Madam, please respect my profession.

Chapter 123 Ling Fairy is in trouble, Queer rides the cat

It doesn't seem difficult to guess that she has a bad temper and is a female disciple of the Night Doctor's Xiuyinfang.

An image of a young girl with great potential and a turbulent personality emerged in Lu Zhan's mind.

"It's the famous Jiang Ningshuang." Yuan Kong gritted his teeth and said, "She said that the people from Xiaoluling have already found Xiuyinfang and asked me not to meddle in other people's business. I have never seen a woman with such a bad temper. It pissed me off!"

In order to train their disciples, the immortal sects have always taken on civilian tasks. Generally, the villages and towns at the foot of the mountain gate do not need the Demon Suppression Office to worry about them. If there is a minor monster, the immortal sect disciples will take care of it themselves.

Some people do not like dealing with officials, so they report the monsters to the immortal sect, who will then send disciples down the mountain.

The gate of Xiuyinfang is on a fairy mountain in Hangzhou Prefecture. I didn’t expect that I could get a case in Jinling.

This means that... the busy Jiang Jiang has come to Jinling again... Lu Zhan was in a good mood and asked, "Daoyou, what are your plans? Do you want to go back to the Immortal Gate to avoid the limelight first, or?"

"Thank you for your concern, fellow Daoist. I have sent a message back. My junior fellow apprentice will come to help soon. Then we will definitely bring that evil woman to justice!" Yuan Kong is a very determined man. He will not return to the mountain until he catches the evil woman from the Hehuan Sect.

Lu Zhan nodded: "That's great. More people always mean more care. I still say the same thing. If you need help, just contact me."

"I feel a little embarrassed that you are so broad-minded..."

You don't have to be embarrassed. I'm just a little curious about the witch of the Hehuan Sect... Lu Zhan smiled and said, "We are all disciples of the righteous path. We will help if we can. Now that you are injured, it's better to go to Jinling City instead of hiding in the wild."

Jinling City has the Demon Suppression Division in charge, so even if the Qi Jue Sect sends assassins again, they will still be wary. Even if they risk attacking in the city, Yuan Kong will have a chance to call for help, unlike in the deep mountains and old forests, where no one would know if he died.

"That's true..." Yuan Kong was a little embarrassed: "Hey... I don't have any money."

"Your Zen Sect is such a big sect, but your disciples have no money?"

"To be honest, the immortal sect gives me pocket money every month, and I also earn some money from killing demons and monsters... But when I travel around the world, if I come across the miserable lives of ordinary people, I can't help but donate some money... After all this, I feel a little embarrassed."

Yuan Kong lowered his head, feeling a little embarrassed.

A penny can make a hero fall, and this is especially true when a man is out in public.

I didn't expect that this big and strong guy actually has a kind heart... But this makes sense. Just like Ling Jiaoyue said, not everyone is willing to get involved in the affairs of the Hehuan Sect. However, Yuan Kong traced the case from Runzhou to Jinling, which shows that he has a strong sense of social responsibility in his heart.

The Chanyi Sect is different from the immortal sects such as Xiuyinfang. They are all Buddhists, and their sites in the secular world are all related to Buddhist temples. However, most of the Buddhist temples in Jinling are in the mountains and are not safe.

Lu Zhan thought for a moment and took out two taels of silver: "Daoyou, take this for emergency use."

"Thank you, Daoist friend." Yuan Kong was not polite, but said seriously: "When I have money, I will definitely pay it back to Daoist friend. If Daoist friend needs my help, I will definitely go through fire and water and die without hesitation! Speaking of which, Daoist friend has saved me twice, but I have never done anything for you. I am really ashamed."

“When we travel in the world, we should help each other.” Lu Zhan didn’t take it to heart.

Ling Jiaoyue gave me five taels today... and now there is only one tael left.

...

The night is drawing near, the dust is gathering with dew, and the moon is dim in the quiet alley.

When Lu Zhan returned home, the house was brightly lit and a lamp was left on for him, although this lamp was only on because Ling Jiaoyue was still practicing and therefore was not blown out.

