Under the half-withered and half-prosperous tree, more than ten meters above the ground, there was an imperceptible tree hole hidden.
The walls around the tree hole are full of living roots, and they are extremely delicate roots. The tree hole is very warm, and there is a delicate girl lying on the soft roots...
Qiu Lanying slowly opened her deep eyes. She felt as if her body had been liberated. She ravaged her body and finally became soft...
It's her master...
It must be her master Li Shuidao who sucked away the swelling in her chest when she was unconscious.
Qiu Lanying felt extremely relaxed, hugging her knees and sitting in a tree hole, feeling the vitality and ubiquitous warmth, feeling satisfied physically and mentally.
Although the tree hole was dark and lightless, Qiu Lanying could still clearly perceive everything in the tree hole.
She didn't know why, but it was very clear. She even felt that she was more adapted to the underground, as if she was originally an underground creature.
There are two storage bags in the tree hole, one is her own and the other is her respected master's.
These bags were filled with the treasures of their master and disciple, including valuable magical weapons, precious elixirs, and some daily necessities.
The exit of the tree hole is a long passage. The inner wall of this passage is extremely smooth, but it is very narrow and difficult to pass.
Qiu Lanying tried to crawl inside, but found that her body could not pass through the narrow passage.
Her heart was full of confusion. She didn't know how she appeared in this tree hole, and it was even more difficult to imagine how the master entered this tree hole.
Qiu Lanying has no intention of leaving, she knows her mission.
I saw her pressing her palms against the thin tree roots on the vertical belt. Those tree roots were like agile snakes, eating towards the inside of the earth.
She began to mobilize her own skill - "Ten Thousand Trees and Flowers Bloom".
This is a magical Taoist method that can communicate with any spiritual plant, including big trees.
At first, the space in this tree hole was very small, just enough for her alone.
After two months of Qiu Lanying's hard training, she continued to use magic power to expand the space, making the tree hole gradually become wider.
Perhaps in the future, she can expand this tree hole into a huge palace and become a mysterious palace for her and her master. In this palace, they can practice with peace of mind and do whatever they want.
…
Outside the tree hole.
Taiyin Lengjian Cave Mansion.
The reception hall is built next to the creek, backed by the half-withered and half-grown tree.
Li Shuidao was wearing a blue robe, and there was a sense of loftiness between his brows.
At this moment, he was facing a woman in plain clothes. Although the woman was dressed simply, her beautiful eyes were shining, and she seemed a little embarrassed.
"Fellow Daoist Li, it's so elusive. I came here three times before I found you." Lan Huaying sighed softly and said with some helplessness.
Li Shuidao smiled slightly and said apologetically: "I'm really sorry, Senior Sister. I really have some things that need to be dealt with in the past two days, so I couldn't meet with Senior Sister in time."
"Then where have you been these two days?" Lan Huaying asked curiously.
"I have been visiting some friends around, such as Venerable Scorpion, Old Man Poisonous Hand, etc. You know, after I move here, I need to have a good relationship with the neighbors around me." Li Shuidao replied while pouring tea.
"Then why don't you ask your maid to tell me your whereabouts?" Lan Huaying asked doubtfully.
"They don't know. As the master, there is no need to tell a bunch of maids about my whereabouts. However, I specifically told them that if the senior sister comes, they must treat me well and keep me until I come back." Li Shuidao smiled slightly, with a calm expression.
"By the way, Senior Sister, what's the matter with you coming to see me again and again?" Li Shuidao put down the teapot and asked with concentration.
Lan Huaying's face turned slightly red and seemed a little hesitant.
She held onto her dress with ten fingers, looking excited. After a while, she finally plucked up the courage to say: "The family decides... the family decides..."
Li Shuidao asked curiously: "Which family?"
"Um...of course..." Lan Huaying picked up the tea cup and drank it all in one gulp.
The topic suddenly fell into silence.
Of course Li Shuidao knew what she wanted to say, but he had to pretend to be confused.
The news that the Lan family planned to recruit him as their wife came from the Ding family. In order to hide this relationship, Li Shuidao could only learn about it from Lan Huaying.
After a long silence...
Lan Huaying decided to talk about this matter from another angle, and she said with concern: "I remember you seem to have a first wife."
Li Shuidao nodded and said: "In order to continue our small family, people will get married and have children when they are fifteen or sixteen years old. The family did arrange a first wife for me."
"This...send her over to me as a maid." After Lan Huaying finished speaking, her pretty face turned red.
Li Shuidao was stunned for a moment, then said after a slight hesitation: "Why does my first wife want to be your maid?"
Lan Huaying's face changed slightly, and she said with some embarrassment: "This... this..."
The maid in the first room!
Lan Huaying was stunned and did not say these four words.
The atmosphere fell into silence again...
"Xue'er has disappeared." Li Shuidao sighed, his expression a little gloomy.
