Why do you always want to be my Taoist partner?

"understood."

When Mu Xuezhi finished practicing the sword technique, Jiang Li nodded slightly and said goodbye to Mu Xuezhi.

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

After returning to the bamboo building, Jiang Li closed his eyes and began to replicate Mu Xuezhi's swordsmanship in his mind. What was important was never the moves, but the sword intent and sword force contained in each of her swords. He tried hard to sense every trace of sword force, but recalling it like this was really a drain on his soul.

Su Yaoyao was watching over him carefully. When Jiang Li opened his eyes, Su Yaoyao whispered, "I'm going to cook noodles. Do you want to eat?"

"Eat a little."

So Su Yaoyao went to cook noodles and came back. She also fried two eggs that were crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. The two of them sat at the table. Su Yaoyao slurped the noodles in small bites, occasionally looking up and stealing a glance at him.

Jiang Li seemed to be worried and was still in a daze. He only picked up his chopsticks after Su Yaoyao had finished her noodles.

"What are you thinking about?" Su Yaoyao asked in a low voice.

Jiang Li came back to his senses and shook his head again, "Nothing."

He lowered his head and slurped the noodles in big mouthfuls. He quickly finished the bowl of noodles. After dinner, he returned to his room, took out a blank notebook, and began to draw Su Yaoyao's swordsmanship.

Compared to how to improve Mu Xuezhi's sword skills, improving Su Yaoyao's Moon-Slaying Sword Technique was actually much simpler. During the whole night, Jiang Li had deduced the second to fourth moves in his mind. The next morning, when Su Yaoyao woke up and came to his room, he was still writing and drawing on the blank notebook.

Su Yaoyao didn't dare to disturb him, and waited for a long time before he stopped writing. Just as she was about to speak in a low voice, Jiang Li threw the book full of sword moves to Su Yaoyao, "Practice moves one to five according to this. I will give you the remaining four moves as soon as possible in the next two days."

"Actually, there's no need to be so anxious."

"I'm busy with other things lately, so I'll deal with yours first." Jiang Li replied with a wry smile. His head was aching now.

He only has so much soul in total, and although it will be slowly replenished after being consumed, this process is definitely more painful than having a few holes pierced in his body. However, this is a talent that ordinary people cannot even dream of. If others had a choice, they would probably be willing to exchange this little pain for his incredible talent.

"It's burnt out." Jiang Li breathed a sigh of relief. At this moment, he could hardly do anything. He came to the bed and was about to lie down. Su Yaoyao looked at his profile and suddenly asked in a low voice, "Are you going to rest?"

"Yeah, get some sleep."

Su Yaoyao's hands gently pinched the hem of her skirt. After a while, she looked up at his eyes. But this time, her eyes finally stopped dodging. She looked at Jiang Li seriously, her eyes sparkling. "Then...are you short of a pillow?"

Jiang Li saw the heat in her eyes, but this time he subconsciously avoided it. After a second or two, he replied casually, "Then... lie down for a while."

Su Yaoyao came to his bedside, sat at the head of his bed, carefully smoothed the hem of her skirt, and stretched her long legs straight. Jiang Li naturally rested the back of his head on her snow-white thighs clad in white silk stockings, while Su Yaoyao reached out and gently pressed his head.

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

Jiang Li slept for a long time, until the evening, when the pain in his head was slightly relieved. He sat up, and Su Yaoyao had fallen asleep leaning against the wall. Jiang Li stood up to wake her up, and he reached out and pinched her face, "Thank you for your hard work."

"It's okay." The little fox girl raised her face, her eyes sparkling, but Jiang Li just pinched her face, turned and went to the kitchen, and made two dishes for dinner. After dinner, Su Yaoyao began to practice sword in the yard according to the sword manual Jiang Li gave her, but she always failed to meet Jiang Li's requirements in some aspects. Jiang Li taught her gently and patiently many times, and Su Yaoyao gradually learned the second move.

"Am I... a little too stupid?"

"It's okay. Don't be so impatient. Just be patient. You will learn it sooner or later." Jiang Li replied casually, "Just consolidate the first three moves slowly. I'm going to study the rest of the sword techniques in my room."

