Chapter 886
"Finally . "
Li Yunmu reached the central city after following Holy Daughter Yu Rou . If being honest, the central city was only an enormous mansion . Its front door, however, was as high as the city walls . Li Yunmu raised his head and looked at the large red doors, which seemed to be extending to the divine palace in heaven .
Two lion statues were in front of the large door . They were lying on their stomachs on a pedestal . Their eyes were closed, but they held their heads high and chests out .
Holy Daughter Yu Rou looked at Li Yunmu, then walked to the large doors . When passing through the lion statues, the seemingly dead statues came alive .
They looked at Yu Rou, then emotionally said, "Little Yu Rou, you returned to the city just now? What did you do on this trip?"
"I brought a man with me . "
The bodies of the two lion statues trembled while they spoke, which made dust fall off them . Their bodies turned golden, and their gazes began to shine with a faintly discernible divine presence .
"Don't make fun of me, forefathers . I had gone out of Lakshmi City to relieve my boredom, but who would have expected that I would come across Ancient Goddess Brunhilda's husband, so I led him back here . I will tell you a secret though . This lord is an ancient god, so forefathers, you cannot use your mouth lightly"
When saying the final line, Yu Rou deliberately lowered her voice and spoke in a whisper .
When the lion statues heard the first half, their bronze-bell-sized eyes looked at Li Yunmu with incredulity, but when the other half came, they glanced at each other and shook their heads .
"Boring, not interesting . "
After saying that, the two lion statues returned to their original positions . They laid down on their stomachs with eyes closed, chests out, and heads raised at the sky .
Yu Rou waved her hand at Li Yunmu and said with a smile, Let's go . "
They went through the door together and saw a lotus pond at the edge . It was filled with many lotuses, which was a delightful sight . The pool, in which the flowers bloomed, also had a few plump kois floating inside . A half god presence could be sensed from them .
"This music clan's residence is really quite extravagant . It has two god level guardian beasts, and even the kois in the pond are emitting half god presence," Li Yunmu said ruefully .
Although the Morrow Clan's residence and city lord's mansion were extremely unique in Asura City, when compared to the music clan, both of them seemed like Earth compared to Heaven .

When Yu Rou heard his words, the satisfaction on her face couldn't be concealed .
"That is only natural," she said with a faint smile . "Lakshmi City has existed since ancient times, and this is the residence of a music clan, so it will naturally have everything of the best quality .
"Music clans aren't like the clans under other ancient gods, who struggle to seize power of belief . Our ancient goddess doesn't have much interest toward power of belief, so our music clans don't care much about it either . Because of this, we pay more attention to other things . Though the two lion statues aren't guardian beasts, but the forefathers of the music clan . "
When Li Yunmu heard this, he became even more interested . The two lion statues outside the gate with god level presence were surprisingly the forefathers of this music clan? He asked with some suspicion:
"If the two lion statues are the forefathers of a music clan, why did you make them guard the gate? What's more, there wasn't the slightest bit of respect in your words when you were talking to them . "
"Forefathers themselves wanted to stay at the gate . They said that they didn't like staying in the residence and so went to guard the door to hear and see more . They like to gossip, and the matter of Ancient Goddess Brunhilda's marriage interests them the most . After all, it is the most exciting matter in the music clan . "
"Once forefathers learned that you are her husband, they would certainly stop you to ask about it, but when I mentioned that your strength is at ancient god level, the elders became somewhat afraid and didn't interrogate you . "

Yu Rou smiled, and her both eyes turned into crescent moon while the shawl draped over her shoulders fluttered freely . Her appearance together along with the clear lotus pond made her look like a heavenly fairy . For a moment, Li Yunmu was startled, and his heart became restless .
[You are really something . If Little Bu saw your present appearance, she would turn over the heavens,] the system said with mockery in Li Yunmu's brain .
The very next instant, Li Yunmu erased his favorable opinion of Holy Daughter Yu Rou from his heart . It wasn't because it would be difficult to deal with Brunhilda in the music clan, but because the majority of the twelve music clan leaders were women . If he couldn't control his heart when seeing one, then who knew how unstable his mind would become later on .
"So this is the case . Alright, after Little Bu came, did she get along with Holy Daughter Liu Bailing?" Li Yunmu slowly asked with a calm expression .
In Asura City, Brunhilda had said that she wanted to come to Lakshmi City to take a stroll . Upon hearing that, he had panicked a little . His interest in Liu Bailing had been seen through by Brunhilda, so he was somewhat afraid that Little Bu would find trouble with Liu Bailing . But after some thought, he realized that Brunhilda's temperament wasn't like that, so she shouldn't do something like that .
When Holy Daughter Yu Rou heard Li Yunmu's words, she was slightly started . Her beautiful eyes focused on Li Yunmu as if wanting to see something .
After a moment, she said with a smile, "Ancient Goddess Brunhilda and Liu Bailing are compatible like sisters and stick together every day . I wonder what was lord's intention behind this question?"
Li Yunmu looked at Yu Rou's gaze and mumbled, "Nothing . . . "

At that moment, a couple women wearing beautiful clothes flew above the lotus pond . They held flower baskets filled with all sorts of flowers . Those women looked like they were in the prime of their youth and flew over the lotus pond while laughing and giggling before disappearing into the distance .
Li Yunmu, who was flying behind Yu Rou, shook his head . The music clan indeed had many beauties; he could see beautiful women everywhere . As for men, apart from one of the lion statues, he hadn't seen any after .
They passed through a long corridor and arrived in the woods where each and every woman was holding some utensil to collect dew drops from a bamboo .
Within the bamboo trees, there were all kinds of pavilions, and beautiful men were sitting in them while playing all sorts of musical instruments . When Li Yunmu saw that, he was somewhat amazed .
Yu Rou turned around and looked at him, then asked, "How about it, do you find men playing musical instruments strange?"
"It is not that I think men playing musical instruments is very weird, but that this division of labour is unusual . Why aret men collecting dew and women playing? Your music clan has twelve holy daughters, but I hadn't expected that there would be such a difference between the positions of men and women compared to other lands," Li Yunmu slowly said .
He recalled a legend from Earth which resembled what he was seeing in the music clan . In Journey to the West, there was a story about a country of women .
Regardless of whether it was the kingdom of women or Lakshmi City, both of them were matriarchal societies . The difference between them and other places was that the man's position was weaker while women occupied the dominant position .
