Heaven's Bureaucratic Warrior

In the heavenly realm, word spread that Yao Ji had secretly married, breaking heavenly law, and a commotion broke out. The gods reported to the throne, “Your Majesty, Yao Ji has been apprehended by Li Xing, the heavenly law enforcer.” Yet just as Li Xing was about to take her into custody, he suddenly stopped and left the battlefield, leaving everyone puzzled. The reason for his abrupt departure became clear when Emperor Haotian asked the time and was told it was “cock crow time,” marking the end of Li Xing’s workday. The gods were stunned, and Haotian, though frustrated, decided to postpone the capture until the next day. But at that moment, the duty god spoke up, “I’m afraid that won’t be possible, Your Majesty... tomorrow is Li Xing’s double rest day.” Haotian’s face turned red with rage as he realized that even his heavenly law enforcer was bound by the constraints of a nine-to-five job. The heavenly bureaucracy had never seemed so mundane, and Haotian wondered if his realm had become too entrenched in earthly ways. The capture of Yao Ji would have to wait, as Li Xing was not scheduled to work the next day, leaving the heavenly authorities to deal with the aftermath of his sudden departure.
