Quick Wear Dream Qiqi

Chapter 224 Peach Blossom 38

Emperor Donghua was silent for a moment and said, "Come in, don't disturb my peace for too long."

Meng Qiqi was overjoyed and quickly followed the Emperor into Taichen Palace.

After entering Taichen Palace, Meng Qiqi looked around curiously. Everywhere here was exquisite and luxurious, but also filled with a sense of coldness.

Emperor Donghua walked straight to the main seat in the hall, and after sitting down, he looked at Meng Qiqi who was standing below with a slightly reserved look.

"What exactly is the confusion you are talking about? Don't waste my time." Emperor Donghua crossed his arms and looked at him with a scrutinizing look.

Meng Qiqi took a deep breath and was about to speak when she saw Emperor Donghua raise his hand and wave, and a faint light appeared around them.

Meng Qiqi was surprised to find that the Emperor's originally stern and perfect face, like a sculpture, had changed slightly. The seemingly cold but actually gentle appearance disappeared, revealing a more real and profound expression.

Meng Qiqi's eyes widened. This was a look of the Emperor she had never seen before.

Emperor Donghua saw her expression and raised the corners of his mouth slightly, saying with a half-smile, "Little girl, I have only removed a little of the illusion on my face. With so many visitors to this palace every day, I cannot show my true face to them."

Meng Qiqi came back to her senses, quickly lowered her head, and whispered, "The Emperor is truly mysterious."

The atmosphere in Taichen Palace was subtle at this time. Meng Qiqi felt as if she had stepped into an unknown territory, and her heart began to beat faster involuntarily.

Meng Qiqi calmed herself down and began to talk about her doubts about the circulation of spiritual power during her cultivation.

Emperor Donghua listened patiently and gave some advice from time to time.

As they communicated more, the strange sense of familiarity in Meng Qiqi's heart became stronger and stronger.

After the Emperor had answered all her questions, Meng Qiqi mustered up the courage to ask, "Emperor, I don't know why, but Qiqi feels like you look very familiar, as if I've seen you somewhere before."

Emperor Donghua raised an eyebrow. "Oh? Little girl, are you mistaken? I've never revealed my true face to you before, and I rarely even go out."

Meng Qiqi shook her head: "No, Emperor, Qiqi once met a man in a valley. The man's demeanor and temperament were somewhat similar to the Emperor's."

A subtle, strange light flashed in Emperor Donghua's eyes. "Valley? I've certainly never been there."

However, Meng Qiqi keenly caught the instantaneous change in the Emperor's expression, and her doubts grew even greater.

But she also knew that it was not appropriate to ask further questions at this moment, so she bowed and took her leave.

After leaving Taichen Palace, Meng Qiqi walked slowly in the Ninth Heaven.

He secretly thought that he must stay in the Ninth Heaven and find another opportunity to investigate this matter. Maybe there is an astonishing secret hidden behind it.

As Meng Qiqi walked, she kept an eye out for any news about recruiting immortal servants.

When passing by a palace, I saw a job recruitment notice posted at the door, which said that it was recruiting several fairy maids to be responsible for cleaning the yard and other chores.

Meng Qiqi's eyes lit up. Isn't this exactly the opportunity she needed?

She lowered her cultivation to that of an earthly immortal, then changed her appearance, straightened her clothes, and went forward to knock on the door.

An elderly fairy opened the door, looked Meng Qiqi up and down, and said, "Are you here to apply for a fairy maid as well?"

Meng Qiqi nodded hurriedly.

The old fairy led her into the house, where she saw several little fairies who had come to apply for the position already standing.

The interview began. When it was Meng Qiqi's turn, she spoke calmly about her background and her determination to stay in the Ninth Heaven.

The interviewers exchanged glances, and one of them said, "You seem quite clever. Although your cultivation isn't high, you're still qualified for this job."

Meng Qiqi was overjoyed and quickly expressed her gratitude.

At this moment, a figure appeared at the door. Meng Qiqi looked up and saw that it was the fairy boy beside Emperor Donghua.

The fairy boy glanced at Meng Qiqi and said to everyone, "The Emperor heard that this place is recruiting fairy servants, so he specially sent me to take a look. If there are suitable candidates, they will be sent to Taichen Palace as a priority."

When the fairies heard this, they all showed envy in their eyes and straightened their backs, hoping to be chosen.

The fairy boy walked slowly, his eyes sweeping over the fairies one by one.

When his eyes fell on Meng Qiqi, he paused slightly.

Meng Qiqi's heart tightened. Had her cultivation level been discovered to be fake? Just as she was feeling anxious, the fairy boy said, "You, come here."

It was actually pointing at Meng Qiqi.

Meng Qiqi walked forward and bowed respectfully.

The fairy boy circled around her and asked softly, "Why do you want to stay in the Ninth Heaven?"

Meng Qiqi was well prepared and replied, "I have long admired the immortals of the Ninth Heaven and longed to learn and cultivate here to improve myself."

After hearing this, the fairy boy nodded slightly, and looked at Meng Qiqi carefully for a moment, as if he was thinking about something.

After a long while, the fairy boy finally said, "I think I met you by chance in Taichen Palace. I was quite impressed by you. I think you have a pure heart and are quite suitable to enter Taichen Palace."

Meng Qiqi was shocked. She didn't expect that she had given such a good impression to others. However, she thanked him calmly.

Although the other fairies were unwilling, they could only sigh inwardly.

In this way, Meng Qiqi was chosen by the fairy boy and was about to enter Taichen Palace to serve.

Meng Qiqi followed the fairy boy back to Taichen Palace.

The fairy boy took her to a side hall, handed her to a fairy maid and left.

The fairy maid looked Meng Qiqi up and down and said calmly, "You're new here, so you'll start by doing odd jobs in the kitchen. Although it's just odd jobs, there are many rules here, so you have to learn them well."

Meng Qiqi nodded hurriedly.

On the first day she entered the kitchen, Meng Qiqi was dazzled by all the strange kitchen utensils and ingredients.

Some of those ingredients emit spiritual light, and some even move.

Meng Qiqi timidly picked up a knife-like magical tool to cut vegetables, but accidentally cut her finger and a drop of blood fell on a spiritual plant.

In an instant, the spiritual plant grew rapidly like crazy and wrapped around Meng Qiqi's arm.

The surrounding immortal chefs were horrified when they saw this. Someone shouted, "This is a rare spiritual plant that only appears once in a thousand years. How did you mess it up like this?"

Meng Qiqi was so frightened that she didn't know what to do. She thought she was going to get into big trouble and would be kicked out of Taichen Palace as soon as she arrived.

Just when Meng Qiqi thought she might have to leave Taichen Palace, an older immortal chef hurried over.

He glanced at Meng Qiqi who was entangled, frowned, and recited the magic spell quickly.

The spiritual plant gradually let go of Meng Qiqi's arm and slowly shrank back to its original size.

The immortal chef walked towards Meng Qiqi with a sullen look on his face, and scolded her, "How can you be so rash, little immortal? This spiritual plant is extremely precious. Fortunately, nothing serious happened today. You must be more careful next time."

Meng Qiqi lowered her head and replied softly, "Yes, I know I was wrong."

The immortal chef sighed, looked at Meng Qiqi again, and softened his tone a little: "You are a newcomer too, so before you do anything, try to observe how others do it. This Taichen Palace is full of rare items, and a little carelessness could lead to disaster."

Meng Qiqi quickly nodded in agreement.

In the days that followed, Meng Qiqi worked with all her might in the kitchen.

She was careful and diligent every day, and gradually mastered many skills in handling spiritual plants and using kitchen utensils.
