Just as Bai Zhi withdrew her spirit from the Lostbelt, she heard a shout.
"Which one?"
Bai Zhi stood up, stretched her body, and then opened the gate of the mansion.
A child dressed in blue stood in front, followed by a group of female immortals.
"This is what you are doing?"
After glancing at the group of people, Bai Zhi asked with some confusion.
“True Lord, I am from the Heavenly Court. His Majesty has been very concerned about your situation recently. After learning that you have not yet been provided with servants, our department specially dispatched this humble immortal with these celestial servants.”
"If you like, these fairy servants can also do some chores for you."
The boy first bowed, and then explained in detail why he had come here.
"Oh~"
Bai Zhi suddenly realized that the Celestial Office, to put it simply, was something similar to a personnel department, which would provide the gods in heaven with servants or other necessities.
Her rank wasn't low; even the Monkey King, the stable boy, had several servants under him. Strictly speaking, she should indeed have some servants to help her.
"Please thank your director for me, but I don't really need these celestial servants."
Hearing this, the boy became a little anxious. "True Lord, why don't you take another look? These celestial servants were all carefully selected by our company. Each one is skillful and clever. You won't lose out if you take a few back."
After saying that, he waved his hand behind him and said, "Quickly, tell the True Lord what you all know."
The female immortals immediately spoke up, "True Lord, I know how to cultivate immortal plants. I once..."
"I can……"
When these people spoke at the same time, the scene became somewhat chaotic.
"Stop, stop, stop."
Bai Zhi pressed her hands down with a slight headache. "This... well, fellow Daoist from the Immortal Bureau, I believe that the people selected by your bureau must be outstanding individuals. However, I already have my own chosen people, and I don't need any extra people to serve me."
"what?"
The boy was taken aback. "Have you taken in a mount, or a servant?"
There are quite a few celestial beings in the heavens who don't need their own celestial servants.
After all, many great immortals have their own lineages, and they have a considerable number of junior disciples, so it's not up to these immortal servants.
There is a good demand for lower-level immortals, but there is no future in being an immortal servant.
There's a saying that goes, "Even a seventh-rank official has to serve at the prime minister's gate," meaning that everyone would be vying to be a servant of a powerful deity.
"It's a nine-tailed fox."
"Nine-tailed fox..."
The child fell silent. This nine-tailed fox was indeed far superior to these celestial servants. After all, it was a member of the demon race with a name and lineage. Moreover, in terms of appearance, the nine-tailed fox was among the most outstanding.
Being Bai Zhi's attendant is perfectly fine.
However, he still did not give up. "True Lord, according to the rules, it is naturally fine for you to choose a page, a mount, or an attendant. But in this important place of Heaven, we also have the responsibility to check and register."
"If your nine-tailed fox is here, we can register it to prevent it from being mistaken for a monster of unknown origin and killed by the heavenly soldiers."
"Hmm...no problem, you wait here for a while, I'll call her out."
After saying that, Bai Zhi closed the door and returned to the mansion.
Just as Bai Zhi closed the door, a commotion broke out outside.
"Hey, didn't you say that Bai Zhi Zhenjun's side was short of servants? How come it's like this now?"
"Yes, we handed over quite a lot of things to you, and you confidently guaranteed that we would definitely be selected."
"You bastard, you took my treasure and this is how you treat me? Give me back my treasure."
"Oh dear, ladies, please stop shouting! How can you make such a racket at the entrance of the True Lord's Mansion? Please keep your voices down, please keep your voices down."
The boy immediately begged for mercy.
He only received the relevant orders today, saying that His Majesty seemed to be taking good care of Bai Zhi and even asked if Bai Zhi was used to being in heaven.
After inquiring around, the Director of the Celestial Bureau discovered that Bai Zhi, the emperor's favorite and Laozi's disciple, didn't even have a servant to do odd jobs. So the director gave him this task, asking him to carefully select some good people to send over for selection.
Bai Zhi had an excellent reputation in the Heavenly Court. She was generous and had an extraordinary status, which made the servants in the Celestial Bureau all yearn for her.
If Bai Zhi were to slip up something, it would be something that other places where people do equally arduous chores would never be able to compare to.
Therefore, many servants paid the boy a considerable referral fee so that he could bring them over.
In the end, it turned out that Bai Zhi had already found a nine-tailed fox.
This was a bolt from the blue.
"Ladies, don't panic. The True Lord has only taken in a nine-tailed fox. Think about it, what if it becomes his mount? Right?"
Seeing that a group of people wanted their money back, the boy quickly reassured them.
"Think about it, the nine-tailed fox isn't some common monster. It's a waste to use it as a servant. Perhaps the True Lord will need other servants."
"That's... true. Hmph, it'd better be as you say, otherwise we won't get any benefits, and you won't be able to escape either."
Seeing that the group of ladies had calmed down, the boy finally breathed a sigh of relief. At the same time, he prayed in his heart that Bai Zhi's nine-tailed fox must have some other identity, whether it was a disciple or a mount, it would be fine.
Meanwhile, after Bai Zhi used the abilities of the Shadow Legion, a black gate slowly opened in front of her.
"Migu?"
Tamamo-no-Mae poked her head out from the gate and looked around curiously.
"Tamamo, it's coming out soon."
"It's Master. I was wondering why I was suddenly summoned, and in such a strange way."
Upon seeing that it was Bai Zhi, Tamamo-no-Mae was relieved and jumped out of the black gate.
As soon as she landed, Tamamo-no-Mae looked around, staring at the omnipresent clouds in the heavenly palace, a thoughtful expression in her eyes.
"You're guessing where this is, right?"
Before Tamamo-no-Mae could answer, Bai Zhi said, "That's right, this is the Heavenly Court, and the place you are in is my True Lord's Mansion."
