Chapter 165: Chapter 165: Destined to be Husbandless

Never believed in fate?

Upon hearing this, Yang Chan wiped away her tears, her hand flashed with a radiant light, and she reversed the Treasure Lotus Lamp to scratch on the Three-Life Stone with its base.

"Chan’er, don’t do it!" Yang Jian shouted loudly but was too late to stop her.

Sun Wukong was right beside her but did not attempt to intervene, instead, he looked on with approval.

Defying fate should be just like this!

The base of the lamp, shimmering with divine light, glided over the stone, erasing "Husband, scholar of Mount Hua, Liu Yanchang."

Boom!

Suddenly, there were thunderous sounds in the netherworld, as if thunder punishment was descending, its terrifying force overpowering everything, making the cycle of reincarnation tremble, and countless souls wail in fear and anxiety.

"Humph!" Meng Po’s eyes shimmered with mist, a formidable aura rising. She tapped her walking stick gently on the ground and scolded, "Disperse!"

The thunderous sounds of the netherworld vanished instantly.

Pfft!

However, Yang Chan still spat out a large mouthful of blood. Her Primordial Spirit trembled, and her aura declined rapidly.

She suffered the backlash of causality by erasing the marriage destiny on the Three-Life Stone.

"Chan’er!" Yang Jian panicked and rushed to Yang Chan’s side.

But someone was faster than him. Sun Wukong was prepared, expertly produced a One Nine-Turn Golden Elixir from his hand, and stuffed it into Yang Chan’s mouth, stabilizing her injuries and swiftly healing her.

Everyone was not surprised that Sun Wukong possessed the Nine-Turn Golden Core, as the Jade Emperor had awarded him with it before.

Sun Wukong then supported Yang Chan and praised with a smile, "Chan’er, well done, just like this."

However, Yang Chan’s emotions were still downcast, whispering to Yang Jian who came by her side, "Second Brother, I want to leave."

Yang Jian felt deep pity, gave Sun Wukong a glare, and took Yang Chan into his arms, "Chan’er, just wait a little more, your second brother will take you home in a moment."

Sun Wukong scratched his face, said nothing more, and asked Meng Po, "Granny, may Sun check the marriage destinies of the other three? Their fates are set, it won’t affect anything."

"That should be fine." Meng Po nodded.

Guang Chengzi’s expression changed.

Tai Bai Jin Xing and Yang Jian exchanged glances, both guessing whom Sun Wukong intended to check, and that was why they had followed him here.

But the issue now was, how did Sun Wukong know without them even mentioning it?

At that moment, with Meng Po’s permission, Sun Wukong used his mana to write down three names on the Three-Life Stone: Heavenly Court Princess Yaoji, Heavenly Court Weaving Lady Princess, Heavenly Court Princess Longji.

And behind their marriage destinies, it displayed all the same: Destined to have no husbands.

"This is impossible, mother and father’s marriage destiny..." Yang Chan received another blow, staring incredulously at the Three-Life Stone.

Yang Jian’s face was stern.

Sun Wukong’s eyes flickered, thinking as those wise netizens had said, the three closest to the Jade Emperor had also fallen victim to a marriage destiny plot.

Originally destined to have no husbands, their destinies were altered with the Marriage Destiny Book, bestowing them with husbands.

This was a change of fate, hence they experienced so many hardships and tribulations.

Princess Yaoji’s husband, Yang Tianyou, and their eldest son, Yang Jiao, both died early, and she herself had once been trapped under Peach Mountain.

Princess Long Ji’s fate was not a good one either; she descended to the mortal realm, was coerced into an arranged marriage, wedded to Hong Jin, and ultimately both perished with their souls enshrined in the Divine Enthronement.

Only Princess Weaver Girl fared somewhat better, but her family could not live together and had to endure the sorrow of separation.

"Second Brother, is this true?" Amid successive shocks, Yang Chan felt somewhat dazed.

"This is not important, all I know is that we are a family," Yang Jian said gravely.

"Hmm, let’s go to the Heavenly Court to see mother first," Yang Chan whispered.

"Okay," Yang Jian nodded, then paid respects to Meng Po and Taibai Venus before taking Yang Chan and leaving ahead.

Sun Wukong scratched his hand, wanting to say something, but he did not know what to say.

From a distance, he saw Yang Chan looking back with eyes full of reluctance.

At that moment, the Monkey King felt like someone was gripping his heart, making it very uncomfortable.

Yang Chan left without saying another word to Sun Wukong.

This experience had made her understand many things; she had indeed fallen for Sun Wukong.

Even without the machinations of this destined encounter, she had fallen for him.

She had seen clearly into her own heart, but she could not stay because that would make her a burden to Sun Wukong.

Clearly, Sun Wukong’s situation in the Heavenly Court was not as easy as she had perceived.

The Monkey King, the Great Sage Equalling Heaven, playful and mischievous every day, had many powerful adversaries and faced all kinds of unforeseeable schemes.

"I must become stronger!" Yang Chan withdrew her reluctant gaze, her eyes now filled with determination.

At that moment, Sun Wukong suppressed the discomfort in his heart, and looked very annoyed at Guang Chengzi, "Why are you still lingering around here? Want to taste your grandpa’s staff?"

"Hmph!" Guang Chengzi’s expression turned cold, but with Meng Po there, he had no chance to make a move and could only storm off with a flick of his sleeve.

Sun Wukong then bowed to Meng Po, "Grandmother, thank you. Old Sun will come to visit again."

Meng Po, leaning on her cane, advised, "It’s okay to have anger, but do not harbor evil thoughts, do not do bad things."

"Don’t worry, grandmother, Old Sun understands," Sun Wukong replied earnestly, aware that she was worried about his potential for mischief.

Finally, he turned to Taibai Venus, who was still standing nearby, and sneered, "Are you satisfied now?"

After speaking, he transformed into a streak of golden light and left the Bridge of Helplessness.

"Great Saint, Great Saint, wait for me!" Taibai Venus panicked, quickly paid his respects to Meng Po, and then soared after him with Divine Skills, surprisingly matching Sun Wukong’s speed!

Meng Po watched them leave, coughed a few times, and sighed, "This world is becoming more chaotic."

...

After returning to the Heavenly Court, Sun Wukong paused for a moment at the Southern Heavenly Gate.

Whoosh!

Taibai Venus soon caught up, apologizing in haste, "Great Saint, calm your anger, please calm your anger. I had indeed noticed something amiss between you and Fairy Yang Chan,

but the matter of this destined relationship is unpredictable. I was worried that if I informed you too soon, it might lead to further complications, so I took matters into my own hands, thinking to let the Great Saint realize everything by himself and find out who was behind all these schemes."

"Took matters into your own hands?" Sun Wukong’s gaze was sharp, issuing another warning to the old Celestial Official.

"I won’t dare again, won’t dare next time," Taibai Venus said with a placating smile.

Sun Wukong grunted, choosing not to pursue the matter further.

Actually, his anger had already subsided a lot; he knew that it was not the fault of the Jade Emperor or Taibai Venus, but the real culprits were others.

Another accomplice, needless to guess, was none other than the Master of the Hall of Marriage Fates, Immortal Fu Yuan!

It was this Heavenly Court elder who had decided the marriage fate of Princess Longji and Hong Jin.

Moreover, since Investiture of the Gods, even though the Jade Emperor’s power had been marginalized by the Chan Teaching, he had not re-employed Immortal Fu Yuan, obviously aware of these factors and thus precautionary.

With this in mind, Sun Wukong looked towards the Lingxiao Treasure Hall, understanding that the Heavenly Emperor, having endured till now, might now be ready to settle accounts.
