Why do you always want to be my Taoist partner?

"I, I'll clean up by myself." Bai Sheng hurriedly pushed Jiang Li away, but this time she was too weak, so Jiang Li grabbed her wrist. Then she lay on the bed obediently, waiting for Jiang Li to take off her socks for her and wipe her body patiently and carefully.

Jiang Li looked into her eyes. Her pupils became a little hazy, her cheeks were burning, and her fingers were gently grasping the hem of her skirt. She was motionless, as if she was frozen by a magic he had cast on her.

It was clear that she had always been shy and timid, but she would still muster up the courage when in his presence.

Jiang Li stopped teasing Bai Sheng. He lay down beside the pillow, but found something under it. Curious, he pulled out the thing from under the pillow, and it was a book.

Bai Sheng had buried her face in the pillow, ashamed to see anyone, but Jiang Li was flipping through the book at this moment, and his eyes became particularly playful.

The book recorded some interesting boudoir love affairs, not just some postures, but also various strange ways of playing. Even the knowledgeable Jiang Xiaoli was amazed. He flipped through the book, marveling at it until Bai Sheng slowly turned her head and opened her eyes because she didn't hear his voice, then rushed over to grab the book from his hand.

Jiang Li hugged the book tightly, and then Bai Sheng threw herself on him, her face full of shame, anger and anxiety, "Give it back to me!"

It was rare to see her in such a state of social despair, so Jiang Li certainly wasn't willing to let her go easily.

Jiang Li rubbed Bai Sheng's face and said, "How about we watch it together?"

Bai Sheng was so anxious that tears were about to fall out. She hurriedly replied, "No."

Jiang Li wanted to tease her some more, but he felt that Bai Sheng would really cry soon, so he returned the book to her. Bai Sheng hurriedly put the book away, and she buried her face in the quilt again, saying, "Senior Brother Jiang Li, don't talk to me."

Jiang Li leaned close to her ear and kissed her again.

"Junior Sister Bai Sheng is so cute."

yard.

Jiang Li finally coaxed Bai Sheng to get up, but Bai Sheng still covered her face. She was clearly not so ashamed when she was doing the naughty things just now, but the book she was secretly reading was seen by Jiang Li, and she was so embarrassed that she couldn't raise her head for a long time.

Fortunately, Jiang Li finally didn't talk about the book at this moment, but started eating the rose cake on the table. He picked up a piece and put it to Bai Sheng's lips. Bai Sheng finally raised his head and took a light bite.

After eating, Jiang Li stayed with Bai Sheng for a long time, until the sun was about to set. Jiang Li stood up and prepared to go back to the bamboo building. He took advantage of Bai Sheng's inattention and kissed her on the cheek. Bai Sheng hit him with her little fist, but she also came closer and kissed him on the face.

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

Jiang Li returned to the bamboo building and came to the door of his room. He pushed it open and saw Jiang Chuyue staring at him straight. There was no emptiness in her dark eyes, but a bit of disgust, and her face was full of gnashing teeth.

"What?" Jiang Li looked at her in confusion.

"You know it clearly!"

"Huh?" Jiang Li raised his head and gave her an innocent look. He had no idea what Jiang Chuyue was suddenly up to, so he simply didn't bother to pay attention to her. He walked to the bed and sat down, starting to fiddle with the potted plant on his desk.

Silence is the greatest contempt.

Jiang Chuyue gritted her teeth and finally said in a questioning tone, "I saw the booklet in your cabinet!"

Jiang Li was stunned for a moment, then glanced at her sideways, "You're rummaging through my things without my permission, and you think you're right?"

"If I hadn't seen it, I wouldn't have known you were such a... bastard!"

Jiang Li was amused. He reached out and touched Jiang Chuyue's forehead, thinking, "The brain is not burned."

Jiang Chuyue was stunned.

Jiang Li pointed at his face again, "This is your first day meeting me?"

Jiang Li laughed happily, "Why, do you think I'm a gentleman, or a fool? Sorry, I'm neither." Jiang Li's hand gently stroked Jiang Chuyue's face, and his voice was lowered a bit, "There are only thirty or so on the booklet you saw, but in fact, I already got the other one hundred, but I got tired of playing with them, so I threw them away."

