Why do you always want to be my Taoist partner?

"got engaged."

Jiang Li's eyes widened, "Yaoyao has become my Taoist partner!"

Su Jiuli laughed in anger, "Did I allow it?"

"Why do I need your permission?"

"Just because I'm her mother!" Su Jiuli began to overwhelm others with her aura. When the pressure from the Second Level Supreme Saint came down, he really had no way to deal with it. At this moment, he had almost used up all the experience scrolls on him. His mere fifth level of fusion was not enough to fill the gap between Su Jiuli, who was the Second Level Supreme Saint.

"Yaoyao likes me, so of course it's better for her to marry me. I'm twenty years old, and I'm at the fifth level of fusion." Jiang Li looked at Su Jiuli in front of him innocently, "Why break up the marriage? Yaoyao is mine."

Su Jiuli didn't seem to have much patience. She turned around and gave Mu Xuezhi a cold look. Mu Xuezhi shrank back and said, "It's none of my business."

Jiang Li widened his eyes and looked at the sly smile on Mu Xuezhi's lips. That expression seemed to be saying, beg me, beg me.

Su Jiuli's eyes fell on Jiang Li again and she said, "I'll count to three, get out of here."

Jiang Li curled his lips, "Even if you count to a hundred, I won't let you take Yaoyao away."

That means there's no point in talking about it.

The fox cultivators also use weapons, and the most famous sword technique of the demon clan is naturally Su Jiuli's Moon-Slaying Sword Technique. Su Jiuli touched Jiang Li's back and took off a fox tail in front of him. The fox tail turned into a spirit sword in an instant. She held the spirit sword tightly in her hand, and the next moment she slashed at Jiang Li without hesitation.

Jiang Li didn't care. He was ready to take a beating first. A beating first would make her owe him a favor, and there would be room for further arguments later. So he took out the Xuehua Sword in an instant, and the two of them faced each other with swords. Jiang Li suddenly realized that she only used the tenth level of fusion.

The battlefield naturally arrived at the courtyard of the bamboo building in an instant. After Su Jiuli exchanged three moves with Jiang Li, she suddenly realized that something was wrong, because Jiang Li was using her swordsmanship, the Moon-Slaying Swordsmanship that she had studied for hundreds of years. Not only was it more handy in Jiang Li's hands at this moment, there were even some changes in the sword moves that she could not see clearly, making this set of swordsmanship more rounded and smooth when used.

Jiang Li swung out a sword and spoke slowly, "It's a good sword technique, but it's too murderous. If you use it too much, it will backfire on you. It's not advisable."

Su Jiuli had practiced for nearly a thousand years, so how could she bear to be taught a lesson like this? The sword in her hand became more and more murderous, and she even tried to kill Jiang Li with every move. However, Jiang Li still looked unhurried. While he drew his sword and confronted Su Jiuli, he said, "Why do you want to bring Yaoyao back to get engaged for no reason?"

"The affairs of the demon race have nothing to do with your Zhongzhou."

"Yaoyao is already my Taoist partner, so of course it is related." Jiang Li spoke slowly, his tone was firm and he did not give Su Jiuli any chance to refute.

"I am her mother."

"But I am already her Taoist partner." Jiang Li's sword pierced Su Jiuli's pupils. Su Jiuli was stunned for a moment and was almost pierced in the eyes by his sword. Jiang Li turned the sword and stabbed at her collar, "Why don't we sit down and talk calmly?"

Su Jiuli suddenly realized that with her cultivation level of the tenth level of the combined body, she not only couldn't gain any advantage over Jiang Li, but was instead fooled around by his sword. The next moment, Su Jiuli's cultivation aura instantly rose to the fifth level of the Mahayana. Now... she was finally able to fight back and forth with Jiang Li and they were evenly matched.

"The fact that Yaoyao and I are Taoist companions is a foregone conclusion and cannot be changed, so...forget about getting engaged. If the fox tribe suffers any loss, I am willing to compensate."

"What do you, a foreigner, know?"

