Chapter 1886
The Cowherd 4
The expressions of the princesses did not escape the notice of the Queen Mother of the West, and in the end, the Queen Mother of the West learned that the Seventh Princess had descended to the mortal world to find her lover.
The Queen Mother was furious; she truly felt she had raised a bunch of foolish daughters.
Even if you ask where Xiao Qi is, you should wait until Niu Jin Niu leaves before you do.
Even if she were to say in front of outsiders that Xiao Qi longed for the mortal realm, she, as his mother, couldn't show favoritism and secretly bring him back to Heaven.
The Queen Mother of the West had no choice but to send heavenly soldiers and generals to capture the Seventh Princess.
Niu Jinniu had no idea that his actions would change the fate of Dong Yong and the Seventh Princess.
Niu Jinniu happily led the Weaver Girl back to the Star Palace.
Although the Weaver Girl was also worried about the Seventh Princess, she was even happier to have the position of Star Official.
Although the eight sisters held the title of princess, they did not hold any proper celestial positions and were actually considered low-ranking immortals in the Heavenly Court, looked down upon by many powerful beings.
Especially the gods on the Investiture of the Gods list, who didn't take them seriously at all.
Otherwise, they wouldn't have joined the other lesser fairies in serving wine and tea to the greater immortals at the Peach Banquet.
Now that she has a proper celestial position, she will be able to have a seat at the Peach Banquet in the future.
She might even have to have her sisters pour her drinks!
Niu Jinniu: "Actually, I had my eye on someone in the mortal realm. I originally intended to make him the Cowherd Star Lord so that he could work with you. However, I was tricked by someone and remained in a daze until I returned to the Heavenly Court and regained my memory. As a result, I didn't have the chance to bring that person to the Heavenly Court."
The Weaver Girl asked curiously, "Cowherd Star Lord? To be chosen by you, you must be an exceptional mortal, right?"
Niu Jinniu: "Of course, he's already a scholar at such a young age..."
Niu Jinniu introduced the Cowherd to the Weaver Girl, and the Weaver Girl was moved.
You should know that she is one of the Seven Fairy Maidens, and they share the same hobbies.
As for the Seventh Fairy Maiden being punished for her desire to enter the mortal world, the Weaver Girl said it was because the Seventh Fairy Maiden was unlucky.
Dong Yong was just an ordinary person, while Niulang was a candidate for the position of the Cowherd Star Lord.
The Heavenly Laws forbid immortals and mortals from falling in love, but immortals can still marry each other.
The Weaver Girl made up her mind.
Meanwhile, the Queen Mother sent heavenly soldiers to capture the seven fairy maidens and bring them back to heaven.
Because the heavenly soldiers were mobilized, all the immortals knew about the Seventh Fairy Maiden's desire to marry a mortal.
Everyone looked at Erlang Shen.
This person's own mother also descended to the mortal realm, married and had children, and was imprisoned under Peach Mountain for many years.
Although he was eventually saved by Erlang Shen, his immortal body collapsed, and he was forced to enter the cycle of reincarnation.
Now another female immortal who longs for the mortal world has appeared. What will she do?
Erlang Shen turned and left the Heavenly Court.
He doesn't want to get involved in this kind of thing.
The Queen Mother thought that Yang Jian would plead for the Seventh Fairy because her fate was the same as his mother's, but to her surprise, Yang Jian didn't care about the matter at all.
The Queen Mother gritted her teeth. Without any help, how could she protect Xiao Qi?
Yang Jian: How you protect your daughter is your own business, it has nothing to do with me. Don't think I don't know that when my uncle wanted to protect my mother, it was you who made things worse.
The Queen Mother of the West had no choice but to treat the Seven Fairies as leniently as in the original story.
Given the case of Princess Yaoji, the Queen Mother of the West had no choice but to imprison the Seven Fairy Maidens.
The seven fairies, however, refused.
One day in heaven is equivalent to one year on earth.
If she were imprisoned for a year or two, Dong Yong's bones would turn to ash.
The Seventh Fairy Maiden was unwilling to be separated from Dong Yong, saying that she could give up being a fairy and only wanted to spend her life with Dong Yong.
