Wuchu

In the void, Zhu Fengdan waved her hand heartily.

The grand masters watched as various delicacies floated in from the void. These were rare and precious foods even for a third-rank cultivator, and they were prepared with extreme care.

Penglai Immortal Tea, Duling Fine Wine.

Fragrant wild rice and fine millet, sunflowers nourished by frost and dew.

Black bear with white skin, plump and thick flesh.

A cut as thin as a cicada's wing, a mountain quail swatting a sparrow.

Precious pearls and jade, and succulent livestock.

It is fragrant with ginger and pepper, and adorned with osmanthus and orchid.

I pluck the turtle nesting in the fragrant lotus, slice the flying fish of the Western Sea, stew the crocodile hiding in the Eastern Abyss, and cook the quail singing in the South of the Han River.

There wasn't much food, just enough for four people, but everything was top-quality.

Li Qi assumed that his teacher, like him, had gone off to Human Fire, wielding a knife.

But in reality, Zhu Fengdan was hosting a dinner party.

After all, no matter what...

What good is being able to fight when you're out in the game?

No matter how skilled Zhu Fengdan is, can she defeat three powerful sect leaders responsible for guarding the gates of Wushen Mountain?

These are not incompetent officials; they are three truly seasoned and battle-hardened pillars appointed by the sorcerers to guard the mountain gate.

Therefore, fighting is out of the question, otherwise I would definitely be pinned to the ground and beaten by three people working together.

Moreover, after the fight, when Ranked Shaman returns, he might be punished by being sent to guard the gate of Guixu.

How could Zhu Fengdan do such a thing?

Then we'll have to find another way.

However, Zhu Fengdan is Shaman.

It's unclear what Zhu Fengdan said to them, but they tacitly approved of Li Qi's actions, neither continuing to obstruct him nor informing the Ranked Shaman and the Witch Gods.

He had only mentioned the matter of personal favors when a high-ranking official said, "Your disciple is indeed exactly like you."

Zhu Fengdan burst into laughter. "Hahaha! Just two days ago, someone said he doesn't look like me at all."

The businessman shook his head and said with a sigh, "Is there really someone who says that? Then he must not know you well."

"After all, he looks nothing like you now, but he was exactly the same as you when you were at the eighth rank..."

Another major shareholder immediately chimed in. "Yes, back then you were a steady and composed young man, yet full of spirit. You were kind to everyone and always put the public good first. It's a pity about now..."

These three great masters all knew about Zhu Fengdan's past Dao Path in Daoism.

Those who possess great virtue should set aside personal feelings and submit to justice.

"Public-mindedness" was the belief he held at that time, and how similar it was to Li Qi's "righteousness" and "justice"?

Zhu Fengdan glared at the Grand Master: "Drink your wine, and don't talk nonsense to me!"

The three grandmasters shook their heads and remained silent.

One must walk one's own Dao Path; no one can help you. A few words are enough. Zhu Fengdan is already a third-rank cultivator; how could she be swayed by the words of others?

A sorcerer god personally pointed out that he had taken the wrong path, but he didn't listen.

Another high-ranking official, who had been silent until now, looked down and said, "Alright, it seems your disciple has been suppressed and failed? Should we intervene?"

Zhu Fengdan rolled her eyes. "No need. I'm only responsible for stopping you guys. If he fails to find a wife, that's his own business. Am I supposed to help him steal her? If Ranked Shaman catches him, just don't implicate me. Let the kid be punished himself."

However, he also picked up a glass of wine, drank it all in one gulp, and said calmly and confidently, "Besides, this guy is smart and must have his own way. I fulfilled all the requests he made a couple of days ago."

"He has the resources of a Great Shaman, yet he can't even find a wife. He deserves to remain a bachelor!"

Let's not even talk about what happened with Zhu Fengdan.

Meanwhile, Shen Shuibi finally arrived at Yang Ning's place, looking anxious as she pounded on the door.

She couldn't get in because of the restrictions set up by Yang Ning.

But then Yang Ning waved his hand, and a beam of light rose up, opening a door in one direction within the restriction.

Shen Shuibi rushed in immediately.

However, before he could even stand up straight, Li Qi made a hand gesture to Yang Ning.