Su Yaoyao could only watch him go upstairs. The light in his room was on all the time, so Su Yaoyao continued to practice swordplay under the bamboo building until she was exhausted. The sky began to turn pale. She went to the next room to take a shower, changed into a white suspender nightgown, and came to Jiang Li's room again. She whispered, "Do you want to sleep for a while?"

"You get some sleep first, the seventh move will be ready soon." Jiang Li answered casually, and Su Yaoyao climbed onto his bed. She didn't cover herself with a quilt, just lay on her side and looked at his profile. She was very quiet and didn't make any sound. After waiting for a long time, Jiang Li finished the improvement of her seventh move of swordsmanship. Then he came to the bed and lay down naturally beside Su Yaoyao.

Su Yaoyao turned her back to him. Jiang Li thought she was shy until her snow-white fox tail moved slightly and then rubbed his face with it.

"Here you go...hold it." Su Yaoyao said in a low voice.

So Jiang Li hugged her big tail, and Su Yaoyao's body tensed up all of a sudden, and it took a while for her to relax. She bit her lips gently, trying to get used to the strange feeling, and closed her eyes to stop herself from thinking about it. Jiang Li was probably too sleepy and fell asleep quickly. On the contrary, Su Yaoyao couldn't fall asleep. She just felt a faint itch on her body.

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

When Jiang Li woke up, it was almost evening. He felt an itch on the side of his mouth. It turned out to be the little fox's tail on his cheek. But there were some water stains on the tip of her tail. Jiang Li thought that maybe he had bitten it unconsciously in his sleep?

He sat up and stretched, and the little fox whispered, "You're awake..."

Jiang Li got out of bed and looked at Su Yaoyao who was lying on the bed. Su Yaoyao also sat up slowly, but when she got out of bed, Jiang Li always felt that her posture was a little strange. Her legs were tightly together and she seemed a little uneasy. Jiang Li looked at her blushing cheeks, and then lowered his eyes a few points, and then he vaguely saw the crystal water stains flowing on the inside of her thighs under her skirt.

Chapter 199: Chapter Dance

Jiang Li was not only good at pretending to be confused, he was also good at pretending to be blind, so he pretended not to see anything and looked away for a moment, but this little action was still caught by Su Yaoyao. She also turned her face away, and after a while she stammered, "Originally, there's nothing wrong with holding the tail..."

"But, but you suddenly bit my tail several times..."

"I dreamed of eating delicious food." Jiang Li scratched his head, then found an excuse to leave for the time being, "I'm going to make dinner."

He just casually cooked two dishes for dinner, but he never thought that while he and Su Yaoyao were having dinner, someone came to his bamboo house. Bai Sheng, wearing a white palace dress and with her hands behind her back, came to his side.

"Junior Sister Bai Sheng, would you like to eat something?" Jiang Li's expression was very natural, and he didn't look guilty at all. However, Su Yaoyao suddenly became a little nervous.

Another strange woman she had never met before.

Bai Sheng gently placed his hand on Jiang Li's shoulder. "I just had dinner with Sister Jin Bie. What has Senior Brother Jiang Li been busy with recently?"

"I have a lot of things to do. Sect Master Mu asked me to teach her how to practice sword. I will have to practice sword with Sect Master Mu in a while. At the end of the month, I have some things to do and I have to go out again." Jiang Li answered very frankly. Bai Sheng bent down slightly and moved to Jiang Li's side to look at his profile. "Senior Brother Jiang Li looks very tired."

"Really?" Jiang Li was stunned.

"Yes, there is." Bai Sheng nodded in response.

Jiang Li smiled bitterly, "It's actually okay."

Bai Sheng sat down beside him and started to watch him eat dinner. After dinner, Su Yaoyao cleaned up the dishes and went to the kitchen. Jiang Li thought for a while, "I still have to study the swordsmanship for Su Yaoyao tonight, so I guess I'll be a bit busy."

"Then I'll wait for Senior Brother Jiang Li to finish his work."

Bai Sheng picked up the handkerchief and gently wiped the oil stains from the corners of Jiang Li's mouth. Jiang Li looked into her gentle eyes and leaned in to give her a kiss on the cheek.

