Shen Bing clearly remembered that the Queen Mother had agreed to let Cowherd and Weaver Girl marry and never be parted for all eternity.
The old hag had even sworn an oath to the Heavenly Dao. How could she dare go back on it?
Did she really think that with the Heavenly Dao no longer manifesting itself, no one could deal with her?
Although he had indeed laid a trap for her by making her swear that oath, even taking its wording at face value, what the Queen Mother was doing now surely violated it, didn't it?
"Wait! That's not right!" Shen Bing suddenly snapped to his senses.
He seemed to have overlooked something.
Yes, the Queen Mother had agreed to let Cowherd and Weaver Girl marry and never be parted for all eternity, but she had never said she wouldn't do anything else.
For instance, locking Cowherd and Weaver Girl in the Heavenly Prison, as she had done now, did indeed keep them together for all eternity. But what the hell did that have to do with lovers being happily reunited?
"Damn! This one's on me!"
Judging by the system notification, he would also be punished by the system if he failed to complete this quest.
The most frustrating part was that the system hadn't even specified the punishment. Was he supposed to fucking guess?
Would it wipe him out outright? Or shorten his dick by an inch? Or perhaps leave him permanently impotent?
Shen Bing couldn't understand why those last two punishments had suddenly occurred to him. Perhaps Yun Xue and Yuan Wei had gotten him worked up earlier, making him particularly worried about that sort of thing.
An emperor, for instance, would definitely worry about the health of his dick. But would a beggar worry about it?
