Madam, please respect my profession.

Chapter 136 Did I call you daddy? Jiang Ningshuang was shocked [Additional update]

It was past three in the morning and still dark.

Jiang Ningshuang followed beside him and asked, "You don't seem to like them very much."

"Ok?"

"Otherwise you will stay until dawn and go to Duanyun Temple after dawn."

"But if I go to Duanyun Temple after daybreak, how can I spend time with Jiang Jiang late at night?"

Jiang Ningshuang's face immediately turned red. She put her hands behind her back, the corners of her lips couldn't help but rise, but her words were full of complaints: "Oh, you always tease me like this, I will be angry."

Lu Zhan made a few jokes, causing her to punch him with her fist, and the two of them chatted and laughed as they headed towards Duanyun Temple. As they were not in a hurry, they did not ride the wind, but their pace was not slow.

Jiang Ningshuang actually didn't know why she followed Lu Zhan to Duanyun Temple. The Zhao family's affairs were over, and she should have left, just like the two bald donkeys from the Chanyi Sect. Whether they went to continue the investigation or return to Jinling to rest, they would always have to part ways.

But Jiang Ningshuang still followed, because she wanted to come.

When the two arrived at Duanyun Temple, the sky was still dark and the temple door was tightly closed. Lu Zhan did not knock on the door, but just meditated in the forest below the temple.

Jiang Ningshuang sat aside and also meditated and practiced.

As he was sitting there, Lu Zhan suddenly felt a weight on his back. It turned out that Jiang Ningshuang, who was sitting next to him, had fallen asleep and fell on his back.

Lu Zhan did not wake her up and continued to concentrate on his cultivation. Suddenly, a cool breeze came from the treetops in front of him. He opened his eyes and saw a yellow fox worshiping the moon at the top of the tree not far away.

The yellow fox was about two feet in size, with its tail raised high, and it looked like a human.

Moon worship is not uncommon. Most of the time, it is just a spirit weasel breathing towards the moon.

The morning moon is setting, the night clouds are thin, and I bow silently under the tree.

As if it had sensed Lu Zhan's gaze, the yellow-skinned creature looked at Lu Zhan. It was not afraid, but just showed a look of vigilance. However, the vigilance soon turned into thought, and it bowed to Lu Zhan and actually saluted.

Lu Zhan waved his hand, and the yellow fox walked away on the treetops, soon disappearing into the dense forest.

There was a sound of footsteps on branches in the forest. Jiang Ningshuang was sleeping soundly and seemed to be defenseless. Lu Zhan felt her face against his back and knew that she was not defenseless against danger, but she was defenseless against himself.

Lu Zhan did not let Jiang Jiang down. He did not take advantage of her sleeping state to do anything to her.

...

In the early morning, the crowing of pheasants could be heard in the forest, and the sun rose from the east, shining on the earth.

Jiang Ningshuang opened her eyes from her sleep and saw the sunlight shining through the woods. The dense leaves broke it into countless spots of light and sprinkled on the ground covered with fallen leaves. It was quite warm. She then realized that she had fallen asleep on Lu Zhan's back and couldn't help but be surprised: "I actually fell asleep?"

"Not only did I fall asleep, I also dreamed."

Jiang Ningshuang patted her face to wake herself up: "Am I dreaming?"

"Well, you hugged me and called me daddy in your dream, and I was too embarrassed to push you away, so I could only let you hold me and sleep for the whole night. But you took advantage of me."

Jiang Ningshuang's eyes widened: "No way? I actually called you daddy?"

Lu Zhan smiled without saying anything and walked forward. His footsteps stepped on the dead branches and leaves, making a crunching sound.

Jiang Ningshuang realized that she was being teased. She jumped up suddenly and pouted her lips and said, "You teased me again, why would I call you daddy? I will never call you daddy in this life."

Lu Zhan did not argue with her, but looked up at Duanyun Temple not far away. Duanyun Temple was shrouded in rosy clouds and filled with a peaceful atmosphere. He heard the sound of bells coming from Duanyun Temple, and the temple gate was open.

