Although Li Ye was speechless, he was genuinely curious about how this matchmaking was done.

However, he had another doubt:

"You say that believers pray for this every year, yet every year their wishes remain unfulfilled. Could it be that her daughter simply doesn't want to marry anyone? Wouldn't we be intervening in fate and forcibly altering it by doing this?"

He understood that in such an environment, "urging marriage" was all too normal, but there were always some who didn't want to marry. Maybe this was the case?

Upon hearing this, the Silver Toad immediately shook its head: "If she truly had no intention of marrying anyone, this wish would have dissipated long ago. After all, Master Wangshu is a true deity and would not do anything against a mortal's will.

It's just that she hasn't found her true love yet, so she needs you, Priest Li, to lend a hand."

"I see."

Li Ye was no longer doubtful, nodding his head:

"So, according to you, what should I do?"

Before he finished speaking.

Two rather peculiar Spirit Plants appeared before him—they were not tall, even seemed low, but their branches intertwined naturally, as if embracing and holding hands.

The red ribbons swayed gently in the wind, and the bells hanging from them chimed softly, giving off a wondrous sense of timeless tranquility.

"This…what is this?"

Li Ye's pupils narrowed slightly.

[Name]: Divine Conferred Intertwined Branches

[Mood]: Joyful

[Status]: Bound by the Qi of countless joyful unions, these intertwining twin trees, conferred by the Immortal Seal of "Intertwined Branches," possess the miraculous power of the red string's attraction.

When both parties truly harmonize, and a person of excellent fortune is willing to offer genuine blessings, a good union will be forged, ensuring a life free from illness and disaster, and allowing past bonds to be renewed in the next life.

[Can Bind]: Wings nurtured by Immortal Qi.

So they really are Intertwined Branches.

This is undoubtedly a famous Spirit Plant, but does it actually exist?

"This is the renowned Intertwined Branch from the mortal realm." The Silver Toad's voice held a hint of regret: "It's a pity that the Intertwined and the Wings are a pair; lacking the Wings, it cannot soar the skies.

Thus, the Intertwined can only affect mortals now.

Only when the Intertwined and the Wings truly harmonize can they be effective for cultivators."

As it spoke.

It opened its mouth again—

A red string was spat out, landing in front of Li Ye.

"Here you go."

"This is the red string belonging to the daughter of the believer from before. As long as Priest Li sincerely wishes, then hangs it on the Intertwined Branch, within three days she will undoubtedly meet a golden and perfect match to accompany her for life."

"Moreover…"

The Silver Toad blinked its eyes, as flawless and full as the bright moon with a hint of teasing: "This might also be related to your Dao."

Related to my Dao?

Li Ye squinted slightly, then nodded, took the red string, and closed his eyes to make a wish.

Although he was indeed alone, having traversed through time and space, he occasionally read about sweet love, so sincerely wishing wasn't a troublesome matter.

He carefully combed through in his heart, and after sincerely wishing, a wisp of ethereal Immortal Light graced the red string.

"Is that all?"

He looked to the Silver Toad inquiringly.

"That's it, that's it!" The Silver Toad seemed rather eager, with a touch of envy in its eyes: "Ah, your celestial wish isn't just for a life of peace; it also heralds boundless prosperity!"

"When she comes to repay her vows, I'll have her erect an Eternal Life Tablet for you, Priest Li; it's an endless stream of merit!"

It couldn't help but want to stick out its tongue to give a lick.

This was Immortal Light formed from a celestial's sincere wish, and coupled with Li Ye's good relationship with the Celestial Dao, it truly could reach the heavens and influence the flow of Qi Fortune.

In other words, the Celestial Dao will surely arrange for a man whose temperament harmonizes and Qi matches with the woman, to forge a tied knot, experience immense wealth and prosperity through life, and have descendants who benefit from celestial protection.

As long as they do nothing wrong, they could pass it down for generations.

A single wish from Li Ye could essentially create a family lineage continuing for at least several hundred years in the mortal realm.

