Why do you always want to be my Taoist partner?

"The sooner you resolve the obsession, the better. Otherwise, if you delay until the day of your inner demon tribulation, be careful that you will be lost in it forever." Mu Xuezhi was also giving kind advice.

Jiang Li responded perfunctorily, "I know."

Jiang Li suddenly stood up and said, "I suddenly remembered that I have something else to do, so I'll go back first."

He had just taken a few steps when Mu Xuezhi's voice came from behind him, "What are you running away from?"

Jiang Li turned his head, and at this moment Mu Xuezhi seemed to have changed her appearance. Her legs were lazily crossed under her skirt, her slender hands were supporting her cheeks, and there seemed to be a faint mocking smile at the corners of her lips.

The moment he saw that smile, nameless anger surged in his head.

Mu Xuezhi laughed more and more wantonly.

"This is the first time I see you like this."

It was indeed the first time they met. In the past, Jiang Li always looked calm and gentle, as if he didn't care about anything at all. But when he mentioned his "obsession", it seemed that he remembered something, so that he no longer wanted to stick to her like a sticky candy, but wanted to escape in a hurry.

"Why? Let me guess. You are so lustful and greedy now. Is it because you lacked something in the past? Or is it because of a woman? Let me guess again... Was it a woman who played with you, or did you hurt a woman and it is irreparable?"

"Shut up." Jiang Li said word by word in a low voice.

Mu Xuezhi has lived for a thousand years. Although she has cut off all feelings and thoughts, she is naturally good at sensing people's emotions. She captured it easily. When she mentioned which woman she had hurt, Jiang Li's expression changed slightly, so the answer was already obvious.

"Then it seems that you have hurt a woman in the past? With your behavior, is there any woman you can't handle? Or did you lie to her too deeply, and finally made her completely disappointed in you, and you can't save the relationship no matter how hard you try?" Mu Xuezhi speculated word by word. After each sentence she would observe Jiang Li's expression and continue to speculate.

Jiang Li's expression had become very gloomy, but her smile became more and more wanton.

She saw the fire burning in Jiang Li's eyes, but she was really excited for no reason. She had deliberately embarrassed Jiang Li in the past, but Jiang Li's mood did not change at all. He was like a clay man without any temper, but he was like a fly that clinged to her and could not be driven away.

Now that she had finally found his weakness, it was impossible for her to let him go so easily.

Although Mu Xuezhi didn't understand why she did this.

"Are you angry?" The curve of her lips was too obvious. Such a smug attitude made Jiang Li want to slap her, but he naturally had no chance to fight with her.

In fact, Mu Xuezhi didn't even need to ask, because the fire burning in Jiang Li's eyes was too obvious, as if he wanted to burn Mu Xuezhi to death for mentioning this matter.

Mu Xuezhi really likes to see Jiang Li's current appearance.

She was now looking forward to Jiang Li scolding her. If that happened, she would probably laugh even more wantonly.

But she was still smiling, but she saw the fireworks in Jiang Li's eyes gradually extinguished, he lowered his eyelashes, and his eyes gradually dimmed.

"You guessed right." Jiang Li said suddenly.

Jiang Li's face turned very pale, with some bright red blood flowing from the corner of his mouth. He calmly raised his hand to wipe it away, and when he looked at Mu Xuezhi, there was no anger in his eyes anymore, as if there was only fatigue left.

"The sect leader seems to be smiling very happily." Jiang Li said slowly.

"Can't I laugh?"

"Laugh."

The smile on Mu Xuezhi's lips gradually faded. She looked at Jiang Li's face seriously and was about to say something else, but Jiang Li turned around and no longer looked at Mu Xuezhi's cheek. He looked down at the bloodstain on his palm and suddenly felt empty in his heart. He could hear his own footsteps and his own heartbeat, but his brain was blank, as if it had become an empty machine. He just walked forward like this, walked out of Mu Xuezhi's room, and walked into the heavy rain outside. He no longer held an umbrella, letting all the raindrops fall on him, turning him into a drowned dog.

Jiang Li didn't know how long he had been walking. Blood was flowing from the corner of his mouth again. It was from an old wound that was agitated. This time it was no longer an act. Fortunately, he didn't have to wipe the blood stains. The blood stains at the corner of his mouth were quickly washed away by the heavy rain.

"Jiang Li."

Suddenly someone called his name from behind.

Jiang Li did not turn around, he just continued walking forward, but the person who called his name finally caught up with him and held an umbrella over his head. He had to stop and turn around to look at the woman in front of him.

The woman in front of him was about 70% similar to Mu Xuezhi, with delicate and beautiful cheeks, but her eyes were completely different from Mu Xuezhi's. There was none of the teasing and mockery that Mu Xuezhi had had before. There was only heartache and worry in those dark eyes.

"What’s wrong with you?"

