Chapter 399: The Love Brain of Heaven Was Taken Away by the Queen Mother
Su Lan pretended to be shy, nodded slightly, and followed Niulang back to his thatched house.
The cowherd was a strong young man in his late twenties, but he had never been able to find a wife. The reason was that his family was extremely poor. He had no land to farm, and his only place of residence was a simple thatched hut.
The cowherd was worried that his new wife would dislike him because of his family's poverty. So, he stammered and explained, "Although we have a shabby house, we don't have any land. However, I do have a big yellow ox. It's a good worker and can help me plow the fields. It can easily provide me with enough food to make a living."
Hearing this, Su Lan smiled slightly, with a bit of cunning in her eyes, and said slowly: "Oh? It turned out to be a yellow cow! But don't forget, you are going to marry me now. To tell you the truth, what I love most is the fragrant beef! So..." Having said that, she deliberately dragged out her tone, and her eyes fell on the honest and simple man in front of her with a smile.
When the cowherd heard this, his face flushed with anxiety. He quickly waved his hands and shook his head, and hurriedly replied, "Absolutely not! Ah Huang is not an ordinary cow. He is the matchmaker between us! If we kill him and eat his meat, wouldn't it be too unfair to him?"
However, Su Lan didn't seem to buy it. She curled her lips and snorted coldly, "Hmph! You won't even let me have a bite of beef, so why should I stay in this barren and desolate land and live a hard life?" Before she finished speaking, she turned around and pretended to leave.
"Oh, no, Fairy Wife, please wait a moment. I'll go talk to Ah Huang!" Niulang smiled and respectfully welcomed Su Lan into the simple thatched house. Then, he ran towards the backyard as fast as the wind.
Su Lan smiled slightly at this. She raised her hand slightly, and after a dazzling flash of light, an exquisite chair appeared before her. She sat down gracefully, her beautiful eyes slightly closed, concentrating on receiving the images transmitted by Tuanzi.
At that moment, in the backyard, a massive old cow lay sprawled on the ground, basking in the warm sunshine. Its tail occasionally twitched, shooing away the buzzing mosquitoes. Just then, like a gust of wind, the cowherd rushed over to the cow, clutching the shimmering, multicolored feathered garment.
"Ah Huang, look! I really got the fairy's feather robe!" The cowherd's voice trembled with excitement, and his eyes were shining with excitement. He couldn't wait to hand the feather robe to the old cow.
The old cow slowly raised its head, its cloudy eyes now revealing a hint of surprise and confusion. It stretched out its nose and gently sniffed the feathers, and instantly, a familiar and friendly scent hit it.
It was actually sent by that person to the lower world to help Cowherd marry the fairy. Now that the great cause has made further progress, the old ox is particularly looking forward to returning to heaven.
Su Lan, who has already mastered the ability to read minds: That person? The one who secretly instigated Lao Huangniu must be the mastermind behind the start of the era of love brain in the fairy world.
"But the fairy wife wants to eat your flesh!" The cowherd looked embarrassed and stammered out these words, then lowered his head like a child who had done something wrong. When the old ox standing nearby heard this, it was as if struck by lightning. Its body trembled violently, its eyes widened in shock, and it couldn't help but exclaimed: "What?!"
"Could it be that you have misunderstood? The Weaver Girl is the kindest among the fairies. If she knew your situation, she would definitely feel pity and stay to help you improve your life. How could she want to eat... eat my flesh?" The old ox panted and shook his head in disbelief, trying to convince the cowherd to believe his judgment.
Back in the day, when the old ox was still Taurus, he had secretly observed the Weaver Girl from afar. Back then, the Weaver Girl was beautiful, gentle, and kind, like the brightest star in the night sky. When someone proposed marrying the Weaver Girl to the son of a farmer, the old ox considered it carefully and, ultimately, agreed for the sake of a better future.
However, at this moment, the cowherd said with a sad face: "I really didn't misunderstand her. She told me with her own mouth that she wanted to eat beef. I really don't know what to do now!" Seeing the cowherd's distraught look, the old ox couldn't help but become anxious.
It pondered for a moment, then its eyes lit up. It quickly said to the cowherd, "How about this? Go to the market and buy some pork or mutton. Use this to appease her first. Also, that feathered robe is the key to keeping her. You must not let her take it away! As long as she has it, she won't be able to leave easily."
But after successfully sending the cowherd away, it suddenly felt an indescribable sense of unease. This feeling followed it like a shadow, as if invisible eyes were watching it closely. At this moment, a suffocatingly powerful force suddenly descended, instantly binding the old ox firmly in place. No matter how hard it struggled, it could not move an inch.
"Who is this...who on earth is this? Which immortal passed by here? I am just a small star who came to the mortal world to experience disasters! Please, immortal, have mercy on me and let me go! I..." The old ox was terrified and begged for mercy with a trembling voice.
However, it was all in vain. Not far away, Su Lan had returned to her original form, slowly walking towards the old ox with a graceful and elegant figure. Each of her steps was light and elegant, but in the old ox's eyes, it was as terrifying as the approach of death.
"Hmph, it's obvious that he was demoted to the lower world because of his mistakes, but in your mouth, it turned into a journey to the mortal world to experience hardships? You are really eloquent!" Su Lan said with a sneer, a sharp light flashing in her beautiful eyes.
Hearing this, the old ox's face turned extremely pale. When it finally saw Su Lan's face clearly, it was even more frightened.
It knew full well that it was doomed today. But it wondered if the person before it had already figured out its plan to seduce the fairy on behalf of the Cowherd. If so, the consequences would be unimaginable... Thinking of this, the old ox shuddered.
"If you tell me who ordered you to do this, I will let you reincarnate. Otherwise, don't blame me for being ruthless and letting your soul fly away!" Su Lan's eyes were full of majesty as she stared coldly at the old ox in front of her.
The old ox seemed to want to speak, but only a hoarse whimper could come out of its throat. It struggled hard but could not express itself clearly. Su Lan frowned slightly when she saw this, thinking to herself: This old ox must have been restricted by someone, making it unable to speak.
In a flash, she crouched beside the old ox, extending her jade-white right hand and gently caressing its head. Then, Su Lan closed her eyes, her mind shifting, and she fully mobilized the powerful strength of her true self. A faint golden light emanated from her palm, pouring continuously into the old ox's body.
After a moment, a hazy mist slowly dissipated, and Su Lan finally saw through the mist the figure hidden deep in the old ox's mind. When the face appeared clearly before her, Su Lan couldn't help but gasp—it was actually the Jade Emperor in the original owner's memory!
