Shadow Hack - Chapter 788
Chapter 788: The King’s Son-in-Law
Brunhilda, who stood right behind Li Yunmu, had no reaction to his words and remained still like a puppet without any soul.
A hint of a demonic smile appeared on Li Yunmu’s face, and he moved quickly, rushing toward the muscular god while leaving behind afterimages. Due to his speed, they soon gained material form.
It didn’t take long for the crowd of gods to see that the afterimages did not scatter once congealed and that none of them were different from the original form.
The muscular god narrowed his eyes and waved the black metal hatchets in Li Yunmu’s direction. As a god of the Land of Ice, he walked the path of strength single-mindedly and brandished the two hatchets with his full strength without any excess movements.
Naturally, the muscular god who pursued the path of power had not comprehended any martial techniques to use his strength efficiently. Seeing that Li Yunmu was leaving behind an afterimage with each step, his first thought was to hit the Li Yunmu closest to him.
His two hatchets filled with hints of divine metal power struck down on Li Yunmu with boundless suppression. Yet when the hatchets collided with his shoulders, they directly passed through them.
It was an illusion?!
“Be careful, behind you!” an anxious voice shouted out from the crowd of gods.
Just as the muscular god turned around, he saw Li Yunmu with a hint of a demonic smile on his face. Before the god could react, his body was sent flying and struck an ice tree on the mountain.
The snow accumulated on the branches of the ice tree fell down and buried the reckless muscular god.
The peak of the mountain turned silent. The other gods, who had been behind the muscular god, had only seen a hatchet go through Li Yunmu’s afterimage when a black shadow formed behind him, extended a finger, and blew him away.
It was an extremely mysterious and dazzling technique. Just one finger’s power was sufficient to leave the muscular god hanging between life and death.
It was truly terrifying!
At that moment, none of the gods in the crowd dared to consider Li Yunmu a mortal.
How could he possibly be a mortal? If he had been a mortal, he would have been grovelling in front of gods like them.
Could a mortal send the muscular god close to death with a finger?
What a joke, he was definitely an ancient god or a peak existence among gods!
Yet why had an ancient god from the eastern domain’s Ancient Lands sneaked into the Land of Ice? Also, could the snowstorm unleashed earlier not have been without reason, but to attack the formidable enemy?
诸神释放出神威,神色紧张的看着李云牧,却没有任何一个神邸退缩.The crowd of gods analyzed the situation in their hearts and, within an instant, Brunhilda turned into an innocent from the main culprit.
And Li Yunmu with his formidable strength was turned into a spy from the Ancient Lands.
The crowd of gods released their divine might and nervously looked at Li Yunmu, but none of them cowered.
[Youngster, what the hell are you doing?] the system’s voice echoed in Li Yunmu’s mind.
“Nothing, I only want to reduce their anger. Who knew that this god would lose consciousness? These gods aren’t afraid of death! They’re actually treating me as an enemy!”
Li Yunmu expressed his helplessness to the system in his mind; he really hadn’t expected that the crowd of gods would have such a reaction.
Why did everyone think that the muscular god had died? He had only lost consciousness before getting buried under the snow.
“The god from Ancient Lands, why are you attempting to intrude into the Land of Ice? If you don’t say anything, we will try our utmost to stall you until the ancient gods of Scandinavia come here,” one of the gods from the crowd mumbled slowly.
Li Yunmu looked at the dignified expressions of the gods and realized that if he did not reveal his identity, it was highly possible that the gods before him would to attack him the next second.
Although he possessed the strength of a master god and the gods before him were like house flies whom he could swat with one hand, he was the son-in-law of the king of the Land of Ice, so the crowd of gods could be considered as his people and it would not be good to attack them. Who could casually kill their own people?
“You still haven’t stepped away? He is the son-in-law of the king!”
Brunhilda walked out from behind Li Yunmu and looked at the gods releasing their battle intent with an ice cold gaze. As for the muscular god buried in snow, she had checked his breath long ago and confirmed that he hadn’t been killed by Li Yunmu.
As soon as the crowd of gods saw Brunhilda, they restrained their battle intent and revealed flabbergasted expressions.
What was going on there? The person who released the snowstorm was surprisingly the princess of Scandinavia? And from where did the powerful son-in-law appear?
All their analysis had been completely wrong!
Astonishment covered the faces of the gods. They had never expected for the situation to change like that.
Li Yunmu looked at Brunhilda standing like an ice statue by his side, and his lips formed into a smile. He couldn’t help it. It was because of the words she had said just then: the king’s son-in-law.
Those words signified his status, and they also represented that Brunhilda still acknowledged him as her husband. Her crazy actions earlier were only to vent her feelings.
When Li Yunmu thought about it, he tightly embraced her wife who had a beautiful figure. Truthfully speaking, he had really wronged her. There was not a single day which he had spent with her alone after marrying Athena. He simply kept going on journeys.
After that, he had even suddenly returned with an illegitimate daughter, which no woman in the world could accept.
[I can’t stand seeing you being so lovey dovey all the time.]
System’s voice held a tinge of sourness when it echoed in Li Yunmu’s brain.
The crowd of gods half-knelt on the ground without saying a word. They only secretly raised their heads to look at the ice-cold Brunhilda being hugged by the king’s son-in-law. Regardless of whoever saw them, they would realize that the two were husband and wife. Upon understanding that, the gods lowered their heads while mumbling to themselves and didn’t disturb them.
Brunhilda’s expression didn’t change, but her right hand grabbed Li Yunmu’s butt from behind, silently venting her anger. In reality, she wasn’t against Li Yunmu having three wives and four concubines. Compared to the traditional women of eastern domain’s Ancient Lands, where the system of monogamy was practiced, which man didn’t have three wives and four concubines in the western world.
If she was truly against Li Yunmu having three wives and four concubines, she would have never allowed Li Yunmu to marry Athena. She was only angry at the fact that Li Yunmu had not told her the truth. If she had not come with him, she would have still remained in the dark.
When Li Yunmu’s butt was grabbed tightly by Brunhilda, his complexion turned white. Although she wasn’t using divine power, she was an ancient god, and her physical strength could be considered as formidable. Additionally, Li Yunmu didn’t dare to defend himself and could only take the punishment.
“Hmmm!”
Li Yunmu couldn’t help but let out a snort because of the pain.
The half-kneeling gods reached a tacit understanding. All of them had become aware that the son-in-law of their king who possessed formidable strength… was actually afraid of his wife.
“All of you rise and return to your respective residences.”
