Shadow Hack

“Now, what’s your plan?”

The system didn’t intend to inform Li Yunmu about the secrets, so he simply changed the topic.

The system was silent for a moment before answering. [Since I have already given assurance to Sleipnir, I will restore the spiritual awareness of Odin and for that we must proceed toward the Northern Land of Ice.]

Sleipnir, who had been taken in by the system, knelt on the ground and said to the system with deep gratefulness, “Many thanks lord. I thank the lord on behalf of my master.”

[No need to be polite. I am not someone who doesn’t keep his words. Since I have already agreed to help you, I will definitely get it done and also settle this youngster’s matter in passing.]

Li Yunmu looked at Brunhilda lying in his bosom. Apart from having a fiery temper, regardless of whether in terms of beauty or figure, she wasn’t the least bit inferior to any woman he had seen before.

Her plump and soft chest could make anyone’s imagination run wild after a single glance.

But hearing the system talking about proceeding toward Northern Land of Ice to awaken the dormant Odin, Li Yunmu was quite worried.

In the eyes of the gods, he was only a mortal. The marriage between a mortal and a god would turn Scandinavia into a joke.

If he truly married Brunhilda, she would sink down to become a matter of ridicule for others. He had no idea if this woman would be able to endure the pressure from all sides. Three talking people make a tiger ¹ which can crush anyone to death!

[You don’t need to be excessively afraid. Speaking of that Odin, I’m 90% confident. You could be considered as quite fortunate that without being refined by fire, you could form a relation with gods. Since the ancient times, you’re the first person to do so!]

Li Yunmu didn’t covet a relation with gods that much, Truthfully speaking, no sentiment existed in his heart toward Brunhilda.

Feelings have to be nurtured. There was no such thing as love at first sight in his mind; it was only an excuse used by others.

Brunhilda slowly rose from sleep in Li Yunmu’s bosom. She didn’t remember some of her drastic actions after losing reason.

She only remembered that the two grand gods had insulted her Scandinavia and she had raised her spear in response. Yet who had thought that while fighting, she would lose consciousness.

“Just a moment ago… what exactly happened?”

Li Yunmu didn’t want to inform her about her destruction of Whale City. According to the system’s intentions, he indifferently stated, “We plan to proceed toward the Northern Land of Snow to wake your father.”

Brunhilda said with astonishment to Li Yunmu:

“Can that guy inside you really do that?” Brunhilda asked in astonishment

[Little lassie, you look down on this old man, don’t you?]

“You shouldn’t act so crudely, treat a girl rather gently,” Li Yunmu reminded him, then continued to speak to Brunhilda. “It lacks in social skills! Not only can it assist you in increasing your strength, it can also throw you into a pit.”

Brunhilda wrinkled her eyebrows. “As the princess of Scandinavia, I will place my trust in you once. If you can truly rouse my dad, I will definitely etch this kindness into my heart.”

Looking at Brunhilda trying to offer her respect, Li Yunmu quickly helped her straighten up and said, “That is but a trivial matter. You don’t need to offer your gratitude.”

Li Yunmu had been quite resentful toward the system acting on his behalf without caring for his opinion. Thereupon, he criticized the system a few times in front of Brunhilda.

The system didn’t pay any attention to it. This was a crucial time to cultivate feelings between the two of them, so he remained silent and didn’t bother them.

Li Yunmu then proceeded toward the Northern Land of Ice under the guidance of the system.

If he could truly obtain the assistance of Odin, he would be like a tiger with wings in the Origin World and wouldn’t need to continue acting passively.

…

After obtaining the approval of Li Yunmu, Lin Yuerou was shouldering the heavy responsibility of taking care of Lucky Wind City. She had left no stone unturned, which had earned her the admiration of Li Yun, Li Feng, Li Tian, and Li De.

Lin Yuerou had the experience of managing Heavenly Cloud City, so she could administer over Lucky Wind City quite skillfully.

“City lord, what should be our next plan?”

“Now that Li Yunmu isn’t present, I fear that those factions which had been previously defeated by us are already trying to make a comeback.

“Even if Blade Master and Battle God have perished, their clansmen and disciples will certainly nurture the next generation’s leader. Perhaps they will avail themselves to this opportunity of Li Yunmu not being present to incite trouble.

“Reinforce the guard of the city and attentively watch the actions of those powers. If something abnormal happens, immediately informs us!”

“Alright! City Lord, we will reinforce the defenses of Lucky Wind City and turn it into a fortified castle. Regardless of whichever power it is, none of them will dare to take action toward us.”

Lin Yuerou shook her head and smilingly said, “Their personal strength is still far from sufficient to overcome Lucky Wind City’s defenses, not to mention that Li Yunmu had increased them before leaving. That’s why breaking those defenses will be even harder than reaching the sky.”

“If we only keep defending without attacking, we can certainly reap what Li Yunmu had sown. But the task which he assigned to us isn’t to defend Lucky Wind City to death, but to capture the territory of other powers.”

Li De groaned. “These powers of different races are quite cunning. When master was present, they all bowed obediently. But the moment master left, they have begun to get restless.”

“That’s not a problem, with the barrier of vampires before us, those different races will remain somewhat content. But if the vampires also launch a sneak attack on us, we won’t be able to guard against that. Therefore, from this instant onwards, dispatch people to defend the strategic location without making any mistakes.”

“You can be at ease, City Lord. We four brothers will definitely deal with all the small and large matters, followed by a proper report to you.”

Lin Yuerou nodded, and while supporting her forehead with her hand, she attentively examined the map detailing the influence of various powers.

Although the majority of them had been beaten into submission by Li Yunmu, they had begun to plot in secret after he left, which unsettled Lin Yuerou.

Lucky Wind City was located in between all the powers. If all of them encircled and attacked them, Lucky Wind City would face enemies on all fronts.

Even if Li Yunmu had reinforced the city defenses by a few layers before leaving, they could still be broken with sufficient time. Defending until death wasn’t the best plan. Instead, following the principle of using offense as defense would be the best course of action for them.

Lucky Wind City had to take the initiative to attack. Only then could it force its enemies, which had begun to threaten it, back. But Lin Yuerou’s supreme transcending level experts, which were cultivating based on the cultivation relaying globe given by Li Yunmu, were quite immature. They needed more time before they could vigorously forge ahead.

Right then wasn’t the best time for Lucky Wind City to attack. They would have to wait for a better opportunity.
