Why do you always want to be my Taoist partner?

"I have a headache and want to get caught in the rain."

"It's true that you want some water to get into your brain." Youlan said sarcastically again. Jiang Li was not angry. He used his spiritual energy to evaporate the water vapor on his body, took off his outer clothes, and looked at Youlan in front of him. Before he could say anything, Youlan handed him a porcelain bottle.

"what?"

"The spiritual medicine for warming the soul is not a particularly good one. Don't expect it to have much effect."

Jiang Li took the porcelain bottle, opened it and smelled a light floral scent. He looked up into Youlan's eyes, but Youlan turned her face away, not wanting to meet his gaze. There was a heavy rain outside the window, but the room was so quiet that one could hear a pin drop.

"Thanks."

Youlan stood up, but did not respond to him. She just walked straight out the door. Jiang Li watched her figure pass by him. He said, "It's raining so hard, why don't you... not go back?"

Youlan didn't look back, "Do you think I can't use my spiritual energy to block the rain like you do?"

There was a moment when Jiang Li wanted to grab her wrist, but in the end he lacked the courage for some reason. He watched Youlan walk out the door. The door of the room was closed by Youlan's spiritual energy. He sat on a chair, listening to the fierce rain outside the window.

Dabai was sweeping his tail across the bed, looking at Jiang Li, and suddenly said, "I thought you would want to keep her."

"I……"

Jiang Li didn't know why he lost the courage to reach out his hand at that moment.

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

Youlan returned to the room.

She took off her wet dress, wiped her cheeks and hair with a towel, and came to the bed. Her bed was next to the window. The sound of wind, rain, thunder and lightning outside the window was loud. She raised her head slightly, her eyes fixed on the raindrops falling outside the window.

Everything in the darkness seemed particularly deep, so the sounds of heartbeat and breathing became extremely clear.

She hugged her knees gently, and her eyelashes stained with water droplets slowly drooped.

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

The rain lasted for two or three days. Youlan would come to Jiang Li's room on time every day, knock on his door, gently hold his hand, and help him practice for two hours. Sometimes Jiang Li would quietly open his eyes and look at her cheek, but Youlan always kept her eyes closed.

After the training, Youlan would let go of his hand, turn around and walk out the door.

After three days of rain, it finally stopped. Youlan no longer had to go to Jiang Li's room. After all, the courtyard was more spacious and no one would come here on weekdays. It happened to be afternoon, and when Fairy Yue came here, Youlan had just opened her eyes.

She let go of Jiang Li's hand and just as she stood up, she saw Fairy Yue walking in.

"Youlan is here too." Fairy Yue's voice is always so gentle.

"what happened?"

"It's okay. I came to see my junior brother for something."

"Oh." Youlan nodded gently, "Then I won't bother you guys anymore, you guys chat."

"It's not something very private." Fairy Yue came to Youlan and gently placed her hand on Youlan's shoulder. Youlan sat back in the chair. "I just found out some news and wanted to tell you."

"Ok?"

"The sect celebration is because the peach tree has borne fruit. The names of the people to be invited have been decided, so I thought I'd come and tell you about it."

Youlan nodded slightly, but Jiang Li was a little confused, "Peach Mother Tree?"

Fairy Yue explained to Jiang Li, "The sect celebration is held every ten years. A portion of the peaches from the mother tree will be taken out and distributed to the younger generation of cultivators. This year, eight peaches can be taken out."

"Six of them will be given out in the form of a debate, and the remaining two, one will be given to the person with the best painting skills that day, and the other will be given to the person with the best dancing skills."

It seems that the practice of Yeyue Sect is really leisurely. It may also be because of the rich resources in Guiyuan Domain. When Jiang Li was in the lower realm, if there was such a good thing, he would just take out a few and let you discuss swords and share them. How could you share things by dancing or painting?

"Are the fruits of the peach mother tree very precious?" Jiang Li asked curiously.

"One pill can directly raise the realm below the fifth level of the Divine Body by one level, and two pills can directly break through a small realm from the fifth level of the Divine Body to the tenth level of the Divine Body." Fairy Yue explained gently.

