Sir!
Following the voices calling for Sir and Superior Immortal.
Two demons, four little gods, the grown-up Fat Ya, and a City God shrouded in black fog from head to toe.
The crowd gathered around.
Seeing this scene,
Xuanqing’s gaze swept over them, and when he saw Fat Ya, who had grown tall and graceful, his gaze lingered for a moment.
“Black Bear, White Snake, Fat Ya, come forward and listen to the bestowing of the Lu cards!”
With these words,
They have already learned from the City God that a Daoist Immortal Officer who has reached the secondary seventh rank of ‘Taiji Right Palace Supervisor Immortal Official, Supreme Pure Department of Lushu Signing Books’ has the authority to grant Lu cards for registration.
More importantly, even if it is ‘reporting’ nominally, it is almost a sure thing in the special case of a Daoist Immortal Official.
That is to say,
Their status will no longer belong to the management of Hell, but to the Immortal’s Household Department of the Eastern Emperor of the Heavenly Court.
“Sir, are we…are we really going to be on the Immortal’s Register?”
Young Lord White Snake’s eyes were red, and he covered his mouth with his long sleeves, fearing that he might accidentally upset Sir with his composure.
“Roar! Old…Sir-roar!”
Black Bear Essence roared even louder, its thick lips quivering constantly, shaking its body excitedly.
Only Fat Ya lowered her head, hesitating to stand in place, her gaze probing at the familiar yet strange Sir.
One day in heaven,
A year on earth.
It is said that one is tender and graceful in their eleventh year, and in their cardamom age at the beginning of February.
At this moment, Fat Ya is no longer the chubby little girl she once was.
She put on makeup, wore a long skirt, her eyes were rippling with water, but there was an indiscernible charm in them.
“Fat Ya…come here!
“Oh!”
Her gauze skirt swayed, and her jade arm lightly tucked in, showing her graceful, dignified demeanor as a well-bred young lady.
Xuanqing raised his hand, intending to touch Fat Ya’s head as he had done before.
However, his hand stopped halfway through the air.
A few days ago, she was still an ignorant child.
Reappearing before him now, she had already become a beautiful embryo of elegant features and without makeup.
She has grown up!
Therefore,
Xuanqing retracted his right hand.
He took a deep breath, his expression calming down somewhat.
“Fat Ya, this is the last time I call you Fat Ya. Have you thought about your Daoist name, or shall 1 give you one?”
Before, it didn’t matter what the Daoist child was called, but now that she was to be granted a Lu card into the Immortal’s Register, it must be a proper name.
Otherwise,
When others meet in the future, it will be someone the likes of True Man and Immortal Lady, and when it comes to her, it will become Fat Ya the Immortal Lady, which doesn’t sound good and is against etiquette!
“Old…Sir, I’ll leave it up to you!”
Fat Ya lowered her head, clutching the corner of her clothes.
The sight of her twisting and shyly avoiding him made Xuanqing feel a little uncomfortable.
“Forget it, forget it, after Xuan in the poor way is Qing, the relationship between you and me originated from a bowl of water, so let’s call it Qingwan!
ii
Fat Ya…no, she should be called Qingwan, but she stood there in a daze, not knowing what to do.
At the side,
The Land God of Black Wind Town hurried to Qingwan’s side, “Fat…Qingwan, Wan’er, why don’t you hurry up and thank Sir for giving you a name?”
Qingwan woke up like a dream.
Thump –
“Qingwan…thanks Sir for giving me a name!”
“Hmm!”
Xuanqing let out a light snort, raised his hand and motioned for the other to stand up.
Then,
With a thought,
The Immortal Official’s Jade Seal around his waist floated in the air on its own, emitting the awe-inspiring aura of a seventh rank Immortal Official.
“Representing the Lesser Yang Emperor of the Eastern Purple Mansion, Daoist Immortal Official Xuanqing, Secondary Seventh-Rank Taiji Right Palace Supervisor Immortal Official, Upper Purity, Responsible for the Sutra Signatures, Thunder Lord!”
