In the courtyard, Wang Shufen poured out all her unfilial acts like beans spilling from a bamboo tube. She swore that she would be a good daughter to her parents-in-law in the future, but... she hadn't heard the "fortune teller" say anything, and she couldn't help but feel uneasy.
Fortunately, the 'master immortal' did not budge, but the 'fairy maiden' did speak up.
"My lord, I think this woman really knows she was wrong now. In that case, let's give her a chance to make amends. As long as she can behave well in the future, repent and be filial to her parents-in-law from the bottom of her heart, let's forgive her this time."
"Your power is boundless, and your judgment is impeccable. If she ever misbehaves or acts unfilially in the future, you can punish her severely then. What do you think?"
"Hmph! Such a disobedient and unfilial woman, if she isn't severely punished, how can the morals of this world be corrected? He Xiangu, if you ask me, you're just too soft-hearted, so..."
"So that's why I've come down to the mortal realm to undergo tribulation. Star Lord, I know you hate evil, but you should know that I don't help just anyone. If this Wang Shufen were truly such a heinous person, I wouldn't help her. It's just that I feel there's still hope for her, that she has a repentant heart, so I'm asking you to give her a chance."
"How about this? This time she's only given a small punishment as a warning, so let's call it quits. It's not that we're waiving her punishment, but rather that we'll postpone it and see how she behaves. If she changes, that's fine. But if she dares to be disobedient and unfilial again, then not only will she suffer for forty-nine days, but after she goes to hell, she'll also be skinned alive, have her tendons pulled out, and be boiled in oil until she's reborn as an animal, never to be human again. What do you say?"
"Alright, alright. Since you, He Xiangu, have put it this way, if I insist on punishing her, it would be disrespectful to you. So let's do as you say and give her a chance."
"Thank you, Star Lord."
"Hmph, thanking me won't help. Since you're going to untie her, then untie her yourself. I'm leaving."
"Yes, yes, I'll figure it out myself. Take care, Star Lord."
He Xiangu played two roles, and after sending the so-called Star Lord away, she said to Wang Shufen in a serious tone, "Wang Shufen, did you hear what I and the Star Lord said clearly?"
"I heard you clearly, I heard you clearly." Although Wang Shufen was terrified by what the 'two immortals' said later—about going to hell, being skinned alive, having tendons pulled out, being thrown into a cauldron, and being reborn as an animal—the pain she felt now was real. Therefore, she didn't dare hesitate for a moment and quickly said, "I remember your great kindness, Immortal Maiden. I will never dare to do anything disobedient or unfilial again, causing you any trouble..."
He Xiangu immediately rebuked, "What are you saying, you woman? What do you mean I'm in a difficult position? Let me tell you, I'm not in a difficult position. Anyway, you heard what I said clearly. I saved you this time, but if you do it again next time, not even a celestial being from heaven can save you, let alone me."
"If you really don't repent and continue to do disobedient and unfilial things, then wait to be skinned alive, have your tendons pulled out, and be boiled in oil. In your next life, you'll be reborn as livestock!"
"Yes, yes, yes." Wang Shufang nodded repeatedly and said, "I didn't express myself clearly, and I didn't say anything wrong. But Fairy, I really know I was wrong this time, and I will never dare to do it again. Please, Fairy, have mercy and help me to lift the Great Immortal's punishment."
