The doorman smiled bitterly and said, "Master Tang僧 is indeed impressive, guessing it right away. Indeed, that man seemed perfect in every way, but who would have thought he was a monster in disguise... On his wedding night with the third miss, the man got drunk and accidentally revealed his true form. Everyone focused and saw... this guy was curvy, actually... a female monster in disguise!"

Tang Sen: "..."

White Dragon: "..."

Sun Wukong, sweating profusely, said, "A woman? If she's a female monster, why did she come to marry your third miss? What's the point of a marriage between two women?"

The doorman, with a bitter face, said, "That's exactly the problem. If it were a male monster, the boss might have勉强 accepted it. After all, a monster can still produce an heir for the Gao family. But this is a lesbian monster. What good does it do to have her as an in-law? She's occupying the third miss, and we can't bring in another man. This will surely make the Gao family extinct."

Tang Sen and his companions all sweat-dropped: Hey, the Gao family seems to be missing the point.

The doorman continued, "Now, that female monster has been keeping the third miss under house arrest on the rooftop for half a year, not allowing anyone to enter. We've called the police, but they can't do anything. We've also spent money to hire many powerful monks and Taoists to capture her, but they were all defeated. Now, our boss is really worried... If it takes a few years to save the third miss, she'll be old and no longer attractive. Who would want to marry into the Gao family then? This will surely make the Gao family extinct."

This is indeed a headache. Everyone sweat-dropped, realizing that the Gao family was completely missing the point.

Tang Sen couldn't help but ask, "Is your miss named Gao Cuilan?"

"Ah, that's right!" The doorman was surprised, "Master Tang僧 is truly impressive, able to guess the name of our miss."

"Cough, this wasn't guessed," Tang Sen thought: This matches up. This is the shut-in girl who posted on the website asking me to save her. She is my follower, and I must save her.

The elevator dinged, and they arrived at the 50th floor. The doorman led Tang Sen and his companions into the general manager's office, where a small old man sat behind a desk. He was the boss of the company, Gao Taigong.

The doorman introduced them in a low voice, and Gao Taigong frowned, looking at Tang Sen and his companions with a suspicious expression. Their appearance was too outrageous, not at all like masters who could subdue monsters. However, despite his doubts, Gao Taigong still had the demeanor of a big company boss and stood up to greet them politely, "Master Tang僧, thank you for coming all this way. Please sit down and have a cup of tea."

Tang Sen sat down as instructed and exchanged a few polite words with Gao Taigong.

Gao Taigong recounted the story of the monster, which was similar to what the doorman had said. He sighed, "I've already invited several monks and Taoists, but none of them could defeat the monster. Master Tang僧, please be cautious and careful, lest you also fall victim to the monster."

Out of caution and humility, Tang Sen didn't respond rashly. Instead, Sun Wukong took over and laughed, "Don't worry, don't worry. I, Old Sun, am skilled at subduing monsters. No matter how powerful the monster is, I will make her surrender and return your daughter to you. However, we don't work for free. A fee for our efforts is necessary."

"The fee will not be short of a single copper coin," Gao Taigong said, though he didn't have much confidence in Tang Sen and his companions, he was still polite.

"In any case, let's first test the monster's strength," Tang Sen said, "Wukong, don't rush in recklessly. Don't forget what happened when you were tricked by the Second God. If this monster is as powerful as the Second God, you might fall into a trap again."

Sun Wukong pouted, "That's so troublesome!"

At that moment, the door to the general manager's office opened, and the doorman led another group of people in. The leader was a man in his thirties, wearing a bright yellow martial arts suit, walking with a dragon-like gait, looking quite imposing. He held his head high, his nose pointed at everyone, exuding an arrogant and overbearing attitude that was truly annoying. Behind him were about a dozen young men, who looked like his disciples.

The man walked up to Gao Taigong and laughed, "Are you the one looking for someone to subdue the monster, Gao Taigong? I am here to do just that."

Gao Taigong, seeing the man's attitude, thought he might be a skilled expert and bowed respectfully, "May I ask who you are?"