Bai Sheng laughed.

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

in the room.

Jiang Li was studying the Moon-Slaying Sword Technique, while Bai Sheng was lying on her side on his bed, looking at him tenderly. She did not make a sound to disturb Jiang Li, as if just looking at him like this was already beautiful enough.

It is easy to forget the time when studying swordsmanship. After Jiang Li finished his work, he looked out the window. It was already slightly bright. He came to his senses and looked at Bai Sheng lying on the bed. When he turned his head, Bai Sheng winked playfully.

"Are you done with your work?" Bai Sheng asked in a low voice.

"Yeah." Jiang Li took off his coat, extinguished the glowstone in the room, and then came to the bed. Bai Sheng gave him half of the warm quilt. Jiang Li's voice was slightly apologetic, "Thank you for waiting for me for so long."

"It's okay. It's quite interesting to see Brother Jiang Li studying swordsmanship."

"What's the fun?"

"Because when he's serious, Senior Brother Jiang Li is very good-looking." Bai Sheng's voice was so soft. She gently raised her legs and hooked them around Jiang Li's body. Then she reached out and hugged Jiang Li into her arms, whispering, "Thank you for your hard work, Senior Brother Jiang Li."

Bai Sheng's embrace was soft and warm. Jiang Li looked into her eyes in the dim light, then lowered his head and gently pecked her pink lips.

Bai Sheng also raised her little face and pecked him lightly on the cheek.

The two of them pecked at each other like this for several times, then stared into each other's eyes, playing a game where whoever laughed first lost.

In the end, Bai Sheng couldn't help laughing first. She buried her little face in Jiang Li's chest and rubbed it for several times. Then Jiang Li also lowered his head and buried his cheek in her chest and rubbed it.

"I always saw Senior Brother Jiang Li being lazy in the past. It's rare to see Senior Brother Jiang Li doing something seriously."

"There's always a time to make intermittent efforts." Jiang Li sniffed the scent on Bai Sheng's body, then raised his head, "Junior Sister Bai Sheng, why does it smell like milk?"

"Maybe it's the smell of the perfume that Jin Bei shared with me?"

"It doesn't smell like it to me."

"Then Senior Brother Jiang Li, come closer and smell it?" Jiang Li lowered his head and moved closer to her collarbone, almost sniffing it face to face. After a while, Jiang Li stuck out his tongue and gently licked her porcelain-white and delicate collarbone.

"Itchy." Bai Sheng smiled happily.

"It smells really good." Jiang Li buried his cheek in it.

This time, Bai Sheng neither dodged nor hit Jiang Li. Instead, she stretched out her hand especially gently and patted him on the back lightly. Junior Sister Bai Sheng's heart was so big that Jiang Li almost couldn't breathe.

"Satisfied." Jiang Li closed his eyes contentedly.

This time, it was Bai Sheng who laughed, "Brother Jiang Li, are you satisfied with just this?"

"It turns out there are more benefits!" Jiang Li looked into her eyes.

"This skirt is very troublesome to untie. Senior Brother Jiang Li will have to do it himself."

"I'm good at this!"

Bai Sheng's eyes suddenly turned resentful again, "I regret it."

"Hehe, how can you regret it now that you're on a pirate ship?" Jiang Li reached out and began to untie her blouse. After peeling off the blouse, there was still an inner lining, and under the inner lining was an undergarment. Jiang Li felt like he was peeling the shell of a lychee, and every time he peeled off a bit, more of the crystal flesh would be exposed.

Bai Sheng tapped his forehead with her fingertips and pursed her lips slightly. Her voice was clear and gentle, with a hint of coquettishness.

"Only kissing, no biting."

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

Su Yaoyao practiced sword skills downstairs all night until she was exhausted. She returned to her room, took a shower alone, and then lay down on the bed. However, she tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep.

Of course, she couldn't go to Jiang Li's room at this time. After all, the girl who came to see him was in his room. What were they doing? Were they asleep? Or were they whispering in bed? Who was hugging whom? What intimate love words would they say before going to bed?

