A Maid to Attend His Majesty's Bath? The People of This Shrouding the Heavens World Were Far Too Extravagant!

"Big Sister Wanwan, what's a spirit spring? Is it a hot spring? What are we going there for?"

On the way to the spirit spring, Zhu Zhuqing asked Jiang Wanwan curiously.

"A hot spring?"

Jiang Wanwan explained without stopping:

"Something like that, except hot springs are for mortals."

"As for what we're doing..."

At this point, Jiang Wanwan said teasingly, "Right now, you aren't qualified to attend His Majesty yet, so I'm planning to have you practice by attending me first."

"Practice?"

Confusion flashed across Zhu Zhuqing's face.

"Yes." Jiang Wanwan nodded. "In the future, I plan to recommend you as a maid to attend His Majesty's bath, so I'll have you practice first and familiarize yourself with the process."

"Huh? A-a maid to attend His Majesty's bath?"

Zhu Zhuqing was instantly startled. Her cheeks flushed crimson, and even her voice trembled slightly despite herself.

Certain unspeakable images involuntarily surfaced in her mind...

Seeing Zhu Zhuqing's flustered, bashful appearance, Jiang Wanwan chuckled and reached out to pinch her burning cheek.

"Little girl, I have high hopes for you."

"Not only is your fortune unusual, but your bloodline is very special too."

"If you catch His Majesty's eye in the future, don't forget your big sister!"

Zhu Zhuqing grew even more bashful. "Big Sister Wanwan, what are you saying..."

Yet despite saying that, when she thought of that peerlessly magnificent Heavenly Emperor, Zhu Zhuqing inexplicably did not refuse.

Instead, she lowered her head and said shyly, "If... if I really get that opportunity, I definitely won't forget you, Big Sister Wanwan."

"I really was right about you."

Looking at Zhu Zhuqing, Jiang Wanwan smiled. "When the time comes, we sisters will attend His Majesty together!"

"T-together?" Zhu Zhuqing exclaimed again.

Douluo Continent, Shrek Academy.

Dai Mubai stared fixedly at the sky screen, listening to Jiang Wanwan and Zhu Zhuqing's conversation.

Especially when Zhu Zhuqing actually did not reject Jiang Wanwan's suggestion, his fists clenched with audible cracks, his eyes filled with fury.

"Zhu Zhuqing, you're my fiancée! Have you forgotten?"

"You actually... really want to attend another man?!"

Before, Dai Mubai could still comfort himself that Zhu Zhuqing had joined the Heavenly Court with something else in mind...

Or comfort himself with thoughts like, "Even if Zhu Zhuqing attends that Heavenly Emperor, he might not necessarily do anything to her."

But now...

This was attending someone's bath. Dai Mubai himself was a prince of the Star Luo Empire, and before coming to the Heaven Dou Empire, he had always had maids attend his baths.

Naturally, he knew how maids in noble households had to attend their masters' baths.

In the better cases, they merely went without clothes...

But if the master had any ideas, then when attending to certain places, the maid could no longer use her hands.

At the thought of that possibility, Dai Mubai's vision instantly went black, his face turning from white to livid.

He forced a word through gritted teeth: "Bitch!"

Hearing this, Tang San, Yu Xiaogang, Oscar, and Ma Hongjun wore somewhat peculiar expressions. That seemed to be...

Pity?!

As for the only two girls, Xiao Wu and Ning Rongrong, their expressions were somewhat peculiar at that moment.

Just then, Tang San spoke.

"Rongrong, Xiao Wu, what's wrong? What are you thinking about? You're so distracted."

"Hm?"

Ning Rongrong was startled and felt a little guilty. "Uh... I was thinking... I was thinking, right, Zhu Qing is so pitiful... having to become a maid."

"You know, on the Douluo Continent, she was the Star Luo Empire's future imperial consort, but in the Shrouding the Heavens World, she's actually become a maid."

Xiao Wu hurriedly nodded too, guiltily agreeing.