"You're back."

The king skylark poked its head out from among the ginkgo leaves, its round eyes moving around as if it was observing something.

"I'm back."

"Then rest."

"have a rest."

Lu Zhan had a meaningless conversation with it, but it made the Skylark King very excited. It felt that its words were becoming more and more profound and mysterious, and it seemed to be getting closer to a human master. It excitedly fluttered around twice, disturbing the green leaves on the tree.

When Lu Zhan reached the door, he suddenly felt some movement in the next room. He turned around and saw Ling Jiaoyue standing quietly in front of the window.

The white and clean oval face reflected the moonlight, and the distant mountains and lotus were like red lips and white teeth. Seeing him looking back, she reached out and closed the window.

Soon, the lights in the room went out.

Lu Zhan raised his eyebrows slightly and walked back to his room. Living with a woman like Ling Jiaoyue, it would be a lie to say that he didn't have any thoughts at all.

Any man in the world would have some thoughts if he lived with her.

But she has a cold personality, not the forced coldness like Xiao Chu, but a coolness that emanates from the inside out. Getting along with her is far from being as natural as with Xiao Chu, and even less casual than with Jiang Jiang.

However, the two of them tacitly agreed not to mention what happened that night, at least on the surface they could get by.

After Lu Zhan returned to his room, he didn't feel sleepy, so he just sat cross-legged and meditated.

It is an interesting thing in life to gain enlightenment while staying awake on a summer night.

The cat demon's soul has been gradually refined by its primordial spirit. Its primordial spirit has grown, its flesh and blood have become more solid, and its cultivation speed has also become faster.

Memories of the cat demon also emerged in my mind.

...

Black cats are spiritual creatures.

Eight hundred years ago, the cat demon was born in the prosperous city of Bian Jing and wandered with his mother. However, not long after he was born, his mother starved to death on a snowy night. That night, the cat demon met a lady in gorgeous clothes.

The young lady saw that the black cat was thin but beautiful, and its eyes were bright and lively, so she carried the cat demon into the carriage and took it home to raise it.

At the young lady's home, the cat demon spent a wonderful and comfortable time. He had enough food every day. After eating, he would bask in the sun and catch butterflies in the garden. He would play hydrangea with the young lady, and occasionally be held and caressed by the young lady. His life was carefree.

In order to repay the young lady, the cat demon caught all the mice around to save the young lady's house from the disaster of mice.

This kind of life lasted for a year, but the young lady became increasingly indifferent. At first, she would still look at the cat demon, but later the cat demon would not even see the young lady. It was thrown out of the young lady's yard and handed over to the housekeeper to be fed.

The housekeeper didn't like cats to begin with, but he was patient enough to raise one because his master liked it.

Now that the master doesn't like the cat anymore, the housekeeper is too lazy to pay attention to it. At first, he would give it some food, but later on a snowy night, he threw the cat demon out.

It was a snowy night when it was adopted, and it was also a snowy night when it was abandoned.

The cat demon was filled with resentment and sadness, and went back to see the young lady. It turned out that the young lady had a new pet, a long-haired cat, which was much more beautiful than it.

The long-haired cat was timid and was frightened by the sudden appearance of the cat, so a maid chased it away with a stick, and one of its legs was broken.

Since then, the cat demon had been harboring resentment. One day, while the young lady was taking a nap, it sneaked into the young lady's room, scratched her beautiful face, and then wandered away from Bian Jing.

Later in the forest, the cat demon accidentally ate a spiritual fruit and awakened his spiritual intelligence.

Since then, the cat demon has been practicing hard, because because of its earlier experience, it does not like humans.

After achieving success in cultivation, he joined the Qi Jue Sect, and he completed every mission with precision.

It likes to see humans trembling before death, and it likes to play with its prey even more, scaring it so much that it pees and shits and kneels down to call it "mom".

It was for this reason that Yuan Kong was able to wait for Lu Zhan to arrive.

Lu Zhan opened his eyes. Most of his memories about the cat demon were related to bloodlust. Wherever the cat demon went, there would be blood and gore.

