Why do you always want to be my Taoist partner?

"Does Brother Jiang Li despise me for being lowly?"

"Why do you ask?"

Jiang Li would not agree with her answer. To answer her would only be to defend her, which was meaningless. He laughed more and more happily. Su Xixi then realized that she seemed to be unable to gain any advantage from Jiang Li.

She stopped talking and picked up the wine glasses on the table and drank one after another. Jiang Li did not stop her. He watched her raise her head again and again. The clear wine occasionally overflowed from the corners of her mouth. Her aura seemed particularly heroic. Jiang Li did not say anything to dissuade her. He watched her cheeks getting redder and her skin getting hotter. Jiang Li suddenly reached out and poked her waist.

Su Xixi's body suddenly curled up and she almost vomited the wine she had just drunk. She turned around and looked at Jiang Li's childish expression as if he had succeeded in a prank.

"you……"

"Drink less." Jiang Li finally spoke.

Su Xixi hummed softly, then leaned closer into his arms again. Although they were in public, she did not look shy or coy at all.

The second half of the banquet was the competition that Ye Guixu had mentioned. All monks invited to the banquet could participate, and the final winner could take away four pears.

"I'm drunk, Brother Jiang Li."

"Oh."

"I want to eat pears." She looked into Jiang Li's eyes directly, not hiding her thoughts at all.

“…You can fight for it yourself.”

"I'm drunk. What if someone takes advantage of me?" She hugged Jiang Li's neck, buried her cheek in his neck, and breathed hotly down at him.

Her words were interesting. She didn't say she was afraid of being hurt, but only that she was afraid of being taken advantage of. Jiang Li stretched out his hand and lifted her cheek slightly.

Su Xixi's breath seemed to still smell of alcohol, her eyes were hazy with drunkenness, and she began to act like a spoiled child, "Brother Jiang Li..."

"Your tone is so disgusting." Jiang Li couldn't help but complain.

"I just want to disgust you." Su Xixi muttered nonchalantly.

But Jiang Li still showed no sign of wanting to move. The pleading on Su Xixi's face gradually turned into grievance, and she looked pitiful.

Jiang Li thought for a moment, "Pinch my tail and I'll go grab the pear for you, okay?"

Su Xixi's eyes widened, and she punched Jiang Li's chest with her little fist, "So bad."

"Who made you so boring?"

It's not like Jiang Li can't see through her cultivation level. She herself has reached the eighth level of the Minor Tribulation Realm. She looks weak and pitiful on weekdays, but in fact, she is the one with the highest cultivation level among all the young cultivators present.

The cultivation level of the demon race is slightly higher, which comes from their unique bloodline, but it also makes it more difficult for them to master the various methods of the human race.

Even though she was drunk, her cultivation level was enough to neutralize the alcohol in just a moment. She begged and acted like a spoiled child just to know Jiang Li's attitude.

Su Xixi pounded her little fist again, then she slowly leaned closer to Jiang Li's ear, "The tail... can't be pinched here."

ps: ok, caught up!

Chapter 193: Chapter : Care

The rain is falling heavily.

Su Xixi was sitting on Jiang Li at this moment, with her slender hands around his neck. She whispered in Jiang Li's ear, and her narrow and charming eyes seemed to try to glimpse a little bit of heartbeat, or greed in Jiang Li's eyes.

It’s a pity that his eyes were too deep and Su Xixi couldn’t see anything.

"It would be so boring if we can't do it here." Jiang Li turned his head slightly and looked at her with a smile.

"Do you want to see me unable to stand up straight in public because of you?" Su Xixi leaned close to his ear again, but this time her voice was mixed with some panting.

“I think it’s quite interesting.”

As soon as Jiang Li said this, Su Xixi's eyes gradually became a little cold.

"You just want to make me unhappy on purpose."

"If you're happy, then that'll probably make me unhappy."

"how come?"

"That's why women are the most difficult creatures." Jiang Li stretched out his hand and pinched her face twice, then said, "Go and fight on your own. Anyway, there are almost no opponents for you here."

Seeing Jiang Li's firm attitude, Su Xixi also understood. In fact, she didn't expect much from Jiang Li. She knew very well from the beginning that Jiang Li would not take the bait. But she still wanted to give it a try. She wanted to see if he would obey her coquettish words. But it seemed that the more she did this, the cheaper she became in front of him.

According to Jiang Li's theory, if you encounter a target that is difficult to conquer, the best way is not to fight to the death, but to stop the loss in time. The more you fight to the death, the more you will get stuck in it, and the easier it will be for you to indulge in it and find it difficult to extricate yourself.

Su Xixi got off Jiang Li's body, and the fox tail behind her gently swept his face. Then she went to the arena for the competition. She used her spiritual energy to deliberately shield the raindrops falling on her. The two people on the stage had not yet decided the winner, but she was staring quietly from the audience. The two male cultivators on the stage noticed her gaze and tried their best. In the end, the loser left the stage unwillingly, and Su Xixi jumped up and stepped onto the stage.

The person opposite was just a cultivator in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul. Originally, his eyes were full of amusement, but when the aura of Su Xixi's cultivation was revealed, most of the people at the banquet were stunned for a moment.