"I see..."

As Tang San spoke, he instinctively exchanged a glance with Oscar, and both saw satisfaction in the other's eyes.

Soon, the two drew together, and Oscar whispered:

"Little San, Rongrong and Xiao Wu really are different from Zhu Zhuqing."

Tang San nodded, looking pityingly at the livid-faced Dai Mubai beside him.

"Tsk, tsk. Boss Dai really has it rough!"

The Shrouding the Heavens World, within the Ninefold Heavenly Towers.

While they talked, Jiang Wanwan had already brought Zhu Zhuqing to a courtyard shrouded in thin mist.

The courtyard gate was simple and ancient, carved with intricate cloud patterns, with faint gleams of flowing light.

Before she even stepped inside, Zhu Zhuqing felt Spiritual Qi so rich it had almost taken solid form wash over her.

"Here we are."

Jiang Wanwan pushed open the courtyard gate.

Zhu Zhuqing followed her inside, and the next second, she froze completely.

At the center of the courtyard was a spring pool roughly three zhang square.

The water was a faint milky white, its surface wreathed in seven-colored radiance. As mist rose, it condensed into phantoms of rare birds and exotic beasts that wheeled and danced above the pool.

What shocked Zhu Zhuqing most was the Spiritual Qi contained in the spring water.

Every drop seemed condensed from the purest essence of heaven and earth, giving off a refreshing fragrance that seeped into the heart.

With just one breath of the mist above the pool, Zhu Zhuqing felt her Soul Power circulate somewhat faster, and even her Bitter Sea showed faint signs of stirring.

"Th-this is a spirit spring?"

Zhu Zhuqing stared at the spirit spring before her, dumbfounded.

Every drop of water in this so-called spirit spring... seemed to be an entire spirit herb?!

Meanwhile, on the Douluo Continent, others might not understand, but Tang San gazed at the spirit spring on the sky screen.

"Th-Thousand-Year Spirit Milk?"

Tang San swallowed with difficulty.

The Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record described an immortal substance called Thousand-Year Spirit Milk, a supreme treasure said to seize the fortune of heaven and earth, with barely a single drop condensing in a thousand years.

It possessed the miraculous effects of cleansing the meridians and marrow and rebuilding one's foundation.

The description of that Thousand-Year Spirit Milk bore a seventy to eighty percent resemblance to the pool water in the image. Tang San did not know whether this pool of spirit spring water was Thousand-Year Spirit Milk.

But even if it was not, it was definitely an exceedingly rare medicinal treasure.

"They eat spirit rice and bathe in immortal-grade spirit milk... the people of this Shrouding the Heavens World are far too extravagant!"

For a moment, Tang San even had an absurd illusion.

If I were to become a maid, perhaps that wouldn't be unacceptable?

While Tang San marveled, in the Shrouding the Heavens World.

Within the spirit spring courtyard.

Jiang Wanwan had already walked gracefully to the edge of the pool, her back to Zhu Zhuqing.

"All right, stop spacing out. Come help me change..."

"Huh? Ch-change?"

Hearing this, Zhu Zhuqing abruptly snapped out of her shock at the spirit spring and hurriedly tried to say that she could not.

After all, Jiang Wanwan did not know, but she did...

She was constantly being livestreamed by the Myriad Worlds Sky Screen.

If she changed clothes, wouldn't that...

Yet just as Zhu Zhuqing was at a loss as to how to explain, an icy mechanical voice devoid of any emotion suddenly sounded in her mind:

[The current scene has been detected to involve privacy. The temporary livestream blocking function is available.]

[Temporarily block the livestream of "Zhu Zhuqing's perspective"?]

Hearing the sky screen's prompt, Zhu Zhuqing let out a sigh of relief.

This sky screen can actually be considerate...

As she thought this, she hurriedly said silently, System, block the livestream!

The next second, Zhu Zhuqing's livestream went dark, and what followed was...

The second perspective, Zhu Zhuyun's livestream, lit up.
