Chapter 199

She Anrong took the initiative to arrange the marriage...

Let Li An and She Anqi become Taoist couples?

If it was just She Anrong's idea, then Li An would probably agree to it.

Nothing else, this is a profitable business. As the mountain master, She Anrong also has a corresponding status in the demon clan. With such a marriage, Li An will have smooth sailing in the Tiansha Mountains in the future.

Many resources needed to impact the Nascent Soul can also be obtained through She Anqi and She Anrong.

But... Tan Qingxue is also there, which makes him alert.

If this is Tan Qingxue's idea, it means that this matter is not that simple.

What exactly does Tan Qingxue want Li An to do? She actually needs to use She Anqi to win over and bind Li An? !

This is scary to think about.

I am afraid that once this marriage is agreed, Li An will face a lot of troubles and dangers in the future.

Not only does he have to sell his body to She Anqi, but he also has to sell his life to Tan Qingxue!

Crazy?

On the contrary, if they refuse, Madam She and Tan Qingxue may feel that Li An is not so reliable, but they will not do anything to Li An directly.

After all, Li An is still their man, and he has "the merit of following the dragon" to them. At most, they will not take care of Li An in the subsequent development.

But this is completely acceptable!

Thinking of this, Li An immediately sighed, "The mountain master can think so highly of Lin, how fortunate Lin is!"

"What does Lord Lin think?"

"Daoyou An Qi is beautiful, considerate, and kind. She can be called a fairy... But Lin An is not worthy of her."

Li An said: "Lin An's cultivation is low. In the troubled times, she can't even protect herself. How dare I delay the beauty... In addition, Lin has vowed in his early years that he will never marry again in this life. Please forgive me, mountain master."

Finally refused.

Behind the pearl curtain, there was silence for a long time. After a long time, the voice of the Lord of Sheshan sounded: "I understand, Fellow Daoist Lin is devoted to Taoism and does not love the world."

"This is because An Qi is not blessed."

Lin An bowed deeply, "If there is nothing else, Lin An will take his leave first--"

"Master Lin, take care."

Li An then left the hall.

...

After he left.

"Master, I didn't expect that this person would dare to refuse..."

She Anrong was a little confused, and finally said: "It seems that this person is not that reliable."

Li An's loyalty has been discounted by refusing marriage.

But Tan Qingxue had an inexplicable smile in her eyes, and seemed quite happy, saying: "Don't worry about him, if he wants to practice, then let him practice."

She Anrong was surprised. In her opinion, the master valued Li An so much, and Li An dared to refuse so boldly. The master would never let him off easily!

As a result, it was so light?

"You go down. The Vermillion Bird King should be about to find another secret realm of the Heavenly Demon. Then he will counterattack the Demon Realm. Prepare in advance."

Tan Qingxue said lightly, and She Anrong immediately retreated respectfully.

After she left, only Tan Qingxue was left in the hall.

The corners of her mouth slightly outlined an arc, and she murmured: "You are still like this with your heart devoted to the Tao..."

She didn't know what she remembered, and felt happy and sweet, but also very bitter.

Marriage? She couldn't tell why she did this. Did she really want to give Li An a marriage and fulfill his relationship, or was it just a test?

But she didn't have to care so much. Li An refused the marriage... She was actually quite happy.

"You want the immortal way to be evergreen... Then I will wait for you and accompany you on the immortal road."

She stood up, with a graceful and majestic posture, like a beautiful queen who overwhelmed the country, but a layer of demonic aura flashed across her face.

...

Li An has been worried.

He still felt uneasy after rejecting She Anrong and Tan Qingxue.

But after a few months, it was still very quiet. She Anrong never looked for him again, as if she had forgotten him.

Li An was relieved. It seemed that it was just as he guessed.

After all, he was a meritorious man. Even if this matter offended She Anrong and her sister, they would not really do anything to him.

It was in these few months that the reform of the Suzaku King's army was finally completed.

All human cultivators became formal vassal troops. They no longer had to pay rent and spirit stones, and they could get corresponding salaries every month. True Dan cultivators could get one third-grade spirit herb and ten high-grade spirit stones every month, as well as other resources.

These conditions were very generous!

The commander could get double.

Li An was thinking that the demon race reformed so fast and gave so many benefits...there was only one possibility.

It was going to be a war!

Besides, he also heard some gossips that in the territory of another mountain master, a secret realm of heavenly demons was discovered, and the Suzaku King had already got what he wanted.

In short, in Li An's view, this is the calm before the storm.

"I hope I can stay..."

Li An doesn't want to really follow the demons to fight in the demons' heartland. In his view, the Tiansha Mountains are the most suitable place for him.

With sufficient spiritual veins and many resources, if he stays in such a place for two or three hundred years, he will probably be able to attack the Nascent Soul!

In addition, in his view, when the Suzaku King's army sets off, most of them will leave some people to guard the Tiansha Mountains.

She Anrong will definitely bring all her confidants with her when she sets off with the army. After Li An refused the marriage, her loyalty should be greatly reduced in her heart, and she will most likely not bring Li An with her.

"Is Brother Lin here?"

But on this day, She Anqi came to the door.

Li An welcomed She Anqi into Lingjing Peak, and he was quite uneasy.

After all, She Anqi must have known that he refused the marriage proposal... What would she think?

When Li An rejected Zhou Libai, he offended her greatly. Now that he rejected She Anqi, who knows if She Anqi will turn love into hatred and retaliate?

"Fellow Daoist She, your humble home is honored."

Li An said politely.

"Brother Lin, I still prefer you to call me Anqi."

She Anqi was quite direct.

Li An was stunned.

"Brother Lin, what do you think Anqi should do if you refuse my sister's arranged marriage? Sad and painful? Feeling humiliated? Feeling resentful?"

She Anqi smiled and was quite free and easy: "In fact, I knew this would be the result from the beginning, and I tried to persuade my sister, but she was more stubborn than me and insisted on trying."

"Brother Lin, no matter what, we should get along as before, how about it?"

Li An was quite moved when he heard this. She Anqi was indeed very open-minded and was definitely not a petty person. He said, "Anqi is right."

"Brother Lin, I came here to ask you what you are going to do next? The army of the Suzaku King is about to enter the Demon Realm..."

Li An said: "I wonder what arrangements the Lord of She Mountain has made?"

She Anqi smiled and said: "You don't have to trick me. I can tell you clearly that my sister will definitely go with the army, but we have to leave people to defend the Tiansha Mountains."

"I suggest you go to the Demon Realm with us."

"There are many opportunities in the Demon Realm. You know, the territory of the Demon Realm occupied by the Suzaku King is not large, and when the army was defeated, he was still able to take out so many third-grade spiritual medicines to recruit human servants... It is enough to show the richness of the Demon Realm."

"And, this time, the Suzaku King The Vermillion Bird King also got a lot of things from the Heavenly Demon Secret Realm, and his morale was boosted. Once the Vermillion Bird King secured his position in the Demon Realm, all those who participated in this battle would be heroes. At that time, there would be hope for the impact on the Nascent Soul stage——"

She smiled, "I just thought that Brother Lin has always been cautious and not an adventurous person. In addition, because of the marriage a few days ago, I was afraid that you would have a grudge, so I came here specially... Of course, whether to go or stay is up to Brother Lin to decide."

Li An couldn't help but bow solemnly, "Thank you, Anqi!"

"This matter is of great importance, and Lin needs to think carefully."

She Anqi Nodding, she stood up and prepared to leave. Before leaving, she suddenly said, "Brother Lin,"

"Hmm?"

"Look forward to everything. I know that you must have some unknown past that makes you fall into the abyss, despair and pessimism, but you are still young and the road to immortality is long. You can't always indulge in the past, right?"

She Anqi smiled brightly, "Although you rejected me once... but I will still wait for you, see you in the demon realm."

"After all, you saved me many times."

Li An asked in confusion: "I saved you? When?"

"In a dream."

After saying that, She Anqi floated away.

Li An couldn't help but be stunned for a long time...

So that's it...

He couldn't help but feel complicated. When She Anqi came to explore Li An's dreams, Li An showed her many "horror movies", but he would let her out in the end. Unexpectedly, She Anqi fell in love with him because of this.

It is understandable that what She Anqi entered into his dream was also her subconscious deep in her heart. In the great terrors, it was Li An who finally saved her. Under the subtle influence, her heart changed... It seems normal.

"Tsk, you are affectionate everywhere. Maybe I shouldn't call you Li Gou in the future, but Li Qingsheng?"

Shangguan Xiaoxiao spoke.

Li An was calm and indifferent, and said coldly: "I hope there are more people who like me. In this way, I can use more people. I can get resources and benefits from them. At the critical moment, I can let them die for me. Why not?"

Emotions?

In his eyes, they are just ripples on the long immortal road.

Just look back, where are the old friends?

The two lonely graves on the Lingzhi Mountain of Xuanyang Sect, Wang Dazhu who was killed by Chen Qingling, Mu Qingwan who married the wrong person and was tortured to death by Zhao Xianchuan, and Xu Qiuhui who was good at calculating, and Gu Hong who gave everything to him...

They are all gone. If he had been a close friend with these people, a lover who would live and die together, how would he deal with it when all of them died and turned into dust?

The immortal path is evergreen, but the immortal path is also ruthless.

Who can accompany him to the end?

In the previous life, he had looked down upon grudges, love and hatred, life and death, so in this life, he only wanted a ruthless immortality.

"Li Gou, Li Gou, everything is calculated. In the end, it is just a ruthless immortality. Don't you feel too lonely?"

Shangguan Xiaoxiao was very interested.

Li An said calmly: "No."

Shangguan Xiaoxiao suddenly laughed, "No, you will."

"You are afraid, you are afraid... You are a coward. You are afraid of being moved, and even more afraid of being emotional, because you know that you are as weak as a dog, as embarrassed as a dog, right, right? You..."

Li An silently closed the spiritual platform and did not listen to her nonsense anymore.

What nonsense!

...

Two months later.

The demon army finally set off.

Li An stayed behind in Tiansha Mountain Range, taking over the position of mountain master, managing all affairs and defending the area!

...
