Why do you always want to be my Taoist partner?

"I just received news a few days ago that you fought against the demon elders in the Western Regions alone and your life was in danger. It turned out that it was all because of this vixen. Did she use some kind of charm on you? She took advantage of your inexperience and used you as a tool to kill someone, and you foolishly did it?"

"No, there's a misunderstanding here... You can't blame her."

"What misunderstanding? Didn't she just use her body to seduce you to help her? The news I received was that you were in a coma for several days and almost died. Can't you cherish yourself a little? Do you know how worried I was when I received the news? Fortunately, you didn't have any hidden injuries, otherwise I would have skinned her alive. Don't blame her? Do you want me to blame you?!"

Zhu Junhuang became more and more excited as she spoke, her full breasts trembling slightly with her breathing, but her tone was clearly aggressive, and a few crystal tears were rolling in the corners of her eyes.

"No...it's a little misunderstanding." Jiang Li probably knew why Zhu Junhuang suddenly became emotional and wanted to provoke Su Jiuli.

"That's not the case..." Jiang Li gently held Zhu Junhuang's hand, "It's like this..."

Jiang Li had no choice but to start with Su Yaoyao. He was not seduced and tricked by Su Jiuli into going to the Western Regions. He went to the Western Regions because Su Yaoyao was his Taoist partner. He took the initiative to help her solve these problems so that he could marry Su Yaoyao. It was not Su Jiuli who used her charm to seduce him and make him a tool. He was the one who proposed the debate with the four major demon tribes. He also proposed the dual cultivation because he was seriously injured at the time, so he took the initiative to propose it to Su Jiuli, and Su Jiuli agreed...

Well, the logic is self-consistent, and a world where no one gets hurt is achieved.

"Then why didn't you come to the Northern Territory to find me?" Zhu Junhuang's anger gradually dissipated, but at this moment her voice became more and more aggrieved, "You came to the Northern Territory to find me, I want to see who dares to touch you!"

"I just want to solve the demon clan's problems myself, so I won't bother you anymore."

"Do you think I'm troublesome?" Zhu Junhuang's voice became more and more aggrieved. Jiang Li hurriedly hugged her in his arms and patted her back gently. "No way, I just thought I could solve it myself..."

"As long as you ask me, will I not help you? If you are still angry, we will kill Zhao Shu and Qin Huang after the Five Regions Competition. If he dares to resist, I will send troops to slaughter his entire clan!"

"It's not necessary. It's really not necessary." Jiang Li replied hurriedly.

He didn't ask Zhu Junhuang for help at first, because he thought he could solve it, because he thought it was the demon clan's own business, and the Northern Territory couldn't interfere, and because he thought it was Yaoyao and his marriage, so why would he bring up Zhu Junhuang? But he never thought that Zhu Junhuang would be so protective of her. She wanted to kill the whole clan at any time... She was like a crazy woman.

"I'm fine, right? I'm fine, the problem has been resolved, and my cultivation has improved. Don't cry, it's my fault. Next time something like this happens, I'll come to you the first time." Jiang Li patted Zhu Junhuang's back gently. He always felt like he was coaxing a child, but in fact, he was a little panicked at the moment. It turned out that there really was someone who would do anything for the love of him.

"You don't listen to me at all..." Zhu Junhuang's grievances were all reflected in the crystal tears in the corners of her eyes. Jiang Li hesitated for a moment, leaned close and gently kissed away the tears that slipped from the corners of her eyes, "Okay, okay, don't cry, don't cry, I won't be so willful next time."

It took Zhu Junhuang a while to stop crying. Jiang Li wiped the tears from her face with a handkerchief and couldn't help but pinch her face gently. "You are already a thousand years old, why are you still like a child?"

"You dislike me." Zhu Junhuang pouted slightly.

"Pretending to be cute again." Jiang Li leaned in and pecked her lips gently, "How could I dislike you?"

Zhu Junhuang was almost coaxed, Jiang Li breathed a sigh of relief. Jiang Li then looked at Zhu Taozhi behind Zhu Junhuang and stretched out his hand towards her, "Hug me."

Zhu Taozhi seemed to come up reluctantly and gave him a hug, but her face showed reluctance before the hug, but after the hug, her hands held Jiang Li tightly.

After holding Zhu Taozhi, it was Zhu Qiutang's turn. Zhu Qiutang walked up to him, her cheeks still as cold as usual, but she obediently snuggled into Jiang Li's arms. However, before Jiang Li could open his mouth, Zhu Qiutang had already lowered her head and bit his shoulder hard.

She looked up and said, "Don't do this again next time."

"Okay, okay, I was wrong." Jiang Li smiled helplessly.

Then Jiang Li walked in front of Su Yaoyao. Su Yaoyao seemed a little uneasy at the moment. Jiang Li also reached out his hand, hugged Su Yaoyao into his arms, and leaned close to her ear, "Did you miss me?"