Yang Ning frowned, then closed the barrier again, isolating herself from the outside world.

Then, Li Qi went to meet him head-on.

Shen Shuibi looked flustered, as if she wanted to say something.

But Li Qi stepped forward and calmly said, "Don't speak, listen to me."

Shen Shuibi had just landed, looking at Yang Ning and Li Qi at the same time, her heart filled with anxiety and doubt. But as soon as Li Qi said that, the rabbit swallowed back all the words she had to say and obediently stopped.

Li Qi then began to speak in a very organized manner.

He pressed down on Shen Shuibi's shoulder.

This action made Yang Ning look disgusted.

Yang Ning even wanted to kick Li Qi out, but seeing that Shen Shuibi didn't mind at all, she forcibly restrained herself.

She wanted to see how Li Qi, who was so certain that Shen Shuibi would agree, would ultimately be proven wrong.

If Shen Shuibi showed even the slightest resistance or displeasure, it would mean rejection, and at that point she would definitely break Li Qi's two dirty hands.

Li Qi ignored all that and continued to speak while supporting Shen Shuibi's shoulders:

"First, I didn't notice your physical injuries before, I'm sorry."

Shen Shuibi's train of thought was immediately interrupted, and she subconsciously replied, "No... it's okay."

"Secondly, did you read the letter I gave you?"

"I... I haven't had time yet," Shen Shuibi stammered.

Li Qi was too close.

"It's alright, don't look anymore, just listen to me." Li Qi nodded. "I'll take care of your injuries. It has nothing to do with Wushen Mountain, it's Tang Kingdom's responsibility."

"Ah... ah?" Shen Shuibi didn't react.

"This is a document from the Honglu Temple. I have already persuaded them to fund your medical treatment. Compared to what I received as a hostage in the past, this is nothing to them." Li Qi handed over the document.

"Third, now that you're free from the worries of your injuries, the problem is the conflict between Wushen Mountain and Mount Luofu. This is something neither of us can control, but we can work together to achieve a result that is good for both sides. What do you think?"

"Uh... um!" Shen Shuibi thought for a moment and felt that there seemed to be no problem.

"The previous conflict stemmed from two points: your injuries and the conflict between the forces behind us."

So, Li Qi raised his voice. "So! Both points have been resolved, and you can throw away the conclusions you came up with after thinking for so long! Discard your stupid ideas, and leave the rest to me!"

"Okay, okay!" Shen Shuibi straightened her back subconsciously.

"Then, only one question remains." Li Qi said, taking his hand off Shen Shuibi's shoulder.

He then used both hands to hold her face, controlling the direction of her head and forcing the rabbit to look at him directly.

"Letting the Tang Kingdom treat your injuries won't worsen Lady Luofu's karma. We've settled on how to earn something in the Tang Kingdom to repay that karma, right?"

"Eh... um."

"However, we need to analyze each situation specifically. We'll figure out how to implement it later when we get to the Tang Kingdom. But once you're healed, the efficiency will definitely be much better than you being stuck in this cave right now."

"However, all of this is on the condition that we go to the Tang Kingdom together, just like we have for the past two and a half years. Miss Shen, do you agree?"

Li Qi's barrage of questions had already thrown Shen Shuibi into a daze.

She had already been in a state of Dao heart turmoil, but Li Qi's words reminded her of that time.

She is more used to and prefers the feeling of having someone to lean on compared to the current situation.

Previously it was Lady Luofu, now it's Li Qi.

So, she nodded subconsciously.

Yang Ning, who was watching from the sidelines, looked disgusted.

But Li Qi was not happy; instead, he kept a straight face.

He asked again, "Have you heard me clearly, Miss Shen? Now you have no worries, no one can threaten you, your injuries and lifespan are no longer a problem, and there is no cause and effect that requires you to repay anything. You are now completely free and without worries."

"Now, I'll ask you one more time: are you willing to walk with me from now on? In other words, I want you to marry me."

Shen Shuibi suddenly realized what was happening.

But instead of blushing, she asked in confusion, "Marry... you? Why are you suddenly saying something like that?"

"Never mind why I said that, do you agree?"

"No... let me sort this out." Suddenly, Shen Shuibi broke free from Li Qi's hand, covered her ears with her hands, and squatted down on the ground.

