Chapter 211: Flaunt Your Love And Die Fast! Another Head-delivering Fool Is Here!
【The Chen Clan’s rule power of minor punishment as a warning seems to have been discovered by many couples in passionate love, so they have treated the Chen Clan as a touchstone, and more and more couples have come to the Chen Clan.
Perhaps the sour stench of dog food attracted some big shot in the heavens; you suddenly lost focus, and your mind was pulled into an illusion shrouded in immortal mist.
In this illusion, you once again saw the Heavenly Lord of Demon Subjugation, and beside the Heavenly Lord of Demon Subjugation appeared a kindly old man, who turned out to be the renowned Matchmaker God.
Because the number of people in the mortal world forming good marriages is rapidly decreasing, more and more people are fated but not destined or get divorced, and all kinds of chaotic relationships between men and women have made this god in charge of marriage very distressed.
After discovering this anomaly at the Chen Clan where the Heavenly Lord of Demon Subjugation is worshiped, the Matchmaker God and the Heavenly Lord of Demon Subjugation have clearly reached some agreement. He specially sent you a dream message, asking you to set up a Marriage Hall for the Matchmaker God in the side hall of the Heavenly Lord of Demon Subjugation Hall, and you will receive the Matchmaker God’s blessing.
Requirements for establishing the Marriage Hall: A consecrated Matchmaker God Statue. Prayer from 50 flawless couples. A red thread and cane with spirituality. 】
Chen Han saw this game prompt and finally understood why the Matchmaker God had hurried over on his own initiative.
The reason is simple: the divorce rate is now too high, growing four times faster than before, while the marriage rate is declining.
A simple set of numbers: last year over 6 million couples got married, and over 3 million couples got divorced.
So, the Matchmaker God is anxious.
Originally, the Matchmaker God was among the gods who received the most incense offerings, but in this situation, his business performance has been declining year by year.
Now he has come to seek help from the Heavenly Lord of Demon Subjugation, placing his statue in the Heavenly Lord of Demon Subjugation Side Hall. If gods are also divided into mountains and factions, what that represents goes without saying.
As for consecrating the Matchmaker God Statue, that is easy. Just repeat the consecration ceremony that was held before for the Statue of the Heavenly Lord of Demon Subjugation. As for prayers from 50 flawless couples, that will take some time and effort.
After all, flawless couples should meet the requirement of not cheating, not flirting, and keeping an appropriate distance from the opposite sex.
Right, in the modern short-video internet era, they also should not constantly scroll through beautiful women and handsome men, at least not in a way that leads their minds to cheat. You cannot be in a relationship while calling people “brother” and “husband” online all day long, right? And you should not be in a relationship and still generously send rewards to pretty women.
In fact, this is the basic requirement of love.
But in today’s society, even such basic requirements seem difficult to meet, because many people already treat these as bonus traits.
During blind dates, many people present “not flirting” and “not interacting with the opposite sex” as their own premium qualities.
You could say these people’s understanding is so low it is outrageous; they do not even realize these are basic conditions.
You could also say that things have gotten so bad that being able to meet these basic requirements has indeed become a bonus.
Some time ago on Douyin, there was a man complaining about the current situation of men and women, saying that in the small county town he knew a group of women who all seemed pretty good at first.
Until one of them cheated one day, and then within a short time this entire group of women all put a hat on their husbands.
One who had a husband got involved with someone who owned a car dealership, and even boldly used a photo of herself holding hands with her lover in front of her husband as her profile picture.
One became a mistress, was beaten up in the street by the wife, then the mistress rose to the position of wife, and afterward again got entangled unclearly with the brother of this newly won husband.
One also had a husband, likewise cheated, and even went back openly with her lover to his hometown.
The man saw that his own girlfriend’s best friends were all like this. He advised her not to hang out with them but she would not listen, so he decisively broke up. Sure enough, within less than half a year, this ex-girlfriend was exposed in her Moments.
The man originally thought he was just unlucky to run into such a circle.
But later in the county he met no fewer than four more groups of women, and not a single group was normal; basically they all had husbands and were also involved with other men outside.
And among them, a large number had husbands who were working on construction sites outside, while the wives at home were having fun. Some directly brought the other man home, and some even brought the child to meet the lover, telling the child that this was their uncle.
The key was that some of these women were well-educated, and their husbands, as foremen, were quite well-off.
Men are like this as well.
According to the man, among the men he knew, no fewer than ten had wives at home and another woman kept outside, and when going out for late-night snacks they almost always brought the one outside, not the wife at home.
He even knew a man who had three Weixin accounts, one woman per Weixin, which was simply unbelievable.
The man directly complained that his worldview was shattered, yet in the comment section many people responded in agreement and resonance, saying there were many such situations in their circles too.
These people complained as well, saying they did not know whether their circle was just too rotten or what, and they simply did not know how to believe in love anymore.
