Gou Zaixiu Immortal World Gets A Wife

Chapter 62: The Art of Tea (Seeking Collection)

"Coincidentally, my husband is exhausted both physically and mentally and needs a pot of refreshing tea to relieve his fatigue. I trouble Fellow Daoist Song to assist," Qin Jiyue nodded slightly and invited Song Zhiqiao in with a smile.

Seeing this, Song Zhiqiao was slightly taken aback.

What's happening today?

Qin Jiyue, who used to have a sharp tongue and concealed knives in her smile, is surprisingly easy to talk to today?

Did the sun rise from the west today?

Or is she setting a trap for me inside?

Song Zhiqiao felt a little uneasy in her heart.

But when she saw Li Gege, whom she hadn't seen for several days, some of her worries eased.

And when she saw the kind and considerate Wen Jiejie, her worries disappeared completely.

Although Qin Jiyue was somewhat dominant, she was quite gentle in front of Li Gege and Wen Jiejie.

As long as they were by her side, Song Zhiqiao didn't worry about being bullied by Qin Jiyue.

"No need to trouble, thank you, Sister Qin," Song Zhiqiao still had a smile on her face, showing no signs of complaint. She stepped over the threshold and entered Ping'an Garden.

The reason she worked so hard to get close to Li Guanxuan was actually because her aptitude was too poor.

To return to the Song family in Daheng, she either had to successfully build her foundation before the age of sixty or marry and have children...

The child not only had to be surnamed Song, but also had to have spiritual roots.

Song Zhiqiao was already in her thirties this year, with only Qi Refining at the third level and a low-grade spiritual root in the four elements. Although she had the identity of a first-order formation master, it was still only a low-grade one.

Unless there were unexpected circumstances, it would be difficult for her to successfully build her foundation in this lifetime.

But she was still relatively lucky. At least her father was willing to take care of her, unlike Li Guanxuan, who had been struggling alone in the Immortal Ruins all along.

Song Zhiqiao knew in her heart that with her aptitude, she couldn't marry someone weaker than herself, as the chances of the child having spiritual roots would be very low.

And how could those stronger than her tolerate the child having the mother's surname?

So...

Song Zhiqiao set her sights on Li Guanxuan.

Over the years, she had witnessed Li Guanxuan's cultivation from the sixth level of Qi Refining to the eighth level, and now he was an outstanding second-order alchemist and talisman master. Building his foundation before the age of sixty was definitely not a problem.

Most importantly, Li Guanxuan was also from Daheng Yongning Prefecture!

As long as she could marry Li Guanxuan, even if it was just as a concubine, she would have a chance to return to Daheng with him... This was the third way she could think of to return to Daheng.

However, Li Guanxuan seemed to have seen through her thoughts and always treated her with indifference, which made Song Zhiqiao feel helpless.

As she walked inside, Song Zhiqiao soon smelled a scent of elixir, lingering in her nose and not dissipating for a long time.

It's the Foundation Building Pill...

Song Zhiqiao thought to herself, but she didn't show any surprise on her face. She admired Li Guanxuan even more in her heart.

If she remembered correctly, Li Guanxuan, like her, also had a low-grade spiritual root in the four elements.

But now, he was a sought-after second-order alchemist and talisman master.

The shopkeeper Zheng from Myriad Manifestations Pavilion even called him his brother.

Following behind Qin Jiyue, Song Zhiqiao always displayed the etiquette and temperament expected of a scholarly family.

Upon seeing Li Guanxuan and Wen Rongxin, Song Zhiqiao gracefully bowed and sweetly smiled, "Greetings, Brother Li, Sister Wen."

"No, no need to be polite, please have a seat," Wen Rongxin stepped forward and helped Song Zhiqiao to sit beside her.

"Thank you, Sister Wen," Song Zhiqiao nodded slightly, feeling touched in her heart.

In the past, she thought Wen Rongxin was just being polite.

But as she visited and interacted with them more and more, she realized that Wen Rongxin had always been so gentle and considerate.

"My father sent some Spring Mountain Nurturing Spirit Tea. This tea has the effect of improving eyesight and calming the mind. I brought it specifically for the two sisters and Brother Li to taste," Song Zhiqiao said with a smile. "Let me brew a pot of tea for the two sisters and Brother Li first."

"No need to trouble."

Li Guanxuan nodded slightly.

Then, Song Zhiqiao took out a complete set of tea utensils from the storage bag.

