Pampered By All In Different Planes-Chapter 294: After Disguising Herself as a Man, the Rabbit Spirit Ran Away with Her Child 4
Originally, members of the Demon Clan needed to be selected by the Upper Gods or chosen by the housekeepers of the Divine Palace to be taken away.
However, Feng Qing believed that she admired the Changqi Upper God and was wholeheartedly keen on sweeping the floors.
Even more coincidentally, there indeed was a vacancy for a sweeper in the Changqi Palace.
Feng Qing believed this was divine will and with a grand gesture, she sent her directly to sweep the floors.
"Su Zhiruan?" the elderly housekeeper of the Changqi Palace looked at the list, then at the scrawny young man standing behind him, momentarily at a loss for words, and asked her doubtfully, "Your name sounds like that of a woman?"
In this world, Su Zhiruan was from the Rabbit Clan, not very tall, with a fair and sweet appearance. She had put a lot of effort into disguising herself as a man. She was prepared for this question, "Sir, I am from the Rabbit Clan. This is how we, in the Rabbit Clan, name ourselves."
"Oh, the Rabbit Clan!" The housekeeper stroked his goatee, appearing to have an epiphany, then he patted Su Zhiruan on the shoulder earnestly, "If it’s the Rabbit Clan, then it makes sense. Follow me, according to Young Master Feng Qing, you admire the respected deity wholeheartedly and only want to come to the Divine Palace to sweep floors and guard the gate, right?"
"Yes, I have admired the respected deity for a long time. Just to stay in the Divine Palace, to see the respected deity, would leave me without regrets in this life!" Seeing this, Su Zhiruan immediately declared her loyalty, catching the housekeeper’s approving and proud glance, she seized the opportunity to say, "Meeting you today, sir, I immediately felt a sense of kinship. I hope you wouldn’t mind giving me some guidance from time to time afterward."
"Very well," the old housekeeper nodded, "then follow me, and I’ll tell you the rules along the way."
"Yes." Su Zhiruan followed him.
Along the way, Su Zhiruan roughly learned about the situation in the Divine World from him.
Currently, the Divine World had five Upper Gods, and originally there was also an Immortal Emperor, but the Immortal Emperor had disappeared, leaving only a Divine Palace behind. Some said he had dissipated into immortality.
These five Upper Gods held prestigious positions, led by Changqi Upper God, and they currently jointly governed the Divine World.
"Once you are in the Changqi Palace, remember to be diligent and responsible in your duties," the old housekeeper imparted, then heaved a sigh of relief and looked toward the awe-inspiring architecture in the clouds not far away, "We have arrived."
Su Zhiruan looked up.
As a Divine Palace, the building was indeed majestic and grand.
Spiritual energy was abundant, lingering around the palace, with immortal cranes and divine birds fluttering nearby. A few servants were busily working at the entrance, the palace doors were pristine white, displaying only the staggered rooms from above, the specifics obscured.
It seemed that Changqi Upper God was not in today. After the housekeeper took her in for registration and prepared her identity token and other necessary items.
The Divine Palace was vast, yet there were not many servants. Changqi Upper God did not like many people attending him closely, so aside from a few who swept and cleaned, there were only the newly arrived Su Zhiruan and the old housekeeper managing the Divine Palace.
Perhaps due to the extensive grounds, even the servants’ quarters in the Divine Palace were single rooms, although small. Su Zhiruan was quite satisfied with this, for it allowed her to disguise herself better.
After adapting for a few days, she gradually settled into a tranquil and detached lifestyle.
Working in the Changqi Palace should be considered one of the most leisurely jobs in the entire Divine World, a statement the old housekeeper personally said to Su Zhiruan.
"Will the respected deity take a long time to return?" Su Zhiruan asked while wiping the table, "I had hoped to meet the respected deity, but it’s been almost a month now, and there’s still no sign of him."
The old housekeeper cheerfully explained, "After the disappearance of the Immortal Emperor, our respected deity is the highest among the five Upper Gods. Naturally, his daily responsibilities are endless; it’s normal for you not to see him."

Su Zhiruan nodded and continued to sweep the floor diligently.
She was having a good time in the Changqi Palace.
There were very few servants in the Divine Palace, and they were all old acquaintances who had known each other for thousands of years. Not only did they know each other’s backgrounds, but they also knew exactly what clothes each had in their closets.
When Su Zhiruan arrived here, they were all very curious about the newcomer, especially as she showed a great curiosity about the entire Divine World. They were all willing to act as mentors to her, just as they saw their past selves in her.
Moreover, since she was articulate and had high emotional intelligence, able to read people well, Su Zhiruan quickly became the beloved of the Divine Palace.
It happened that day.
Su Zhiruan was diligently working as usual when the old housekeeper walked in, shrouded in mystery.
"The Lord is returning today! Since you’ve long admired him, go to the front gate, and you can see him!" The old housekeeper handed her a broom and gestured for Su Zhiruan to hurry.
She would finally meet the Son of the Plane this time.
Su Zhiruan followed the old housekeeper to the grand gate.
Soon, the gate was slowly opened, and the Changqi Upper God stepped in with a slow pace.
On both sides, the servants bowed in unison.
"Welcome, my Lord——"
"Welcome, my Lord——"
Su Zhiruan also stood and bowed.
In the moment she looked up, she saw her mission target——
Changqi Upper God, with countless experiences, currently forty thousand years old. Immortals don’t age, and the moment Su Zhiruan saw his face, a wave of awe surged through her.
The Changqi Upper God surprisingly had snow-white hair!
His facial features were exceptionally fine, incredibly exquisite. Not just in the Human World, such unparalleled looks would stand out anywhere!
The Upper God’s hair was long, tied with a hairband, and his robe was pure white with dark patterns of immortal cranes and various Immortal Beasts. Every step he took, it was clear that he was a detached deity.
His eyes harbored neither passion nor desire, but only coldness and indifference.
He was like the unblemished snow atop the mountaintop, thousands of years old, different from any Son of the Plane she had seen before.
Su Zhiruan needed just one meeting to make up her mind.
He was a deity, destined not to harbor any superfluous emotions, much less to develop any feelings with a frail little Rabbit Demon like her.
Su Zhiruan thought it over carefully, and realized the difficulty of this mission was indeed quite daunting, akin to reviving a chicken that was already cooked back into a living one.
Thus, as long as the mission was completed, it would be sufficient.
Su Zhiruan, like everyone else, bowed her head and spoke no more.
After meeting the Son of the Plane, Su Zhiruan had a plan in mind and decided to start her cultivation first.
The advantage of being in the Divine Palace became apparent then; including the old housekeeper, everyone possessed considerable strength.
Moreover, the spiritual energy at Changqi Palace was abundant, doubling the effectiveness of her cultivation efforts.
Within just two simple months, she had transformed the original host’s feeble body into that of a Rabbit Demon skilled in basic spells, who often exercised and had decent physical fitness.
Even the simple spells were now effortlessly at her command.
This was Su Zhiruan’s first time in such a world, and she needed to break her previous perceptions and learn anew.
