Why do you always want to be my Taoist partner?

"Of course." Jiang Li said seriously. Zhu Junhuang looked at Jiang Li with a complicated expression. "If it's really possible, then you have helped the two sisters a lot."

"This is what I should do."

"Qiu Tang should still be practicing in her room right now. Why don't I take you to find her now?"

"Well, that's fine too."

So Zhu Junhuang stood up, and Jiang Li followed her obediently. Zhu Taozhi seemed to be left out in the cold. Just as she was about to follow, Zhu Junhuang looked back at her and said, "Have you learned the swordplay I showed you yesterday? You'll be fighting against those young masters from aristocratic families at the Ice and Snow Festival tomorrow. Why don't you make some more preparations?"

Zhu Taozhi's eyes suddenly became gloomy and resentful, but she didn't dare to disobey her mother, so she had to lower her head and nodded obediently, while Jiang Li followed Zhu Junhuang out of the yard.

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

"Aunt Zhu, why don't you block the snowflakes?" Jiang Li asked her softly.

"I don't like it." Zhu Junhuang answered hurriedly. She just wanted the snowflakes to calm her hot blood. She didn't know what went wrong. When she saw Jiang Li today, she became particularly strange.

She had brought Jiang Li to the gate of Zhu Qiutang's courtyard. The two of them stood at the door. Jiang Li reached out his hand and gently shook off the snow on her shoulders. "Then I'll go find Qiutang first."

Zhu Junhuang responded indifferently and did not follow. Jiang Li walked into Zhu Qiutang's yard. There was a row of footprints in the yard, but they went back and forth and never reached the door, as if the person in the yard had hesitated for a long time whether to go out.

Jiang Li stood at the door of Zhu Qiutang's room, "Hello, hello, hello, hello, please open the door."

Jiang Li waited for several seconds before he heard Zhu Qiutang's voice, "I'm going to sleep. Come back tomorrow."

Jiang Li pushed the door open and saw Zhu Qiutang, who was hurriedly pulling up the quilt on the bed. Before she could completely cover herself with the quilt, Jiang Li had already reached the bed. He stretched out his hand and slapped her on the moon-like snow-white buttocks under her skirt.

She was wearing a fiery red nightgown. The slap made her head look up high. She turned around and looked at Jiang Li angrily. But before she could say anything, Jiang Li slapped her buttocks again. She bit her lips lightly and was about to curse Jiang Li, but Jiang Li had already stretched out his hand and lifted her chin, looking down at her, "It's been less than two months. Why do you want to be beaten when we first meet?"

"You're the one asking for a beating!"

"It's obvious that someone feels itchy again as soon as we meet, and he won't feel comfortable unless he slaps you twice." Jiang Li didn't care about her angry look now, and pretended to raise his hand to slap her on the butt. Zhu Qiutang's body trembled and she closed her eyes suddenly, but Jiang Li didn't slap her. His hand just fell lightly on the girl's delicate snow-white buttocks and gently rubbed her.

Zhu Qiutang slowly opened her eyes.

"I found a way to deal with your bad luck faster than I thought."

There was some confusion in Zhu Qiutang's eyes. Jiang Li's hand slowly moved from her snow-white buttocks to her waist, and then he used his fingertips to stroke her lower abdomen and chest, and finally gently touched the tip of her nose.

"So, there will be no more bad luck in the future, so stop hiding from me, okay?"

Zhu Qiutang didn't know what to say. Dabai jumped off Jiang Li's shoulder and jumped to Zhu Qiutang's side. Then Jiang Li heard Dabai say, "She has so much bad luck. This cat will take a long time to cope with it."

"How long is long?"

"Six or seven days." Dabai gently wagged his tail. "As long as I stay within a few meters of her, I can absorb it for no more than two hours a day, otherwise I will die of the stuffing."

"Thank you for your hard work. I'll give you some dried fish as a reward when we get home." Jiang Li touched Dabai's head, then picked it up by the neck and threw it aside. Then he looked at Zhu Qiutang who was lying on the bed and curled his lips.

