Why do you always want to be my Taoist partner?

"Actually, there's no point in saying goodbye. We'll see each other again in two months. I promised her that I would accompany her up the stairs then."

"She really... fell in love with you?" Mu Xuezhi hesitated.

Jiang Li turned to look at her, but his expression was helpless.

"I just beat her in a sword fight, and she seemed to fall in love with me. I clearly didn't do anything else. If you say that it's because she's a sword fanatic, and the Millennium Sword is everything to her, and suddenly someone appears who is better than her in this area, so she fell in love with me... Although it makes sense when you think about it, if I have to love her because of this, isn't it a bit unfair to me?"

"Aren't you too late to secretly rejoice?"

"The Queen of the Northern Territory treated me like this too. I was hesitant and reluctant for several days. Can't you give me a chance to hesitant and reluctant and then talk it out?" Jiang Li answered with confidence.

"The Queen of the Northern Territory...really?"

"It's fake, I'm just saying it."

"Then how did you get the Danxia Fengguo?"

"The bamboo and peach branches gave it to me."

Mu Xuezhi breathed a sigh of relief, but for some reason, she suddenly felt that Jiang Li might be lying. After she took a step or two, she saw that Jiang Li was still standing there. She turned around and looked at Jiang Li's face, "If you want to say goodbye, I won't stop you."

"I just said a few words to her." Jiang Li said and walked back to the yard.

At this moment, Wen Liqing was still lying on the table, her body trembling occasionally. Jiang Li came and sat beside her, gently poking her cheek.

Wen Liqing slowly opened his eyes.

"I'm going back to Zhongzhou."

Wen Liqing nodded softly.

The two stared at each other for a long while, and Wen Liqing whispered, "I originally wanted to... become your Taoist partner first."

"What do you mean?"

"Don't we need to practice together... to be a Taoist couple?"

"Who told you that?"

“That’s what the books say.”

Jiang Li reached out and tapped her head, "We became Taoist couples first and then practiced dual cultivation."

"Then what is my half...?"

"Half is half."

Wen Liqing let out a sound of grievance, and whispered, "I know I was wrong."

"What's wrong?"

"I wanted Mu Xuezhi to see it on purpose... If I make you angry, you will want to punish me again. I thought that by doing this, you would... practice dual cultivation with me."

"What are you anxious about?"

"This is my first time being someone's half-companion... I have no experience and don't know what to do... I only know how to practice swordsmanship."

"Alright, alright, let's talk about the future later. I have to go back now. It will be two months before we meet again."

Wen Liqing nodded slightly, she slowly stood up, then took Jiang Li's hand and walked into the room. Then Jiang Li saw her gently lift up the hem of her skirt, her pantyhose were pulled down to her knees, and the small oval jade stone returned to Jiang Li's hand, but now it was covered with water stains.

"This thing... is so bad..."

"I'll punish you with this next time you don't obey."

For some reason, Jiang Li had a feeling that Wen Liqing would do something bad next time after he said this. Although Wen Liqing seemed to nod obediently, he quickly replied, "I won't dare to do that next time."

"Then I really have to go. Let me hug you." Jiang Li stretched out his hand and gently held Wen Liqing in his arms.

Wen Liqing also reached out and gently hugged him. The two hugged for a while. Wen Liqing suddenly asked in a low voice, "Half-Daoist companion... can I kiss you?"

Jiang Li leaned in and kissed her gently on the cheek.

"Just... a kiss on the cheek?"

Jiang Li looked at her seriously, then lowered his head and gave her a kiss on the hollowed-out part of her neckline.

Wen Liqing's cheeks flushed again. Jiang Li loosened his arms around her. She stood there looking at Jiang Li, "You, you go."

"Don't worry, I won't be sad. If I am sad, I will practice swordplay."

"I'll come with you to the top of the stairs in two months. Please take good care of Youlan for me. Thank you very much."

"OK."

"That girl named Jiang Miao has a good talent in swordsmanship. If you have time, you can take her in as your apprentice. But it all depends on your mood. It doesn't matter at all."