It started raining outside the window again. Su Yaoyao looked at the raindrops outside the window and suddenly felt a little cold. She tried to grab the quilt and wrap herself tightly. She felt that she couldn't think about it anymore. If she thought about it anymore, she would be even colder and couldn't sleep.

A girl's voice could be faintly heard from the next room. She pricked up her snow-white fox ears and listened carefully.

"Excessive."

"I was obviously obedient!"

"I said you are not allowed to bite. I didn't say you are allowed to bite, Senior Brother Jiang Li... Your tongue is spinning."

"That's not impossible."

"Shame on you, you disgusting bastard."

"Kiss me, don't be angry."

"No kiss, no kiss, that's enough."

"I didn't kiss enough."

"What would be enough?"

“It’s never enough.”

Those words were clearly so corny and embarrassing that they made her scalp numb, but the more Su Yaoyao listened, the colder she felt. She pulled the quilt again until her cheeks were completely buried in it. She hugged her fox tail, lowered her head, and gently bit her tail.

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

It was noon when Jiang Li and Bai Sheng woke up. He went to the bamboo forest to catch a chicken, then he took the jade token and held Bai Sheng's hand and went to the canteen to get some ingredients. They cooked a large table of dishes. When the dishes were almost ready, Bai Sheng went to Su Yaoyao's room and called her to get up.

Bai Sheng looked at Su Yaoyao lying on the bed. She hadn't woken up yet. She was holding her tail and curled up. She suddenly felt that this sleeping position was very familiar because she always slept like this in the past. She moved very carefully and was about to call Su Yaoyao to get up, but she was stunned for a moment because she saw some dried tears in the corners of Su Yaoyao's eyes.

Bai Sheng just thought about it and had some guesses, but in the end he just shook his head helplessly.

Sometimes she would wonder whether meeting Jiang Li was luck or misfortune. If it was misfortune, Jiang Li never hooked up with any of his senior sisters from Xuantian Dao Ji Zong after her, and Jiang Li had never treated her badly. She was indeed very happy now, so she would always feel lucky in the end.

If she had not met Jiang Li, her life trajectory would seem to be completely different. She would practice sword alone in Jijian Mountain, still be lonely, still have few friends, and still be the submissive Junior Sister Bai Sheng.

Having someone you love will make you braver.

Bai Sheng stood there for a long time, and finally called Su Yaoyao's name softly. Su Yaoyao slowly opened her eyes and looked at the girl in front of her. She sat up in panic, and her fox ears trembled uneasily.

"Senior Brother Jiang Li has prepared a large table of dishes. It's time to get up and eat."

Su Yaoyao nodded hurriedly, then went to the bedside to get her clothes. Bai Sheng looked out the window. After a while, she suddenly said, "My name is Bai Sheng, and I'm Senior Brother Jiang Li's..."

When she said this, she was stunned for a moment, and then she couldn't stop laughing. The meaning of this laughter was not self-deprecating, but probably just because she found it funny.

"He is Senior Brother Jiang Li's good friend." She finally said this again.

Su Yaoyao stared at her profile in a daze, but Bai Sheng didn't care. "Senior Brother Jiang Li seems to have a lot of good friends like me."

"I thought... you were his Taoist partner."

Bai Sheng just smiled playfully, "It's probably harder than climbing to the sky to get Senior Brother Jiang Li to admit that one of his good friends is his Taoist partner."

Su Yaoyao hesitated for a long time and asked a question that seemed to be wrong, "Then why are you still..."

Bai Sheng raised her face, the weak light from the window fell on her porcelain-white cheeks, illuminating her eyes, "Because I believe that one day, Senior Brother Jiang Li will also be full of courage, so I just need to wait for him."

"Alright, alright, hurry up and get up. Senior Brother Jiang Li said he made your favorite fried meatballs."

Su Yaoyao hurriedly put on her clothes and walked out. The three of them ate lunch together under the eaves of the bamboo building. After lunch, Bai Sheng put her legs on Jiang Li's legs. Her eyes were playful, "Jin Bie and I have learned dancing recently."

"Great, then would I have the honor to watch Junior Sister Bai Sheng dance for me?"