Seeing that he remained silent, Jiang Ningshuang felt even more uneasy. She followed him and asked, "I... I didn't really call you daddy in my dream, did I?"

"I treat you well, so you're not wrong to call me daddy." Lu Zhan glanced at her and said, "Besides, you held me in your arms and slept all night. When will you let me hold you back?"

"You wish!" Jiang Ningshuang hugged her chest, snorted, and said, "Eh? That's not right. Why do I feel like we seem to have forgotten something?"

"Have it?"

"There's none?"

Lu Zhan suddenly stopped and glanced at the Zhao family: "Oh no, it seems like I really forgot something."

……

"Woooooooo..."

In the dim morning light, the red glow makes the glazed tiles shine brightly.

The bird with gorgeous feathers raised its wings, covered its face with its hands like a human child, and cried miserably.

They had agreed to fight demons together, and she was afraid of holding Lu Zhan back, so she waited obediently at the Zhao family. Although the Zhao family had a parrot that could talk, she found it boring after playing with it for a while, as the parrot was really timid and a little stupid.

King Skylark sat at the table waiting for Lu Zhan, with two maids serving him and giving him water from time to time.

But she didn't want to drink water, she wanted to eat sunflower seeds, but she was too embarrassed to order the maid, so she could only wait.

Unexpectedly, it was already dawn and Lu Zhan didn't come to pick her up. Instead, she heard the little maid say that Lu Zhan and Jiang Gungun had left.

The Skylark King was suddenly overwhelmed with grief, feeling miserable and helpless.

When she saw Lu Zhan coming back, she felt even more wronged and couldn't stop crying.

Lu Zhan and Jiang Ningshuang looked at her and comforted her softly.

"Don't cry, I'm back to pick you up, right?"

"Wow wow wow... Bald cat, you thought I was critically ill... Wow wow wow... Forgot about me..."

"You are a spirit bird, can't you find your way home?"

"Woooooooo..."

“I have a bag of sunflower seeds…”

"Wuwu...hiccup."

The Skylark King lowered his wings and stared at Lu Zhan with his round eyes. His beautiful beak opened and closed: "I don't want to eat sunflower seeds. I'm just sad that you forgot about me."

At this point, Xiao Que'er's eyes revealed sadness, and she sobbed and said, "After all, I am still not as good as Jiang Gungun, just because I don't have two taels of meat on my chest."

Lu Zhan's face darkened: "...Who did you learn this from?"

Jiang Ningshuang puffed out her chest proudly. This wave of advantage was indeed hers. As the saying goes, three thousand pieces of love are no match for two ounces of breasts. No matter whether it was Chu Wantang or Ling Jiaoyue, they could not compare with her, let alone a little bird.

Mr. Zhao smiled and said awkwardly, "My concubine just complained to me and she followed suit. I'm really sorry."

"Mr. Zhao is still strong despite his old age." Lu Zhan said dimly.

Mr. Zhao was so ashamed that he wanted to relax after his family affairs were settled. However, his two concubines wanted to receive his favor, so they were inevitably jealous and said some sour words.

I didn't expect that this spirit bird had learned the truth, and she captured the truth in such a delicate tone.

"Okay, let's go."

Lu Zhan pinched up Skylark's wings, took her away from the Zhao family, and headed back to Duanyun Temple.

Skylark was a little demon that was easily satisfied. Her mouth was bulging and she soon spat out melon seed shells. She caught the shells with her wings and carefully put them in the pocket of Jiang Ningshuang's red skirt, but was ruthlessly knocked away.

As for the things that the two had forgotten, Xiao Que'er had long forgotten about them.

...

Duanyun Temple is located in Qinhuai Mountains, on the mountainside. The temple is not big, but very elegant. It is surrounded by white walls. The mountain gate is not grand, but there is a plaque hanging in the middle with the three characters "Duanyun Temple" written in a flamboyant style.

Looking down, there are two lines of words engraved on the columns on both sides:

The Pure Land cultivation of the mind does not lead to the Bodhi Land;

At the gate of Zen, one realizes that all virtues lead to the gate of Prajna.

