Why do you always want to be my Taoist partner?

"roll!"

Yue Ji threw the porcelain cup on the table towards Jiang Li. Fortunately, Jiang Li reacted quickly and grabbed the porcelain cup steadily in his hand and put it aside. "So I'm really leaving?"

Yue Ji ignored him, so Jiang Li turned around and walked out.

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

Yueji just stared at the empty door for a long time. She reached out her hand inconspicuously, wiped the tears from her eyes with the back of her hand, and began to curse the bastard in a low voice.

After muttering to herself for nearly an incense stick of time, she finally felt better. After a moment, she couldn't help but curse "liar" again.

When she smashed the porcelain cup just now, she used all her skills and the secret techniques of Tianji Sect's hidden weapons, but it was easily caught in someone's hand. The porcelain cup did not break, and his expression did not change at all.

Sure enough...it was just as she had guessed.

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

Jiang Li flew back to Hidden Sword Peak on his sword.

Previously, he used a scrap iron sword to fly the sword. Now that he has a new sword, he can throw away the scrap iron sword.

The life of a cultivator is actually very boring. It involves practicing sword skills, absorbing Qi into the body, and gaining enlightenment, and they keep repeating these three things. They need to go down the mountain once a month to complete the sect's assessment tasks and obtain sect contribution points, which can be exchanged for supplies.

He had completed the assessment task at the beginning of the month, so he had a lot of free time this month. Next he had to wait to meet Bai Sheng again in three days. All he had to do was practice sword more in the yard, and use his spiritual energy to improve his proficiency in drawing talismans and formations. This was how he had been spending his time when he had nothing to do over the years.

He has never really been giving up. Everyone thought he was giving up, but in fact he was just working hard secretly.

As for why I had to wait three days before meeting Bai Sheng...

When dealing with a girl who is very vigilant, you must never show too much enthusiasm. This is especially a point-deducting item. Jiang Li is very clear about this.

I just don't know... Is Dabai working hard now?

Jiang Li couldn't help but start thinking, after all, Dabai is a lazy fat cat.

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

In Bai Sheng's courtyard.

As the fifth-ranked female cultivator in Jijian Mountain, Bai Sheng certainly has her own courtyard. Her yard is very large and kept clean. At this moment, Dabai is lying in Bai Sheng's arms basking in the sun.

Bai Sheng didn't dare take it around, for fear that her bad luck would affect Dabai.

There is still no detailed explanation as to whether the evil spirit will bring bad luck, but Bai Sheng's life is indeed very unlucky. She doesn't know who her father is. Her mother became pregnant and gave birth to her after she came back from a trip to the sect. No matter who asked, her mother refused to say.

When she was eight years old, her mother joined several elders in the sect to fight against the evil cultivators, but her mother was the only one who was killed by the evil cultivators.

Her mother's last wish was to be buried in the peach blossom forest on Jijian Mountain, so Bai Sheng would often go to the peach blossom forest to see the flowers. No matter spring, summer, autumn or winter, she always liked to stay there.

Her mother used to be an elder of Jijian Mountain, so Jijian Mountain had always been very good to her. However, her peers always said some ridiculous things about her, saying that her bad luck had affected her mother, otherwise how could her mother be the only one who died in the suppression of the evil cultivators.

As the rumor spread for a long time, more and more people believed it. Bai Sheng herself often wondered, if it weren't for her unlucky body, would her mother not have died?

There is no answer to this question.

Bai Sheng has been alone these years. She would subconsciously reject everyone who wanted to get close to her, fearing that her "bad luck" would affect the other person. Only Mu Bingning was there, and she couldn't push her away no matter what, so they became good friends.

Mu Bingning didn't believe in bad luck. She wanted to prove with facts that being her friend would not bring her bad luck, so Bai Sheng was very grateful to Mu Bingning.

But Bai Sheng also remembered that Mu Bingning seemed to hate Jiang Li very much.

