Under the scorching sun, two figures disappeared in the clouds and mist, causing the Tianyan Sect disciples who were still sowing plants in the fields to squint and watch.
One of the clothed men straightened up, hammered his lower back and couldn't help but sigh.
"There has been a drought recently. I thought someone from above was sent to cast rain spells, but I didn't expect it to be a flying sword-wielding monk again."
"Isn't it?"
His companion wiped his face with surprise.
"Why do I feel like it's raining..."
"Are you feeling wrong? With such a strong sun, where does the rain come from?"
"Yes, after all, whose rain smells like this..."
——
"..."
An Muxi covered her mouth and did not dare to say anything. It was not until she was far away from the field that she relaxed completely. She glared at Chu Ming angrily and pointed at her bulging cheeks, like an angry hamster.
"I didn't know your mouth was so small."
Chu Ming was also troubled and couldn't express his pain. He smiled helplessly and took out a jade bottle from his space bag.
"Let's make do with this first."
"Ahem!"
An Muxi coughed a few times, rinsed his mouth and wiped the corners of his mouth, his cheeks turned red and he said angrily.
"Just this once, never again!"
"yes!"
Chu Ming looked serious, but he didn't seem to care about it in his heart.
After all, once you start something, it will be difficult to go back...
For example, for women's clothing, there are only zero and countless times.
The same goes for this kind of thing. As long as you are addicted, you will have to sit down on your knees and look up at me pitifully every minute.
"Chu Ming, control the spirit sword and fly faster. We have wasted too much time on the road."
"good"
…
The Yuelao Hall is located at the foot of the left side of the main peak. It is square in shape and somewhat similar in style to various buildings in the Forbidden City. The overhanging red eaves are covered with lanterns, creating a joyful scene.
However, there were not many people in the hall. There were only dozens of newlyweds registering with the steward of Yuelao Hall.
This is easy to understand. After all, the journey of cultivating immortality is inherently lonely. If something unexpected happens, the Taoist couple will be separated forever.
Therefore, even though Tianyan Sect provides generous rewards to disciples who become Taoist companions, there are still many people who choose to seal their hearts with cement, practice alone, and walk outside the world of mortals.
"What should we do?"
As soon as he entered the palace gate, Chu Ming looked around curiously, and then he was pulled by An Muxi to the steward to register information.
"Please give me the dirt of your Taoist monk's practice."
The person in charge is an old man who is over a hundred years old. He has a bald head and a white beard. He looks quite majestic with a calm and angry look.
He took the sheets from Chu Ming and looked at them carefully, which really made An Muxi's cheeks feel hot.
I really don’t understand what Yue Laodian wants this thing to do.
No wonder no one... Can anyone really come up with such a rule?
"Do you think there is anything wrong?"
"Where's Luo Hong?"
The steward looked at Chu Ming indifferently and said such dirty words in a serious tone, which really shocked An Muxi.
"My wife has a special physique, so..."
Chu Ming quietly placed a medium-grade spiritual stone in the palm of the steward's hand, which made him raise his eyebrows. He put it away without leaving a trace and took out a heart-shaped bronze medal, then waved his hand impatiently.
"Okay, you have registered through Taoist Companions, and you can take the token to enter Longqingquan and go."
"Thanks"
Chu Ming chuckled and immediately pulled An Muxi away, feeling relieved in his heart.
This old man looks like a selfless person, but he is quite smooth in everything he does.
"etc!"
?
Why did your face suddenly change after I complimented you?
Chu Ming turned around uneasily, and the steward walked out from behind the table, showing a forced expression with a smile on his face.
"We have a 'Hydrangea Ball Competition' specially held here for new Taoist couples. According to rumors, the first place will receive the blessing of Yue Lao and be given the title of 'First Taoist Couple' by our Yue Lao Temple. The future will be bright.
You will be more happy and happy for a long time, and you will even get a beautiful gift. Do you want to participate?"
"..."
Is there any significance to this kind of competition?
What I'm most concerned about now is when I can enter Long Qingquan to see my senior sister's swimsuit... No, I want to enter Long Qingquan to improve my cultivation.
Chu Ming sighed softly and was about to refuse, but An Muxi on the side suddenly nodded in agreement.
"Okay, let's join in"
"!?"
Chu Ming turned his head in astonishment and looked at An Muxi with a confused expression.
The senior sister who has never been competitive would actually participate in such a boring competition?
What on earth is she thinking?
"Okay, then please come with me."
The steward led the two people towards the interior of Yuelao Hall. After passing through the long corridor, they saw an extremely spacious... martial arts platform?
???
Chu Ming was speechless for a moment, and he didn't know where to start complaining about why there was such a special place for people to fight inside the Yuelao Palace.
Is it possible that martial arts competitions to recruit brides are also popular here?
Or hold the best martial arts tournament in the world?
"This way the opponent will be determined."
The old man pointed at two figures not far away, his expression full of expectation.
"They are the only new Taoist couples registered this week, so the outcome will be determined by one game."
When Chu Ming heard this, he looked in the direction pointed by the old man, and his pupils suddenly shrank.
"Ah Shai!?"
"Brother Chu!?"
The old friend was very happy to meet him. Chu Ming stepped forward and slapped Xu Shuai hard on the shoulder, which made him burst into tears and said softly while shaking his paper fan.
"Brother Chu, you are so harsh... It seems that you are doing well recently."
"I really didn't expect to meet you here."
Chu Ming's eyes were full of surprise.
"I never thought someone like you could have a Taoist companion!"
"Brother Chu, your words are so hurtful..."
"Sorry sorry"
Chu Ming coughed a few times to cover up his inner embarrassment, and joked with a smile.
"What? Are you also interested in the title of 'First Taoist Companion'?"
"well"
Xu Shuai sighed heavily and looked forward with a hint of resentment and helplessness.
"My wife is quite competitive and likes these false reputations. There is nothing I can do about it."
"Your wife?"
Chu Ming followed his line of sight and found that An Muxi, who had been staying aside, was nowhere to be seen. Instead, he was glaring angrily at a short, cute girl who was also wearing a red dress and had a bun on her head...
etc!
Is there something wrong?
girl?
Looking at that cute young face, Chu Ming suddenly seemed to have thought of something and took a few steps away from Xu Shuai in horror, looking at him with eyes full of contempt.
"Brother Xu, I thought you were a gentleman, but I didn't expect you to be a lolita!"
"you misunderstood"
Xu Shuai waved his hand and hurriedly explained
"Hong Ling is over a hundred years old, but she looks a little younger."
"Uh-huh!?"
Looking at the little girl standing opposite An Muxi, who only reached her waist, Chu Ming couldn't help but twitch his cheeks slightly.
