Chapter 1181: Chapter 25: Best Friends Forever
"Dad, why did you skip work?" Tianmiao looked at Heavenly Dao. "Don’t scare Jinglou, I’m taking him home to play. He’s really well-behaved."
"Yeah, I can see that, very well-behaved." Heavenly Dao nodded. This guy’s actually a Fortunate Child! Since the creation of heaven and earth, there seems to have been only one Fortunate Child discovered, and this is the second one. And my daughter happened to meet him. The sky-high fortune of a Fortunate Child is something even I, the Heavenly Dao, can’t control or suppress. You can imagine how extraordinary their fortune is. This Fortunate Child hasn’t awakened yet. Once he does, his fortune will truly be terrifying. My daughter probably doesn’t know this yet.
"I asked why you skipped work?" Tianmiao asked.
"Ah, cough cough, well, since you brought Jinglou back, I came to take a look, show some welcome. Jinglou, from now on, I’m your boss. Work well, high performance means great rewards." Heavenly Dao coughed twice pretendingly, giving his reason. In truth, he was scheming how to use the Fortunate Child’s luck to fool Jun Yan. Damn Jun Yan, we’re not done yet.
"Yes, Boss." Chen Jinglou responded earnestly. While he seemed innocent and naive in front of Tianmiao, he was very serious when working.
"No need to be so formal at home. You can call me Grandfather. Young man, work hard, I have high hopes for you. I have things to do, so I’ll head out first. Let Miao Miao show you around, and after that, come visit the Heavenly Dao Office. You can choose whether you want to stay in the employee dormitory or Heavenly Dao Palace, entirely up to you." Heavenly Dao smiled, patting Chen Jinglou’s shoulder warmly, speaking encouragingly.
"Thank you, Grandfather." Chen Jinglou also smiled.
Tianmiao looked at her dad suspiciously. She knew her own dad well. Acting so kind and gentle, something was off. What was he scheming? Treating Jinglou so well, letting him stay in Heavenly Dao Palace? Did he really see Jinglou as a son? But would dad be that nice? Something’s wrong, definitely wrong.
"What could I be scheming? Don’t overthink. I am the Heavenly Dao! Fair and impartial Heavenly Dao." Heavenly Dao seemed to have read Tianmiao’s mind and conveyed a message to her.
Tianmiao rolled her eyes in response. She didn’t believe a word her dad said.
After a few more words of encouragement to Chen Jinglou, Heavenly Dao left.
Tianmiao took Chen Jinglou on a tour around Heavenly Dao Palace, bringing out all her delicious treats for Chen Jinglou to taste, and finally gave him a storage ring that didn’t require spiritual power to activate; Chen Jinglou could store and retrieve things with just his thoughts. It contained all the goodies Tianmiao had prepared for him.
"Feels like a kindergarten kid going on a spring outing, bringing a bunch of snacks." Chen Jinglou felt warm inside and said with a smile.
"Jinglou is the most well-behaved kid." Tianmiao couldn’t help but laugh as well. "Let’s go, I’ll take you to visit the Heavenly Dao Office."
The Heavenly Dao Office felt to Chen Jinglou like a super big company operating rapidly and in an orderly fashion. Not only humans worked there, but also other races, which was very novel and fascinating to him.
After visiting the Heavenly Dao Office, Tianmiao led Chen Jinglou back to the original world, standing in the villa’s living room.
Chen Jinglou glanced at the clock in the living room and exclaimed, "Mother, did we just spend two minutes here?"
"Yes, when you become an advanced employee, you can choose the time points for world travel," Tianmiao explained. "I’ll take you on a world mission, next time you’ll have to handle it yourself."
"Mother, what mission did you receive in this world? Can you share it?" Chen Jinglou asked curiously.
