Why do you always want to be my Taoist partner?

"You...you...you lied to me...Jiang Li..." Ren Shutong's eyelashes were stained with water droplets, and Jiang Li still gently stroked her back, "What did I lie to you about?"

"Yesterday, yesterday you went down into the pool... went down into the pool to save me..."

"Your cultivation has reached the level of a divine master. You can suppress all the natural charms. It will not bring you any negative impact, even if you are injured." Jiang Li turned his face slightly, leaned close to her ear, and whispered.

There are not many records about natural charm. Ren Shutong is the only one in the world who has natural charm at the level of God Lord. This was originally a secret known only to her, but Jiang Li's system has already explained all the functions of natural charm to him in detail.

"From the first day we met, you deliberately used your natural charm to bewitch my soul. After that, every meal was filled with your saliva." Jiang Li pinched her earlobe with his fingertips. "Also... I don't know when you started coming to my room every night. I didn't feel something was wrong until the third day after I came here, so I put a photo stone behind the mirror. Maybe you came to my room on the first night?"

Ren Shutong's body suddenly became a little stiff. Although Jiang Li's voice was actually very gentle, she subconsciously imagined that Jiang Li's voice had become cold.

"That day... what you gave me was indeed the nectar of the Fenro flower, but it was mixed with some other nectar."

"I hate it most when someone lies to me." Jiang Li said.

Ren Shutong's breathing became a little rapid, but Jiang Li reached out and gently hugged her, "But I don't know why, I can't be angry with you."

Ren Shutong was stunned.

"Yesterday, I kept wondering why you did these things. You are already a Divine Lord, enough to look down on everyone in the world, but you are so nice to me. Your intentions always make me feel uneasy. I hate lies and deception, but when I think that you do these things because you love me, I always find it hard to be angry with you."

"But sometimes I am hesitant. Love shouldn't be like this. It shouldn't be full of lies and deception. Yesterday... I know you were lying to me, but you lied to me because you loved me. I seemed to hear your cry for help. I heard you telling me to save me."

Jiang Li's voice was actually very gentle. "Do you still remember the day I asked you if you were lonely in these thousand years?"

"I... remember." Ren Shutong answered blankly.

"You have been practicing alone for thousands of years, in order to break through to the Divine Lord level and find me. This love is so heavy that it makes me feel anxious... So I no longer care about the things you lied to me. This is very unfair to you. Maybe you love the proud and powerful Jiang Li in the past, not me now, who has only reached the fourth level of the Divine Body. I have no memory of the past, but you still love me so much."

"So... maybe there are some reasons for leaving for a while this time. Maybe we all need to wake up for a while. Only after we separate, will we use pain to measure love."

"I know you don't want me to leave. Who wouldn't be afraid of loneliness? Of course, if you want, you can keep me here forever and imprison me by your side forever, but is this what you want? What do you want? Do you want me to be imprisoned by you and accompany you like a puppet, or do you want love?"

The thought that had just emerged in Ren Shutong's mind began to slowly fade away because of his words. She looked at Jiang Li with tears in her eyes. Jiang Li moved closer and kissed her lightly on the lips.

"I just said half a year and suddenly regretted it. Then I'll come to see you once every three months, okay?"

Ren Shutong's eyelashes trembled, "What if you met Ling Wei later?"

"I'll tell her about you."

"What if she doesn't like me?"

"I'll make her like you." Jiang Li said softly, but Ren Shutong was like a frightened deer, her body trembling slightly, "Why don't you leave?"

Jiang Li didn't say anything, but just looked into Ren Shutong's eyes tenderly. Ren Shutong's tears slowly fell from the corners of her eyes again. Jiang Li gently hugged her body and patted her back, as if he was coaxing a child.

Dabai was catching goldfish by the pond, swinging her tail in the pond. After attracting the goldfish, she scooped it up with her paws and ate it in one bite. She was quite surprised at the moment. She originally thought that Ren Shutong would be a big trouble, but now it seems... not as troublesome as she imagined.

"Stay with me for another three days... and leave after three days." Ren Shutong raised her head and looked at him dimly.

"Okay, you're so good." Jiang Li leaned close and touched her lips.

"From now on, you must come to see me every two months."

"it is good."

"From now on...there must be a place for me...by your side."

Jiang Li gently grasped Ren Shutong's hand, "As long as you want, you will always have it."