"Can I sleep with you for a while?"

"Where's Taozhi?"

"I've met Taozhi. Her mother asked her to practice sword skills well. Let's go see her later." Jiang Li pinched her face. Zhu Qiutang hesitated for a moment, then she moved her body and gave half of her space to Jiang Li.

Jiang Li took off his shoes and his coat which was lightly covered with snow, and went to lie down in the bed that Zhu Qiutang had just warmed up. They both lay on their sides, facing each other. Jiang Li's hand first gently embraced her waist, then moved to her buttocks under her waist, and reached out his hand to pat it.

"Do you know why I beat you this time?"

Zhu Qiutang looked at him quietly but said nothing. She knew, of course, that the footprints in the courtyard outside the room had already betrayed everything.

After taking this photo, Jiang Li's hand gently touched her thigh again, lifted her skirt a little, and rubbed her thigh for a while. He leaned his cheek slightly towards Zhu Qiutang, looked into her shy eyes, and said nothing.

Zhu Qiutang's cheeks gradually turned red. She buried her face in Jiang Li's chest and said with a hint of gritted teeth, "Asshole."

Jiang Li held her in his arms, patted her back gently, and asked, "Have you thought about me during this time?"

"No."

"I'm going to bite you."

Jiang Li said angrily.

Chapter 214: Snowball Fight

The snow was falling outside the window. In the room, Zhu Qiutang's nightgown was placed messily aside. Her porcelain white body was now glowing rose pink. At this moment, she was curled up in Jiang Li's arms, and the quilt wrapped them tightly.

"It hurts." Zhu Qiutang muttered softly.

"Where does it hurt?"

"You... are going too far." Zhu Qiutang's voice sounded a bit like crying, but this time it sounded a little pitiful.

"You are the one who wanted to provoke me? You wrote me a few words, but you refused to come out to see me when you heard I was coming. If I don't teach you a lesson, won't you dare to do it again next time?"

"Then you can't, can't..."

"Can't what?"

"You can't bully that..."

"So which one do you prefer to be bullied?"

Zhu Qiutang certainly couldn't answer Jiang Li's question. She lowered her head and bit Jiang Li's chest, but that was all. Jiang Li gently hugged her body. After a long while, Zhu Qiutang raised her head and said, "My mother knows that my body is not clean. She asked me for a long time, but I didn't tell her."

"Then she should have guessed it. I've already met your mother." Jiang Li patted her back gently, "I'll take care of it, don't worry."

Zhu Qiutang hummed softly, and after a long while, she raised her head and asked, "Am I really the first one?"

"Yes."

"I do not believe."

"Why don't you believe it?"

"You... don't look like one at all."

"Not really." Jiang Li really liked the feeling of caressing her waist with his hands, because her waist was very soft and her skin was especially tender and smooth, as if moisture would come out if gently pinched.

Zhu Qiutang still felt a little uneasy in her heart. As soon as she raised her head, Jiang Li gently kissed her lips again, leaving her no time to speak. Gradually, her head became dizzy.

After a long time, Zhu Qiutang whispered, "I... don't feel any pain anymore."

"That?"

"This time, this time I'll do it..." she whispered.

"Do you know?"

"I, I've looked at the picture book. No, it's not difficult."

"Is it for me?"

Zhu Qiutang's cheeks flushed, "Don't talk anymore."

"Okay, don't tell me."

But Jiang Li's eyes were always looking at Zhu Qiutang's eyes with a slight smile. Zhu Qiutang had just sat up and sat on him. When she noticed his gaze, she found it increasingly difficult to do anything. After hesitating for a long time, she took the small piece of cloth beside the bed and covered Jiang Li's eyes, "You are not allowed to look at me."

"Okay, then give me your hand."

Jiang Li gently held Zhu Qiutang's hand, spread her five fingers apart and clenched them.

A thin layer of snow outside the window seemed to be suspended in mid-air, frozen there, like an eye, staring at the two people in the room.

