CHAPTER 785: CHAPTER 713, MISSING ONE’S OWN MARRIAGE FATE

Bai Jin asked in confusion, "What, what’s going on here?"

Daji replied with a weird expression, "Your Majesty, this situation means that you have a very good foundation for a marriage destiny. As long as you put in a bit of effort, any of the fairies and goddesses that appeared could potentially become your true marriage destiny and unite with you as Daoist couples.

However, due to some personal reasons of your own, none of these fated relationships came to fruition, and now the marriage destiny threads are broken."

Bai Jin exclaimed in shock, "My own reasons? How could that be?"

"Has Senior Brother ever taken the initiative to get close?"

Bai Jin thought for a moment, then immediately nodded and said, "Of course, I have. I invited Senior Sister Wudang to have a meal before."

"And then?"

"After the meal, Senior Sister Wudang actually wanted to discuss the Tao with my Primordial Spirit, which instantly scared me off. I’ve always been most afraid of discussing the Tao."

"Uh~ Is there anything else?"

"Some time ago, I sent Chang’e Fairy two jars of fine tea and asked her to teach me the skill of refining Immortal Dresses, enduring days and nights of hard learning."

"And then?"

"It was quite normal at first, but then one day, out of the blue, Chang’e Fairy asked me for a reward.

I was originally willing to give her some money, but to my surprise, she didn’t want money. Instead, she wanted me to agree to three conditions, to help her with three tasks in the future."

"What did Your Majesty do?"

"At the time, Chang’e got a stern lecture from me. Just for teaching me to refine an Immortal Dress, she wanted my three promises; where in the Three Realms could there be such a good deal?!"

"Uh~ Your Majesty is truly wise!"

"That’s natural.

Yun Xiao asked me to teach her cooking, but she was too clumsy and couldn’t learn no matter how I taught her. Later, I told her to go learn some fundamental skills from the Food God first. I don’t know how she’s doing now!"

Daji said solemnly, "Your Majesty, I’m convinced now, it’s because of you."

"What do you mean it’s because of me? Yun Xiao and Shi Ji might be okay, but what’s with Chang’e and the Nine Heavens Mysterious Woman? I’m not even familiar with them!"

Bai Jin’s eyes were filled with confusion. Is this really my marriage destiny? Why is it so messy?

"Daji, tell me the truth, did you mess up my marriage destiny thread?"

"Your Majesty, your marriage destiny is determined by Heaven, and I, as a mere deity, have no right to interfere with your marriage destiny."

"So what should I do now?"

Daji replied with a strange look, "Your Majesty, concerning the matter of marriage destiny, ’marriage’ is predestined by Heaven, and ’destiny’ depends on human relations. Once the opportunity passes, the marriage destiny thread breaks, and sometimes, if missed once, it could be missed for an Infinite Calamity, never to be possible again."

Bai Jin said with some distress, "So you mean, my marriage destiny is gone? And so is my delicate little Daoist couple?"

Daji nodded and said in a low voice, "Your Majesty, please take solace."

"Sigh~" Bai Jin scratched his head and said helplessly, "How can this be? Is Nuwa trying to trouble me?"

Daji pondered for a moment then said softly, "To inform Your Majesty, Nuwa did have a moment of great anger in the past and ordered me to sever your marriage destiny thread. But when the small deity arrived here, I found out that your marriage destiny had already been perfectly missed by you."

Bai Jin speechless, who in the Primordial World could perfectly miss their own marriage destiny? And that person is me.

"Your Majesty~ Your Majesty, what’s wrong?" Daji called out softly a couple of times.

Bai Jin came back to his senses and lamented, "Sigh~ what kind of sin have I committed? To actually have my Heaven-ordained marriage destiny severed by Nuwa, there’s nothing more sorrowful in this world than this: destined to meet yet not recognize each other, recognize each other yet not know one another."

Daji hurriedly explained, "Your Majesty, I did not sever your marriage destiny thread. When I looked at it, it had already broken on its own, please don’t falsely accuse me."

Bai Jin’s eyes showed ferocity as he said, "No, you did!"

"I~" Daji opened her mouth.

"You must remember, it is you who severed my marriage destiny, keeping me from finding my Daoist couple. You must say this to everyone."