The other princesses were deeply moved and pleaded for the Seventh Fairy.
The Queen Mother of the West then removed the fairy bones from the Seventh Fairy, turning her into a mortal and allowing her to spend her life with Dong Yong.
The other princesses, unable to bear seeing their younger sister suffer, often slipped down to the mortal realm to help the Seventh Fairy and Dong Yong.
The Queen Mother of the West turned a blind eye. The Weaver Girl was among them; each time she came to help the Seven Fairies, she would secretly go to the neighboring county to watch Liu Qiu.
The more she looked at it, the more she liked it, and the Weaver Girl praised Taurus for his good taste.
"What? You also want to marry a mortal?" the Seventh Fairy asked in surprise.
"Yes." The Weaver Girl nodded shyly. "Liu Langjun is no less than my brother-in-law. I like him very much."
The Seventh Fairy asked, "Are you ready to become a mortal?"
The seven fairies worried that the Weaver Girl would regret it.
Weaver Girl: "Liu Langjun is no ordinary person. Niu Jinniu wants him to become the Cowherd Star Lord."
The seven fairies stared wide-eyed. "Is this even possible?"
The seven fairies couldn't help but be jealous of the Weaver Girl.
The Weaver Girl asked the Seven Fairy Maidens and Dong Yong for help, asking them to propose marriage on her behalf.
The seven fairies agreed, but she still wanted one of her sisters to stay in the mortal world to keep her company.
Dong Yong and Liu Tong were old acquaintances. Liu Tong had lent Dong Yong money to help with the funeral arrangements for Dong the scholar.
After marrying the Seventh Fairy, the Seventh Fairy used her magic to help Dong Yong make money.
The Dong family is now a well-known wealthy family, and Dong Yong has even passed the imperial examination and become a Juren (a successful candidate in the provincial-level imperial examinations), making them one of the top families in the area.
Not long after Liu Dong went to the neighboring county to become the magistrate, Dong Yong came to return the money.
After that, the two occasionally kept in touch.
This time, with Dong Yong visiting, Liu Dong naturally had to treat him well.
Dong Yong: "Brother Liu, I've come to propose marriage to you. My sister-in-law is exceptionally beautiful, dignified, and virtuous..."
Dong Yong rattled off a long list of the Weaver Girl's virtues, all of which reflected his impression of his own wife. He believed his wife was the best, and naturally, his wife's sister was the best as well.
Moreover, they are all fairies!
It is Liu Dong's good fortune to be chosen by a fairy.
He didn't think Liu Dong would refuse.
But Liu Dong still refused.
Dong Yong: "Brother Liu, please reconsider. My wife's younger sister's identity is quite extraordinary."
Liu Dong smiled: "Unusual? Could it be that Brother Dong's wife's younger sister is a princess?"
"Of course—no," Dong Yong quickly corrected himself.
Although the Weaver Girl is a princess, she is a princess of the Heavenly Court.
Liu Dong has not yet married the Weaver Girl, so he cannot yet know the Weaver Girl's divine identity.
Liu Dong smiled and saw Dong Yong off. Dong Yong returned home disappointed and told the Seven Fairies and the Weaver Girl the result.
The Seven Fairies: "Could it be that he really wants to marry a princess?"
Dong Yong: "Brother Liu is young and promising, it's normal for him to want to marry a daughter from a high-class family?"
This is a normal thought for many men.
Weaver Girl: "How about I tell him my true identity?"
Seven Fairy Maidens: "Isn't this inappropriate?"
Weaver Girl: "What's wrong with that? He'll find out sooner or later anyway!"
So, the Weaver Girl went to visit in person.
The Weaver Girl thought that with her looks, Liu Dong would definitely fall in love with her at first sight.
You should know that every time she and her sisters descended to earth to see the Seven Fairies, the men in the vicinity would look at them with infatuated eyes.
This shows just how attractive they are to men.
Liu Dong will definitely be captivated by her appearance.
Liu Dong will definitely agree to marry her.
Result: "Please respect yourself, young lady. I have no intention of getting married!" (End of Chapter)