With a soft whisper,
The Officer Jade Card floating in midair, even in broad daylight, radiated dazzling light.
“Extraordinary! You’ve passed the test for the Immortal Officer Jade Card! ■Qingwan’ is now a member of the Taiji Right Palace and will be the Left Judge of the Five Thunder Court with a standard ninth-ranking immortal dwelling!”
As soon as these words were spoken,
Humming-
Waves rippled through the air.
It was like a stone thrown into calm water, splashing ripples in all directions.
The Immortal Officer Jade Card shone brilliantly, forming a pillar of light that sped at an indiscernible speed toward the distant heavenly palace.
Moments later,
Boom-
Dark clouds rolled in the sky.
A beam of light descended from heaven, enveloping Qingwan’s entire body in divine aura.
Upon seeing this,
Black Bear Essence and Gentleman Bai She’s excitement surged, desperately swallowing their throats, and when they thought it would be their turn soon, their hearts were burning with anticipation.
On the side,
The little old man of Black Wind Mountain’s Land God was overjoyed, his face creased in laughter.
Because from their lineage, Fat Ya (Qingwan) was still his descendant.
Moreover, after Xuanqing descended from the mountain, it has been the Black Wind Mountain’s Land God who had been taking care of Qingwan, right up until she grew up and became an adult. The bond between them was deep and profound.
The divine aura dissipated.
Qingwan’s temperament underwent a drastic change, as an inexplicable charm enveloped her body— no longer the young girl she once was, now possessing an untouchable goddess-like temperament.
“Qingwan… I thank Sir for granting me the Officer Jade Card.”
Xuanqing nodded slightly.
He then looked at the Black Bear Essence and Gentleman Bai She standing to the side.
“Have you thought of a Daoist name, or would you prefer that 1…”
“We’ve thought of one, thought of one!”
As soon as the words fell,
Gentleman Bai She’s eyes shone with excitement, he shouted: “Please, grant me the name… Qingxu!”
Qingxu?
Xuanqing looked at the slender Gentleman Bai She and thought to himself; indeed, he seemed rather empty.
Since he had already thought of a Daoist name, Xuanqing naturally wouldn’t hinder him.
At that moment,
The same act of bestowing the Officer Jade Card upon Qingwan was repeated for Bai She.
Within moments,
Accompanied by a beam of light descending on White Snake Qingxu, he transformed from a first-ranked demon into an immortal, and the demonic aura on his body changed into immortal power under the influence of the heavenly rules.
“Thank you… Thank you, Sir, for granting me the Officer Jade Card.”
Gentleman Bai She kowtowed on the ground, knocking his head incessantly.
“I… I shall be known as Daoist Qingxu from now on, big brother, 1 shall be known as Daoist Qingxu.”
“Hehe, good younger brother, I shall call you Qingxu from now on.” The Black Bear Essence laughed naively and said with a muffled voice.
Having said that,
The Black Bear Essence looked at Xuanqing, and then with a somewhat shy expression, scratched his head and said:
Sir, you see, I’m all black, and that ‘green’ color doesn’t quite suit me.”
“If I’m called the Green Bear, it wouldn’t sound right either, you see… So, can 1 keep my name as Black Bear?”
Upon hearing this,
Xuanqing pondered.
To say that the Black Bear’s whole body was like rolling in coal would still be an understatement; he was simply as black as pitch.
Except for a pair of white eyes and the pure white teeth, everything else was utterly black.
“Fine, i am not such a pedantic person. As long as your heart is loyal, a name is just a symbol!”
Xuanqing smiled and shook his head.
And so,
The two demons, along with the newly renamed Qingwan, all became standard ninth-ranked Left Judges under Xuanqing’s command.
Although they didn’t hold additional positions like Xuanqing as Thunder City Supervisor, they had joined the ranks of the Immortal Officials and were no longer nameless individuals.
And so it is!
One ascended to immortality, bringing up those around them!