Daji’s heart stirred, immediately understanding Bai Jin’s intention, she covered her mouth to giggle and said: "I understand. Yes, it was I who cut the Emperor’s marriage destiny, that’s why the Emperor hasn’t found a Daoist couple. It has absolutely nothing to do with the Emperor himself."

Bai Jin nodded slightly with satisfaction and said: "A promising child indeed~ Next time, I’ll bring you some tasty treats."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Bai Jin and Daji walked outside. After stepping out of the Marriage Hall, Bai Jin did not forget to instruct: "Make sure to spread the word quickly!"

"Rest assured, Your Majesty!" Daji replied with a smile.

Only then did Bai Jin leave contentedly.

Meanwhile, in Liu Family Village in the Lower Realm, sat a thatched hut adorned with bright red ’happiness’ characters and lit with red candles.

Yang Chan, dressed in bridal attire and donning a red veil, married Liu Yanchang.

After paying respects to Heaven and Earth, Liu Yanchang lifted the red veil and excitedly said: "My wife, you are so beautiful~ Let’s enter the bridal chamber now!" He reached out to pull Yang Chan.

Yang Chan parted her cherry lips and exhaled a fragrant breath. Liu Yanchang immediately stopped, walked hazily towards the inner room with a silly smile, and straightforwardly lay down on the bed.

Yang Chan slowly walked to the bedside, looked at Liu Yanchang lying on the bed and calmly said: "You were destined to live a life of poverty and die from hunger and cold. Now I’m giving you a wonderful dream, letting you live out the rest of your life happily, that’s the least I can do for you."

She reached out and grabbed towards Liu Yanchang.

"Hehe~ My wife~" Liu Yanchang wriggled and let out two silly laughs.

Little white specks of light flew out from Liu Yanchang’s body and merged into Yang Chan’s.

Yang Chan withdrew her hand, touched her belly, her expression complicated, wondering if she could ever have a child? She turned and left.

...

In the brand new Great Leiyin Temple, numerous Buddha Bodhisattvas gathered.

Above the main seat, the Twelve-Grade Golden Lotus slowly rotated, and a broad shadow emerged above it, solidifying into The Buddha.

All Buddha Bodhisattvas clasped their palms together and respectfully greeted: "We pay homage to our master Tathagata~"

The Buddha nodded slightly, and the many Buddha Bodhisattvas stood up.

The Buddha of Tranquil Light and Joy hurriedly asked: "Buddha, what did the Saint say?"

The Buddha’s voice, majestic and vast, resounded: "The Saint expressed strong dissatisfaction with Bai Jin’s repeated interference in the Sutra Taker’s affairs, scolded him thoroughly, and ordered him to meditate and practice in seclusion."

"Haha~ It should have been so!"

"The Saint is also dissatisfied with Bai Jin; in my opinion, he should have been scolded long ago."

"Scolding is too light; he should be punished severely."

Guanyin Bodhisattva asked: "Buddha, just a scolding?

This time, our Buddhism suffered heavy losses, the news of our Buddhism’s defeat against the Judicial Celestial is everywhere in the Three Realms Mall, and half of Jin Chanzi’s Dao Fruit was taken by his daughter. Even after obtaining the scriptures, Jin Chanzi will be half-crippled. How could such a heinous act by Emperor Gouchen be addressed with merely a scolding?"

The Buddha’s expression remained calm, surveying the Buddhas below and smilingly said: "The Buddha Sect is vast, guiding all to salvation. The Buddha Sect is compassionate and does not coerce.

Bai Jin is the Senior Disciple of the Outer Door of the Eastern Mystic Sect, and also a Heavenly Court Emperor. Although I am just, I do not wish to coerce too much, lest the Mystic Sect lose all face, remember to show mercy where you can."

"Haha~ Exactly, just scolding him is enough, to save the Saint from losing face."

"In the past, Bai Jin relied on the Saint’s favor, was arrogant and despised the heavenly Immortal Gods. Now that the Buddha stands before the Saint and scolds him, he must feel completely humiliated. This is truly satisfying."

"The Buddha is truly magnanimous!"

"The Buddha did the right thing. We must respect the Saint’s face."

The Buddha Bodhisattvas below discussed excitedly, finally having won over Bai Jin once.

The Buddha smiled as he looked down; as for what he thought in his heart, no one knew.
