Why do you always want to be my Taoist partner?

Jiang Li was very aware of this. In his previous life, he swore in the middle of the night that he would settle down, never hang out outside again, and be devoted to her. Unfortunately, he couldn't stand the loneliness in the end. He was forgiven after the first time he cheated, but he couldn't help it and had it the second time, the third time... So in the end he was stabbed to death. He didn't have any complaints at all. Everything was his own fault and he couldn't blame anyone else.

Jiang Li only ate a small bowl of rice, while Bai Sheng had already eaten all the rice. Jiang Li stood up and went to collect the sauce from the braised chicken wings that were stewing in the pot. He sat down and served eight of them to Bai Sheng, "You eat six, and I'll eat two."

Bai Sheng hurriedly shook his head, "No, no, I'll just eat two. Senior Brother Jiang Li didn't eat much of the previous dishes."

"I'm tired of it. Senior Brother Jiang Li always likes new things and hates old things." Jiang Li put two chicken wings into his bowl, and then pushed the rest to Bai Sheng, "Would you like to try it first?"

Bai Sheng hesitated for a moment, then brought the chicken wings in front of him.

Jiang Li stewed the chicken wings until they were soft and rotten. The meat would slide off the bones with just a slight bite, but it did not melt in the mouth and had a slightly soft texture.

Bai Sheng ate the third one, and after finishing it, he looked up at Jiang Li, trying hard to suppress his greedy desire and pushed the plate in front of Jiang Li, "Brother Jiang Li, I'm full...you should eat it."

"Ah, I'm full too, so just throw it away."

Jiang Li picked up the plate, as if he was going to take it outside to throw it away. Bai Sheng hurriedly grabbed Jiang Li's arm, "Hey, don't..."

Jiang Li looked down at her.

Bai Sheng's face turned slightly red, and she muttered quietly, "I think I can still eat a little bit. If I throw it away... it will be such a waste."

"Don't be afraid of getting as fat as a pig." Jiang Li brought the plate back to her and said playfully.

"Not at all." Bai Sheng snorted softly. Jiang Li still looked at her with a playful gaze. After a second or two, he said, "It is true that they have grown to the right place."

Bai Sheng took a second or two to react. He raised his white legs from under the table and gently kicked Jiang Li. "Brother Jiang Li...you are obscene."

"This is a compliment." Jiang Li held his cheek with his hand, looking serious.

Many times, the more corny and greasy the words sound, the more unexpected effects they can have when the atmosphere is right.

The most important thing in pursuing a girl is to bring her emotional stimulation, no matter whether the emotion is good or bad, it does not matter. Even if you bring her only bad emotions, her reason tells her that she should stay away from you, but as long as you mix a few good emotions with the bad emotions, it will become addictive over and over again.

Jiang Li's eyes were a little dazed, with a self-deprecating smile on the corner of his mouth. He looked at the rain outside the window. The rain was about to stop.

Bai Sheng finished eating the chicken wings.

Jiang Li pointed at the corner of his mouth. Bai Sheng hesitated for a moment, then tilted his head and uttered a confused "ah".

"There's oil stains at the corners of your mouth." Jiang Li reminded helplessly.

Bai Sheng let out an "oh" and understood. She took the handkerchief Jiang Li had given her and wiped the corners of her mouth. Then she clutched the handkerchief and whispered, "I'll go back and wash the handkerchief and return it to Senior Brother Jiang Li."

"it is good."

Jiang Li stood up and picked up the oil-paper umbrella on the table.

"It's raining now. I'll give you a ride."

Chapter 27: Chapter You are a complete bastard!

The air after the rain is moist and fresh.

Jiang Li held an umbrella for Bai Sheng and accompanied Bai Sheng all the way to the foot of Yinjian Peak. The two of them walked up the bluestone steps. Bai Sheng was holding a box of peach cakes in her arms, which Jiang Li asked her to take.

Neither of them spoke along the way. To be precise, because Jiang Li didn't say anything, Bai Sheng didn't know what to say. She bit her lips gently until Jiang Li sent her to the foot of the mountain and handed her the umbrella.

"What about Senior Brother Jiang Li?"

"I just worked up a sweat while practicing swordplay, so it's time to take a shower when we get back." After Jiang Li handed the umbrella to Bai Sheng, he turned around without saying much. Bai Sheng tightly gripped the umbrella handle and looked at his departing back. For some reason, she always felt... there was always some distance between her and Jiang Li.

So who has really entered his world?

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

Jiang Li returned to the bamboo house, took a shower, and then changed into clean clothes. Dabai was lying lazily on the chair, licking his paws. This guy just slept and ate every day. Jiang Li was very curious, would the cat feel lonely?

He sat on the chair and continued to study the talisman paper and the formation plate carefully.