Ren Shutong moved closer to Jiang Li, her petal-like lips slightly opened, craving for warmth.

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

During the three days, Jiang Li couldn't even remember how many times he and Ren Shutong had practiced dual cultivation. Ren Shutong's bed sheets were changed again and again, and sometimes, in order to avoid trouble, they moved the dual cultivation location to the cold pond, under the peach tree, and in the courtyard. Dabai was watching boredly. She wanted to say something, but after thinking about it, she shut up. It was good that Jiang Li coaxed Ren Shutong at this moment. If he didn't coax her well, Ren Shutong might really lock Jiang Li by her side forever.

At this moment, Ren Shutong fell asleep tiredly in Jiang Li's arms.

Jiang Li lowered his head to look at her cheek, then leaned in and kissed her forehead gently.

In the middle of the night, Ren Shutong seemed to wake up in a daze, crying and saying to him, "Don't leave... Okay?"

But Jiang Li could only wipe away her tears gently and coax her to sleep again. The next morning, Jiang Li woke up earlier. He sat up from the bed and sat down at the desk. He left a letter for Ren Shutong and quietly put it aside. Ren Shutong didn't know when she woke up. She looked at Jiang Li blankly, "Are you leaving?"

"Ah."

"I want it again." Ren Shutong said softly.

"Weren't you exhausted last night?"

"But I still want to."

Ren Shutong slowly sat up from the bed and raised her long legs high.

"Knocked me... unconscious."

Jiang Li heard her mumbling as if she was out of her mind.

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

When Ren Shutong woke up, Jiang Li's figure in the room had disappeared.

She knew Jiang Li had left, and the room became empty again. A sense of loss surged in her heart. There were marks she left on Jiang Li's body. She knew Jiang Li had not gone far. For a moment, the idea of ​​catching him back and keeping him by her side came to her mind. She just sat up and saw the letter Jiang Li left for her beside the bed.

She picked up the letter.

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

“I’m always thinking a lot these days.

There are some things I don’t know where to start, so I thought of writing to you. I have been dreaming a lot recently, and I vaguely dreamed of some blurry scenes about my past life. I don’t know if I can recall those memories again.

I thought those memories were not that important to me, but I changed my mind recently. I think I still want to know, want to know those things about you in the past.

I really don't care about the things you lied to me. I have always been like this in the past, doing whatever it takes for love, so I have no right to blame you for being like this. I am still a little reluctant to leave, thank you for your careful care this month, I will take time to come back to see you in two months, and you should also remember to take good care of yourself.

I still feel guilty because you have waited for me for a thousand years, and I always feel sad when I think of your loneliness for a thousand years, so I want to tell you these words, please don’t worry or be afraid in the future, I will always be by your side, and even if I meet Ling Wei, I will talk to her about you.

The next time we meet, we won’t need to be suspicious of each other or lie to each other anymore. When the time comes... remember to get into my arms the first time, and I will hold you tightly.

Remember to take good care of yourself, don't stand in the rain like you did that day, you are no longer alone, I will hold an umbrella for you in the future."

Chapter 408: The Road to Heaven

At this moment, Jiang Li was riding on Dabai.

After all, this is the fastest way to travel now. Their destination is the Yeyue Sect in Guiyuan Domain, which is the sect where Fairy Yue and Youlan are currently.

Ren Shutong had not lied to him before. There was indeed some kind of secret in him that could be deduced, but it was actually not difficult to block it. It was just that Jiang Li himself could not do it. Now that Dabai was by his side, the secret in him would not be deduced, and no one would know that he was Jiang Li, the fallen domain lord of Jiangling Domain.

"What did you write in the letter you left for her?" Dabai asked curiously.

"I wrote something that would prevent her from catching up with me and taking me back." Jiang Li sighed softly.

"Oh." Dabai agreed casually, "How strange, she is clearly not such an easy-going person in my memory."

"She is just too paranoid." Jiang Li said softly, "She became paranoid because she couldn't get the love she wanted. But now that she is loved, her paranoia has gradually dissipated. In addition, she feels guilty towards me. I deliberately said before that I don't want her to lie to me."

"Do you really love her?" Dabai asked softly.

"I don't know." Jiang Li shook his head, "I can't tell."

"You have practiced dual cultivation quite a lot these days." Dabai said with some amusement.