You should know that after Su Xixi came to Fengling Yueying Sect, she never took the initiative to show her cultivation level, and she has never even been seen practicing sword. Most of the time, she was playing a guqin or a bamboo flute. Who would have thought that such a delicate and fragile woman had a cultivation level of the eighth level of the minor calamity and used a heavy sword.

She was holding a black and red broadsword, which looked in particularly strange contrast with her slender body. Although it was a heavy sword, the blade was not dull at all. When she raised the blade, the raindrops falling on the blade were easily separated.

"I draw my sword." Su Xixi's tone was still so soft, but when she drew her sword, the sword light appeared in the rain curtain beside her at the same time. Her figure disappeared in the rain curtain for a moment, and when she appeared again, she had used the sword to knock the cultivator opposite her off the sword-discussing platform.

She continued to stand there quietly, her eyes still looking delicate and charming, but no cultivator in the audience dared to step forward to fight.

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

"I want to try it." Ye Guixu suddenly said to Jiang Li.

"Your chance of winning her is around 40%. I don't recommend it." Jiang Li raised his glass and took another sip, then said calmly.

"I have passed the fourth level of minor tribulation and have a spotless golden body!"

"I know, but it's no use."

The so-called overcoming the minor tribulation is more often a process of accumulating resources for cultivation. If an ordinary cultivator wants to overcome the minor tribulation, he has to find many spiritual medicines and fruits to improve himself, which are used to temper the body and nourish the soul. However, a genius of the sect like Ye Guixu has never lacked these resources, so his improvement in overcoming the minor tribulation will be particularly fast. It is estimated that by the time of the Zhongzhou Competition, his cultivation should have directly broken through the tenth level of overcoming the minor tribulation.

"Brother Jiang, do you really think so?"

"That's probably what I guess. Her sword skills are pretty impressive."

Jiang Li couldn't help but admire the fox clan's swordsmanship, the ideas were particularly interesting, and it was that swordsmanship that gave him new ideas, integrating sword momentum into sword moves. As long as the sword moves were taught, the opponent would be able to quickly comprehend the sword intent from them. As long as the talent was good enough, one would be able to comprehend the sword momentum.

Ye Guixu was a little frustrated, but he soon cheered up and began to encourage Jiang Li, "Brother Jiang, you go up?"

Jiang Li rolled his eyes at him, "What am I doing here?"

"No way, no way, Brother Jiang, you are not being too kind to women, are you? No way, no way? Brother Jiang, you are not being taken in by the evil fox, are you?"

Jiang Li reached out and patted his shoulder. "She has the ability to take those pears herself, but she tried to persuade me to go before, just to test my ability and see if it's worth her efforts. She also wanted to test her own charm. That's why I didn't bother to go up. But if I go up and beat her now, what if she pesters me next?"

"Then you also test her depth, and then run away?"

"...You think everyone is like you. I, Jiang Xiaoli, act like a gentleman."

Although Ye Guixu's face was full of doubt, he finally smiled, nodded, and continued drinking with Jiang Li. Perhaps it was because the four pears were too tempting, or perhaps it was to get some attention from Su Xixi. Many cultivators came forward from the stage one after another, but most of them could not last more than three moves at the hands of Su Xixi. This kind of round-robin battle was not excessive. After all, what was really outrageous was Su Xixi's cultivation level.

Jiang Li seemed to have suddenly thought of something, and called out Su Yaoyao's name, calling Su Yaoyao, who was drinking with Ye Linglong, over. Su Yaoyao obediently walked to his side, but there was no place for him to sit. Jiang Li said softly, "Come here, I want to talk to you."

Su Yaoyao hesitated for a moment, then came to Jiang Li's side, and then... sat on him.

"I'm not asking you to sit on my lap." Jiang Li muttered helplessly, but he gently hugged her waist, "But since you're sitting, just sit."

Su Yaoyao seemed to have drunk a lot of wine with Ye Linglong just now, and her cheeks were flushed. Jiang Li pinched her earlobe and said, "Let the alcohol dissipate first. I will teach you something."

"Eh?"

Su Yaoyao was very obedient, and soon her eyes became clear. Jiang Li looked at Su Xixi on the stage, and told her in Su Xixi's ear about the loopholes in the sword technique used by Su Yaoyao.

Although the two sisters practiced the same swordsmanship, they naturally understood each other because they used different swords. The most important thing about heavy swords is that great force can create miracles. In Jiang Li's eyes, Su Xixi's swordsmanship was full of loopholes.

Jiang Li whispered in Su Yaoyao's ear that it would take about an incense stick of time. Su Yaoyao nodded repeatedly, and there seemed to be some understanding in her eyes.

"Do you understand everything?"

"understood."

"Okay, then go and win back those four pears. I gave you one yesterday, so when you win it back I want two." Jiang Li looked like a rogue.

Su Yaoyao didn't care about these things, but she bit her lips lightly, feeling a little uneasy, "What if I lose?"

"If you lose, I'll pinch your tail tonight."