Lan Huaying was stunned when he heard this. After a moment of silence, he said, "Why did she disappear?"
Li Shuidao smiled bitterly and said: "She went to Yunmang Mountain with me. She has not been heard from for a long time. I am afraid she has probably encountered something unexpected."
The conversation between the two fell into silence again, with only the scent of tea rising.
Lan Huaying was silent for a long time. When this matter was pressed, she finally had to speak on her own, but she still chose to take a roundabout way, so she asked tentatively: "Fellow Daoist Li, what kind of woman do you like?"
Li Shuidao glanced at Lan Huaying indifferently. There was no sadness or joy in this look, as if everything was under control.
However, this calm temperament made Lan Huaying feel his heart skip a beat, and a trace of panic was evoked.
In the past, Li Shuidao was a subordinate and a chess piece, but after Li Shuidao returned, he vigorously competed for the Heavenly Ranking.
He is only over 30 years old and has been practicing Taoism for less than 20 years, but he has already reached the top 30 on the Heavenly Ranking.
More than a dozen third-level monks from the family ancestral temple, as well as two True Lords without Appearance, discussed the matter about Li Shuidao. They concluded that this son has a peerless talent and must take it into his pocket!
The three elders of the Lan family took the initiative and lit Li Shuidao's soul lamp on the second day of the competition and sent it to the Lan family's ancestral temple.
At the same time, the Master Wuxiang of the Lan family visited the other three major families and exchanged some conditions for Li Shuidao to join the Lan family.
The high-level monks have reached an agreement, and there is no longer any suspense for Li Shuidao to enter the Lan family.
The suspense is which woman of the Lan family Li Shuidao will marry into...
The Lan family was a big family, with many women, so they recruited him as their wife.
However, the competition within the Lan family is also extremely fierce. Lan Huaying must make contributions to the family. This is not only related to herself, but also to her father.
"I am determined to practice Taoism and have no interest in women." Li Shuidao said calmly.
"But... if you have a woman from a big family as your wife, it will be of great help in terms of cultivation resources." Lan Huaying said after considering it.
Li Shuidao shook his head and said: "My cultivation relies on talent and the indomitable momentum."
Lan Huaying: "..."
"Senior Sister, if you have nothing else to do, please leave." Li Shuidao said to see the guest off.
At this time, a maid hurriedly came to report: "Master, there is a girl named Lan Yue'er outside, saying she wants to see the master."
Upon hearing the news, Lan Huaying frowned visibly.
"I don't know Lan Yue'er, what does she want from me?" Li Shuidao asked doubtfully.
The maid replied: "She said she had something important to report to the master."
"Well...since you have guests, I'll take my leave first." Lan Huaying frowned and stood up.
"Sister, I'll see you off." Li Shuidao said with enthusiasm.
"No need...you should receive the guests first." Lan Huaying left in a panic after finishing speaking.
After a while...
One was wearing a gorgeous dress embroidered with exquisite flowers, which made people's eyes dazzle. Her long hair flows like a waterfall and curls naturally on her shoulders, looking soft and charming. Her eyes were as bright as stars, sparkling with enchanting brilliance. The lips are so delicate that one can't help but want to kiss them.
She is very well-dressed, and every detail reveals her nobility and elegance.
She was holding a pot of fine wine in her hand. When she saw Li Shuidao, she opened the seal of the wine. The aroma of the fine wine in the jar was overflowing and intoxicating.
Her steps are light and charming, every step is like walking on a musical score, elegant and rhythmic.
"The little girl Lan Yue'er has met Mr. Li." Lan Yue'er said charmingly.
This woman's every smile is full of temptation.
She walked up to Li Shuidao and lowered her head slightly, deliberately exposing her white neck and sexy collarbone.
She took a deep look at Li Shuidao, and then said, "I wonder if my appearance will satisfy the young master?"
Her voice is deep and magnetic, irresistible.
"Miss Lan, what do you mean?" Li Shuidao asked lightly.
Lan Yue'er smiled softly, knowing that she had successfully attracted Li Shuidao's attention. She spoke slowly, her voice full of temptation, "I am a direct descendant of the Lan family, and Mr. Li is about to marry into our Lan family. Are you willing to let me be your future wife, and enjoy the beauty of life together?"
Li Shuidao was silent for a moment, then asked: "Why should I marry your Lan family? And why should I choose you to be my wife?"
Lan Yue'er stared at Li Shuidao with her beautiful eyes and said, "Because I can help you practice and I can realize your dream."
After listening to Lan Yue'er's words, Li Shuidao said in a disdainful tone: "How do you want to help me practice?"
"Resources! Don't you need a steady stream of cultivation resources?" Lan Yue'er asked.
"Hahahaha..." Li Shuidao stood up and laughed and said, "Of course I need it, but can you give it to me?"