"..." Jiang Li didn't know where her evil taste came from. Sometimes she didn't even know how to avoid him. She always stood by with her paws in her arms, wagging her tail, and watching with interest.

"I don't have any objection." Dabai answered casually, "Although I think she is stingy and selfish, and doesn't know how to repay kindness. Everyone in the world can say that she is bloodthirsty, tyrannical and cruel, but you can't."

Jiang Li looked at Dabai beside him, waiting for her second half of the sentence.

“Back then… she slaughtered the tens of millions of people in Ziyun Country in Guiyuan Domain in order to use their souls to make a soul bead. Only with the soul bead can your remaining soul be preserved, and the master can perform the secret technique… If she hadn’t done it, the master would have done it, but she chose to bear this sin.

The funny thing is that killing thousands of people to make soul beads is not a big sin in the eyes of the Heavenly Dao, but the one who used the secret method to let your soul enter the owner of the soul bead was brought down with the Nine Nether Fire by the Heavenly Dao. "

"What exactly is the way of heaven in this world?" Jiang Li was silent for a long time and asked softly.

"I'm not sure. He might be the first cultivator in the world to break through the realm and ascend to heaven. Anyway, everything in this world is in the eyes of Heaven, and all cultivators must abide by the rules of Heaven. If they don't, they will be punished to varying degrees by Heaven."

"I always feel that the Heavenly Dao is targeting you... It's more like it's coveting your future and trying to snatch the position that belongs to it. My master and I have always suspected that the evil demon from outside the domain... was also related to the Heavenly Dao."

Dabai was explaining to Jiang Li. She turned back to glance at Jiang Li inadvertently. At this moment, Jiang Li lowered his head, his eyelashes drooped, and he looked a little lost.

She was silent for a while too.

There are some things that she may not be supposed to say, but sooner or later he will know.

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

Two days later.

Guiyuan Domain, at the foot of Yeyue Sect Mountain.

As the largest sect in Guiyuan Domain, Yeyue Sect is naturally majestic and magnificent. At this moment, Jiang Li and Dabai are standing at the foot of Yeyue Sect. He looks up at the mountains in front of him and can't help feeling a little inexplicable emotion.

It is now past the time for Yeyue Sect to recruit new disciples, but if one wants to join the Yeyue Sect, there are naturally ways. The Yeyue Sect has a road that leads to heaven, with a total of one thousand levels. If one can climb from the bottom of the mountain to a higher level, then one can be selected by the three major factions of the Yeyue Sect, and Jiang Li is also planning to do so.

His current cultivation level of the fourth level of the Divine Body was not considered a genius among his peers. Jiang Li remembered that Fairy Yue's cultivation level was the tenth level of the Divine Body. She should be considered a genius of her generation, right? Jiang Li went up the mountain step by step and found the disciple guarding the mountain, hoping to take a trip to the Heavenly Road.

The disciple guarding the mountain glanced at him, but did not refuse. He just hinted something with his expression, saying that he had to guard the mountain for the moment and asked Jiang Li to wait for a while. Jiang Li understood something in an instant and quietly took out ten purple marrow coins. The disciple guarding the mountain immediately used the sound transmission jade to call his fellow disciples to guard the mountain for a while, and then took Jiang Li to the foot of the Tongtian Road, and told Jiang Li some details about the Tongtian Road on the way.

The road to heaven was founded by the leader of the Yeyue Sect a long time ago. Various tests are set up on it. Once you successfully climb the first 800 levels of the road to heaven, you will be directly qualified to join the inner sect. If you can reach the 900th level, you can choose one of the three major mountain gates to practice. If you can reach the 950th level, you can be trained as a core disciple and quasi-first sequence.

"What if we reach the thousandth floor?" Jiang Li asked curiously.

The disciple guarding the mountain looked at him with disdain, "Do you know Senior Brother Ji Wuming of Qingxuan Mountain?"

"Have heard a little bit."

"At the beginning, he had obtained the Lifeless Sword and came to Tongtian Road with it. At the age of eighteen, he only managed to climb to the 968th floor."

Jiang Li nodded thoughtfully, and then walked onto the first step of the road to heaven. There were three options in front of him. One was to draw a talisman paper, the second was to draw a formation, and the third was to practice a sword technique.

