So, on this unfortunate day, the Demon Lord was personally competing with these balls of yarn.
His soul carefully left his body, and after finally freeing his body from the entangled balls of yarn, he had to stuff the yarn back one by one and find Simon's red thread among such a complicated ball of yarn.
The operation was somewhat difficult, especially for a demon king, whose true form was a cat. Even a powerful demon king would feel exhausted. Even more exhausting was the fact that the suspicious and arrogant demon king simply couldn't trust anyone else with such an important task, not even the shadow guardian, so he had to do it himself.
Finally, Ming Huan personally put away all the balls of yarn in the room, and the ball of yarn containing Simon's red thread was also found.
It was extremely difficult to find it, and what made it even more difficult was that the ball of yarn was tangled and seemed to have no beginning or end. There were a few names on it that Ming Huan was familiar with, but many more that he was not familiar with.
Of course, the most difficult thing was that Lord Demon, as a cat... accidentally got his own ball of red thread and this ball of wool tangled together, making a tangled mess. To make matters worse, Ming Huan didn't know how to tie the red thread. He tried his best to keep the two balls of wool intact, but in the end...
The black cat looked at the messy ball of wool under his claws, and for the first time, the Demon Lord who roamed the world was speechless.
"Your Majesty...how about I help you?" The Shadow Guardian couldn't bear to watch it any longer. Lord Demon was good at everything and had great magical powers, but pulling a ball of yarn was still too difficult for him.
Ming Huan sternly refused: "Such an important matter, no nonsense! Go find Yue Lao and find him alive or dead! Even if he was eaten by a monster, make the monster spit him out!"
The Shadow Guardians worked very efficiently and found the clues in a short while.
There was a tablet computer stuffed in the gap between the sofas in the hall.
The browsing history of the tablet was crystal clear - the last post Yue Lao read was the popular post by the psychologist on the Demon Forum.
A moment later, outside Simon's psychological clinic, a tall man in black clothes walked out of the black fog.
It was dusk at this time, the door of the clinic was locked, Simon was seeing a patient, and the Demon Lord knew his sweetheart's rules, so he could only stand by the window.
The window was open, Ming Huan thought for a moment, and transformed himself into a cat.
Soon, a cat holding a cloth bag climbed onto the windowsill. The cat stretched out its claws, pulled the curtains open a little, and peeked inside.
In the clinic, Simon was still sitting in the armchair, and on the sofa lay a little girl, about sixteen or seventeen years old.
Ming Huan was quite surprised to see that the little girl was surrounded by a faint pink aura.
How come the new matchmaker is actually a little girl!
Forget it, no matter whether it is an old man or a young girl, as long as he can help me tie the red thread, he is a qualified matchmaker.
The black cat lay on the windowsill, waiting silently. When the autumn wind blew, and occasionally the curtains were lifted, the cat could see the enchanting profile of his beloved doctor.
It’s so beautiful, Ming Huan thought silently in his heart, I must let Yue Lao write his name all over my red thread!
Then, Simon, who had a good-looking profile, suddenly had an idea and glanced out the window.
I saw a drooling black cat with a cloth bag in its mouth. The saliva wet the opening of the bag, and I didn’t know what was in the bag.
Although Simon found it hard to accept the tall, burly, and evil Demon Lord, he still liked black cats. So when he saw the beautiful green eyes, the smooth, shiny fur, and the itchy cat claws on the windowsill, he couldn't help but be distracted.
Ever since Xiao Hei suddenly revealed himself to be the Demon Lord, how many days have I not petted a cat? I really miss the time when I held Xiao Hei in my arms and rubbed him hard...
Simon shook his head and repeatedly reminded himself in his heart not to be fooled by the black cat's appearance. It was a monster in estrus that coveted his anus and intestines. Finally, he pulled his mind back and listened to Yue Lao's story.
"So, what's your confusion?" Simon asked, his face slightly red. He was a little distracted just now, so he didn't pay much attention to what the patient said.
But Yue Lao didn't notice the doctor was distracted. Her brows knitted together, and she said in great distress, "So, I finally fell in love with a boy, but I don't know what to do."
Simon was puzzled: "Aren't you the matchmaker?"
Yueqing nodded. That’s right, she was the matchmaker, in charge of the marriages in the world.
So, here comes the question.
She had seen so many love, hate, and passions among infatuated men and resentful women, and her heart was already calm.
But since moving to the human world, perhaps because he was exposed to the worldly life, one day when he was returning home, he was stopped and harassed by a drunk man.
Yueqing originally planned to use magic to get rid of the drunk man, but unexpectedly a boy passing by bravely stepped forward and beat the drunk man away.
That day, Yueqing saw the boy stand up for her and his handsome punches, and she was immediately attracted to him.
