Chapter 887: Stick Like Glue
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
In Lakshmi City’s music clans, the highest positions were occupied by women. Even the god of Lakshmi City was a female goddess.
If not counting the one man outside, the men in the bamboo forest were the first batch that Li Yunmu had seen. But what was different from his expectations was that in the matriarchal society of Lakshmi City, the position of men and women did not follow his expectations.
“It is only natural that it is different. The probability of giving birth to a girl in the twelve clans of Lakshmi City is very high, while boys are very rare. With women in excess, the authority would naturally belong to women. As for the men of music clans, they are considered rare treasures, so they only need to cultivate usually,” Yu Rou said with a smile.
While listening to her words, Li Yunmu’s expression turned strange. It was completely different from his imagination. The reason why Lakshmi City was a matriarchal society was because of the disproportionate sex ratio of the children born.
Li Yunmu looked again at the men sitting in the pavilion and playing instruments, and jealousy took root in his heart.
The men of music clans were considered to be rare treasures…
After passing through the bamboos, they reached a palace and heard the laughing of a few women standing outside it.
From their voices, Li Yunmu immediately became aware that Brunhilda and Liu Bailing were present there. Before he could enter though, the two women in the palace already detected him and the holy daughter.
“Younger Sister Bailing, my devil husband has come and is standing just outside the palace.”
“Elder Sister Brunhilda surprisingly calls her husband a devil. The relation between the two of you seems somewhat weird. Shouldn’t the husband and wife be respectful to each other?”
“You don’t understand. Once you marry this man, he turns into a different person. All men are pigs.”
When Li Yunmu, who stood outside the palace, heard the two talking about him without the slightest apprehension, his expression darkened. Brunhilda was very different compared to when she had just arrived at Lakshmi City. Previously, when they were in the Land of Ice, she was aware of her identity as an ancient goddess and had to treat every matter earnestly.
But now, she had learned to have fun and changed greatly.
Yu Rou standing by Li Yunmu’s side laughed secretly and entered the palace.
“Ancient Goddess Brunhilda and Younger Sister Liu Bailing knew that lord has arrived and still kept discussing you in such a loud voice. Lord’s face turned completely dark outside.”
“Hmph!”
Li Yunmu snorted, then directly entered the palace. Once he went inside, he saw Brunhilda sitting on the main seat while facing a mirror. Liu Bailing was sitting behind her and using gouache.
Yu Rou sat down on an opposite chair to mind her own business, but still said, “You two are too idle. At such a moment, you still have time to smear gouache.”
Brunhilda, who was sitting on the main seat observing herself in the mirror, said in a calm voice, “Then what should we do? Since you came, then sit anywhere Yunmu. Younger Sister Bailing is still arranging my makeup.”
Li Yunmu lightly coughed, then sat down in front of Yu Rou. Once he did so, he looked at Liu Bailing drumming gouache. Within a short period, she had changed a lot. When he saw her previously, she was at the Pipa Clan, a holy daughter who had recently taken up her position and was fighting against four young masters.
At that time, Liu Bailing was in dire straits and completely depressed because of her clan’s crisis. At that time, in Li Yunmu’s eyes, she was beautiful, but she also seemed extremely pathetic.
However, the Liu Bailing who had come to reside in Lakshmi City had much calmer temperament, and her extremely beautiful face seemed to be shining.
“You two are quite unbridled. You discovered me standing outside and still dared to say those words,” Li Yunmu said with his eyes focused on the two beauties.
When Liu Bailing heard him, the corners of her mouth curled to form a smile. Brunhilda, whose entire face was blocked by the mirror, laughed melodiously.
“Why can’t we speak? Oh right, weren’t you the sixth ancestor of Asura City? How come you suddenly came running to Lakshmi City? Asura won’t notice your disappearance?” she asked with suspicion.
Liu Bailing and Yu Rou were slightly startled by her words. Previously, when Brunhilda had arrived, she had only said that Li Yunmu was hiding in Asura City but didn’t clarify his position. Both of them thus believed that Li Yunmu was using the identity of an ordinary person. After all, if the distance between two ancient gods was small, they would be able to sense each other.
That was why they hadn’t expected that Li Yunmu would surprisingly become the sixth ancestor of Asura City. The fact that he was undiscovered despite getting close to Asura, however, spoke of a frightening ability.
When Li Yunmu heard Brunhilda’s question, he recalled Yu Rou’s words about the martial competition. His expression darkened, and he said with an icy tone, “If I hadn’t come, who knows if my wife would be taken away by the winner of the competition.”
When he said that, Yu Rou covered her mouth and laughed. Liu Bailing also put down the gouache in her hand and revealed a faint smile.
Brunhilda, who was sitting on the main seat, looked at herself in the mirror, then put it away in satisfaction. After that, she turned around and looked at Li Yunmu.
“So what? I had to do this in order to pull the five ancient gods to help Lakshmi. If you want to blame anyone, you can blame the four ancestors.”
“If they hadn’t secretly colluded with the five ancient gods to deal with Asura, how would the five ancient gods have learned that Lakshmi had suffered injuries? The first thing the five ancient gods did after returning to Lakshmi City was to deal with the ancient goddess Lakshmi.
“If I hadn’t rushed over in time, she would’ve already disappeared. Lakshmi City and even Younger Sister Bailing would have become captives as well.”
Li Yunmu calmly listened to her words without saying anything. His originally perfect plan was completely destroyed by the collaboration between the four ancestors and the five ancient gods. If not for them, everything would have been in his control.
He then look at Brunhilda and was shocked for a while. “Who are you pretending to be?”
Brunhilda wore a white cotton skirt which showed off her curvy figure. Her delicate lips were painted red, and her slightly raised corners of the eyes made her look like a charming fox.
This appearance wasn’t original.
Brunhilda slightly raised the corners of her mouth and said with a smile, “I am pretending to be Pipa Clan’s first holy daughter. With this identity, if I reveal my ancient goddess status, Lakshmi city’s crisis will be resolved. But this Pipa Clan’s first holy daughter is really beautiful. It is so to the point that the five ancient gods went crazy upon seeing her. They are even willing to ally with us to obtain me.”
The person with a gorgeous smile which could ruin a country in front of Li Yunmu was Brunhilda.
Upon seeing her fully, even he was left gaping for a moment. Brunhilda looked extremely charming while pretending to be the deceased ancestor of Pipa Clan. Each of her frowns and smiles could charm a person’s heart, which was simply terrifying. It was like she was a woman of Deva Clan.
“You are an ancient goddess, so the five ancient gods should be weary of you, so why would ever ally to deal with you?”
