In front of the mountain gate.
An Ruoyi arrived.
Today, she was alone.
Seeing Li Ping'an, An Ruoyi walked over with a joyful expression, pulling Li Ping'an towards the nearby woods, "Ping'an, why are you here again?"
Li Ping'an chuckled, "I missed my Mother Tiger, so I came to see if my Mother Tiger had been abducted."
"Hmph, what a foul mouth you have."
An Ruoyi rolled her eyes at Li Ping'an in annoyance, "Didn't I tell you before that many people are after me? I've already rejected them all by saying I have a Dao Companion with super talent."
"If they knew you were near Xianyan Sect and had no Cultivation, it would be very dangerous!"
Li Ping'an shrugged, "Actually, your husband, I, am not weaker than anyone!"
"You're just trying to save Face."
An Ruoyi took out some Spiritual Talismans and handed them to Li Ping'an, "These are all Grade-3 Golden Light Talismans I bought. If you're in danger, use them for self-defense."
"I don't need them."
Li Ping'an tried to refuse, but An Ruoyi directly stuffed the Spiritual Talismans into his arms.
This action,
Still made Li Ping'an feel a little happy, "You hooligan, you touched me!"
"Looking for a beating, are you?"
An Ruoyi feigned fierceness and waved her fist, then asked, "Where have you been hiding all this time? I went to Outer Gate Spirit City to look for you several times, but I couldn't find you."
Li Ping'an pointed in the direction of Jiang Family Village, "I'm planting Spiritual Plants east of Jiang Family Village. Next time you look for me, just go there."
Jiang Family Village?
An Ruoyi's delicate brows furrowed, "Why would you be planting Spiritual Plants there?"
Li Ping'an said, "What's wrong with that place?"
An Ruoyi's red lips moved slightly, "Have you ever met someone named Jiang Ming?"
Li Ping'an: "Yes, he often freeloads my wine."
"Phew~" An Ruoyi breathed a slight sigh of relief, "He's very formidable, even the three Immortal Seedlings of Xianyan Sect don't dare to provoke him, and no one dares to farm there!"
Li Ping'an said, "I think he's quite easy to get along with."
An Ruoyi reminded him, "Just don't offend him, that's all. It's best to stay away from him. He was once the personal Disciple of Xianyan Sect's Great Protector, but for some unknown reason, he was expelled."
After that,
She grabbed Li Ping'an's wrist to sense, "Did you eat those Medicinal Pills?"
"Yes."
Li Ping'an replied, then continued, "It just had no effect, so you don't need to get resources for me anymore."
After a slight pause,
Li Ping'an added, "Oh, and stay away from Wang Xin'yan. Her intentions are impure; she wants to help Ye Zifeng harm you."
An Ruoyi frowned, "My master has already told me about these things, but how did you know?"
Li Ping'an's eyes darted around, and he chuckled, "Jiang Ming told me. Wang Xin'yan came to find me before and even said you sent her to ask me to write a divorce letter."
Hearing this,
An Ruoyi's beautiful eyes showed anger, "How could Wang Senior Sister do such a thing!"
Then, she gazed at Li Ping'an, "Did you write it?"
Li Ping'an shook his head, "No, my Mother Tiger is so lovely, how could I bear to divorce you? Even if they put a knife to my neck, I wouldn't write it."
"Hmph~" An Ruoyi lightly snorted, "If someone really forces you with a knife, then write it. Living is the most important thing. Anyway, I won't accept it!"
Scanning An Ruoyi.
Li Ping'an's expression was serious, "Mother Tiger, I'm too lonely by myself. I want to have a child with you."
"Stop."
An Ruoyi's expression straightened, and she said, "I'm a Cultivator now, how can I have a child so early?"
"If there's nothing else, you should go back quickly."
Li Ping'an sighed lightly and turned around. No luck again.
Gazing at Li Ping'an's back, An Ruoyi pulled him back, then stood on her tiptoes and kissed him.
At this moment.
His whole body felt like it was electrocuted.
That gentle touch instantly seemed to possess magic, freezing a moment in time.
Niu Niu, Hei Hei, and Da Huang sat neatly in a row, like proper spectators.
An Ruoyi pushed Li Ping'an away, "Why did you stick out your tongue?"
Li Ping'an: "That's the Soul."
"Bah, you hooligan."
