CHAPTER 784: MODIFIED TEXT: CHAPTER 712, CHECKING MARRIAGE TIES

Within the Marriage Hall, Daji and Bai Jin were seated under a pavilion, beside which grew crystal trees radiating a hazy luster, illuminating the surroundings with a unique beauty. Legend has it that these crystal trees are unique to the Taiyin Star, transformed from the eyelashes of Pangu.

Bai Jin set the teacup down and asked, "May I know where the Holy Mother is?"

Daji replied with a light chuckle, "The Emperor is not in luck; the Holy Mother has just left the Heavenly Court not long ago."

"Do you know where the Holy Mother went?"

"The Holy Mother didn’t say, and we didn’t dare to ask."

A thought flashed through Bai Jin’s mind; could it be that she was summoned back by Nuwa? Nuwa is in seclusion, but why would she need to call back Lady Yue Lao? What exactly is this seclusion about?

"May I ask what brings the Emperor here? The Holy Mother mentioned, the Emperor is not an outsider, and she instructed me to assist the Emperor with all my might."

"I’d like matchmaker to help me check on someone’s marriage destiny."

Curious, Daji asked, "Oh~ May I know who it is that compels the Emperor to inquire personally?"

"Yang Chan!"

"Princess Yang Chan?" Daji exclaimed in surprise.

Bai Jin nodded.

A series of thoughts went through Daji’s mind. Why would the Emperor inquire into Princess Yang Chan’s marriage destiny? Could it be that the Emperor has taken a fancy to Princess Yang Chan? A fire of gossip blazed in her heart.

Daji rose to her feet, gestured with her hand and said softly, "Please follow me, Emperor!"

"Thank you, matchmaker~"

Bai Jin followed Daji towards the grand hall, passing through several palace buildings before quickly arriving at a grand hall with three characters written on it: Marriage Hall.

Daji pushed the doors open and a dazzling Star River greeted their eyes. Both of them stepped into the grand hall, walking amidst the cosmos of the Star River.

In the vast expanse of the Star River, two huge Star Vortexes faced each other from afar. At the heart of each vortex was a shining pearl, bright and splendid.

The center of one Star Vortex had countless male figures flashing through: young men, middle-aged men, the elderly, humans, beasts, and birds.

The other Star Vortex similarly had innumerable female figures flashing through: young women, middle-aged women, the elderly, humans, beasts, and birds.

At the heart of the two Star Vortexes, there was a Red Embroidery Ball, with countless red threads emanating from it, linking to the centers of both Vortexes.

"Sister~ why have you come?" A cheerful voice rang out.

A Fairy dressed in red flew out from the center of the vortex towards them, landing in front of Bai Jin.

The Nine-headed Chicken Spirit bowed respectfully, saying joyfully, "Jiucai pays respect to the Emperor!"

Bai Jin nodded, smiling, "How does it feel to be here?"

The Nine-headed Chicken Spirit replied excitedly, "It’s wonderful! The Holy Mother is also very kind to us. There is no scheming or struggling here, the work is easy, and we also get respect when we go out. Various forces don’t dare to provoke us; it’s completely different from before!"

"Heh heh~ as long as you’re happy. I would have felt a bit guilty if you disliked it, after all, it was I who had you become matchmakers."

"Thank you, Emperor~ We are all very happy under the Holy Mother’s protection," the Nine-headed Chicken Spirit bowed again.

Daji said with a smile, "Jiucai, the Emperor is not an outsider, there is no need for such formality."

The Nine-headed Chicken Spirit stood up and asked curiously, "Sister, what brings you to the Marriage Space? Is there something you need?"

Daji pondered for a moment before saying, "Jiucai, please step outside for a bit! The Emperor’s matters must remain confidential."

"Alright, I’ll be standing guard outside for you."

Without hesitation, the Nine-headed Chicken Spirit flew outwards. Matters involving a Primordial Great Power like the Emperor sure entail great karma, and it’s better not to know. Although under the protection of the Holy Mother, one would not fear ordinary karmic consequences, Emperor Gouchen is no ordinary being.

