Madam, please respect my profession.

Chapter 370 Ling Jiaoyue: Let me reward you, and take a bath together every day

It gets dark quickly in winter. As Lu Zhan walked from the city gate into the city, the sky began to darken.

Snowflakes were flying, and the streets were full of people holding umbrellas and returning home. From time to time, shouts could be heard from the shops on both sides of the street, and someone was selling porridge at the end of the alley.

"Mr. Qian is giving away this freshly cooked eight-treasure porridge for free..."

Lu Zhan smelled the sweet aroma of the porridge and felt a little dazed for a moment. Time passed quickly. If Que Que were here, she would probably clamor for porridge again.

I don't know what happened to that little thing.

Lu Zhan did not hold an umbrella. He stopped for a while, looking at the people holding porridge and having fun under the shed, and smiled too.

The sky was getting darker and darker, and Lu Zhan strode towards home. Guanxiang was not as lively as the outside. Under the cover of the night, everything was quiet.

Lu Zhan stood in front of his house, white smoke was rising from the chimney, it seemed that he was cooking.

Before Lu Zhan could push the door, it opened from the inside.

"Master is finally back. I have been worried about you." Xiaobai stood behind the door with a clear and pleasant voice.

Lu Zhan walked into the house and closed the door, his eyes lingering on her: "Are you taking a shower?"

Xiaobai was smiling happily and eating happily with the bowl in his arms.

Xiao Bai shook his head: "Sister Ning Shuang is very busy and has not been home. But there are other girls looking for you, cold and beautiful."

Xiaobai took two bites of pickles and then drank the porridge with a sweet taste, her eyes narrowed, looking very satisfied.

Xiaobai held the bowl of porridge and looked at Lu Zhan eagerly.

Lu Zhan smiled. Outside, the snow was getting heavier. The rockery and flowers in the yard were all covered in snow, making it seem lonely. Only the fragrance of plum blossoms could be smelled, coming faintly from under the snow.

"it is good!"

Not to mention the forty demon beasts, just the demon king in the middle stage of Wuwei Realm was enough to make Lu Zhan overjoyed.

"These gains are just a small part of what we have explored in the Myriad Beasts Abyss..."

Lu Zhan ate his porridge slowly and thought naturally of Cuiping Mountain.

Now that the three souls are being cultivated at a very fast speed, the growth rate of soul number four is even more rapid, far exceeding Lu Zhan's expectations.

Lu Zhan was speechless for a moment, and after a while he said, "It seems that your hunting skills are average."

Xiaobai licked the rice grains around his mouth and looked very happy:

Xiaobai nodded sensibly, quickly returned to the room to put on his shoes, and brought the food from the kitchen to the pavilion.

I'm afraid that I can raise five spirits in one breath.

"I was very hungry before, and even ate grass. Compared to those flavors, porridge made from fine rice is so delicious."

……

"..."

But then again, if the little demons hadn't snatched the roast chicken, he wouldn't have set his sights on Cuiping Mountain, let alone rescue Jiang Jiang and Lin Hongwen. Later, he was involved in the evil cultivation case, which was extremely complicated.

"Will the master leave again after he comes back this time?"

"I made Laba porridge and accidentally got covered in dust, so I took a bath." Xiaobai said, his nose twitching slightly: "Master, do you smell the fragrance of Laba porridge?"

When he entered the Ten Thousand Beasts Marsh, Ling Jiaoyue was there, probably worried about his safety.

No wonder those little demons robbed the roast chicken; it turned out that the food in the mountains was gradually becoming scarce.

Lu Zhan looked towards the kitchen. The fragrance came from the kitchen and it smelled good.

This scene is quite appetizing while eating.

The pavilion is covered with curtains on three sides, leaving only one side exposed for viewing the snow.

Lu Zhan felt dazed and didn't want to talk about these topics, so he asked, "Is Ningshuang back?"

After eating two bowls of porridge, Lu Zhan returned to his room. He sent a message to Ling Jiaoyue to report his safety, and then began to count the harvest.

There were two bowls of Laba porridge and a plate of pickles on the table. It was not really a delicacy, but when Lu Zhan came back from a snowy night, exhausted, holding the steaming porridge in his hands, he felt a sense of homely warmth.

