Chapter 161: Chapter 161 Asking the Matchmaker

He continued to read the replies.

Xiaomuyuhan: "Guessing back and forth, it’s better to have Brother Monkey go directly to Lord of Marriage Fates and ask clearly, to see if there’s any change in the marriage thread between the two."

Zhi Ye: "If we consider the analysis of the elder brothers above, there definitely seems to be a problem with the deities in charge of marital connections in Heavenly Court. Lord of Marriage Fates probably won’t tell the truth."

Tiantian Mengyou: "There are quite a few deities in charge of marital connections in Heavenly Court. If Lord of Marriage Fates doesn’t tell the truth, there are still Lord Tianxi and Star Lord Consort Jiang of King Zhou, and Princess Long Ji,"

"One harboring deep hatred for Chan Teaching, and one a victim of marital misfortune. If Brother Monkey investigates the marriage issue, they will definitely help Brother Monkey."

Carp King uses Prayer for Rain: "Moreover, previously Sun Wukong resolved the chaos of Taiyin Star, essentially saving Taiyin Star Lord Consort Jiang once, King Zhou owes him a favor, he won’t possibly refuse to help."

"Exactly my intention!" Sun Wukong scratched his hand, and at the same time, continuous prompt tones rang in his mind.

[You have received a new suggestion: Go ask Lord of Marriage Fates to clarify, completing the suggestion will grant you a Tier-4 Treasure Chest]

[You have received a new suggestion: Seek help from Lord Tianxi or Princess Long Ji, completing the suggestion will grant you a Tier-4 Treasure Chest]

He looked at other replies.

Xiu Ye Zhi Yu: "It’s strange, why can’t immortals fall in love among themselves?"

Jiu Ding Tian Yuan: "You’d have to ask the Changsheng Great Emperor about that, he’s the one who set those divine laws."

Peng Wu Jiu Tian Zhi Shang: "It’s because the person who set the divine laws is an old bachelor himself."

Renjie Diling Akam: "It’s absurd that immortals can’t fall in love with each other, but I think it makes sense that immortals shouldn’t fall in love with mortals,

because to some extent, immortals and mortals aren’t the same species, and there’s the matter of lifespan. When mortals are about to die, immortals would do anything to extend their beloved’s life, so it’s correct that mortals can’t be in love with immortals."

Pacific General: "Indeed, Yang Tianyou and the Cowherd are mortals, mortals in the eyes of immortals are like teddy bears to humans, not the same species at all,

so on the journey to obtain scriptures, many of those descended immortals saw mortals as food, and they didn’t feel any guilt about it."

Jiang Mo Nai: "I think it’s reasonable for immortals to be prohibited from falling in love, since immortals live so long. Once they start having children, it’s not just one or two, it could be described as thousands, then resources would definitely not be sufficient, leading to another catastrophe."

Jiu Ding Tian Yuan: "But generally speaking, the immortal species has a hard time reproducing."

Jiang Mo Nai: "In the tales of the Vast Wilderness Journey to the West, this wasn’t the setting, Di Jun’s wife Xi He even bore ten in one go. According to the setup, since immortals breed easily, Heavenly Court prohibits immortals from falling in love,

of course, in cursed and barren areas, they can do as they please because even if they did give birth, they couldn’t afford to raise them."

Jironiu: "The divine law prohibiting the reproduction of immortals, fundamentally speaking, isn’t flawed,

unless the world could continuously produce new Spiritual Energy. Otherwise, the more immortals there are, the faster the consumption of Spiritual Energy, and the inevitable arrival of the Last Dharma would lead to the extinction of the whole community of immortals."

Huakai Bi An Jian Xiang Si: "Right, Southern Extremity Longevity Star, although opposing the Jade Emperor, couldn’t be said to have set incorrect divine laws; after all, as a significant figure, he wouldn’t establish such mindless laws."

After reading these replies, Sun Wukong scratched his face thoughtfully. Although he was quite annoyed with the Southern Extremity Longevity Star, he had to admit, these netizens made a lot of sense.

Some more replies followed.

Zhuge Da Shijie: "Could Brother Monkey be plotting something big again because of this calculation, perhaps retaking the path of wreaking havoc in Heavenly Court? I think if it caused an uproar in Heavenly Court because of this matter, it would absolutely be earth-shattering."

