Why do you always want to be my Taoist partner?

"I picked one before, but I didn't keep it for long. Finally, on the day I comprehended the sword power, it accidentally died."

What do you mean it died accidentally? Didn't you kill it accidentally?

"This flower is of the highest quality. It should be able to resist the sword force released by the sect master. It was not easy to pick this flower in the first place. I hope the sect master can be more careful this time and not let it die again." Jiang Li said seriously.

"If I really kill something you gave away with your own hands, will you be angry?"

"I'm not angry, I just feel it's a pity." Jiang Li put the flower away and retreated to a place not far from Mu Xuezhi. Then he took out the easel and stared at Mu Xuezhi in front of him seriously.

Mu Xuezhi's eyes gradually became lazy again, as if she was a noble lady who had just woken up from a nap. Her whole body exuded the aura of a delicate and lazy cat.

"You went to the library yesterday?" Mu Xuezhi suddenly asked.

"Yes."

The two of them suddenly fell silent. As the silence went on, a light rain began to fall from the gloomy sky. Finally, Jiang Li spoke under Mu Xuezhi's scrutiny, "I went to look through some history books about the past of the Sect Master, hoping to learn more about him, but unfortunately, there are only a few records in the history books."

"Feeling bored?"

"is a bit."

"So what do you want to know?"

"I want to know some of the things that the sect master has found interesting over the past thousands of years." Jiang Li replied gently.

Mu Xuezhi suddenly laughed.

Jiang Li noticed that she didn't smile much, especially a smile that truly came from the heart, but Mu Xuezhi in front of him was indeed smiling. She seemed to have recalled some memories, and seemed to be mocking Jiang Li's ignorance.

"What I have seen with my own eyes, even if I tell you, you can hardly imagine the scene."

"I have seen the snow lotuses growing on the peaks of the Eastern Region. They bloom in a glacier. Every time a snowflake falls on the snow lotuses, it creates star-like ripples."

"I have seen the soul-guiding fish in the Styx in the Northern Territory. They migrate every hundred years. When the soul-guiding fish swim at night, they emit a faint blue light. The mighty light in the Styx is so dazzling that people can't take their eyes away."

"I have seen the glow of the sky in the southern region in the middle of the night. It was absolutely beautiful and ethereal, just like the skirt of a real immortal from heaven."

"I have seen many beautiful and ugly things in this world. I have seen many people get together and many people leave. I have seen those conspiracies and calculations, and I have also seen many awe-inspiring righteousness. The more I see, the less I feel in my heart."

"I have spent half of my life traveling in the Canglan Territory. Eventually, I got tired of it, so I started practicing again. In the past, I wanted to practice to break the barrier between heaven and earth and go to the sky to see what the scenery was like over there. But as time went by and the sun and moon changed, my curiosity gradually faded, so I stayed in Xuantian Daoji Sect and became the sect master of Xuantian Daoji Sect."

Mu Xuezhi finished her words, but Jiang Li did not start writing on the drawing board. He looked at Mu Xuezhi in front of him. There seemed to be a smile on the corner of her lips, but for some reason, Jiang Li seemed to read a bit of bitterness from her smile.

Why was she bitter? Hadn't she already been able to prove herself and cut off all attachments?

Jiang Li thought so, but he didn't ask. He just said, "Just from what the Sect Master said, I think these are very interesting scenes. If I have the chance, I want to go and see them one by one."

Mu Xuezhi nodded slightly.

"The dress that the Sect Master is wearing today is really beautiful."

"This is a dress that was popular in the Northern Territory many years ago. The women in the Northern Territory dress boldly and have hot and passionate personalities. The men are all burly, but unfortunately they are all barbarians and behave rather rudely."

Jiang Li finally began to sketch on the drawing paper, but the rain was still falling. He soon finished the painting, but unfortunately the ink in some places was stained by raindrops. Jiang Li came to Mu Xuezhi with the painting.

Mu Xuezhi looked at the woman in the painting seriously. Jiang Li had painted her when she was lazily crossing her legs. The woman in the painting had a bit of charm in her eyes. She couldn't help laughing, "You don't hide your desire."

