A Dull Life in Heaven

Just put on a show of working.

Perhaps Heaven only needed a process, a ritual. Whether it was truly clean or not, sweeping it once could never be wrong. To be honest, the koi and Immortal Cranes in the lotus pond lived more comfortably than immortals did. Of course, those fish and birds did not dare fly about at will either, always wandering within designated areas. If they flew too far, they might violate heavenly laws and be delivered to the Kitchen God as a gourmet dish.

On the stone steps of the Palace of Joyful Transformation's Side Hall, a certain white dragon gently waved a broom and swept with great care.

She had to remain here for one shichen, leaving only at the Hour of the Tiger. Before dawn, she had to finish her work and return to the residential quarter.

No great deity resided in the Palace of Joyful Transformation. Bai Yujun had yet to figure out its exact purpose, though whether she understood it had nothing to do with her anyway. Why should an immortal maid sweeping stone stairs worry herself over Heaven's thirty-six celestial palaces?

The starry sky grew brighter and brighter, while the multitude of stars gradually faded away...

In the east, the Sun Star released ten thousand shafts of golden light, Purple Qi Coming from the East. The instant that golden radiance fell upon the floating immortal mountains, palaces, and towers, all palace lamps went out, restoring the splendor of gold and jade. Immortal Birds danced through the air.

The immortal maids and Lishi at work left in groups, replaced by another batch of Heavenly Soldiers and Generals and immortal maids responsible for daytime duties.

A certain dragon followed behind a group of minor immortal girls, taking tiny steps back toward the residential quarter.