Fairy Yue looked at Jiang Li and said, "The people we invited this time are no ordinary people. Junior brother, you don't have to participate in the sword fight. Master has reserved two peaches for each of us."

Jiang Li hesitated for a moment, "If I want to participate, can I participate?"

"Of course, I will participate when the time comes, but your current cultivation level is not high enough, so don't force yourself."

"What is the level of cultivation of the people we invited this time?"

"The three places were given to Jiang Lingyu. Jiang Lingyu came with Bai Zigui, Cen Qiushui, and Mo Jian. You met Bai Zigui and Cen Qiushui last time. Bai Zigui's methods have always been a mystery. He probably doesn't care about these two peaches, but he came to open the bet. Cen Qiushui... It is rumored that she obtained the Saint-level spirit bow inherited by the Elf Queen. Now she has no rivals below the third level of soul. As for Mo Jian... We are not very familiar with each other. He has always been a loner. He is an especially powerful sword cultivator and masters the Broken Water Sword. His cultivation is equivalent to Ji Wuming, both of them are at the second level of soul."

"As for Burning Snow Region... Master did invite the Jun family. As for who from the Jun family will come... It's not clear yet. It could be Jun Wenning, or the real heir of the Jun family who was just found from the lower realm... I remember Senior Brother Jiang Li said that she is an old friend of yours."

Jiang Li's eyebrows twitched.

Fairy Yue continued, "There are also three vacancies in the Burning Snow Region. By then, there should be a new heir to the Burning Snow Region demon clan, who has the blood of a dragon and has just entered the spirit realm. His name is Ji Boyuan."

"The other one is Feng Xisi and Feng Xi Nian from the Phoenix clan."

"Wait, aren't there two people?"

"Both sisters have reached the eighth level of Divine Body... and can merge into one."

Jiang Li:?

Why did he just think of something strange in his head.

"Is that so?" Jiang Li nodded. He still remembered the two little phoenixes. They were two silly and innocent little phoenixes, but they were quite cute.

Jiang Li didn't care about these things. He was still thinking about what Fairy Yue had just said. Would he have a chance to meet Junior Sister Bai Sheng during this sect celebration?

It has been almost half a year since we last saw each other, and I don’t know how Bai Sheng is doing now.

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

This was all the information that Fairy Yue brought. She seemed to have something else she wanted to say to Jiang Li. Youlan seemed to sense something, so she stood up and left first. Before leaving, her eyes became cold again.

"What's wrong?" Jiang Li saw that Fairy Yue was hesitant to speak.

"It's nothing... I just wanted to dance for you again."

Jiang Li:?

He looked at Fairy Yue strangely. After a second or two, Fairy Yue realized that what she said seemed a little wrong. She shook her head gently and explained slowly, "I always feel uneasy when I think about... taking off the mask. I'm afraid that something might go wrong, so... I hope you can watch me dance again."

"Oh." Jiang Li nodded, "Okay, come to think of it... I also have something to tell you."

"Ok?"

Jiang Li got up and went to the room, and took out the second dress he made for Fairy Yue last time. Fairy Yue usually wore a white Taoist robe, so he made this dance dress black. There were some silver chains on the black chest wrap, and some tassels on the hip skirt. Jiang Li wrapped up the clothes and said, "I have made this second dress too."

"Eh?"

"I had a headache after practicing swordplay, so I made one." Jiang Li's explanation was quite normal. Fairy Yue responded softly. She took off the mask, hesitated for a moment, and looked up at him. "Do you want me to wear it for you to see?"

Jiang Li seemed to see a hint of shyness in her eyes.

"What a strange question. Fairy Yue, if you want to wear it, wear it. If you don't want to wear it, just don't wear it. Youlan's figure is about the same as yours. If you don't like it... I can give it to her."

Fairy Yue's lips seemed to purse slightly, and her eyes became somewhat resentful. After a while, she replied in a low voice, "I want to... give it a try."

"Well, I'll wait for you."

So Fairy Yue walked into the room holding her dress, and while she was entering the room, Jiang Li knocked on his head.

Jiang Xiaoli, ah Jiang Xiaoli, you have been harmed by women. Now you become subconsciously smooth-talking when talking to a normal woman. If you continue like this, one day you will die in a woman's belly.