"I like it because I like it. I think the Sect Master's previous appearance was very beautiful, so I drew it like this. After all, no one has stipulated that the Sect Master must be noble and elegant, and not care about worldly things, right?"

Jiang Li spoke gently, and Mu Xuezhi also smiled gently, "You didn't make me dislike you today."

"Because I couldn't figure out what the Sect Master was thinking, I was so timid in front of him, afraid of disturbing him and making him unhappy. But after listening to the Sect Master's story about the past, I seem to understand him better."

"Ok?"

"It's very interesting to see the scenery by yourself. There are not many interesting things in this world, and not everyone has the courage to do it. I also wanted to be someone like the Sect Master who is not afraid of loneliness, but I failed to do it. Perhaps this is why I admire the Sect Master."

"Today's painting has some flaws. I want to keep it. I will paint another one for the master tomorrow."

"The martial arts competition for Bingning's hand in marriage is about to begin. Instead of preparing properly, you come to disturb my peace all day long?"

"Of course I am fully confident. If the Sect Master finds me annoying, I will just not come."

"Then don't come." Mu Xuezhi turned around and glanced at him lightly.

"Okay." Jiang Li nodded gently. He put away the painting and looked at the flowers he brought. "I picked this snow raft with great difficulty. I hope the sect master can take care of it and not let it wither like the other flowers before."

"After reading so many history books, you should know that I have always been indifferent and cold." Mu Xuezhi's voice gradually became a little cold, which was in subtle contrast with her enchanting dress.

"Leng Bing is good to me, Hua is right."

"Do you think I'm only treating you like this? I'm like this to everyone." Mu Xuezhi sneered.

Jiang Li saw the sneer on her face. He was also smiling, but he didn't show it on his face. In fact, he was very happy in his heart.

No matter whether she hated herself or not, as long as she had the slightest emotional fluctuation, she would no longer be the pure Mu Xuezhi in front of Jiang Li. Jiang Li nodded silently, but his face looked a little surprised and lost.

"Disciple understands. I will take my leave first."

After he said this, he turned and left Mu Xuezhi's courtyard. It started to rain heavily on the way down the mountain. He looked at the rain in front of him without an umbrella. The sound of rain was chaotic. He recalled Mu Xuezhi's previous sneer and the sentence she emphasized, that she was like this to everyone. He suddenly felt so bored.

After a long while, he suddenly said something to himself.

"boring."

He wanted to see the gods in heaven shed tears, but when the gods actually lifted a little of her veil, he suddenly felt particularly bored.

ps: Make up for the chapter I owed yesterday.

Chapter 116: Arrival of Chapter

The rain lasted for several days.

Of course, Jiang Li did not go to see Mu Xuezhi for a few days as promised. It is not a rational behavior to get close to a woman when she is tired of you. It is especially important to know the limits. It is not terrible to be a bootlicker. It is not shameful to abandon all routines and become a pure puppy just because you like someone. However, if someone really treats you as a puppy to be ordered around by the other person, it would be too pitiful.

You must first love yourself before you can learn to be loved. This is an eternal truth.

Jiang Li seldom went out these days. He only went out to see Bai Sheng. They watched the rain under the eaves for an entire afternoon and chatted for a very long time. The things they talked about were very trivial. Sometimes they were still talking about one thing in the last second, and the next second they were talking about something else.

Tomorrow evening is Mu Bingning's martial arts competition to find a husband, but Jiang Li hasn't even seen Mu Bingning during this period of time. There is a lot of discussion about this matter in the sect. After all, that is Mu Bingning, one of the two fairies of Xuantian Dao Ji Sect and the only successor of Mu Xuezhi. What will it mean if he marries her?

Many people knew this, but they also knew the inside story of this martial arts competition. It was definitely not something that ordinary disciples could participate in. If someone with low cultivation went on stage, they would only be ridiculed for being overestimating their own abilities and dreaming.

The rain brought a sudden cold wave, and Jiang Li suddenly came to his senses. It turned out that summer had arrived without him noticing. However, the weather in Zhongzhou was very strange and always unpredictable. It was often cold in the past two days, and Jiang Chuyue would hug him tightly at night.

Yes, Jiang Li has been sleeping with Jiang Chuyue these days.