But what she was holding in her arms at this moment was Jiang Li's cat. The cat was curled up in her arms, basking in the sun lazily with her. No matter how she touched it, it would not resist. It was so well-behaved.

Bai Sheng prepared a lot of fresh fish for the cat. Now she knew why Dabai was so fat. Dabai had to eat a lot of fresh fish at a time. But Dabai was also very well behaved. Last night he took the initiative to climb onto her bed and snuggled into her arms to sleep.

If only she didn't have any bad luck at all, she would also like to have a cat like Dabai, who could snuggle in her arms and listen to her talking to herself.

"Dabai... Why did Senior Brother Jiang Li name you Dabai?"

Dabai meowed to indicate that he didn't know.

"Hey, Dabai is also a girl." Bai Sheng was a little surprised. Dabai meowed again, which roughly translated to "Indeed, indeed."

"Dabai, what kind of person do you think Senior Brother Jiang Li is?"

Dabai licked his paw lazily, but there was no meow this time.

"I heard from Senior Sister Bing Ning that he has been entangled with many of my senior sisters and junior sisters, and he likes to play with their hearts..."

"But, I heard from other sisters and junior sisters that Senior Brother Jiang Li is a very good person and is gentle and kind to everyone..."

"Dabai, what kind of person do you think he is?" Bai Sheng gently stroked Dabai's back. Dabai just meowed softly. Of course, it couldn't answer Bai Sheng.

Cats only know how to lick their paws and don’t know anything else.

Chapter 6: Chapter Trap

Three days later, at Jijian Mountain, Peach Blossom Forest.

The weather is cloudy with continuous drizzle.

The slanting rain soaked the grass, so there were fewer people coming to the peach blossom forest today, but Bai Sheng always liked to come to the peach blossom forest at this time, because there were no people around, she could sit quietly under the tree and stare blankly for a long time.

Today she came with Dabai in her arms, and when she arrived, Jiang Li was already sitting under the peach tree. There was even an extra table and two chairs under the tree.

Bai Sheng suddenly became alert again.

What is Senior Brother Jiang Li trying to do?

"You're here." Jiang Li turned and looked at Bai Sheng in front of him with a smile in his eyes.

Bai Sheng hugged Dabai and walked to his side, but Dabai hugged Bai Sheng's neck and refused to let go.

What! The dried fish your dad usually gives you is not enough, right?

"Dabai, come down." Bai Sheng said softly to Maomao, but Maomao still hugged Bai Sheng's neck and refused to come down. Jiang Li moved his gaze to Bai Sheng's arm. The white long skirt she was wearing today had its silk caught on her arm.

"Did Dabai do something bad?" Jiang Li asked with a smile.

Bai Sheng was slightly startled, and seemed a little curious, "Huh?"

"Every time it does something bad, it doesn't dare to come near me, for fear of being beaten by me." Jiang Li sighed helplessly, "Did it damage your clothes?"

Bai Sheng shook his head in panic, "It's okay, it will be fine after a little nourishment, Senior Brother Jiang Li, you don't have to beat it."

"If you don't beat a cat for making a mistake this time, it will make the same mistake again next time." Jiang Li looked up, "Being gentle to it will only make it worse."

It's not just cats, it's the same with humans.

Bai Sheng bit her lip lightly, but still tried to hold on, "It's really okay..."

"Did it damage your other skirts as well?" Jiang Li continued to ask.

Bai Sheng shook his head in panic, "No."

"I can see that you won't lie. Your eyes are wandering and you are at a loss. Just tell me how many skirts of yours it has ruined. If you tell me, I won't beat it." Jiang Li's words sounded quite serious, so they were very convincing.

Bai Sheng hesitated for a moment, then lowered his head and softened his voice, "It sneaked up last night, somehow got into the closet, and tore my skirt."

Jiang Li sighed, "I knew it."

"How many were broken?" Jiang Li asked.

