Chapter 1333: Chapter 1337: A Stubborn Young Fool

"They can discern the predestined affinities in the mortal world; these so-called predestined affinities are the entanglements of emotions ordained by heaven. As for whether the two individuals can ultimately find peace and happiness, it still depends on their own fate. The Old Man of the Moon can bestow predestined affinities but lacks the ability to discern true feelings from false, let alone protect the love between two people..." the Weaver Star Fairy said.

Zhu Minglang touched his chin and pondered earnestly. It seemed that the inexplicable red threads from before were all blindly connected by the Old Man of the Moon.

The Old Man of the Moon is the type who, upon seeing a handsome man matched with a beautiful woman and deeming them suitable, would connect them with a red thread without considering whether the thread is as fragile as a spider’s silk or as strong as steel wire!

But what the Weaver Star cares more about is the outcome, whether the two people will have a good ending.

Take, for example, this pair of star-crossed lovers at this moment.

Missing each other like this would be the best ending; otherwise, they will face a life full of hardships, both sad and tragic, and live with lifelong regret.

"But, Master Sister, how can I know which emotions in this mortal world are true, and which affinities are karmic debts?" Zhu Minglang asked.

"I will give you names..."

"Ah?" Zhu Minglang scratched his head, feeling as though he had become a deity who deals with unblessed matters.

No wonder the Weaver Star took in a male disciple.

The Weaver Girl symbolizes beauty, but beneath that beauty lies harsh reality. Thus, let me, this dark disciple, deal with most of the damned karmic debts, and forcibly split up those so-called divine couples and legendary tales!

In the end, the one cursed by all will be me.

I am that malevolent deity, the evil god who bludgeons mandarin ducks.

There’s no true love in this world that I can’t trample upon!

However, upon further thought, it’s quite interesting...

As for the benefits, I’ll have to discuss more with Master Sister. After all, it’s such a dirty and tiring job, it might even tarnish my virtue.

"Let’s go back." The Weaver Star Fairy could be said to have completed her first celestial lecture, establishing Zhu Minglang’s authority and also bestowing upon him the Paired Immortal Bird.

"And this flowered hat..." Zhu Minglang originally intended to throw it directly beneath the bridge.

However, the hat was clearly made with care, adorned with beautiful embroidery, and the demure woman he met earlier had her eyes fixed on this hat, showing that it was probably woven by the woman as a token of commitment.

It would indeed be a pity to discard it.

By a stroke of luck, a man approached, decent-looking enough. As a deity inclined to mischief, Zhu Minglang conceived a plan; pretending to be in a hurry, he adopted the same manner of speaking and handed the flowered hat to the amenable man.

The agreeable man was very enthusiastic, complying with Zhu Minglang’s instructions and waited there.

The Weaver Star Fairy didn’t mind Zhu Minglang’s little maneuvers, and after leaving the stone bridge, she rode the clouds back to the Evening Cloud Palace with him.

At the Zither Palace, when the Weaver Star Fairy and Zhu Minglang parted ways, she reminded him: "The intertwining of fates often contains uncertainties. If two hearts are truer than gold and would rather endure the torture of fate than be apart, you shall exercise discretion. Furthermore, you shouldn’t excessively intervene in the mortal world with divine power or divine skills, or else you may incur divine retribution."

"If I encounter such men and women, I will report to Master Sister in time," Zhu Minglang said.

Zhu Minglang understood what the Weaver Star Fairy was saying.

Deities can only guide, not forcibly interfere.

Just like the pair of lovers just now, even if two deities step in to prevent their secret meeting and elopement, if their love is true, they will find all means to continue their relationship.

This slight obstruction is perhaps a playful test for both the man and the woman, isn’t it?

Deities also represent the heavens.

Zhu Minglang naturally understood the meaning behind Weaver Star’s words—he had to find the right balance, or else he would become a truly vile god, tearing apart great romances, scorned for centuries.

He returned to his residence.

In the long courtyard of his residence, there was a skylight that overlooked the Ten Thousand Mile Human City.

The skylight was truly a perfect place for daydreaming. If not for the need to seriously cultivate, looking down upon the world of men, seeing it laid out like a clear map of the rivers and mountains, was something he could never tire of.

Zhu Minglang only closed his eyes to rest for a moment, but then realized that a day and a night had already passed.

He looked up at the sky, his face showing incredulity.

Above the Cloud Sky Immortal Court, time passed even quicker!!

No wonder that with just a short period of devout cultivation, his Dragon Babies had received a tremendous transfusion of Spiritual Energy!!

With the already exceptionally abundant Spiritual Energy of Qin Yun Palace, influenced by the cycles of the sun, moon, and stars, it was dozens of times richer than that of the Southern Heavenly Palace. With the acceleration of time, cultivating here was indeed more than a hundredfold effective.

The amplification of Zhu Minglang’s inner Spirit Realm was almost reaching ten thousandfold. Combined with the effects of Qin Yun Palace, it’s as if a year of quiet cultivation here equated to Ten Thousand Year Coagulation... turning a sparrow into a Phoenix in the truest sense!!

In no time at all, all three Dragon Babies could reach the bottleneck of their Cultivation Base!

Zhu Minglang was overjoyed, he hadn’t expected that becoming a Direct Disciple came with such divine treatment!

Of course, the rapid passage of time here had its pros and cons. Others below the Cloud Sky Immortal Court had more time to search for fateful encounters, adventures, celestial treasures, Divine Roots... Maybe they would surpass those above in the heavens.

Therefore, he couldn’t stay in this Zither Palace all the time. He needed to establish a reasonable cultivation plan based on the situation.

Standing up, Zhu Minglang stretched lazily.

He casually glanced at the skylight and just happened to see the Magpie Stone Bridge.

To Zhu Minglang’s astonishment, that pleasing fellow from before was still standing on the Magpie Stone Bridge, holding the fancy hat and waiting!

"Is this guy a real dunce??" Zhu Minglang muttered helplessly.

The man who took over the hat stood there for a day and a night!

No sign of the escaper, nor the woman, and yet he didn’t realize that both had fled—why was he still foolishly waiting there?

"Sigh, forget it, let’s go down and give him a heads up. Talk about being a stubborn blockhead!" Zhu Minglang couldn’t help but laugh and cry at the situation; his little prank had unintentionally caused someone to wait in vain for a whole day and night.

It was clear from this guy’s build that he wasn’t someone who cultivated. An ordinary person waiting like this for a day and a night could end up in trouble.

...

After a simple disguise, Zhu Minglang turned into an exceptionally handsome young man and descended to the human world.

Walking onto the stone bridge, it was now bustling with people coming and going. The dunce could only afford to buy a pancake, nibbling on it pitifully before continuing to hold the hat and wait.

Just as Zhu Minglang was about to approach and persuade him to leave, a woman stepped up to the man before Zhu Minglang could, heading towards the simple-minded fellow.

"Why are you still here?" the woman asked.