Feng Leng Han Qiu: "Wreaking havoc in Heavenly Court! This time, the three major rebels of Heavenly Court should turn everything upside down!"

Azhen Fei Shi Fei Zhou Zhang: "Wreaking havoc in Heavenly Court group, who else is coming?"

Renjie Diling Akam: "I reckon it will be wreaking havoc in Heavenly Court, but in a different form this time,

namely, as a cause based on the scheme against Monkey this time. Besides Sun Wukong, siblings Yang Chan and Yang Jian might be involved, probably Ne Zha too,

and more will get entangled later. Not to mention others, just the marriage issue alone would bring out King Zhou,

Chan Teaching, Sect of Interception, and even the Demon Cult, tsk tsk, the scene this time will likely be huge."

Needle was not an African chief, "This is too spectacular."

"Hmm, if it is as these netizens predecessors claim, one must be cautious," Sun Wukong thought to himself.

Thereafter, he turned off his Zhi Hu platform and glanced toward the distant horizon, only to find that Taibai Jinxing was there, hiding and observing cautiously.

Seeing him look over, Taibai Jinxing smiled and bowed.

"Hmph!" Sun Wukong felt somewhat displeased in his heart; he knew Yang Jian must have been summoned by Taibai Jinxing, who was in turn assigned by the Jade Emperor.

Thus, the Jade Emperor and his cohort had already discovered the issue of the matrimonial connection between him and Yang Chan.

With this thought, Sun Wukong immediately flew towards the Hall of Marriage Fates, where the god of marriage resided.

Today, he would surely stir up a disturbance to relieve the resentment in his heart!

Meanwhile, Taibai Jinxing stroked his beard and sighed lightly, the recently peaceful Heavenly Court was, after all, unable to remain harmonious and trouble-free from various conflicts.

After a while, Yang Chan forcefully dragged Yang Jian back to the Heavenly Court.

Taibai Jinxing went up to meet them and repeated the news of Sun Wukong rushing to the Hall of Marriage Fates.

Yang Jian showed a flicker of admiration but quickly his face turned cold.

Yang Chan, on the other hand, was looking down, seemingly lost in thought.

Subsequently, the three of them also hastened toward the Hall of Marriage Fates.

...

Although Sun Wukong seldom attended the court meetings at the Lingxiao Treasure Hall, he was still familiar with the situations of various palaces and halls in the Heavenly Court.

The Hall of Marriage Fates and the Refining Fire Hall were on the same level, but compared to the Refining Fire Hall, this place clearly had more incense burned.

In terms of immortal officials, the master of the Hall of Marriage Fates was Fu Yuan, an old minister of the Heavenly Court who had been following the Jade Emperor even before the Divine Enthronement.

According to what one of the netizens just mentioned, this elder of the Heavenly Court had schemed against the Jade Emperor’s daughter, Princess Long Ji, though the reason was unknown.

There were also two vice-masters of the Hall of Marriage Fates,

The first was Lord Tianxi, Di Xin, the last human king anointed by the great Zhou known as King Zhou.

The second was the god of marriage, principally in charge of the affairs of all living beings’ matrimonial fates, connecting people through threads of destiny.

Of these three, Sun Wukong had only seen Fu Yuan and the god of marriage at the Lingxiao Treasure Hall.

He arrived at the Hall of Marriage Fates in a furious manner, and the god of marriage came out to greet him.

The previous great battle had already alarmed many immortals in the Heavenly Court, so the old man wearing a web of red threads appeared quite alarmed at this moment.

As the deity in charge of marriage, the god of marriage could obviously tell that something was not right with the relationship between Sun Wukong and Yang Chan during the previous battle.

Sun Wukong’s presence now probably meant no good.

"The humble god pays his respects to the North Star Lord," the god of marriage saluted respectfully, then cautiously asked, "May I know what brings the Lord to the Hall of Marriage Fates?"

"Old Sun wants to look at his own marriage fate," Sun Wukong said in a deep voice.

"This..." the god of marriage hesitated, "Lord, this is against the rules."

"Hmm?" Sun Wukong’s intimidating glare shot towards him like an arrow.

The god of marriage was startled, hurriedly responding, "If the Lord wishes just a brief look, it is possible."

He then led the way forward.