"It's okay." Jiang Li shook his head. The sound of rain falling on the umbrella was noisy. He tried to make his tone softer. "You can go back."

"It's raining heavily. Let's hide from the rain before we go."

Jiang Li shook his head.

Mu Bingning bit her lip lightly, put away the umbrella, and stood in the heavy rain with him.

Chapter 172: Chapter Can I touch it?

Mu Bingning chased out in a hurry. She was only wearing a thin white dress. She did not use her spiritual energy to shield the raindrops, so when the raindrops fell on her, they quickly soaked her dress and stuck tightly to her body. Jiang Li looked into her eyes.

He actually knew Mu Bingning very well. He knew that Mu Bingning was not good at speaking, but she was not stupid. She was very good at sensing other people's emotions and was particularly sensitive. Although she was not good at speaking, she was very good at doing things.

Jiang Li hurriedly took a coat and put it on her, saying softly, "Don't be silly."

"It's raining heavily." Mu Bingning said stubbornly.

"Then go back." Jiang Li said softly.

Mu Bingning was stubborn and didn't say anything. Jiang Li sighed helplessly, "Please don't cause me any trouble, okay?"

Mu Bingning bit her lip, and she didn't know whether the rain had stopped falling in her eyes. They were gradually blurred by mist, and the corners of her eyes became crystal clear. Jiang Li knew that he had said the wrong thing, so he hurriedly picked up the umbrella in Mu Bingning's hand and held it above the two of them.

"let's go."

Hanyuan Mountain was only three incense sticks' time away from his bamboo building, so Jiang Li quickly brought Mu Bingning here. This was the first time Mu Bingning came to his bamboo building. When the two met in the past, Jiang Li still had his own cave.

Back in the room of the bamboo building, Mu Bingning took off her coat and gave it back to Jiang Li. The white dress she was wearing was still clinging to her skin, and the slightly transparent material showed off the whiteness of her skin. Jiang Li hesitated for a moment and handed Mu Bingning a simple white dress he had made yesterday, "Change your clothes. I'll wait for you outside."

Mu Bingning grabbed the dress in a daze, while Jiang Li walked out of the room, closed the door, and watched the rain quietly by the railing of the bamboo building.

...Just now, for a moment, he wanted to tear Mu Xuezhi's mouth apart so that she could no longer speak or laugh, but gradually he realized that he had actually won.

If Mu Xuezhi was not interested in anything about him and was indifferent to him, then all his efforts during this period were in vain. But Mu Xuezhi would laugh when she saw him so lost, and she would laugh freely because she really began to care. She was no longer the proud and superior goddess, and there would be a day when she would be pulled down from the altar.

Smile, smile, there will be a time when you cry, there will be a time when you beg me for mercy, there will be a time when you start to go crazy for love, there will be such a day, Mu Xuezhi.

I won't let you go.

Jiang Li looked at the raindrops in front of him. He seemed to see his reflection in the raindrops. He seemed to see himself smiling ferociously. After a moment of trance, he came to his senses.

In fact, you already dislike her more than you like her, so why do you have to retaliate? Ignoring her is the best choice, right? It is because of your repeated mistakes that you have become what you are now, right?

Jiang Li suddenly felt a headache. He felt like there were two voices chattering in his head. He tried hard not to think about anything, but the more he tried, the more his head hurt. He stared at the heavy rain in front of him for a long time. The door behind him opened and Mu Bingning's voice came, "I'm done."

Jiang Li turned his head to look at her.

Mu Bingning has always had a slim figure, and this white dress suits her very well. It doesn't have many gorgeous and exquisite designs, but is just a simple white dress with a white ribbon tied around her waist, which highlights her slender waist, and the hem of the dress almost falls to her ankles. This was originally the dress Jiang Li prepared for Yue Ji, because Yue Ji's temperament is inexplicably charming, and she would look good in a simpler pure white dress. But when Mu Bingning puts it on, it has a completely different effect.

Mu Bingning's shoes were also soaked, so she stepped on the wooden floor with her bare white feet, her slightly curled toes like flower buds about to bloom.

Jiang Li and she stared at each other for a few seconds, and he asked, "Are you okay with your injuries?"

He could sense Mu Bingning's breath. She had passed the fifth level of the minor tribulation, so her body should have some hidden injuries from the thunder tribulation. Mu Bingning shook her head and whispered that it was okay.

After such a simple greeting, there was nothing more to say.

Mu Bing stared into his eyes, "I heard everything you said to Master just now."

Jiang Li hesitated for a moment, then said, "I'm sorry."

"Apologize to me for what?"

"In fact, your master's guess was quite correct. Maybe I really didn't like you that much. I was just deceiving myself. I wanted to buy myself some peace of mind by deceiving myself. I'm sorry for deceiving your feelings."

"Is this kind of thing important?" Mu Bingning asked in confusion.

"Isn't it important?"