"OK."

"Goodbye."

"Goodbye."

Jiang Li walked out of the courtyard again, but Youlan was also standing in front of the courtyard door at this moment. The two looked at each other, then their eyes looked away. Then Jiang Li boarded Mu Xuezhi's spirit boat.

It's time to go back to Zhongzhou.

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

On top of the spirit boat.

Jiang Li was thinking about the sword moves, and Mu Xuezhi was staring at the sea of ​​clouds in a daze. When she turned her head, she found that the sword in Jiang Li's hand looked very familiar.

"This is……?"

"I stole Wen Liqing's sword power."

For some reason, Mu Xuezhi realized that she was not very surprised at this moment.

Perhaps Jiang Li had surprised her more than just his talent in swordsmanship. Why did she always feel that this guy was flirting with women whenever he went out? She stared at Jiang Li's eyes seriously, "Let me ask you seriously, are you related to the Queen of the Northern Territory?"

Jiang Li hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

"Really?"

"It's true."

"So are you related to her two daughters? Or are you related to her?"

Jiang Li hesitated again and nodded.

"What does nodding mean?"

Jiang Li stammered and was unable to speak.

"say something."

"A little bit of both." Jiang Li's eyes were vague.

“How much is a little?”

"This..." Jiang Li's mind inexplicably flashed with the scene of the bamboo peach branch and bamboo autumn begonia stacking game. Wait, Jiang Xiaoli, why is your mind full of such astringent things! You were a serious person before!

What made you like this? Is it Zhu Qiutang?

Chapter 273: Chapter Borrowing and Repaying

Jiang Li rolled his eyes for a long time, and finally answered firmly, "A little bit is a little bit."

Mu Xuezhi looked at him indifferently without saying a word. Jiang Li's thick skin unfolded little by little, and he stared at Mu Xuezhi for a long time, until Mu Xuezhi finally turned her face away and stopped asking.

The spirit boat arrived at Xuantian Dao Ji Zong in two days. Jiang Li simply sat on the deck and began to seriously treat his injuries and nourish his soul. By the way, he tried to integrate everything he had learned so far.

Currently, his cultivation level is fixed at the fifth level of Refining Void. The experience scroll can allow his cultivation level to temporarily advance to the first level of Mahayana without being attacked by the Dark Moon Immortal Venerable. If he can please the Dark Moon Immortal Venerable by then, perhaps his cultivation level will be more than just the first level of Mahayana.

And his spirit and soul are in their prime at this moment.

Wen Liqing's sword power is very powerful, but it has been forcibly implanted into his soul like a system bug. He has completely mastered Wen Liqing's sword power, which can be said to be the biggest gain of the Sword Sect on this trip.

Jiang Li closed his eyes and entered the spiritual world once again.

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

This spiritual world was constructed according to his memory. It was his bamboo building and the area of ​​100 meters. There was the sun, the moon, and the universe in the bamboo building. When his cultivation surpassed the level of refining emptiness, this spiritual world would gradually evolve into a small world. Jiang Li didn't find the Dark Moon Immortal Venerable at the first time. When he saw the Dark Moon Immortal Venerable, she was squatting under a tree. When Jiang Li approached, he realized that she was looking at ants.

Jiang Li also squatted down and looked at the ants with her.

There were only a few strips of cloth on the Dark Moon Immortal Venerable's body. Those strips of cloth were the embodiment of Jiang Li's sword power that he used to imprison her. The two of them looked at the ants for a while. Dark Moon Immortal Venerable raised her head and glanced at him. "What are you doing here again?"

"I wanted to come and talk to you."

"What to talk about?"

"I want to know something about your past." Jiang Li hesitated for a moment, but still said so.

"What do you want to know?"

In fact, Jiang Li was already very familiar with the life of Dark Moon Immortal. He knew that Dark Moon Immortal was an orphan and also the most powerful genius of her time. It even took Dark Moon Immortal only one or two hundred years to become the strongest in the five domains. Later, if she had not forced the blood sacrifice of tens of millions of people, she would not have been besieged by several domain lords and died.

