Chapter 618: Chapter 588 Not Looking So Good

Then, they each picked a team of the weakest elders and sickest to form three groups and head to three other mountains.

And the absolute main force stayed here.

"Brother Zhou, can we talk about the story of the Cowherd and Weaver now?" Sims asked.

The others also looked over with curiosity, and Zhou Yun nodded, saying, "Of course, no problem."

Zhou Yun thought for a moment, then said, "The story of the Cowherd and Weaver is actually quite simple. It’s about how the Golden Child in the Heavenly Court flirted with the Jade Emperor’s niece. You don’t need to know who the Jade Emperor is, just think of him as an official."

Zhou Yun found that these people didn’t even know of the Jade Emperor, but he was too lazy to explain further.

But the crowd was not pleased, and Fire Spirit said, "Brother Zhou, since you’ve started, could you please explain in more detail."

The insinuation was they didn’t want Zhou Yun to keep secrets.

Zhou Yun had no choice but to inform Fire Spirit and the people of the myriad worlds about the Jade Emperor, then about the identity of the Golden Child and his niece, the Weaver.

When the crowd finished listening, they all blew their beards and glared, shouting that the Jade Emperor was not the supreme ruler of the myriad worlds, their gods were...

The scene immediately descended into chaos.

Zhou Yun yelled in anger, "Are you motherfuckers listening to the story or not? I’m telling you a story, not arguing over who’s the boss!

When you have enough strength, you’ll naturally find out who the boss is, so why argue here?"

The crowd thought about it and realized he was right, so they all shut up and gestured for Zhou Yun to continue.

Zhou Yun continued, "After learning about it, the Jade Emperor was furious and wanted to kill the Golden Child.

However, Lord Lao Zi of the Great Monad pleaded... Lord Lao Zi is one of the Three Pure Saints, with tremendous influence."

"What are the Three Pure Saints?"

"Three Pure, are they three people?"

"Does Lord Lao Zi carry any weight in the eyes of your so-called supreme ruler of the myriad worlds? If the ruler you’re talking about isn’t much, then our..."

As Zhou Yun heard these questions, his head buzzed with irritation, and he roared, "Shut up! Listen to what I’m telling you! I’ll explain what’s useful, and I’ll briefly introduce what’s not.

If you think I’m keeping secrets, go ask someone else!

See if what I’m saying checks out!"

Seeing that Zhou Yun was angry, everyone immediately shut up and listened to the story obediently.

Zhou Yun rubbed his temples and continued, "Out of respect for Lord Lao Zi, the Jade Emperor spared the Golden Child but banished him to the Lower Realm, where he became a cowherd.

He was an orphan, living with his brother and sister-in-law."

Since he was young, he suffered constant bullying from his sister-in-law, which was indescribably bitter.

Lord Lao Zi again pleaded with the Jade Emperor to let Venus descend to the Lower Realm to help the Cowherd.

The Jade Emperor agreed, and Venus descended, transforming into a yellow ox, showing the Cowherd how to farm, how to live, and how to earn money.

Unfortunately, the sister-in-law harbored evil intentions and wanted to poison the Cowherd.

To protect his younger brother, the older brother split the household, and the Cowherd, following the guidance of the yellow ox, took only the ox, leaving everything else behind.

Leaving his brother’s home, the Cowherd found the bathing place of the Seven Fairy Maidens under the guidance of the yellow ox, and he hid the Weaver’s clothes."

A green, bug-like creature shouted, "Seven women bathing and he only took one piece of clothing?"

The Stone Giant said, "Taking one piece is bad enough, but did he just take the clothes? Didn’t he peek at anything? Can we focus on the important part here?"

"Focus on your grandpa! Listen to the story!" Zhou Yun cursed outright.

The two fell silent.