Although she was confused by what Li Qi said.

But the rabbit was not unintelligent; she realized that Li Qi was not talking about trivial matters.

She quickly forced herself to calm down, and her previously malfunctioning brain began to function again.

Then, she raised her head and looked at Li Qi: "Li Qi, is what you said true?"

"Have I ever lied to you?" Li Qi retorted.

Shen Shuibi remained silent for a moment, then spoke again, "The conflict between Mount Luofu and Wushen Mountain..."

But this time, Li Qi interrupted her directly, "Is there a conflict?"

Yes, is there a contradiction?

The answer is simple.

There was no conflict, but rather kindness.

But why should we remain suspicious?

Because this matter concerns Great Dao Opportunity, it's normal that Mount Luofu doesn't trust it and fears that Wushen Mountain harbors ill intentions.

Therefore, Li Qi said directly at this time, "There is no conflict between Wushen Mountain and Mount Luofu, only suspicion."

"Suspicion is unavoidable, and no one can stop it. Even the witch gods can't do anything about it, so we can only let time smooth it out. There's no point in you staying here. The Wushen Mountain doesn't care about your things, and you can't repay much. Why don't you come with me to the Tang Kingdom and find a solution?"

"So, let's not get involved in this. Let's go to the Tang Kingdom. That way, we can avoid getting involved in direct conflict, and then we can slowly find a solution."

"You don't really think that Wushen Mountain needs your fifth-grade insights, do you? Stupid rabbit, what good will it do for them if you stay here and exhaust your true spirit?"

"Come with me, heal your wounds, and the resources you can get there are far greater than in the cave abode on Wushen Mountain."

This was the best-case scenario that Li Qi came up with.

Li Qi's voice was calm and steady, and his topics were very realistic, lacking any of the romantic flair typical of courtship.

There's no need for romantic topics.

Even if you explained it to the rabbit, it wouldn't understand; that's just the kind of person she is.

"Then... what does marrying you have to do with this?" Shen Shuibi asked finally.

Li Qi smiled.

To be honest, he had already guessed that the rabbit would ask that question.

Soft and chewy, so cute.

What she fears most now is change, isn't it? To be able to stand still like a tree, doing what you love from the beginning to the end of your life, is probably what Shen Shuibi considers happiness.

He had no ambition, but unexpectedly, he aligned with the Daoist principle of "freedom and ease".

After laughing, Li Qi replied, "It's okay, I just simply want you to marry me."

The rabbit squatted on the ground, its brain working at lightning speed.

Li Qi is right.

Moreover... she felt comfortable being with Li Qi.

It's very comforting.

So.

"Good."

After she had thought it through, she nodded.

As always, her expression remained unchanged, as if she had agreed to go out and have fun.

Li Qi was surprised, but upon closer reflection, it made perfect sense.

Yes, that's more like Shen Shuibi's reaction.

It would be strange if someone actually came across a scene where they were moved to tears and screamed in surprise.

"Alright, then come with me." Li Qi said calmly, holding the rabbit's hand.

Yang Ning, on the other hand, had a face that looked like she had eaten shit. Her hair color changed from black to red, from red to white, and then from white to black. The Technique Method in her hand condensed and dissipated several times.

It was clear that she really wanted to kill Li Qi.

This is utterly ridiculous!

In her opinion, the conversation between Li Qi and Shen Shuibi was utter nonsense!

But she couldn't say anything else.

If this can help Shen Shuibi escape her current predicament, then so be it.

After receiving an affirmative answer, Li Qi stopped the rabbit.

"Don't worry, I'll take care of these things," he said, looking at Yang Ning. "Sister-in-law, please open the door. We're going back."

Shen Shuibi also said, "Yang Ning, wait for me. I will go and heal my injuries. A hundred years from now, I will definitely earn a lot of things to help Your Highness reduce her burden!"

Yang Ning's face turned pale.

In the end, she sighed, said nothing, waved her hand to activate the barrier, and let the two leave.

But they saw that the area outside was already surrounded by Daoist priests from Mount Luofu.

These people were also taken aback when they saw Shen Shuibi and Li Qi holding hands.

But Yang Ning spoke up, "Go back to your own business and let them go!"

