Chapter 883: Great ServiceTranslator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Early morning the next day, Li Yunmu still hadn’t come out of his tent when Yan Xiu arrived at his gate. As the supervisor dispatched by Morrow Clan, he understood the relations.h.i.+p between the four great clans and Li Yunmu. But even so, when he arrived, there were two girls at the prime of their youth wearing clothes made of hemp with fair skin and lively eyes following behind him.
Seeing them made people want to cherish them.
The young girls were completely ordinary, and they didn’t have any extra body parts like the people of Asura City nor a hint of cultivation. The faces of the girls were filled with smiles, and they were holding spirit fruits and wine filled with rich energy. Upon coming into the tent, they placed everything on top of the table and moved to stand by Li Yunmu’s side, who was lying on the chair as if he didn’t have any bones in his body.
Li Yunmu looked at the young girls and felt his heart twitch as if it had received some sort of shock. The unlimited spring at the first light of morning… Anyone who saw such a thing wouldn’t be able to control themselves.
Although Li Yunmu was a master G.o.d level expert, he wasn’t a saint without any desire or cravings. Refraining from watching the springtime which stood at his sides, he raised his head and looked at Yan Xiu standing in front of him.
“Supervisor Yan Xiu, what are you doing? By delivering these young girls early in the morning, are you trying to honey trap me?”
When Yan Xiu heard his words, there wasn’t the slightest change in his expression.
“Yesterday, sixth ancestor arrived at the ore mountain after a long and hard trek,” he said slowly. “I thought you would like a proper rest, so I only called these girls early this morning to serve you.”
Li Yunmu looked at Yan Xiu’s fawning smile, and the smile at the corner of his mouth became even brighter. It could be a.s.sumed that Yan Xiu had talked with Jiao Xiu, so according to reason, the four clans should already know about the matter of the fifteen G.o.ds disappearing without a trace. They would most probably then push the blame on G.o.d father.
Yan Xiu did not seem to have obtained a clear command from Jiao Xiu and was being careful. There wasn’t the slightest bit of neglect on his part in treatment of Li Yunmu as the ancestor, but he didn’t make any mention of handing over the ore mountain, so it could be seen that he was dragging out the matter.
Li Yunmu took a sparkling spirit fruit from the hand of one of the young girls standing beside him and swallowed it before saying, “Then I have bothered supervisor Yan Xiu for making these arrangements so carefully. Your service is really good. However, this ancestor came to patrol the resource land and take it over.”
Once the words ‘take over’ were said, the smile on Yan Xiu’s face went stiff. After a moment of silence, he slowly spoke with a hint of respect in his tone.
“There’s no need to worry about it, lord can rest properly first. Afterwards, whenever you are ready, I will take your distinguished self to a stroll around the ore mountain.
“With such beauties serving you, lord should first rest. These beauties belong to my personal collection, and they come from mortal tribes subordinate to Asura City. Each and every one of them is tender and delicate and can evoke anyone’s desire.”
Yan Xiu raised his head after speaking and looked at Li Yunmu with the corner of his lips trembling as if saying ‘do you understand’. Li Yunmu, who was lying on the couch, gave a profound smile, then hugged the beauties standing at his sides.
Upon seeing this, Yan Xiu withdrew from the tent with a smile. Once he left, the smile on his face disappeared without a trace, and he proceeded toward another tent with a serene expression on his face.
From Li Yunmu’s tent, the sounds of laughing echoed. They were mixed with the crisp voices of the young girls, which made Yan Xiu’s legs go soft.
His face was expressionless, but he was extremely angry in his heart. The girls were carefully selected by him from mortal tribes, and each and every one of them was top quality. Originally, he had left them to slowly enjoy them someday, but who could have known that Chen Xiu would come to ore mountain.
Not only did he threaten the resources which had always earned him a hefty profit, but he also had to hand over the mortal girls from his collection. It was simply ridiculous. He was also a G.o.d, but because of the difference in their status, Yan Xiu had to be extremely respectful.
Only after sacrificing something valuable can another valuable thing be obtained.
The land of tenderness was sufficient to drown Chen Xiu, which would temporarily stabilize the situation. Other things had to wait until the patriarch gave a clear command.
Yan Xiu entered his tent, then picked up the jade tile and infused some divine power into it. The divine power sunk into the jade tile without producing any reaction.
No reaction.
In the meantime, the sounds of laughter came from outside the tent. The young girls were only left with a pair of undergarments, revealing their lily-white skin. Li Yunmu was lying among them with a smile at the corners of his mouth.
The girls did not see when a shadow appeared on the ground and rushed out of the tent. After flying outside, it went toward the ore mountain and penetrated into the deepest parts of it.
There were veins of ore zigzagging through the mountain. Every vein had some powerful labourer working on it with an iron hoe. Some labourers had dug out a pile of ore and placed it in the trunk behind their body, which they took to the mouth of the cavity to hand over to the supervisor from time to time.
While flitting past, the black shadow saw the supervisor at the mouth of the cave glance at the ore in the trunk and nod. After the labourer returned to the cave, he surveyed his surroundings and placed the majority of the ore in another iron bucket.
Li Yunmu, who had transformed into a black shadow, understood why Yan Xiu was using beautiful women to stall him. Even though he was already a G.o.d, he was embezzling the ore for his own use for a long time.
When Li Yunmu thought about it, he understood that even becoming a G.o.d depended upon whether the person belonged to the clan patriarch’s familial lineage or not. If they belonged to the patriarch’s family, then they would naturally have everything and wouldn’t need to struggle or fight.
As for the descendants of other elders, they didn’t have a huge amount of resources to support them and could only struggle to obtain them slowly.
First, Yan Xiu had to contest the power of belief to become a G.o.d, then, after doing that, he had to struggle in the resource land. It included becoming a supervisor to embezzle resources for his own use, since they could then be used to exchange for other things in the clan.
Li Yunmu sneered and entered the insides of ore mountain. He had left behind another shadow in the camp under the mountain so that Yan Xiu wouldn’t become suspicious, while his main body was rus.h.i.+ng toward Lakshmi City.
After he reached Lakshmi City, he would start the battle of G.o.ds.
While pa.s.sing through the mountain, the black shadow found a small path through the woods and emerged with Li Yunmu’s original appearance. He calmly advanced toward Lakshmi City after that. Every village he pa.s.sed through while traveling on the small path had a group of young children studying martial arts.
The eyes of each and every one of them were filled with determination.
When Li Yunmu saw that, he was astonished. He hadn’t expected that the martial skills he had imparted to only one village would lead to all the mortals in Lakshmi City’s territory beginning to practice them.
When the soldiers from Asura City were engaging in wanton ma.s.sacre among the villages, the thought of overthrowing the G.o.ds had already appeared in their hearts. In each and every village, the healthy mortals began to practice cultivation with a seed of defying the heavens and murdering the G.o.ds taking root within them.
It was the birth of a new power. Compared to the mortals of other planes, the mortals of the Origin World were really blessed with fortune. During each inhale and exhale, they would absorb the natural energy. In the long run, their bodies, which had good innate talent, would give them considerable advantage over the mortals of other planes.