Be serious, Jiang Xiaoli! You can become a normal person! Jiang Xiaoli!

Not long after, Fairy Yue walked out of Jiang Li's room. She had changed into the split dance dress. The bra on her upper body tightly wrapped her breasts, not revealing any skin on her chest, but the snow-white skin of her collarbone and waist was clearly visible, as smooth as milk, and the cross-body skirt on her lower body made her snow-white thigh skin faintly visible. Fairy Yue was not wearing shoes or socks, and her calves under the skirt were straight and slender, and there was a slender silver chain on her left ankle. Such a small decoration made her inexplicably attractive.

Jiang Li's gaze moved upwards, landing on her eyes. Her eyes were somewhat evasive at the moment, and she was obviously so embarrassed that she didn't know where to put her hands. She put her two small hands behind her back and whispered, "This dress... is a bit excessive to wear in a sect. I look like a demon sect witch..."

"Really?" Jiang Li smiled innocently.

"You're still... staring at me..." Fairy Yue's tone seemed a little complaining.

"The moon is full. If I don't look at it, wouldn't it seem like I don't understand romance?"

After saying that, Jiang Li silently slapped himself in the face with a blank expression. Fairy Yue was startled and looked at him in confusion, "Huh?"

"It's okay..." Jiang Li's mouth twitched, "It's okay. If another woman wore it, it might make her look charming and enchanting, but it makes you look quite pure."

Fairy Yue turned her face away, "You mean I don't have any feminine charm at all?"

“…I think this is a compliment to you.”

"Oh." Fairy Yue let out a soft "oh" and took out the voice stone that Jiang Li gave her last time. She stood on tiptoe slightly, and her snow-white toes touched the ground, but they were not stained with dust.

"I will only wear this dress once and dance for you. Just this once. There will be no next time."

…Jiang Li tilted his little head.

...No, I can’t blame it all on you, Jiang Xiaoli.

...She has no sense of propriety when speaking!

Chapter 422: Chapter Shut Up

In any case, it is always a pleasure to watch beautiful fairies dancing.

Jiang Li leaned back in his chair, the tea on the table was still slightly steaming. Jiang Li picked up the teacup, feeling that what was missing at the moment was a fruit plate. In order to maintain the most basic respect, Jiang Li's gaze never left Yue Fairy. His eyes fell on Yue Fairy's face without any hesitation, and Yue Fairy seemed unable to bear his burning gaze, always turning her face away in panic.

At the same time, Jiang Li would also lower his head slightly, looking at Fairy Yue's slightly raised toes and slender ankles. The silver chain on her ankles was really the finishing touch, making the girl's already beautiful and soft ankles even more elegant. After Fairy Yue finished her dance, she hesitated for a moment, came to sit on the chair next to Jiang Li, and then heard her whisper, "Why... are you staring at my ankles?"

"Isn't it because you avoided my gaze? Where else should I look?"

Jiang Li was not embarrassed at all when his little habit was exposed. Instead, he asked confidently. Before Fairy Yue could answer, he continued to ask, "Then where do you want me to stare at? A dancer's feet are like the roots of a plant. If the pace is not well controlled, the dance will naturally be messy."

Fairy Yue was so ashamed by what he said that she said in a flustered voice, "I... didn't mean that..."

She lowered her head slightly, "I didn't say...you can't look..."

Her tone was inexplicably weak, and Jiang Li was suddenly surprised. Something was wrong.

He could clearly see the pink flush behind Fairy Yue's ears. Her slightly flustered trembling voice sounded strangely beautiful in his ears. Jiang Li stood up and said, "I also want to sign up for the sect competition."

Fairy Yue looked at him and said, "Your cultivation..."

"It's okay to give it a try." Jiang Li smiled, "Would you like to practice swordplay with me?"

"Okay." Fairy Yue nodded gently and stood up, still wearing the dance dress. Jiang Li did not hesitate and said, "This time... Fairy Yue, please don't hold back."

The last time he was able to break the Moon Fairy's mask with one stroke of his sword was because the Moon Fairy was not on guard and had subconsciously suppressed some of her cultivation, so he was able to do it so easily. After all, the Moon Fairy was also at the tenth level of the Divine Body, and his current cultivation was at the fifth level of the Divine Body. How could the gap between their cultivation levels be filled so easily?