The temple gate was open, and there were already sincere worshippers waiting to burn incense in the morning. The unique smell of incense filled the air with the breeze. Lu Zhan stepped in and saw that the courtyard was square, very elegant and leisurely. In front of him was the hall where the gods were enshrined, and the fragrance blew in from inside.

Several Buddhist nuns walked by, with graceful figures and some accomplishments. It seemed that this was indeed not an ordinary temple.

Lu Zhan also lit a stick of incense when he entered the hall, but he did not make a wish or kneel down. He just bowed according to the etiquette of the martial arts world and then offered the incense.

Seeing Lu Zhan leave after offering incense, Jiang Ningshuang was a little confused. She followed him out and asked in a low voice: "Aren't you here to see an old friend?"

“Sometimes there is no need to meet.”

"Ok?"

"The temple is popular, and the nuns who come and go are all extraordinary. It's a place of belonging for her."

Lu had killed many demons and handled many demon cases, but the only one that he still remembered vividly was Miss Xu's case. He knew that she had converted to Buddhism, so he naturally came to see her when he passed by Xiaoluling, but they didn't necessarily need to meet.

It is not necessarily true that the two of them are very familiar with each other. I am afraid that Miss Xu does not want to see him.

Lu Zhan came here just to see if Duanyun Temple was a legitimate temple. Now that he had found it, he naturally felt relieved. Not only did he feel relieved that Miss Xu had found a home, but he also felt relieved himself.

After experiencing what happened to Miss Xu, he would always think of her painful and tragic experience, and couldn't help but sigh whenever he thought of it. However, there would be more things to experience in the future, and a cultivator must not be trapped in a corner. He came here to take a look and also to put an end to this experience of his.

Seeing Jiang Ningshuang's puzzled look, Lu Zhan smiled and said, "Ningshuang, you have a lively personality and are not bound by worldly matters. That's great."

Jiang Ningshuang had a sweet smile, as beautiful as the peonies outside the temple gate, yet not gaudy.

The two of them walked to the front of the temple and were about to leave when a familiar voice came from behind them: "Sir, please stay."

Lu Zhan recognized the other person's identity based on the voice. He turned around and smiled, and saw a slender woman standing under a tree not far away. She was wearing a monk's robe, her long black hair was neatly tied up, and she wore a blue-gray hat. Her eyes were calm and peaceful.

It’s Miss Xu, or Chen Hui.

"Master Chen Hui." Lu Zhan did not call her by her common name.

Chen Hui approached and bowed respectfully, his voice calm and indifferent: "From a distance, I thought you looked like an adult, but I didn't expect you to be an adult. Is there something that has brought you to Duanyun Temple?"

Lu Zhan did not say anything, but just glanced at her. He could still remember Miss Xu's desperate expression that day. Now she seemed to be reborn from the ashes, but also like an empty shell without a soul, standing quietly in the wind, like dust that would dissipate at any time.

th.

Lu Zhan smiled warmly: "I was passing by here on business, so I came to take a look. Miss Xu, are you okay?"

She didn't say anything, but just looked up at Lu Zhan. Her calm eyes finally showed some movement. She smiled, but it was uglier than crying: "Thank you for your concern... After all, I have to thank you for all those things."

Lu Zhan nodded slightly, but she continued to speak in a calm and distant voice: "I want to thank you for escaping from the devil's cave."

"Why do you say that?" Lu Zhan was a little surprised.

This is the extra chapter I agreed upon before based on the rewards. Originally, I said I would wait until Double Eleven, but I have to go for a physical check-up tomorrow, so I will update it today.

By the way, I have already finished writing the chapter for tomorrow’s update, but I have to wait until I come back from my physical examination to write the other chapter. So I may not be able to keep updating at around noon.

Because I have a lot of tests to do tomorrow, first of all, a recheck of lung nodules, and secondly, my menstrual irregularities and insomnia have lasted for a long time, so I also need to check this problem. It will probably be mid-afternoon when I get back, so the second update will probably be later.

This chapter will be updated first and revised later. I will correct the typos after I finish my meal.