"Of course." Su Yaoyao answered in a low voice.

"Your cultivation has improved a lot."

After obtaining the inheritance from the fox clan's ancestral land, Su Yaoyao's cultivation has reached the fifth level of fusion.

Su Xixi also had the same level of cultivation. After Jiang Li hugged Su Yaoyao, he glanced at Su Xixi and took a step towards her. Su Xixi's expression suddenly became a little flustered. She watched Jiang Li approaching, but she inexplicably felt a lot of uneasiness in her heart. For a moment, she couldn't tell whether it was sweetness or sadness.

Jiang Li happened to pass by her and said, "Master Mu is coming down? How many floors have you climbed to?"

"The eight hundred and twenty-sixth floor." Mu Xuezhi answered calmly, her eyes fell on the group of people in front of her, then she glanced at Jiang Li indifferently, and then... she passed by Jiang Li.

Jiang Li looked at her with a mixture of laughter and tears. She walked to Su Jiuli's side and asked in surprise, "You have reached the third level of the Supreme Saint?"

Su Jiuli and Mu Xuezhi were old acquaintances. She nodded slightly and said, "Well, I realized something new and I made a breakthrough naturally."

"You have also reached the second level of the Supreme Saint?" This time it was Su Jiuli who was a little surprised. The two women just chatted like this. Jiang Li looked at Su Yaoyao first, then at Zhu Junhuang. For a moment, he didn't know which way to go. Later, he simply pulled Su Yaoyao's hand, came in front of Zhu Junhuang, and said seriously, "Yaoyao is my Taoist partner."

"The little girl is so cute."

Zhu Junhuang put away her previous fierce attitude towards Su Jiuli, smiled gently, reached out and rubbed Su Yaoyao's head, "From now on, you can call me Sister Junhuang, and you can come to me if you have any problems."

Su Yaoyao nodded in confusion. She had felt particularly uneasy when Su Jiuli and Zhu Junhuang had quarreled before. But now seeing Zhu Junhuang's attitude, she felt a lot more relaxed.

Jiang Li finally breathed a sigh of relief. Okay, now the problem is solved, but new problems follow.

The Five Regions Competition will not start until the morning of the day after tomorrow. So tonight... where will he sleep?

hiss.

Where to sleep?

Jiang Li glanced at Su Yaoyao, then at Zhu Junhuang, and then at Zhu Taozhi and Zhu Qiutang.

Haha, you really have to sleep alone. Whoever you choose will be tortured when he wakes up the next morning.

Jiang Li now wished he could break him into three pieces, but unfortunately he couldn't. He stood there and chatted with Zhu Taozhi and Zhu Qiutang for a while, and suddenly he was surprised to find that Zhu Taozhi and Zhu Qiutang's cultivation had become very high, and they had also entered the fifth level of fusion.

Obviously, before this Five Domains Competition, each domain had used a lot of resources. With their speed of cultivation progress, they would have to use the next few years to consolidate their cultivation.

Wen Liqing had been standing there for a long time without saying a word. Now that everyone was here, she suddenly spoke, "Then shall I take you to the yard where you will rest at night?"

Everyone looked at her. Wen Liqing's eyes were calm and gentle, and there was a hint of innocence in them. All the women nodded and followed Wen Liqing's steps to leave the Heavenly Road.

Chapter 348: Chapter Sobering Up

The place where Jiang Li and his group lived was Lingjian Mountain, where the Sword Sect entertained guests.

There is a special small courtyard in Lingjian Mountain with many rooms. Lingyin also lives here. Wen Liqing has allocated rooms for everyone, except Jiang Li.

"Where do I live?" Jiang Li blinked innocently, "Where is my room?"

Wen Liqing looked at him with an even more innocent look, "This is where women live. You live next door."

"Oh." Jiang Li nodded.

Zhu Junhuang walked to Jiang Li, lowered her head slightly and whispered something in his ear, then walked back into the room. At that moment, many pairs of eyes fell on Jiang Li. Jiang Li seemed to be calm, but he was actually very panicked.

Now that everyone has settled down, there is nothing to do. The courtyard is very large. Jiang Li turned his head inadvertently and saw Ji Tongtong walking out of the room.

Ji Tongtong originally had a smile on her face, but the moment she saw him, her eyes became filled with shame and anger.

Jiang Li subconsciously took a step back.

What? You want to fight? Don't come over here, I can't control my wives!

Fortunately, Ji Tongtong just glared at him in shame and anger, and then quickly looked away. Jiang Li glanced around and realized that Lingyin was there too. She was sitting under a tree. A spring rain was falling quietly. She blended with the rain curtain, like a jade statue. Her presence was so low that Jiang Li hadn't even noticed her just now.