"What's important is not what I know, but what you want." Jiang Li answered innocently, "I can give you whatever you want."

Su Jiuli sneered, "Just you?"

"Your cultivation is still one-third away from the third level of the Supreme Saint. How about I give you a Holy Spirit Pearl that can be used to break through to the third level of the Supreme Saint?" Jiang Li said softly.

Su Jiuli's sword power weakened a little.

"I will teach you a brand new Moon-Slaying Sword Technique, which will at least increase your strength by 20%. How about that?"

Su Jiuli's eyebrows twitched.

"I'll give you another 10 million spirit stones as a betrothal gift."

Jiang Li spoke these words slowly and methodically, but every word hit Su Jiuli's soft spot. However, she was more suspicious than surprised at the moment. She doubted how this young swordsman in front of her, who was at the fifth level of the fusion, could speak so wildly.

"If the demon tribe has any internal troubles, I will call my Aunt Zhu to help you?"

"Who?"

"Bamboo Phoenix."

Jiang Li saw that Su Jiuli's sword power was becoming weaker and weaker, and the murderous aura was almost gone. He breathed a sigh of relief, put away the Xuehua Sword in his hand, and looked straight at Su Jiuli in front of him. Su Jiuli stared into his eyes for one second, two seconds, three seconds.

Her previous arrogant demeanor gradually disappeared.

The white jade sword in her hand returned to her back and turned into her fox tail again. She looked at Jiang Li in front of her coldly but did not speak.

In fact, she didn't want to talk about the purpose of her trip to Zhongzhou. The civil strife in the demon clan was a foregone conclusion. As the saying goes, family disgrace should not be made public. If she wasn't forced to, she didn't want to take Yaoyao and Xixi back to get engaged to the two eldest sons of the demon clan. Yaoyao and Xixi were both incarnations of her fox tail and she treated them as her own daughters. They were also the hope for the future of the fox clan.

If they get engaged, it means that the fox clan’s hope will be cut off again.

Before Su Jiuli could speak, Su Yaoyao had already hurried to Jiang Li's side. She was wearing a thin white dress covered in moonlight. She came close to Jiang Li, gently touching his clothes with her hands, her eyes red, "How are you?"

"It's okay, it's okay." Jiang Li hurriedly hugged Su Yaoyao into his arms and coaxed her gently.

Su Jiuli looked at Su Yaoyao's profile, at her slightly red eyes, with her eyelashes slightly drooping, but the next moment, she suddenly realized that Su Yaoyao's snow-white fox tail was faintly glowing with silver light.

Su Jiuli began to sense Su Yaoyao's bloodline carefully. She was suddenly shocked to find that Su Yaoyao, who originally only had almost fragmented bloodline of hers, now had some of the breath of the legendary Silver Moon Snow Fox in her fox bloodline.

Chapter 306: Chapter I Can Learn

Silver Moon Snow Fox.

It is one of the most noble bloodlines of all the fox clan's bloodlines, but after so many years of the continuation of the fox clan, the power of the bloodline has become thinner from generation to generation. Not to mention the Silver Moon Snow Fox, even the Silver Moon Fox's bloodline has rarely appeared. However, the Silver Moon Snow Fox is the only bloodline that has the hope of being promoted to the Ten-Tailed Demon Fox. The fox clan even has established clan rules that once the owner of the Silver Moon Snow Fox bloodline appears, the fox clan must support him as the future clan leader.

The blood inheritance of the demon clan is mostly thinner from generation to generation, but occasionally the blood will return to its ancestral home, and a few monstrous geniuses will appear. Such a situation is a sign that the fortune of the demon clan is coming, just like the other domains will occasionally have such a genius who despises the fortune of heaven and earth, but the demon clan has never had any good seedlings over the years.

Therefore, Su Jiuli's eyelashes trembled, and she even thought that her perception was wrong. You know, Su Yaoyao is the incarnation of her bloodline, and even she herself does not have the bloodline of the Silver Moon Snow Fox, so where could Su Yaoyao come from?

