Strange Tales of the Celestial Official

Nunu'er escaped the man-eating Wilds City after surviving death time and again, only to enter the Great Qi.

But then the Heavenly Official of Zhongluo Prefecture fell, and the Heavenly Borers took advantage of the chaos. The earth split and the heavens collapsed.

A sword came from the west, slaying the leader of the Heavenly Borers. On the city wall, it left behind a twelve-character decree: “Snow falls thick, sword energy sweeps far. Slay evil spirits alone; ask not their origins.”

Nunu'er felt as though those words had been meant specifically for her.

As the “god” of Guxiang Province, a figure of unsurpassed status in the Great Qi dynasty, second only to The Outcast, the little Prince Zhao never expected to become entangled with that “little prostitute.”

She kept provoking him, and he kept breaking his taboos for her.

He even let the aura of a king, his own, mark her.

When his advisers warned him, the little Prince Zhao scoffed: “If someone as base as her is a seed of a Heavenly Official, then what does that make me?”

That night, a pillar of light shot into the sky.

The new Heavenly Official of Zhongluo Prefecture had passed the Heart-Questioning Stone's test.

Nunu'er had no grand, world-shaking ambitions like the wielder of the flying sword. After receiving the seal and becoming a Heavenly Official, all she wanted was to choose her own Spear-Bearing Attendant.

She longed to see the most honored person in the Great Qi dynasty kneel before her, bow his head in submission, and speak the four prophetic lines that sealed their bond as master and attendant:

“I take up the spear, and serve at your side. I heed your every command, without regret in life or death.”

What a beautiful sight that would be~=^^=