Zhou Yun continued, "Without her clothes, the Weaver couldn’t return to the Heavenly Realm. Once the others had left, the Cowherd presented the clothing and recognized the Weaver. The two had a past, so they ended up together. Furthermore, since the punishment was completed, the Jade Emperor agreed, and in the presence of the Yaochi Holy Mother, the Queen Mother, the two became a couple.

But they failed to appreciate the grace of the Yaochi Holy Mother for bringing them together, only concerned with their own pleasure."

The Queen Mother, in a fit of rage, took her complaint to the Jade Emperor.

The Jade Emperor sent the Pagoda-Bearing King to capture the two, but despite their desperate resistance, they were still caught.

The Jade Emperor decided to execute the duo, but Lord Lao Zi of the Great Monad and Gold Star Taibai intervened once more to plead on their behalf.

Ultimately, the Queen Mother drew the Milky Way as the boundary, separating the two on either side of the celestial river, allowing them to meet just once a year over the Magpie Bridge.

"That’s the whole story,"

Zhou Yun said in one breath, then looked up to see countless pairs of stunned eyes.

Zhou Yun asked, "Everyone, any questions?"

Code flickered through Sims’s eyes before he asked, "Brother Zhou, why do I feel like we’re helping the villain?

If Golden Child is flirting with the Weaver, isn’t that hooliganism?

In our place, that’s a capital offense.

Not putting him to death and making him suffer for a few years, isn’t that just reformation through labor?

If the reformation didn’t go well and he even stole someone’s clothes, doesn’t that make him a thief?

Using the clothes to force someone into a relationship, isn’t that what bandits and robbers do?

Once together, showing no gratitude, isn’t that ingratitude?

In the end, I feel... it’s only fair!"

The Stone Giant nodded, "I also feel... like we might be the villains."

Fire Spirit, who was female, glared at them and said, "You emotionless creatures, you just don’t understand this tragic love story! Shut up, the Cowherd and Weaver obviously had feelings for each other. Otherwise, why would the Weaver have stayed in the Lower Realm and married the Cowherd?"

"Because her clothes were stolen. Are you suggesting she fly naked?" someone retorted.

Zhou Yun said, "There are many versions of the story, some say she couldn’t fly without her clothes, couldn’t cross worlds, couldn’t enter the Heavenly Court, and the Weaver was coerced by the Cowherd’s threats over her clothes, so she had no choice but to stay; others say the two had a past and the Weaver chose to stay.

At any rate, there are many rumors, and as for what exactly the tale of the Cowherd and Weaver here is like, without having experienced it, I do not know."

Then Zhou Yun added, "Ladies and gentlemen, I think it’s pointless to discuss whether we are the villains or heroes; this is just a task, one that has no impact on reality. What we need to do is help Gang Leader Cowherd reunite with the Weaver, it’s as simple as that!"

"Indeed simple, the first task is to steal the clothes near Washing Spring, which is not difficult.

A mere eighth-rank two-star Rabbit, easily extinguished," said the Stone Giant.

But Sims shook his head, "The first task is simple, but what about the second one?

This story sounds simple, but it contains too many possibilities.

The Jade Emperor, Pagoda-Bearing King, these might be enemies we encounter later."

Everyone nodded in agreement...

"I think so too.

The first task is just an eighth-rank Wild Monster BOSS, but in the second task, we might have to face a Divine General, and it’s hard to say how powerful that Divine General will be.

Even if weak, a god is still a god, and a god is an existence we currently cannot challenge.

So the only reward we can get in this world task is from the first task," Zhou Yun said.

The group felt somewhat unenthused, "Rewards are related to the difficulty of the task. What’s so hard about defeating an eighth-rank two-star Rabbit?

With such an easy task, can we expect any decent reward?"

"Ah... consider it an experience," someone sighed.

Everyone nodded, and then another question arose, having mostly analyzed the tasks, where was Cowherd?

Just then, a rascal’s voice rang out, "Old Huang, are these the helpers you mentioned? They don’t seem very reliable."
