And she was a beautiful young woman Xu Lei already knew.
She was the one he had met while catching the Centipede Demon—the beautiful young woman with a husband who had married into her family.
At the time, she had introduced herself as Ms. Zhu.
Of course, Xu Lei wouldn't let on that he recognized her, and he received her as he would any other devotee.
When her reception was over,
"Amitabha Buddha."
Xu Lei said, "Donor Zhu, these are the merits of Charitable Giving.
If you have made your decision, you may come to the temple for the 'Charitable Giving'."
"Thank you, Zen Master. I… I will consider it."
Ms. Zhu then said, "If I do decide, I have some family business to attend to as well.
I might not be able to come until next month!"
With that,
she departed down the mountain.
As for why she was seeking a child? She didn't say.
But Xu Lei guessed it was likely due to her husband's low sperm count.