"If it's all fake, your kindness to me is not fake."

"Actually... it's not that if someone treats you well, then you have to like that person."

"But don't I even have the qualifications to like you?" Mu Bingning asked seriously.

Mu Bingning seemed to have never changed. She never beat around the bush to test others. If she liked someone, she liked him. If she didn't like someone, she didn't like him. Although she thought a lot, what she did was very pure.

Jiang Li's eyes wandered, "Some things... can only be said to be regrettable."

Mu Bingning lowered her head.

The two seemed to have nothing to say to each other.

"How are you and Yueji doing lately?"

"……fine."

"What about Bai Sheng?"

"It's also very good."

Mu Bingning nodded slightly. She stopped looking at Jiang Li's face and looked at the heavy rain in front of them. Then the two of them were silent for a long time, and the rain never stopped.

It would be nice if it just kept raining.

Mu Bingning's hands gently grasped the railing. She didn't know how much time had passed before she suddenly whispered, "How many women have you cheated on in the past four years? Do you remember?"

"Can't remember clearly."

"One hundred." Mu Bingning said suddenly.

"You already know this, yet you're still asking?" Jiang Li looked at her with a helpless look.

Mu Bingning lowered her head again, "That's too much."

Jiang Li could only remain speechless. He always felt a sense of incongruity when looking at Mu Bingning's profile, as if that woman Mu Xuezhi was standing in front of him right now. If possible, he would like to slap Mu Xuezhi's butt hard right now!

Jiang Li felt his head hurting again. He always felt that he was crazy sometimes. His head would hurt whenever he thought about the things in the past. But the only way he found to escape was to numb himself. The more he numb himself, the more he fell into the quagmire. This was a vicious cycle that he could never escape.

Mu Bingning glanced at Jiang Li's profile. After a long while, she said, "I feel a little cold. I want to sleep for a while."

"Go to sleep." Jiang Li pointed to his room. Mu Bingning nodded gently and walked towards his room. When she reached the door, she suddenly paused, turned around, and looked into Jiang Li's eyes, "Do you want to sleep together?"

"Aren't you afraid that I'll do something to you?"

"Of course I'm not afraid to ask."

Jiang Li laughed. He leaned against the railing and looked at Mu Bingning. Mu Bingning was waiting for his answer. Jiang Li vaguely remembered that he and Mu Bingning had slept together four years ago, but they just took a nap together because they were tired from practicing sword. At that time, he was very well-behaved and did not do anything to Mu Bingning. Her body was cool and it was very comfortable to hug her in that hot summer.

"Okay."

Jiang Li came into her room. Mu Bingning climbed onto the bed first. She huddled against the corner and gently pulled the quilt. Jiang Li came to the bed, lifted the quilt, and then lay down on the bed.

It’s so strange, how come we slept together again?

Jiang Li swore that he had no evil thoughts towards Mu Bingning. This was supposed to be his nap time, but there was inexplicably Mu Bingning beside him. They were clearly lying on the same bed, but they were not close to each other.

They are all looking at the ceiling, perhaps thinking about their own thoughts. Perhaps some people's thoughts are related to each other, while others are not.

In fact, it seems that he and Mu Bingning don't have any grudges. The grudge four years ago has been settled. As for a new beginning? That's not necessary. Yue Ji will be furious at that time, and not only Yue Ji, but also Jiang Jinbie.

Will Yueji get mad at Zhu Qiutang then? And what about Jiang Chuyue?

Jiang Li's head started to hurt again as he thought about it. He has always been a mean person. If Yue Ji doesn't care at all how many women he has outside, he will be terrified again.

It seems like he is really hypocritical. He thinks he can be ambiguous with other women, but if Yue Ji is ambiguous with a man, he will go crazy.

There was a woman lying on the bed, but he was thinking about another woman in his head. Jiang Li suddenly felt a little uneasy. He turned his head to look at Mu Bingning, only to find that Mu Bingning was lying sideways and looking at him at this moment.

"Why are you staring at me?"

"Can't I even look?" Mu Bingning's voice sounded innocent, yet seemed to reveal a bit of grievance.

"There is a fee for taking a look."

"Ok?"

Jiang Li reached out and gently placed his hand on her waist.

Mu Bingning's waist is very slender and soft, and her body is always cold. Her body is not hot, but slightly cold. But it is very comfortable to hug. Jiang Li suddenly wants to touch her legs.

Wait, why are there evil thoughts in my head again?

"Why did you think of looking for my master? Do you want something from her?"

"No, I wanted to hook up with her."

Mu Bingning's expression froze slightly, and after a while she said "eh" softly to express her confusion.

"Is it weird?"

"Is it because Master is good-looking?"

"If you say she's pretty, you don't look much different from her. Maybe it's just because she's so high and cold that men want to conquer her more?" Jiang Li said casually, and then changed the subject the next second, "Can I touch your legs?"
