My name is Qingque, and I am an ordinary diviner at the Luofu Divination Commission the Xianzhou Luofu.
Although many people in the Divination Commission) feel that I am not proactive enough at work, I want to solemnly declare that it is a complete misunderstanding. I have never shirked my responsibilities. It's just that life is short, and the lifespan of Xianzhou native is too long. If hundreds or thousands of years are spent burying oneself in work, what is the point of living? Taking appropriate rest, slacking off reasonably, and pursuing physical and mental health on the premise of completing one's duties is clearly a very scientific way of life.
Unfortunately, that great demon king clearly did not agree with my philosophy of life.
That day, under her watchful eye, I finally finished all my work and made sure I hadn't missed a single divination document. Without lingering for even a moment, I packed my things and prepared to leave the Divination Commission. After all, my dear divination buddies had already arranged a time for a thrilling and exciting Imperial Jade, and being even a little late might mean someone else would take my spot.
Thinking about this, I felt much lighter when I walked.
Then, I stepped out of the gates of the Divination Commission.
Then, I was dumbfounded.
The familiar streets of the Xianzhou, which I had known for just a moment before, vanished completely. There were no Starskiff, no Jade Gate, and none of the Luofu buildings that I could recognize with my eyes closed. In their place was a completely unfamiliar city. The houses on both sides of the street were strangely styled, the pedestrians wore clothes I had never seen before, and even the only means of transportation I could see were vehicles pulled by animals.
I stood there for a long time, thinking.
The final conclusion was that I probably hadn't left work yet.
Maybe I fell asleep while processing the files; this is all a nightmare caused by work.
However, before I could even verify my guess, two people in matching uniforms walked towards me. Their first words were to ask me to show some kind of identification.
I swear to God.
I had just stepped out of the gates of the Divination Commission Palace when I was thrown into this godforsaken place. How could I possibly have their identification documents on me?
So I fully demonstrated the resourcefulness expected of a Divination Commission and calmly told them that I had forgotten my credentials at home and that I would go back to get them immediately after giving them a little time.
As for where my home is, that's a question for later.
It turned out that these two people were not easy to fool at all.
As soon as I turned around, they shouted something like "There's definitely something wrong," and tried to arrest me. Since reasoning with them wasn't working, I had no choice but to choose a more direct solution—run.
I ran, they chased.
I turned the corner, and they kept chasing.
They even conjured up some strange powers, with glowing rings appearing under their feet. One of them suddenly became much faster and almost caught me on the spot.
However, as a proper diviner from the Divination Commission, although I don't usually like to waste my precious brainpower on work, when it really comes down to it, a little calculation is no problem. I can quickly and clearly calculate which alley is crowded, where I can block the view, and when to turn to leave the people behind.
Finally, I managed to shake off those two people.
After hiding in an empty alley, I leaned against the wall for a long time to recover, and even felt a little smug.
See? This is the professional competence of Divination Commission.
However, before I could catch my breath, I felt something grab the back of my collar.
Then, I took flight.
Yes, it really did take flight.
I was completely stunned. After my feet left the ground, I even instinctively kicked twice. When I finally managed to turn my head, I saw a short, white-haired figure grabbing my collar, with a pair of wings formed from some kind of power behind him.
He looked me up and down a few times, and the first thing he asked me was, "Little girl, you run pretty fast. Who exactly are you?"
What can I do?
Fighting him might not be enough to win, and running away meant being held in mid-air; he had no choice but to obediently follow him.
Later I learned that the white-haired man was called Guang Ling, and he was a very powerful figure in this organization called the Spirit Hall. He led me to a rather magnificent hall, where I met an old man with white hair and another old man who looked even older.
They didn't make things difficult for me.
After confirming that I wasn't from this place, they began asking about the Xianzhou, Luofu, and the Star Sea.
There were so many problems.