But the aura of Su Yaoyao was so familiar. She had felt it many times in the ancestral land of the fox clan. Su Jiuli came to Su Yaoyao's side, stretched out her hand without saying anything, and gently grabbed Su Yaoyao's tail, "Yaoyao, your bloodline...?"

As Su Jiuli's spiritual energy entered Su Yaoyao's body, Su Jiuli sensed it more clearly. There was indeed a special, extremely thin Silver Moon Snow Fox aura in Su Yaoyao's blood, but it was too thin and actually did not have much effect on her blood.

From ecstasy to loss, it only takes a moment.

That thin bloodline was meaningless, it was not pure Silver Moon Snow Fox. Su Yaoyao looked up at Su Jiuli, she was also stunned for a moment and exclaimed.

How strange.

She vaguely remembered that Jiang Li seemed to have fox ears and a tail when he was exercising with her, but her memory was not so clear. Her head was hazy when she was exercising, and it was so embarrassing to think about it. Su Yaoyao decided not to think about it anymore. She asked Su Jiuli, "What's wrong, mother?"

"You seem to have awakened some of the rare Silver Moon Snow Fox bloodline." Su Jiuli withdrew her perception of Su Yaoyao's bloodline and turned to look at Jiang Li.

"Come with me."

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

There are many things in this world that can be compromised. If you can't compromise, it must be that you haven't given enough.

At this moment, Jiang Li could calmly chat with Su Jiuli at the stone table beside the bamboo building.

The moonlit night was quiet, and the wind rustled through the bamboo leaves. The early spring night was cool and warm. Jiang Li used his spiritual energy to light a lamp hanging on the bamboo leaves. The light fell on Su Jiuli in front of him, illuminating her bright and beautiful figure.

It is undeniable that Su Jiuli, who was wearing a black palace dress, was indeed quite beautiful. The dark golden silk embroidery meandered on the hem of her skirt, which was gorgeous and exquisite. Her snow-white lotus feet were naked, and the hem of her skirt was blown by the wind. The part of her ankle under the skirt was as slender as a bamboo.

The evening breeze brought a strand of Su Jiuli's hair to her lips. Jiang Li saw her finally speak, "What you said before, is it true?"

"It is true."

But after sensing Su Jiuli's passivity and taking advantage of her weakness, Jiang Li naturally began to take advantage of her.

He was not very good at negotiation and felt that such negotiation was meaningless, so he spoke first, "Your Majesty needs to tell me first why you want to bring Yaoyao back and why you are in such a hurry to get engaged. Knowing these things, perhaps I can help your Majesty relieve some of his worries."

Su Jiuli stared into his eyes, and after a moment she told Jiang Li the reason for her visit. Her tone was no longer as cold as before. After all, no matter how cold a woman is, she always has her weaknesses.

Jiang Li also quickly understood the cause of the incident. The demon clan is now divided into five major clans, namely the fox clan and Taowu, Taotie, Qiongqi, and Hun Dun. Each of the clan leaders of the four evil creatures has cultivated to the first level of the Supreme Saint, and was firmly suppressed by Su Jiuli, who was at the second level of the Supreme Saint. Therefore, the fox clan ruled the demon clan, but a few days ago, the clan leaders of Taowu and Qiongqi both broke through and entered the second level of the Supreme Saint. Naturally, they were no longer willing to be inferior to others, and proposing to the fox clan was a sign. After all, Su Jiuli only had two heirs, and since they were both married, it would be natural for her to abdicate at that time.

If she had a choice, Su Jiuli naturally would not want to marry Su Yaoyao and Su Xixi, but at the moment she was in a situation where she had no choice. Su Yaoyao and Su Xixi were just a bargaining chip to ease the situation. If she could not break through to the third level of Saint as soon as possible, or had some other means to intimidate the four evil tribes, she would sooner or later have to hand over the position of Fox Emperor to others.

