Chapter 3 Xunfeng Rice, the Council of Three Gods
"Not bad, Xunfeng. From now on, you'll be in charge of the sanitation!"
Hu Tao smiled and put her hands on her hips.
"Huh?...I really want to escape. No, I mean, I really love this job."
As Xunfeng spoke, he helplessly accepted reality.
After hearing this, Hu Tao nodded in satisfaction and withdrew her malicious gaze.
Xunfeng: I woke up to find myself transformed into the number one cleaner of the Hall of Rebirth!
Just then, Zhongli slowly walked in.
"Master, may I speak to you in private?"
Noticing Zhongli's unusual seriousness, Hu Tao quickly followed him out of the Hall of Rebirth.
"Guest, just say what you need to say. I'll protect you."
"I would like to take a few days off to visit friends."
Walnut: Isn't this your daily routine? Do you really need to ask for leave?
"This hall master grants permission!"
After receiving approval, Zhongli thanked him and turned to leave.
The night is dark.
"Master, what do you mean? Although I'm a newcomer, there are so many guest rooms, why am I staying next to the toilet?!"
"Don't complain, this is my test for you."
After hearing this, Xunfeng dared not complain.
He could only drag his tired body, weary from a long day, to bed and fall into a deep sleep.
Hu Tao peeked into the room at the figure and couldn't help but chuckle.
This guy is so cute.
What Xunfeng clearly didn't know was that his soul had encountered Hu Tao after wandering around.
His simple words became Hu Tao's motivation to move forward and gave her a new direction in life.
The next morning.
Clang!
"It's thundering! Get up!"
"Master, stop fooling around. It's not raining outside, so why is there thunder? Let me sleep a little longer..."
Hu Tao put down the gong and drum she was holding and murmured, "Oh well, I was planning to treat the new employees to a meal, but now it seems... oh well!"
"Master, why aren't you ready yet? I'm already prepared to leave!"
Xunfeng finished tidying up in a flash, beaming with joy.
Long live the freeloaders!
Wanmintang.
Even though it was just dawn, the place was already bustling with activity; if you had arrived any later, it would have been packed.
As soon as Hu Tao and Xun Feng stepped into Wanmintang, Master Mao immediately recognized Hu Tao, whose clothes were different from those of ordinary people.
"Oh, it's Master Hu Tao! What would you like to order?" Chef Mao greeted him warmly.
"That's all good, that's all good, bring me one of all your signature dishes!"
After all the dishes were served.
Xun Feng stared at the table full of delicious food, his mouth watering. He pounced on the food like a hungry tiger, and before he could even taste it properly, the food was already gone.
If you didn't know better, you'd think this child hadn't eaten in thousands of years!
Xunfeng ate heartily, and it was only after a while that he noticed Hu Tao watching him eat.
"Master... there's so much food! You should eat it while it's hot!" Xun Feng, with his mouth full of food, could only speak slowly.
"No! Xunfeng, how long has it been since you last ate?"
Hu Tao looked at him with a pained expression.
"Ah... well, I don't know... anyway, before I came to the Hall of Rebirth, I felt like I slept for a long time and had several long dreams."
Xunfeng stopped eating and began to recall the events.
"Speaking of which, I remember nothing except my own name. I was brought to the Hall of Rebirth by Zhongli as soon as I woke up."
On the other side, there was a secret realm.
Beside a stone table sat three great deities.
They are Zhongli, Barbatos, and Balzebu.
"Now that the element of light has appeared, what are your thoughts?"
Indeed, it was Xun Feng's appearance that forced Zhong Li to summon the wind god Barbatos and the thunder god Balzeb for a secret meeting.
"If you ask me, we can arrive at a better answer by discussing things over drinks."
"The element of light... I wasn't even born when this element last disappeared, but it must have been very strong."
Barbatos conjured a bottle of wine from behind him, took two gulps, and said, "I think the best course of action now is to protect his existence."
Zhongli: "That's exactly what I was thinking."
Barzeb: "I look forward to the day he gets stronger."

Liyue, the Hall of Rebirth.
"Hey, you're full, time to get back to work?" Hu Tao said with a mischievous grin.
"Master, you're... treating us to a meal, but now you want us to work too!"
Before he could refuse, Hu Tao gave him a key to the coffin vault and told him to go in and wipe the dust off the coffins.
Left hand: rag; right hand: bucket; in front of him: thousands of coffins.
Even a robot couldn't finish this job!
Last time we were lucky, a celestial being came to help clean up, but this time there's no outside help!
"Sigh... I should have known better than to take advantage of this free meal. It's such a waste."
Whether it was psychological or not, with so many coffins in front of him, Xunfeng had a feeling that some of them were... were shaking!
Xunfeng rubbed his eyes, indicating that it was all just an illusion.
Just as Xun Feng was trying to comfort himself, a figure stopped behind him.
The next second, "slap!" A heavy slap landed on Xun Feng's shoulder.
"Ghost!!!"
The sudden slap startled Xun Feng, turning his face deathly pale.
"Who are you? What are you doing here? Does anyone still steal coffins these days?"
Feeling the lingering warmth of the other person's hand and hearing what they said, Xun Feng breathed a sigh of relief.
What the heck? You're just scaring yourself.
"Haha, I'm a new employee at the Rebirth Hall. The head of the hall sent me to wipe the dust off the coffins."
"I see. I thought people would steal things from the Hall of Rebirth. Hello, new colleague. My name is Wangchuan. I am the coffin warehouse manager, responsible for arranging coffins and updating their numbers."
"Ah, nice to meet you. I'm Xunfeng, and I'm in charge of... odd jobs."
