The male supporting character was actually myself.

This is the kind of ability a fairy should have!

You can't say that everything depends on a piece of clothing, and without magic power, you're not even as good as a mortal.

Knowing that the mirror world was complete and logical, Jiang Chen finally breathed a sigh of relief.

A faint green magical power, under the Weaver Girl's patient guidance, finally took shape and floated onto her body. She closed her eyes to see the divination result—it was like an absurd and bizarre dream.

She had been hiding in the water waiting for her sisters to come to her rescue, but unexpectedly, a series of sonic attacks came from underwater, which made her body, which had lost its magic power, unbearable. She had no choice but to find a way to get ashore. A handsome young man who called himself a cowherd was arrogant and directly admitted to stealing her fairy clothes and used them to blackmail her into becoming his wife.

Forced by magical power with no way out and wanting to reclaim the immortal robe, he pretended to agree.

Who knew that the cowherd, who looked respectable, was actually a poor, lazy man who didn't even have a house and lived in a cowshed! After taking him back, he imprisoned him in the cowshed and tortured him day and night. With the old ox secretly instigating and giving him advice, he was eventually worn down and could only weave cloth day after day and year after year for him to exchange for money.

Through his hard work weaving cloth, the Cowherd built a new house, bought servants to serve him, and even indulged in nightly revelry with other women.

Forced into this situation, she not only gave birth to a son and a daughter but also exhausted herself. She was often mocked by the Cowherd, who said that if he hadn't kept her around for a long time, he would have thrown her, haggard and faded, into the deep mountains long ago.

When the Queen Mother of the West arrived with her heavenly soldiers and generals, her two children had grown to be four or five years old, charming and adorable, and hard to part with.

The Queen Mother was furious, but because of the heavenly rules that prevented her from interfering in the fates of mortals, she decided to take herself away.

Who would have thought that in order to take a shortcut to immortality and stay in Heaven, the Cowherd would kill the old ox who had been his loyal confidant and had been giving him advice, skin him and wear his hide, and even bring his two children to chase after him and threaten him.

The mighty Milky Way could not stop the Cowherd's ambition. He conspired with a magpie spirit in the mortal world who was eager to become an immortal but did not know how. He led many magpies to build a magpie bridge and spread rumors that the Heavenly Court was cold and the Queen Mother was ruthless in order to use him to stay in the Heavenly Court.

Ultimately, the Cowherd used the child to achieve instant wealth and power.

Every year, magpies use the so-called Magpie Bridge Festival to absorb the celestial energy of the heavens, attempting to take a shortcut to immortality...

"This is terrifying!" The Weaver Girl, recovering from the divination, couldn't help but tremble. "Jiang Chen, can you help me? The Cowherd and the Old Ox are so treacherous and despicable!"

Chapter Four: Seventh Princess, you don't want to be punished either, do you?

"I am willing to help the Seventh Princess resolve her troubles." Jiang Chen bowed and said in a deep voice, "The Seventh Princess can leave this place with me first. Once we find a way to steal the fairy robes from the old ox's guard, we can return to the Heavenly Palace."

His thinking was simple: rescue the fairy in distress first!

With the help of the elusive white cat working from the inside, it's only a matter of time before they retrieve the Fairy Robe.

However, after a moment of contemplation, the Weaver Girl firmly shook her head and said, "I have no magic power now and I have already been targeted. Your magic power is too weak to defeat that old ox, and you will probably be implicated and die."

Moreover, this matter is chilling to think about.

An old ox with supernatural powers even knew the secret spots where the fairies played and bathed; and my sisters, with their deep affection, would never waste my time, and the Queen Mother of the West, with her boundless love, would never let me fall to the mortal realm, but…”

She looked up at the sky where dusk was just beginning to fall, but didn't say what she was going to say next.

My divination skills are infallible. If the little tree spirit hadn't come to the rescue, according to the divination, the Queen Mother of the West's children would have been four or five years old by the time she arrived. Including the time the Cowherd spent tormenting and wearing down her temper, it would have taken at least six or seven years.

What exactly caused the Queen Mother and her heavenly soldiers to arrive so late?

The fact that a fairy maiden descended to earth and had her fairy clothes stolen, preventing her from returning to the heavenly palace, is a matter of great importance. Logically, she should have arrived in the mortal realm immediately to search for her whereabouts. Why has she been delayed? Could it be that someone with ulterior motives is deliberately delaying her?