Although this may be a special case, it still shows that the social climate is very bad, so couples who can meet those basic standards are very rare.
These 50 flawless couples are indeed difficult to find.
No wonder the Matchmaker God is anxious.
Even he, as the one taking this task, felt anxious upon seeing this condition.
And as he was thinking this, he suddenly heard a noisy commotion from inside the Chen Clan.
He walked in and saw a pair of tourist couple arguing.
The woman was tugging the man’s ear: “Tell me, why would bird droppings land on you? We just came in and already two splats. Tell me why?”
As this couple was arguing, another man suddenly grabbed a woman by the hair: “Come on, tell me, why are you able to stub your toe and bleed just by walking? Weren’t you acting all fierce, saying if I refused to come that meant I had a guilty conscience? You are a thief crying ‘stop thief,’ aren’t you?”
There were suddenly two lively scenes, and the surrounding tourists grew excited. Just now when these couples came in, their matching outfits made them look like walking dog food dispensers.
Who knew they would become a joke so quickly?
This is probably what they mean by flaunting love dies fast.
The two sudden incidents left the remaining couples a bit confused.
Before coming, they had been very confident, even thinking the rumors about the Chen Clan were exaggerated hype and did not matter.
Some even came with a mocking attitude. They had already cheated and just wanted to make fun of the Chen Clan, sneering at the idea of any misfortune.
Who knew that trying it might lead to their demise.
In this situation, many people subconsciously swallowed and even wanted to quietly pull their partners away.
More and more tourists were gathering to watch, and many were taking photos. If they themselves ended up unlucky, they would be doomed.
However, the more anxious you are, the more likely something goes wrong. One couple had not walked far before they both fell to the ground together, scraping their hands until they bled.
This made the two look at each other awkwardly, then after a moment both let it go and laughed.
Chen Han sighed as he watched couples entangled in fights. His gaze swept over the couples, and most of them looked nervous; very few were guiltless at heart.
This alone was enough to show how serious the problem was.
Among the couples in this Yi Lu Sheng Hua Travel Group, he did not know how many could actually reach the standard of flawless couples.
It is easy not to cheat, but not to flirt and to keep distance from the opposite sex is hard; those who understand, understand.
After all, beautiful women easily attract pursuers and can easily get lost in slick compliments and even enjoy them.
Men with some ability and strength also easily attract the opposite sex, since most women have a preference for the strong.
Some might say that ordinary men and women should be fine, since they do not attract pursuers and the men do not have the strength to attract women.
But many do not realize that such people are often just making a result of weighing pros and cons, because most know they lack the capability and can only muddle through life this way.
Once external factors change, those who understand, understand.
For example, a woman who, after successful cosmetic surgery, feels her husband is no longer worthy and gets a divorce.
A man who, after winning the lottery, immediately cheats and finds a mistress.
There is no shortage of such news, and beyond the news, there are plenty of such examples in reality.
So these people are mostly just repressed by their own calculations in life.
As for those who have been married for many years, there is even less to say. Daily necessities dominate; more of it is familial affection, not romantic feelings. Many are exhausted and full of conflicts, staying together only for the children.
Those without children do not even have scruples. After one argument they clap the dust off and go their separate ways, meeting again only at the civil affairs bureau for divorce.
If you really exclude such cases, it would be easy to find 50 flawless couples across the whole country, but to find 50 among the Chen Clan’s more than 1500 daily tourists is not something that can be done in a short time.
Therefore, they would have to hold a consecration ceremony activity for the Matchmaker God, to attract more couples. Only then would the probability of increasing the number of flawless couples’ prayers be greater.
Thinking of this, Chen Han also went to the Heavenly Lord of Demon Subjugation Hall. To erect the Matchmaker God statue, he first had to clear out a side hall of the Heavenly Lord of Demon Subjugation Hall and turn it into the Marriage Hall.
The key was that the altar and the rules for offerings could not be low, because the Matchmaker God’s divine rank was frighteningly high.
Many people have been influenced by film and television, where the Matchmaker God is portrayed as if he has no status, and even minor gods dare to point fingers at him.
In fact, the Matchmaker God is a high immortal, and his divine office is also at heavenly lord level.
To put it another way.
Purely in terms of wish power and incense: all relationships are under the Matchmaker God’s control; his wish power and incense are not something other gods can compare to.
When he entered the Heavenly Lord of Demon Subjugation Hall, his aunt-grandmother had just finished guiding a tourist. Seeing him come, she respectfully stepped forward and greeted him: “Patriarch.”
It was obvious that his aunt-grandmother’s complexion was getting better and better; the little old woman’s steps were steadier. After all, his uncle brought this elder a serving of medicinal cuisine every day.
To be honest, the operation of the Heavenly Lord Hall here really could not do without this aunt-grandmother.
When Chen Han saw her, he said, “Aunt-grandmother, I plan to set up a Matchmaker God Statue in the side hall. When the time comes we will hold a consecration ceremony for the Matchmaker God. Please bring people to handle it.”
