Between Heaven's Desires and Earth's Trials Chapter 5

No matter how ferocious a person who poses no threat looks, he is just bluffing, and Aurora doesn't take it seriously.

Seeing her answering honestly that she had finished washing, Cuizhi pursed her lips, feeling very bored. She wiped the water off her hands and walked out. After giving her a look, she strode forward.

The servants carried buckets to distribute food in the patio behind the kitchen. The steps were full of people, and some who arrived late could only eat while standing with their bowls in their arms.

The sun came out today, and the housekeepers, who originally had a table and chairs in the house to sit and eat, asked the little maid to carry a small table and stools and put them in the middle of the patio so that they could eat in the sun.

Aurora saw Cuizhi getting close to a plump middle-aged woman, calling her aunt, handing her bowl and chopsticks, and being very intimate.

Xiantong explained to Aurora that this was Mama Fan, who was in charge of the kitchen in the inner courtyard of the Prince's Mansion, Cuizhi's aunt, and the person who "picked up" Aurora.

Aurora quietly pretended to concentrate on eating this bowl of ordinary human meal without any spirit, keeping a distance of several steps and listening to Mother Fan chatting with others.

"Your daughter-in-law is a lucky one. She should be pregnant with the third baby by now, right? But mine hasn't had any news even after a year of marriage. It makes me so worried." Mother Fan sighed and couldn't even enjoy her meal.

Someone beside him said, "The folk remedy I gave you last time didn't work? Why don't you find a doctor to take a look?"

"I have tried everything and have seen a doctor. My son and daughter-in-law are both healthy. But I still have a flat belly."

Cuizhi said, "Don't worry, Auntie. My brother and sister-in-law are both blessed. Maybe there will be good news soon."

Mother Fan responded carelessly, not wanting to hear a girl interjecting into such matters, and turned to the mother who was not much older than her and said, "Forget it, I'll go and beg the Goddess of Fertility tonight."

The Goddess of Childbirth? What a coincidence, isn't it?

The Goddess of Childbirth that Fan's mother wanted to pray to was a descendant of the God of Lust. In addition, the gods in charge of marriage, dreams, and gender were all gods under her jurisdiction and were influenced by her power.

The matter that had worried Mrs. Fan so much could be solved with just one sentence from Aurora.

The opportunity has come to him. If he can make good use of it, Aurora will be able to get out of the predicament sooner.

I have found a way, but I can't rush. The situation is not right now. If Aurora, a 28-year-old orphan, gets involved in these things rashly, she will be ignored like Cuizhi. So Aurora just listened to it, kept it in mind, and waited for the opportunity to turn things around with this incident.

The food of the human world was devoid of spiritual energy and could only satisfy one’s appetite. The stewed cabbage hearts and fat meat and bamboo shoot soup for the servants were mixed with old rice and yellow millet and put in a bowl. The others ate with a snoring sound, but Aurora had a hard time swallowing the food, but he managed to finish it because his stomach was empty.

The content is not yet finished, continue reading on the next page. After lunch, she had to go back to the utility room to continue washing clothes. There were many people in the palace, so she had to wash the clothes for the steward and the maids.

When no one was around, she asked the fairy boy about Fan's mother. The fairy boy held part of the fate book given by the God of Life, which explained all the people and events related to her in the world.

"Mother Fan has two daughters and one son. The eldest daughter married a personal guard in the mansion. The second son helps with purchasing affairs and has married but has no children. The third daughter works in the teahouse in the front yard."

No wonder Mother Fan was particularly worried about her daughter-in-law's childlessness. She only had this one son and she had both eyes on him, so she was extremely worried.

Aurora planned to solve this matter for Mama Fan, and asked Mama Fan to send her to a job that would allow her to get close to Asher Tuoba. She was doing laundry for servants in the backyard, and if she didn't leave, she would never see the master of the Prince's Mansion even if she worked until she was old.

The first day in the human world was spent in exhaustion. The servants who did the rough work saw what they were busy with. People like Aurora, who worked hard during the day, could go back to their rooms early to rest when it got dark, and had to get up and work when it was light at the end of the Yin hour.

In winter, the nights are long and the days are short, so servants can get up half an hour later. Although food is restricted, the palace is quite generous to servants in terms of working hours.

The rest room was a large dormitory where many people slept together. There were two buckets of hot water for washing, but everything was very simple.

Perhaps because of Cuizhi's attitude, Aurora was not allowed to get close to the other maids. She was originally a visitor from outer space, happy and free. And because she was a prostitute, there was not enough space on the bed, so Aurora slept on the makeshift floor bed.

The majestic God of the Ninth Heaven was reduced to dust in one day. Aurora was clear and knew that worrying would only add to the troubles, so he just smiled to find joy in the midst of suffering.

No matter how thick the quilt is, it will feel cold when it touches the ground. The quilt has not been warm for a long time. The bird that flew into the room in the dark came in from Aurora's feet and transformed into a white cat, pressing its body against Aurora to keep her warm.

It finally warmed up, Aurora felt drowsy, closed his eyes, and thought about the things in the Ninth Heaven.

After she left, the four offending gods were to receive a second-level divine punishment, which was a sixty-nine thunder tribulation, the same as the tribulation of cultivation. The gods who failed to withstand the thunder tribulation, in addition to the pain of cramps and broken bones from the thunder tribulation, would also suffer a loss of cultivation and a lowering of their god rank.

The Emperor of Heaven sentenced them to suffer not only thunder tribulation but also imprisonment in Heaven's prison until she had completed the tribulation.

Therefore, after they have endured the sixty-nine thunder tribulations, they still have to continue to suffer in the Heavenly Prison. There is a soul-forbidden spell in the Heavenly Prison, and all spiritual energy is gone. There, their divine powers are sealed, and they are no different from mortals.

In comparison, Aurora's situation is much better.