He retracted his gaze, placed his palm on Xiaobai's lower back, and used his true Qi to dry her wet hair and skirt, then said:

"Next time, use your true Qi to protect your body, so you won't get your tail dirty. Go put on your shoes and eat."

“Are you so happy eating vegetarian food?” Lu Zhan couldn’t help but laugh as he watched her wolfing down her food.

At this rate, by the time Yuanshen No. 4 has devoured all of these demon souls, it is estimated to have reached adulthood.

Lu Zhan hesitated for a moment and thought it was Ling Jiaoyue.

The room was quiet, with only the occasional sound of wind blowing through the bamboo forest. Lu Zhan sat upright on the futon, the corners of his lips unconsciously rising.

Xiao Bai swallowed the Laba porridge and said: "Bai Bai's hunting skills are very good, but there was a disaster in Cuiping Mountain before, and the prey was almost caught by them, so Bai Bai had nothing to eat."

“Swish, swish—”

There was a hint of fire in Lu Zhan's eyes. If he was strong enough to sweep across the Ten Thousand Beasts Abyss, he simply couldn't imagine how much benefit he could gain.

She was wearing a white gown, her hair was wet and draped behind her, her fair, foxy face was charming and attractive, her clothes were wet with snowflakes and her hair, revealing her round long legs faintly, her white and tender feet were not wearing shoes, and she walked barefoot on the snow.

Will I worry about food for my soul at that time?

Lu Zhan pursed his lips and said, "If I go on a long journey next time, I will take you with me."

He had seen many storms and waves, but when he counted the harvest, he couldn't help but sigh.

Unfortunately, at present, he can only fantasize and does not have the ability to actually realize it.

Lu Zhan sighed slightly and focused his attention on his soul. He had now reached the middle stage of the Creation Realm, and apart from the opportunities he had encountered, his soul was the most important contributor.

Strictly speaking, he himself didn't practice much, and relied entirely on the rapid rotation of his soul.

At this time, the soul was devouring the souls of demons and monsters. Unfortunately, the consciousness of these demons and beasts was confused and they had no usable memories at all.

Although the Demon King possesses a clear consciousness, it has been suppressed in the blood river by the remaining power of the Ten Thousand Demon King since its birth, so Lu Zhan is not interested in its memory.

I guess it's going to be jail, jail, or fucking jail.

However, Lu Zhan was very interested in the talents of the Demon King.

After a little thought, Lu Zhan moved the demon soul of the Demon King to the front and let Yuanshen No. 4 eat it first.

The Demon King has devoured the flesh and blood of the Monster King, which should have stimulated some good talents.

"Ok?"

Lu Zhan frowned, seeing that the usually sharp-toothed Yuanshen No. 4 was like an eighty-year-old woman gnawing on a bone when gnawing on the demon king's soul, unable to chew it at all.

It took a full half a quarter of an hour for Yuanshen No. 4 to eat a small handful.

Lu Zhan had no choice but to interrupt the three souls that were cultivating, and let the four souls surround the demon soul of the Demon King and gnaw on it together.

The speed of the soul's devouring after adulthood is slightly faster, but only slightly faster.

"Forget it, just eat it slowly, just treat it as a reserve food..."

Lu Zhan shook his head and did not force it.

Ever since he obtained the soul, he knew that the speed at which the soul was consumed was related to whether one was an adult, and was also closely related to his strength.

The stronger the demon soul is, the slower the devouring speed.

But no matter how hard something is to chew, as long as you can chew it, it will turn into nutrients sooner or later, so there is no need to rush.

Lu Zhan exhaled and took out the golden finger bone.

The golden finger bones are the key to the world beyond the world, but what really aroused Lu Zhan’s interest was the strength of the golden finger bones.

If the brilliance was deliberately concealed, the golden finger bone would look ordinary, like an insignificant nugget of gold. However, its hardness was beyond Lu Zhan's expectations, even harder than the Thunder-controlling Plum Blossom Spear.

The Thunder-Proof Plum Blossom Spear is a magical weapon that can be listed on the list of divine weapons. Its material is extraordinary, but it still cannot be compared with the golden finger bones.

This shows that the physique of the King of Ten Thousand Demons has been tempered to a terrifying level.

