“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.
