The Alchemy Room was filled with the fragrance of Elixirs.
Seven Spider Demons were scrutinizing the Hundred-Eyed Demon Lord, giving him a careful once-over.
After a long scrutiny, they moved to a corner to discuss.
"What should we do, our senior brother is so pitiable, the red thread shows no response."
"Definitely no girl likes him."
The Spider Demons were full of sympathy in their hearts.
The Matchmaking God had given each of them a red thread, instructing them to find suitable candidates; when encountering a predestined man and woman, the red thread would tremble.
The Spider Demons were to tie the red thread on the suitable men and women to qualify as The Matchmaking God's disciples.
They sought out the Hundred-Eyed Demon Lord first thing.
But the Hundred-Eyed Demon Lord had no appeal to women, the red thread lay still, not moving an inch.
"I think we might as well go fly kites!"
The youngest Spider Demon was getting restless.
"No way!"
The other Spider Demons immediately disapproved.
"If we fly kites, we'll fail the test!"
"If we don't pass the test, we'll have no red threads to play with!"
The Spider Demons loved to play, but without passing The Matchmaking God's test, they'd have no fun afterward.
They had to complete the task assigned to them by The Matchmaking God.
"Why must we help our senior brother?"
Swiveling her eyeballs, the youngest Spider Demon suggested: "How about we just find any random female demon?"
"No good, we'd definitely fail the test."
The other Spider Demons disagreed.
"What in the world are you all doing?"
The Hundred-Eyed Demon Lord in the Alchemy Room could not bear it any longer and spoke up: "If it's nothing, don't disturb my Alchemy!"
"Senior brother."
The Spider Demons looked at the Hundred-Eyed Demon Lord with faces filled with sympathy.
"No wonder you're doomed to a lonely life."
At that moment, a chubby girl walked in.
"Demon Lord, do you have any Digestion Pills?"
The Hundred-Eyed Demon Lord glanced at her: "Give me a moment."
He turned to fetch the Elixir.
The Spider Demons noticed the red thread trembling, staring curiously at the girl.
"Sister."
They immediately encircled her: "Who are you?"
"I am the maid of the Water Moon Fairy."
The girl answered.
The Spider Demons exchanged glances, this sister was a good match for our senior brother.
They quickly seized the girl's right hand, as they drew circles on her fingers, she couldn't help feeling a bit odd: "What are you doing?"
"Nothing!"
The Spider Demons tugged at the red thread and tied the other end to the hand of the Hundred-Eyed Demon Lord.
The Hundred-Eyed Demon Lord also did not understand what was going on as he found the Digestion Pill.
"Here."
He handed a bottle of Elixir to the girl, and for some reason, his heart suddenly felt sympathy.
The Hundred-Eyed Demon Lord couldn't help but add: "Sister Bear, you should go to restaurants with the Water Moon Fairy less often, come back next time, and I'll concoct some Stomach Nourishing Pills for you."
"Thank you."
The girl looked at him gratefully, what a good person he was.
Seeing this, the Spider Demons couldn't help but feel happy.
"The red thread really works."
They left the valley, saying: "Our senior brother has finally caught on!"
"The Matchmaking God said the red thread only provides guidance, we need to help our senior brother more in the future."
As they spoke, the Spider Demons felt a heavy sense of responsibility.
If they didn't urge him, he'd definitely not be able to pursue that sister from earlier.
"What should we do with the remaining six red threads?"
The Spider Demons asked next.
"Let's go to Wanling City to look for targets."
The eldest sister replied: "Surely we will find some."
As soon as she had finished saying this, an owl flew down from the sky.
"How long do you still want to play around?"
The owl said: "Stop messing with the red threads and come back to class with me!"
The Spider Demons were startled.
Why is the owl teacher from the school here?
Although it hasn't taken human form, it always appears and disappears mysteriously, finding them every time, which is quite frightening.
The Spider Demons prepared to flee when suddenly they noticed their red threads trembling.
They looked at each other and quickly lost their fear.
"Owl teacher, please let us go!"
They said with a smile, "We have red threads, we can pull one for you!"
"One?"
The owl pondered, "How can one be enough, you need at least three!"
It followed these Spider Demons and naturally knew what they were up to.
The owl really wanted the red threads, but since Immortal Master Erlang is a Heavenly God, a few more threads were needed to have any effect.
The Spider Demons hesitated: "Isn't three too many?"
"I won't chase you after this."
The owl said.
The Spider Demons' eyes lit up, and they hastily agreed.
But then, they hesitated again.
"How do we tie the red threads onto Uncle Immortal Master Erlang?"
Everyone in the school knew the owl fancied Immortal Master Erlang.
But Immortal Master Erlang was intimidating.
The owl said, "I'll have Erlang's infantry get him drunk."
The Spider Demons were skeptical.
However, by evening, Erlang's infantry indeed got Immortal Master Erlang drunk at the tavern.
The owl handed out a stack of signed photos of Daji to them.
The Spider Demons seized the opportunity to tie the red threads around Immortal Master Erlang.
They also tied a thread for the tavern owner, as he promised them free tofu in the future.
"Red threads can be traded for food!"
The Spider Demons suddenly realized the red threads were more fun than they thought.
They could skip classes and even save on their food bills.
"Let's trade the remaining red thread from the sixth sister for something else!"
The Spider Demons left the tavern, chirping and searching the streets.
Their actions were being watched from afar by The Matchmaking God through a copper mirror.
"These Spider Demons are too playful."
The Matchmaking God thought while sitting under a tree.
Even though they were fated to him, they were too fond of playing and couldn't be trusted with the red threads lightly.
They knew it was a test and should have been cautious, yet they only chose couples that interested them.
And now they even wanted to trade red threads for something else, which was not good.
Starting like this, they might end up unbridled in the future...
"There's still one red thread left."
The Matchmaking God shook his head: "Let's wait and see!"
He sat under a big tree outside Wanling City when a girl carrying a bundle walked by.
"Excuse me, elder, is Wanling City up ahead?"
The golden-haired and golden-eyed girl asked.
"That's right."
The Matchmaking God glanced at the girl.
Clearly, she was from outside, but those from outside usually came in groups; why was there one traveling alone.
"Thank you."
The girl thanked The Matchmaking God and proceeded to pass by him.
The Matchmaking God, however, noticed a glow in the girl's eyes.
Such a glow he had only seen in Sun Wukong.
It was the glow of someone who did not understand personal affection, but embraced all creation—The Matchmaking God thought.
This girl was qualified to be his disciple.
"Wait—"
The Matchmaking God stopped the girl: "I have a job matching someone, would you be interested?"
The girl tilted her head.
Getting a job offer as soon as she arrived in Wanling City.
"Sure!"
She nodded eagerly.
After all, she had no idea what job to look for.
The Matchmaking God stroked his beard with relief: "What's your name?"
"Lady White Bone."
The girl replied.