Although some cultivators had hunted her down before, the methods of the Qi Jue Sect were also not weak. In addition, cats are naturally agile and nimble, so they always managed to escape death.

Until tonight.

"Eight hundred years passed in a blink of an eye..."

Every time Lu Zhan read a memory, his mood would fluctuate, as if he had also spent eight hundred years with it. It was these experiences that made his state of mind more stable.

Every memory is also an experience.

……

The next morning.

It was another sunny day. Lu Zhan had not slept all night, but he did not feel tired.

Cultivation is an extremely interesting thing. He can feel that he is about to break through to the peak of the Transcendental Realm, but he still needs a little opportunity and a little chance.

As he still didn't have to go to work today, Lu Zhan didn't go out to eat tofu pudding, but cooked himself a bowl of fennel noodles.

First, cut some minced meat to make the meat sauce, then boil the noodles in clean water. After serving the noodles, pour the meat sauce on them and add two blanched fennel, and the hot noodles are ready to be served.

Lu Zhan sat under the tree and enjoyed his meal with his eyes squinted.

This is not a rare delicacy, but it is enjoyable to eat.

The skylark was still catching insects for the ginkgo tree. With the temptation of sunflower seeds, it was very diligent.

Ling Jiaoyue came out of the room, looking much better. She looked at Lu Zhan who was eating under the tree, with some surprise in her eyes.

Cultivators rarely eat, at least the Yunshui Sect’s cultivators do. Even if they occasionally feel like eating, they go to restaurants. The Yunshui Sect has a special restaurant opened by the sect’s seniors, and the food they cook is delicious.

But no one knows how to cook for themselves, this kind of mundane life is a waste of time.

Lu Zhan didn't seem to feel that he was wasting time and he ate three meals a day almost without interruption.

"You look much better."

Lu Zhan looked back at Ling Jiaoyue. She still looked cold and aloof, but the coarse linen clothes she wore made her look more down-to-earth. She was no longer as cold and aloof as before.

"You should be able to recover in two days. I will teach you how to draw talismans tomorrow." Ling Jiaoyue looked calm. She had to do what she promised, but she didn't think Lu Zhan could learn to draw talismans.

Drawing talismans is a Taoist magic. Those who are proficient in this can evolve it into a magic of immortality, but it has strict requirements on the system, and night doctors are not able to do this.

But since Lu Zhan wanted to learn, she would teach him as a way of repaying him.

"Then I'll trouble you, Miss Ling."

Lu Zhan finished a bowl of noodles in just a few bites. With a flick of his finger, the empty bowl flew into the wooden basin and was washed. After washing it, he returned to the kitchen.

The cultivators' little tricks are nothing surprising.

Ling Jiaoyue thought about what happened last night and asked, "Did you run into the assassins from the Qi Jue Sect last night?"

The pure and innocent Fairy Ling seemed to talk more. Lu Zhan liked her to talk more. No matter how beautiful a person was, it would be boring if she was as stiff as in the paintings.

"You're right. There are many monsters in the Qi Jue Sect. When I went there last night, the killer had already arrived. Fortunately, it was a cat monster."

Lu Zhan waved his sleeves, and the cat demon's body was taken out from the spirit ring and placed in the courtyard.

Cats the size of water tanks are still very rare.

The skylark, which was originally catching insects on the tree, was so scared when it saw such a big black cat that its feathers began to shake.

Ling Jiaoyue nodded: "Indeed, it's a good thing it's a cat demon. Cat demons like to play with their prey, so this is actually a flaw. What realm is it in?"

"The early stage of the Mysterious Realm."

"It would be reasonable for you to kill him."

There are many rumors about Lu Zhan in the market. The most common one is that he has great skills and can kill many monsters above his level when he is weak. He is very powerful.

I've heard so many rumors that it's hard to tell the truth from the false.

But looking at the cat demon's corpse, Ling Jiaoyue knew that the rumors were true.

It was the Skylark King who became excited. He realized later that this was just the corpse of a cat demon and not a living creature, so he flapped his wings and jumped down from the tree. He flew to the vicinity of the cat demon's corpse, staring at it with his big eyes rolling, as if he was eager to try.

