1845 Becoming A Servant 2 (2/2)

The rest of the people in green and blue robes kneeled as well. They looked at each other in bewilderment but decided to follow the gesture of the men in white. She was a princess!

The social ladder in heaven was no different from Earth. Royalty was at the top of the pyramid. Princess Ya was not interested in the men on the floor. She turned and gave Gu Xijiu a sharp look. ”Why didn't you bow before me?”

The injured lady in blue was the princess' servant. Her master's appearance gave her a boost. She stood glowering at Gu Xijiu and demanded. ”Kneel!”

Gu Xijiu would not kneel. She was not a member of heaven. Why should she have to kneel? Gu Xijiu answered coldly, ”I find no reason why I should kneel or bow before you.”

”Princess, she is the Lord of the Starry Crescent Land. This is the first time for her to be here, so she is unaware of the customs. I implore you to show mercy, Princess Ya. Please excuse her for her misbehavior.” The man in white started to explain on her behalf.

Princess Ya gave her a scornful look and smiled sarcastically. ”I do not want to bother myself arguing with the likes of her. Ming Lang, tell her about the customs here, so she knows how to behave.”

Hesitantly, Ming Lang agreed. He braced himself and proceeded to share with her more of the general knowledge about this place.

From his explanations, Gu Xijiu could finally get a grasp of the general structure of heaven.

In the Celestial Kingdom, there was a king, known as the Emperor Immortal. The customs were more or less the same as the ones in the mortal world. The royalty had the most power. In the Celestial Kingdom, almost every other celestial being, regardless of their ranks, was required to kneel and bow before royalty.

There were another two major groups- the native group and the ascendant group. The native group consisted of the immortals that were born and nurtured in the Celestial Kingdom.
