Five thousand years have passed since Zhong Shenxiu went into seclusion.
The Wildlands, Kunlun Mountain, East King Palace.
This place has become somewhat lively, with more Han-dressed palace maids.
These people were pitiful women picked up by Lord Qingyuan when The Queen Mother of the West went out, and after training, they were made palace maids to do various chores.
To the Lord Qingyuan, this was perfectly natural.
She was once a county lord; the entire empire was her family's.
Now as The Queen Mother of the West, heaven and earth are her husband's, allowing for free use, coupled with some aristocratic habits, it's inevitable to treat other lower people as servants, ordering them around.
And this also led to the legends about Kunlun and The Queen Mother of the West spreading across the Wildlands.
