The night passed uneventfully.
At dawn the next day, Yan Li slowly opened his eyes. His breathing was even and his spirit was not bad. The medicine from yesterday had taken effect and he had recovered some of his strength.
"It's been a long time." He slowly exhaled and stood up like a carp. His gaze swept across the room and he got off the bed, reaching for Xuan Jun at the head of the bed.
He did not practice swordsmanship often, but because he had not used it for many days, he felt a sense of unfamiliarity. This meant that it was only at this level.
Xuan Jun's destructive power was on the Li Cliff, so it was suitable for special skills. However, it was not suitable for swordsmanship. It was too heavy and he felt tired after a few moves.
"Why don't you take care of yourself? You're already injured like this, why don't you lie down."
At this time, the door was pushed open and Li Xiang Jun came in with a box of food. A black clothed swordsman followed behind, carrying a basin of water and washing utensils. After putting it down, he tactfully retreated.
"First Mister said that you always act recklessly. He was right. When will you care about other people's feelings?"
Li Xiang Jun put down the box of food and complained softly as she walked over. She sheathed Xuan Jun and pressed Yan Li to sit down. She handed him the old willow branch that was soaked in water.
Yan Li did not take it and said with a smirk: "I don't even have the strength to bite it open now."
"Then what should I do?" Li Xiang Jun was startled.
"Help me bite it." Yan Li deliberately stared at her lips as if he was drooling.
Li Xiang Jun immediately understood and her pretty face turned red: "You, why are you so bad!" Although she was very shy, she still helped him bite open the willow branch, revealing the fibers inside and handed it to him. "Hurry and take it."
Yan Li took it and deliberately sniffed it under his nose. He said in an intoxicated manner, "Hmm … it's really fragrant, worthy of being kissed by the Fragrant Lady. Next I'm going to 'kiss the fragrance'." While saying that, he dipped it in some salt, put it in his mouth and wiped his teeth, while humming a tune.
"Why are you always so improper?" Li Xiang Jun heard this and blushed. After he finished rinsing his mouth, he handed over the hot and wet towel.
"If this continues, I will soon become a corrupt landlord." Yan Li sighed.
Li Xiang Jun smiled, "If only you were really willing to be a landlord, then we wouldn't have to worry about you."
"Are you worried about me?" Yan Li wiped her face and put the towel back into the water.
"Just a little." Li Xiang Jun snorted.
"You were wronged last night." Yan Li suddenly pulled her into his arms.
Li Xiang Jun's beautiful face flushed red, but she did not struggle. She gently leaned her head on his chest, "It's not a grievance. Your aunt is right. I'm just a lowly girl from a brothel. I'm not qualified to be your wife. I just want to stay close to you and look at you from afar. That's enough. "
"You underestimate yourself and overestimate me." Yan Li said, "A person's status has nothing to do with his family background. It should depend on himself. When you think you are inferior, you are indeed inferior. Don't have this kind of feeling. The Li Xiang Jun in my mind is a strange woman who can talk and laugh calmly in front of Ji Tiansheng. She has the wisdom to make enemies who even I have a headache stumble. "
Li Xiang Jun said in a daze, "I, I'm not as good as you say."
"Let me tell you a story." Yan Li smiled, "There was a philanthropist from a wealthy family who often gave rice and noodles to the poor. One day, an old beggar who was about to starve to death heard about his deeds and knocked on his door. The philanthropist gave him fifty taels of silver without saying anything. Unfortunately, before the old beggar could buy food, it was snatched away. The old beggar accidentally met another beggar. That beggar knew about his situation and immediately gave him half of the flatbread that he had prepared for today. Which one do you think is more noble, the beggar or the philanthropist? "
Li Xiang Jun thought for a moment and said, "In terms of character, of course it's the beggar. He gave half of his only bread to the old beggar."
"Then what do you think a person's status is determined by?" Yan Li asked.
Li Xiang Jun said dejectedly, "I understand what you mean. However, for me, my birth has already decided everything. "
The environment in which she grew up had deeply ingrained some old ideas in her heart.
"Let me ask you another question. You should have already experienced the benefits of cultivation by now."
"Yes, I'm already a sixth grade martial artist."
Yan Li lowered his head, looked into her eyes and said, "Then, if one day, you comprehend the truth of martial arts, break through the cultivation realm, and become one of the few experts in the Divine Land, will you still feel that you are lowly?"
Li Xiang Jun was stunned. She had never thought of this question before. "Me? Impossible … "How could I …"
"Why is it impossible?" Yan Li said with a smile, "Your real name is a third-class heavenly being. Maybe you don't know, but in the entire Divine Land, there are no more than ten third-class true names."
"Really?" Li Xiang Jun asked foolishly. Her simple, honest, and innocent look had a kind of soul stealing allure.
"My baby Junjun is so cute." Yan Li couldn't help but be moved. He suddenly lowered his head and kissed her.