Clean hands, warm cups and pots, put tea, wash tea, brew, feel the spring breeze, seal the pot...

The process of tea ceremony was performed by Song Zhiqiao with a sense of beauty.

From a side view, Song Zhiqiao's figure was slim and slender, with a perfectly shaped chest, not too big or too small, and a full and moderate curve of the buttocks, which was elastic and would be even more charming if she wore a cheongsam.

Pouring tea into cups, pouring the tea back into the pot...

Song Zhiqiao then served the tea with both hands, and a spiritual aura lingered around the tea, with a fragrance that hit the nostrils.

"Good tea."

Li Guanxuan looked at the Ling tea with consistent color, fragrance, and taste, then looked at Song Zhiqiao and praised, "Good tea art."

"Thank you for the compliment, Brother Li."

Song Zhiqiao smiled even more happily, and her two shallow dimples became even more charming.

In her spare time over the years, Wen Rongxin would also take the time to read some books and understood that she needed to smell the fragrance before tasting tea in order to better appreciate the taste and artistic conception of the tea.

"It's indeed good."

Qin Jiyue took a sip and raised an eyebrow.

Although she used to not like this woman who pretended to be weak, she had to admit that the other party's tea art and etiquette made people feel comfortable both physically and mentally.

"Fellow Daoist Song, you invited us to drink tea, so it's only right for us to invite you to dinner. Don't leave tonight." Wen Rongxin said with a smile.

Song Zhiqiao was taken aback and then said somewhat embarrassedly, "Wouldn't that be too much trouble?"

"It's not a bother. We've known each other for so many years, we should sit down and have a meal together." Qin Jiyue said beside her.

"Okay, thank you."

Song Zhiqiao was somewhat surprised by the favor she received. She always felt that Qin Jiyue was acting a bit strange today, but she couldn't quite put her finger on it.

However...

The hostility towards her from the other party seemed to have weakened quite a bit.

This was still a good thing after all.

The dinner was very sumptuous, at least making Song Zhiqiao feel that as a guest, she was being given enough attention.

Li Guanxuan had been secretly observing Wen Rongxin and Qin Jiyue, and he also felt that the two women were acting a bit strange today.

It wasn't until Qin Jiyue occasionally chatted with Song Zhiqiao and opened up topics that Li Guanxuan roughly guessed that the two women were accepting her as a concubine...

All the efforts of the past year or so had finally paid off, but Li Guanxuan still didn't know Song Zhiqiao's intentions.

After all, the Velvet Flower Spirit Tree required a mutual understanding between the two parties.

It wouldn't recognize a relationship based on seeking physical and mental comfort.

And Li Guanxuan wouldn't waste that kind of effort, nor would he let his descendants die in vain.

After dinner, Song Zhiqiao insisted on cleaning up the dishes and didn't leave until she finished washing them.

Wen Rongxin couldn't persuade her, so she could only accompany her and work together.

In the hall, Li Guanxuan stared at Qin Jiyue with a strange expression, but didn't say anything.

"What are you looking at..."

Qin Jiyue also knew that her husband had discovered their intentions, so she pretended not to know and threw herself into his arms, with a hint of coquetry in her tone.

"Aren't you worried that Song Fellow Daoist might not be willing?" Li Guanxuan asked.

"Tsk, don't worry, husband. Women understand women the best. Every time she looks at you with that kind of gaze, it's not just admiration, it's pure admiration. We are willing to accept her into the Li family, she will be overjoyed, how could she not be willing." Qin Jiyue smiled.

"Is that so?"

Li Guanxuan was taken aback for a moment. He thought Song Zhiqiao was planning to manipulate him.

"Don't worry, husband. If she's not willing, we won't force her."

Qin Jiyue nestled in Li Guanxuan's arms, greedily inhaling his scent, and whispered, "I'll accompany my sister in cultivation for another three months. By then, she should be able to break through to the sixth level of Body Refining. At that time, I will go into seclusion for Foundation Building, which could take as long as two years or as short as one year. You mustn't let my sister continue to be so tired, and not for so long."

"Okay, no problem." Li Guanxuan agreed with a smile.

"Song Fellow Daoist is still a bit afraid of me. When she's at home, she probably won't dare to make any trouble. So it's best to marry her during the time I'm in seclusion, otherwise she might cause some misunderstanding due to nervousness."

Qin Jiyue slowly spoke, and Li Guanxuan listened patiently, feeling very relieved in his heart.
