"However, on the other hand, Lord Wang, if I were to avert this deadly marriage for you, but you resolutely refuse to acknowledge it, do you believe that even if the ghost from the seventh floor were gone, I could still rekindle your marriage with him?" Wang Yao smiled slightly.
“You mean…” Fairy looked at Wang Yao in astonishment.
“Indeed, Lord Wuguan misses his wife. Besides playing a tune on the zither every year on the anniversary of her death, I believe he must have other ways of showing his longing for his wife every day. There is definitely one of these ways that we believe he would not be able to continue if the marriage were to be severed.”
“Although we believe that the Five Senses King cannot do it, if you, sir, are a person of such unwavering will, and can persist in doing so and still refuse to admit it, then I, Wang Yao, will accept this defeat! However, I must remind you that you will have no hope of breaking this deadly marriage in the future,” Wang Yao said loudly.
“Uh…” King Wuguan was stunned when he heard Wang Yao’s words. He was about to say something when the eunuch Wei Gonggong suddenly cried out anxiously.
"Your Highness, you can't tell! You must never tell!"
"What can I say? Why can't I say it?" The fairy looked at Eunuch Wei in astonishment.
“I know what I'm doing, you don't need to say more.” King Wuguan nodded to Eunuch Wei, then looked at Wang Yao. “You've been talking about what you'll do if you can break my dead marriage, but you haven't answered me yet: what will you do if you can't break my dead marriage?”
"What do you think we should do?" Wang Yao asked.
“My demands are not high.” King Wuguan pondered for a moment and then said slowly. “To be honest, this ill-fated marriage of mine is a matter of bad luck. It is indeed asking too much of you to come to me, so my demands are very simple.”
"Aren't you, the Matchmaker, supposed to be the one who arranges marriages? If you can't resolve my dead marriage, then please arrange a marriage for Xi Fu as well. As for the partner, just choose a male ghost from the seventh floor. Is that too much to ask?" King Five Senses looked at Wang Yao and said with a half-smile.
"If Xi Fu is sent to the Execution Platform by the Heavenly Emperor, or if his lifespan has ended, please come to our Underworld again and, as before, bring another male ghost down from the seventh floor for Xi Fu. This request shouldn't be too difficult, right?"
"If you are unwilling to hold my hand, or if you lie to me and say you are holding my hand but you are not, then I ask the fairy to be my witness. Then I would like to trouble the Old Man of the Moon to give up his immortal body and come to our underworld to keep me company. Don't worry, I guarantee that you will live comfortably in the underworld and never want to be reincarnated again."
By the end, the Five Senses King's tone had become utterly ferocious.
His request sounded like he was just asking Wang Yao to arrange a marriage, which, as he himself said, seemed neither excessive nor difficult. But it was obvious that the male ghost who was arranged to marry Xi Fu would surely be reduced to ashes.
He wanted Xi Fuyong to suffer the same bitterness as him forever.
In particular, the fact that Xi Fu's marriage would continue even after he died and went to the underworld suddenly reminded Wang Yao that while Xi Fu could escape the hatred of the Five Statue King in the celestial realm, he would eventually have to enter the underworld. Once he became a ghost in the underworld, he would be under the jurisdiction of Yama, the King of Hell.
At that time, how the Five Officials King would deal with Xi Fu would be entirely up to him. To wipe him out would be too lenient. The Five Officials King had probably already planned out various ways to deal with Xi Fu, and having Wang Yao arrange a marriage for Xi Fu was just one of those methods.
As for what the Five Senses King said at the end, asking Wang Yao to go to the underworld to keep him company, that was just a threat. It's obvious that Wang Yao would never hand himself over to these Yama Kings.
Wang Yao thought to himself, "It seems I have to find a way to adjust Xi Fu's fate. I can't let him fall into the hands of this King of Hell."
"It's alright, it's just a matter of setting up a couple of marriages. I don't even know if my ex has a family. Even if he does, it's just another ghost marriage, nothing serious..." Wang Yao laughed loudly.
"Hey! What do you mean by 'arranging two marriages'? Don't misunderstand, he wants Xi Fu to be like him..."
Seeing that Wang Yao seemed to have agreed without much thought, the fairy maiden knew about Wang Yao's relationship with Xi Fu. Wang Yao's request to break off Lü Xian's marriage was to visit Xi Fu in the Heavenly Prison. How could he agree to let Xi Fu suffer that punishment?
Fearing that Wang Yao might not have understood the meaning behind the Five Statues King's words, she hurriedly reminded him. The Five Statues King stood there with a cold smile, but did not interrupt the fairy maiden.
"It's alright. What Your Highness said is all on the premise that I can't break his ill-fated marriage. If I could break it for him, wouldn't I be free from the need to arrange a marriage for Xi Fu?"
“Since I have agreed to this matter, I will naturally help the prince resolve his marriage. So even if I can’t resolve the marriage, let alone just help Xi Fu find a partner, I would still agree to chop off my head and give it to him. It’s an impossible thing, so why wouldn’t I agree?” Wang Yao said with a smile.
"What I care about most is how Your Highness can prove whether your marriage has been dissolved. This proof must be something that everyone can see with their own eyes and make a judgment, just as I said. It cannot be based on Your Highness's own feelings." Wang Yao said, looking at the Five-Character King.
"Don't be impatient. Since you have agreed to my conditions, I certainly have a way to prove it. Fairy Maiden, I have one last request." King Wuguan nodded, but turned to look at Fairy Maiden.
"I request that my agreement with Lord Yue Lao be signed through a celestial contract, which is fair to both parties. The guarantor will have to be a fairy," said King Wu Guan.
"Heavenly Contract Guarantee? How could you even think of that? It's just a small matter, why make such a fuss? I can't do something like that." The fairy shook her head repeatedly upon hearing this.
