At this point, to avoid their confusion, Cheng Shi paused the conversation and explained, "The threads here will explode; it's a reminder for the original Matchmaker when he's arranging the marriage."

The reason is that the first Yue Lao (the God of Love) was old and his memory wasn't very good.

So, to prevent some idiots from breaking the thread and forgetting which one to hold so they would have to search again, a spell was cast to create a spiritual energy bomb on the red thread.

The spirit bomb isn't very powerful, but it's extremely insulting.

The first generation of the old man was slow-moving and had a stable temper because of his advanced age. He didn't care at all when he was occasionally blown up.

But the newcomer is different; he's young and strong, his mindset is lazy, but his temper is unwilling to give up.

Yes, it's that contradictory.

Then, he took over the mantle.

Until one day, he saw the red thread between immortals and mortals again.

Having been used to it for a long time, he began to act as a go-between with ease.

"Boom!"

It's only once, it's okay.

"Boom!"

"And so, after being blown up by the wire more than a hundred times, the Matchmaker God finally exploded."

Unaware that the culprit was none other than himself, Cheng Shi was still complaining to the others about the matter: "It is said that before he went into seclusion to study the new line, he was blown up 29 times by the steel bars he replaced."

That's incredibly stubborn.

If it can't connect, just switch to another one~ Why insist on this one?

Yukinoshita shared the same thought: "Then why is this new matchmaker so insistent on this point?"

"Hmm, I happen to know a little about that too."

In a person's life, there are countless connections made by lines.

The Old Man Under the Moon (Yue Lao) looks at the threads of fate, and there are many such threads, because matters of the heart are difficult to seal.

Therefore, the Old Man of the Moon's daily work is more about observing the threads than about connecting them.

Because some lines will find their own half and tie together without needing to be pulled.

But some lines will be confused; they won't know who to look for or whether they should go out at all.

In short, the situation varies.

These types of lines are generally listed as objects of attention.

Whenever this type of thread appears, the Old Man of the Moon will keep a close eye on it. When he discovers that a thread is also appearing on the other end, he will try to start connecting the two.

Such a line is called the quasi-destined long-distance running line, also known as the quasi-unique line.

Once there is a beginning at either end of this line, a straight dark line will appear between the two lines.

Subtle undercurrents exist in all couples, but they are not unique to any one of them.

Therefore, the quasi-single line is very special because it does not need to be tied at all; it will combine as soon as the time comes.

So why does the matchmaker insist on bringing people together on this path?

Because of the spirit bomb.

He wanted to undo it, but his strength was not as great as the original, so he couldn't.

Then why not call it the First Generation Release?

Because removing the position of the Matchmaker requires a further 50 years to be reinstated, the only option is for a new Matchmaker to quietly increase their power.

However, the Old Man of the Moon needs to arrange marriages to increase his power.

And so a new bug appeared.

"But can't I bring other things?" Hiyori asked, puzzled.

Cheng Shi replied, "Because the immortal gave me a lot of spiritual power, and the immortal would go to repay the vow after he found out."

Yes, it's the kind where they give it to you in person—a lot of it.

Even after cultivating their spiritual practice, immortals still believe in the importance of building positive karma.

Upon hearing this, everyone nodded in understanding.

Cheng Shi shook his head helplessly and complained, "But this immortal is probably in trouble. Demons who have achieved physical sainthood are not so easy to deal with."

(Meanwhile, in a cave in Shenzhou, an excited voice rang out.)

"Hahaha!! It's done! The line is complete!"

Then, the voice became increasingly strained and menacing:

"Damn nameless immortal! You've already got your hands on something, yet you're still so foolish! You'd better not let me catch you, or you'll be in big trouble!"

Yes, full of resentment.

But what does this have to do with preconceived notions?

Because he knows nothing right now.

After staying for a while, Chengshi and Xuezhi bid farewell to Xiaofu and the others.

Once outside, Cheng Shi turned and headed towards the cat shelter next door.

Seeing this, Yukinoshita silently followed.

Upon arriving at the door, Yukinoshita received a warm welcome.

A dog with five tails wagging happily.

Although they didn't know why the scent of their owner had inexplicably increased on this person, it didn't stop them from liking this person who had fed them even more.

Unfortunately, Yukinoshita still couldn't overcome her fear of dogs.

So now she's huddled behind Cheng Shi.

Seeing this, Cheng Shi quickly gave them a command: "Go, go play in the back."

"Woof"

The dog just ran away.

There's no way around it; the commands of their owner, who has raised them for so long, take precedence over playing with the person who fed them before.

After seeing them leave, Yukino finally breathed a sigh of relief and moved away from behind someone to the side.

"What are we doing here?"

"Yes, I came back to visit during the holiday."

Chapter 216 Staying or Leaving

Let's also talk about the issue of staying or leaving.

To be honest, he didn't think Yukinoshita could accept so quickly that the person next to her was actually a non-human being.

So Cheng Shi told the truth: "As you can see, our area is quite special, so the renovation process is relatively quick."

Upon hearing this, Yukinoshita understood what Narutoku wanted to say.

"You mean your place is already renovated?"

Yukino cast a suspicious glance at the discarded building materials in the yard.

It feels more like it hasn't even started yet.

In response, Cheng Shi took out his keys: "Shall we go in and take a look?"

Upon hearing this, Yukinoshita remained silent for a moment before replying, "Yes."

"Click——"

Cheng Shi opened the door.

Two weeks later, Yukinoshita entered Naritsu's house again.

In an instant, it felt like a lifetime had passed.

This is not an exaggeration, because compared to the previous renovation, the current one is truly a complete transformation.

Looking at the surrounding design, Yukinoshita's eyes lit up slightly.

Cheng Shi noticed her gaze: "You like it very much?"

"Yes, I prefer this simple blue atmosphere."

“You have good taste,” Cheng Shi smiled. “About the same as me.”

If he didn't like blue, he wouldn't have chosen it for his interior design.

Then, Cheng Shi led Xue Shi to the sofa.

"Didn't you ask me what I was doing here when we were outside?"

As he spoke, he pointed around: "Look, this is it. You can come here to pet the cats again from now on."

The meaning of "成识" is quite clear.