“Alright, I will bring people to handle it.” Aunt-grandmother accepted this task. The Heavenly Lord of Demon Subjugation has several side halls, all of which are empty.
As for why there are so many side halls, naturally there were statues there originally. As for which gods, Chen Han did not know; after wars and special events, those statues disappeared.
Now it is appropriate to set up a Matchmaker God Statue again.
Chen Han then discussed the Matchmaker God Statue with his aunt-grandmother. The main thing was to leave space in the statue’s hand for a cane, because there was still the third requirement: a cane and red thread with spirituality.
At that time they would need to place a spiritual cane.
As for what counts as a red thread and cane with spirituality, he had already thought of it: the old elm tree.
Since the game system had given this task, it could not be impossible to complete; there had to be channels to do so.
So, using branches from the old elm tree to make the cane, and bark to make the red thread, should do. If that was not enough, he could put them into the artifact refining furnace for refinement, which would definitely work.
After leaving the Heavenly Lord of Demon Subjugation Hall, he went straight to the Three Old Elm Trees and found many tourists taking photos there, so it was clearly not a good time to cut branches.
After all, the Three Old Elm Trees have identity plaques, so it was not suitable to cut them in public.
So he had to return to the Chen Clan, and unexpectedly saw two more couples arguing on the way.
“Tell me, why do you keep choking just from drinking a bottle of water?”
…
“Tell me, why are there so many contacts in your mobile phone?”
…
The arguments of these two couples again attracted tourists around to film, making things very lively.
People who had seen the Chen Clan’s couple travel group promotion online had thought it was just a gimmick; they had not expected someone to actually bring such a group to the Chen Clan.
It was just that, at present, the situation did not look optimistic.
When Chen Han walked back to his own courtyard, he ran into another couple physically fighting, and the man’s face had already been scratched all over.
The woman shouted angrily, “Bastard, you jerk, you have utterly humiliated me. You actually got together with my best friend. If I had not dragged you over to the Chen Clan this time, would I never have known?”
They were fighting so fiercely that a tourism police officer rushed over and separated them. Because of insufficient manpower, people from the Demon Subduing Hall came to help.
They had no choice. Huang Xin had taken people to the county to handle the Liangmei Medical case.
Seeing that tourists around were filming again, Chen Han knew this matter would definitely be on the trending searches tomorrow. Then they could take the opportunity to publicize the Matchmaker God Statue consecration activity.
By that time, attention would definitely be high, and once the activity started, more couples could be attracted.
Thinking this, he called Xiao Yu over. As the junior sister walked in, she said in surprise, “Senior brother, you know, right? Many of the couples in that Yi Lu Sheng Hua Travel Group have left in embarrassment. Our Chen Clan is probably going to become a holy land for emotional tests.”
Chen Han smiled and said, “So I plan to set up a Matchmaker God Statue by the Heavenly Lord of Demon Subjugation Hall. You make a promotional video. These unlucky couples will definitely be hot tomorrow, and we can use this chance to promote.”
“Alright.” Xiao Yu agreed, but kept staring at her senior brother for a long time.
“Junior sister, why are you staring at me like that?” Chen Han asked, a bit speechless.
“To see whether my senior brother has had any bad luck,” Xiao Yu suddenly said.
“???” Chen Han’s face was full of confusion.
What the heck?
What bad luck would he have?
Xiao Yu left, looking very happy.
Time passed.
By night, more and more videos of quarreling couples were uploaded to Douyin. Even though Chen Han had expected that some couples in this first tour group would test the rules with their own bodies, he had not expected the number to be even higher than he imagined.
As these videos were uploaded, more and more people saw what was happening at the Chen Clan, and the matter began to ferment.
A car drove into Shangyuan Village and stopped.
Chen Xiang got out of the car, and his first glance was toward the Chen Clan, eyes filled with urgency.
Just as his uncle said, the mess caused by that bastard Chen Lin had already started to spread. If this continued, public opinion would erupt.
So they really needed to obtain the Scar Removal Cream Formula quickly to deal with the coming storm.
On the other hand, it was good that Chen Lin was finished this time; with one less competitor, if he made another contribution now, his status in the company and family would be higher.
He just did not know how the evidence of that unlucky fool Chen Lin ended up in the hands of the police. Could it be that he had carried it there himself and somehow had it fall into their hands?
In any case, he was an idiot.
Chen Xiang looked into Shangyuan Village again. To meet the Chen Family Head and negotiate for the Scar Removal Cream Formula, going directly might be time-consuming and laborious, so he thought he could use a middleman.
He had found out that the internet celebrity named Ming Di had a different relationship with the Chen Family Head, and the industries in Shangyuan Village had been invested in by him.
And an internet celebrity who live streams product promotion every day is definitely greedy for money. Give him some intermediary commission, and he would eagerly run errands.