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

Zhu Junhuang didn't know what was wrong with her.

She felt that her body was about to burn. It was obvious that there were her daughter and her daughter's man in the room, but she couldn't help but use her soul to spy on everything in the room through the snow. She had been in her room, rubbing her legs restlessly for a long time. Although she tried to wake herself up countless times, she found that she could not suppress the jealousy in her heart.

She even had the idea of ​​replacing the person sitting on Jiang Li with herself.

When had her heart of Taoism ever been so fragile? She had clearly tried to calm herself down countless times, but the images in her head had not yet stopped. She finally bit the hem of her dress gently, and her snow-white toes all curled up.

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

When Jiang Li and Zhu Qiutang woke up, it was already evening.

Jiang Li had hardly any rest in the past three days. It was a rare good sleep. Zhu Qiutang was very well behaved when she slept. She never moved around. She was in the same position when she woke up. Jiang Li personally put on Zhu Qiutang's clothes one by one. Zhu Qiutang was like a doll being played with by him. After she put on her clothes, Jiang Li half-knelt beside the bed and put on her shoes and socks. Then he took her to the dressing mirror and braided her hair.

Dabai in the corner yawned lazily and looked at the two people in front of him.

"Shall we go find Taozhi later?" Jiang Li asked softly.

Zhu Qiutang nodded, and Jiang Li braided her hair into a more dignified style. She changed into a crimson tasseled long skirt. Because of the cold expression on her face, she looked like a cold beauty, and it was impossible to associate her with the previous appearance of her lying on the bed with blushing cheeks and humming like a cat.

"Oh, by the way, your mother gave me this fruit, what is it?"

On the way to find the bamboo peach branch, Jiang Li took out the fruit and asked about it.

"Danxia Fengguo?"

The surprise on Zhu Qiutang's face was exactly the same as Zhu Taozhi's. She stared at Jiang Li's face blankly, then slowly explained, "This is a fruit grown on the ancestral tree of the Northern Territory. One is produced every five hundred years. Currently, there are only three on your mother's body at most. After you eat this fruit, if you encounter fatal damage one day in the future, this fruit will wrap you into a cocoon. Even a Mahayana cultivator will not be able to break the cocoon. Only then will the medicinal power of this Danxia Feng fruit be stimulated. After absorbing the Danxia Feng fruit, your spirit and cultivation will be greatly improved."

"You can eat it now. The Danxia Phoenix Fruit does not require any special refining after eating it."

Jiang Li brought the fruit to his mouth and ate it in a few bites. So, Zhu Junhuang gave him a big gift?

But Jiang Li was a little surprised. Logically, the Queen of the Northern Territory should be more repulsive to him. After all, he was a human from Zhongzhou, and her bloodline could even be said to be close to the blood of the gods. But the Queen of the Northern Territory seemed to be very nice to him the first time they met. And when Jiang Li looked at her eyes and expression, he always felt that she seemed to be... in love.

Although this adjective is strange, this is the result of Jiang Li's comprehensive analysis, and he also inexplicably has a strange desire for Zhu Junhuang.

There must be something wrong when something is abnormal. Jiang Li can only blame it on the two drops of Black Phoenix blood in his body. Perhaps that is why he has an inexplicable liking for Zhu Junhuang.

Fortunately, Zhu Junhuang couldn't yet tell that he had two drops of Black Phoenix blood, otherwise Jiang Li would have had a bad feeling.

Since I'm not that close to Zhu Junhuang yet, I'd better keep this matter secret for now.

Jiang Li didn't feel any changes in his body after eating the Danxia Fengguo. Perhaps he would have to wait until he encountered a fatal injury one day as Zhu Qiutang said, and then he would be able to truly experience the medicinal power of this Danxia Fengguo.

The two chatted along the way, leaving a row of footprints on the snow. As they walked, they came to Zhu Taozhi's courtyard. He and Zhu Qiutang walked in together. Zhu Taozhi was practicing sword in the courtyard.