"Then it's easy to handle. Your Majesty, I don't want Yaoyao to get married, and neither do you. Our goals are the same. What I said before, giving you a Holy Spirit Pearl is true, and I will give it to you later. I will also teach you the improved swordsmanship, which is simple and easy to understand. I believe that with your Majesty's comprehension, you will be able to learn it in a few days. As for Aunt Zhu, I think that unless you are really at a loss about what to do in the Western Region, you don't want the forces of other spiritual regions to interfere."

"I will give you 10 million spirit stones tomorrow. This is my gift to Yaoyao. Is Your Majesty satisfied?"

Su Jiuli had no reason to refuse.

How could she not be satisfied? In fact, just by breaking through to the third level of the Supreme Saint, she already had the confidence to shock the Four Evils again, not to mention learning Jiang Li's improved Moon-Slaying Sword Technique.

Ten million spirit stones is definitely not a small number. At the moment, the entire fox clan’s account has only twenty or thirty million spirit stones. But these words coming out of the mouth of a young man in front of him seemed particularly incredible.

And there is one particularly important point here, which is... Is Yaoyao worth it?

"Why?" Su Jiuli asked.

"Why?" Jiang Li tilted his head.

"Yaoyao... is it worth you doing so much for her?"

"Why isn't it worth it?" Jiang Li's question left Su Jiuli speechless.

With 10 million spirit stones, it is definitely not a difficult task to find a beautiful Taoist partner in the entire world of immortal cultivation, not to mention the nearly priceless Holy Spirit Pearl, but Jiang Li said it so casually.

"I only have one condition." Jiang Li said seriously.

Su Jiuli nodded slightly, indicating that he should continue.

"I will do all the three things I just said, but from now on I will no longer help you do anything. You must also swear that you will never force me to do anything again."

Su Jiuli frowned slightly, feeling that something was a little strange, but couldn't tell why. She replied coldly, "Just do it first."

"Dabai!" Jiang Li shouted towards the yard. Dabai came over with his round buttocks twisted. He walked up to him with a look of disgust on his face, "Do you really want to give her the Holy Spirit Pearl?"

Jiang Li rubbed Dabai's little face and said, "Don't worry, I know what I am doing."

"It's up to you. Now you owe me a thousand different dried fishes." Dabai opened his lips, and soon an illusory spirit bead came out of his mouth. This spirit bead was originally useless to him. He just felt a headache seeing Jiang Li being so unruly all day long, and wanted this guy to practice hard as soon as possible. But since this guy wanted to give up, let him give up. He would regret it later anyway.

Jiang Li handed the Holy Spirit Pearl to Su Jiuli.

"Eat it first and refine it slowly. Your cultivation should improve within seven days."

Jiang Li had heard Dabai talk about the use of the Holy Spirit Pearl last time, so he said this to Su Jiuli. Su Jiuli took the spiritual pearl, looked at it for a while, and then refined it into her body without hesitation.

Jiang Li took out another storage ring, which contained 10 million spirit stone notes. These could be exchanged for spirit stones in the Haotian Business Alliance, which was used in all four regions. They were genuine spirit stone notes. No one in the world could forge the spirit stone notes of the Haotian Business Alliance, and no one dared to forge them. Su Jiuli hesitated and accepted the spirit stone notes. Jiang Li finally smiled.

"Okay, starting from tomorrow, you will use your fifth level of fusion cultivation to fight with me for three hours every day. Within three days, you will be able to completely learn that set of sword techniques."

Su Jiuli nodded slightly, and Jiang Li also let out a long sigh, glanced at Su Jiuli indifferently, and then withdrew his gaze. But for some reason, Su Jiuli always felt that there was always a hint of contempt in the look that Jiang Li gave her before.

"You seem to be dissatisfied with me."

"How dare I?" Jiang Li answered jokingly, but Su Jiuli looked at him coldly, "If you have, you can tell me."

Jiang Li shrugged, stood up and stretched, but he didn't look at Su Jiuli, just said casually, "I'm not dissatisfied. Your Majesty has worked hard for the Fox Clan. How can I, an outsider, have any complaints? It's just... If I have a daughter, as long as she is unwilling, I will never let her marry someone she doesn't like."