The Silver Toad suddenly felt this was a bit too exaggerated.

Previously, Wangshu also found some humans or spirits she thought were agreeable to serve as a temple guardian, and they too were individuals of smooth fortunes, but compared to Li Ye's Qi Fortune, Merit, and Celestial Light, there was a gap.

Moreover, it felt strange why the blessing from the Celestial Dao upon Li Ye was so strong, as though… The Celestial Dao was urging it along.

Hmm…

It quickly shook its head, carefully tying the red string on the Intertwined Branch.

The unique divine tree shook slightly.

Two figures seemed to appear, leaning against each other in a storm—the woman was valiant, knocking the struggling man unconscious with a slap, and then arduously navigating through a muddy forest.

They had various wounds on their bodies, but strangely with the rain washing over them, the injuries weren't getting worse; instead, they were gradually healing.

Though the surrounding trees swayed like ghosts in the storm, and the looming mountains sulked like giant beasts, with rain pouring down like the Heavenly River overturning, the woman seemed to struggle without ever stumbling.

This muddy, tempestuous path was clearly a clear road under her feet.

"Tsk."

The Silver Toad glanced at it and quipped: "Even the Celestial Dao cannot escape the trope of hero saving the beauty… uh, beauty saving the hero."

Li Ye watched with interest: "Could this be the woman's destined romance?"

"Yeah." The Silver Toad replied: "She's actually a female general stationed in the capital, so she's quite strong, but look at this man, although he seems to be unconscious, he's actually adjusting and assisting the woman in avoiding rocks and roots.

So these two really are a pair meant for each other, heavenly-matched."

So that's how it is.

Li Ye nodded, indicating that he understood.

He was about to pick another lot, but the Silver Toad cried out:

"Priest Li."

"Take it easy!"

"Your wishes can't be this intense again."

Li Ye felt helpless, spreading his hands, saying: "I wasn't that intense, it was just a normal wish, but who knew the effect would be so good."

"Then you have to restrain yourself a bit more."

"Here, this one is for peace."

The Silver Toad carefully selected another lot for Li Ye, and after he took it, his Divine Sense lingered, this time hearing:

"Wangshu Deity on high."

"May my business endeavor go smoothly and safely this time."

After hearing this, Li Ye wondered, "This seems like a very ordinary wish for peace, right? Moreover, it's from a mortal, why can't you fulfill it?"

"Because this person learned some incomplete corpse-driving techniques from somewhere, intending to send deceased travelers back to their homeland."

"But the corpse-driving inheritance is incomplete, and since he's a mere mortal, prolonged exposure to corpses brings Yin energy."

"Originally not difficult to solve, but this person has a special bloodline, unable to accommodate the divine power of Wangshu Moon God, so it has been left awaiting resolution."

Special bloodline?

Li Ye extended his Divine Sense, seeing a young man about twenty, ordinary in appearance but standing upright, with determined features, and a glimmering starry light about him.

This starlight…

He frowned slightly, summoning a drop of Beidou Star Spring water from his Small Thousand World, and, upon comparing it, found it identical.

"See?" Silver Toad said helplessly, "His ancestor was probably a scholar from Bitter Journey Academy settled in the Eastern Domain, somehow merging a bit of Beidou starlight into his bloodline.

By some chance, this guy activated the starlight.

To protect him for safety and prosperity, it'd require to leave a mark on the star curtain of Eastern Domain, and that star curtain is only controllable by the Su Xing lineage."

It said as such.

Seemingly afraid Li Ye would regret, the Silver Toad quickly extended its tongue, dispelling the surrounding moonlit fog, replacing it with a clear, bright starry sky.

Countless stars twinkled with fluctuating brightness.

It was precisely the star curtain of the Eastern Domain.

Li Ye: "..."

Should I say you are really dedicated to fulfilling wishes, or should I say you are going overboard.

Having such "diligent" deities is really… hard to assess.