When she saw Jiang Li, Zhu Taozhi's eyes lit up, but when she saw Zhu Qiutang, her eyes became somewhat dissatisfied.

"Why did you come back now?"

"I was just thinking about how to make Dabai better devour her bad luck. Dabai needs me to activate the secret method to assist him, and no one can disturb him. In just six or seven days, I can devour all the bad luck on her body."

Jiang Li said this seriously, but Zhu Qiutang's expression changed slightly.

When Jiang Li said this, did it mean that for the next six or seven days, she would have to spend some time with Jiang Li every day... Her cheeks suddenly felt hot, and she remembered those embarrassing questions that Jiang Li had deliberately asked her to answer when he was bullying her, but she still had to put on a cold expression.

Dabai, who was lying on Zhu Qiutang's shoulder, suddenly spoke at this moment.

"There is something I need to tell you."

Dabai wagged his tail. "According to my speculation, your good luck and her bad luck are one and the same. Your race was born blessed by heaven, but because you broke the rules, you were cursed. If I swallow her bad luck, your extraordinary good luck will also disappear."

Zhu Qiutang turned his head and looked at Zhutaozhi, and a heavy snowstorm was falling in front of them.

But Zhu Taozhi didn't show any regret on her face. Instead, she looked at the two of them in confusion, "Why are you looking at me? If my good luck is gone, it's gone. It wasn't supposed to be mine in the first place, and I don't care."

Zhu Taozhi glanced at Zhu Qiutang in front of him and said, "Now I don't owe you anything. I feel much more relieved."

Jiang Li breathed a sigh of relief. Although Zhu Taozhi and Zhu Qiutang did not have a good relationship, they were still sisters after all. Even though they had some quarrels and misunderstandings, Zhu Taozhi was still a kind and lovely girl.

"I don't want to practice sword anymore." Zhu Taozhi put away the sword and moved closer to Jiang Li. "Shall we build a snowman?"

"Didn't your mother ask you to practice sword skills well? There will be a competition tomorrow, right?"

"You compete for me."

"I think it has to be in accordance with the rules."

"Tell mother a thing. She seems to like you very much. Then tell her that you are my future husband and you can fight for me."

Jiang Li just learned from Zhu Taozhi that such a debate is held every year at the Ice and Snow Festival. The Northern Territory is ruled by the imperial power of their Zhu family, but there are several major families under the imperial power that also hold the lifeline of the Northern Territory. On weekdays, the major families do not submit to each other, so they will send their younger generations to debate and gamble at the Ice and Snow Festival.

As the Zhu family is the royal family of the Northern Territory, they naturally had to send someone to fight. In the past three years, it was Zhu Qiutang who fought on behalf of the Northern Territory. Zhu Qiutang had never let Zhu Junhuang down, and she had never lost a sword fight in the past three years.

But there were some changes in this year's sword fight. First, Zhu Taozhi is back. Since Princess Taozhi is back, it is natural to give Zhu Taozhi a chance to establish her authority.

However, Zhu Taozhi's cultivation is currently only at the first level of the Spirit Transformation Realm, and Zhu Qiutang had been suppressed for too long in the past few years because of his minor tribulation, so his cultivation had just broken through to the first level of the Spirit Transformation Realm some time ago. However, some of the cultivators in those Northern Territory families have already reached the third level of the Spirit Transformation Realm.

Zhu Taozhi wasn't afraid, because Zhu Junhuang would give her a pill that she had prepared tomorrow to temporarily improve her cultivation level. Besides, she had an excellent spiritual sword. But she felt a little shameful in her heart and didn't really want to participate.

Even outsiders knew that the two sisters did not have a good relationship. As soon as she came back, she replaced Zhu Qiutang's everything. I wonder how much gossip others would discuss when they saw this.

"Then I'll talk to your mother later to see if there's a chance for me to help you with the sword." Jiang Li promised Zhu Taozhi, and Zhu Taozhi's eyes suddenly brightened up, "Come and build a snowman with me."

"How can building a snowman be as fun as having a snowball fight?"
