Why was Boss Dai's head glowing green? Immortal cultivation? "Mystic Moon Goddess Scripture"

Sign up to become a maid to this so-called Heavenly Emperor?

Zhu Zhuqing did not even think about it. Her instinct was to refuse.

After all, she was Zhu Zhuqing, someone who aspired to become a Titled Douluo, and she had always been working toward that goal.

She had come to this unfamiliar Shrouding the Heavens World to seek opportunities to grow stronger and completely break free of the shackles of her family and fate.

Not to swallow her pride and become a maid to some "Heavenly Emperor" she had never met, doing the work of serving someone else.

That ran completely counter to her original purpose of pursuing strength and taking control of her own destiny.

But...

Just as the refusal was about to leave her lips, she forcibly stopped herself.

"As long as I pass the maid selection, I can obtain an immortal cultivation technique and become a fairy?"

What was immortal cultivation? Zhu Zhuqing had no idea.

But she knew the term cultivation technique. After all, what she practiced now was the Zhu Family's hereditary high-grade meditation method.

"Maybe I can sign up and try, see what this so-called immortal cultivation technique is, then leave?"

"With my speed, if I want to leave, these ordinary people won't be able to stop me anyway..."

"Where do I sign up?"

In the end, Zhu Zhuqing nodded, her voice as cool as ever.

Douluo Continent, Shrek Academy.

When Yu Xiaogang saw Zhu Zhuqing actually nod and accept the invitation to become that Heavenly Emperor's maid, his expression instantly turned very strange.

He instinctively looked toward Dai Mubai.

After all, Zhu Zhuqing was his fiancée...

Although Dai Mubai's womanizing had made their relationship rather delicate at present, their engagement still stood.

But now...

After going to that unfamiliar, low-level little world, Zhu Zhuqing was actually planning to become the Heavenly Emperor's maid?

What was a maid?

The maids in the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace did not simply attend to their master's clothing, food, lodging, and travel. When their master had "needs," they also had to offer their bodies.

Beside him, Tang San's expression was quite a sight as well.

His eyes were full of sympathy as he looked at Dai Mubai.

He did not even know whether he was imagining it, but why did he keep feeling that a faint green glow was rising from Boss Dai's head?

"Poor Boss Dai..."

Thinking this, Tang San glanced tenderly at Xiao Wu beside him. "If Xiao Wu went to that world, she would never do something like this..."

"Become a maid to that whatever Heavenly Emperor."

Tang San's eyes were full of confidence.

Ma Hongjun and Oscar also exchanged bewildered looks.

Ma Hongjun could not help muttering, "What is Zhu Zhuqing thinking?"

"In a little world like this, where there aren't even many Soul Masters, instead of hurrying to look for exotic flowers, rare herbs, or special minerals to take away, she actually wants to become a native's maid?"

As for Dai Mubai, faced with everyone's pitying gazes, he kept his arms folded, his face full of confidence.

"You don't understand Zhu Zhuqing."

"She's proud by nature. How could she sincerely want to become a maid to that damned Heavenly Emperor?"

"She must have her own reasons for agreeing! Just wait and see!"

As though to lend his words greater credibility:

"If you don't believe me, we can make a bet. Zhu Zhuqing will definitely leave in a little while!"

"If I lose, I'll strip naked and run ten laps around the field. If I win, you only need to give me one Gold Soul Coin. How about it?"

Oscar and Ma Hongjun were still hesitating, but Ning Rongrong, who feared nothing more than a world without chaos, immediately clapped excitedly.

"A bet? Sounds fun! I'm in!"

Dai Mubai remained confident.

"It's a deal!"

He simply did not believe that his proud, aloof fiancée would become a maid to this nonsensical Heavenly Emperor.

They actually dared to look at him with pity? Just wait until they got slapped in the face!

Shrouding the Heavens World, Clear Breeze Town.

While everyone at Shrek was discussing her, Zhu Zhuqing wore a strange expression...

She had already passed the assessment and been selected.

The female official in charge of the assessment had simply examined her face and bone age, confirming that there were no signs of alteration through cultivation techniques.

Then she had instructed her to place both hands on a white crystal ball.

The female official had said that His Majesty the Heavenly Emperor was not demanding about aptitude and left everything to fate, valuing only fortune...

Yet when Zhu Zhuqing placed her hands on the crystal ball, it actually shone with purple light.

After that, the woman opposite her had looked astonished and whispered something into a jade pendant...

In the end, she had passed the assessment just like that, still utterly confused.

At this point, the female official in charge of assessing her smiled and said, "Young lady, your name is Zhu Zhuqing, correct?"

"Congratulations on passing the preliminary selection for the Heavenly Court's maids."

As she spoke, she took out a palm-sized, crystal-clear jade slip and handed it to Zhu Zhuqing.

"Judging by the presence around you, there are no fluctuations of spiritual power, only an extremely faint trace of very inferior energy. Presumably, you practice some exceedingly lowly method."

"Now that you have entered the Heavenly Court, you can discard that inferior cultivation technique."

"This is the Mystic Moon Goddess Scripture, which all maids of our Heavenly Court may cultivate. Study it carefully."

"Mystic Moon Goddess Scripture?"

Zhu Zhuqing accepted the jade slip. It felt cool against her skin.

But no matter how she turned it over and examined it, the jade slip was smooth as a mirror and bore no writing. Nothing about it looked like it contained a cultivation technique.

Seemingly noticing Zhu Zhuqing's confusion, the female official smiled faintly and explained:

"Zhu Zhuqing, you have yet to open your Bitter Sea and develop divine sense, so you cannot read it with divine sense."

"Therefore, you must press the jade slip against the space between your brows, focus your mind, and calm your breathing. Only then can you perceive the scripture recorded within."

"Like this?"

Understanding dawned on Zhu Zhuqing, and curiosity stirred within her.

Is this Mystic Moon Goddess Scripture the so-called immortal cultivation technique? Is it as good as our Zhu Family's high-grade meditation method?

With that thought, Zhu Zhuqing pressed the jade slip between her brows.

Meanwhile.

Far above the nine heavens, within the White Jade Capital-a massive airborne weapon floating atop a sea of clouds, its endless palaces resembling an immortal realm.

In a tranquil palace shrouded in hazy moonlight.

Ji Ziyi, the imperial daughter of the Ji Family, sat cross-legged on a jade couch, cultivating with her eyes closed. She wore purple court robes, her face breathtakingly beautiful, her bearing as aloof as the Guanghan Fairy.

Suddenly, the space before her rippled slightly, and a messaging jade slip lit up with a soft glow.

Ji Ziyi slowly opened her eyes, radiant as stars, and lightly tapped it with a jade-like finger.

"At Clear Breeze Town on the edge of the Eastern Wasteland, a girl named Zhu Zhuqing has been found. She has no cultivation, a bone age of approximately twelve, and manifests purple fortune..."

"A girl favored by the Heavenly Dao?"

Ji Ziyi murmured to herself, her voice as clear and cool as a jade chime. "Aside from the gifted noble daughters of those Imperial Clans, can ordinary mortals actually be born with such fortune? How curious."

She pondered briefly, light flowing around her fingertip as she left an imprint on the messaging jade slip:

"There is something unusual about this girl. She may warrant attention."

"Once she understands the White Jade Capital's rules, transfer her to the White Jade Capital and report the information to Sister Guyue."
