Chapter 123

Lu Lu Jiangxian sat down at the stone table, picked up a jade pot and several jade cups from under the table, condensed a pot of bright, shimmering tea with Taiyin moonlight, and just drank it slowly, pointlessly.

He had only taken a few sips when Lu Lu Jiangxian's ears moved. The void in front of him suddenly broke open, and a white pellet flew out, round and glowing, white light flickering, illuminating the mountaintop in a vast whiteness.

"Talisman Seed... who is it?"

Lu Lu Jiangxian frowned. The talisman seed landed in his hand. He examined it carefully for a while and said in a deep voice:

"Foundation Establishment cultivation. It seems to be Li Li Chijing... The fourth son of the Li family back then, now only the last one remains."

Bringing this white and bright talisman seed closer, Lu Lu Jiangxian inhaled gently. Immediately, white light like smoke and mist flowed into his body through his nose and throat, and many images appeared before his eyes: Qingsui Peak, Mount Mount Qingchi, Yishan City, the southern frontier...

"It really is this child, what a pity... But this Chi Wei, the name sounds so familiar."

Thinking carefully, Lu Lu Jiangxian finally realized. When exploring the cave dwelling on Mount Mount Meichi back then, there was a secret letter written by this Chi Wei to an unknown Foundation Establishment cultivator, asking him to join in the siege of Li Li Jiangqun.

"If you had died, that would be fine. If you didn't die, then this new hatred and old grudge will be settled with you sooner or later."

Lu Lu Jiangxian sighed slightly. His magic power and spiritual sense rose with the tide. Combining the mirror fragments and taking the talisman seed, the power of the Taiyin moonlight also rose to the Foundation Establishment stage, and the number of Mysterious Pearl Talisman Seeds reached nine.

His somewhat illusory hand lifted gently. Lu Lu Jiangxian grabbed into the void, condensing a pale cyan halo.

"Li Li Chijing's lifelong experience and sword cultivation..."

Taiyin moonlight surged out, combining with this halo to condense into a pale cyan precious sword. Lu Lu Jiangxian admired it for a while and casually inserted it into a giant rock on the side.

"Waiting for a fated person."

Magic power rose in his hand, and arrays and talisman techniques condensed. Lu Lu Jiangxian picked up the witchcraft he had studied a few years ago to pass the time.

Li Li Xuanfeng and Jiang Yunu had played more than a dozen times, each time more composed and more enjoyable than the last. Li Li Xuanfeng still hadn't had enough, but Jiang Yunu's round face was already deathly pale, her nose covered in fine beads of sweat, and she pleaded:

"My dear tormentor, please spare me!"

Li Li Xuanfeng paused slightly, laughed awkwardly, kissed her on the eyebrow, and smiled:

"How many silver taels do you need to redeem yourself?"

Seeing Jiang Yunu's look of disbelief, Li Li Xuanfeng thought to himself:

"I don't have much worldly money in this storage bag, only the one thousand taels brought from home. I don't know if it's enough."

The Li family did not store much silver, as immortal cultivation basically had no use for it—at most, a little silver powder would be used when refining elixirs, weapons, or drawing talismans—so there was no reserve in the storage bag. He was currently worried it wouldn't be enough to redeem her.

Jiang Yunu's curved eyebrows arched. Her cute, round face was full of tension, her complexion pale, and she muttered:

"I am just a... performer... I need twenty taels of silver."

"Good."

Li Li Xuanfeng nodded. Jiang Yunu knelt naked on the bed, her face full of unbelievable surprise. Thinking Li Li Xuanfeng was joking with her, she stammered:

"Young Master... please do not tease me."

Li Li Xuanfeng tied his belt, took down the pitch-black longbow from the wall, hung it up, and shook his head in reply:

"Pack your clothes and luggage, we are leaving now."

