Fairy Weining gazed steadily at the Jade Emperor, dark clouds churning in the depths of her eyes, yet her voice remained gentle as she spoke every word with deliberate care: "The Heavenly Statutes are the righteous principle and cosmic pillar of the Three Realms—sacred and inviolable. Eldest Princess Yaoji has broken the Heavenly Statutes; her crime is not light, and it is only right that she face punishment. Is that not so?"
Hearing her mention Yaoji, the Jade Emperor felt a surge of displeasure. His face grew cold as he said in a deep voice, "Indeed. The Heavenly Statutes are forged by the Heavenly Dao, standing high above and ruling over the Three Realms. Any living being who violates the Heavenly Statutes must be severely punished without leniency, and Yaoji is naturally no exception. Furthermore, as the Eldest Princess invested as the Goddess of Desire, she knowingly broke the law, making her crime all the more grave!"
With that, he cast a deep look at Weining and said chillingly, "Weining, as the Law Enforcement Deity, upholding the Heavenly Statutes is your duty. You have witnessed the fates that befell Yaoji and the Yang Family; let this serve as a warning to you, and do not act so recklessly again. Considering this is your first offense, and for the sake of Goddess Nuwa, I will not pursue the matter further this time. However, this once and never again! Weining, do you understand?"
