Why do you always want to be my Taoist partner?

"You also held back." Jiang Li smiled helplessly, looking down at the clothes that were pierced by her sword. He looked into Youlan's eyes and asked, "Is there any place in Yeyue Sect suitable for enjoying the snow?"

Youlan was stunned for a moment and turned around.

Jiang Li followed her. At this moment, it started snowing again. Snowflakes fell one by one. Youlan flew up on her sword and Jiang Li followed behind her. Finally, they stopped at a mountain peak. Youlan sat on the edge of the cliff. All she could see was a vast expanse of white. Almost the entire Yeyue Sect's scenery was in her sight. Jiang Li came and sat down beside her.

They were both silent for a while until Youlan spoke up, "What are you doing in the upper realm?"

"The reason is a bit complicated. If you want to talk about it, I'll tell you slowly."

Youlan said "oh" and looked at the heavy snow in front of her. Jiang Li told her the story. The story was not that long. After listening to the story, they both fell silent and looked at the snow scene in front of them.

"How have you been?"

"I thought the world would be fine without you, but now I see you again. It's really unlucky."

"I won't be able to stay in Yeyue Sect for long. I will probably leave in half a year and go somewhere else to gain more experience."

Youlan said "oh" coldly, and snowflakes fell on her eyelashes.

After a while, Jiang Li asked softly, "Are you cold?"

Youlan didn't say anything.

Jiang Li gently put his arm around her shoulders, seemingly shaking off the snow on her shoulders, but his palms were gradually filled with her warmth. Jiang Li turned his head and looked at her snow-white neck. Suddenly, some strange thoughts came to his mind, so after a while he withdrew his hand and sat down obediently again.

Youlan seemed to turn her head inadvertently and gave him a strange look.

"Do you think I'll be played hard to get like your other women?"

Jiang Li was full of helplessness, "No, it's... I have some health problems recently."

"how?"

"I don't know how to describe it. I can't be tempted easily... I'm easily impulsive."

"Really?" Youlan sneered, "What will happen?"

Her fingertips suddenly gently pulled the collar of her chest. After the shirt was pulled, a touch of soft and white skin was exposed. Her fingertips slowly hooked it, and Jiang Li stared at it intently. The next second, Youlan pulled up the collar again. She suddenly laughed, "Your eyes just now were like a **dog."

"..." Jiang Li gritted his teeth.

Chapter 413: Shut Up

Snow fell from the gray clouds, and there was a vast expanse of white in front of them. The fluttering snowflakes fell on their shoulders.

Youlan seemed to be in a much better mood than before, otherwise she wouldn't have hooked her fingertips on her lapels and deliberately made some provocative moves. Perhaps seeing Jiang Li getting so angry would make her feel better.

Jiang Li didn't care. After a while, he leaned his head gently on Youlan's shoulder.

"doing what?"

"Let me lean on you for a while." Jiang Li's voice was very soft, revealing a hint of fatigue.

"tired?"

"Kind of."

"What are you tired of?" Youlan asked calmly.

"Nothing." Jiang Li closed his eyes.

Youlan didn't ask any more questions and just let him lean on her like this. Until the snowflakes fell all over her shoulders, Jiang Li slowly raised his head, looked into her eyes, and said softly, "Thank you."

Youlan stood up, shook off the snowflakes on her body, glanced at him, and said, "I'll come to see you tomorrow afternoon."

"doing what?"

"Sword practice."

"Ok, I will wait for you."

Jiang Li and she parted here and returned to their respective rooms. Jiang Li continued to take out the broken dragon crystal and began to refine it. The road to body building was not that hard. He just used spiritual energy to continuously temper the essence in the dragon crystal. Today's dragon crystal refining seemed to have reached its limit. He wanted to try to refine it more, but Dabai slapped him with his claws, "Okay, stop refining."

Jiang Li didn't say anything else. He put the dragon crystal aside and leaned against the window to look at the snow outside. It was gray and there was nothing to see. Dabai jumped onto his shoulder and glanced at his profile. "What are you thinking about?"

"nothing."

"Her situation is fine. The elf spring water we sent last time can relieve a lot of the pain of the Nine Nether Fire. The Youyue Green Lotus will bloom in a while, and Su Yeli has also promised to send it to her. The Youyue Green Lotus can suppress the Nine Nether Fire for several months. You don't have to worry too much." Dabai seemed to guess what he was thinking and said softly.

Jiang Li hummed softly.

There are some things that he shouldn't think about. It's meaningless to think about them, but they always come to his mind. Has Ling Wei been alone for the past thousand years since his death? Staying alone in the sealed place, being burned by the Nine Nether Fire, she can only wait for a long and painful time...

"You've seen this once before." Dabai said suddenly.