Jiang Yunu was stunned, then hurriedly hugged her clothes, put them on happily, and pulled him downstairs. She jumped and laughed as she walked in front, finally showing the innocent and cute demeanor of a teenage girl.

Li Li Xuanfeng followed her with a smile. When the two arrived at the front desk, they saw a slightly plump woman dressed in red and green sitting there picking her nails. She glanced at Jiang Yunu and turned her head away with contempt.

"Redemption."

It wasn't until Li Li Xuanfeng spoke that the woman raised her head in surprise and said coldly to Jiang Yunu:

"I was wondering why you looked so smug. So you've latched onto a big spender. You didn't even tell Mother, and you think you can just leave like this?"

Jiang Yunu's round face turned deathly pale, her hands not knowing where to put them. Li Li Xuanfeng frowned and said in a deep voice:

"Redemption!"

The woman raised her head and glanced at Li Li Xuanfeng. Seeing that he was only fifteen or sixteen but had a certain bearing, she feared he was a young master from some family, so her attitude became much more respectful:

"Young Master... do you know that the Zui Chun Pavilion is the property of the County Magistrate? Ordinary people cannot redeem people here at will. Do you have any friends with the status of a noble family? You need to have them come to redeem her."

The woman's words were still polite, and the noble family she spoke of was not the four Foundation Establishment-level noble families of Xiao, Wu, Ma, and Chang, but rather the secular branches of these families.

Li Li Xuanfeng was too lazy to waste time on her. He flicked his finger, and the huge wooden table in front of him turned into dust under the impact of his true essence, covering the woman in it. Only then did he reply:

"Do not make me say it a third time!"

Jiang Yunu and the woman were both stunned. The woman's legs went soft, and she knelt on the ground and slapped her own face twice. It was truly a heavy blow; she forcefully knocked out two teeth, her face covered in blood, and she stammered:

"Immortal, just take her! Immortal, just take her! We had eyes but failed to recognize an immortal! We had eyes but failed to recognize..."

Li Li Xuanfeng threw out two ingots of silver, pulled the shocked Jiang Yunu, and walked out. The girl was so frightened that her limbs were trembling, and she didn't dare to look up at him.

It wasn't until Li Li Xuanfeng bought the house, entered the small courtyard, and placed her on the couch that Jiang Yunu said in a daze:

"You are an immortal?!"

"A cultivator."

Li Li Xuanfeng corrected her and went to untie her belt. Jiang Yunu didn't dare to block him, blushing as she said:

"I... no... no... I can't."

Li Li Xuanfeng had no choice but to stop. Looking at the girl's cute, round face, he suddenly found that the matter had become tricky.

Li Li Xuanfeng feared nothing in heaven or on earth; he was naturally a dissolute person who indulged in his desires. His only fear was disappointing Li Li Tongya, and his second fear was delaying the family's affairs. For a moment, he hesitated and frowned.

Jiang Yunu looked at his expression and said timidly:

"Immortal Master... what is wrong?"

"Call me Li Xuanfeng."

Li Li Xuanfeng shook his head, feeling a bit embarrassed for a moment. He kissed her on the eyebrow and said:

"My family has very strict rules. I am afraid... I cannot take you home. I have wronged you..."

Jiang Yunu was stunned when she heard this. For a moment, she was greatly moved, tears welled up in the corners of her eyes, and she said hoarsely:

"I only know that my status is low. Young Master must be a person from the high-and-mighty immortal clans. How could I hope for anything! Young Master need not think this way. If you go back to the heavens to cultivate, I will wait in this courtyard, wait for five years, wait for ten years, until you come back to see me."

Li Li Xuanfeng frowned. He couldn't stand such tearful words and thought to himself:

"I won't worry about it anymore. Let her live here. Going back and forth will only take a few hours, and it won't delay anything."

So he unbuttoned Jiang Yunu's clothes and began to caress her carefully, holding her tender white hands. Jiang Yunu leaned quietly into his arms and muttered:
