"Marriage?" Jing Li and Shan Nai asked in unison.

Jing Li looked at Jin Ye in confusion, "What kind of marriage?"

Jin Ye quickly covered his mouth, "Oh, I missed it."

Shi Ning said helplessly: "Jin Ye, stop joking."

"Ignore it. Jin Ye, I think it comes out at once."

Although Jing Li was a little confused, he didn't ask further.

But Shan Nai asked relentlessly: "What kind of marriage? Why didn't I know about it?"

Shi Ning looked at Jin Ye with a look of helplessness.

Jin Ye hugged Shan Nai and said, "You little kitten, why are you worrying about all this?"

Shan Nai patted Jin Ye with his paws unconvinced, "Why can't I know?"

Jin Ye reassured, "Wait until you learn how to read. I'll tell you later."

Shi Ning changed the subject and said, "Jin Ye, come to my place on New Year's Eve."

Jin Ye put down the mountain and said, "Of course I'm coming. It's much more lively here than other places." "

Jin Ye is indeed right. Compared to other disciples' courtyards, Shi Ning's place is indeed much more lively. There is a cat, a dragon, and a dog sealed in a book.

"Senior brother will also be here on New Year's Eve. I will ask Senior Brother Gu and Senior Sister Su then." Shi Ning thought about it, "I bought a lot of New Year's goods at Fuxingmen last time and made some dumplings."

"That should be enough . "I'll see if there are any dried fruit snacks when I go down the mountain. "

"It's been a long time since the Chinese New Year was so lively."

"We can also buy some firecrackers and fireworks at night."

He said excitedly: "I want it too. I want it too."

Jin Ye clicked his tongue and said in disgust: "It's okay to catch some fish with your claws, just set off fireworks."

Shan Nai was unconvinced and twisted into a ball with Jin Ye. , Shi Ning continued to prepare various things needed for the New Year, and suddenly thought of Jing Li, and asked Jing Li: "Do you mind celebrating the New Year with senior brothers and the others then?"

Shi Ning still remembered that Jing Li was afraid of the society and was unwilling to see him. people. What if Jing Li doesn’t want to see his senior brother?

Jing Li thought for a moment and said, "It doesn't matter."

Jing Li has almost cultivated himself these days, and when the New Year is over, it should be the day to say goodbye to Shi Ning.

Shi Ning: "That's good. I was worried that you wouldn't want to celebrate the New Year with everyone."

After watching Shi Ning walk out of the yard, Jin Ye quietly approached Jing Li with a mysterious look on his face.

Jing Li's golden vertical pupils squinted at Jin Ye.

"?"

Jin Ye rubbed his hands and said, "Jing Li, how old are you?"

Jing Li hesitated and said, "About a hundred years old."

Jin Ye let out an ah, "I thought you were several hundred years old?" " I didn't expect you to be so young."

"So are you an adult?"

Jing Li: "Of course."

"But why are you asking this?" Jing Li said warily.

Jin Ye patted his sleeves, sat on the recliner and said, "Sister Jiang passed away, and Shi Mian is no longer here. Shi Ning's parents also passed away early. As Sister Jiang's sworn sisters, I can be considered Shi Ning's. Elder, I have to worry about this kind of thing."

Jing Li was even more confused, "This kind of thing?"

Jin Ye glanced at Jing Li angrily, "Let me tell you, this kind of thing, I am. Come on. You are young and don’t understand.”

“Especially you, you must choose a good-looking portrait when you become an adult.”

Jing Li was about to say something, but Jin Ye said in disgust: “Forget it, you male spiritual beasts have always done it. It's all devoid of aesthetics, let me worry about it."

"Wait until I get down the mountain to pick out some more portraits."

Jin Ye made the arrangements clearly without saying a word.

Shi Ning brought several immature Ganoderma lucidum back from Fuxingmen and transplanted them into Lingche's yard. The sect had ordered that she could not plant these before she reached the Nascent Soul stage, so she had to put them in Ling Che's yard and take care of them from time to time.

Just when Shi Ning went to Ling Che's place that day, he happened to meet Gu Chong, Xiaoqing and Su Jinjin coming over.

"Gu Chong pays homage to Master."

"Su Jinjin pays homage to Master."

"Xiao Qing pays homage to Master." Xiao Qing struggled with the words and decided to call her Master like Gu Chong.

Ling Che also heard what Shi Ning said about Xiao Qing's transformation into a human form, and said to the three of them, "Come in."

"What's the matter?" Ling Che asked.

Shi Ning silently watered the spiritual plants and looked at the three of them.

Su Jinjin poked Gu Chong with her elbow, and Gu Chong's eyes were a little flustered. Xiao Qing, on the other hand, stood up and said, "Master, I am going to marry Gu Chong."

Ling Che had just drank a glass of wine, but before he could finish it, he coughed violently when he heard Xiao Qing's words. Then he looked at Shi Ning, his eyes revealing why you didn't tell me this.

Shi Ning was also helpless and could only blink to show that he was innocent. Mainly for this kind of thing, it is more appropriate for the parties involved to come forward and speak out.

Su Jinjin quickly asked with concern: "Master, are you okay?"

Ling Che waved his hand, "Nothing."

"What did you just say?" Ling Che looked at Xiaoqing and asked.

Xiao Qing repeated loudly, "I want to marry Gu Chong."

Ling Che looked at Gu Chong, "What about you?"

Gu Chong looked embarrassed, "Master, you know me. I have always had only one in my heart. I don’t know anything about these things, and I’m not interested in them.”

It’s rare for the hot-tempered Gu Chong to be in such a difficult situation.

Ling Che said to Xiao Qing again: "Do you know what Gu Chong means?"

Xiao Qing nodded, "It doesn't matter, I believe one day I will let him understand my sincerity towards him."

Ling Che has been single for many years and really has no choice. Deal with these things: "You should deal with the emotional matters yourself. Apart from this, what else is there?"

Su Jinjin said: "We would like to ask Master to see if Xiaoqing's sudden transformation was due to eating the Transformation Fruit."

"And will it be harmful to the body?"

Ling Che rubbed the wine glass with his fingers and shouted Xiao Qing's name.

Xiao Qing stretched out her wrist and said obediently, "Thank you, Master."

"You don't have to call me Master."

Xiao Qing said oh, and immediately changed her words, "Elder."

In a flash, Ling Che placed three fingers on her Xiaoqing's wrist.

"Elder, how is Xiaoqing?" Shi Ning asked.

Ling Che took back his hand and said, "Nothing."

"That's good." Su Jinjin sighed.

Gu Chong's expression also relaxed a lot, not as nervous as before.

Xiao Qing suddenly said to Shi Ning: "Shi Ning, how are you spending New Year's Eve? With Shan Nai?"

"Why don't you come to our place. The three of us can spend time together?" Xiao Qing invited.

Shi Ning asked: "Are the three of you spending New Year's Eve together?"

Su Jinjin: "If Master is with us, it will be four people. What about you?"

"I am with □□ and Jin Ye. How about you come with me? This?" Shi Ning asked.

"Okay." Xiaoqing agreed readily.

Shi Ning turned to Ling Che and asked, "Where are the elders? Are you with us?"

Ling Che said, "I won't join in your fun anymore. I'll spend time with these old guys."

"Okay, then I'll Bring the wine over then," Su Jinjin said excitedly.

Shi Ning smiled and said, "No problem, I have a lot of New Year's goods here and I'll be waiting for you then."

When Shi Ning returned to his residence, he thought for a moment that he had entered the wrong door.

Rows of candied melons and fruit snacks were piled at the door, blocking the gravel path.

Shan Nai heard the news of Shi Ning's return in the house and jumped out.

"Ning Ning!"

Shan Nai shouted Shi Ning's name excitedly.

Shi Ning saw that Shan Nai had a book in his mouth. He took it and asked curiously, "What is this?"

"This is the book Jin Ye bought for me."

"Book?" Shi Ning flipped through a few pages at random. Page, "The Legend of White Snake?"

"Yes!" Shan Nai replied, "Jin Ye is telling me the Legend of White Snake and teaching me how to read."

Shi Ning touched Shan Nai's head and said, "Study hard."

"Did Jin Ye buy these?" Shi Ning looked over and asked.

Shan Nai nodded, "Yes. Jin Ye bought a lot of things, and we can eat them for a long time."

Jin Ye appeared out of nowhere, holding a lot of fireworks in his hand.

"Set off fireworks tonight!"

"It's only twenty-eight today," Shi Ning said.

Jin Ye said nonchalantly: "It doesn't matter if it's twenty-eight or thirty, you can put it out if you want. I bought a lot."

Shi Ning looked at the layers of fireworks exploding in the corner, "You've got a firecracker." Shop?"

"Why so many?" Shi Ning sighed.

Jin Ye stuffed the fireworks into Shi Ning's hand and said, "The Chinese New Year is meant to be lively."

Shan Nai came over and said, "Hurry up and give me the rest."

"Here it comes!" Jin Ye hugged Shan Nai Nai entered the room.

Shi Ning shook his head helplessly from behind, these two living treasures had finally met.

The sun was shining slantingly in the courtyard, and Shi Ning was sitting on the deck chair, thinking about the meals he was preparing for New Year's Eve. Shan Nai squatted on a small bench and listened to Jin Ye's speech book. Jing Li was talking to Zhuo Meng at the table.

The scene in the courtyard is harmonious and comfortable.

Until Shan Nai suddenly shouted and said: "I understand!"

Shi Ning turned his head and asked: "Understand what?"

"It is the grace of saving my life. I promise you with my life."

"Xu Xian saved the white snake, so a thousand years later Bai She went to Xu Xian to repay his kindness." After saying that, Shan Nai shook his head proudly, "Am I right?"

"Yes, it makes sense."

Jin Ye concluded, "In the story book, it's a life-saving grace. I have to pledge myself to you."

Zhuomeng suddenly interrupted and said, "Miss Shi Ning, if you save me from the book, I can pledge myself to you."

Shi Ning was still thinking about what to have for the New Year's Eve dinner . Dishes, when I suddenly heard the words "catching dreams", I was speechless for a moment.

But Jin Ye said: "Forget it, you scared the villagers to death with your appearance, you want to give me your life, but I still don't agree."

Zhu Meng said unconvinced: "I didn't ask you to rescue me. I told Shi Ning.

"I am Shi Ning's elder, and I disagree on behalf of her family!" Jin Ye, as an in-depth facial control person, definitely doesn't want to see Shi Ning find someone with such poor aesthetics and scary appearance. Taoist couple.

Shi Ning persuaded him: "Okay, don't argue."

Shi Ning said to Zhu Meng: "Don't worry, if my grandfather entrusts me with the dream, I will definitely let you out."

Before Zhu Meng could say anything, Shi Ning said quickly: "You don't have to pledge yourself to me, I can't bear it."

Shi Ning was not interested in the matter of Tao companions, especially the matter of choosing a spiritual beast as a Tao companion.

Zhu Meng barked and said, "Am I not worthy enough to catch the Dream Dog? I know astronomy first and geography second."

"I don't know how many female cultivators want to see me. It's harder than going to the sky."

Jin Ye: "Oh, do you want to see how ugly you are when I meet you?"

"No, no, no, I'm not good enough for you." Shi Ning refused Sanlian and quickly explained.

Jin Ye said disgustedly: "Look at how you look, you are so fierce. No female cultivator could like you."

Zhuo Meng was unconvinced, "I can still practice. I can practice whatever Shi Ning likes. Like."

Shi Ning rubbed his temples and said, "Stop arguing." Shi Ning admired them for being able to argue.

"I'm going to make noodles and make dumplings later." Listening to Jin Ye and Zhuo Meng saying each other, Shi Ning felt his head grow bigger and hurriedly fled the scene.

Zhu Meng is still unwilling to give up, and even plans to practice seriously and improve his appearance after he comes out.

"Just practice according to the pictures you bought." Zhu Meng said.

Jin Ye said loudly: "No, I didn't buy it for you."

"I don't care if you bought it for me, I saw it anyway." Zhuo Meng stuck out his tongue and said arrogantly.

Jin Ye was so angry that he stamped his feet and wanted to tear them apart. The book that broke the dream left him no place to stay.

Shan Nai tilted his head and asked: "What portrait?"

Jin Ye said mysteriously: "It's the portrait I bought for Jing Li to practice."

Shan Nai was unhappy, "Why don't you buy it for me? I want to practice too."

Jin Ye said, "How fast are you practicing eating dried fish? It will take hundreds of years before you can turn into a human form."

Shan Nai snorted unhappily. , walked away with his tail raised.

Jin Ye approached Jing Li and said, "I bought a lot of portraits. You should take a good look at them."

Jing Li: "Me?"

"Otherwise?"

Jin Ye analyzed: "Now that you are an adult, you must be able to Transformation is not far away. I was able to transform when I became an adult. "

So, you have to prepare early. You can't be like a dog. The person who practices is not a dog, but the dog is not a dog." The dead man has been locked up in a book for more than five hundred years. "

A monkey made a big fuss in the Heavenly Palace even though he was kept there for a long time."

Zhuo Meng was hurt because he was pulled down for no apparent reason.

Jing Li didn't expect that the age he mentioned casually at that time would actually cause this incident. He would have told her younger if he had known it.

"Actually, I am also thinking about Shi Ning. As Shi Ning's spiritual beast, it will be too ugly for you to turn into a human form in the future, and it will also embarrass Shi Ning. Isn't it right? It makes sense."

Jing Li explained: "Actually, I didn't form a contract with Shi Ning."

"It doesn't matter whether we formed a contract or not, but everyone will think that you are Shi Ning's spiritual beast. Your ugly appearance will still affect Shi Ning's reputation. "

Okay, Jing Li thought to let them go. He will be leaving soon, so let them have fun in the meantime.

Seeing that Jing Li was very enlightened, Jin Ye decided to teach him the secret of his cultivation at that time.

"Starting from today, the first thing you do when you open your eyes is to look at the portrait, and the first thing you do when you close your eyes is to look at the portrait."

"Even when you are practicing, you must always think about this portrait."

"Jin Cheng

When it comes to gold and stone, believe me, when you become an adult, your appearance will definitely be first-rate. I paid a lot of money for these portraits. Don't let me down." Li glanced at the portrait and hummed perfunctorily.

Shan Nai was also looking at the portrait and said angrily: "I want a portrait too."

Jin Ye patted Shan Nai's head and said, "When you can cultivate into human form in the future, I can also buy a bunch of portraits to hang. On the wall, let you see enough."

Shan Nai snorted and reluctantly agreed.

"You bought more portraits for me than Jing Li."

"That's natural. I'll buy you a few hundred, and you can choose as you like."

Only then was Shan Nai satisfied, "Let's continue with the speech."

"Where did you talk about just now? asked Jinye.

"It talks about the White Snake meeting Xu Xian again by the West Lake."

After Zhuimeng heard the Legend of the White Snake, he whispered to Jing Li: "Have you heard of the Legend of the White Snake?"

Jing Li: "No."

"You haven't heard of it . Such a famous story?" Zhuimeng said in surprise.

Jing Li didn't want to pay attention to Zhu Meng anymore. Is there anything wrong with not hearing this story?

Zhu Meng couldn't stop shaking his head, "For a person like you who doesn't understand romance, no wonder his love life has been rough."

Although Jing Li ignored Zhu Meng, he still heard what Zhu Meng said.

The four words "love is bumpy" have nothing to do with him. He has never been on the road of love at all.

Zhuo Meng said seriously: "For the sake of my fate with you, I will tell you secretly. You must not tell anyone else." Jing

Li glanced sideways at Zhuo Meng: "If you have anything to say, tell him quickly."

The dream said meaningfully: "You and your destined person are deeply in love,

and you will miss each other if you don't pay attention." "Despite the disparity in status, neither of you has given up on each other in your hearts. She doesn't care at all. It's the identity of Long. You are willing to go through hardships and give up everything for her."

"As for the final result, it depends on whether you can grasp it."

Jing Li listened to Zhu Meng's words silently. . But I am anxious to catch my dream.

"I took a huge risk to tell you secretly, but you didn't say anything?"

"At least I have to say thank you."

Jing Li said slowly: "I remember you said that you are not Yue Lao " Zhu Meng

: "Of course I'm not Yue Lao, but your relationship is so special that I don't know about

it." "Of course I don't know about ordinary spiritual beasts liking their masters."

But he didn't take Zhu Meng's words to heart at all, because in his heart at the moment, nothing was more important than practicing and ascending. Not to mention those who are destined to be there and not.

It's just that not only Jing Li heard these words, Shan Nai on the side also listened clearly with his ears pricked up, thinking about what Zhu Meng's words meant with his little head.

This year’s New Year’s Eve is a rare day for relaxation at Chengtianmen. Because Shi Ning was busy everywhere, Jin Ye also distributed the over-purchased New Year's goods to the peaks, and lights and colors were everywhere, creating a joyful atmosphere.

It was rare for so many people to gather in Suiyu Courtyard.

Gu Chong, Xiaoqing, Su Jinjin, Yan Huanming, Jin Ye, Shi Ning, Jing Li Shannai, and Zhuo Meng who was sealed in the book, Shi Ning also arranged a place for him.

"The dumplings are here!"

Gu Chong brought a large bowl of steaming, crystal clear dumplings to the table.

Xiao Qing also followed behind with dipping sauce and bowls and chopsticks. After practicing for a while, Xiao Qing became very proficient in walking in human form.

Shi Ning also took out a thousand wines and filled them with everyone, "This is specially given to me by Head Feiyun." Yan Huanming

smiled and said, "Then we are in a good mood today."

"That's right, Junior Sister is here. , it’s enough for us to just enjoy it.”

“If it weren’t for Junior Sister, I haven’t celebrated the New Year in such a lively way for many years.”

Shi Ning poured wine for everyone, only passing by Jing Li, Jin Ye, Xiao Qing and Shan Nai. At that time, I switched to fruit wine.

Xiao Qing said unconvinced: "Shi Ning, don't be partial, I can drink too!"

Gu Chong reminded: "You can't drink Qianjiu Spirit Beast, it will show its original shape."

Although Hui Chong has no relationship with Xiao Qing. Love, but after all, it is a spiritual beast that has been taken care of for half a year, so it is inevitable to care and remind him.

After listening to Gu Chong's words, Xiao Qing immediately changed his mind, "I just drink fruit wine."

Jin Ye swallowed a mouthful of dumplings and said vaguely: "The smart beast is already eating the dumplings, while the stupid beast is still chatting with me." The master said that the fruit wine is enough for me."

Jin Ye deliberately said the second half of the sentence in Xiao Qing's accent. Xiao Qing was embarrassed and annoyed, so she had to say, "Ignore you."

Yan Huanming also sighed: " It has been so lively for a long time.

"How did you spend the New Year last year?" Jin Ye asked suddenly.

Yan Huanming recalled: "It's no different from usual, just practice."

Jin Ye snorted, "It's so boring, no wonder Chengtian Sect is so powerful. The disciples can't even celebrate the New Year."

"What about you? Isn't it the same?" Ye turned to ask Gu Chong and Su Jinjin.

Su Jinjin said: "They are almost the same. I didn't even eat dumplings last year and was busy practicing. If it weren't for Shi Ning, I'm afraid this year would be the same."

Jin Ye also said: "How could Shi Ning be as boring as you guys? How did you spend the New Year last year? Really?"

Jin Ye turned the topic to Shi Ning, and everyone present was a little silent.

Because this time last year, Shi Ning was still unconscious.

After Shi Ning heard this, he paused for a few seconds and said, "Last year during the Chinese New Year, I was sleeping."

Jin Ye didn't know the inside story and just thought that Shi Ning had slept, "That's boring. Fortunately, you don't plan to sleep this year. "

Yan Huanming took the topic and said, "Yes, Ning Ning will not sleep again during the New Year."

Shi Ning took a sip of Qianjiang Wine and said, "Yes, the New Year will be lively in the future."

Gu Chong raised his glass. Said: "Yes, everyone will celebrate the New Year together from now on."

"I wish..." Gu Chong couldn't think of a suitable New Year word.

Shi Ning raised his glass and felt a lot of emotions at the moment, "I wish you all have this day every year, and this day every year, and we can celebrate the New Year together next year."

"That's right."

Jing Li drank the fruit wine silently, thinking in his heart that he might be alone again next year during the Chinese New Year.

After finishing his meal, Jin Ye said, "Let's set off fireworks. I bought a lot of beautiful fireworks!"

Fireworks of various colors lit up in the dark night sky, lighting up half of the sky and attracting the attention of many disciples.

There were cheers and laughter in the small Suiyu courtyard. As the fireworks lit up again, Shi Ning said to Jing Li beside him: "Happy New Year."

"Happy New Year."

The New Year's atmosphere enveloped Chengtian Gate, and amid the laughter and laughter , everyone made the best wishes for the New Year.

On the opposite side of Suiyuyuan is the residence of the head of Zhao Zheng.

Zhao Tiantian knelt down among several elders, stretched out three fingers and swore: "If you tell a lie, you will be punished by heaven and earth."

Huang Xueping frowned and said, "Why do you swear such a poisonous oath when you are celebrating the New Year?"

Zhao Tiantian's eyes Full of hatred, "It is precisely because after the Chinese New Year, Shi Ning will turn twenty. I want to inform the elders about this."

"The original Shi Ning was killed long ago, and now Shi Ning in Sui Yuyuan Ning is the one who seizes the house."