There was a sense of complacency in his tone, and he seemed to have no intention of concealing his meanness.

...Jiang Li always had the illusion that Jiang Chuyue would fall in love with him, so he thought he could be a little more excessive. Even though Jiang Chuyue might be interested in a man who could rebel with her, she could still distinguish between the simplest good and evil.

Jiang Chuyue bit her lip and stared at him, with a hint of disappointment gradually appearing in her eyes.

"You...are not like that."

Jiang Li's eyes widened. "Come on, how long have you known me and you think I'm a good person?"

Jiang Chuyue couldn't refute Jiang Li's words.

These years, she often had to stay in the yard. Although her brother took care of her, he also needed to practice swordplay and drawing formations, so she was always in a daze alone, and liked to think a lot by herself. The more she thought, the more delicate and sensitive her mind became. She always felt that Jiang Li, who seemed to be sloppy in front of her, looked like a bastard, but he was a good person at heart.

She couldn't explain why she had such an intuition.

Jiang Chuyue couldn't think of an answer no matter how hard she tried. Maybe it was because of his eyes? He was clearly taking advantage of her under the pretext of healing her wounds, but Jiang Chuyue always felt that there was no desire in his eyes. He just wanted to see her embarrassed and angry, and it was fun. But if she was really too embarrassed and angry, he would stop immediately.

Jiang Li looked at Jiang Chuyue in front of him with a smile. Jiang Chuyue stopped talking. After a few seconds, she turned her face away and said, "I shouldn't have expected anything from you."

This sentence should have been the end of this little farce, but when she came to her senses, she found that Jiang Li in front of her suddenly became very gloomy.

It was a gloominess that she had never seen before, not even Bai Sheng, Jiang Jinbie, or Yue Ji had seen it.

"Do I want you to have any expectations of me?" Jiang Li walked step by step to Jiang Chuyue in front of him, staring into her eyes, "Do I want you to give it to me?!"

His voice suddenly frightened Jiang Chuyue. Her shoulders trembled slightly, but she was unwilling to admit defeat. "You have done so many shameful things yourself, and you don't want people to say a few words?"

Jiang Li looked down at her condescendingly.

If Yue Ji was here, she would probably be very interested in this scene, because she has known Jiang Li for so many years and she has rarely seen Jiang Li angry.

Because he had nothing in the past, Jiang Li had very low requirements for many things, including interpersonal relationships. He was a person with a particularly good temper. Qian Tingsheng had provoked him several times, and even wanted to draw his sword to kill him in the end, but he had never really gotten angry. But at this moment, his face became so gloomy, as if there were fireworks burning.

Jiang Li stretched out his hand, picked up Jiang Chuyue in front of him, and then laid her flat on the bed. Jiang Chuyue was naturally unable to struggle. Jiang Li grabbed her ankles and lifted her calves. He lifted her legs until they formed a right angle with her waist, but he kept lifting them up until her knees were pressed to her shoulders. His voice was very cold, "Hold on."

Jiang Chuyue's proud nature had already surged up, but looking at Jiang Li's cold eyes at this moment, she didn't have the courage to speak. She stretched out her hands and hugged her legs. This action was particularly shameful. Her skirt fell down, so she hugged her legs with one hand and covered her snow-white buttocks with the other hand. She didn't want Jiang Li to see her underwear under her skirt, but Jiang Li himself never cared about this matter.

She didn't know what Jiang Li was going to do. Panic gradually overwhelmed her. She remembered the slave seal that Jiang Li had mentioned to her that day. Jiang Li was currently practicing some magic formula. She asked tremblingly, "What... are you going to do?"

Jiang Li didn't say anything. After a moment, a translucent silver needle appeared on his fingertips. Without hesitation, he inserted the silver needle into the sole of Jiang Chuyue's foot. Then he pinched out another silver needle and inserted it into her body again.

Jiang Chuyue's eyes turned red. She could clearly feel the pain and cried tremblingly, "What...what...are you doing?"

Jiang Li still didn't say anything. Without saying a word, he took out twelve silver needles and pierced them into her soles, calves, ankles, and thighs one by one. He even roughly spread her thighs apart and inserted the silver needles into the inside of her thighs. These silver needles melted instantly after being inserted. All Jiang Chuyue could feel was the pain deep in her bone marrow.

