Within the Immortal Palace, wisps of auspicious aura gently ascended.

Seated on the throne, the Goddess of Wushan was flanked by handsome men on both sides.

Her beauty was stunning, her slender body wrapped in Immortal Energy, bright and pure like moonlight.

"Indeed beautiful."

Immortal Zhenyuan spoke softly.

Rarely did he compliment anyone; a woman praised by him was certainly not ordinarily beautiful.

The beauty of the Wushan Goddess could rival Chang'e, and every man in the hall looked at her with adoration.

Sun Wukong watched her, a flash of fire igniting in his eyes.

What he saw differed from Immortal Zhenyuan; his Eyes of Golden Flame pierced through all illusions, revealing the true form of this Wushan Goddess.

"This is a strand of a divine woman's remnant soul."

Sun Wukong telepathically informed Immortal Zhenyuan, "The divine woman perished, this strand of soul merged with Langya Pond and formed an Immortal Body."

"A strand of remnant soul?"

Immortal Zhenyuan slightly furrowed his brow, as this was less than even the Three Souls and Six Spirits.

"Do you know what this remnant soul is?"

Asked Immortal Zhenyuan.

"I do not know."

Sun Wukong replied, sighing inwardly.

The aura of the Wushan Goddess had already merged with Langya Pond; their Spiritual Energies intertwined, indistinguishable from each other.

"This is troublesome."

Sun Wukong thought to himself.

If the Wushan Goddess was one with Langya Pond, then she was Langya Pond; separating them might destroy the Blessed Land.

They could only obtain her consent.

Sun Wukong looked towards the Goddess.

As they observed the Goddess, she too was observing them.

Where did these two come from?

The Goddess was curious. She could not discern their levels of cultivation, but knew they were not ordinary.

"Why have the two of you visited me?"

The Goddess spoke first, "I don't have a good reputation in the outside world."

Sun Wukong nodded, "May I ask, Goddess, why do you demand men from every country each month, what are you seeking?"

"To choose a consort."

The Goddess answered, "I have been here for tens of thousands of years, alone and unsupported, desiring to choose a consort to accompany me for the rest of my life."

Sun Wukong and Immortal Zhenyuan looked at each other in disbelief.

"Is that all?"

Asked Immortal Zhenyuan.

"That is all."

The Goddess nodded.

She told them that she was once a female Immortal of the Heavenly Palace, who perished during a great calamity, her Divine Soul utterly destroyed, fortunately, a strand of her remnant soul merged with Langya Pond and achieved Immortality through cultivation.

Having become an Immortal, the Goddess, lonely and unsupported, recalled the greatest regret of her time as a female Immortal was never having experienced the love between a man and a woman, thus prompting the countries to select a consort for her.

"I have become one with this place and cannot leave; I must ask humans to choose for me."

The Goddess concluded.

"If that is the case..."

Immortal Zhenyuan remained half-skeptical, "You already have so many men, why are you still not satisfied?"

"Do you think I am like those gaudy women of the Mortal World?"

The Goddess coldly scoffed, "Though there are many men here, over the years, not one has moved my heart."

After all, she was also a female Immortal, why would she fancy ordinary men.

Hearing this, the surrounding men all somewhat shamefully lowered their heads.

"If you do not favor any, why not let them go back?"

Sun Wukong continued to ask.

"It is not that I wish to keep them; they do not wish to return."

The Goddess answered.

"We are willing to serve the Goddess for life!"

The men shouted in unison.

Having been mortals before, everything in the Mortal World lost its appeal upon seeing the Goddess. Why go back?

Besides, here they were free from worries about food and clothing, could seek Immortality, and maybe one day achieve the Tao — who would miss such an opportunity?

Sun Wukong and Immortal Zhenyuan, seeing the men's attitudes, both remained silent.

Though they accepted the Goddess's explanation, there was still something they did not understand.

"You demand men from all nations, and after they present them, why do you punish them with ice pellets?"

Immortal Zhen Yuan asked.

Upon hearing this, the Goddess became angry and said, "If those mortals hadn't resorted to tricks, why would I punish them?"

She instructed a man by her side to bring last month's tribute.

The 'tribute' brought forward were a group of handsome men, but when Sun Wukong and his companion saw them, none were normal.

Either drooling from the corner of their mouths or with dull, lifeless eyes.

"How dare they send such men to dismiss me, how can I not be angry!"

The Goddess exclaimed.

Immortal Zhen Yuan realized that this was a temperamental Goddess. The mortals had slighted her, so of course she was upset.

"Elder brother."

Immortal Zhen Yuan looked towards Sun Wukong, asking what to do.

Sun Wukong stepped forward and said, "I will seek a satisfactory husband for the Goddess. May the Goddess lend me this place for cultivation for one year?"

One year was enough for him to learn the art of Shattering Void.

"If that's the case."

The Goddess was extremely pleased, "Not just one year, even if I die, I would be willing."

"Good."

With that promise, Sun Wukong felt at ease.

The Spiritual Energy of Langya Pond was not abundant, and he was not sure what impact his cultivation might have on this place.

With the woman so determined, he no longer had reservations.

Sun Wukong and Immortal Zhen Yuan turned to leave.

Before departing, Immortal Zhen Yuan looked back at the Wushan Goddess.

"You truly are a tedious person."

For Immortals, the matters of love between men and women are hardly worth exchanging one's life.

The Goddess was slightly stunned, giving Immortal Zhen Yuan a strange look.

When Sun Wukong left the Immortal Palace and returned to the shore.

"Master."

The young maids approached to inquire about the situation.

Sun Wukong explained what happened in the Immortal Palace; without helping her find a husband, it would be difficult to cultivate here.

"This place already has little Spiritual Energy, if we compete, it will destroy the Blessed Land."

The young maid nodded, "Master's actions are quite correct."

"So we must find her a husband?"

Heavenly Dog asked.

"Yes."

Sun Wukong nodded.

"I see it as very difficult."

Immortal Zhen Yuan commented from the side, "She was originally a Goddess, it won't be easy for mortal men to appeal to her."

The Wushan Goddess hadn't fancied any man over these many years, and that had its reasons.

"Love has nothing to do with being an Immortal or mortal."

Sun Wukong did not agree with that.

As long as someone is exceptional, even a mortal could charm the Wushan Goddess.

"I wager with my junior brother, she won't be impressed."

Immortal Zhen Yuan said.

Such pride that Wushan Goddess held, he didn't believe she would fancy a human.

Sun Wukong glanced at Immortal Zhen Yuan, "If she's not impressed, I've got other candidates."

Immortal Zhen Yuan felt somewhat curious.

"Your Majesty, how should we find a husband for the Goddess?"

Heavenly Dog asked then, "Should we ask for help from all nations?"

"No need."

Sun Wukong waved his hand, he didn't need to reveal his identity.

Moreover, asking for help from all nations would be just like the Wushan Goddess; the nations might not select the best candidates either.

Sun Wukong asked the young maid, "Can you transform to become larger?"

"Transform larger?"

The young maid's eyes shifted, and she quickly understood: "Master, are you asking me to go seek a suitor?"

She wasn't the Wushan Goddess, and no one would suspect her.

As long as the young maid transformed into a beautiful woman and visited various nations to seek a suitor, she would definitely attract many men.