The Weaver Girl calmed herself down and said in a gentle voice, "I'm afraid this matter is not so simple. It is very likely that there is an inside agent in Heaven. According to the Heavenly Laws, gods cannot interfere in the fate of mortals, but the Cowherd and that old ox have clearly crossed the line."

I must reclaim the fairy robes to prevent them from using them to commit evil and wreak havoc on the human world;

We must also investigate the whole story, find out which evil forces they colluded with, and how they dared to openly imprison and coerce even a fairy!

Looking at the delicate and slightly immature little tree spirit in front of her, the Weaver Girl smiled and said with a firm gaze, "Thank you for your help, young man. If I go with you to avoid disaster, I might be able to escape this calamity."

But if the other party is truly colluding with the Heavenly Court, I'm afraid you, a mere tree demon, will be powerless to resist me and will still be abducted.

Furthermore, deities have a duty to maintain peace and stability in the world. As the seventh princess of the Heavenly Palace, even without magical powers, I would never allow them to commit evil deeds. Since they are targeting me, I am already on guard and will not be easily manipulated. You should leave this place of trouble as soon as possible, lest you get involved and I end up harming you.”

This is what you call a god!

I really want to copy this and show it to those idiots in the scriptwriting team. True immortals cultivate themselves to attain enlightenment and protect the peace of the world. How could they possibly think about destroying the world just because of love and romance?

It's even less likely that she'd be obsessed with the mortal world every day, unable to resist a handsome man she meets, attracted by his lust, laziness, lack of education and ambition, crying and begging to descend to the mortal realm to bear his child, and then using all sorts of back channels to become an immortal without any regard for fairness in cultivation, only caring about her own pleasure.

Lacking any vision or perspective, and blindly pursuing personal gain through romantic love, how can one be worthy of becoming an immortal?

"The Seventh Princess has decided to take this risk, and I can only offer some small assistance." Jiang Chen thought for a moment and decided to find an excuse to have the Soul Weapon guard her side, lest the Cowherd succeed.

Unexpectedly, the Weaver Girl smiled and nodded, "What I meant when I asked you to help me was this—I have a simple protective spell, but I don't have the magic power to cast it, so I still need to borrow your magic power."

Jiang Chen: ╭?(￣▽￣)╭?

What a coincidence!

After finishing the spell, he took the opportunity to give the Weaver Girl a briefing on the situation in the mortal world and also gave her some advice on how to deal with the lazy and good-for-nothing Cowherd.

As night deepened, Jiang Chen, urged by the Weaver Girl, temporarily left the Jade Lotus Pond after agreeing on a secret signal to meet.

Mu Jiuxiu and the others were so sleepy that they lay down in the grass, chewing on a straw and dozing off.

When reading the story, I thought being a cowherd would be so great. With the help of an old ox, you could not only peek at a group of fairies bathing, but also take a piece of clothing and keep the prettiest one as your wife. You could then weave cloth to sell, build houses, buy land, and have children, living a happy life.

In the end, there's no need for cultivation at all. Just take your child and go there to play the victim and pretend to be a devoted lover, and you can stay in the Heavenly Court, become the Cowherd Star Lord, and attain immortality!

But after he actually traveled through time, he realized how incredibly boring and inconvenient ancient times were, with no cell phones, Wi-Fi, games, TVs, or even toilet paper.

Moreover, in the outline I entered, according to the original story, the cowherd was bullied and abused by his brother and sister-in-law and was eventually driven out of his home, leaving him with nothing but an old cow.

Although the previous part about being abused has been skipped, he still hasn't been sleeping at all and has to squeeze into the cowshed with the old cow!

He had no concept of the word "cowshed" before, but after transmigrating, he realized how rudimentary and disgusting it was.

There are railings on three sides and only one wall. The top is covered with straw mats, which can keep out some rain and snow. There are piles of dry grass, which are barely enough to sleep on, but it smells like cow dung and flies and mosquitoes are flying everywhere. Living in a cowshed is not as good as living in a cave in the wild!

It's not even as good as sleeping under a small blanket under a bridge.

In a daze, Mu Jiuxiu decided that since he lacked experience and thought things through the first time, he must find himself a good family background next time he writes a story, so that he can't suffer like this again!