Lu Zhan tried to use his true Qi to control his finger bones. If necessary, this thing could be used as a hidden weapon.

When Lu Zhan's true Qi was poured into his finger bones, the sacred rhythm of Tao hidden in the finger bones was transmitted to Lu Zhan's mind.

Lu Zhan could not comprehend the great principles contained in it for the time being. He would need to wait until his realm was raised before he could gradually comprehend it.

Lu Zhan was increasingly looking forward to entering the state of inaction, when he would be able to use this law to impact the state of divine consciousness.

At that time, you can also mobilize the World Beyond Heaven freely, and the World Beyond Heaven will also become a great help.

After counting the harvest, Lu Zhan felt refreshed. He opened his eyes, put away the finger bones, and just as he was about to get up, he sensed a chill coming from a distance.

……

A quarter of an hour ago, Bianjing City.

It was late at night and the whole city was covered with snow. The entire Bianjing capital was silent, with only the occasional sound of night watchmen beating and dogs barking.

The lights in Dengyun Lane have gone out.

In the big house in the alley, all the disciples of Yunshui Sect have rested. This is the Yunshui Sect’s stronghold in Bian Jing.

Ling Jiaoyue lay on her side on the bed, with a thin quilt covering her chest and revealing her fair shoulders. She looked out the window at the vast snow-covered landscape, her mind full of mixed thoughts, and she couldn't fall asleep for a long time.

Ever since Lu Zhan entered the secret realm, she has been unable to live in peace.

Especially in recent days when she was practicing, she vaguely felt that the power of the ice essence was occasionally agitated. This was because the essence had not been completely refined, and a slight rejection phenomenon occurred.

Although it is only a slight agitation, but if it is at a critical moment of life and death, a slight difference in the true Qi can mean the difference between life and death.

This made Ling Jiaoyue a little worried. She had an ice body, and although the five elements were compatible with the ice essence, there were still some strangeness in it. Lu Zhan's physique was not very harmonious with the divine fire essence, so the strangeness might be even more obvious.

At this time, Lu Zhan was in the secret realm again. She remembered clearly that the aura at the entrance of the secret realm was shocking, and it must be very dangerous inside.

If the essence of the divine fire showed any unusual movement when Lu Zhan was fighting the enemy in the secret realm, it would be very disastrous.

Ling Jiaoyue felt a little regretful in her heart. If she had known this would happen, she should have intensified her dual cultivation with Lu Zhan and refined the essence as quickly as possible.

Ugh…

Ling Jiaoyue sighed softly, tossing and turning in uneasy sleep, so she simply sat up.

The thin blanket slid to her waist, revealing a white bellyband embroidered with lotus flowers. She was about to get up to practice when the soul bowl suddenly trembled.

"Since you have come out of the secret realm, why don't you come to me instead of just sending cold messages..."

After Ling Jiaoyue finished reading the message in the soul bowl, it turned out to be a safety letter from "Blackwater No. 3". She frowned, vaguely displeased.

Lu Zhan knew that dual cultivation was beneficial to cultivation, but after coming out of the secret realm, he did not take the initiative to look for her. Every time she took the initiative to come to him, as if she was eager for him.

"Since he doesn't want to refine the Divine Fire Essence quickly, why should I think so much? Even if something goes wrong, it will be his own fault..."

Ling Jiaoyue threw the soul bowl aside and lay down to rest.

Half an hour later.

A figure flashed by the bed, and Ling Jiaoyue got out of bed again. Her clothes made of ice silk flew towards her. She raised her hand to dress neatly, took her sword and went out, flying towards Guanxiang.

Ling Jiaoyue didn't want to pay attention to Lu Zhan at first, but then she thought that Lu Zhan sent her a message after leaving the secret realm, which meant that he was thinking about her.

The reason why I didn't come to see her was probably because I cared about her feelings and was afraid that she would misunderstand.

After all, the two of them seldom contacted each other normally, and asking her to do that as soon as they met seemed too purposeful, and she would be unhappy then.

Ling Jiaoyue thought about it and felt that she shouldn't be too pretentious.

As far as she knew, Jiang Ningshuang had been eyeing her covetously, and Chu Wantang also showed signs of overtaking her. If she continued to act coy, she would probably have to call Chu Wantang "sister".
