Chapter 809: The Shadow
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
In the wooden room, Ancient God Lakshmi spoke in an incredulous voice. “God father, you an that I should beco the shadow of Pipa Clan’s holy daughter? Whether for good or bad, I am an ancient god who has existed for a long ti while Liu Bailing is only my descendent. So even if you want to beco her shadow, I am not willing!”
The system did not reply as if it had disappeared, and Li Yunmu looked at the tasphere at the center of the five-colored light with a sneer. The people of Lanlou were filled with arrogance, regardless of whether they were the four young masters or Ancient God Lakshmi. If any mortal had been given the choice to continue living after death even as a shadow, they would agree to it instantly.
But Ancient God Lakshmi was not willing even when she was being threatened by Li Yunmu, who possessed strength equivalent to a master god. She still maintained her arrogant attitude, not agreeing to beco a shadow.
“Then perhaps you can stay as the tool spirit of this jade pipa. As long as you don’t injure Liu Bailing,” Li Yunmu suggested.
“Hmph, that is even more impossible. Asking this god to beco a tool! What will happen to my face if I do that?” said a resentful voice from the tasphere.
After becoming a shadow, she would still have the opportunity to escape, but if she beca a tool spirit, she would be bound forever.
Li Yunmu glanced at the tasphere with countless strands of demonic energy coming out of his body as if he were the devil king. A formidable pressure slowly enveloped the room, and he walked to the jade pipa step by step, where he extended his left hand.
The countless strands of demonic energy released from his palm instantly coiled around the tasphere and subdued it without giving it ti to escape or even shout for help.
Li Yunmu looked at the longan fruit-sized pearl in his palm. It was gray, but translucent, and there was a white dot moving all over it.
After a while, the system said, [It would be the best if you could keep her alive. Whether for good or bad, she is still an ancient god and would help you when the external calamity descends. But if she acts too impudent, kill her.]
Although Ancient God Lakshmi was created by the master god, she still called the system god father and could be considered as the daughter of the True God.
But if given a choice, the system would choose Li Yunmu. Even if he would lose one ancient god, it was better than letting a monster who would willfully slaughter mortals roam the world.
What was more, during their interactions, the system’s conviction had also swayed. Originally, it had believed that it had created a perfect world with the gods at the top to resist the external crisis while mortals could live peacefully below them. But the starting point of gods was a little too high, and without the possibility of moving further, they were stuck at the sa place for all ti.
Because of that, when the power of belief appeared, the gods even wanted to use external force to increase their strength and began to herd mortals like livestock.
After a long ti, when the strength of gods once again got stuck, the mortals also lost the conviction to defy heavens, and the whole world began to decay.
“You don’t need to worry. Since this ancient god hasn’t used the power of belief to strengthen herself, then I will naturally let her go. But right now, only a soul of her remains, so she should hide herself in Liu Bailing’s shadow. Then, after I have dealt with Asura, I will take her out.”
After saying that, Li Yunmu opened the door and looked at Liu Bailing and the Pipa clansn sitting on the ground in the plaza. With pipa in their hands, they were playing a sorrowful lody which seed to be describing the worries of an old mother for her son traveling the world.
After Liu Bailing finished playing the lody, she put down the pipa and ran over.
“What happened, is Ancient God Lakshmi alive?” she asked anxiously.
Li Yunmu stood at the door while looking at Liu Bailing when said in a teasing tone, “Co in and see for yourself.”
Chen Xiu, who was standing not far away, saw that scene. His front face remained expressionless, but the face at the back of his head revealed incredulity. He simply did not dare to believe that his master was fickle to this degree, directly inviting another woman into his room. Moreover, it was done when his woman was nearby. Could he not be worried about her finding out at all?
Liu Bailing looked at Li Yunmu. Her expression turned blank for a long while, then she suspiciously said, “I will co.”
After she saying that, she stepped into the room and looked at the jade pipa emitting five-colored light as well as releasing strands of divine energy. But she did not feel the presence of Ancient God Lakshmi.
“What about the ancient god?” Liu Bailing asked while turning around.
Li Yunmu, who was imrsed in the delicate fragrance coming from Liu Bailing, snapped back to reality and looked at the young and tender girl.
“Here!” he said while waving his hand.
After saying that, he threw a pearl into Liu Bailing’s shadow. Instantly, the originally motionless shadow ca alive and began to twist and turn like a living person without making any sound.
“What is this thing! How is my shadow moving?”
Liu Bailing looked at her shadow twisting and turning on the wall, showing all sorts of postures as if soone trapped and unable to co out.
Ancient God Lakshmi?
Liu Bailing turned around and looked at the calm Li Yunmu. “Tell , is Ancient God Lakshmi inside my shadow? Didn’t you promise to resurrect her?”
Li Yunmu looked at the desperately struggling shadow on the wall, then his gaze went to Liu Bailing and he said with a smile, “Right now, only a part of Ancient God Lakshmi’s soul remains, so she cannot be resurrected.
“That’s why for now, I have hidden her in your soul. After I kill Asura and obtain the missing parts, I will help her to reconstruct her soul.”
“Really?” Liu Bailing asked with suspicion.
She had believed that Li Yunmu could resurrect Ancient God Lakshmi right there and then, so the fact that ancient god’s soul would surprisingly end up rged with her shadow surprised her. What was happening? Although Liu Bailing was the holy daughter of Pipa Clan, her position was only a little bit higher than of the other clansn and was definitely below the ancient god.
But right then, Ancient God Lakshmi appeared in her shadow, so did this not an that she could step upon the ancient god at any ti? That was the biggest taboo of Lanlou.
Liu Bailing looked at the desperately struggling shadow with a frown and did not dare to make any movents.
At this ti, feminine voices ca from outside the room. When Liu Bailing heard them, her complexion changed and she said, “Oh no, the holy daughters of the other music clans arrived. All of them are gods, so it would be better if you escaped now; otherwise, they would know that Ancient God Lakshmi has been turned into a shadow by you. Then you will definitely have to suffer consequences.”
After saying that, Liu Bailing ran to the backdoor with a thought to pull Li Yunmu outside. Her slender hands went to his shoulders, but felt a formidable resistance.
“Why are you still not running?”
Li Yunmu shook his shoulders then grabbed Liu Bailing’s small hand and pulled her to himself. Liu Bailing imdiately fell into his embrace, where she felt his strong chest, and her face imdiately turned red.
“No need. Why should I run?”
