Wang Yao, in terms of both appearance and cultivation level, showed nothing particularly special. Why would the wandering cavalry risk the grave offense of disobeying the divine lord to befriend him? This was truly a bizarre matter, something the immortals could never comprehend.
"Hey Wang, if you have some forging secrets you don't want to share with us, I can understand. But you insist on spouting lies that insult the intelligence of immortals. I have to despise you." Feng Huan was the first to express great indignation towards Wang Yao.
"What's wrong? I'm telling the truth! I've only encountered two scouts so far, namely General Pei Yuanqing and General Shan. Both of them are my friends. I met General Pei when I was forging. He tried to kill me twice, but he didn't kill me the second time because General Shan persuaded him to stop."
“He’s Lao Dan’s lackey. Lao Dan and I are old acquaintances. When I was a matchmaker, I came to the God Realm on official business. We were old friends and got along quite well. We were almost ready to chop off a chicken’s head and drink blood wine, and become sworn brothers,” Wang Yao said, blinking his eyes.
If you're going to put on a show, you have to make it believable.
"Shan Xiongxin? That's the commander of the cavalry! You and he are old acquaintances? We know you went to the underworld and the demon realm when you were the matchmaker, but... when did you... when did you come to the realm of gods?" Li Shishi asked with a frown and doubt.
"Alas, you all don't know this. From the tenth floor to the seventeenth floor of the Underworld, there is a passage that passes through Wuling Pass in the God Realm. When I was undergoing tribulation in the Underworld, I walked this path and briefly visited the God Realm." This was indeed the truth, but Wang Yao's tone changed afterward.
"So I'm buddies with many big shots in the divine realm, such as Marshal Yue Fei, Yang Zaixing, Gao Chong, Lao Shan, that is, Shan... Shan Xiongxin, as well as the Lord of Filling the Sea, the Lord of Shooting the Sun, and the Lord of Fighting the Heavens. We used to chat and joke around together, discussing the gains and losses of the policies of the Six Realms of Heaven."
"Back then, General Pei was just a little kid, and we didn't even play with him. I never expected that I would suffer a loss in this trial and be killed by him. This is a really deep lesson. When making friends, you have to be fair to everyone, regardless of age or status. Otherwise, you never know when you will suffer retribution."
Wang Yao sighed.
His words left the immortals stunned and dumbfounded. This former matchmaker was really too wild. He had such extensive connections in the divine realm that he had even reached the God Lord. How could this kid's attempt to forge a god and demon be unsuccessful?
“Fine, even if you have a wide circle of friends in the God Realm, what about the Demon Realm? Do you have a bunch of Demon Lord friends there too?” Feng Huan was still skeptical of Wang Yao’s words and asked unconvinced.
"I only briefly passed through the God Realm, how could I have had the chance to get to know the Demon Lord?" Wang Yao shook his head. Feng Huan breathed a sigh of relief and was about to question Wang Yao again, but Wang Yao's next words immediately shut him up.
“However, I also have friends in the Demon Realm. Um… there used to be a security chief named Li Kui at the Nantianmen Customs Administration. Do you know him?” Wang Yao asked.
"Li Kui? I've heard of him. I heard his fate in Heaven is quite poor." Xiao Huan frowned and looked at Li Shishi. "Aren't you also from the South Heavenly Gate Customs Administration? You should know about this immortal, right?"
"How could he have a bad affinity for immortality? That Li Kui has a terrible reputation; he's not a good immortal at all," Li Shishi said softly, shaking her head.
"What?"
"What's going on?" The other two fairies stared wide-eyed at Li Shishi, clearly most interested in her conduct.
“When he worked at the Administration Bureau, he loved to harass the fairies there. In my past life, I had some dealings with his older brother, so he was somewhat respectful to me. But almost all the other fairies in the bureau were humiliated by him to his face. One of my sisters even cried because of him,” Li Shishi whispered.
"How is that possible? That's a Heavenly Court agency! Where's your director? Doesn't he handle such matters?" The two fairies stared at Li Shishi and asked repeatedly.
“How can you deal with this kind of thing? That guy only talks and doesn’t fight. If you don’t argue with him, he’ll keep humiliating you with those dirty words and crazy talk. If you do argue with him, he’ll pretend to be crazy and say that he’s a brute and that what he says will cause the other person to misunderstand.”
“Some of the sisters went to complain to the bureau chief, but in the end, nothing came of it. They even got a good scolding from the bureau chief, who just said that the guy was a big brute. Why did you have to provoke him? You ended up feeling ashamed and had no choice but to swallow your pride and suffer in silence,” Li Shishi said.
"Oh dear, why is this happening?"
"That Li Kui really has a lot of nerve! Shishi, your working environment must be terrible!" Xiao Chan and the other two were indignant after hearing Li Shishi's words. The fairy holding the pipa expressed strong dissatisfaction with the Nantianmen Customs Administration.
"Why do you all act like you've just become immortals? What's so strange about that in Heaven? Li Kui is just a section chief, and he and the fairy in the bureau are just a little flirtatious, what's wrong with that?"
"How many of those high-ranking officials in Heaven, above the bureau level, don't have mistresses in their workplaces? Some of their subordinate fairies even take the initiative to throw themselves at them. Take Director Yang of the Heavenly Education Bureau, for example. If she hadn't had an affair with the Heavenly Emperor, how could she have been promoted so quickly?"
Feng Huan, who was standing to the side, became unhappy and casually uttered a piece of news that left Wang Yao speechless.
"Feng Huan, don't talk nonsense! How dare you spread rumors about the Heavenly Emperor and Director Yang? Be careful, or the Heavenly Inspector General will question you about slandering and damaging the leader's image!" Li Shishi's expression changed, and she hurriedly reprimanded Feng Huan.
"And you even slandered and damaged the image of the leader? It's all over the Heavenly Court. Once, the Heavenly Emperor said he was going to inspect the Zuowang Cliff in the Wilderness Domain of Shangqing Immortal City. It is said that Director Yang moved into the Zuowang Immortal Palace on Zuowang Cliff a day in advance."
