The disciple of Yue Lao

Chapter 71: Rat Demon Steals Peaches and is Caught with Honor

"What's the matter?" The Weaver Girl tried her best to conceal her inner joy and pretended to have her usual calm expression.

"I……"

When the little fairy saw Xia Yu was there, she hesitated while speaking, and anyone with a discerning eye could tell what was going on.

Xia Yu is a smart person. Since the other party had given her such an obvious hint, she quickly found an excuse to leave.

"Sister Zhinu." Xia Yu pretended to look at the sky outside. Although it would not change, she hurriedly said, "Oh... I didn't notice that I have been out for so long. I have to go back to the [Marriage Palace] quickly. I will come to see you another day when I have time."

"Okay." The Weaver Girl smiled and nodded.

In fact, she gave the peaches that ripen once every nine thousand years to Xia Yu because she wanted to ask for something.

But Xia Yu gave her a "cell phone" and helped her contact the gigolo. As a result, she didn't dare to make any other requests.

Watching Xia Yu leave on a cloud, the fairy said hurriedly: "Fairy Weaver, the fairy who sent the peaches to the earth for you has been discovered. Erlang Shen has detained him and is preparing to send him to the Queen Mother..."

"Didn't I ask him to send me peaches today?" The Weaver Girl felt puzzled. Why was the little fairy detained by Erlang Shen today?

It turned out that she had asked him to deliver the peaches several times, but he had not come to [Vega Palace] today. How could the Vega have the chance to give him the peaches?

"That little fairy helped you deliver peaches several times before, and he was never discovered. This time, he didn't come to you, but stole a large peach that matures once every nine thousand years." The little fairy was getting more and more angry, and said, "How could he know that Erlang Shen was in a good mood today and checked more carefully. He had a three thousand year old peach and a nine thousand year old peach hidden on him, Erlang Shen became suspicious and detained him."

"It's normal to detain him for stealing the peaches." The Weaver Girl originally thought that he couldn't come because of something else. It turned out that he didn't want to help deliver the peaches anymore, so he went to steal the peaches himself.

It was taken away, and given Zhinu’s current situation, there was no way for him to escape.

"The terrible thing is, he told the Queen Mother that the peaches were given to him by you." The expression of "wanting to say something but not daring to say it" on the little fairy's face aroused the suspicion of the Weaver Girl.

"What then?" the Weaver Girl asked hurriedly.

The fairy looked at the anxious look of the Weaver Girl and continued, "The fairy was only given three thousand years of peaches, and he didn't get any peaches for several years. However, he has more than 30,000 years of cultivation in his body... The Queen Mother thought he had stolen peaches several times, and in anger she took away his more than 30,000 years of cultivation and turned him back to his original form..."

"He... stole the peaches I gave to Cowherd..." The Weaver Girl carefully counted how many times she had asked the fairy to deliver the peaches.

Eating one of the peaches that ripen once every nine thousand years can improve one's cultivation by two thousand years; eating one of the peaches that ripen once every six thousand years can improve one's cultivation by one thousand years; eating one of the peaches that ripen once every three thousand years can help one's cultivation. (If one's body is not able to accept the peaches that can improve one's cultivation, eating too many of them blindly will cause one to explode and die.)
When that little immortal came to see her last year, he only had over 7 years of cultivation, but suddenly his cultivation increased by years. In addition to his own cultivation, he must have stolen at least peaches...

Apparently, in addition to helping her deliver the peaches, he also secretly stole the peaches, but simply saved them and did not eat them immediately.

This year he finally ate all the peaches he had saved, and his cultivation level improved immediately, so he didn't dare to come to the [Vega Palace] to see her again.

hateful……

"Fortunately, before he betrayed you, the Fairy Weaver, the Queen Mother had already beaten him back to his original form. Otherwise..." The little fairy did not dare to continue.

The Weaver Girl was still somewhat nervous. If the Queen Mother knew about this and wanted to punish the Cowherd in anger, then all her efforts would be in vain. "Has the Queen Mother... summoned me?" the Weaver Girl asked cautiously.

The little fairy shook her head and said, "Your Majesty seems to not believe what that little fairy said. He said that the peaches today were sent by you, the Weaver Girl Fairy, but he has never been to the Weaver Girl Palace today, so Your Majesty naturally won't believe him."

The peaches were gone, and I don’t know if Niulang had eaten one or two.

Fortunately, the Queen Mother did not find out what she had done, so she could find someone else to help deliver the peaches to Cowherd in the future.

Let’s ask Xia Yu to come again in a few days!

……

It is said that when Xia Yu was on his way back to the [Marriage Palace], he suddenly saw Erlang Shen holding a very cute big rat in his hand. It seemed that it had just come from the direction of [Yaochi].

Xia Yu was curious, so he stepped on the clouds and landed in front of Erlang Shen. He bowed politely and said, "My little fairy greets Erlang Shen."

When he goes to [Yao Chi], his clone must be watching over [Nantianmen], right?
Erlang Shen didn't have the time to chat with Xia Yu, so he turned around and walked away.

Xia Yu was not willing to give up until he got to the bottom of the matter. He immediately chased after him and stopped Erlang Shen again. Pointing at the big rat in his hand, he asked, "Erlang Shen, what is this..."

Erlang Shen didn't answer, so Xia Yu guessed, "You don't want Roaring Sky Dog to eat it, do you? I remember that dogs sometimes meddle in other people's business and help cats catch mice. But they don't eat mice..."

Erlang Shen was also fed up and didn't want to listen to Xia Yu's further nonsense, so he replied coldly: "This rat demon practiced for seven thousand years to become an immortal, but he still had the heart to steal the peaches from the Queen Mother, and was caught by me today."

"Tsk tsk tsk..." Xia Yu looked at the big rat with sympathy and silently made way for Erlang Shen.

It was covered in wounds and had no skills left, which meant... it had to start from scratch...!
Erlang Shen held his trident in one hand and the big rat in the other, and headed towards the [Nantianmen] without looking back.

"Instead of being a good immortal, he took shortcuts to improve his cultivation. Now he has lost all his cultivation and been thrown down from the Ninth Heaven. Probably... he has gone straight to the underworld?" Xia Yu shook his head and sighed at Erlang Shen's back.

Xia Yu was too lazy to fly again, and walked back to the [Marriage Palace] step by step, still wondering in his heart whether the rat demon had any connection with the Weaver Girl?
Why did the little fairy rush to look for the Weaver Girl when something happened to the Rat Demon?

It is impossible that the Weaver Girl asked him to steal the peaches?
The Weaver Girl couldn’t even finish eating all the peaches she was given every year, and there were so many stored in the crystal cabinet, so why would she need to steal?
unless……

Xia Yu was so focused on thinking that he kept walking forward with his head down, and accidentally bumped into someone's arms.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry..." Xia Yu apologized quickly. She looked up and saw the person she had bumped into. She was so scared that her legs went weak and she fell to the ground.

It’s over, it’s over…!
It's over now!

How did I end up in his arms?
"Xia Yu, the ninety-ninth disciple of Yue Lao, why are you wandering around instead of staying in the [Marriage Palace]?"

A deep questioning voice came into Xia Yu's ears, and Xia Yu knew that she was going to be unlucky again today!
"In reply to the God, I was ordered by my master to go to the [Vega Palace] to deliver today's peaches to the Fairy Weaver Girl. I was just about to go back to report to my master when I was distracted and offended the God. I hope the God will forgive me." Xia Yu spoke every word with fear, hoping that the God would be merciful and let her go.