What is the Xianzhou? How big is Luofu? How many civilizations still exist in the Star Sea? Why can the Xianzhou native live for so long? What is the Starskiff? They asked more and more questions. At first, I explained seriously, but later I couldn't take it anymore.
More importantly, this unfamiliar place has no terminals, no card-playing friends, and I don't even know when I'll be able to return to Luofu.
As a devoted fan of the Imperial Jade, I feel it's necessary to broaden the horizons of those who have never experienced the excellent entertainment culture of the Xianzhou.
So I took out the Celestial Jade that I always carried with me.
At first, the old men were skeptical, especially the white-haired guy named Guang Ling, who even thought these little cubes weren't fun at all.
Then I taught them a game.
I taught them another game.
And then, it turned into the same state as before.
Qingque sat at the square table, finally finishing her account of her experiences after arriving in the Douluo Continent. She scratched her hair, a slightly embarrassed smile on her face, "That's about it. I really don't know how I got here. I was just leaving work normally, about to go out to play a few rounds of Imperial Jade with my friends, and after crossing the gate of the Divination Commission, I suddenly found myself here. I didn't see any spatial rift, nor did I feel anyone attacking me; it probably took less than a blink of an eye."
The Worship Hall fell silent for a moment.
Qian Daoliu didn't look at the Celestial Jade on the table again, and Golden Crocodile Douluo also frowned. Compared to Borisin's initiative in crossing the spatial rift to come to the Douluo Continent, Qingque's appearance without any warning was obviously much stranger.
Qian Renxue then looked at Lin Yuan.
She originally thought that Lin Yuan would immediately analyze the problems after listening, but instead she found that Lin Yuan was covering his face with his hand, looking like he had no idea where to start complaining.
"So, after you got off work at the Temple of the Divination Commission, you were planning to play cards, but you ended up in Spirit City. After being chased by patrolling Soul Master for several streets, you were caught by your teacher and brought back. Then you spent a few days in the Worship Hall teaching the Great Enshrined and several other elders how to play the Celestial Jade?"
Qingque thought about it carefully for a moment, then nodded and said, "Although some details were omitted, there are basically no problems."
Lin Yuan remained silent for a few moments, then finally let out a long sigh.
"As expected of you, Heavenly Emperor Que."
" The Heavenly Emperor Que?"
Qingque had clearly never heard of this title before. After a moment of surprise, she didn't find anything wrong with it. Instead, she scratched her head and grinned foolishly, "Although I don't know why you call me that, it sounds pretty impressive. If you think I play the Celestial Jade well, then I'll reluctantly accept this title."
Lin Yuan's lips twitched.
He is now completely certain.
The person in front of me is definitely the real Qingque.
When others are inexplicably transported to a strange world, the first thing they do is figure out their situation, and the second is try to find a way home. But Qingque is different. After being captured and taken to the Spirit Hall, she not only quickly adapted to the environment, but also managed to develop three new Celestial Jade friends.
Even Qian Daoliu was dragged into the mess.
Lin Yuan lowered his hand, his gaze returning to Qingque, the helplessness on his face gradually fading. Jokes aside, her appearance was by no means a trivial matter.
Borisin was able to come to the Douluo Continent.
Now, the Xianzhou native have also appeared.
Moreover, Qingque didn't even actively cross the spatial rift; she simply stepped out of the gate of the Divination Commission normally, and the space was displaced in that instant.
This means that the changes taking place between the Douluo Continent and the Star Sea are probably far more complex than they previously estimated.
Lin Yuan glanced at the scattered Celestial Jade on the table, then looked at Qingque still looked relaxed.
" Qingque, you can play the cards later."
"There are some things I need to talk to you about."
Qingque's smile immediately faded.
She glanced at Lin Yuan, then looked down at the hand of cards she had just won, and a strange, familiar premonition suddenly arose in her heart.
She often experienced this feeling at the Divination Commission.
This usually means --
I have to work overtime again.