When the Fifth-Rank Great Expert spoke, the other Daoists, though puzzled, knew they couldn't openly defy him. They agreed verbally, leaving with many glances back, whispering amongst themselves, completely bewildered.

However, they knew that there would definitely be an explanation from above later.

Moreover... besides this place, the real threat is still that giant roc outside.

Granny Mei and the others were still confronting Da Peng over there.

Watching Li Qi leave.

Yang Ning also flew towards Dapeng.

But before she arrived, the roc had already flapped its wings and flown away towards Li Qi's location.

It seems like the matter is over.

The whole thing took no more than fifteen minutes.

That's just... ridiculous.

Did she believe Li Qi?

You're overthinking it.

However, at least Li Qi could prevent Shen Shuibi from being trapped and dying in the cave.

That's enough.

As for anything else, Yang Ning didn't care.

I'll say it again.

Shen Shuibi has her own considerations, and there's no need to make decisions for her, since going with that man will allow Shen Shuibi to survive.

That's settled then.

Yang Ning shook his head and sighed, then accelerated his return to the great sun.

The most urgent task is to restore our cultivation level.

On the other side, Shen Shuibi sat on the back of the roc and glanced back at the remnants of Mount Luofu.

I feel a little nostalgic.

But if leaving is for a better return, then the rabbit will not hesitate.

I stayed behind because I wanted to help Mount Luofu.

He left now because he wanted to help Mount Luofu.

Even after going to the Tang Kingdom, this thought in my heart remained unchanged.

The rabbit wasn't without thought; it was precisely because it had thought about it that it agreed to Li Qi's request to go to the Tang Kingdom without hesitation.

As for marrying Li Qi...

Actually, she hadn't really considered that.

She doesn't dislike Li Qi.

She hated the previous dilemma.

Li Qi said that this would be more helpful to Mount Luofu, and she agreed.

So, she chose to go back to the way things were before, abandoning the dilemma.

So she left the cave to find a solution and married Li Qi.

The two things were thus naturally combined and handled together.

To be honest, she didn't feel anything special and didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

The Your Highness also married the Sun Moon True Lead Cauldron, so there's nothing strange about it. They're just together, aren't they? They were together for the previous two years too.

At this moment, the rabbit was still confused and bewildered.

They didn't realize what the word 'marry' meant.

After all, she wasn't born naturally.

In the sky, the two flew towards the Tang Kingdom.

Riding on the back of a roc, one can travel nine thousand miles with a single flap of its wings.

Of course, this is the world, so we can't actually fly that fast. It's about nine million li away from Chang'an.

It will probably take about a day to fly there.

Going to the outer realms would be faster, but Li Qi specifically instructed Dapeng not to go to the Outer Heaven.

The teacher is currently confronting Da Zong outside. If he actually went there, he would probably be shot down. It's safer to fly below.

Yes, they didn't even pack their luggage and just set off on the spot.

It's not a good time to stay on Wushen Mountain now. If Ranked Shaman comes back, there will be nowhere to run away.

Therefore, Li Qi was prepared to flee immediately. He had already made arrangements with the Honglu Temple, and he was heading there now to complete the formalities as soon as he arrived.

Very soon.

The roc was almost invisible, doing nothing but flying the entire time, and it was so stable that it easily gave people the illusion that they were on the ground.

With a wingspan of nine thousand miles, it's practically indistinguishable from a continent, complete with pavilions and towers, making it hard to believe you're on a bird's back.

It's simply because I'm in the midst of it all.

Perhaps... this really isn't Bird's Back, because the surroundings have clearly been altered by Zhu Fengdan, and this palace is completely isolated from the outside world.

The roc was carrying a grotto-heaven on its back, but this grotto-heaven belonged to Zhu Fengdan.

Li Qi is in this situation now.

However, Li Qi's State of Mind was different.

He was completely unlike his previous composed and strategic self; he was almost completely exhausted, lying on Dapeng's back, panting heavily.

Good heavens!

He appeared confident, but was actually panicking. He had thought more than once about what he would do if Shen Shuibi rejected him.

This includes kidnapping people directly, leaving gracefully, or something else entirely.

But in the end, things turned out just as he had predicted.

Shen Shuibi's choice was not much different from what he had thought.