"No!" Su Yaoyao's voice was a little hurried.

"Then you are not allowed to lose. Go quickly." Jiang Li released his hands around her waist, but Su Yaoyao was still very unconfident. Her cultivation was one small realm lower than Su Xixi's, and Su Xixi was using a heavy sword. She had obtained much more cultivation resources than her since childhood. The difference between their cultivation was one small realm, but the difference in their physical bodies was not a little bit.

"But, but my sword is not as good as hers." Su Yaoyao lowered her eyelashes.

"Here you go." Jiang Li took out his Xuehua Sword and then gave the sword spirit in the Xuehua Sword an order to be obedient. The arrogant Xuehua Sword Spirit finally obeyed his words. After all, Jiang Li had made a big promise to it before that one day it would see Mu Xuezhi, that arrogant woman, crying in the middle of the night.

But at this moment Su Yaoyao was still very nervous. Although Jiang Li told her the loopholes in every level of Su Xixi's swordsmanship, but... is it really useful?

Although that guy was very powerful, Su Yaoyao still felt uneasy. For her, it was very difficult to challenge her sister. She hesitated for a long time on the stage, watching her sister draw her sword again and again, until there was finally no one left to go up and when it was about to be announced that Su Xixi had won the final victory, Su Yaoyao carefully raised her hand.

"Also, there's me."

She also stepped onto the sword-fighting stage.

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

Torrential rain.

Not a drop of rain fell on the two fox sisters on the stage. Su Xixi looked at Su Yaoyao in front of her through the rain, her head full of confusion. She couldn't understand why Su Yaoyao came up to join in the fun.

After all, no matter how you think about it, you are just overestimating your own capabilities.

Currently, the only ones in the fox clan who truly have royal blood flowing in their veins are her, Su Yaoyao, and their mother, the current Fox Emperor. However, her and Su Yaoyao's bloodlines are actually incomplete.

Only the Fox Emperor is a true nine-tailed fox, and they can only awaken the blood in their bodies through continuous practice. However, how many tails they can finally open can only be said to be luck, so physical practice is especially important for them. Su Xixi grew up eating all kinds of natural treasures. She can be said to be the real apple of everyone's eye. This is also the most important reason why she can easily fool many people. The more people who have no lack of love, the easier it is for them to get love.

Her tails had already grown to six, but she didn't know how many Su Yaoyao had grown.

Although the two are sisters, their relationship is actually very weak. When she went to visit Jiang Li in the courtyard before, she kept talking about how good he was to Su Yaoyao, but in fact, she was just talk.

Su Xixi doesn't care about the so-called sisterhood, or perhaps it can be said that there is nothing in this world worth her caring about.

Chapter 194: Chapter Sisters

"Yaoyao, why are you here?"

Su Xixi first pointed the tip of the sword on the ground and asked softly.

Su Yaoyao hesitated for a moment and replied in a low voice, "I want to try it too."

"I'm not trying to bully you, but I still suggest you go down, lest I accidentally hurt you and make you a laughing stock to others." Su Xixi's tone was cordial, yet it carried a hint of unquestionable authority.

Su Yaoyao was not good at talking and could not defeat her, so she just replied stubbornly in a low voice, "I want to try."

Su Xixi's eyes were still gentle, but the fox tail behind her swayed slightly and split in everyone's sight. Six snow-white fox tails separated behind her, and her eyes gradually turned golden, which was a true manifestation of the activation of the power of her bloodline.

Su Yaoyao, like her, tried hard to activate her bloodline, but after a moment, the fox tails behind her only turned into three, and her eyes did not even turn completely golden, but were only slightly tinted with a dark gold hue.

"Are you sure you want to try it with me?" Su Xixi advised again.

Su Yaoyao hummed softly.

"Is that what he meant?"

Su Yaoyao didn't say anything, she didn't know how to answer, but it was precisely because of this performance that Su Xixi quickly knew the answer. She glanced at Jiang Li from a distance. Jiang Li was holding a wine glass with a bright smile, but Su Xixi really couldn't understand why he did this. After all, Su Yaoyao had no chance of winning in front of her.

But since Su Yaoyao was so stubborn, she couldn't say anything more. She raised the heavy sword in her hand. It was hard to imagine that her slender arms could burst out with such great power. She slashed towards Su Yaoyao in the rain. What Su Yaoyao recalled in her mind were the details of the battle that Jiang Li had carefully told her before. She leaned slightly to the left, and the tip of the sword was pointing directly at the weakest part of her body and the most difficult part to defend in this move.

Su Xixi was stunned. She had already returned to defend as quickly as possible, but was still nearly stabbed in the vitals by Su Yaoyao's sword. She thought she knew the flaws of each of her swords, but how could Su Yaoyao know?

Su Xixi could only temporarily classify all this as a coincidence. She swung out her next sword after a moment, but Su Yaoyao's move also shocked her again. This time, she stabbed the place where she could not change her moves and could only defend herself.

So this sword fight, which Su Xixi thought she had a sure win, has now become confusing.

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

offstage.

"Who will win?" Ye Guixu asked Jiang Li curiously.

"Yaoyao."
