Lying under the willow tree, Mu Qingxiao narrowed her starry eyes. Could it be that she had encountered the plot of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl?
"Ding! A mysterious ox demon has appeared at Miao Ling Mountain. It wants the cowherd to marry a fairy as his wife. How can a mere mortal be worthy of a fairy from the heavens? Host, please obtain the favor of the Weaver Girl. Mission reward: Cultivation level increased by one."
Suddenly, the sound of the system notification rang out in her mind. Mu Qingxiao was slightly stunned. It really was the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl …
However, what made him feel strange was that the legendary water buffalo beside the cowherd was nearing the end of its lifespan, but the water buffalo in front of him, not to mention nearing the end of its lifespan, the life of a gold immortal could not be measured by time at all.
Furthermore, the water buffalo also said that it was an immortal from the heavens.
According to some legends, this water buffalo was the reincarnation of the Taurus Star in the sky. However, the Taurus Star was a heavenly official. How could it encourage a mortal to marry a fairy?
No matter how Mu Qingxiao thought about it, she felt that the latter could not possibly be an immortal in heaven. If it were an immortal in heaven, they would know that the rules of heaven were merciless. How would they dare to do such a thing?
However, no matter what kind of background this water buffalo had, since the system had already issued a mission, the love story of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl would come to an end here.
It was said that the cowherd's parents died early, and he was often abused by his brother and sister-in-law. He only had an old bull as his companion.
One day, the old bull suddenly suggested a plan for him to marry the weaver girl as his wife. On that day, the beautiful fairies indeed went to the Milky Way to bathe and play in the water.
At this moment, the cowherd hiding in the reeds suddenly ran out and took away the Weaver Girl's clothes. The panicked fairies hurriedly went ashore, put on their clothes, and flew away, leaving only the Weaver Girl.
Under the Cowherd's pleas, the Weaver Girl agreed to be his wife. The story was so melodramatic, but there was no way to refute it. The Cowherd really succeeded.
However, when the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother of the Heavenly Court found out about the marriage between the Weaver Girl and the Cowherd, they flew into a rage and ordered the gods to descend to the lower realm to capture the Weaver Girl …
In Mu Qingxiao's impression, no matter if it was the Third Holy Mother's mother, Yaoji, the Third Holy Mother herself, or her niece, as long as they were fairies in heaven, none of them would have a good ending if they married a mortal.
"How interesting."
After coming back to her senses, Mu Qingxiao lay under the willow tree, quietly listening to their conversation.
At this moment, knowing that Water Buffalo was a celestial being in the heavens and wanted to help him, the cowherd thought of his lonely life and immediately burst into tears.
"Great Immortal, you know my situation. Who would be willing to marry a poor person like me?
"You're a kind-hearted brat. You can create wealth with your hands. Hard work and bravery are gifts of love. Besides, who says no one wants to marry you?"
As he spoke, a bright glint flashed across Water Buffalo's eyes. He said, "When I was in the sky, I knew many fairies. They would often secretly descend to the mortal world to swim and play. They also admire life in the mortal world very much …"
Then, the old water buffalo crawled on the shore and instilled some pure thoughts of the fairies in the sky into the cowherd. It even admired the lives of mortals.
As he listened, the cowherd's eyes lit up, filled with yearning, "Great immortal, do immortals really like mortals? If I can marry a fairy, I'll be satisfied for the rest of my life. "
Hearing this, Water Buffalo grinned and said, "Maybe you can really marry a fairy. According to my calculations, the immortals on the ground have recently returned to the heavens to report information. The Jade Emperor is very busy. At this time, the fairies are very likely to secretly descend to the mortal world to play. Tomorrow night, go to the lake for a few laps. Maybe you can meet a fairy."
"Really?"
"If you don't believe me, go and try it tomorrow night. See if what I said is true."
The cowherd knew that Water Buffalo was an immortal and naturally trusted him very much. His heart was filled with anticipation. If he could marry a fairy as his wife, how happy would that be?
Next, Water Buffalo began to instigate the cowherd, telling him how to obtain the fairy's heart. In any case, it was all kinds of sweet words.
Mu Qingxiao roughly knew what happened next, so he retracted his gaze and lay under the willow tree, closing his eyes and sleeping.
Not long after, the cowherd and the old water buffalo passed by him. Looking at his luxurious appearance, the cowherd's eyes were filled with envy and jealousy. But when he thought that he could marry a fairy, the jealousy in his heart lessened a little.
As for Water Buffalo, his eyes were fixed on Mu Qingxiao. Why didn't he notice that there was someone by the river just now?
His bright eyes stared at Mu Qingxiao and observed him several times. When he didn't notice any strange aura, his tense heartstrings finally relaxed.
"Let's go."
Hearing the cowherd's shout, the old bull retracted his gaze and walked away. He must have been too focused on talking to the cowherd that he didn't notice this mortal.
After Water Buffalo and the cowherd left, Mu Qingxiao was still lying by the river.
However, Water Buffalo's vigilance was really strong. If he hadn't taken the Golden Elixir given to him by the Grand Supreme Elderly Lord and his body had been tempered and his aura was restrained to the extreme, he might have been seen through.
From this, it could be seen that although Water Buffalo was strong, he definitely couldn't compare to him in terms of physical strength.
In the blink of an eye, the Golden Crow set in the west and the Jade Rabbit rose in the east. Only then did Mu Qingxiao sit up and stretch. He raised his head to look at the river of stars in the sky and turned to walk into the resident's house.
It was said that the story of the cowherd and the Weaver Girl was a perfect love story. Now it seemed that if Water Buffalo hadn't interfered, the cowherd probably wouldn't have married any woman in the village, let alone a fairy.
Shaking his head slightly, he threw the complicated emotions to the back of his mind. After eating and drinking to his heart's content, Mu Qingxiao returned to the clean and tidy mud house. He sat cross-legged on the warm bed and closed his eyes to circulate his mental cultivation method.
As time passed, the night passed without any words.
The Golden Crow rose in the east and Zhao Xia filled the sky. Warm sunlight poured down and seeped into the mud house through the cracks in the window.
On the bed, Mu Qingxiao opened his starry eyes and a glint flashed through them. After breakfast, he went to the river and went to the same spot as yesterday. He lay down under the willow tree and closed his eyes to rest.
According to Water Buffalo, the Weaver Girl would descend to the mortal world tonight. Naturally, he wouldn't miss this great opportunity.
A light breeze blew and the willow swayed with the wind.
Lying under the willow tree, Mu Qingxiao quickly saw the cowherd from yesterday leaping over the wooden bridge with Water Buffalo and walking towards the upper reaches of the Qingshui River.
The river he was on was called the Qingshui River Bank. The upper reaches of the river was a lake. Because it was a bit far from the village and was surrounded by barren mountains, no villagers would go there.
Seeing the man and the buffalo walking upstream, Mu Qingxiao sat up and a smile appeared on Jun Yi's face.
Then, with a wave of his sleeve, a crack appeared in the void.
After tearing open the crack, Mu Qingxiao stepped into it. When the crack closed, the river bank was calm and tranquil, without a single ripple.