Jiang Li had never met any peerless geniuses in the past. Most of the time, his cultivation in the lower realm was smooth sailing with few thrills. This sword fight at this moment could be regarded as the most difficult one Jiang Li had fought in recent times.

The sword is sure to hit the target, but even if it hits the target, it will be blocked by the protective aura around Fairy Yue. Everyone's protective aura has a weakness, just like the eye of an array, if you find it you can defeat it in one fell swoop. Since he said not to hold back, Fairy Yue naturally went all out.

She is the Moon Fairy, a demon spirit, the inheritor of the Demon Emperor's bloodline, and Su Yeli's direct disciple. Each of these titles is particularly famous alone. Her spirit sword Yuanhong is a spirit sword at the peak of the Saint grade. The sword in Jiang Li's hand is not as good as it could be. It's not that Jiang Li doesn't want to take out the Burning Snow Sword... It's just that since people from the Jun family are coming for the sect competition, he won't be able to use that sword, so he has to get used to it.

Three incense sticks of time passed, and Jiang Li failed to find the weakness of Fairy Yue. Instead, the spirit sword in his hand had a little gap, and his arm was a little numb. Jiang Li took a deep breath, concentrated, and continued to search patiently. Since he was going to go all out, Fairy Yue did not hide any strength anymore. Her demon spirit body was fully stimulated. When Jiang Li inadvertently saw her eyes, he was dazed for a moment, and was hit by the sword on his left shoulder, leaving a deep blood mark.

"Come again." Jiang Li was not convinced.

In terms of physique, he is no worse than Fairy Yue. The five-colored spiritual energy of the chaotic body flows in his body, catalyzing the speed of the divine body to the extreme. He also uses the power of his natural charm. When Fairy Yue's eyes met his, she was dazed for a moment. In Jiang Li's eyes, a weak gap finally appeared in the spiritual energy flowing around her. The chance was only this moment, and he hurriedly drew his sword. The moment the sword tip touched there, he restrained his strength, shattering her weakness while not letting the sword tip move forward an inch.

Fairy Yue lowered her head slightly, looking at the sword tip resting on the ravine on her chest. She felt a slight stinging pain, then raised her eyes again and said softly, "You... are so powerful."

In fact, she had never thought that she would lose before she drew her sword. Jiang Li retracted the sword, and her dress came apart because of the cut, revealing the moon-white dress inside. However, the moon-white dress seemed to have some cracks at this moment, and it broke apart in the next moment. Perhaps it was because it was tied too tightly before, and now it was subjected to some external force, like a flood. Jiang Li's sight suddenly showed a large piece of trembling white and soft flesh. He had expected this, so he closed his eyes at this moment, and immediately spoke to prove his innocence, "I didn't see anything..."

It feels like there's something fishy going on here.

Fairy Yue covered her chest lightly with one hand and walked into the room. When her footsteps sounded again, Jiang Li slowly opened his eyes. Fairy Yue in front of him had changed back into her white Taoist robe.

"Your natural charm... is too much of a rip-off."

Fairy Yue's voice seemed to have some complaints, and her cheeks were slightly red at the moment. Jiang Li looked at her innocently, "Is your demon spirit body different?"

"It's different..." Fairy Yue's cheeks seemed to be getting redder.

The demon spirit's body subconsciously makes people want to submit to her, but Jiang Li's natural charm is...

Fairy Yue always felt a little awkward at this moment. She was still holding the dress in her hands. "The dress... is damaged."

"Aren't you only going to wear it once anyway?" Jiang Li answered casually. Fairy Yue hummed softly and slowly lowered her head, but didn't say anything. Jiang Li sat back in his chair and poured hot tea into the cup. Fairy Yue also came to the table and sat down. After a while, Fairy Yue suddenly said, "You said... I look good in this dance dress."

…Every woman is particularly good at playing charades.

...And Jiang Xiaoli was once a master at solving puzzles.

"It's quite beautiful." Jiang Li took a sip of tea and pretended he knew nothing.

Fairy Yue nodded gently, "What a pity."
