Sun Wukong's Savior

This middle-aged woman has a black mole on the corner of her mouth; she's dressed like a typical matchmaker.

At this moment, several girls who had finished their worship heard the old woman's words and stopped to stand. Their eyes were filled with affection as they looked at Erlang Shen standing there, as if they were the ones who would be chosen by Erlang Shen.

Erlang Shen was completely stunned after hearing these words. His eyes widened, and he stared at the old woman in front of him with a look of astonishment on his face.

"Judging from your expression, young master, you're unmarried. Come with me to the estate and see if there's a girl you could get along with."

Before Erlang Shen could answer, the old woman, assuming he was unmarried, even helped Erlang Shen decide whether or not to go to the village to take a look.

"No, thank you, ma'am. I'm married. I'm just traveling and happened to pass by. I heard that the temple here is very efficacious, so I thought I'd come in and pay my respects."

Erlang Shen then realized what was happening and quickly refused the old woman.

"You're married. Since you're already married, why are you running around like this? You're lying and trying to deceive your aunt."

This is the nonsense that this old woman spouted after hearing these words, clearly demonstrating her absolute disbelief in God.

"Oh, ma'am, you have to believe me, I really am engaged, I wouldn't lie to you."

Erlang Shen was left speechless, both amused and exasperated by the old woman's words.

"You say you're married, then tell me where you're from, where you live, and what your surname is."

The old woman insisted on her earlier decision, refusing to believe that Erlang Shen was married, and even started checking Erlang Shen's household registration.

"I'm from Guan River Estuary, my home is right by the river, and my surname is Yang."

Without a second thought, Erlang Shen revealed the truth. However, after he finished speaking, he realized that what he said was very wrong, but it was too late to say anything then.

"You, a native of Guan River Estuary, still live by the river, and your surname is Yang? Are you trying to Erlang Shen)?"

"Auntie, the fellow in front of you is really Erlang Shen! The Erlang Shen, True Lord of Manifested Sainthood, who is famous throughout Guan River Estuary!"

Hearing this conversation from inside the temple, and hearing Erlang Shen's slightly embarrassed voice, Sun Wukong chuckled inwardly and silently gave a response to the old woman outside who was still questioning Erlang Shen.

"I really am Erlang Shen, but would you believe me if I told you?"

Upon hearing the old woman's words, Erlang Shen couldn't help but mutter a curse in his heart.

"Either you honestly reveal your true identity, or you obediently go with the old lady to the village and see if there are any girls you like."

The old woman directly exposed Erlang Shen's lie, which was no different from the truth. Erlang Shen had given his real address, but in the eyes of these ordinary people, he was just a handsome ordinary person. After all, it was very difficult for ordinary people to see gods; sometimes, an ordinary person might not even see a god once in their entire life.

How could I possibly encounter a deity during this Buddhist worship session today?

"Oh, no need, ma'am. I'm just traveling around. I heard this temple here is quite magical, and I'd like to go in and pay my respects. If you just drag me away like this, how am I supposed to pay my respects later?"

Erlang Shen refused again. The old woman wanted to take him to her village to find a girl for marriage, but said she had other things to do.

"What's the point of going on trips or talking about those beautiful young women? Are these things as important as your life's most important matter?"

"Judging from your appearance, you must be of marriageable age by now, yet you still don't have a married woman. You're a real failure. My son, when he was your age, had already married and given me a grandson."

"Stop dawdling and come with me to our village to find a girl who's suitable for you. If there really isn't one, then I'll let you go, okay?"

The old woman wouldn't let it go and tried to drag Erlang Shen to their village. After she said those words to Erlang Shen, more and more beautiful young women surrounded the two of them, and each of them looked at Erlang Shen with the gaze of a hunter looking at its prey.

Unexpectedly, Erlang Shen, True Lord of Manifested Sainthood, the fearless war god of Guan River Estuary, became like a mouse before a cat after meeting the gazes of these women, his eyes filled with evasiveness.

Back then, Erlang Shen was full of vigor, vanquishing demons and monsters. Today, with the help of heavenly soldiers descending from the heavens, he has forced Sun Wukong into such a predicament. However, he never expected that on this day, he would also become prey in the eyes of some mortal women.

He wanted to use his Law Power to escape, but his mission was not yet complete, and he could not let Sun Wukong get away.

However, just as Erlang Shen was thinking about how to deal with the current situation, the old woman grabbed one of Erlang Shen arms and pulled him towards her village, ignoring everything Erlang Shen said.

At this point, the old woman had made up her mind. No matter what Erlang Shen said, she would take Erlang Shen to her village so that he could meet the unmarried girls.

Erlang Shen dared not forcefully break free, as doing so might hurt the old woman. He had no choice but to watch helplessly as she dragged him away.

"Alright, alright, I'll try to be as fast as I can. Whatever girl I see later, I'll reject them all, then rush back here. Maybe I can still catch the last believer leave."

"Okay, let's do it that way."

At this point, the person had already thought it through in their mind. After reviewing the plan, they secretly resolved to confirm and proceed accordingly.

However, after being led away by Da Ning for a short while, he was about to experience his nightmare. The young women who had been watching from the sidelines gathered around him, asking him all sorts of questions. Some of the bolder ones even started touching him.

Erlang Shen was truly suffering. If he wanted to resist, it would be easy, but it would hurt these ordinary people. If he fought back, and someone grabbed his hand, the girl who grabbed his hand could make him take responsibility.

If this girl dares to say that he should take responsibility, then he will be completely trapped here today. Not only will he fail to capture Sun Wukong, but he may also have to stay in this village and take responsibility for the girl.