Having served as an external brain for two years, he understood Shen Shuibi's general thinking.

After leaving that place, Li Qi, who was in a state of tension, immediately broke out in a cold sweat and lay on the ground, panting heavily.

He kept turning back to look at Shen Shuibi, trying to discern any different expression on her face.

Unfortunately, the rabbit was oblivious to romance.

That used to be quite endearing.

People who watch this now are frustrated.

So he took the initiative and said, "Miss Shen..."

"Huh?" The rabbit tilted its head and then came closer.

"Uh, Aunt Shen... By the way, what do Yang Ning and Lady Luofu call you?" he asked while lying on the ground.

Shen Shuibi stepped forward, helped him up, and then used her Technique Method to cleanse him of impurities.

Upon hearing Li Qi's question, the rabbit pondered for a moment.

"What do you call me? Oh, you mean, my childhood name? Hmm... Yang Ning usually calls me 'Hey,' but Your Highness calls me Yu'er, or Yu. What's wrong?"

Li Qi nodded in realization.

It turns out that Shuibi meant this.

The bright moon is like jade, so the name of the breast is jade, and the word "Shui Bi" is actually the name of jade. The green Hetian jade is called "Shui Bi", also known as jasper.

Ancient books record that. "Cinnabar is azure, gold paste is azure, these are rare natural treasures that are hard to find outside of physical objects."

The name alludes to the Jade Rabbit; Lady Luofu is quite good at naming things.

"It's nothing. May I not call you Miss Shen?" Li Qi thought for a moment and then sat down.

It wasn't appropriate to call her by her childhood name, but he didn't want to continue calling her Miss Shen either.

Let's change the name.

"Call me whatever you want." Shen Shuibi didn't seem to mind at all. "I didn't call you Young Master Li, I always call you Li Qi, didn't I?"

The rabbit was puzzled. It was just a name, so why did Li Qi look so strange, as if he was having trouble saying it?

From the moment she agreed to Li Qi's request until now, she seems to have remained completely calm.

On the other side, Li Qi made up his mind. "From now on, I will call you Shui Bi."

"Shui Bi," Li Qi repeated.

Just that one sound.

It was just a change of name, and suddenly, the rabbit buried its head.

What's going on?!

What's causing this feeling?

It's just a change in address...

Her face flushed red instantly.

"Wait, wait a minute." Shen Shuibi raised her head, barely suppressing the surging Qi and Blood.

What's going on? Is this also a side effect of the true spirit being worn away?

Several times in a row, I couldn't suppress the strange feeling welling up inside me.

"Shui Bi?" Li Qi saw Shen Shuibi suddenly lower her head and quickly went forward to help her up, wanting to see what was wrong.

But Shen Shuibi quickly tilted her head, stammering, unable to speak, "No... no."

Actually, what she wanted to say was, 'Don't call me that.'

But the words stuck in my throat.

I have never felt this way in the past 9,462 years.

It was so strange; a sour feeling rose from my internal organs and rushed into my head, and even my reason couldn't suppress it.

I feel dizzy and lightheaded.

It's like being in water.

It wasn't until Li Qi was almost touching her nose that Shen Shuibi realized what was happening. Then, with a bang, she turned into a rabbit and shrunk into a pile of clothes.

Because of her unique characteristics, one can see that she is still glowing inside the pile of clothes, with one rune after another emerging outwards.

That's quite interesting.

Li Qi was stunned, his hand frozen in place, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

Find the person responsible?

That's inappropriate, isn't it? You're not wearing any clothes.

However, at this moment, the rabbit poked its head out from the pile of clothes, looking somewhat anxious, and said to Li Qi, "Um... Li, Li Qi, I didn't mean to dislike you, it's just that... you..."

"You, you..." She stammered for a while before finally saying, "Let me get used to it. I'm a little... not used to it."

Li Qi was also very nervous.

But seeing him like this, he suddenly felt relieved.

Li Qi seemed to understand what Shen Shuibi meant by "don't make any changes".

He simply sat down and picked up the rabbit from the ground.

Of course, I carried it along with its clothes.

Because it had been transformed into its original form, the dress became like a sleeping bag, so Li Qi simply picked it up and put it in his arms.