He didn't hide anything because he was always heartless. Jiang Chuyue would go back eventually, so what if he gave her the warmth she wanted before she left?

These past few days he had been trying various ways to make delicious food for Jiang Chuyue. Jiang Chuyue had eaten up a lot of his food, which he had prepared earlier for later. Jiang Li sometimes felt reluctant to do so, but after hearing Jiang Chuyue's simple compliments he felt it was worth it. Although it was just a few words in the end, this seemed to be the meaning of cooking.

He wanted to learn how to cook simply because he wanted someone to eat with him in the house.

The two of them were under the eaves at the moment. Jiang Li took out a copper pot for a mandarin duck hot pot and prepared the ingredients early. Although it was raining heavily in the yard, the two of them were eating hot pot very happily. Jiang Li was teaching Jiang Chuyue how to cook tripe. The ups and downs were just right, and it was crispy and slightly sweet.

Jiang Chuyue's face turned red from the spicy hot pot, but she still couldn't put down her chopsticks. Jiang Li was full quickly. He looked at the heavy rain in the yard and thought that it was raining heavily today.

Jiang Chuyue was eating the ingredients next to her by herself until she had eaten them all. Jiang Li would throw them away if she didn't finish them all anyway. She thought these things were very delicious and it would be a pity to waste them.

Because she won’t be able to eat it next time.

There are many things in life that you will never get the next time if you miss them, so Jiang Chuyue cherishes them very much. She and Jiang Li looked at the rainstorm together. The sound of rain in their ears was chaotic, but it made people feel at ease when it fell into their ears.

"Come." Jiang Li patted his legs gently.

Jiang Chuyue hesitated for a moment, stood up, then sat on his lap, her head leaning back naturally. Jiang Li gently put his arms around her waist and held her in his arms.

Perhaps Jiang Chuyue and he are both people who cannot resist being hugged.

Jiang Li sniffed the light fragrance on her body, rested his chin on her shoulder, and watched the heavy rain with her. He remembered that he had promised Jiang Chuyue some time ago that even if the martial arts competition was over, he would let her stay here for a while.

"Seven or eight days after the competition is over, I will go down the mountain."

Jiang Chuyue nodded gently, "Yeah."

After a moment, she whispered again, "That's enough."

Jiang Li looked at her profile and asked softly, "Does your brother know all this?"

Jiang Chuyue shook her head, "Don't tell him."

Jiang Li nodded and gently held Jiang Chuyue in his arms.

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

late at night.

It was inexplicably cold tonight, but fortunately the room was still warm. Jiang Chuyue and Jiang Li huddled in the same quilt. Jiang Chuyue leaned her cheek against his chest. She didn't look at Jiang Li, but whispered, "It seems that the more familiar I am with you, the less I understand you."

"Ok?"

"You are such a weird person." Jiang Chuyue said, she slowly raised her head, "After sleeping with me for so many nights, have you ever thought about doing something to me?"

"Actually, I have thought about it." Jiang Li lowered his head and looked at her porcelain-white face.

Although he was not particularly interested in Jiang Chuyue, when Jiang Chuyue was wearing a thin nightgown and snuggled in his arms, some evil thoughts would occasionally come to his mind, such as holding her in his arms and bullying her hard, or coaxing her to sit on him and twist her waist. She would definitely be cautious and her breathing would be particularly sweet.

But fortunately, these thoughts will be quickly dispelled.

Sometimes he really doesn't want to sleep with that person, he just wants to be cold to the other person after sleeping with them, and then make the other person completely resent him and stay away from him. In his previous life, there was a woman whose name Jiang Li couldn't remember, who pointed at his nose and scolded him, saying that all his so-called pain was his own fault, and that he just took pleasure in establishing an intimate relationship and then actively destroying it. He was sick and twisted, a bastard, and a beast, but Jiang Li nodded and accepted all of them because he was such a sick person.

Jiang Chuyue looked up, "Then why don't you do it?"

Jiang Li lowered his head, "Can I do it?"

The room suddenly became very quiet, with only the sound of rain outside the window. Time seemed to have passed for a century. Jiang Li heard her very soft response, "Yeah."

Jiang Li suddenly became distracted.

