You should know that Wang Yao only earns 1 point of merit for arranging a marriage in the human world. The fairy is calculating that he can only earn 3 points of merit per day if he arranges one marriage in the morning, noon and night.
So she used this condition to appease Wang Yao. Although she didn't know if the Heavenly Court would agree, if the Heavenly Court really didn't agree, she would go directly to the Heavenly Emperor.
After all, Zhenxingjun also said that he was personally appointed by the Heavenly Emperor. Since you asked me to do something, of course you have to give me resources. Merit is the most basic resource in the Heavenly Court. It is created by the Heavenly Court itself, just like banknotes from the mint. In the end, how much you use is just a number.
Moreover, for immortals at her level, merit is of little use. She doesn't want elixirs or immortal artifacts, just some merit, and I imagine the Heavenly Emperor wouldn't be stingy with it.
On the other hand, before she came down, she had accumulated some merit in order to make a deal with Wang Yao. If the Heavenly Court really disagreed or gave less than what she promised Wang Yao, she could simply give him some more herself.
She didn't know how long she could keep this job, and she planned to get rid of it as soon as possible. Those merits were useless to her, so she might as well give them to Wang Yao so that he wouldn't feel too wronged.
To everyone's surprise, Wang Yao's heart sank upon hearing this. Three or four points of merit? In the underworld, he could easily accumulate thousands of points of merit by helping Hui Shuo find a partner. What use were three or four points of merit to him now? They were utterly meaningless!
“Fairy Maiden, I really have limited abilities, I really can’t do it! Don’t worry, I will take care of Lu Xian’s matter as soon as I return to the human realm, so please don’t force me. There are plenty of powerful beings in the Heavenly Court, you can go to them, why bother with a little fairy like me who has no ability at all?” Wang Yao said.
"Such a good opportunity, you really don't want it?" Fairy stared at Wang Yao in astonishment.
"I really don't want to be an immortal. A simple and ordinary life is the true way to live. I prefer to do my ordinary but great job," Wang Yao said sincerely.
"Do you know that since I am a member of the Heavenly Court's Tribulation Leadership Group, I have the authority to borrow all the Heavenly Court's serving immortals? If I really want to use you, no one can stop me, including yourself, unless you don't want to be the Matchmaker anymore!" The fairy's face fell.
“Fairy, it’s not very nice of you to say that. It was a mistake for me to come down to the Underworld. I’ve been busy all this time, but most of it has been for you and for the sake of the Six Realms. Moreover, the reason I didn’t want to join the group is because I’m not capable enough and I’m afraid I’ll hold you back.”
"You even blame me for this? Didn't that thing bite your husband? Don't you appreciate kindness?" Wang Yao said aggrievedly.
When the fairy heard Wang Yao say this, she frowned, thought for a moment, and then sighed.
"Let me be honest with you, you have to join this group whether you want to or not. I don't trust any other immortals. Your ability to deal with spirit bodies is one thing, but the most important thing is that this job is extremely sensitive. I need my subordinates to be of one mind with me, otherwise there will be big trouble."
The fairy maiden spoke solemnly.
“Fairy Maiden, whether we join the group or not, we are all working for the Heavenly Court. You can’t extort money from me! I haven’t even reached the Foundation Establishment stage yet. You can’t trust me, but I can’t trust myself. I can’t bear the responsibility if I delay the important work that the Heavenly Emperor entrusted to you!”
Seeing that the fairy was forcing him into something, Wang Yao hurriedly said...
“Listen to me, I’m more familiar with the situation in Heaven than you are. Although the Seven Saints Hall is nominally ranked the same except for the Heavenly Emperor, there are actually differences between them,” the fairy maiden said slowly, ignoring Wang Yao’s words.
"Generally speaking, below the Heavenly Emperor is Laozi, after all, Laozi is senior and was a veteran minister when the previous Heavenly Emperor was in power. He also made great contributions to the Heavenly Emperor's ascension to the throne. After the Heavenly Emperor ascended the throne, he was originally going to retire like the old immortals such as Yuanshi Tianzun."
"But in the end, the Heavenly Emperor still managed to get him out. Although he was only in charge of the Celestial Realm Administration Bureau, he actually had the authority to oversee all affairs of the Six Realms, including the deployment of important Heavenly Court forces such as celestial soldiers and generals."
"He and Venus, one in charge of internal affairs and the other in charge of external affairs, are the Heavenly Emperor's right and left arms. With the Heavenly Court's emergency rescue leadership group being upgraded this time, and the Heavenly Emperor serving as the group leader, the most likely scenario is that Laozi and Venus will serve as the deputy group leaders respectively."
"Zhenxingjun has always been in charge of planning for the future of the Six Realms, and has nothing to do with the matter of the tribulation. Now, Laozi has not taken on the role of deputy leader, but has promoted Zhenxingjun. Don't you find this strange?" the fairy asked.
"What's so strange about that? Maybe the Heavenly Emperor wants to cultivate Zhenxing Jun, or maybe Laozi finds it too troublesome and doesn't want to do it. There are many possibilities," Wang Yao replied dismissively.
"How could that be? The division of power in Heaven is a well-established practice, and everyone knows it. They don't need to do anything themselves; they're just nominally in charge. This arrangement of the group either indicates a major change in the power structure of Heaven or has a deeper meaning." The fairy hurriedly shook her head.
"And I'll also tell you that Venus is a staunch advocate of peace with the foreign world in the Heavenly Court. Mo Guangmu of the South Heavenly Gate was sent to the Reflection and Repentance School because he captured a low-ranking foreign god who had trespassed into the South Heavenly Gate."
"That's why Li Jing sent Wuji Immortal General to tell me to watch my words. Think about it, Robin is basically a foreign god. What's wrong with saying that a foreign god caused a great calamity? But it was defined as a terrorist attack. This shows that in the Heavenly Court, Taibai Jinxing's opinion has become dominant."
"As for my current leader, Lord Zhenxing, he has always been in charge of more abstract work and rarely holds real power. He is a level below Laozi and Venus. Now you understand the ins and outs, right?"