"Xiao Lu, is this cat really dead?"

The name of the Skylark King has changed a lot, from Mr. Xiao Lu to Xiao Lu.

Lu Zhan didn't mind and nodded: "Dead."

The Skylark King suddenly let out a scream, spread its wings, circled the cat corpse twice, and suddenly flapped its wings to fly onto the back of the cat corpse. It used its two paws to make a astride posture, leaned its bulging body forward, and flapped its wings at the cat demon's corpse, making a riding posture.

“Gee, gee, gee—”

“Ooooh—”

The lark was extremely excited. It imitated the sound of riding a horse with its mouth and kept raising its two paws on tiptoe, as if it was really riding a horse.

Lu Zhan and Ling Jiaoyue both looked at Skylark, and seeing its excitement, they were both a little confused.

The demon corpse is different from ordinary corpses and will not rot easily, so let Skylark play with it.

The two of them looked at each other and the atmosphere seemed a little awkward. Ling Jiaoyue walked away silently and went to the well to wash clothes.

According to her level of cultivation, her clothes did not need to be washed normally and dust could not get close to her at all.

But because of her injury, her true energy was extremely restrained and she dared not release it at all, making her look like an ordinary woman.

Repairing meridians is different from practicing exercises. It is extremely hard and it is inevitable to sweat.

The fairy's sweat is also sweat, so she has to take a bath and change clothes. The clothes she changes into cannot be piled up, so they have to be washed.

Looking at Ling Jiaoyue washing clothes, Lu Zhan laughed in his heart. He was afraid that no one in the world would ever see Ling Jiaoyue in this posture. She was like a common woman, squatting by the well to wash clothes, and her technique was quite clumsy.

At this moment, she was completely different from the first time she was seen standing on the cliff, looking ecstatic.

Where is the fairy-like beauty of that day?

But the extra smell of fireworks is even more intoxicating.

Noticing Lu Zhan's gaze, Ling Jiaoyue didn't care much and just turned her face away slightly. She had already made a fool of herself in front of Lu Zhan, not to mention washing clothes. Since she had already lost face, she no longer cared about these details.

In simple terms, Ling Jiaoyue is in a bad state.

Under Lu Zhan's gaze, she washed her clothes, wrung them hard, shook off the water, and hung them on the clothes rack in the backyard. She never looked at Lu Zhan from beginning to end, and went back to her room to heal her wounds with an expressionless face.

"Gee, gee, gee—the cat is running~"

"Whoa whoa whoa—cat, stop!"

The Skylark King's voice disrupted Lu Zhan's thoughts. Seeing its happy appearance, Lu Zhan asked, "Do you like cats so much?"

"I don't like cats, I like riding cats."

"Then buy you a cat?"

"don't want!!"

Lu Zhan burst out laughing, and understood Skylark's thoughts. As a bird, it is inevitable to be caught and eaten by cats. Naturally, it hates and fears cats. Only when the cat dies can it vent its inner thoughts.

"Xiao Lu, what do you like to ride?"

“I like to ride a lot.”

“What’s your favorite thing to ride?”

"Well...I have a friend who is a fox."

"A fox? It's scarier than a cat. Where is it?"

“It went a long way.”

"Will you come back?"

"Will do."

Lu Zhan couldn't help but think of the little white fox and her mother. He didn't know whether they had reached the secluded Qingqiu, nor did he know when they would see each other again.

Admittedly, he was looking forward to what the fox would look like after its transformation.

Even among the demon race, the fox clan is famous for its beauty.

There were fluctuations of spiritual energy coming from the house again. The hardworking Fairy Ling was healing her wounds again. Lu Zhan was lying on the rocking chair, staring at the sunlight broken by the ginkgo tree in a daze. He suddenly took a bite of the apple, feeling comfortable and leisurely.

At this moment, a familiar wave of true energy suddenly came from the gate.

There was a knock on the door, and a clear voice like an oriole came along with the knock:

"Lu Guanqi, open the door. I'm here to see you!"
