How did I, an Onmyoji, become the Lord of Yokai?

Taking a deep breath and making a mental note, the Goddess of Fate tried her best to remain calm. She sat up straight, hands on her hips, and said, "Leave it to me. Whoever prays to me, I will respond!"

"Settling down a marriage is a piece of cake!"

The matchmaker, laughing and indicating that there was no problem, was about to use her divine power to arrange the marriage, but suddenly, she froze.

Who is the person Ibuki just mentioned she wants to marry...?

master?

Recalling Ibuki's nickname for Shimizu Asahi, the kind-hearted deity couldn't help but open his mouth...

"Wait!! Ibuki, the target you're trying to forge is Asahiya!???"

"Yes, it's Master. Is there a problem, Lord Enmusubi?"

"..."

No, no, no, this isn't a problem, it's a huge problem. Leaving aside the fact that Shimizu Asahi already has a lover, are you sure you want to attack her brother right under the nose of the Lord of Takamagahara?

Her longtime friend almost had a day trip to the underworld. If Ibuki really did that, Enmusubi would seriously doubt whether she could live to see the next day.

"Hehehe... No problem, as long as I don't say anything and neither does Lady Enmusubi, no one will know."

"Moreover, my marriage to you, sir, can also help the Goddess of Fate recover more of her divine power, can't it?"

"Or is it that the God of Fate is unwilling to bring two people in love into marriage?"

The king of Mount Ooe chuckled softly, his subtle whispers like those of a demon from the underworld, stirring up desires within people's hearts.

Whether it's the work of the gods or the beauty of marriage, these are things that the God of Fate would never want to ignore.

She helps people find love not only to restore her divine power, but also so that lovers can be together forever.

The beauty of marriage is the foundation of the God of Fate's actions.

Therefore, as long as one brings up the concept of marriage, the God of Marriage will never refuse.

The demon king, who had seen through the heart of the God of Fate in just two hours, smiled charmingly.

As Ibuki guessed, the Goddess of Marriage began to struggle with the choice: to live or to risk her life to help people find their perfect match. What would she choose?

"..."

"..."

"Ugh...! Damn it, since you've said that, I'll help you this once! But I'll personally test the connection between you and Chaoyang. If there's no future for you two, then no matter what you say, I won't help you!"

In the end, the Goddess of Fate agreed, and Ibuki smiled with narrowed eyes.

There must be a deep connection between two people who are already married. For the God of Fate to say this is tantamount to agreeing to her conditions.

Hehehe... I've also got the red string of fate for marriage.

However, before she could be happy for long, the tightly closed wooden door suddenly opened again, and a steady yet tense voice came from outside.

"Lord of the God of Fate, since you have helped Ibuki to find a husband, could you please help me find a husband as well?"

"Please." Chapter 424, Section 421: The Final Victory Belongs to Qingnvfang!

“Ah Li, and... Qing Nu Fang.”

"Hehehe... That's a little too fast. Are you waiting for me to make my move?"

Seeing the two people walking in from outside, the petite Ghost King narrowed his eyes, a hint of amusement creeping into his expression.

Asking the God of Fate to help her find a husband after lunch was actually a result of her careful consideration.

Ever since experiencing the pain of losing the cake, she has come to a profound understanding: what you want, you must seize swiftly, decisively, and with thunderous force! You must never give anyone else eyeing the cake a chance to retaliate!

Therefore, she chose the fastest and most suitable time.

After lunch, Shimizu Asahi wanted to tell Mio his story from three hundred years ago. Given Mio's personality, they would definitely not come out for a while. At the same time, Ari and Qingnufang had to take on the task of cleaning up the dishes, because Mio had cooked quite a lot this time, so the two of them could not get away for the time being.

Furthermore, they probably couldn't have guessed that she would make a move against the Goddess of Fate so quickly.

Being well-prepared is a necessary experience for everyone before taking action. Even Ali and Qingnufang would carefully consider things before making a move. Therefore, her operation this time was foolproof.

Following Suzuka Gozen and Shimizu Asahi, the one who must be married to her is none other than the Queen of Mount Oe, Ibuki-dōji!

But... an unexpected event occurred. Ah Li and Qing Nu Fang, who were not expected to return so soon, came back at this time.

Is it the Green Maiden's Room?

Amethyst-like eyes fell on the blue-haired girl. Ibuki, who knew Ari well, knew that although Ari had the ability to move, she could not react much immediately. Compared to humans, she was indeed very smart, but compared to the demon king who had lived for thousands of years, she was still a little lacking.

Therefore, the only one who could remind her to return was Qingnvfang.

As expected of someone who fooled Mio, fooled the master, and almost fooled her as well. If Qingnufang hadn't been afraid of her at the time and unable to hide herself well, she might have really been fooled... Hehehe, you really can't be careless at all.

What seemed like a sure thing turned out to be a completely unexpected turn of events.

Regardless, she won this round.

The God of Fate has already promised to help her find her husband. Even if they arrive, she will be one step ahead of them in the order of arrival.

