Chapter 1276: Chapter 421: Announcement
Soon, Gold Star Taibai also arrived.
As did Zhang Daoling and the Pagoda-Bearing King.
Yang Jian was also invited. Although he is a Judicial Deity, he still respects Tianpeng.
Nezha followed Yang Jian and slightly nodded in greeting upon seeing Li Jing.
Li Jing, however, was very enthusiastic and came over to hold Nezha’s hand, chatting with him.
Though Nezha felt a bit awkward, he didn’t pull away, clearly accepting Li Jing to a certain extent.
Their relationship seemed to have improved considerably.
After them, many other celestial immortals arrived, all old acquaintances.
The Tathagata Buddha and Amitabha Buddha also came, and upon their appearance, everyone showed them considerable respect.
These two are Supremes, and since the Buddhist Realm has moved within the Heavenly Realm, the Heavenly Court treats them well for their sacrifices.
Though they lack real power, their strength is undeniable, and no one would disrespect two Supremes.
Originally, Tathagata Buddha held a high status in the Three Realms.
They sat below Sun Wukong, indicating the relative status of both parties.
The Matchmaker Deity also arrived, catching Sun Wukong’s attention. He quickly summoned him over.
“What does the Great Saint need?”
The Matchmaker Deity was somewhat flattered. He was an old acquaintance of Sun Wukong, though not closely connected, and didn’t expect Sun Wukong to call him over actively.
Nowadays, Sun Wukong’s status is incomparable.
The Matchmaker Deity scurried over, excitedly asking, “What can this humble deity do for the Great Saint? Have you taken a fancy to any goddess? Don’t worry, I’ll make sure the red thread is tied well for you.”
In the past, the Matchmaker Deity would never have spoken like this, as it was widely believed that Sun Wukong had no interest in goddesses.
But things are different now; just at Huaguo Mountain, there are two Mistresses, and there’s even a supposed connection with the Queen Mother of the West from Kunlun. He’s thinking that the Great Saint must have taken an interest in a goddess.
“The two mistresses are now at Lord Taiyin’s residence; could it be that brother has taken a liking to Lord Taiyin? She is the number one beauty in the Three Realms, suitable for my brother,” Tianpeng said jokingly.
The Matchmaker Deity suddenly understood and quickly said, “Great Saint, rest assured. Although it’s challenging to matchmake for powers above the Great Heavenly Venerate, this humble deity can still manage it. Leave this to me.”
The Matchmaker Deity patted his chest, assuring Sun Wukong.
“However, please understand, Great Saint, that above Celestial Immortal marriages, matchmaking is just one aspect. If the other party doesn’t agree, even if I bind them, it won’t work, and they’ll break free. I hope the Great Saint understands.”
The Matchmaker Deity explained a bit.
He was worried that if he failed, Sun Wukong would blame him.
At this, Sun Wukong finally reacted, bemused.
“The Matchmaker Deity misunderstood; Old Sun didn’t mean it that way,” Sun Wukong laughed and said.
The Matchmaker Deity was startled—did he guess wrong?
He was puzzled, suspecting it might just be Sun Wukong covering up, not wanting too many people to know.
Then Sun Wukong added, “I’m looking for you to help find a good day. I plan to marry Nu Ba Princess and Lady Dragon of Wealth soon. Can you pick an auspicious time for me, and if possible, organize it for Old Sun, that’d be even better.”
Only then did the Matchmaker Deity realize he had misunderstood.
He chuckled dryly and said, “This is simple. If the Great Saint trusts me, leave it all to this humble deity.”
After speaking, the Matchmaker Deity turned to Yang Jian and said, “Judicial Deity, this humble deity requests permission to descend to the Mortal World to organize the Great Saint’s wedding.”
“Granted,” Yang Jian said directly.
Sun Wukong’s marriage is a significant event.
Let alone the Matchmaker Deity going to the Mortal World; even if he stayed permanently, it would be fine.
Nezha chuckled and said, “You rascal, you’re finally going to give them an explanation. If you delayed any longer, even I wouldn’t stand it.”
Sun Wukong smiled slightly. Only Nezha dared to speak to him like this here.
Anyone else would not dare to speak so boldly.
He wasn’t angry, instead laughing, “I was indeed a bit indecisive before. Since I’ve made the decision, I should give them an explanation. Dragging it on is not what a real man does.”
“Congratulations to the Great Saint!”
The immortals offered their congratulations.
Sun Wukong raised his glass, saying, “Thank you, everyone. Once the wedding date is set, Old Sun will notify you all. I hope everyone will give face and come to Huaguo Mountain to celebrate.”
“Of course, we’ll go.”
“Indeed, we will.”
“We won’t leave until we’re thoroughly drunk.”
The Matchmaker Deity took his leave to make arrangements immediately.
Sun Wukong chatted with everyone for a while before receiving a message from Nu Ba and the others.
He bid farewell and hurried over.
Entering Lord Taiyin’s residence, Sun Wukong saw the three chatting animatedly.
Nu Ba’s bright eyes held laughter as she said to Sun Wukong, “Great Saint, Taiyin has decided to meet her parents today. Will you accompany her on this journey?”
Sun Wukong was slightly taken aback, but since Changxi requested it, he had no objections.
“No problem, Old Sun will accompany her. They won’t dare to bully the Star Lord. If they are rude, Old Sun will certainly not spare them,” Sun Wukong said proudly.
Nu Ba smiled and playfully said, “Great Saint, what are you saying? Emperor Jun and Changxi are Taiyin’s parents. Since they initiated the reunion, they naturally won’t trouble her. We’re just worried that the Tenth Son of the Golden Crow might cause trouble. We hope Taiyin doesn’t get hurt.”
Sun Wukong agreed.
“The Tenth Son of the Golden Crow is indeed troublesome. Now that you mention it, it’s necessary to guard against him. I’ll accompany Taiyin on this journey.”
“Thank you, Great Saint.”
Taiyin expressed her gratitude.
She’s naturally willing to reunite with her parents.
But if the Tenth Son of the Golden Crow were to harm her, it wouldn’t be something Taiyin Star Lord could accept.
With Sun Wukong accompanying her, her safety was assured.
“We shouldn’t delay. Let’s set off now. Nu Ba, Dragon Girl, return to Huaguo Mountain and prepare. The Matchmaker Deity has already gone to the Mortal World to organize our wedding,” Sun Wukong instructed.
Nu Ba and Lady Dragon of Wealth were surprised.
They were delighted, having not expected Sun Wukong to handle things so quickly. They thought they’d have to wait until the next trip to the heavens.
Taiyin was slightly taken aback and then offered her congratulations to the two.
“Finally, you’ve both achieved your wishes. Congratulations to you two.”
Nu Ba and Lady Dragon of Wealth were overjoyed and a bit shy.
Sun Wukong was magnanimous, once he made a decision, he was open about it.
“Thank you, Star Lord. Be sure to join us for the celebration,” Sun Wukong laughed and said.
Taiyin sighed, “Great Saint, marrying my two sisters is a blessing indeed. In the Three Realms, few are worthy of my two sisters.”
Sun Wukong’s expression was peculiar; he wanted to ask Taiyin Star Lord how she became so familiar with Nu Ba and them, having just had their first proper conversation?
Women are indeed strange creatures.