He had not practiced swordplay for a long time, not because he had lost his sword spirit, but because practicing swordplay had become boring, so he chose to draw talisman paper and formation plates. In fact, he had not bought the materials needed to actually use these two skills until now.

Perhaps buying those materials and drawing the talisman papers and formation plates by himself every day would be enough for him to earn a lot of spirit stones, but he was not short of spirit stones, and the amount of spirit stones was meaningless to him.

He sits here all day tinkering with these currently meaningless things, just to kill time.

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

In the evening, Jiang Li's quiet time was broken.

A woman wearing a moon-white cheongsam was standing outside the door.

Before she knocked on the door, Dabai had already jumped up from the chair happily, came to the door, jumped high and opened the door for Yueji. Then Yueji walked into Jiang Li's room, bent down and gently touched Dabai's head.

Then she took out the poached chicken prepared for Dabai. Dabai happily held the chicken that was similar to his own and started to eat it.

Yue Ji turned her head to look at Jiang Li, but saw that Jiang Li did not look up, but was carefully drawing a talisman paper. She wanted to get closer to see it, but was afraid of disturbing him, so she remained silent for a long time until Jiang Li finished the last stroke.

The talisman paper constructed purely with spiritual energy took shape, but in that instant, Yue Ji's pupils shrank slightly, and she couldn't utter a word for a moment.

"What you've been drawing in the house all day...is this the talisman?"

Jiang Li turned his head, "What's wrong?"

What he drew was called Thunder Explosion Talisman, which sounded like a very common and weak name, but this talisman paper was of earth quality. The material needed to draw this talisman paper was one thousand spirit stones, and if it could be drawn successfully, it could be sold for three thousand spirit stones.

But Jiang Li...did not use any materials. He simply used spiritual energy to simulate the effects of various materials. The craftsmanship and delicacy were just like how he made a whole table of Manchu-Han banquet with just one vegetable.

It is particularly unbelievable.

"So this is what you have been doing these past few years." Yue Ji said softly.

But Jiang Li just shook his head, "I am not hiding my incompetence."

"uh-huh?"

Jiang Li's chair can rotate. He made it himself. He turned around with the chair and faced Yue Ji. "Why do you feel that way?"

"Isn't your ranking in Hidden Sword Peak over the years considered to be a sign of your inferiority?"

Jiang Li thought about it and said, "It's okay if you think so."

"You do this again." Yue Ji raised her calf and kicked Jiang Li in dissatisfaction.

She had known Jiang Li for many years and had known what kind of bastard Jiang Li was long ago. But even after knowing him for so many years, she always felt alienated from Jiang Li. It was not that she was alienated from Jiang Li, but that Jiang Li was alienated from her. However, he was not the only one alienating from her.

He seems to be unconsciously building a barrier with everyone. No one can cross this line of defense to see what he is thinking. Most of the time, he is too lazy to explain. If you want to get along well with him, you can only guess. But if you ask, he is willing to tell you.

Since Yue Ji asked, Jiang Li naturally had to tell her.

"Sword cultivators all emphasize having a clear sword heart, and they all want to be the best in swordsmanship. Even if they know that there are always people better than them, they still have a goal to work towards. But if I get serious about it, they will know that they will never be able to reach the pinnacle of swordsmanship in this lifetime. From then on, their sword hearts will be unstable, and the swordsmanship they cultivate in their hearts will easily collapse naturally."

"So you were just being perfunctory during the Hidden Sword Peak Competition?"

Jiang Li nodded, "That's right."

"Then why are you pretending so well? Do you know how much your sister has been worried about you in the past two years?"

"You never asked seriously, so how can you say I'm pretending?" Jiang Li blinked innocently.

Yue Ji really couldn't refute Jiang Li, but she knew what to do in this situation. The next second, she pounced on him, stretched out her hands, pinched Jiang Li's face, and began to rub it hard.

Jiang Li could only look at her helplessly. Yue Ji's cheongsam today was very close-fitting. The curve of her chest was taut, round and upright, like an inverted jade bowl. When she came closer, a fragrant breeze brushed his face. It was not the smell of powder, but the faint fragrance that naturally emanated from her body.

"Then what's the matter with your cultivation?"

"It is enough to build the foundation in Xuantian Daoji Sect in the early stage." Jiang Li answered simply.

This is the case.

"What do you mean by enough?"

Since she wants to hear it, why not tell her something she likes to hear? Jiang Li looked at the angry eyes of the girl in front of him and replied, "It's just that I can beat all my peers in the sect without any rivals."

"Including Mu Bingning?"

"include."

"Do you know that her cultivation has already reached the late Nascent Soul stage?"

"That's something I need to think about carefully."

