"What did you say? You...you are the God of Love?" A clear voice rang out. Wang Yao turned his head and saw that it was the girl who filled the sea. She was still holding a candied hawthorn and sitting in the chair staring at him in disbelief.
"Damn it, eating candied hawthorns every day, aren't they afraid of getting diabetes?" Wang Yao smiled and nodded at the God of Land Reclamation, secretly cursing in his heart.
"You...you really are the Matchmaker? The one who doesn't do anything productive and just randomly arranges marriages for people all day long?" The Lord of Filling the Sea seemed not to understand Wang Yao's actions and continued to question him.
“Not bad.” Wang Yao nodded. He could tell from the Sea-Filling God’s tone that he was very unfriendly. The Heavenly Aunt standing behind the Sea-Filling God was looking at him with a very strange expression. He secretly thought that something was wrong, but he still couldn’t help but confirm the Sea-Filling God’s doubts.
"Brother Hou Yi, I've made a mistake. I hereby formally announce that I am abandoning my application to hold this hearing. I... I'll kill the Old Man of the Moon first..."
The Sea-Filling God jumped up from his chair, shouting, and a bright red fruit from his candied hawthorn skewer shot towards Wang Yao's face.
The incident happened so suddenly that Wang Yao didn't even have a chance to react. He watched helplessly as the fruit was already in front of him, but unexpectedly, a scarlet strip of meat suddenly rolled over from the side and caught the red fruit at the tip of Wang Yao's nose.
Wang Yao discovered that the one who made the move was sitting on the right side of the room. This person, like the Sun-Shooting God, was also shirtless, but he had no head. His shoulders were bald, with nothing growing on them, and the fleshy strip was protruding from his navel.
The meat strip wrapped around the red berries and then shrank back in a flash. Wang Yao saw the guy's belly button suddenly open, revealing a row of white teeth. He was chewing the red berries with a crunching sound, without even spitting out the pits. He finished them off in no time.
"Wait a minute, Lord Tianhai! This is not the same Yue Lao as the other Yue Lao. Don't kill the wrong immortal!" At this moment, a voice came from the screen behind everyone. Wang Yao looked in the direction of the voice and recognized the person. It was none other than Marshal Yue Fei.
The girl was blocked by the headless monster, and one of her fruits was gone. She was about to lash out when she heard Yue Fei's shout. She hesitated and stopped, looking at Wang Yao with suspicion.
"That's right, what was the old man called again? He... he was a grumpy old man, and you... what kind of old man are you?" the girl asked in confusion.
“Um… my ex was named Xi Fu, and he… has passed away.” Wang Yao cursed inwardly. Sure enough, it was that Xi Fu guy who caused all this trouble, almost costing him his life again for no reason.
"So, you're the matchmaker after all?" The girl's voice turned cold again.
“Jingwei, let’s not bring up the past. Back then, it was just a maid under your command who suffered a little injustice, and you took away the Old Man of the Moon’s authority in the divine realm. Now that Xi Fu is dead, although he still holds the title of Old Man of the Moon, you can’t possibly kill all the previous Old Men of the Moon in the Heavenly Court, can you?”
"You must understand that there are reasons why the Heavenly Court established the position of the Matchmaker; the divine realm must tolerate the existence of this position. Furthermore, this hearing is not a trivial matter; how can we simply hold it or not hold it as we please?"
"Today's hearing will only address the grudges between this immortal and my divine realm; nothing else will be discussed. Please be patient and wait for the hearing results before making any further plans," the Sun-Shooting God said to the girl in a deep voice.
"Um... I'm not the matchmaker anymore..." Wang Yao quickly tried to salvage the situation.
"Oh?" Everyone on the screen in the room was quite surprised to hear Wang Yao's words.
So Wang Yao went on and on, explaining in detail to everyone present how he had been stripped of his position as the Matchmaker and forced to participate in the God and Demon Forging.
"Why didn't you say so earlier? You made me waste a candied hawthorn." Hearing that Wang Yao wasn't the matchmaker, the girl's expression finally returned to calm. She muttered a scolding tone to herself as she jumped back to her seat.
"Hmm... The entanglement between the Heavenly Court and the Ocean Realm has nothing to do with my divine realm. Although we are concerned about the Heavenly Court's behavior... Hmph..." The Sun-Shooting God Lord shook his head and sneered twice, seemingly disdainful. Then, his eyes gleamed again as he stared at Wang Yao once more.
"According to the Lord of Reclaiming the Sea, the Forge Master Wang Yao reported to her that the Parasitic Demon Realm had gathered many Mahayana cultivators, using the attack on the Great Swamp Divine Realm as a pretext to secretly gather all its forces and join forces with the Heavenly Demon Realm to attack my Sun-Shooting Divine Realm."
"Lord of the Sea Reclamation, do you still insist that this information was reported to you by the Forge Master, the former Matchmaker Wang Yao?" The big man seemed to be asking the Lord of the Sea Reclamation a question, but his eyes were always fixed on Wang Yao.
"Yes," the girl replied simply.
"The Forger, we want to know how you obtained this information?" the burly man immediately asked Wang Yao.
"Um...that..." Wang Yao blinked twice. It was impossible for him to say that he had just guessed. He could only make up a story that he was captured in the City of Eternal Night, and that the demon Hu Mei and a foreign god surnamed Sa were chatting idly next to him, which he overheard.
"It's quite strange that the Mahayana cultivators of the demon realm are so careless," said a deity sitting in a chair, his body seemingly shrouded in black mist, expressing great skepticism about the authenticity of the information Wang Yao claimed to have.
“Lord of the Great Swamp God, according to the Heavenly Court’s documents, the demon Hu Mei has indeed submitted to the Ocean God. They are unaware of the special communication channel between Wang Yao and the Lord of Reclaiming the Sea. Furthermore, given that this Immortal Wang is of low cultivation level, it is possible that they discussed matters in front of a low-ranking prisoner.”
This was said by a man dressed as a scholar on the screen behind everyone.
“Yes, yes, this sir is right. Back then…” Upon seeing this, Wang Yao hurriedly began to recount his experiences in the Underworld and the Demon Realm. This was exactly what the Sun-Shooting God Lord had asked him to say, but the Sea-Filling God Lord had interrupted him. Now, he quickly added another paragraph.
