Apprentice immortals care only about the result, not the process.
So those who pray to the gods and Buddhas and get their wishes granted... well, many of them feel like cursing.

Luo Rong thought that, at the very least, she could enjoy free food and lodging at the zoo for decades, thanks to her true form. But she never imagined she'd smack an animal keeper right on his "weak spot."
And the keeper she'd smacked "dead" was her future boss.
The life of a wage slave is bleak, and the road to paying off her debt is even worse.
Because of her checkered past, no one in the Celestial Realm believes Luo Rong's complaints, whether she voices them openly or in private:
How could Teng Jiu, the immortal official as pristine as a breeze and bright as moonlight, possibly be a violent brute in private!
With no other choice, Luo Rong begs for mercy. "I'm sorry, boss! I know I was wrong! Please stop chasing me and hitting me, waaaah, "
Teng Jiu: "What did you do wrong?"
Luo Rong: "I was wrong to claw at your weak spot."
Teng Jiu: "...You want to die!"

[Reading Notes]
- This is a "realistic" account of modern immortal-official work. The setting is fictional, so don't take it as historical fact.
- It's a short story, meant mainly for fun.
Theme: Don't worry about the long road ahead.