An Ruoyi glanced at Li Ping'an, "In three days, I'll be an Inner Sect Disciple. By then, I'll find a way to keep you by my side."
After a few exchanges.
The two reluctantly parted.
As they walked,
Hei Hei nudged Li Ping'an, "Boss, what did it feel like when you two kissed just now?"
Li Ping'an kicked Hei Hei away, "Don't ask about things unsuitable for dogs."
"Woof~ It's that line again."
Hei Hei ran off with its tail between its legs.
Jiang Family Village.
Spiritual Field wooden shed.
When he returned here, Jiang Ming was also present.
Besides him, there was a slaughtered, gutted, and clean Spirit Beast, and a pile of firewood.
Li Ping'an was astonished, "Brother Jiang, what is the meaning of this?"
Jiang Ming chuckled, "I've freeloaded a lot of your wine before, so today I'm treating you to meat."
Li Ping'an said, "This is a Spirit Beast! If Xianyan Sect finds out you stole a Spirit Beast, it's a huge crime!"
"What huge crime?"
Jiang Ming scoffed, "I caught these openly from Xianyan Sect."
As he spoke,
He formed a hand seal, and a cluster of flames appeared. The bonfire was lit, and he began to roast the Spirit Beast.
Hei Hei, Niu Niu, and Da Huang all gathered around the bonfire, each of them drooling.
Jiang Ming glanced at them, "Your pets all seem quite obedient."
Li Ping'an said, "I've raised them since they were small, so they've gained some human-like qualities."
Jiang Ming rubbed a dog's head and said, "You don't have a Spiritual Root and can't Cultivate, so you should get some Medicinal Pills to train them."
"Perhaps they could even evolve into Yao Beasts, and if they could evolve into Spirit Beasts, they would be a great helper for you."
Li Ping'an chuckled, "Are Spirit Beasts very powerful?"
Jiang Ming said, "Spirit Beasts have great potential for growth. Many Cultivators with poor Cultivation talent choose to control beasts."
"However, raising Spirit Beasts is not easy. With the harvest from the Spiritual Plants you're growing, you might not even be able to raise one Spirit Beast by the time you're in the ground."
Li Ping'an smiled and said nothing.
Compared to Hei Hei and the other two, Spirit Beasts probably weren't much; perhaps they were only fit to be side dishes for drinks.
The bonfire flickered, and the roasted meat smelled fragrant.
Jiang Ming gave Li Ping'an a bird's wing, "This is the best meat from the entire Spirit Beast."
He was not stingy and shared a bit with Hei Hei and Da Huang, seeing their drooling expressions.
"Moo~"
Niu Niu was displeased, pawing its front hooves and protesting.
Jiang Ming looked at Niu Niu, then at Li Ping'an, "What does it mean? Does it want to ram me?"
"No."
Li Ping'an chuckled, "It's also very gluttonous; it wants to eat meat."
Jiang Ming threw some roasted meat to Niu Niu. Seeing Niu Niu eat it all in a few bites, he was surprised, "Heh, this grass-eating ox can really eat meat."
Li Ping'an laughed, "This is probably a descendant of the Devil King..."
Before long.
The roasted Spirit Beast was completely finished.
However, everyone felt they hadn't eaten enough.
Jiang Ming wiped his mouth with his sleeve, then greeted them and returned to Jiang Family Village to continue practicing his sword.
Li Ping'an pulled Hei Hei, Da Huang, and Niu Niu over, "From your perspective, how powerful is this kid Jiang Ming?"
Da Huang shook its dog head, "He should be very powerful, or perhaps not powerful."
Niu Niu said, "I'm dumb, I can't tell."
Hei Hei said, "His Qi is suppressed by a black stone coffin."
Li Ping'an was surprised, "What stone coffin? Why didn't I see it?"
Niu Niu tilted its Face, "Hei Hei, are you talking nonsense? I didn't see it either."
Hei Hei rolled its dog eyes, "You guys have bad eyesight. Didn't I say before that I can see everything in the misty illusion, what can be seen and what cannot!"
Li Ping'an's heart filled with joy. This was probably a Divine Ability that Hei Hei had Awakened.
Although it wasn't useful now, it would definitely be of great use in the future!
However, this kid Jiang Ming was also strange. Why would he carry a stone coffin for no reason...