As long as one of these three options is passed, he can go to the next level. Jiang Li touched the material for drawing the talisman paper. After hesitating for a moment, he chose to draw the talisman paper. It only took ten breaths for the talisman paper to be drawn. The restriction on this level was opened, and he was able to ascend to the next level.

Jiang Li was not in a hurry. He had already made all the plans when he came to Yeyue Sect.

It is rumored that the leader of the Yeyue Sect, Su Yelan, has been in seclusion all year round. Dabai told him that this was an enemy, so it was particularly important to keep a low profile at this moment.

Jiang Xiaoli, keep a low profile! Mediocrity is the safest way to survive!

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

"Someone else is going to take the road to heaven."

Fairy Yue put down the chess piece in her hand and said suddenly.

Tongtian Road is also a particularly important part of the Yeyue Sect. Even if it is not used to recruit new disciples on weekdays, it is often used to test outer disciples, or for inner disciples to test and practice. After all, there are still many ancestral spirits in Tongtian Road, which train disciples on behalf of the Yeyue Sect.

There was a slight smile in Yue Xianzi's eyes. She stood up and looked at You Lan beside her. "How about going with me to take a look?"

Youlan also stood up and looked at the chessboard on the table, "I'm almost winning."

Fairy Yue turned her face away and said, "Come back and play again."

So Fairy Yue and Youlan came to the mirror of Yeyue Sect together. The mirror is a magical tool. When it is opened, one can see what is happening anywhere in the sect. Most of the time, it is used when some inner disciples are debating, and then it is broadcast to other inner disciples, or it is used for outer disciples to watch. At this moment, there are not many people in front of the mirror, only Fairy Yue and Youlan. When that face appeared in the mirror, Youlan was stunned for a moment.

"How high do you think he can go?" Fairy Yue asked softly.

Youlan shook her head. "I don't know. It would be best if I died there."

Although her words were cold, Fairy Yue looked into her eyes but did not see any hatred in them. She shook her head helplessly and moved her eyes to the mirror. At this moment, Jiang Li had already reached the 80th or 90th floor.

"It took Ji Wuming less than half an hour to get here." Fairy Yue said softly.

There is more than one choice on the road to heaven. Sword cultivators can choose the sword cultivator's method, and talisman cultivators and array cultivators also have their own choices. Jiang Li has been choosing the talisman paper method for the past eighty or ninety floors. It is not difficult to walk, but it is not fast either.

There were not many people in front of the mirror at first, but because Fairy Yue opened the mirror, some curious people came over and watched Jiang Li on the mirror walking on the road to heaven. At first, they just joined in the fun and made bets on how many floors this guy could reach, but when they saw him use the talisman paper method to walk all the way to the 400th floor, everyone present fell silent.

What’s important is not that he reached the 400th floor, but that it took him less than two hours to reach the 400th floor.

For the first few levels of the Tongtian Road, it is best to choose the path of sword cultivation. You only need to learn some sword manuals. On the contrary, talisman paper and formation techniques are particularly time-consuming. Even Senior Brother Qing Yuanzi from Qingfu Peak, when he was tested on this Tongtian Road, it took him... three hours to complete the first 400 levels.

Fairy Yue glanced back inadvertently. At this moment, Qing Yuanzi was in the crowd. He looked at Ming Jing with a particularly serious look, and even a bit of fanaticism. He seemed to be muttering something to himself, vaguely saying something like "It can be like this", "How did he do it", "This is from an ancient book" and so on.

Fairy Yue didn't know much about talisman paper and didn't understand the true meaning of it. She clearly remembered that Jiang Li was not very fast in drawing the talisman paper before, but in a flash, she suddenly understood something.

From the first floor to the four hundredth floor, Jiang Li's speed in climbing each floor seemed to have not changed. From drawing the simplest talisman paper in the beginning to drawing talismans close to the holy level now, in his hands, it seemed as common as eating and drinking.

Qing Yuanzi took out the sound transmission jade early on and called almost all the disciples who were free at the moment from the entire Qing Fu Peak to come to the mirror to watch Jiang Li draw talismans. A group of disciples from Qing Fu Peak were all dumbfounded at this moment, and were discussing what new methods of drawing talismans Jiang Li would use next. However, they never expected that after the 450th floor, Jiang Li suddenly... stopped drawing talismans.

He went to draw the formation.