After bringing the Weaver Girl back, we need to get her weaving and earning money to improve our lives. Otherwise, she won't even be able to afford three proper meals a day. How can she be expected to be treated like a protagonist in such a miserable life?

Even the poor scholar in Liaozhai is better off; no matter how poor he is, he at least has a decent house to live in, and if he meets a fox spirit or female ghost, he can immediately rise to prominence...

"Cowherd! Cowherd, wake up!" The old ox, who was dozing off nearby, looked up and saw that it was getting dark. He gently woke him up and instructed him, "I have put away your fairy clothes for you. Without the fairy clothes, the Weaver Girl cannot return to the Heavenly Palace. Right now, she is naked in the water and must be tired and sleepy. After losing her magic power, she is no different from an ordinary woman in the mortal world. Just do as I tell you and you can take her home as your wife."

Mu Jiuxiu stretched and got up; he was sore all over after lying in the field for most of the day.

Sure enough, the countryside that people in big cities envy every day isn't all that great. Every day, when the cowherd comes out to herd cattle, he can only lie in the grass, which hurts all over his body.

He decided to stop herding cattle starting tomorrow; it was incredibly boring to just watch the sky and pull weeds.

"Remember this: I cannot reveal my identity to the Weaver Girl, and you must never reveal my secrets, or you will surely die!" A venomous glint flashed in the old ox's eyes. He was clearly furious about his current predicament but unable to turn things around immediately. He patiently instructed, "I will help you secretly. Just remember to be domineering and arrogant. She's just a delicate little girl without any magic power and has no ability to resist. As long as you subdue her from the start, you will have absolute control!"

Mu Jiuxiu brushed the grass stuck to his clothes and chuckled, "Don't worry, how could a grown man like me not be able to handle her? There's no fairy with more delicate magic than an ordinary girl in the mortal world. One slap could kill her. If she doesn't obey, I'll beat her up first and then take care of things. What can she do against that?"

The old ox nodded with satisfaction.

Given the Weaver Girl's fierce nature, she certainly wouldn't give in easily. Just thinking about how she would be tortured and ravaged made me feel incredibly happy!

Ha, even the Seventh Princess of Heaven has met her end?

A tiger fallen into the plains is bullied by dogs; a phoenix fallen from its pedestal is no better than a chicken.

Even if you are the high and mighty Seventh Princess, so what? Heavenly laws clearly forbid gods from interfering in the fates of mortals. You have fallen to the mortal realm, so you must abide by these rules. As for me, I will definitely instigate the Cowherd to "treat you well"!

What a humiliation it is for a princess, who was once high above and untouched by worldly affairs, to be dragged down to the mortal realm, forced to become the wife of a dirty, lazy man, and even have to bear his children!

It ruined her lifelong reputation, burdened the Queen Mother with the infamy of breaking up marriages, and caused widespread criticism and insults against the gods for being heartless. Everyone hoped to get a celestial wife like the Cowherd, completely shattering the image of the gods as aloof and turning the power of faith around. Even the Heavenly Court was powerless to resist it.

At that time, there will be no hindrance to luring fairies and celestial children to descend to earth and marry mortals. When the second and third generations of immortals run rampant, that will be the day the grand plan of chaos succeeds!

The man and the ox walked towards the Jade Lotus Pond with great anticipation.

When Mu Jiuxiu transmigrated, it was just as the old ox was speaking for the first time, telling him the secret of the fairies' bathing and teaching him how to steal the fairy robes. With the help of the old ox's magic, the cowherd stole the red fairy robes back without disturbing any of the fairies.

But after all, it was seven fairies playing in the water together, so even if the old ox was arrogant, he didn't dare to offend them all, for fear that the fairies in their fairy clothes would detect his presence. After succeeding, he would hide far away to ensure that he acted cautiously and did not cause any trouble.

At this point, judging by the time, the other fairies must have already left. The Weaver Girl, having lost her magic and having no clothes to cover herself, could only hide in the water and not come out. Exhausted, hungry, and vulnerable, she was the easiest target for the Cowherd.

The distance was quite far, and it was already late at night. Even with the help of the old ox's magic, Mu Jiuxiu was exhausted from walking.

He finally arrived at the Jade Lotus Pond, but despite his efforts to look around, he could not see any figure in the water.