This kiss was incomparably long. Both of them were immersed in it and didn't realize that Shen Liuyun was at the door.
Shen Liuyun walked in expressionlessly with a bowl in his hand. Without looking at the two of them, he placed the bowl beside the food box and said, "Drink after the meal." Then he turned around and left.
The two of them woke up. Li Xiang Jun exclaimed and jumped away, but only saw the back of Shen Liuyun leaving in a hurry. She immediately cried and said, "It's all, it's all your fault. Now your aunt must think that I'm an unscrupulous person … What should I do, what should I do … Will she drive me away …" All of a sudden, she was in a mess, like an ant on a hot pan.
Yan Li raised his eyebrows and said, "Whether you stay or leave is up to me. She's not my mother, so why should she decide everything for me? "
"How can you say that? She's your aunt."
"It's because she's just my aunt." Yan Li seemed to still be angry.
Li Xiang Jun quickly pulled him to the table and said, "Don't let her hear what you said. She cares about you so much, so she will definitely be sad. I made millet porridge, and you like to eat tofu, celery, and dried bacon. Quickly finish eating and drink the medicine. "As she said that, she gave him a bowl of porridge.
Yan Li frowned and said, "The medicine is too bitter. I don't know what was put in it." He slowly ate it.
Li Xiang Jun said angrily, "Are you an ingrate? Do you know that in order to make this bowl of medicine for you, your aunt ran out of the city early in the morning to find the medicine? "
Yan Li was startled. The delicious food suddenly became tasteless.
"Your aunt is really good to you." Li Xiang Jun said softly, "Don't say that kind of angry words in the future."
"En." Yan Li raised his head and looked at her, "She treated you like that, yet you're still so considerate of her."
"I'm just talking about the matter." Li Xiang Jun rolled her eyes at him, "Moreover, she's your aunt, your elder. I'm your subordinate, so it's only right for me to respect her."
After Yan Li finished eating the porridge, he picked up the medicine and was about to drink it in one gulp. However, he suddenly smelled a fragrance from the medicine. He immediately realized that this was fresh honey that had just been picked from the beehive. His chest suddenly became hot, and he laughed at himself: "I really am an ingrate …"
"Now you know." Li Xiang Jun snorted and said, "Commander Sun told me that your aunt was also seriously injured, but just because you are afraid of bitterness, she spared no effort to find fresh wild honey."
Therefore, no matter how bitter the medicine was, it became not so terrible. Yan Li resisted the nausea and slowly drank until there was not a drop left.
"The North-South Inn is under our control, but it is inevitable that there will be problems. I sent people to pretend to be guards and take a few fake prisoners to the county government office. They can delay for a while."
"You did well."
Li Xiang Jun said with a smile, "There is another good news. According to the scouts, someone suspected to be Mr. First has appeared in the Yongzhou area."
"That's really good news." Yan Li's eyes lit up.
"What are you going to do next?" Li Xiang Jun said with some worry, "Mr. First's safety should be fine, but if Wang Ba really comes, I'm afraid that no one can stop him."
"There is no need to stop him." Yan Li smiled happily. "As long as Yan Shiyi is alive, our goal has been achieved. Wang Yuanlang's life or death is not important, and it does not matter if Wang Ba takes him away."
Li Xiang Jun suddenly understood and said, "Then why don't you go back to the Lonely Moon Inn first? I will stay to deal with the aftermath."
"I am not going back to the Lonely Moon Inn." Yan Li shook his head.
"Then where are you going?" Li Xiang Jun frowned. "Right now, you are wanted all over the country. You are in a very dangerous situation …"
Yan Li smiled at her. "I am going to Yongling now."
Li Xiang Jun was shocked. "Then, isn't that walking into a trap?"
"No one thought that I would go back to Yongling. Send some people to pretend to be me and show up in the counties. I want to talk to Ji Tiansheng. "
Yan Li did not know that there was an invisible and invisible sword shadow on the roof of this room. When it heard this, it immediately turned into a stream of light and flew to the woodshed in the corner of the first floor of the inn.
The sword shadow entered Li Yixiu, who was imprisoned inside. His body suddenly trembled, and his face suddenly turned pale. After opening his eyes, he could not help but retch. He was almost about to vomit out the bitterness before he gradually recovered.
The invisible sword shadow was his natal sword soul, a divine ability that he had obtained by accident during cultivation. The sword shadow itself was the manifestation of his true name, and it carried his consciousness, so he could hear what the sword shadow heard and see what the sword shadow saw. However, with his current cultivation, he did not have the means to protect his consciousness, so once he left his body, he would suffer great pain.
He said with a bitter face, "Every time I use it, it is like walking through hell. That kind of feeling is really not flattering … But at least it is worth it. I did not deliberately become his prisoner in vain …"
After resting for a while, his complexion gradually improved. He adjusted his breathing and then shouted in a low voice. A cold light flashed, and the chains made of black essence gold that bound him broke into several pieces.