Since no one believes it after I tell them, there is no need to say anything. Explanation is a very tiring thing. In comparison, lies are much more convenient.

"Why don't you go and have a fight with her?"

"Why would you go to her to discuss swordplay when you have nothing better to do?"

"To avenge the humiliation of the past!"

Yueji has always been upset about this matter.

"Will I avenge the humiliation if I win against her?" Jiang Li was helpless. "She humiliated me before, but I didn't feel any emotion. I told you at least three times, but you thought I was just trying to save face. But I really didn't care. But if I challenge her to a duel next time and lose, it would be meaningless. What if I win against her by chance? What's the meaning?"

"Will it make the young disciples of Xuantian Daoji Sect in an uproar and make them worship and admire me? Or will it make Mu Bingning regret her decision?"

Yue Ji sneered, “If all the disciples of Xuantian Dao Ji Zong knew that you defeated Mu Bingning, wouldn’t it be more convenient for you to pick up girls?”

"That's too simple. What's the point?" Jiang Li spread his hands innocently.

Yue Ji finally understood.

"So you deliberately hid your cultivation level just to make it more difficult for yourself?"

"To be precise, I didn't hide my cultivation on purpose. It's just that I never quarrel with others. If it was for the sake of competing for the little reward for the sect ranking, then I might as well go down the mountain and look for my own fortune. I didn't need to hide these things from you, but you never asked me. But you had already guessed it a long time ago, didn't you?"

"So you just treat me as a fool." Yue Ji's tone was quite dissatisfied.

Many true words are always said in a joking way. For Yue Ji, she always feels that the distance between her and Jiang Li lies here. You say this guy is a normal person, right? He is. He understands all the ways of the world. But you say he is not a normal person, which is reasonable, because he always feels out of tune with the secular world.

"No." Jiang Li's face showed a bit of confusion, but he quickly recovered and his eyes were still as gentle as usual.

Yue Ji released the hand that was pinching his face, but quickly and unreasonably sat on Jiang Li's body. She also crossed her legs, as if she was using Jiang Li as a cushion. Jiang Li didn't care. He stretched out his hand and gently hugged Yue Ji's waist. Her waist was very slender, but especially smooth.

"Then did I ruin your plan by pushing Qian Tingsheng in front of you this time?"

"Removing flies for Sister Yueji is what I should do. I don't have any plans. I just go with the flow."

"I always have a feeling that one day you will just drift away and suddenly disappear."

Yue Ji could feel that Jiang Li, who was hugging her at the moment, suddenly paused for a second while caressing her slender waist with his knuckles, and her heart sank a little.

"Did I guess right?" she said self-deprecatingly.

Jiang Li didn't say anything.

"Since you said you wouldn't hide it from me, now that I'm asking, you should answer me...Are you leaving?"

"Why would I leave now? I haven't dealt with Jin's other issues yet."

"So after you find the cure for Jinbie's cold pulse, you will leave?"

"I can't say for sure. I don't know either."

"We have been in Xuantian Daoji Sect for so long. If you really want to leave, where can you go?" Yue Ji was silent for a moment. "Forget it. I can't keep you anyway. There is no one in Xuantian Daoji Sect who is worthy of your stay."

Jiang Li hugged Yue Ji gently, but he didn't know what to say. After a while, he said, "Do you really want to get rid of me?"

"Women's intuition."

Yue Ji stood up from his body and sat down beside the bed. She glanced at Jiang Li and suddenly said, "I heard from Jin that... did you sleep with her yesterday?"

"Yes."

Yue Ji said "oh", then bent down, took off her high-heeled shoes, put them aside, then raised her slender legs, moved to Jiang Li's bed, faced the wall, turned sideways, pulled the quilt over, and closed her eyes.

Jiang Li came to the bed and then lay down on it. Yue Ji did not turn sideways, but his hand was placed on Yue Ji's waist.

"Take your dog paws away."

"Are you really that angry?"

"Shouldn't I be angry? Can't I be angry? Anyway, no matter whether it's me or Jin Bie, we are always dispensable in your heart. Sooner or later, you will leave alone one day, no matter where you go...you will not take me with you."

"This isn't like the Tsukihime I know."

What do you think Yue Ji should be like? She hides all her thoughts, but they have never escaped your eyes. You know it in your heart, you know it all, but you can only pretend to be confused.

Yue Ji finally turned around and faced him, but the next second she came over and bit Jiang Li's shoulder hard.

"You're a complete asshole!"

After saying that, she bit him again. Jiang Li didn't cry out in pain, and let her teeth break his skin. The scarlet blood flowed out. Yue Ji still didn't let go, and Jiang Li's hands were around her waist. He waited until Yue Ji let go of her mouth, then he whispered.
