After the meal, the king arranged for them to rest in the palace.

Ye Yunyang said to Wukong: "Go and check the situation among the people first to see if it is consistent with what the king said."

Wukong agreed, turned around and disappeared in mid-air. After leaving for only half an hour, he reappeared in the room out of thin air.

"Master, according to my observation, now every household is filled with boys, there are no girls at all, and the only women are older women."

Bajie made a sarcastic remark: "In a few years, when all these women are gone, this country of Huayu will completely become a country of men."

Ye Yunyang thought for a while, stood up and said, "Let's go out with me to check."

"yes."

The four masters and apprentices quickly left the palace and came to a field. The wheat seedlings were lush and green and growing gratifyingly. They would be harvested in a few months.

Ye Yunyang casually took out a spherical magic weapon from the system and threw it on the ground. The magic weapon quickly sank into the soil and floated up again after a while.

The ball has not changed, it is still white and moist all over.

Ye Yunyang frowned: "There is no problem with the land, and there is no problem with these food crops."

Bajie guessed: "Is it possible... that the king is lying?"

"That's not true. The king is a mortal with limited abilities. His suspicion may be wrong."

The four masters and apprentices left the field and went to the village.

There were a few young and strong laborers building houses, a few children were jumping and playing in the open space in front of the village, and a few ladies were chatting while sewing clothes. Everything looked normal.

Ye Yunyang grabbed a handful of fine sand from the system and threw it in the air. The fine sand floated in the wind and soon covered the entire village.

After a while, the sand flew back again and fell on Ye Yunyang's hand.

Bajie and Wukong gathered around: "Master, how are you doing?"

The sand is still white and transparent, unchanged.

Ye Yunyang shook his head: "These people are all in good health and there is nothing wrong with them."

Wukong was so anxious that he scratched his head and scratched his head: "There is no problem with food, there is no problem with people, there is simply nowhere to start!"

The more he thought about it, the angrier he became, and he stamped his feet violently: "Old man from the land, get out of here!"

Soon, an old man with gray hair emerged from the ground. He was stooped and leaning on a cane.

"Great Sage, did you call me?"

"Let me ask you, what's weird here? People all over the country only give birth to boys, not girls."

Tutu looked confused and thought for a long time before finally speaking.

"I have never heard of what the Great Sage said."

"You are the landowner here, how could you not have heard of it? Don't deceive me, Old Sun, otherwise..."

The old man from the land trembled in fright: "Great Sage Mingjian, how dare I deceive you?"

At this moment, there was a sudden movement in the village not far away, and the village chief led everyone out in a mighty manner.

Ye Yunyang said: "Let's go and take a look."

Wukong quickly followed, turned and said to the land: "You go back first, I will call you if anything happens."

The Duke of Tutu breathed a sigh of relief and finally managed to deal with the monkey, and was so frightened that he broke into a cold sweat.

The four masters and apprentices followed the villagers all the way to the gate of the palace.

A lot of people have gathered here, the crowd is excited, and they are shouting something in unison.

Wukong casually grabbed an old man and asked, "What happened?"

The old man wondered: "Are you from other places? We have a big food problem here. We are asking the king to find a solution quickly. If we can't give birth to a girl again, we will have no descendants."

Ye Yunyang was in a heavy heart. The monks were compassionate and could not bear to see this kind of thing.

"For the present plan, we can only go to heaven."

Wukong also reacted: "Yes, no one knows this kind of thing better than the Jade Emperor."

The four masters and disciples walked against the wind and soon arrived at the Heavenly Palace. When they walked outside the Nantian Gate, they were stopped by several heavenly soldiers and generals.

"Who is it? Stop."

Wukong pushed him away: "Open your eyes and show me clearly who I, Old Sun, am."

The heavenly soldiers and generals immediately changed their attitude and bowed their hands respectfully: "It turns out to be the Great Sage."

"My master wants to see the Jade Emperor, so don't block the way."

Several heavenly soldiers did not move: "Great Sage, the Jade Emperor is not free right now and doesn't see anyone."

Wukong didn't listen to these bullshit. He defeated several heavenly soldiers and generals with three strikes, five strikes, and five strikes. Just as he was about to walk in, another monster with horns on his head rushed out.

"Keeper God?"

Wukong smiled. This Jade Emperor was really cowardly. He was afraid that people would find him, so he actually let the gatekeeper guard him here.

"Great Sage, I'm sorry, I'm just following your orders."

Although the gatekeeper has great magic power, he is not good enough in front of Sun Wukong. After only a few dozen moves, he was beaten to the ground by Wukong and could not get up for a long time.

The four masters and apprentices swaggered into the main hall, where there was singing and dancing. The Jade Emperor was sitting in the main hall eating and drinking, looking very comfortable.

Wukong was confused: "Old Jade Emperor! Is this what you are busy with?"

The Jade Emperor was so frightened that his wine glass overturned.

"Why did you get in?"

"The gatekeeper can't beat me, so let's just come in. You, the Jade Emperor, are really hateful. You actually lied to us. I think you're not busy, you're basically hiding from us!"

The Jade Emperor couldn't afford to offend the monkey, so he had to speak softly.

"Nothing, Ye Yunyang, why did you come here today?"

Ye Yunyang clasped his hands together: "The people of Huayu Kingdom have been unable to give birth to girls for more than ten years. The Jade Emperor knows the reason."

The Jade Emperor remained silent for a long time, looking hesitant.

Wukong shouted in the air and rushed over: "Is it your fault?"

The Jade Emperor was afraid of being beaten, so he quickly spoke.

"This has nothing to do with me. This is all the fault of the people of Huayu Kingdom."

Wukong didn't believe it at all and had already taken out the golden cudgel, but was stopped by Ye Yunyang.

"Listen to him first."

The Jade Emperor held up his crooked hat: "You don't know that the people of Huayu Kingdom signed a contract with monsters a hundred years ago."

Wukong asked: "What contract?"

The Jade Emperor sighed, obviously very embarrassed.

"Huayu Country is a small country with conservative and backward folk customs. Everyone wants to have boys but not girls, so they signed a contract with a nearby monster to ensure that they have boys."

Wukong still didn't believe it: "Why haven't I heard that there are such kind-hearted monsters in the world? Don't lie to me."

The Jade Emperor was afraid of being beaten, so he kept saying: "It's true, it's true. The holy monk is here, will I still deceive you?"

Ye Yunyang knew that things were not that simple.

"The monster doesn't want anything in return, but just wants to protect the villagers? I'm afraid it's not that simple, right?"

"The holy monk's guess is correct. The monster ensures that the people will have boys. On the surface, it is good to the people, but it secretly seizes the female Yin power of Huayu Kingdom and uses it to improve its own cultivation."

Wukong asked: "You have just ignored me for so many years?"