Within the expanse of the starry sky, only Bai Jin and Daji remained.

"Bring forth Princess Yang Chan’s marriage destiny line!"

Daji extended a finger toward the feminine Star Swirl, the vast Star Swirl accelerated its rotation, and the towering figure of Yang Chan slowly rose from within the Star Swirl, suspended above it.

From the chest of Yang Chan’s phantom, a red line extended, reaching toward another Star Swirl, and just as it was about to touch the Star Swirl, the red line suddenly stopped and trembled uncontrollably.

Daji smiled and said, "Emperor, this indicates that Princess Yang Chan has no marriage destiny. This is normal, as only a very few among the Immortal Gods have marriage destinies."

No sooner had the sound of her voice faded, than a red light suddenly flowed along the marriage destiny red line, shooting forcefully into the vortex. Within the vortex, the image of a shabby scholar emerged, grinning foolishly.

Daji exclaimed in surprise, "How... how is this possible?"

Bai Jin quickly asked, "What’s the situation now?"

Daji hesitated before saying, "This... This suggests that Princess Yang Chan forcibly formed a connection with a marriage destiny, but why would this happen?"

Bai Jin murmured with unease, Princess Yang Chan forcibly formed a connection with a marriage destiny, and Nuwa is not emerging from her seclusion. This situation is not quite as I expected. Hmm~ After my clever brain ponders, there must be a conspiracy here, a big problem.

The two phantoms sank back into the Star Swirl, and the Star Swirl returned to normal.

Daji snapped back to reality, shouting, "This is bad!"

"What’s wrong?"

"The object of Princess Yang Chan’s marriage destiny is a mortal. If this continues, it will be very dangerous," Daji said anxiously.

"Where’s the danger?"

Daji said anxiously, "Emperor, you must be joking.

It’s like seeing Princess Yaoji from the past. What if she repeats Princess Yaoji’s mistakes? The entire Heavenly Court will be disturbed by this, even the Heavenly Emperor Your Majesty might be affected, and once the Heavenly Emperor is injured, it will bring instability to the Three Realms!

Emperor, you must stop Princess Yang Chan."

Bai Jin said with a chuckle, "I didn’t expect you to be so enlightened."

"I am now a God in the Heavenly Court, naturally I must consider its interests. Emperor, please, no more joking, there could be a serious issue at hand."

Bai Jin’s smile faded, and he said calmly, "Hmm, it is indeed for this matter that I came here, exactly as I anticipated."

"Emperor, do you already have a plan? That’s good, that’s good!" Daji heaved a sigh of relief.

Bai Jin’s gaze flickered as he looked at the two enormous Star Swirls and suddenly thought of a question, Should I not also have a Daoist couple? A sense of curiosity, along with an inexplicable anticipation, rose within him.

"Daji, could I trouble you with one more thing?"

"Emperor, please tell me!"

Bai Jin said somewhat sheepishly, "That is, could you help me see my marriage destiny line?"

Daji’s face took on a strange expression.

"What’s wrong? Is there a problem?"

"No, there’s not!"

Daji shook her head repeatedly, stretching out a hand to the Star Swirl, as the Star Swirl spun rapidly. A handsome youth wearing a Daoist robe appeared, his face bearing a pure and honest smile.

Bai Jin looked at his own phantom expectantly, Who will my marriage destiny be? I’m very excited!

A marriage destiny line extended from the projection of Bai Jin, spreading toward another feminine Star Swirl, coming close to the Star Swirl, it suddenly stopped, flickering uncertainly in mid-air, as if it might become ethereal at any moment.

Inside the other Star Swirl, the figure of a Fairy slowly emerged, first Yun Xiao, then it changed to Shi Ji, then Gu Liang, followed by Chang’e, Nine Heavens Mysterious Woman, Wudang Saint, and so on.
