The fairy frowned, sensing something was off about her tone. The Lord of the Samsara Dao wore a bitter expression but dared not say anything more.
"Come on!" The fairy called out to Wang Yao again, then turned and walked forward. Wang Yao glanced at her and realized that she wasn't going to catch any culprit at all; she clearly wanted to talk to him in private. He had never had any dealings with her before. What did she want to say to him?
Could it be that this fairy has children or grandchildren who can't find wives and need my help as the matchmaker? There's no need to hide this from people, especially since this place is full of ghosts, so there's even less need to hide it.
Could it be that this fairy has taken a fancy to some married man in Heaven? And needs my matchmaking skills? Damn, judging from the fairy's sneaky appearance, that possibility is very high. Should I help her or not? Wang Yao couldn't help but feel conflicted.
The Old Man of the Moon is supposed to be the matchmaker, not someone who brings together a third party in a relationship. But this fairy has some serious connections, so if I want to help her find a married man, I'll have to open the celestial realm interface. I won't have to bother Caixia anymore.
Damn it, I'm just opening an interface, how could I do something like that? Is there no bottom line left in the God of Marriage? But what if I add a little more merit? At least ten thousand merits... I might end up doing something against my conscience. Anyway, it's just a matter of fate, it's not like anyone's going to die.
Wang Yao was deep in thought when the fairy suddenly turned her head.
"What's wrong with you? Can't I get you to come here? Do I need to bring the Heavenly Emperor's decree?" The fairy maiden glared at Wang Yao.
"Uh... I'm coming, I'm coming..." Wang Yao hurriedly agreed and turned to look at Wuying.
"Don't worry, wait for me to come back. I'll definitely find someone to treat your injuries. And you, Lord Dao, how about we reincarnate this person?"
After instructing Wuying to wait for him, Wang Yao pointed at Qin Suwen, the Dao Master of the Reincarnation Path.
"Let's talk about it after you return safely, okay? There are many rules about being reborn as a human. Let's talk about it after you return safely, okay?" The Lord of the Reincarnation Path said to Wang Yao with a bitter face.
"Um... I don't know about her, but I'm sure she'll come back safely." Wang Yao pointed to the fairy's back, which was almost at the exit of the commercial plaza, and whispered to the Dao Master of the Samsara Path.
"They must all return safely, they must all return safely," the Lord of the Samsara Path said repeatedly with a bitter face.
"I...I won't..." Qin Su hurriedly shook her head. "Brother Wang...you...you be careful."
"I'm fine. You can use this time to think about what kind of reincarnation you want. When I get back, I'll definitely take care of it for you." Wang Yao smiled at Qin Su and turned to chase after the fairy.
He caught up with the fairy in a few steps, but she didn't pay him any attention. Instead, she looked at Hui Shuo, who was almost finished cleaning up, and the group of ghosts who were helping with the treatment.
"Is that monk your companion?" the fairy asked, looking at Hui Shuo.
“Uh…yes…” Wang Yao blinked and answered, not understanding what the fairy meant.
“This monk has Buddhist markings on him. When did you start hanging out with those bald monks?” The fairy frowned as she looked at Wang Yao.
"No, I only visited Yunji Temple, one of the eighteen temples in Yunling. I was almost cheated out of my money by the monks there. I will never have anything to do with monks again. This monk is fake, but his wooden fish is quite skillful. However, that was his own good fortune and has nothing to do with me." Wang Yao hurriedly clarified.
"Forget it, I can't sort out the mess between Buddhism and Taoism anyway, the Heavenly Emperor can worry about that. I'm just giving you a heads-up: since you're an immortal in Heaven, you bear the mark of an immortal. If you continue to have ambiguous relationships with Buddhism, it'll be like a man trying to have his cake and eat it too..."
The fairy maiden spoke softly and slowly.
"No, don't worry, Fairy. Now that I've become an immortal, I definitely won't become a monk. I would rather die than do that," Wang Yao hurriedly said.
He spoke with genuine sincerity. Although being a fake monk was not bad, he had now tasted some sweetness as an immortal and a matchmaker, and was unwilling to easily switch careers again.
Hui Shuo was chanting scriptures with his eyes closed, completely unaware of Wang Yao and the other two passing by. Wang Yao pulled over a ghost who was helping out and gave him a few instructions, which were nothing more than telling Hui Shuo to rest as soon as he was done, and that he would be right back.
The two walked past Hui Shuo and continued forward. The fairy also took out a soul lantern from her Qiankun and lit it, holding it in her hand. She turned her head and saw Wang Yao walking forward with his bare hands, and couldn't help but stare in astonishment.
"This...the ability to find one's way in the underworld is also one of the Old Man of the Moon's skills?" the fairy asked.
Wang Yao was about to complain to her about how the ghosts of the underworld looked down on immortals, but suddenly felt a little embarrassed. He had been busy in the underworld like an idiot for half a day and hadn't even seen a trace of a soul lamp. This fairy maiden had just come down and picked up a soul lamp. If he complained about this, he would only make her laugh at him.
“Uh…it’s not a skill, I just have a natural ability to remember routes,” Wang Yao said to the fairy.
"Remember the way? You've already been to the Underworld Queen's District? You know the way?" The fairy was even more surprised.
"Um... I've been to the Energy Office, so I know most of the people there," Wang Yao replied vaguely.
"Your innate talent is quite useful, almost comparable to a magical art." The fairy clicked her tongue in amazement, raising the lantern in her hand to examine it. "Then... wouldn't I be gilding the lily?"
Seeing that the fairy was about to extinguish the soul lamp in her hand, Wang Yao was extremely anxious. This was a case of one lie leading to another, and he had to quickly come up with a way to fool the fairy into continuing to hold the soul lamp. Otherwise, where would he find the Three-way Center?
"Never mind, I'll just light it. It's quite fun carrying this little lantern. When I was little, my favorite festival was the Lantern Festival. Every household would put out lanterns, and if someone carried a lantern and strolled through the streets, it always felt like some kind of adventure was about to happen. Don't you think so?"