The man laughed loudly, "I am the leader of the Golden Wheel Sect, the All-Knowing and All-Powerful God!"

Upon hearing this, Gao Taigong's face changed, and Tang Sen's face also changed.

Sun Wukong, not very familiar with the present world, frowned and pulled on Tang Sen's sleeve, whispering, "Who is this guy? Why do you both look so strange?"

Tang Sen whispered back, "The Golden Wheel Sect is a cult. The leader claims to be the All-Knowing and All-Powerful God, deceiving and tricking believers, making them believe in him and taking their money. He brainwashes and controls them, causing many innocent people to lose everything... This evil cult has been shut down in the Tang Dynasty, but I didn't expect him to come to the Ussang Kingdom to develop."

Sun Wukong said, "Oh," and continued in a low voice, "Although it's a cult, as long as he can deceive believers, he might have some divine power..."

Tang Sen, thinking of his own title as the guardian god of a shut-in girl, nodded and said, "Maybe. Although the Golden Wheel Sect is evil and shameless, it has deceived many ignorant people to follow them blindly. This 'All-Knowing and All-Powerful God' has a few followers, and he might have some divine power, just like me."

While the two were whispering, Gao Taigong, who actually didn't like the cult, still had to be polite to avoid offending them and having them secretly harm his company. He said, "You are the All-Knowing and All-Powerful God. If you can help me subdue the monster, I will reward you generously."

"Hey!" Sun Wukong was unhappy, "Old man, that's not fair. We came first, why are you inviting someone else? The monster can only be subdued by us, not by some fake god."

The All-Knowing and All-Powerful God glanced at them, his eyes sweeping over Tang Sen, Sun Wukong, and White Dragon, and completely ignoring Hug-a-Bear. He laughed contemptuously, "You are also here to subdue the monster? Ha ha ha... Don't make me laugh. A young man hugging a toy bear, a half-grown girl, and a weak lady... Ha ha ha... You'll be caught by the monster instead of subduing it."

Sun Wukong was furious and reached for the golden hoop rod in his ear, but Tang Sen pulled her back, hiding her behind him, and signaled her to be quiet. Then he looked up and said, "All-Knowing and All-Powerful God, shouldn't you be focusing on the development of the Golden Wheel Sect instead of coming here to make some extra money by subduing monsters?"

The All-Knowing and All-Powerful God laughed, "I don't take money for subduing monsters. I do it to save people and help them out of their suffering. Gao Taigong, if I help you subdue the monster and save your daughter, you don't need to give me any money. Just publicize this to the media."

Gao Taigong was not happy, thinking: If the media finds out I have ties to a cult, how can I still do business?

Tang Sen, however, thought: So this guy is here to expand his influence and gain more followers. More followers mean more divine power. This guy is indeed like me, a human who has become a god. But no, I am upright and honest, not relying on deception to gain followers, and I won't cause my followers to lose everything. I am not the same as the cult. As a god, I am a benevolent god, while he is an evil god. We are not the same kind.

Gao Taigong looked at Tang Sen with hope, wishing he would quickly subdue the monster so he wouldn't have to involve the cult. But seeing how young Tang Sen was, and his companions being a girl and a lady, he found them unreliable. If they failed to subdue the monster and instead harmed his daughter... he was hesitant.

The All-Knowing and All-Powerful God, who was skilled at deception, saw Gao Taigong's hesitation and immediately said, "Subduing monsters should be done by the most capable. I will demonstrate the power of the All-Knowing and All-Powerful God to put Gao Taigong at ease."

He sneered at Tang Sen and his companions, then walked to the center of the office. There was a marble coffee table, solid stone, probably weighing several hundred pounds. He extended one hand, easily grabbed one corner of the table, and shouted, "Lift!"

The table rose in response, lifted by one hand. He seemed to have more strength to spare, looking very relaxed. He then extended his other hand, grabbed a leather sofa, and lifted it easily.

Holding the table with one hand and the sofa with the other, he still looked relaxed, "Gao Taigong, see my strength. Do I have the ability to subdue monsters?"

Gao Taigong was delighted, "Yes, yes, yes! Master, you are truly skilled."
