The car drove for half a minute before stopping in front of a mountain that seemed to flutter with red.

After getting out of the car, Chen Hao first noticed several other vehicles parked not far ahead and wondered if their owners had brought their loved ones here to seek marital blessings from the Matchmaker God?

Then, looking up at the Matchmaker Mountain, Chen Hao saw that it wasn't very high, with its peak seeming to be just a little over five hundred meters. He observed that most of the bare tree branches on the mountain were covered in red knotted ribbons, which made the Matchmaker Mountain appear red at first glance, in stark contrast to the surrounding mountains that loomed in and out of the mist.

"Are all these red ribbons tied up by people seeking marital ties?" Chen Hao asked.

"Yes!" The driver nodded, a faraway look in his eyes as he reminisced about the time he and his wife had gone up the Matchmaker Mountain. "Back when my wife and I made our vows in front of the Matchmaker God, the old temple keeper gave us two red ribbons and told us to tie them to a tree, wishing that our relationship would endure as the trees here do."

"Haha," Chen Hao smiled at Ye Yuqiao, "later we should also get two red ribbons and tie them to a tree."

Hearing Chen Hao say this, the driver pursed his lips with a bitter smile and asked, "Didn't you say that this Matchmaker God was all about fooling and tricking people? Then why would you still want to tie a red ribbon with your girlfriend?"

"Yeah?" Ye Yuqiao's voice echoed in Chen Hao's mind, "Boyfriend, I share the same question."

With a smug tilt at the corner of his mouth, Chen Hao said, "Even though this Matchmaker God may be fake, the sincerity of our wish for a lasting relationship is real; those two things don't conflict, do they?"

"That's true!" The driver nodded in agreement.

Ye Yuqiao smiled at Chen Hao, thinking to herself, "Boyfriend, I always thought you were someone extreme in their views, but after spending more time with you, I found you're not only not that, but you're also incredibly rational. What to do? I suddenly feel like swooning over you."

"Then swoon," Chen Hao's expression became even more proud, "and when we go tie the ribbon, I'll reward you with the chance to kiss me."

"Okay!" Ye Yuqiao softly agreed in her heart, then moved closer to Chen Hao, linking arms with him as they walked up Matchmaker Mountain together.

After not much time had passed, they smelled the strong scent of burning incense. Chen Hao activated his Yin Yang Eyes and looked towards the mountain peak, only to find no Yin Qi or any demonic aura, which made him wonder: Could it be that the entity dwelling inside the Matchmaker temple was not an evil spirit, but something else?

"It seems that this Matchmaker temple is very popular!" Chen Hao remarked as he looked around.

"Yes!" The driver earnestly echoed, "Whenever we have the time, my wife and I would bring our child to the mountain to burn incense and thank the Matchmaker God. I guess others do the same."

"So, it seems that this Matchmaker God is quite beloved by everyone," Chen Hao added.

"Yes! At least around here, many people have a lot of faith in him."

After walking for twenty minutes, Chen Hao, Ye Yuqiao, and the driver finally reached the peak of Matchmaker Mountain and arrived in front of the Matchmaker Temple. Along the way, the three of them saw quite a few couples hanging red ribbons beneath the trees and praying earnestly. Watching each sweet and hopeful pair, Chen Hao thought: If this so-called Matchmaker God hasn't done anything bad, should he be cut some slack?

"You two go in," the driver stopped, his face filled with discomfort. "I was the one who sought a marital match from the Matchmaker God, and indeed he granted my wish. But now, not only have I broken my vows, but I'm also helping you two confront him. I truly don't have the face to see him."

After exchanging a glance with Ye Yuqiao, Chen Hao nodded and promised to honor the driver's request, then he and Ye Yuqiao walked hand in hand into the Matchmaker Temple.

When they were less than two meters from the temple entrance, Ye Yuqiao finally sensed the aroma of Yin Qi and told Chen Hao, "Boyfriend, there are ghosts in this temple."

"Yes," Chen Hao nodded, "I feel it too, but let's go inside and make our vows first, in case you really start to think less of me later!"

"Do you really want to make a vow?" Ye Yuqiao asked with a frown, her sensitive heart feeling hurt that Chen Hao didn't trust her.

"Haha! Just kidding with you!" Chen Hao laughed, as he raised his left index finger and gently tapped Ye Yuqiao's nose. "If one truly wants to stay together for life, growing old side by side, why the need for pale and feeble vows and promises?"

"Then why did you stuff a deed of servitude with your name on it into the red envelope you gave me for Spring Festival? Isn't that like slapping your own face?"

"Wasn't that just to amuse you?"

"Hmph!" Ye Yuqiao's face showed a hint of grievance, "So you're saying that you weren't serious at the time?"

"How could I not have been serious?" Chen Hao retorted, "I really wanted to please you at that time!"

The grievance on Ye Yuqiao's face vanished instantly, and she muttered, "Fine then! But since that's the case, I won't give you my deed of servitude!"

"Why not?" Chen Hao asked, frowning, "You already promised me, how can you go back on your word?"

Ye Yuqiao's eyes went round, and then she lazily rolled them, looking rather mischievous, which made Chen Hao, watching her, feel an urge to kiss her.

"Who was it just now that said if one truly wants to stay together for life, vows and promises are unnecessary?" said Ye Yuqiao, smiling as she spoke.

"But I also want my girlfriend to please me, don't I?"

"There are many ways to please you, and I choose not to adopt this one," Ye Yuqiao said, then grabbed Chen Hao's hand and headed toward the Temple of the Matchmaker.

"No," Chen Hao stopped in his tracks, grabbing Ye Yuqiao's arm, "You can't go back on your word, little girl, otherwise you'll hurt this young man's fragile heart."

"A young man has to face some hardships to become stronger!"

"No!" Chen Hao suddenly spread his arms and wrapped them around Ye Yuqiao's waist, "I don't care, if you don't agree to give me the deed of servitude, I'll just cling to you like this and not let go."

Watching Chen Hao and Ye Yuqiao as if they were flirting teasingly, the driver not far behind them was biting his teeth in aggravation.

Just at that moment, a frail figure walked out of the temple. As the figure drew closer, the image of a white-haired, elderly person gradually became clear in the eyes of Chen Hao and Ye Yuqiao.

With his Yin Yang Eyes, Chen Hao saw that this was a resentful ghost with intense malice.

However, unlike other malicious ghosts, this one could retract its malice back into its internal organs instead of emitting it outside, which was why Chen Hao had felt its Yin Qi at the foot of the mountain.

"Are you two here to fix your fate in marriage?" the elderly ghost asked.

"Hmm!" Chen Hao nodded.

"Sorry," the elderly ghost shook its head, "The Matchmaker God can't determine your fate, so he asked me to send you two down the mountain?"

Chen Hao was taken aback and sighed, "The Matchmaker God knew we were coming?"

"Neither of you are ordinary people, so discovering you two coming up the mountain shouldn't be difficult, right?" the elderly ghost said, "As for why the Matchmaker God can't determine your fates, I think you both should be very clear about that. So, don't give the Matchmaker God a hard time, just go down the mountain."