"Three."

"How many skirts do you have?"

Bai Sheng hummed softly, as if Jiang Li's inquiring look was too oppressive, and she didn't dare to look into Jiang Li's eyes.

"That's what I told you. When Xiaobai was fostered with other senior sisters and junior sisters, she also damaged their skirts. I left in such a hurry that day that I forgot to remind you. It was my fault."

"No, it doesn't matter. Those skirts aren't worth much anyway."

"After all, it was me who asked you to foster Dabai for me, so it was naturally my fault that your skirt was damaged. But fortunately... my clothing-making skills are still okay." Jiang Li seemed to have come back to his senses from his previous sorrow in an instant, then took out a tape measure, his eyes bright and his smile overflowing.

"Junior Sister Bai Sheng, use this ruler to measure your waist, hips, chest, shoulder width, arm length, and leg length, and then tell me everything. I will make you another skirt as compensation."

Bai Sheng waved his hands in panic, "No, thanks."

"Do you want me to owe you a favor?" Jiang Li's tone rose a little, "I don't like the feeling of owing favors to others. It makes me unhappy."

Bai Sheng became even more hesitant after hearing what Jiang Li said. Jiang Li sighed softly, "It's a pity that I'm poor. If I had spirit stones, I would directly compensate Junior Sister Bai Sheng with them. But I'm really short of money. I hope Junior Sister Bai Sheng won't blame me."

...Now that things have come to this, I should probably agree to it, Jiang Li muttered secretly in his heart.

Bai Sheng hesitated for a long time and was unable to speak. Jiang Li's measuring tape was already in front of her. Finally, she took it. Then she looked at Jiang Li, her cheeks slightly reddened, "Senior Brother Jiang Li..."

"Ok?"

"You are not allowed to look."

"Oh, yes, I was rude." Jiang Li said and turned his head. Then Bai Sheng picked up the tape measure behind him and carefully measured the waist circumference, then the height, hip circumference, and when it came to the chest circumference, Bai Sheng looked at the numbers on the tape measure, but found it difficult to speak.

She remembered that some female disciples secretly said that she was a vixen, who puffed out her chest to seduce men all day long. But, she obviously didn't want to be like that. It was only after she met Mu Bingning that she gradually puffed out her chest and held her head high.

After taking all the measurements Jiang Li requested, Bai Sheng began to write down the various data of her body on a piece of white paper. Then, with a red face, she gently called out, "I'm fine, Senior Brother Jiang Li."

Jiang Li turned around, took the piece of white paper she handed over, and compared it carefully to make sure she had made any measurement errors. Looking at the numbers on it, Jiang Li secretly sighed in his heart.

It turns out that it's not just her bust, the girl's hips are also plump, not like a girl's, but they're hidden under her skirt and can't be seen.

Jiang Li quickly took out a picture album, and then asked Bai Sheng to sit down first, and handed the album to her, "Pick out a style you like, and I will send someone to deliver it to your house when it's ready."

Bai Sheng began to look at the picture album seriously, and Jiang Li made her a pot of peach blossom tea.

This is not just peach blossom tea, but peach blossom tea brewed together with many petals. It has a refreshing fragrance. The album in Bai Sheng's hand actually only has three styles of dresses.

Most women in this world wear a combination of tops and skirts. They don't wrap themselves up so tightly, and still leave some skin exposed. Depending on the style of the skirt, there are many choices for them.

The first page of the album contains various chest-length skirts, moon-shaped skirts, tulle skirts, and pleated skirts, which are more like the original skirts of this era, but the designs are particularly exquisite and beautiful.

The second page of the album contained various cheongsams. If Bai Sheng remembered correctly, she had seen other female monks wearing such cheongsams. They were all sold in the Qiyue Pavilion.

The dresses on the third page were a bit too much, including white or black lace suspender dresses, or one-shoulder evening gowns. Bai Sheng was dazzled by the sight. She hesitated for a long time, and finally chose a more decent moon-white tulle dress.

