"Now it seems quite possible, but Hu Mei's explanation to us at the time was that in the midst of a great battle, the priority was to kill the enemy and win. There was no time or convenience to inform us, since once the decapitation army withdrew, the commotion would be too great, and we were afraid that the divine realm would find out, causing all our previous efforts to be in vain," Tongtian replied sullenly.
"But I wonder if Hu Mei's explanation to the Executioner was the same?" Wang Yao turned to look at the Executioner Demon Lord.
"Of course, at that time, the two armies were facing off at Wanghai City. If our army retreated, the Divine Clan army would definitely know. It's not that we were afraid they would actually attack, but if they guessed even a part of Hu Mei's plan because of this, and if Jingwei had other backup plans..."
"Even if my army is still here, what use is it? How did you break through the Decapitation Demon City? When you broke through the city, my army outside the city was quite large, but in the end, I was still captured by the Queen Mother of the West." The Decapitation Demon Lord shook his apple-like body and replied righteously.
"Did Hu Mei explain this to you beforehand, or did she explain it to you afterward?" Wang Yao then asked.
"Is there...is there a difference?" The Decapitation Demon Lord's voice was filled with displeasure.
"Alright, we've asked enough questions. Old Man Yue, don't get bogged down in the details. We have a lot more to do, so let's not waste any more time." At this moment, Laozi interrupted Wang Yao's questions.
"Your Excellency, my question is very important and not just about details. Please tell me the truth, Lord of the Beheading Demon." Wang Yao turned around and cupped his hands in greeting to Laozi.
He did indeed consider this question very important, almost important enough to potentially determine whether the Decapitation Demon Lord was a Shadow Puppet. If the Decapitation Demon Lord was a Shadow Puppet, he would inevitably conceal his relationship with Hu Mei and Saruman, and would therefore most likely choose the second answer.
That is, Hu Mei only gave him the explanation afterward. Would he not have paid attention to the battlefield beforehand? Even Wang Yao could see that Hu Mei had hidden many tricks in the Battle of Qianfan Port. Would the dignified Decapitation Demon Lord not have seen it? Why didn't he arrange for his troops to retreat and take refuge first?
If the Decapitation Demon Lord answered that it was beforehand, then another question arises: didn't he have a way to deceive the opposing divine army for a short time? That's a million-strong army, the accumulated strength of the entire Decapitation Demon Realm over many years. How could the Decapitation Demon Lord be willing to squander them all as cannon fodder?
"What do you mean by 'truthfully'? I've already agreed to go to the Immortal Realm, am I still a prisoner? Are you treating me like a criminal on trial?" The Decapitation Demon Lord was displeased.
Wang Yao felt that the more unwilling he was, the more he resembled a puppet. Just as he was about to open his mouth to press him further, Laozi suddenly raised his voice.
"Old Man of the Moon, I remind you, whether something is important or not is not for you to decide. I will ask you one question now: Do you understand the background and consequences of this war between gods and demons, and the reasons why Hu Mei gave up filling the sea and beheading the two regions?" Laozi asked sternly.
“Um…but…” Wang Yao looked at Laozi in astonishment, completely not understanding why he wouldn’t let him continue asking.
"There are no buts. Now that you know the whole story, I will punish you by making you cast spells to help people find love in the realm of gods and demons and in Golden Horn Bay..." Laozi shouted.
"Marry? How?" Wang Yao was a little confused by Laozi's question.
"How do we get married? You're the matchmaker, yet you're asking me this?" Lao Tzu smiled in astonishment.
"This... we can't just randomly get married, can we? Find a young man for an old lady, a young girl for an old man, or a goddess for a demon?" Wang Yao asked blankly.
"Hmm, that's a good question. Let me tell you, the reason I asked you to arrange marriages between the realms of gods and demons and Golden Horn Bay is because after the war between gods and demons and even the Demon City Sacrifice, the population of the realms of gods and demons and Golden Horn Bay has been severely reduced, and there is a need for a large number of marriages to promote reproduction and restore the population."
"Therefore, there is no need to arrange marriages for gods and demons, or for those old women who are unable to have children," said Laozi.
"Hey! The old lady can't have children, but does that mean the old man can? If you ask me, since the old lady can't have children, the old man shouldn't be given special treatment either!" the Queen Mother of the West shouted angrily from the side.
"I'm talking about serious matters, what are you doing, you old woman, causing trouble?" Laozi was clearly displeased after being interrupted by the Queen Mother of the West.
"You old geezer, what serious business are you talking about? Is not finding a young man for this old woman a serious business? Little Wang, don't listen to this old geezer. I guarantee that as long as you take this old woman as your wife, I will make sure she gives birth to a pearl!" The Queen Mother of the West was also getting angry.
"The Heavenly Court really needs to be reformed. They don't even consider the occasion when they favor men over women. How dare they openly look down on women in front of me? What do you take me for?"
"Yes, Grandma, you might as well stay in the God Realm with me. The Six Realms Women's Alliance that I built in the God Realm keeps those stinky men from even daring to breathe loudly across the street." The God of Land Reclamation added fuel to the fire from the side.
"This... Where have I ever favored men over women? You, the Queen Mother of the West, can guarantee that two or three old women or oysters can give birth to pearls, but now in the entire realm of gods and demons, many young and middle-aged men and women have died or been injured, and there are plenty of old women. How can you possibly manage to cast spells on them all?" Laozi said angrily.
"Whether I'm busy or not is my business. But it's your business to have the Old Man Under the Moon arrange marriages and treat old women differently!" The Queen Mother of the West refused to budge an inch.
"Very well, I won't discriminate between old men and old women. Wang Xian, you can lead the way as you please. If you fail to complete the birthing task, you, the Queen Mother of the West, can go and explain to the various demon lords and god lords." Laozi shook his head in a huff.
"Um..." The gods and demons glanced at Laozi and then at the Queen Mother of the West, wanting to say something, but in the end they all swallowed their words back.
