The myth begins with the Lotus Lantern

Chapter 194 The Seven Fairies

On the ground, where the Golden Bull Star Lord originally stood, two bull horns lay forlornly. After ascending to immortality, the Golden Bull Star Lord refined these bull horns, turning them into two magical artifacts, no longer part of his physical body. Therefore, these bull horns remained.

The bull's horns trembled, then flew up from the ground like streaks of lightning, landing in front of the bulls, one after the other, in front of the gold and the other after the silver.

"Since my body and soul have perished, it would be a waste for all my magical power to dissipate as well. So I will rely on these two horns in the hope of making up for it..."

These are the last words that Taurus Star Lord left in this world.

"Mother……"

Niu Yin was startled at first and subconsciously snuggled closer to the Weaver Girl. Niu Jin was much calmer. The Weaver Girl was also startled at first, but then she was relieved to see that the Queen Mother on the cloud platform did not stop her.

On the cloud platform, white clouds churned, intertwining with the rotation of the sun and moon. A ray of sunlight and a ray of moonlight fell upon the two horns, and immediately the two horns began to shine, their shapes and appearances transforming, becoming small and exquisite, like two ornaments. One turned into pure gold, and the other into pure silver, and then each flew up and was inlaid on the forehead of the golden and silver oxen.

"Thank you, Grandmother!" The Weaver Girl quickly pulled the two children to pay their respects.

"Though his body is dead and his soul is gone, his hatred is still hard to quell. These two horns are not even worth anything, so please accept them. This is what he owes you," said the Queen Mother.

"The Taurus Star Lord secretly descended to the mortal realm and harmed the bloodline of the Heavenly Family. He committed suicide as a warning to others!" Emperor Ziwei interrupted, his voice calm and indifferent. "The Seven Fairy Maidens of the Weaver Girl Star secretly descended to the mortal realm and violated the Heavenly Rules. They are hereby stripped of their star status and are no longer in charge of the Clouds and Clouds!"

“Ziwei, you…”

"This is within my authority. Your Majesty may decide how to punish this matter." The Queen Mother was interrupted by the Ziwei Emperor before she could finish speaking.

“The laws of Heaven each have their own duties. This was left by the Dao Ancestor. Even the Great Heavenly Venerable only has the function of coordination. These constellations are under my jurisdiction. Some time ago, I went on a long expedition to the North Sea, which troubled Your Majesty. Now that I have returned to Heaven, Your Majesty will no longer need to trouble yourself.” Emperor Ziwei said.

The purple hue receded like a tide, and in an instant, the Jade Pool was once again shrouded in the sun and moon.

Emperor Ziwei departed.

……

"Eldest brother, go and bring those five over as well." On the cloud platform, the Queen Mother was silent for a while before slowly speaking. After a pause, she instructed, "Tiannu, take the two children down first."

"Yes."

Tiannu and the eldest princess each received their respective decrees.

Tiannu bowed and led Niu Jin and Niu Yin away, holding them on the left and right.

The eldest princess rode away in a beam of light, while the five fairies and the Weaver Girl remained kneeling obediently, not daring to get up.

For a moment, the Jade Pool was completely silent.

It's not appropriate to criticize adults in front of children.

After taking Niu Jin and Niu Yin away, Tiannu wisely refrained from showing up again.

Before long, the fiery red light returned from the horizon.

The clouds descended, revealing the eldest princess and the Weaver Girl's other five sisters.

"Grandmother," the fairies called out, their voices filled with unease.

Still silent.

For a full three hours, the female immortals knelt there, initially trying to remain calm, but gradually becoming more and more panicked. They would look up from time to time towards the cloud platform, but could see nothing but a vast sea of ​​clouds...

"Now you know fear?" Finally, the voice came from the cloud platform.

"In the mortal realm, they're all mediocre cultivators, yet they cause just as much trouble as your mother. They've truly defied the heavens! And now, they've fallen into the hands of a mere mortal!"

With no outsiders around, the Queen Mother sternly rebuked the female immortals, who lowered their heads like a flock of quails. However, they felt a sense of peace in their hearts. Unresolved matters were the most tormenting, and the fact that their grandmother was angry meant that the matter would soon be resolved.

On the other side, the cowherd, now transformed into a cow, dared not make a sound and quietly curled up in a corner.

"What a fine ox!"

The Queen Mother sneered. On the cloud platform, the clouds churned as if venting her anger, and the Cowherd was instantly cast down to the mortal realm.

"You're a perfectly normal person, yet you listen to the ox. You've bullied my granddaughter for seven years. Since you like oxen so much, how can I not make you a cow for seventy years before you die?"

"Little Seven, your grandmother will decide for you: let this person's soul remain in the body of an ox, struggling in the mortal world, unable to speak or exert any strength, yet still able to perceive clearly. Seventy years later, you will personally end his life!"

The Queen Mother softened her voice slightly.

"Thank you, Grandmother," the Weaver Girl whispered.

Beside her, the Fifth Fairy secretly looked up and glanced at the Eldest Princess. The latter glared at the Fifth Fairy but still pleaded, "Mother, the Fifth and Seventh Fairies were just young and playful. Please calm down and don't hurt yourself."

"You're the one who has to be a good person!"

The Queen Mother shouted, and the eldest princess dared not speak again.

After a while, the clouds on the high platform dispersed. Facing her daughter and granddaughter, the Queen Mother was just a dignified and elegant woman. She sighed, looked at the Weaver Girl's appearance again, and ultimately did not say anything harsh.

Without the Queen Mother making any move, just a glance from her, the Weaver Girl felt her chronic illness disappear, her whole body refreshed, and her magical power flowed through her meridians, her aura rising inch by inch, and she quickly recovered to her primordial spirit state.

Then, her simple clothes fell away, revealing a magnificent purple feather robe that was quickly woven together. Her black hair cascaded down like a waterfall, then was styled into a bun, adorned with a beautiful gold hairpin, and she transformed back into the ethereal fairy who had never tasted worldly food.

"Is the lower realm so fun that you can be easily swayed by a few words from others, unable to distinguish between what's important and what's urgent, or do you really think I can control everything?"

“You all know what the situation is like now. Your grandfather is in seclusion, and I am temporarily in charge of the central government. Although this is the usual practice, it is not legitimate and we need to keep a low profile. But then this mess happens!”

"I put so much effort into getting you to occupy a star and control Quanbin. I racked my brains for your future, and now look what's happened, you've been kicked out!"

The seven female immortals lowered their heads and remained silent.

The Queen Mother was both angry and helpless, and then sighed.

"Very well, Seven Fairy Maidens, heed my decree," said the Queen Mother. "The Seven Fairy Maidens have neglected their duties and violated the Heavenly Laws. Therefore, I hereby order the stripping of the Weaver Girl Star's authority, the removal of her titles as mother, daughter, and granddaughter, and demote her to the position of maidservant, to be temporarily stationed at the Jade Pool!"

Once the decree was issued, it was immediately communicated to the Heavenly Court.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" The seven fairies breathed a sigh of relief and thanked the Queen Mother.

This punishment sounds extremely severe, but it actually has no real substance!

"Your deeds can't be kept secret, and you've already lost your jobs at the Weaving and Brocade workshop. But this punishment isn't enough, so I'll offset it with titles and stipends. I can't find another place for you right now, so just stay in Yaochi for the time being. I want to see what other trouble you can cause under my nose!"

The Queen Mother seemed to think that the matter had been handled too leniently, and after thinking for a moment, she added another sentence.

"Don't think this is the end of it. If there's any further punishment after your grandfather comes out of seclusion, I won't stop him!"
