After their trip to the underworld, new news gradually spread through the Primordial World: the Heavenly Court was about to hold a grand enfeoffment ceremony, where all the gods would gather to receive their titles from the Jade Emperor. How could such a lively event be missing Chen Siyu and Chen Ruixuan, those two Cute Kids?
The siblings were thrilled when they heard the news, hopping and skipping all the way toward the Heavenly Court. Just as they reached the South Heavenly Gate, a guard blocked their way. "Halt! You two little brats—this is the Heavenly Court, a place of great importance, not for trespassing!" The guard held his spear, his face stern. Chen Siyu blinked her big eyes and said sweetly, "Big brother, we heard the Heavenly Court is having a big celebration, and we just wanted to join in the fun." The guard remained unmoved: "The Heavenly Court's enfeoffment ceremony is no trivial matter. Without the Jade Emperor's decree, no one enters."
Chen Ruixuan wasn't happy about that. He pouted and said, "Hmph, if you won't let us in, we're going in anyway." With that, he waved his little hand, and an invisible force shoved the guard aside. The guard fell to the ground, startled and furious. Just as he was about to get up and fight, Chen Siyu quickly said, "Big brother, don't be mad. We'll just go in, take a look, and come right out—we won't cause trouble." With that, she grabbed Chen Ruixuan and ran into the Heavenly Court.
At that moment, the Heavenly Court's enfeoffment ceremony was in full swing. The Jade Emperor sat high atop the Lingxiao Hall, with the gods lined up on both sides, solemn and dignified. Taibai Jinxing was reading the enfeoffment decree when suddenly, Chen Siyu and Chen Ruixuan darted in like a pair of little monkeys. Instantly, the entire hall fell silent, and all eyes fixed on the two uninvited guests.
The Jade Emperor frowned and barked, "Who are you? Why have you barged into the Heavenly Court to disrupt the enfeoffment ceremony?" Chen Siyu wasn't the least bit intimidated. She said boldly, "Grandpa Jade Emperor, we heard it was lively here, so we just wanted to see. Your ceremony is grand, sure, but it's way too serious—no fun at all." Chen Ruixuan nodded along: "Yeah, yeah, it should be like us—happy and carefree."
The gods murmured among themselves, finding the two children outrageously bold. Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King Li stepped forward and shouted, "Where did you wild brats come from, spouting nonsense before the Jade Emperor? Get out at once!" Chen Ruixuan glared back defiantly: "You're the wild brat! You old man with the pagoda—we're not scared of you!"
The Jade Emperor looked at the two mischievous Cute Kids. Though a bit annoyed, he found them amusing, so he asked, "Then in your opinion, what would make this enfeoffment ceremony fun?" Chen Siyu's eyes lit up. "Grandpa Jade Emperor, how about a talent showdown? Let all the gods show off their skills, and whoever's the best gets the biggest title. That way, everyone has fun, and you pick the most capable gods—perfect!"
The gods reacted in mixed ways—some found it ridiculous, others looked uneasy. After all, they were usually high and mighty, rarely performing in front of others. But the Jade Emperor thought the idea was novel and wanted to see how the gods would respond.
Just then, Nezha stepped forward. "Since these little friends have made the suggestion, I'll kick things off." He then performed the Three Heads and Six Arms technique, his weapons whirling with fierce momentum, radiating dazzling light. Chen Siyu and Chen Ruixuan's eyes sparkled as they clapped and cheered: "Wow, so cool! You look like a giant octopus!"
After Nezha's performance, the Eight Immortals weren't about to be outdone. They each showed off their powers. Iron Crutch Li demonstrated his resurrection technique, Han Zhongli fanned out cool breezes with his Banana Leaf Fan, Zhang Guolao rode his donkey backward through the air, Lü Dongbin sent his flying sword to slay demons, He Xiangu cast a lotus that lit up the hall, Lan Caihe released multicolored light from his flower basket, and Han Xiangzi played his jade flute, filling the entire Heavenly Court with beautiful music.
Chen Siyu and Chen Ruixuan watched with glee, pointing and commenting on everything. Seeing this, the other gods joined the talent showdown one after another. What had been a solemn enfeoffment ceremony instantly turned into a joyous celebration.
The Jade Emperor watched the lively hall, a smile spreading across his face. He thought to himself that while these two Cute Kids had caused a ruckus, they had brought a fresh burst of energy to the otherwise dull ceremony. In the end, the Jade Emperor made some adjustments to the enfeoffments based on the gods' performances, and thanks to Chen Siyu and Chen Ruixuan's meddling, this ceremony became the most unique grand event in Heavenly Court history.
As for Chen Siyu and Chen Ruixuan, after the ceremony ended, they left the Heavenly Court completely satisfied and started plotting their next adventure, ready to bring new joy and surprises to the Primordial World.