The rabbit peeked out from its collar, breathed a sigh of relief, and seemed quite satisfied with the current situation.

Li Qi carried the rabbit all the way to the pavilions and towers. This should be his teacher's palace, which looked like it hadn't been inhabited for a long time.

Neither of them continued speaking.

As mentioned before.

Both of them need some time to adjust.

Li Qi adapted to the tension and ecstasy within him.

Shen Shuibi, on the other hand, was trying to adjust to the sudden and unusual feeling.

Sitting in the pavilion atop the roc, it was early summer.

I see the red blossoms scattered and the green leaves lush and green, mandarin ducks entwined on the pond, and cuckoos crying in vain on the branches.

Unfortunately, the two who wanted to calm down only found themselves becoming more and more confused.

After sitting for a while, instead of calming down, I felt more and more confused, watching the bees flit about and the butterflies dance in pairs.

"Sigh." Li Qi couldn't help but put the rabbit wrapped in its sleeping bag on the table.

The rabbit simply let its ears droop down, covering its eyes, as if doing so would allow it to escape reality.

"Shui Bi," Li Qi said, looking directly at the rabbit.

"Hmm..." the rabbit responded softly, its voice barely audible, as if it dared not speak.

She really didn't dare to speak.

Because now, she has come to her senses.

The "marriage" that Li Qi mentioned is probably not the same as the "marriage" she understands.

Shen Shuibi's understanding of marriage is the same as that of Lady Luofu.

They treat each other with respect, support each other, and call each other like-minded people. Even if their worldviews Great One, they can still walk together.

Just like... the past two years between myself and Li Qi.

This is her understanding of marriage, and also of being a 'dao companion'.

"dao companion dao companion" refers to a companion on the path of seeking enlightenment, someone who shares the same ideals and is willing to share life and death. It is a word as weighty as "fellow traveler."

However, although the word was heavy, Shen Shuibi felt that Li Qi was okay with it.

Therefore, Shen Shuibi agreed to Li Qi's request without hesitation, because she felt that it was no different from before.

But now she suddenly realizes that what Li Qi thinks is not like that.

So she was a little scared.

However, after swallowing, the fluffy rabbit spoke in human language, "Wait, Li Qi, don't speak yet. Take this bamboo slip."

"Let's each write down our understanding of a dao companion, and then exchange them to see. I want to know... if there's some misunderstanding between us."

As she spoke, she rummaged through the Mustard Seed Bag in her inner clothes and found a bamboo slip, then timidly handed it to Li Qi with her little paws.

"Okay," Li Qi readily agreed.

The main point is that he also realized this.

Then the man and the rabbit turned their backs to each other and began to record on the bamboo slips.

Then, they exchanged them.

Li Qi even had a vague feeling that this exchange felt like...

Exchange rings?

It felt weird, but there was a little bit of excitement in it.

Difficult to understand.

Next, Li Qi received the document written by Shen Shuibi.

The above is a very simple sentence:

"Pursuing the Way is like taking wood from the mountains; it is difficult for one person to do it alone. One must share it with those who share the Way. This means sharing the Way; it means sharing one's own thoughts. The ancient Sacred King only sought those who shared the Way, not necessarily those who shared their own thoughts."

The meaning is very simple; she meant fellow practitioners and dao companion.

This is probably how the Lady Luofu and the Sun Moon True Lead Cauldron are presented to the outside world.

Li Qi covered his face.

As expected, what Shen Shuibi thought was marriage was actually a fellow traveler.

Although this identity is already extremely important, it can be said to be one of the most important positions in the rabbit's heart, right?

For those Dao Pursuer, the weight of the word "fellow traveler" is self-evident; it can even be placed on par with parents and teachers.

The quantity is sufficient, but... something is missing.

But on the other side, the rabbit pulled its face back.

She was trembling.

My heart has never been beating so fast.

Because Li Qi wrote, "If heaven and earth are not in harmony, all things will not grow. Marriage is the continuation of ten thousand generations. It will unite two families to serve the ancestral temple above and continue the lineage below."

A poem was also attached.

Her spirit is as clear as water and her skin as white as ice and snow; her beauty is as radiant as a pearl in the night.

Her jade-like face is found only in the moon palace, and her beauty is unparalleled in the world.