He used to be very curious about a topic: How long does it take for a person to fall in love with someone? A month? Two months? A week? Three days? Or an hour?

He had done many experiments for this purpose and had tried his best. The shortest time he had spent was two hours. He talked to a drunk woman on a park bench for two hours, and then she suddenly said that she fell in love with him.

But later Jiang Li gave up pursuing this question because it was meaningless. Love can be established at any time and can also collapse at any time. There has never been love without reason in this world. One must maintain attraction to each other for a long time.

Jiang Li looked down at Jiang Chuyue in front of him. She had closed her eyes and her eyelashes were trembling. She had taken a good bath tonight and her body still smelled of the fresh fragrance of flower petals. No wonder Jiang Li didn't see the traces of her underwear that should have been faintly visible under her nightgown. He listened to the breathing of the two people and lowered his head to kiss her forehead gently.

"Just kidding, go to sleep."

Jiang Chuyue was not disappointed. She moved her body obediently and then lay completely in Jiang Li's arms. Jiang Li hugged her slender body and closed his eyes. At this moment, a ding sound came from his ears.

"The ability has been copied through hug: Draw Array."

"Since the host's array drawing skills are already top-notch, the stolen abilities will be converted into experience points and sent to the host's backpack in the form of experience scrolls. Please check them carefully."

Jiang Li never thought it would come so easily.

She was clearly a saint of the Dark Moon Blood Demon Sect with a distinguished status, and she clearly had a brother who cared for her in every possible way, but she was still so lacking in love, so fragile and weak, and was so easily deceived.

Maybe she didn't love him that much, but because she knew that she didn't have much time left, so before that, she mistook the little tenderness and beauty she felt as love.

Jiang Li didn't touch her because he was afraid that one day he would receive the news of Jiang Chuyue's death. He would be sad for a long time then. After all, it was just a one-night stand. Sometimes you won't regret it or feel guilty if you don't do it. Anyway, he didn't owe Jiang Chuyue anything at the moment.

He thought about it for a long time, until he fell asleep. When he woke up the next morning, he heard shouting from downstairs of his bamboo house.

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

Jiang Chuyue was still rubbing her eyes in a daze, but at this moment Jiang Li suddenly had a bad premonition. His intuition had always been accurate, so he sat up from the bed, walked to the door, opened it and looked under the bamboo building.

Under the bamboo building were Ye Guixu in a gorgeous black suit and Ye Linglong in a black skirt.

The looks of these two siblings were particularly outstanding. The rain outside had stopped and the air was moist, but the sky was still a little gloomy. Jiang Li greeted them.

"Brother Ye, Sister Linglong, long time no see."

"Long time no see." Ye Guixu smiled at Jiang Li, and Ye Linglong beside him looked at Jiang Li with a playful look and asked, "Brother Jiang Li, how is the matter I asked you for?"

"The Sect Master has allowed you to participate." Jiang Li replied lazily, then yawned, "Wait for me to clean up, and I'll come downstairs to see you later."

He returned to the room as if nothing had happened, but he became sneaky the next second. Jiang Chuyue was still lying on his bed, dazed. Jiang Li came to her side and said, "Hurry up and get dressed. The brother and sister Ye Guixu and Ye Linglong are downstairs."

Jiang Chuyue panicked for a moment and responded softly, then she began to put on her dress carefully, but before putting on the dress, she had to take off her dress and put on her underwear. Jiang Li changed his clothes and stood by the door without looking back. He stared at her for a long time before he heard Jiang Chuyue say, "Okay."

She sat in her wheelchair and Jiang Li pushed her out of the bamboo building.

Ye Guixu had just wanted to reminisce about the past with Jiang Li and have a chat or something, but the moment he saw Jiang Li pushing Jiang Chuyue out, his eyes widened. Ye Linglong beside him also looked at the two people in the bamboo building with a particularly strange look.

Jiang Chuyue's eyes fell on the two siblings of the Ye family. In fact, she had never spoken a few words to Ye Guixu, and they had only met once. However, she knew that Ye Guixu had been severely beaten by her brother because he wanted to propose to her.

"She, why is she here with you?" Ye Guixu looked at Jiang Li, his voice a little stuttering.