She was in so much pain that she kept crying and cursing Jiang Li, but Jiang Li remained silent until he finished inserting the last silver needle. He raised his head and gave her a cold look, "Pack your things and go back to your Dark Moon Blood Demon Sect."

After saying this, Jiang Li turned around and walked out the door.

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

Jiang Chuyue stared blankly at Jiang Li's back as he left. She had no idea what Jiang Li meant. But when she tried to lift her legs gently, she suddenly realized that her legs, which had been numb before, now had strength. She tried to move her legs slowly, came to the bed, and stepped on the ground.

She tried to take the first step, although she soon fell to the ground because she was not used to it. But she tried hard to get up from the ground, stood up again, and tried to take the first step, the second step, and finally she was able to reach the door. Her leg injury had healed, and the sword mark that enveloped her had been completely broken by the twelve silver needles that Jiang Li had pinched out.

To be precise, that was not a silver needle, it was something that took shape from the sword force. Jiang Li originally didn't want to do this because it would consume too much of his soul. He would have a headache for a while, and his body would be weaker. But he felt that if he didn't send Jiang Chuyue away now, he felt that he would be even more tortured.

In fact, Jiang Chuyue did nothing wrong, he just got stressed out when he heard that sentence.

You thought you had forgotten everything, but a word or a scene suddenly triggered all your memories, and then all the memories came flooding back like a tide, covering you from head to toe.

Jiang Li went to the edge of the bamboo forest and sat down leaning against a bamboo. He hugged his knees, curled up his body, and looked up at the gloomy sky.

Although his head was buzzing with pain, it was not particularly uncomfortable. Pain was better than having wild thoughts. But Jiang Li found that he still could not control his wild thoughts.

He once thought that this life would be a brand new beginning, and he would never suffer from the past again. The past was over and could not be recalled. But gradually he realized that he was actually still living in the past.

Every time he wanted to take another step forward, it seemed as if the shadow of the past would chatter in front of him and talk to him non-stop.

Jiang Li looked at the darkness in front of him. He just kept staring straight ahead. His pupils gradually became dilated, and his vision became more and more hazy, as if covered by a layer of fog. In a trance, he seemed to hear those words again.

"Jiang Li, I shouldn't have expected anything from you."

Why didn't she realize it at the time? Why didn't she realize that her life was about to fall apart? Why didn't she realize that he was her only support?

You are shopping with a girl when she needs company the most; you are drinking with other girls when she is crying late at night; you are coaxing the girl in your arms to sleep when she can’t sleep until seven in the morning.

The last time you met her, you found all those bottles and jars used to control her illness in the rental house. You obviously claimed to be a careful person, and when you were pursuing a girl, you tried hard to pay attention to every detail, but you didn't realize that she was seriously ill. Was it because she hid it too well? Or did you care too little about her?

Obviously, all these things have passed, so why do you still live in the past? Being stuck in the past, tangled and thinking over and over again, hesitant and unable to move forward, because of this you make the people around you also suffer with you.

Jiang Li lowered his head and looked at the open space in front of him. He didn't know when the moon had risen, and frost covered the ground.

Chapter 110: Chapter A Lesson for You

Jiang Li always makes excuses for himself when recalling these things.

If she had understood his hints and stayed away from him, what would the future have been like? He had never concealed his mean and greedy side in front of her, so why did she still love him?

But when you think about it, it was he who took the initiative to be together, but in the end he still failed to be absolutely loyal.

But I made her laugh at that time, didn't I? I made her happy, didn't I? Her illness wasn't caused by herself, right? He said this to comfort himself, but he felt that these reasons to deceive himself were too far-fetched.

He sat quietly in the bamboo forest for a long time until he heard footsteps. He looked at Jiang Chuyue who was slowly walking towards him. Jiang Chuyue walked very slowly, and even fell twice in Jiang Li's sight. But every time she fell, she would stand up again and continue to stumble forward. Finally, she walked in front of Jiang Li, and her white dress was stained with traces of dirt and grass.

"I... said something that made you angry."

"sorry."

The proud little swan lowered its head, biting its lips lightly. Its voice was serious, yet a little timid.