In the deep spring, a graceful figure is draped in a jade quilt; the soft embroidered cushions are blurred with delicate patterns.

Where mandarin ducks intertwine their necks in the green pond, the phoenixes on the dressing table are no longer alone.

Spring breezes blow as peach and plum blossoms bloom at night, candles burn and incense burns.

We vow to be together forever, so I urge you not to waste your time.

Such poems, written in the bedroom, can barely be called a form of sentimentality.

Writing it here would be pure lewdness.

The atmosphere suddenly became incredibly awkward.

Li Qi was behind him, covering his face and not daring to turn around.

He didn't know how he ended up writing that thing.

Is this what it means to be a mortal? Unable to control oneself, lacking a clear mind, and not yet cultivated enough!

So everything before was just nonsense?

What should I say next?

Li Qi's brain started racing, and he broke out in a sweat. He didn't even know what he was thinking at the time.

It's like...

Shen Shuibi said very solemnly, "From now on, I want to walk this path with you, together, to the ends of the earth, never looking back."

Then he said to Shen Shuibi, "I want to sleep with you."

That's roughly the situation.

Li Qi had dug holes in the ground with his toes; there was no other word to describe his current situation except "utterly ashamed."

He began to think about how to resolve this situation.

But before he could figure out a solution, he felt someone pulling him.

It must be a rabbit.

Li Qi turned his head awkwardly, wanting to explain.

However, he saw Shen Shuibi pulling him back into human form, and she even changed her clothes.

Previously, when the clothes from the bunny sleeping bag were crumpled up and thrown on the ground, she changed into a new set of clothes, but the style was exactly the same.

It looks like two identical outfits. That's strange. Why did they change them?

When Li Qi was puzzled, she tugged at Li Qi sleeve and stammered, "If that's what you think, Li Qi, then... then I can do it too."

Li Qi felt a loud bang in his ears, and his thought process was completely interrupted.

My brain crashed.

They have lost the ability to think.

The clever Li Qi disappeared; mortals are mortals, unable to actively extinguish their own thoughts.

A delightful surprise at meeting a lover, as sweet as honey, without a care for the fragrant curtains or torn silk robes—

However, he regained his senses when he tore off the outer cover and saw what was inside.

Why does seeing this restore my rationality?

Because, although Shen Shuibi covered her face and remained silent, four words were written on her inner lining.

'Don't rush, don't rush.'

Now he understood why he needed to change his clothes.

The rain cleared the clouds, and the gathering at the Blue Bridge was rescheduled.

A promise made by stars and moon, a fortunate encounter with the land of Wuchu.

When the crane enters the wind-swept nest, the love between the Guan Ju is finally fulfilled.

Where dragons dwell in cunning dens, how could they not have secret affairs involving clouds and rain?

Needless to say, the journey itself was quite eventful.

The next day, Li Qi was dressed neatly and discussed matters of the future.

Li Qi sat at the table, holding Shen Shuibi, and said, "This matter was carried out in haste, and many things were not prepared. There was no order from our teachers or a matchmaker. But we had no other choice but to act expediently. After we pass away, I will definitely ask my teacher to go and make up for it for Lady Luofu. At that time, with our teachers present, we can hold the wedding."

"Hmm..." Shen Shuibi simply nodded.

She is now in the form of a rabbit, wearing a little dress that fits a rabbit's body.

Since yesterday, she has maintained this posture, curling herself up and locking herself in, and she no longer speaks, at most humming a few words.

Perhaps she has run out of courage and shamelessness, and now she is too ashamed to face anyone, so she can only turn into a rabbit to escape reality.

Li Qi, however, felt refreshed and free of any doubts. The pent-up anger from before had dissipated, and State of Mind much more at ease.

I have no regrets in life. Now I'll go to the Tang Kingdom to study and experience true Human Path.

Li Qi felt that all he needed to do now was to wholeheartedly pursue his original, most passionate goal.

That's how life should be. Living with bitterness and resentment all the time is the life of an animal.

Just then, the roc below suddenly stopped.

The sound came:

"Young master, we have arrived in Chang'an."

With an overwhelming majority of votes, here comes the 8K5 Great Chapter. I'm overloaded, so there will be no update tomorrow.