Everyone loves beauty. When practicing sword skills on weekdays, most female monks will wear Taoist robes, but when they have nothing to do, they will naturally dress up more beautifully.

Jiang Li just happened to push the tea in front of her and said, "Try it?"

From Bai Sheng's slightly happy expression after drinking the tea, Jiang Li knew that the scented tea he had researched three days ago was quite effective. Then he pointed at the dress that Bai Sheng pointed at, asked about some details, and closed the album. "I will send someone to deliver it to Junior Sister Bai Sheng's residence within three days. I wonder which cave does Junior Sister Bai Sheng live in?"

"Liuyun." Bai Sheng responded to the name of the cave softly.

Jiang Li memorized it silently, then moved closer and grabbed Dabai, who was still hugging Bai Sheng's neck, and held it in his arms. Dabai lay on the table and started to mess up.

Jiang Li was used to it. At this moment, Bai Sheng was holding the teacup and sipping it. Jiang Li took out a few tea bags and said, "If Junior Sister Bai Sheng likes it, these are not expensive things. Junior Sister Bai Sheng can make tea for herself during the day."

Bai Sheng was about to refuse, but Jiang Li had already pushed the tea bag in front of her, so Bai Sheng couldn't refuse anymore.

She's actually not very good at saying no.

"I've heard other sisters talk about Junior Sister Bai Sheng." Jiang Li suddenly spoke. Bai Sheng was called by his name, so she hurriedly raised her head and came back to her senses from her daze, but she didn't know what to say, so she just uttered a soft "Eh?"

"They said that Junior Sister Bai Sheng was born with the body of Evil. I was interested in this at the time, so I looked up a lot of information. Finally, I looked through all the ancient books of Xuantian Dao Ji Zong, but I didn't see any ancient book that clearly recorded that the body of Evil would really bring misfortune to the people around them."

Bai Sheng always felt that Jiang Li's tone was very familiar, just like Mu Bingning who spoke up for her.

"They...all say that."

"Women are jealous creatures. They are jealous of Junior Sister Bai Sheng's good looks and sword skills, so they naturally huddle together to keep each other warm and say some bad things about Junior Sister Bai Sheng."

Bai Sheng bit her lip lightly and looked up at him, "Brother Jiang Li, do you think so too?"

"I have never believed in fate. Fate is something that should be in our own hands. As for luck, it is mysterious in itself. As long as we are strong enough, there will be no obstacles."

What Jiang Li was talking about at this moment was Bai Sheng's swordsmanship.

This is also the reason why she has been practicing sword so hard for so many years.

Bai Sheng's heart was slightly touched, and her hands nervously grabbed the hem of her skirt under the table. Her uneasiness came from her heartbeat. She had never felt such a frantic heartbeat before. At this moment, Jiang Li's eyes fell on her face, but she didn't dare to look up.

"I found something interesting. Junior Sister Bai Sheng always seems to be afraid to look up at me."

"Yes..." Bai Sheng's voice was a little weak.

"Only someone with a guilty conscience would not dare to look me in the eye. Could it be that Junior Sister Bai Sheng fell in love with me because I am so handsome?" Jiang Li shook his head again, "That won't do. Senior Brother is not a good person. He is not interested in a soft-hearted person like Junior Sister Bai Sheng."

Bai Sheng raised his head and answered immediately, "No!"

Jiang Li held his chin with both hands and moved closer, "Then Junior Sister Bai Sheng, stare into my eyes for more than fifteen seconds, and I will believe that Junior Sister Bai Sheng has nothing to hide."

Bai Sheng straightened her back and began to look Jiang Li in the eye seriously. During this time, Jiang Li's eyes were always smiling, but Bai Sheng was a little nervous. Her heartbeat became faster and faster. Feeling his gaze on her face, her breathing gradually became rapid.