After the boy beat the drunk away, he asked, "Are you okay?"
Yueqing shook her head.
Then they went back to their homes.
Perhaps it was a coincidence that the two walked into the same building, took the same elevator, and got out of the elevator together.
There were only two residents on this floor: Yueqing and the high school student and his family.
The boy said: "So you are my neighbor!"
Yueqing nodded in panic and hurried into the room.
Since then, the two have had no contact.
We would meet occasionally, and we would just nod and smile at each other. When the elevator dinged, we would get out of the elevator and go home.
"So, you fell in love with that boy, but you don't even know his name?" Simon was a little surprised.
Yueqing nodded.
Ming Huan, sitting on the windowsill, was wondering, "Has this matchmaker gone mad? He has so many red threads in his house. If he just messes around, wouldn't it be easy to get the boy across the street?"
Yueqing said, "I am the deity in charge of marriage. I know very well that my name is not on the red string on that boy's body."
"Can you write it yourself?" Simon couldn't understand what Yue Lao was struggling with.
The Demon Lord on the windowsill understood: "Maybe he didn't know the other person's name, so he couldn't make a move!" It's okay, I'll do you a small favor. All you have to do is tie a bundle of red thread for me...
Yue Qing sighed softly, "I want him to love me... If he only loves me after I tie the red string, it's not true love... It's no different from those infatuated men and women; but if I don't tie the red string, he won't love me at all... I... Doctor, do you understand what I'm saying?"
Yueqing put her hands into her hair and groaned in pain.
She was so troubled by this that she couldn't work for several days. Marriage was in turmoil these days, but she had no time to care. She was just agonizing over whether or not to use the red string.
She didn't want to use it. She hoped that the boy would love her even without the matchmaker. But she knew very well that it was impossible without the red string.
Yueqing turned her head and looked at Simon.
"So, what's bothering you?" Simon said, "You want him to love you as a person, not just because of the red string..."
Yueqing nodded vigorously.
"This is very interesting. I remember..." Before Simon finished his sentence, the black cat squatting on the windowsill couldn't help but howl.
"Yue Lao, your logic is weird! Why bother with all this? Just find the boy's red string, tie a few hundred knots around it, and it'll be done! It's done!"
The psychologist's important treatment moment was interrupted by the black cat, and Simon could only improvise.
He stood up, opened the window, and carried the black cat in from the windowsill.
Black Cat looked at Simon in bewilderment as he picked her up so casually.
While carrying the cat, Simon said, "It's like some people who often struggle with the dilemmas of: Does my girlfriend like my money or me? Does my husband like my body or my soul? Does my mom like my grades or me as a person?" Simon said, "It's as if the money wasn't earned by her, the body isn't hers, and the grades weren't earned through hard work."
Yueqing was stunned.
After Simon brought the black cat in, he stroked its head and took out some dried fish from his pouch.
The black cat immediately grabbed the dried fish and stuffed it into its mouth.
Oh my god, this is the taste, the taste of happiness, the beloved forbidden meat - feeding myself with delicious dried fish!
The black cat's mouth was stuffed with dried fish and it could no longer make any sound.
Simon patted the remaining dried fish residue in his hand and said, "I never mind whether my cat likes the dried fish or me, because... the dried fish is also bought with my own money. Do you understand?"
Yue Lao seemed to be thinking about something.
Ming Huan stuffed his mouth with dried fish, biting into them blissfully while thinking: I like both...
By the time Ming Huan finished eating a mouthful of dried fish, Yue Lao had already left.
Simon walked her out. She still hadn't fully grasped her situation. Although she had a slight understanding that "the red thread is also a part of me," she still didn't fully understand it, so she would come back next week. After agreeing on the time, frequency, and cost of the treatment with Yue Lao, Simon started to walk back.
On the way back, Simon finally understood. Blackie was cute, adorable, soft, and cuddly, and could be coaxed into submission with just a handful of dried fish. But the Demon Lord himself was untouchable, dangerous, and terrifying, and even the offering of a chrysanthemum would not satisfy his lust.
So, I reluctantly gave it up and went to the pet market to buy a normal black cat as my new pet.
When he thought of this, Simon couldn't help but let out a bitter laugh.
Zen Master Kongxin wanted to sever his desires but couldn't, and Yue Lao was in charge of relationships but was entangled in them—these were all lofty anxieties. And I, on the other hand, was actually worried about being imprisoned by a cat for play. It was so embarrassing to tell anyone about it that I was too embarrassed to even greet anyone!
Soon, Simon's worries became a reality.
Because when he looked up, he saw a man in black, leaning against the door frame of his clinic with his arms folded, smiling at him.
No matter how you look at that smile...it's dangerous.
