Sister #2: "Yeah, you're pretty amazing. You've already topped the leaderboard on your first consecutive quest."
Sister #3: "Was the mission target male or female? Judging from how smoothly you completed it, it should be male, and definitely very handsome. Sister Qiao's abilities are also insufficient for this task. I estimate that the man's status is also very high, definitely a god, and a god whose wrath can shake the eight wastelands!"
And so, we've gone off-topic.
There's no way to bring them back.
Qiao Zhen simply stuffed the cheap-quality Kunlun Mirror back into her sleeve. "Little Zero, what are you doing here with me? Have you been planning this all along?!"
Xiao Ling: [Boss Qiao, even though you're bored out of your mind right now, there's no need to make malicious assumptions about me, is there? I'm just a wild system.]
Chu Chu leaned on Qiao Zhen's shoulder, "Zhenzhen, shall we go prepare our outfits for the Purple Bamboo Banquet?"
Qiao Zhen raised her arm, rubbing her chin with her thumb and forefinger. "The Purple Bamboo Banquet's theme is ancient Eastern culture. What kind of skirts should we wear? Ruqun?"
Xiao Ling looked completely bewildered: "Do your banquets have different categories—Eastern/Western, or Ancient/Modern?"
“That’s right. We have a wider range of acceptable options. Just think about it, at a banquet, one person is wearing an ancient-style ruqun (a type of traditional Chinese dress), another is wearing a modern Western floor-length gown, and yet another is wearing a leopard print dress, along with cheongsams, overalls, and so on. Wouldn’t that be like a hodgepodge?” Qiao Zhen clicked her tongue twice. “Just thinking about it makes me feel that it’s not proper.”
Chu Chu nodded her chubby little head, "Yes, but Zhenzhen still has a lot of new clothes in her wardrobe that she hasn't worn yet, right? How about we wear that purple one? It's a little glamorous but not so over-the-top as to steal the show, and besides, this is the first banquet hosted by the Heavenly Emperor that you're attending! We have to be very, very careful!!"
Qiao Zhen nodded thoughtfully, "Okay, then I'll wear that one."
The long-awaited Purple Bamboo Banquet has finally arrived.
All the gods and immortals entered the banquet early.
"The Supreme God Chonghua has arrived—"
"The serene and ethereal deity has arrived—"
"Then the Supreme God arrived—"
...
The arrival of the six ancient gods caused quite a stir among the immortals and gods. After all, no banquet in tens of thousands of years had ever been as grand as this one.
"The Goddess Nuwa has arrived!"
Qiao Zhen frowned as she looked at the dishes in front of her. "What is it that you've invited Aunt to this feast?"
Xiao Ling: [Is Nuwa really that powerful?]
Chu Chu said disdainfully, "Nuwa created humans, and humans created technology. Don't you think she's amazing?"
Nuwa glanced at him casually, and Qiao Zhen felt a jolt in his heart. "Shut up, all of you! Our aunt is not someone we can talk to. Show some respect!"
As the banquet subsided, a voice that shook the four seas and eight wastelands resounded: "Welcome, Heavenly Emperor—"
Qiao Zhen rose with the others and knelt on the ground, saying, "This humble immortal respectfully welcomes Your Majesty."
He felt an overwhelming aura approaching, powerful yet restrained. "All of you, rise."
Di Zhao turned his gaze to Qiao Zhen, who nearly collapsed to the ground. Fortunately, Di Zhao had no intention of toying with Qiao Zhen, and merely glanced at her before looking away.
Even if it's described in a very understated way, it's still a sign of the Heavenly Emperor's "favor"!
Xiao Ling: [It's nothing special!]
Qiao Zhen: [Shut up! This isn't a place for someone of your skill level to have a chance! Stop acting like a fool and showing off your superiority, okay?! Otherwise, I'll teach you a lesson in no time!]
Chu Chu: [The Heavenly Emperor just glanced at me again.]
Qiao Zhen, enraged and embarrassed, shouted: "Shut up!"
Di Zhao held the chair arm with one hand and casually placed the other on his leg. It was an ordinary gesture, but when he did it, it always exuded an air of authority. This was probably what it meant to be imposing without being angry. "As the saying goes, there are heavens beyond heavens. A few days ago, the seventeenth barrier of the Heavenly Realm was broken. The creditors are: Taibai Shangshen, Qiao Zhenxianzi, the Master of Fate, and Lingchong Chuchu, with the command number 0."
You eat shit, bowl after bowl.
"Pfft." Qiao Zhen couldn't help but burst out laughing, and the banquet fell silent.
Emperor Zhao glanced helplessly at Qiao Zhen, but did not make things difficult for her. He was willing to let her off the hook, saying, "Reward her according to her merits."
With a wave of his sleeve, the God of the White Tiger changed his attire, while Qiao Zhen ascended to godhood. As a newly ascended deity, her cultivation and aura were impossible to conceal. Chu Chu also transformed into human form, a lovely fairy, while Xiao Ling transformed into a handsome boy.
This means that the Heavenly Emperor has the upper hand over the Heavenly Dao.
Qiao Zhen was dumbfounded. She felt like she was dreaming. She stared blankly at the purple dress that was more gorgeous than any other dress, and then looked at Chu Chu with her hand on her shoulder.
This is a case of one person attaining enlightenment, and even their chickens and dogs ascending to heaven!
She belatedly bowed, her voice tinged with trepidation, "This humble fairy thanks Your Majesty."
Di Zhao looked at Qiao Zhen, who was as timid as a quail, and asked with a half-smile, "I wonder what Fairy Qiao thinks?"
Qiao Zhen answered truthfully, "I have mixed feelings and don't know how to express them. I don't think I have ever had any goals or ambitions. I have been able to rise to prominence so quickly thanks to the God Lord's grace, which makes me very uneasy."
"You'll get used to it in a few days." Di Zhao didn't dare to ask any further questions. His lover was a bully at home, but now he was all respectful to him. Who knew what kind of trouble he would cause him once his true identity was revealed? "Let's begin the feast."
Everyone gathered to congratulate Qiao Zhen, and Qiao Zhen thanked them all politely and respectfully. After the Purple Bamboo Banquet, Qiao Zhen leaned on a piece of clothing, and a layer of sweat finally broke out on her back. "Oh my god, I was so scared. The peak of my life came too fast. I can't take it."
Venus smiled with narrowed eyes, "That's not necessarily true. Your peak is yet to come."
Qiao Zhen was nearly scared out of her wits. "No, I'm just a petty fairy."
When Taibai Jinxing mentioned some honor, Qiao Zhen assumed it was just the Heavenly Emperor announcing a reward at the banquet. After all, the Heavenly Emperor had never spoken before, so she was completely unprepared for such a significant reward.
