However, the King was quite sly.

By nightfall, the King had still not sent anyone over, so the maiden transformed herself into an exceptionally beautiful female Taoist nun.

"Master, it's time for me to leave."

The maiden said to Sun Wukong.

"Go ahead."

Sun Wukong let her go, then turned his gaze to the numerous handsome men in the mirror.

"I should inform the Goddess of Wushan now."

Sun Wukong started to cast a spell, intending to transmit the images in the mirror to the Goddess of Wushan.

Immortal Zhenyuan quickly stopped him, saying, "There's no rush, let's wait two more rounds."

He felt there was no need to inform the Goddess of Wushan so soon.

Although Xiao Yang City was close to Wushan, it wasn't their first stop.

To avoid attracting attention, they had first visited other countries.

When conducting the beauty selection in other countries, they let the Goddess of Wushan partake in the screening, but Immortal Zhenyuan found that the Goddess wasn't interested in the process.

"It won't be too late to show her after the selection is down to five people."

Immortal Zhenyuan said, without hastening to show the goddess.

"Let's talk about the matters of the Three Realms."

Compared to the goddess, Immortal Zhenyuan was more eager to take this chance to discuss matters concerning the Three Realms with Sun Wukong, especially since the maiden wasn't around.

"What do you want to discuss?"

Sun Wukong asked.

"About the Three Realms."

Immortal Zhenyuan replied.

Both of them had learned from the maiden the method to return to the Three Realms, which wasn't easy, but as long as they could master the Shattering Void, there would always be a way.

After leaving the Three Realms, both longed for their homeland.

With this opportunity at hand, naturally, they wouldn't want to miss it.

However, beyond that, the Three Realms held more significance to them.

The Brahma Void Heavenly Court governs three hundred Star Palaces; if they could bring the Immortals from the Three Realms, there would be no concerns about finding rulers.

"This place is unlike the others we've passed through; it's probably impossible to select Immortals from the Brahma Void Heavenly Court."

Immortal Zhenyuan finally said.

Sun Wukong agreed with this point; the Immortals of the Brahma Void Heavenly Court had all perished, and the time required to cultivate new Immortals was unfathomable.

Given this, it would be better to directly bring the Immortals of the Three Realms.

But how to bring them, and how to arrange them after bringing them, was something Sun Wukong and Immortal Zhenyuan had never discussed.

The two discussed for about the duration of burning two incense sticks before they came up with a rough plan.

After their discussion had ended, right on cue, the enchanting sound of a zither came from outside—the maiden's selection had concluded.

"There are five left now."

Immortal Zhenyuan turned his eyes towards the mirror, swept a glance, and said, "Today's selection of men is decent, the goddess might fancy one of them."

"I'll inform her."

Sun Wukong cast the spell and sent the image to Wushan.

In Wushan, the goddess was by a pond that she had built in the Immortal Palace, feeding the fish,

Suddenly, the pond's surface shimmered, rippled, and revealed the distant Fragrance Tower.

"It has finally come."

The goddess handed the fish food to a man behind her and looked into the pond, "So Xiao Yang City, as with other countries, underestimates me, having such beautiful men but never offering them to me."

She was quite satisfied with the five remaining handsome men of Fragrance Tower, her gaze sweeping over each one.

When she came to one of them, the goddess paused, taking an extra look, which caused anxiety among the many men behind her.

"This man has an excellent foundation and is destined for Immortality."

The goddess uttered, her gaze moving over the other men.

"Those two Taoists are truly extraordinary."

The goddess thought to herself.

At first, she also doubted whether they were sincerely choosing a husband for her, but over time she came to believe it.

The beauty trap employed by those two Taoists was very effective; the men they selected were all top-notch, including princes and nobles, much better than the males offered up by those countries.

The only thing that made the Goddess feel uncomfortable was that those two Taoists were too mysterious.

A beauty trap, coupled with the spell to transmit images, didn't seem like something ordinary Taoists could control.

"Could it be that the White Robed Venerate has sent someone over again?"

The thought flashed through the Goddess's mind, but after careful consideration, she felt at ease.

She had no other desires, and no matter what the identities of the two Taoists were, as long as they could find her a husband, she would be satisfied.

"Goddess."

A man interrupted the Goddess's thoughts and said, "It's time to reject two of them."

The Goddess came back to her senses, realizing that of the five handsome men in Xiao Yang City, two more must be rejected, leaving only the last three eligible to meet her.

"All five are good, it's indeed hard to choose."

The Goddess of Wushan sighed.

"Which two do you think are the best to reject?"

The Goddess looked for a long time, still hesitating, and then asked the men around her.

The men didn't hesitate at all and unanimously pointed to the plainly dressed man.

"That man, in terms of both background and temperament, is not on par with the other four."

The men said.

The Goddess looked and saw that he was the man with the excellent innate talent whom she valued.

"This won't do."

The Goddess of Wushan shook her head, then smiled and said, "I have no bias towards him, but I don't like you using such tactics."

The men bowed and acknowledged.

The Goddess looked at their faces and couldn't help thinking; these men were also good, with fine appearances and qualities, so why insist on finding one she liked?

Thinking it over, perhaps she ultimately didn't feel any excitement towards these mortal men.

"This is the last try."

The Goddess thought to herself, if those two Taoists couldn't help her find a favored mortal man, then she would give up and wait for a male Immortal to appear in the future.

The White Robed Venerate had already sent one over, and there should, logically, be newcomers.

While turning these thoughts in her mind, the Goddess scrutinized the five men.

After the time it took an incense stick to burn, she made up her mind, extended a finger towards the pool, and a light flickered, with two figures shaking slightly.

"I will reject them."

The Goddess said.

With a ripple on the surface of the pool, her voice carried over to Xiao Yang City.

Sun Wukong and Immortal Zhenyuan heard the voice, seeing also the mirror in front of them ripple.

"The Goddess has made her choice..."

Sun Wukong spoke, with his voice leaving the room and entering the ears of the maiden, undetected by anyone along the way.

The maiden playing the qin on the Fragrance Tower stopped playing immediately.

"This is it for tonight."

She stood up and said, "I have selected three men whom I desire, they may come to my Daoist Temple with the men from all nations in a few days, and I shall choose one of them to be my husband."

After the maiden spoke, the area around the Fragrance Tower erupted in noisy reactions.

"That's it? Is Miss Heng'e leaving?"

"Which three have been chosen?"

"Miss Heng'e, please tell us, which two have been rejected? I will pay handsomely to take them back home as sons-in-law."

Someone shouted towards the Fragrance Tower.

The maiden smiled, not saying who was rejected, only mentioning the three chosen.

Dong Tian was one of them; upon hearing this, he was thrilled and quickly thanked the maiden along with the other two men.

Although there was still one obstacle ahead, they didn't feel at all that the maiden was being difficult.

For such a stunningly gorgeous woman to have so many demands was only natural.

The other two men, although regretful, also received the applause and recognition from the crowd, and soon composed themselves without being too upset for long.