Jiang Li was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at her. He suddenly thought of something and asked, "What about the inner demon tribulation?"

"Yes, the inner demon tribulation is actually created by the way of heaven. She is in the sealed place... It takes a very long time for her to accumulate strength to communicate with the lower world. She has accumulated it for a thousand years just for that one meeting. You have already met on that day."

"Why...she didn't tell me."

"Telling you is just to make you think too much. Right now, you can't help in any way except waiting anxiously. Even if your cultivation reaches that of a Divine Lord... you can't take her out of the sealed place. Only if she stays there can the evil demons from outside the domain be completely sealed. Once she leaves, the seal will loosen, and the evil demons will wreak havoc on the world again."

Dabai stretched out his pink paws with flesh pads and gently rubbed his face. "There's no point in thinking too much. When you reach the soul realm... you can only see her once. Your sword four is a sword that goes against the laws of nature. If you can make a breakthrough in your swordsmanship and comprehend sword five... you might have a chance to extinguish the Nine Netherworld for her."

"Sword Four..." Jiang Li lowered his head slightly.

He had seen Sword 4 before on Tongtian Road. Perhaps that was only a part of Sword 4, but even if it was only a trace, the mystery of it had already made him feel a little at a loss. He didn't know how he had comprehended Sword 4 in the first place, and an inexplicable sense of frustration surged in his heart.

Dabai was about to say something when Jiang Li suddenly turned around and walked out of the room.

"Where are you going?" she asked softly.

"Let's go to Tongtian Road and take another look."

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

On the road to heaven.

Jiang Li came here again. He had been here once before, so the way was smooth. However, after he came to the 999th floor, he had just stepped in and just sensed the sword force of Swords One, Two, Three, and Four, but the next moment he was injured by Sword One. Even though he tried his best to condense the sword force, he could only stay there for three seconds. It seemed that if he stayed for one more second, he would be swallowed up by the sword force of this floor.

Dabai was waiting for him outside. When she saw him come out, she stretched out her paw and patted his face. "Your spirit is exhausted. Have a good rest and come back next time."

Jiang Li was silent for several seconds, nodded slightly, and slowly walked down the stairs.

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

The next day, noon.

Youlan arrived as promised. Today was a sunny day with the first snow not yet melted. The side of Jiang Li's bamboo house was covered in white. She was wearing a simple white flowing cloud brocade dress. Her snow-white cheeks were as clear as the first snow and her eyes were bright, not as dim as before.

Jiang Li had been waiting there for quite a while. He randomly picked a spiritual sword from the storage space and said, "Come on."

Youlan's swordsmanship has improved a lot in the past six months. Moreover, as a Chaos Body, her spiritual energy is much stronger than that of an ordinary seventh-level Divine Body. When Jiang Li doesn't use the first, second, third sword, he can at most tie with Youlan. Youlan glanced at him and asked, "Where is the sword power you used on Tongtian Road that day?"

"It consumes too much of the soul. It's useful to save the power of the soul at night."

"Oh." Youlan said, and sat on the grass, looking at Jiang Li. Jiang Li looked a little tired, so he came and sat down beside Youlan. The two of them just sat on the grass, looking at the sky. Youlan said lightly, "You seem to be worried."

Before Jiang Li could answer, Youlan added, "No, ever since I met you, you have always looked like you were worried. Why?"

"Someone is waiting for me. I want to see her soon."

"Oh." That made sense. Youlan had just heard him talk about Ling Wei yesterday. She hesitated for a moment and said, "Do you know how I got my cultivation?"

"Ok?"

"Dual cultivation between Chaos Bodies is extremely beneficial. A lot of my current cultivation was passed down to me directly by my master." Youlan looked at Jiang Li's strange eyes and patted him on the head with her hand. "What are you thinking? It's not the kind of dual cultivation you think."

Jiang Li nodded, and after a while, "I'm just telling you this."

"Yeah." Jiang Li hummed softly.

Yesterday, Jiang Li also told her about his past life, and let Youlan know that he and her master had some connection in the past life. After a few seconds, Youlan added with a guilty conscience, "It's not for you to harm the master."

Jiang Li smiled helplessly, "I won't do that."

"Really not?"

"If I do something that she would think is excessive just to see her, then that would be putting the cart before the horse." Jiang Li murmured softly, and after a moment he smiled bitterly.

Dabai just told him last night that he had told her many things about his time in the underworld, including his female confidantes. Dabai told Ling Wei everything. Dabai said that she just smiled and didn't have any other reaction. But we will know what happened next time we meet.