Upon realizing this, the smile on the King of Mount Ōe's face became even more alluring, like that of a little girl who had already tasted the candy.

Witnessing the change in her expression, A-Li sighed inwardly. Compared to these Great Jiangshan Demon Kings, she was indeed still a bit inexperienced, and she had fallen behind again this time.

However, she quickly cheered up. Although she was behind, it was only by a hair's breadth and could be completely ignored.

Besides, no one has tasted this third bite of cake yet. As long as she gets to taste it before Ibuki, then the current disadvantage will be irrelevant.

After quietly giving herself a pep talk, Ali sat down in her seat. She looked earnestly at the God of Fate and said, "God of Fate, I entrust my marriage with Chaoyang to you as well!"

"You...you two..."

The silly goddess pointed at Ibuki and Ari, her eyes filled with astonishment. This was the first time she had helped two girls get married at the same time, and their goal was the same.

Is this the legendary 'your husbands are the same person'?

"..."

She raised her hand and rubbed her temples, her usually naive face unusually thoughtful. She took some time to calm down before looking up at Qingnufang.

"Hmm... Qingnvfang, right? I remember you are Asahi's only shikigami, so you also want me to help you and Asahi form a marriage bond?"

"No, I don't need it."

Qingnufang sat quietly to the side, her expression indicating that she would not participate.

This answer relieved the spirit of the marriage.

Thankfully, the young woman didn't need her services.

If Mio knew that she had helped Asahi arrange three more marriages, she would undoubtedly die!

Although the consequences of her helping Shimizu Asahi arrange two marriages were similar, she can only selectively ignore them now.

However, before they were to tie the knot, she carefully gave the two of them a word of advice.

"Let me make this clear first: if you and Asahi are not destined to be together, then I will absolutely not help you. Also, even if you and Asahi have a future together, you cannot tell Mio that I was the one who arranged your marriage."

"Hehehe... Of course, don't worry, Lord Enmusubi, we will definitely keep it a secret."

"Yes, only the four of us know about this!"

After receiving their assurances, the God of Fate put aside all his worries and began to help them tie the knot.

Originally, she didn't have enough divine power to help the two of them get married, since she had already wasted her little remaining divine power not long ago. However, as the Goddess of Fate, getting married was not a drain on her divine power, but a way to restore it. Therefore, she easily saw their future and the fate that bound them together.

Whether it's Ibuki or Ari, their futures are inextricably linked to the rising sun, and that tightly intertwined, inseparable bond further illustrates their future relationship.

The Goddess of Fate was slightly surprised. No wonder they dared to make such a request; it turned out they had been prepared for it all along.

But... that makes sense. If they weren't truly in love, why would they say such things?

Since they are sincere, I'll help them this once.

Having foreseen their future marriage, the deity finally let go of his own thoughts and wholeheartedly arranged their marriage.

Just then, the God of Fate suddenly noticed an unexpected connection.

"This is... Qingnvfang's destiny? How did her destiny end up here?"

Out of curiosity, she glanced at the "Fate" representing the Green Maiden's Room a few more times. Then, she was astonished to discover that the "Fate" of the Green Maiden's Room was also connected with the Morning Sun!

"This...this means that Qingnvfang will also...!?"

"When did it start?"

As if she had discovered something momentous, the Goddess of Fate subconsciously glanced at Qingnvfang, and upon discovering that her fate was also intertwined with that of Qingshui Chaoyang, she gritted her teeth and decided to help Qingnvfang also forge a marriage.

Two people would die, and three people would die too. Since that was the case, why didn't she choose to sacrifice herself and save one more person?

Although Qingnvfang gave up on her choice, the spirit of fate, who inadvertently noticed this, secretly helped her complete everything.

As the Goddess of Marriage, her job is to help people find their perfect match!

And so...

—In today's battle, Qingnvfang emerges victorious! Chapter 425, Section 422: When the Goddess of Fate encounters her own destiny.

After the matchmaker god arranged the marriage for the three of them, this matter came to an end. She only needed to wait for Shimizu Asahi to find Reiko and witness their future, and then she would have completed her purpose for this trip. After that, she could wander around again.

With the marriage successfully arranged, Ibuki squinted at the red string on her wrist, a genuine happiness appearing on her charming and lovely face.

However, after that, she lowered her wrist and closed her eyes, seemingly sensing the changes in her body.

—No change.

Aside from the extra red string in her hand, she couldn't detect any other changes.

Having learned about the power of marriage, she asked the God of Fate why she couldn't sense the presence of her master.

Ali also looked up at her.

After forming a marriage bond, they will develop the ability to communicate with each other, and even if they are separated by the ends of the earth, they can sense each other's presence. But now, they cannot detect the presence of Qing Shui Chao Yang at all.

This puzzled them greatly.

The God of Fate gave this answer to their confusion.

“If I don’t restrict your connections, Asahi will definitely find out what I did immediately. Even if you don’t say anything, he will. It’s fine if he says it to me alone or to you, but if he says it to Mio’s face, I’m dead!”