"Migu?!"
Tamamo-no-Mae felt her heart pound violently a few times; Bai Zhi had actually brought her to the Heavenly Court.
She was just looking forward to it at first. The idea of actually going to the Heavenly Court and then getting a position there was a bit of fantasy in her mind.
But now that Bai Zhi has brought her here, does that mean she can look forward to a position in the Heavenly Court?
Chapter 885 Tamamo-no-Mae: How about I seduce Master?
"Tamamo, do you know why I summoned you?"
"Migu? Please enlighten me, Master~"
"Outside the door, there are officials from the Heavenly Court. They are trying to introduce me to a group of celestial servants to take care of my daily needs and do chores."
"How can that be? Taking care of Master's daily life should be my responsibility. Those servants are too clumsy and can't possibly do it well. Besides, when I was in the Throne of Heroes, I even participated in the cooking training taught by Master Red Enma. This kind of thing should be done by me!"
Tamamo-no-Mae suddenly became excited. Those guys, they make it sound so nice, calling themselves immortal servants. If Bai Zhi really is Lao Jun's disciple, those guys must have come here with all sorts of ulterior motives.
Based on her experience, she is very familiar with these things.
How could she let someone else have such a good opportunity? Tamamo-no-Mae would not give it up without hesitation!
"Yes, so I told them that I already had someone to serve me, a nine-tailed fox. But they clearly didn't believe me, and even said... if it's true, then they can register you."
"Well, in a sense, you'll be considered to have ascended to the ranks of immortals by then."
Bai Zhi smiled and said something that was quite tempting to Tamamo-no-Mae.
"Migu Migu Migu? Joined the ranks of immortals!!"
Tamamo-no-Mae felt her heart beating faster than ever before. Although she had once guarded the tomb of the Yellow Emperor, she was still far from becoming an immortal.
Moreover, she could sense an energy level here that far exceeded that of the world she had been in before. The clouds and mist on the ground seemed to contain extremely condensed energy. Perhaps this was the legendary immortal energy.
If I could get a permanent position here, wouldn't that be wonderful?
"Yes, although your strength is a bit weak, that's a minor problem. One Nine-Turn Golden Pill will do."
If it were Tamamo-no-Mae in her Nine-Tails form, her strength would be respectable, but in her current Servant form, Bai Zhi can only assess her as being far inferior to any random minor demon king in the human world.
There's even less to say about it in Heaven.
"Nine-Turn Golden Elixir..."
Tamamo-no-Mae's eyes practically sparkled with gold. "Master, are you referring to the kind that the Supreme Being refined?"
Bai Zhi took out a gourd. "Look, I have a gourd in my hand. I usually eat it like candy."
Tamamo Mae:……
She felt that sometimes a Master being too domineering was not good news for the Servant's heart.
This thing can grant you instant immortality just by eating one; you eat it like candy, and she's practically crying with envy.
"Want to eat?"
Tamamo-no-Mae nodded repeatedly, even her fox ears twitched.
Is there anyone who wouldn't want to eat this?
"Come with me to register first, so you don't get mistaken for a monster and killed on the spot. Ever since that monkey caused trouble, the heavenly soldiers here have been training much harder."
Bai Zhi smiled and put the gourd away while Yu Zao watched her longingly.
The gates of the True Lord's Mansion were slowly pushed open.
The previously somewhat lax children and celestial servants immediately perked up, all turning their gazes toward the scene slowly emerging from the gate.
Bai Zhi walked in front, followed by a woman wearing a blue robe, with pink hair, animal ears, and a tail.
The moment the boy and his celestial servants saw Tamamo-no-Mae, the word "spicy" popped into their minds.
Although in their eyes, Tamamo-no-Mae's beast ears and tail were still there, which was a complete symbol of incomplete transformation, her looks and figure were undeniably stunning, and she even looked like a virtuous wife and loving mother.
"This...this is the nine-tailed fox that the True Lord subdued?"
Amidst the murderous gazes of the other celestial servants, the boy stammered, "What do you mean?"
"Yes, I would like to trouble you to register her for me."
"well……"
What could the boy say? He could only nod repeatedly. He couldn't force someone as capable and powerful as Bai Zhi to accept his arrangements.
That kind of thing can only be done to low-level immortals at most.
"What is this young lady's name?"
Helpless, the boy could only accept reality and asked Tamamo-no-Mae for an answer.
"I am Tamamo-no-Mae, thank you all for your help."
Tamamo-no-Mae smiled and bowed slightly, and there was absolutely nothing wrong with her.
"Tamamo-no-Mae... As expected of the one found by the True Lord Baizhi, her name is quite nice. Please wait here for a moment, young lady, and I will register you with the Celestial Bureau."
After the boy finished speaking, he ran out in a flash, so fast that no one present had time to react.
A few seconds later, the celestial servants came to their senses. This guy was probably afraid that they would do something in their dissatisfaction, which was why he ran away in such a hurry.
They were furious and wanted to beat the boy to a pulp, but Bai Zhi was there, so they could only maintain their elegant demeanor and keep it to themselves.
A moment later, the boy returned, carrying a booklet and accompanied by an acquaintance of Bai Zhi's—Zhu Bajie.
"Oh, True Lord, we've finally found you."
"Pigsy shouted, panting heavily."
"Why has Marshal Tianpeng come here? Could it be that the monkey has encountered some trouble again?"
Bai Zhi looked Zhu Bajie up and down, who was in a somewhat disheveled state, and asked.
"The True Lord is truly a prophet! My Monkey King has fallen into the trap of a yellow-browed demon and has been imprisoned in a golden cymbal. My junior brother Sha and I have tried our best but we still couldn't pry it open."