Youlan stretched out her hand and poked him. Jiang Li was startled, but Youlan suddenly gently grasped his hand. Her expression was calm. Soon Jiang Li felt Youlan's aura connected to his body. This was the mystery of the chaotic body. She could pass the chaotic aura she refined to Jiang Li to assist Jiang Li in his practice and ignore the rules of heaven. Jiang Li could feel the essence of the spiritual objects refined by her integrating into his body little by little. He glanced at Youlan's profile and suddenly didn't know what to say.

"I don't have any obsession with cultivation. I will help you practice for two hours every day. You will owe me a favor in the future."

"Okay." Jiang Li agreed softly.

Two hours later, Youlan opened her eyes. These two hours were equivalent to her consuming spiritual energy, and Jiang Li was able to use her chaotic spiritual essence to refine more dragon crystals for body building. Only chaotic bodies can do this, and ordinary cultivators cannot do this at all.

"Okay, I'll come back at this time tomorrow."

Youlan stood up with brisk steps without hesitation. Jiang Li called her softly, but Youlan did not turn around. "What's wrong?"

"Thank you."

"You're welcome. Just remember to owe me a favor in the future. Also, don't be so sentimental. I just think... you are worthy enough for me to do this."

After Youlan finished saying this, she disappeared in front of Jiang Li.

Jiang Li smiled silently, sat down and felt the changes in his body. After accumulating these days, his cultivation finally reached the fifth level of the Divine Body. However, at this moment, he did not go to the previously agreed sword practice place to find someone to practice sword with. Instead, he came to the Tongtian Road again, entered the 999th floor, and comprehended the four swords that made his soul tremble.

This time he only held out for a few seconds before he had to retreat again. His spiritual power was completely exhausted. He slowly walked down the mountain and returned to his room to slowly warm up his soul.

Youlan arrived as promised at noon the next day. She gently grasped Jiang Li's hand again. Two hours later, she stood up and said lightly, "Let's go."

After she left, Jiang Li came to Tongtian Road again. This time, it only took a few seconds for his spiritual power to be completely consumed. He did have a few more vague insights in his head, but in front of the sword power of Tongtian Road, they were just like a few drops of water in a river. He didn't know how long it would take for him to fully comprehend them.

His dreams became more and more clear these nights, and Su Yeli's face appeared frequently in his dreams. Even if he wanted to forget it, it always lingered in his dreams.

Youlan came every day these days to help him practice for two hours before leaving. She rarely said anything. Whenever Jiang Li wanted to say something, she would stick out her fingers to cover his lips and say coldly, "Shut up."

So Jiang Li had no choice but to remain silent. Gradually, another half a month passed. After today's refining was completed, Youlan stood up and glanced at him indifferently, "It's too troublesome to come to your place every day, move to my place."

"Okay." Jiang Li agreed softly, packed up his things and followed her, watching her skirt swaying slightly in the wind.

Chapter 414: Chapter Story

So Jiang Li moved to Youlan's courtyard.

There are many empty rooms in the courtyard. Fairy Yue lives next door. She often comes to play chess with Youlan. At this time, Jiang Li is silently refining dragon crystals in the room. In fact, even after he moved here, he and Youlan did not have much communication. Every day, in addition to refining dragon crystals, he and Youlan practiced hand in hand. They were both very silent. In the evening, he would go out alone, walk to Tongtian Road, look at those sword moves, and after exhausting all his spiritual power, he would go back to the room to sleep.

Before I knew it, I had been in Yeyue Sect for almost two months. I would go see Ren Shutong again in a few days.

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

On Moon-Watching Mountain.

"Master."

Fairy Yue came to Su Yeli and called her softly. At this moment, Su Yeli's eyes were clearly open, but they were not focused. Instead, they were a little distracted. No one knew what she was looking at. She was brought back to her senses by Fairy Yue's call.

"Master, what are you looking at?" Fairy Yue asked softly.

"The road to heaven." Su Yeli answered softly.

Jiang Li didn't know that every time he came to Tongtian Road, there was always a pair of eyes above him spying on him. When he sat on the steps to rest and looked at the bright moon, the moon was actually also looking at him.

"Jiang Li said that he would leave the sect for a couple of days and would be back in about seven days."

"Let him go." Su Yeli said calmly.

She knew where Jiang Li was going and where he came from, but she was a little surprised that Ren Shutong let him go so easily. The woman's obsession was particularly deep, and it had even been integrated into her Taoist rhyme. Otherwise, she would not have been rejected by the Heavenly Dao and would still be only at the first level of the Divine Lord.

"Master, are you going to the sealed place soon?"

"I'll go in two days."

Fairy Yue took out an envelope from her hand and said, "Jiang Li hopes that Master can help him bring this letter to the one in the sealed place."

"Why doesn't he come to see me in person?" Su Yeli said lightly.

"I did ask him this, and he said... it seemed like Master didn't want to see him, so he didn't come in person." Fairy Yue answered softly.

Su Yeli was speechless.