But Jiang Li couldn't understand how those domain lords, who were only at the seventh or eighth level of the Supreme Saint, could have wiped out the Dark Moon Immortal.

So he asked, "How did those domain masters kill you?"

"The barrier of the Saint-level formation I used at the beginning was broken at the most critical moment of the formation, and then the formation backfired, which allowed them to have a few chances. The formation at the beginning... was clearly just a little bit away from success."

"I'm very curious, what exactly is that formation used for? Do you want to ascend?"

"I don't know." Dark Moon Immortal shook his head.

"I don't want to say forget it."

Immortal Dark Moon laughed disdainfully, "When I said I don't know, I really don't know. I didn't study that formation. My master taught me. I only know that the formation is just a little bit away from opening the door to the other world and releasing something, but I don't know what it is."

"Your master?" Jiang Li was stunned.

But there is no record in any ancient book that the Dark Moon Immortal had a master.

Or in other words, who in this world is worthy of being her master?

"Yes." Dark Moon Immortal nodded.

Jiang Li was silent for a while, "That formation... requires the blood sacrifice of 20 million people."

Immortal Venerable Dark Moon looked up at him, "When the great calamity of Canglan Domain occurred and the Thunder Prison descended, I stopped it. If I hadn't stopped it, one billion people in Canglan Domain would have died. Later, there was an outbreak of blood plague, and I wasted half of my cultivation to save most of Canglan Domain. Other cultivators took advantage of my neglect of cultivation to kill me, but I killed them all. During the years I was here, I saved more than billions of lives, so what if I plundered 20 million people?"

Her smile was contemptuous and cold. Jiang Li was silent for a while, not knowing what to say. After a moment, Dark Moon Immortal Venerable said lightly, "You don't understand the relationship between me and my master. If it weren't for her, I would just be an ordinary orphan in Canglan Domain, with nothing and no chance to see the whole world. My swordsmanship, formations, and talismans were all taught to me by my master. She taught me everything and gave me everything, but she just wanted me to do such a small thing for her. If it were you, would you do it?"

Jiang Li tried very hard to put himself in the situation, reasoned for a long time, and finally nodded, "Yes."

"But why have I never heard of your master's name?"

"Master is not from this world, so I am the only one who can see the projection of her spiritual consciousness. She always teaches me everything in my dreams. Of course, you don't know her, and Master doesn't care if you know her name."

"What's your master's name?" Jiang Li asked curiously.

"You don't deserve to know." Dark Moon Immortal snorted coldly.

"Okay, okay." Jiang Li nodded and stood up. He snapped his fingers, and suddenly a luxurious black palace skirt appeared on the body of Dark Moon Immortal, completely wrapping her porcelain white body. She was stunned for a moment, but the next second she suddenly realized that Jiang Li had removed most of the sword seal on her body, leaving only the most basic piece of cloth.

Unleashing the sword energy that seals her will make her soul feel much better, because her soul has been constantly cut and reshaped by Jiang Li's sword energy for years.

"you……"

"It's not that I don't trust you." Jiang Li's face was obviously a little tangled, but in the end his tone became firm, "Thank you for helping me last time."

"Aren't you afraid that I will take your body away while you are weak?"

"Then we will have to fight for it. If you lose, I will never trust you again. I will trust you once. This is my sincerity. When I reach the Holy Saint, I will find a way to reshape your body. It is rumored that the Dragon Clan has a Yuanchu Dao Fruit that can carry the rootless soul. I will get it for you then."

Dark Moon Immortal Venerable looked at him seriously, then turned his face away, "Got it."

"I'll come and play with you when I'm free." Jiang Li also smiled at her.

"Who wants you to come?" said the Dark Moon Immortal Lord unhappily.

She was not being tsundere, there was a lot of disdain in her eyes, but Jiang Li didn't care, "Okay, okay, I'll come find you when I'm bored."

"roll roll roll."

Jiang Li got out obediently.