Su Jiuli was naturally speechless about this.

Maybe she had a lot to say, but seeing Jiang Li's completely indifferent look, she finally chose not to speak. She had been the Fox Emperor for many years, and the years had long smoothed out her initial edges. Her subconscious choice was just the optimal solution. The emotions in her heart had long been numb. She chose to split the fox tail to make Su Yaoyao and Su Xixi her daughters because she hoped that the fox clan would have an heir in the future. She did not ask for her heir to rule the demon clan in the future, but only to protect the fox clan. She had protected the fox clan for hundreds of years and was already tired of it.

Jiang Li no longer looked at Su Jiuli. The fondness he had for Su Jiuli's beautiful face had completely disappeared because of her disdainful look towards family affection. He had never felt family affection, but he always had beautiful fantasies about it. He thought that family affection should not be like this, and his daughter should not be a bargaining chip for power exchange. But at this moment, it had nothing to do with him. Jiang Li looked at the fox tail secretly hidden behind the bamboo building, "The fox tail is exposed, Yaoyao."

He walked towards Su Yaoyao, who came out from behind the bamboo with red cheeks. Her eyes were red at the moment. She looked up at Jiang Li and whispered, "Jiang Li..."

"Are you very touched? Do you want to reward me?" Jiang Li lowered his head and leaned close to her lips. Su Yaoyao was a little flustered and couldn't speak. She nodded heavily. Jiang Li suddenly picked her up by the waist and whispered in her ear, "Then...you are on top this time?"

Su Yaoyao's face suddenly turned red. She hugged Jiang Li's neck and said timidly, "I, I can't..."

Jiang Li blinked at her. After a few seconds, Su Yaoyao's voice became even quieter, like the buzzing of a mosquito. She whispered softly, "I, I can learn..."

After saying that, she buried her cheek in Jiang Li's chest and refused to lift it up again no matter what was said.

Chapter 307: Chapter : Kind-hearted Jiang Xiaoli

Of course, there was no place for Su Jiuli to stay in Jiang Li’s bamboo house.

Mu Xuezhi naturally returned to her courtyard first. Jiang Li carried Su Yaoyao back to the room on the second floor. The door was closed. When Su Jiuli stood downstairs, she could vaguely hear Su Yaoyao's breathing, like moving music, gentle and charming. She didn't know when the rain began to fall from the sky, dripping on her cheeks. She stood beside the flowers in the bamboo building, but for a moment she didn't know where to go.

In the end, she did not go looking for Mu Xuezhi again, but just sat down beside the flowers. Even though she didn't want to, she could still hear Su Yaoyao's voice occasionally, very softly. She simply closed her eyes, blocked her hearing, and entered into a state of meditation under the bamboo building.

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

"Your ears... and... your tail..." Su Yaoyao looked at Jiang Li in front of her, her eyes widening. Jiang Li scratched his head, "This bloodline was inherited in a secret realm. I didn't care about it at first, but I don't know why it was automatically activated when I practiced dual cultivation with you."

Su Yaoyao could clearly feel that her blood seemed to have undergone some changes at this moment, but the change was extremely subtle. It turned out that this was the reason why her blood contained the power of the Silver Moon Snow Fox. She quietly estimated that if she wanted her blood to undergo some qualitative changes, according to the progress of dual cultivation, she would have to practice dual cultivation for another seven or eight hundred times.

Jiang Li seemed to have seen through her thoughts. The two were hugging each other, and one of Su Yaoyao's long and beautiful legs was lifted up. Su Yaoyao looked at him in a panic and whispered, "Your bloodline seems to be... Silver Moon Snow Fox."

"Never mind, it's not important."

"No, this bloodline is very, very important." Su Yaoyao had just said half of her words when she was contradicted and couldn't speak anymore. At first, she tried to explain it clearly in a halting manner, but gradually, she had no thoughts in her head.