Jiang Li hurriedly withdrew his gaze. Su Jiuli and Su Xixi had already returned to the room. Su Yaoyao was still chatting with Zhu Taozhi and Zhu Qiutang. Jiang Li was a little surprised that the three of them could chat together. Jiang Li also vaguely heard Zhu Taozhi whispering curiously, "Can I touch your tail?"

"I'll go check out where I live."

Jiang Li always felt that he should not stay here any longer. Wen Liqing responded and then took him to the cave next door. There should not be many people living in the cave next door. This time the Five Realms Competition seemed to be particularly dominated by women. Apart from Jiang Li and Ye Guixu, there was only one man left. When Jiang Li entered the door, he saw that man.

The man was dressed in a black robe and looked even younger than Jiang Li. However, Jiang Li felt that his cultivation aura was unfathomable. Jiang Li remembered that he was at the tenth level of Mahayana, only one step away from becoming a saint.

Hang the dog!

Ye Guixu was sitting in the yard fiddling with talisman papers. He was a talisman cultivator, and the strength of a top-grade talisman cultivator was difficult to estimate, because a top-grade talisman cultivator could have a hundred talisman papers or just one, and the strength would naturally be very different. Ye Guixu had only drawn two top-grade talisman papers so far, so how could he have so much time to prepare?

After Wen Liqing sent Jiang Li here, he went back first. Jiang Li sat opposite Ye Guixu and did not disturb him. Ye Guixu raised his head first and lowered his voice, "Brother Jiang."

"Ok?"

"That man's aura is so terrifying." Ye Guixu looked at the young man in black robe with some fear.

Ye Guixu's cultivation was not high, so the breath he felt was enough to make him breathless. It was the sword force of the young man in black robe. Jiang Li could sense it, but that sword force was obviously not what a young man should have. There was a particularly strong sense of contrast.

"Yes, a little bit." Jiang Li nodded.

After seeing Jiang Li coming into the courtyard, the young man who was sitting under the tree in the spring rain slowly opened his eyes.

Jiang Li felt a force locking onto him, so he turned around and stared at the black-robed youth. He was the first to speak, "I am Jiang Li from the Xuantian Dao Jizong, and who are you...?"

"The southern region is desolate and quiet." The young man in black robe replied calmly.

Jiang Li was always very gentle to strangers, but unfortunately the other party's expression was particularly indifferent. However, he kept staring at Jiang Li, and Jiang Li did not hide it. He could clearly sense the knife force released from Cang Ji. He narrowed his eyes slightly, and his sword force was also stimulated. The knife and sword forces of the two began to clash secretly.

One stick of incense time passed.

Jiang Li smiled calmly, "Thank you."

Cang Ji suppressed the shock that flashed across his eyes and turned his face away, no longer looking at Jiang Li.

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

Nearing evening, Jiang Li went to the canteen of Jianzong alone. He didn't go there to do anything big, he just wanted to borrow someone's kitchen. Ye Guixu followed him to help. Jiang Li had the jade token given by Wen Liqing on him. In the entire Jianzong, seeing him was like seeing Wen Liqing, so borrowing a kitchen was certainly not a big deal.

After being busy in the kitchen with Ye Guixu for nearly half an hour, Jiang Li also borrowed some ingredients from others, wanting to compensate them with some spirit stones, but when the other party saw Jiang Li's jade token, they refused to accept anything. Jiang Li had no choice but to smile helplessly, and then put all the 16 dishes into the storage space. Then, together with Ye Guixu, he came to the yard where the girls lived. The girls in the yard were chatting lively, and even Su Xixi was chatting enthusiastically with Zhu Taozhi and the others. The elders were all in their rooms, but as soon as Jiang Li appeared, all eyes fell on him.

Jiang Li always felt that this gaze was strange, so he asked tentatively, "I made something to eat? How about...having dinner together?"

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

This dinner table is so lively.

Su Jiuli, Su Yaoyao, Su Xixi, Zhu Junhuang, Zhu Taozhi, Zhu Qiutang, Wen Liqing, Mu Xuezhi, and only two men, Jiang Li and Ye Guixu, were at the table. Ye Guixu knew that he was just a third wheel and just buried his head in eating.

"It's rare for us to get together, how about having a couple of drinks together?" Jiang Li took out the aged wine he had brought from his storage ring.

Since he had spoken, the girls all nodded slightly. Jiang Li suddenly felt an inexplicable sense of accomplishment. Okay, that's it. It was very harmonious. He took turns filling each girl's glass with wine, and they raised their glasses and drank together.

Ye Guixu finished the glass of wine, rubbed his stomach, patted Jiang Li's shoulder, said he wanted to take a walk, looked at Jiang Li resentfully, and then left. There were nine people left at the table.

