Pampered By All In Different Planes-Chapter 303: After Dressing as a Man, the Bunny Spirit Ran Away Pregnant 13
After stepping back, Su Zhiruan planned to find the old housekeeper again to exchange a few more words.
She had originally believed that there wouldn’t be much gossip in the Divine World, since everyone had lived for tens of thousands of years and were beings of pure hearts and few desires, naturally they wouldn’t be idle and generate a bunch of gossip.
But now it seemed that she had underestimated the situation.
The old housekeeper, seeing her come out so soon, was a bit puzzled, "Xiaosu, why have you come out so early? I thought the esteemed one would take you back with him!"
"The esteemed one asked me to step back first," Su Zhiruan followed behind him, continuing to ask with curiosity, "By the way, Young Master Feng Qing is only five thousand years old, and the deity Shuyue should be tens of thousands of years old, right? How did they meet?"
"It is said that it was during the great war between gods and demons in the Ancient Times," the old housekeeper put the scissors away in the cabinet and leisurely started to share the gossip he had heard before with Su Zhiruan, "At that time, Young Master Feng Qing was but a three hundred year-old child. He followed the Phoenix Clan to watch the battle, and after seeing the deity Shuyue’s impressive bearing, he could never forget her. Rumor has it that they never actually met face to face, and Shuyue didn’t even speak to Young Master Feng Qing, but Young Master Feng Qing has expressed his affection for deity Shuyue on his own."
Even Su Zhiruan, who had seen much and lived several lifetimes, felt like she had a brainstorm after hearing this convoluted tale.
The words were clear enough, but combined, they sounded incredibly strange.
Without ever having seen her face or spoken a word to her, Feng Qing had harbored an unrequited love for deity Shuyue, ever since he witnessed her impressive bearing as a child, for thousands of years.
After hearing the gossip, Su Zhiruan felt satisfied and started to help the old housekeeper with his work.
About an hour later, Su Zhiruan saw a paper figurine circling above her head that looked very familiar— it was the same one given to her by Changqi.
She took out the small paper figurine from a concealed pocket in her sleeve, compared the two, and indeed found that Changqi was calling her.
The old housekeeper, who had been focused on his work, noticed Su Zhiruan suddenly stop and followed her gaze to the delicate paper figurine hovering in midair.
"This is the esteemed one’s paper figurine, he must be summoning you back. You go ahead, Xiaosu, I’m enough to handle things here. It’s not hard work," the housekeeper confidently stepped forward to take the watering can from Su Zhiruan’s hands.
But at that moment—
"How come you have the esteemed one’s paper figurine?!"
He stared wide-eyed, watching the paper figurine circle uncertainly in mid-air before finally landing in Su Zhiruan’s hand, while her face showed complete bafflement.
"This paper figurine?" she lifted the paper figurine to show to the old housekeeper and said truthfully, "It was a gift from the esteemed one, to facilitate communication."
"The esteemed one personally gave it to you?!" The housekeeper’s mouth fell open. After having a good look and confirming that both paper figurines were a match, he let out a sigh of admiration, "I didn’t expect the esteemed one to consider you so highly, Xiaosu, you must work hard from now on, and never betray his kindness."
"Housekeeper, is there something special about this paper figurine?" Su Zhiruan raised her own doubt, as she had thought that everyone in the Divine World had one, seeing as the old housekeeper gave her one, and then the Son of the Plane gave her another.

The housekeeper sighed deeply, "Paper figurines are common, but the esteemed one’s paper figurines are rare. Only Young Master Feng Qing and a few deities have them, but now, the esteemed one has also given you a paper figurine, which shows his high regard for you!"
"I see, rest assured, I will definitely not let down the esteemed one and your expectations," Su Zhiruan infused the paper figurine with spiritual power and received a two-word message in return.
"Come back."
The voice from the paper figurine was faint.
The housekeeper urged her to hurry back, "All right, go back quickly, the esteemed one is waiting for you."
The two small paper figurines circled in midair, as if telling her it was time to return to the Book Collection Pavilion. Thus, without further delay, Su Zhiruan hastened back to the Book Collection Pavilion.
Upon entering the Book Collection Pavilion again, Changqi was still perusing scrolls.
In the Divine World where there was no clear leader, although he was only a deity, he assumed responsibility for various affairs of the Divine World at this time. All day long he dealt with official documents from all realms or conducted inspections incognito to investigate the conditions of the different realms.
"You’re back?" He lifted his eyelids, peering out from the mountain of paperwork, and gazed at her with his exceptionally beautiful eyes, stating quietly, "Come and work; the documents are too many. You categorize them."
"Yes."
Su Zhiruan swiftly moved these things away from Changqi and sorted them according to category.
By now, she had become very proficient at it, and soon had all the paperwork sorted and dispatched.
After she finished with these tasks, night had fallen.
It turned to night in the Divine World too, and nightfall in the Divine World was much more beautiful than that of the Human World.
The sky was filled with stars that seemed washed with water, shining brilliantly. These twinkling lights swirled around Changqi Palace, combining stillness and motion, creating an illusion of being in a mysterious cosmos.
"Tired," Changqi remarked with a sigh, then leaned back on the soft couch.
With a flick of his sleeve, several wine jars appeared on the table. Su Zhiruan watched, dumbfounded.
"Care to share a drink?"
The deity’s brows were like distant mountains, and as he looked towards her, it seemed as if he was reaching through vast ages. His gesture caused his sleeve to roll up, revealing strong wrists and lovely wrist bones. His fingertips were slender as he picked up a wine cup.
"I..."
Su Zhiruan fell silent.
She truly hadn’t expected that he would also...