"Strange, she's been soaking for half a day and still hasn't had enough, so she's hiding in the water?" Mu Jiuxiu remembered clearly that this part of the outline he wrote was very simple: he came over in the middle of the night and directly encountered the Weaver Girl, who then used her fairy clothes to blackmail him and left with him.

Why can't we see anyone when we get there?

"Are you looking for me?" The Weaver Girl, her long hair dried by the little tree spirit's magic, emerged from behind the bushes, her head adorned with gorgeous gold and jade hairpins. Her beautiful face was cold. "You audacious scoundrel, how dare you steal a fairy's celestial robe and violate the heavenly laws? Aren't you afraid of being struck by lightning?"

Mu Jiuxiu was startled. Upon closer inspection, he was surprised to see that she was fully dressed and showed no signs of distress. He was taken aback and asked, "You...you didn't have any magic or clothes, did you?"

"Heh, then you've probably been fooled by the mastermind behind the theft of the fairy's celestial robes." The Weaver Girl sneered. "I am the seventh princess of the Heavenly Palace, a fairy who weaves clouds and mist."

Even if she couldn't fly back to the Heavenly Palace without the celestial robes, she wasn't a helpless mortal woman in distress. Do you really think celestial beings who have lived for tens of thousands of years are all idiots?

The old ox dared not reveal itself, and naturally could not speak in front of the Weaver Girl. It could only nudge the Cowherd's hand with its horns, signaling him not to be frightened by the Weaver Girl.

She knew the inside story all too well: the fairy who descended to earth was bound by heavenly laws, and could not use any of her magic powers, but could only rely on her fairy clothes.

At this moment, the Weaver Girl's fairy clothes were in her hands. She was probably lucky enough to pick up a few pieces of clothing from mortal women from somewhere, and she was just pretending to scare the Cowherd for being naive.

However, this cowherd was not the same cowherd who had depended on him for more than ten years, and they did not have the original tacit understanding at all.

Mu Jiuxiu misunderstood.

He was a time traveler, with a broader knowledge base and far more experience than the original gigolo. Putting himself in that shoes, Mu Jiuxiu didn't believe that a wealthy heiress who had lived at the top since childhood would lose even the most basic intelligence and skills if she were reduced to the common people.

Information found online suggests that the children of chaebols, who grow up in a cutthroat environment and are exposed to all sorts of intrigue, have no childhood. They are all shrewd and intelligent, and anyone who is not smart enough will be kicked out.

But he was facing the Queen Mother's most beloved seventh princess, the Weaver Girl. Having lost her fairy robes and magic power, it was highly likely that she had brought some kind of magical artifact with her before descending to the mortal realm.

Thinking of this, Mu Jiuxiu subconsciously glanced at the hairpins, earrings, and other ornaments used by fairies that looked very valuable. Don't forget that in the story, the Queen Mother of the West could draw a Milky Way by pulling out her golden hairpin.

Even if the Weaver Girl didn't have such powerful magical artifacts, the gold hairpins, phoenix hairpins, and other jewelry, earrings, necklaces, and even the ornate bracelets on her wrists might still contain some magical power for emergencies.

Otherwise, how could she conjure up clothes that were neatly dressed and showed no fear at all?

I must proceed with caution, otherwise what if I make a mistake and get hurt because I'm just a mortal with no support? I'm here to be the protagonist and enjoy life, not to go looking for trouble.

Even if we really have to force it, we have to make sure that the old ox can beat the Weaver Girl!

The old ox impatiently butted his arm with its horns, and Mu Jiuxiu thought it was scared too.

"Losing your fairy robes is a violation of heavenly law!" He changed his approach and threatened, "Seventh Princess, you don't want to be punished, do you?"

Why don't you obediently come back with me and become a divine couple, enjoying the mortal life you've never seen in the Heavenly Palace? I imagine life in the Heavenly Palace must be quite boring for you; otherwise, why would all the fairies want to come down to the mortal realm to live a carefree and joyful life?

When Mu Jiuxiu saw that the other party's expression changed when the celestial robes and heavenly laws were mentioned, he continued to guide the conversation: "If you think about it carefully, the theft of the celestial robes is not your fault. Why don't you take this opportunity to stay in the mortal world?"

Even if it's discovered in the future, you can still pin the blame on me.