Jiang Li thought it was a good decision to open the wine at first. Maybe they could laugh it off if they drank a few glasses together. There was no big conflict, but gradually he felt something was wrong. He looked at the girls' cheeks flushed. They all looked gentle and virtuous, but they raised their glasses faster than each other, saying "sisters drink, younger sisters drink" and so on. Jiang Li felt something was wrong, so he leaned his head on Mu Xuezhi's shoulder and started to play dead.

Of course Mu Xuezhi did not participate in this boring drinking party. On the surface, she was Jiang Li's master and Jiang Li's sect leader. If it weren't for the battle against Jiang Xing that day, when Jiang Li unexpectedly hugged her and kissed her, and this matter had spread to everyone, the girls at the table would have to respect her even more.

When Mu Xuezhi thought of this, she couldn't help but feel a little ashamed and angry. She shook her shoulders slightly, not letting Jiang Li lean on her. She picked up the wine pot on the table and filled their glasses with wine. She looked at him calmly, "Will it work if you pretend to be dead?"

"Hehe, who's pretending to be dead?"

Jiang Li seemed to be full of energy all of a sudden. He clinked glasses with Mu Xuezhi, then raised his glass and drank it all in one gulp.

"You're not going to get drunk and go crazy again, are you?"

"When have I ever been drunk?" Jiang Li stretched his neck and asked back. Mu Xuezhi glanced at him indifferently, "Last time on the road to heaven, it wasn't you who rolled down from the road to heaven?"

"That is..." Jiang Li stammered again and couldn't speak. Mu Xuezhi raised the corners of her lips and smiled.

Jiang Li filled their glasses again with refills, quite unconvinced, and clinked glasses with Mu Xuezhi again. Mu Xuezhi picked up the glass and took a sip, while Jiang Li drank up the glass. However, when he put down the glass, he suddenly felt as if something was wrong.

Why are so many eyes staring at me?

Zhu Junhuang's eyes were gentle. She stood up and walked to Jiang Li, filling Jiang Li's glass again.

How could Jiang Li not drink? After finishing this cup, there were still six cups left.

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

Zhu Qiutang disappeared from the table at some point. When she came back, she was wearing a gorgeous dance dress. Zhu Taozhi didn't join her because she was already drunk and leaning against Su Yaoyao's arms. Su Yaoyao hugged her and patted her back helplessly. Zhu Qiutang came to Jiang Li, then sat on his lap naturally and leaned close to his ear, "I just learned a new dance. Can you play the piano for me?"

"Okay, okay." Jiang Li's voice was unclear.

"you're drunk?"

"No." Jiang Li leaned in close and kissed Zhu Qiutang on the face, "Give me the score."

Zhu Qiutang handed the music score of the dance to Jiang Li. Jiang Li took a quick glance at it and understood it by heart. But just as he stood up, he remembered that he didn't bring his zither. Fortunately, he had it in Zhu Junhuang's storage ring. She handed the zither to Jiang Li, and Jiang Li sat under the tree.

The light of fluorite poured down, and under the influence of slight spiritual energy, it illuminated Zhu Qiutang like a spotlight. Her black dance dress was covered with glittering gems. Jiang Li's fingertips gently stroked the strings. This was not a cheerful song, but a sad and gentle one. Zhu Qiutang's body swayed, and she danced really well. There were few people at the table who could dance better than her.

Su Yaoyao was also watching carefully, biting her lips lightly and saying nothing.

She was not that good at dancing. Su Xixi noticed her little expression and raised her little face slightly. When it came to dancing skills, she never felt that she was inferior to anyone.

Jiang Li played the piano very seriously. The original sounds in the courtyard gradually faded away, leaving only the sound of the piano. The door in the courtyard that was originally closed quietly opened. Lingyin stood by the door, quietly looking at the man who was playing the piano. The coldness on her face gradually melted away, turning into complex, suppressed emotions.

Halfway through the performance, Jiang Li continued playing according to the music score, but with a different mood. The gloom in the courtyard seemed to disappear again, and Zhu Qiutang's dance steps became more cheerful. When the song ended, Zhu Qiutang's eyes were fixed on Jiang Li's cheek, with the corners of his mouth raised.

She walked to Jiang Li, held his head, and kissed him gently on the forehead.

Jiang Li looked up.

Su Xixi walked over at some point and gently poked Jiang Li's shoulder. Then she quickly put her hands behind her back and looked at him, "Can I dance for you too?"

"Jump, you can jump."

Jiang Li's fingertips plucked the strings again, and this time he played a more famous song in this world. Su Xixi stood on tiptoe under the fluorite, her skirt fluttering, the bright light falling on her porcelain-white skin. Su Xixi's smile was undisguised and bright.

After the song ended, Su Xixi walked in front of Jiang Li. As soon as she lowered her head, Jiang Li reached out and poked her on the face.

Su Xixi was not annoyed. She just reached out and tidied up his messy hair a little, then returned to her seat with her hands behind her back.
