that Brother Jiang Li taught me...Brother Jiang Li, when can I enter the inner sect?"

Jiang Li glanced at her calmly and said, "The inner sect is full of powerful cultivators. If you go in with your limited cultivation, you will be bullied. I won't be able to protect you then."

Jiang Jinbie had no choice but to lower her head. She clearly felt that... she was very powerful now.