Jiang Li shook his head. "It's not your problem, it's my own problem. When you get used to walking, take the spirit boat back."

His expression relaxed a lot, no longer as gloomy as before. Jiang Chuyue nodded softly. Now that her injuries had been healed, there was no reason for her to stay any longer.

She just stood there, the moonlight fell behind her, the bamboo shadows swayed, her petite body looked a little thin in the wind, the wind blew her skirt, revealing a section of her slender calves as soft as jade under the skirt.

"Are you... very sad?" she suddenly asked in a low voice.

Jiang Li raised his head and looked at her, his eyes met Jiang Chuyue's. After a few seconds, he slowly spoke.

"As you can see, I have always been a very selfish person."

After saying this, he was silent for a while, and then slowly spoke, "Because no one has ever taught me to learn to share, to be generous, to take care of other people's emotions, and to be a good person."

"Because of this, I have always lived in my own world, centered on my own emotions. As long as I am happy, I will not feel any guilt if I do anything bad."

This is exactly the truth. You cannot ask someone whose life is extremely difficult to be a good person. A person with a truly gentle and polite character has been surrounded by such an environment since childhood and has been influenced by it. Since he has nothing to lack, he naturally does not have to worry, panic, or ask for anything.

But Jiang Li had met someone who was completely opposite to him. She was like that in her previous life. She couldn't even take care of herself, but she was gentle and trying to please everyone. As a result, she was ordered around and made herself exhausted. Because she was submissive to everyone, she never had any real good friends. Instead, she was more like a tool. She was not good at refusing other people's requests and was afraid of rejection.

But did she do anything wrong? She did nothing wrong. She just kept releasing her kindness and trying to please others to gain a sense of security. But in the end, she was tortured to the point of collapse by the lifestyle she chose.

At the end of her breakdown, she thought about death, or perhaps all her emotions came together and she thought about taking revenge on him.

Jiang Li still can't figure out whether she hates him or not, but he doesn't hate her. Everything is his own fault and he deserves it. But a rotten guy like him can still live a good life.

What an irony.

Because of this, this is your retribution. Whenever you want to love someone, you will think of her, you will think of the time when you broke your promise, you will think of your guilt, your regret, and your self-blame. You will be trapped in this vortex forever, unable to struggle or escape.

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

Jiang Chuyue in front of him had some confusion in her eyes. She hesitated and came to Jiang Li's side and sat down against the bamboo. She raised her head and looked at the stars and the moon in the sky. She didn't say anything and enjoyed the evening breeze with Jiang Li.

"I always feel that you are a good person." Jiang Chuyue whispered, "Maybe there are many things I don't know."

Jiang Li reached out and patted her head, "Thank you."

Jiang Chuyue covered her head and looked at his profile with resentment. Jiang Li seemed to have become his heartless self again. He explained to Jiang Chuyue, "I didn't use the method I used just now to heal your injury because it would make me more tired and my head would hurt more."

Jiang Chuyue nodded softly.

"It's definitely not because I want to take advantage of you." Jiang Li said in a serious tone.

The forest suddenly became very quiet. After several seconds, Jiang Chuyue lowered her head and whispered, "Actually... it doesn't matter."

"Well, my head still hurts now. Can you make it up to me?"

"How...how do we do it?"

Jiang Li turned his head and moved closer to Jiang Chuyue. The girl's fair and tender skin seemed as delicate as a baby's, and there was a bit of confusion on her face. At this moment, the two of them looked at each other at an ambiguous distance, and Jiang Chuyue's cheeks suddenly turned red.

She could hear her heartbeat in the wind, her fingers unconsciously clenched the hem of her skirt. She looked at Jiang Li's playful smile in front of her, but she seemed to see the shadow of a lonely puppy in the depths of his eyes.

Then she suddenly wanted to reach out and hug the puppy.

She never thought that one day she would take the initiative to move closer to a man and want to kiss him. She gradually straightened her waist and moved her pink lips closer, so close that she could feel his breath on her cheek. The touch was so light, but she felt her cheek numb.

At the moment when he was about to touch her, Jiang Li reached out his hand without hesitation and pushed her away.

He was well prepared.

Jiang Chuyue was pushed like this. She stared at Jiang Li's face blankly. Jiang Li stood up and suddenly smiled.
