Chapter 278 Unbelievably Smooth Development
Although Hippolyta ultimately failed to uncover Li Muyang's true identity, the various magical items she possessed made her realize that the young man before her was dangerous, and if he were to unleash his power, the suppression laws of Paradise Island might become ineffective.
Therefore, she specifically instructed those stubborn old men not to offend people for no reason, and to distinguish between what is important and what is not!
Don't let Li Muyang's current docile appearance fool you. If any stubborn old men from Paradise Island were to act up in front of him, he would definitely lose his temper. I may be a pawn, that's true, but that doesn't mean I can be bullied by anyone!
For example, while Hippolyta was testing him, she always maintained an approachable attitude, placing Li Muyang on an equal footing with her, not on a lower level. She never offended him, and in fact, Hippolyta lowered herself by half a step, leaving Li Muyang with no reason to get angry.
Soon the group arrived at the Amazon tribe's settlement. As soon as they stepped in, several beams of light rose up from one direction. Upon closer inspection, there were nine beams in total!
Most importantly, one small beam of light from each of the nine beams entered Li Muyang's body.
Li Muyang (ー△ー；): Please don't do this... I'm really scared of you doing this!
I know you're asking me for favors, okay? Do you really need to send so many at once? Seriously, is Wonder Woman worth all this? I originally thought it was just to help Diana complete her mission, but now Li Muyang is completely confused about what they're really up to!
I thought Hippolyta was already quite polite, but these Olympian gods are even more unreasonable! I didn't even want it! You insisted on giving it to me! And you even want a tip?
I feel like I can't afford this tip!
Even Hippolyta was stunned for a moment, nine paths?
She hurriedly left a message, asking a tall but somewhat naive girl to look after Li Muyang, and then she rushed over at full speed—a first for her!
Well, it was a tip that these nine main gods secretly slipped to Li Muyang; they didn't give it to him openly.
They also have some pride; they've already been polite enough. They can't let everyone see everything, can they?
To be fair, Li Muyang could sense that the eighteen divine powers within his body were still distinguishable. Although they were divided into nine groups, he could easily tell which one came from his own world and which one came from the other world, because the two were somewhat different.
Just as Li Muyang was enjoying the "tip," he suddenly felt a pair of wicked little hands reaching towards his big brother... He snapped back to reality with a start and stared dumbfounded at the sly-looking girl.
Yes, she's the woman Hippolyta left behind to look after Li Muyang.
No, girl, is this how you're going to take care of me? We've only just met, in broad daylight! And you're already touching me like that? It's so embarrassing! At least find a corner...
Cough!
I am a gentleman!
The girl was a little embarrassed, but not because of any difference between men and women. It was because Li Muyang noticed her and she reflexively withdrew her hand.
"Hello!" Li Muyang had guessed the girl's identity. Her surging divine power was no joke, even though most of it was still sealed and in swaddling clothes and had not yet been able to unleash its full power.
"Hello." The girl blinked her big eyes and introduced herself, "My name is Diana... Are you Asian?"
The girl's eyes scanned Li Muyang closely from head to toe. This was the first time she had ever seen a man, especially one from the mysterious East!
“Yes…” Li Muyang nodded, sweating slightly. Even though he had prepared in advance, he was still somewhat surprised by the girl’s lack of common sense.
Fortunately, no matter how powerful the magic-blocking array is here, even if Li Muyang can't open the small world, even if the Shennong Beast and the others can't call out, the barrier can't affect the Bureau of Management on Li Muyang's body!
So, Li Muyang took out a memory of common sense knowledge that he had exchanged before.
Diana took the item from Li Muyang and immediately had a clear idea of how to use it and other information about the item in her mind. Her eyes lit up. She had always been very curious about the outside world, but her mother always used various reasons to prevent her from going out.
The future Wonder Woman, now Diana, is as pure as a white flower, still curious about all new things. In particular, her intelligence far surpasses that of the people of Themyscira. Knowledge from books alone is simply not enough to support her thirst for knowledge.
Paradise Island is protected by the Olympian gods, and resources such as food are all blessed by Zeus and his companions through magic.
This has led to the local inhabitants being somewhat lazy. It's not that they're too lazy to move, but rather that they've lost the motivation to develop and move forward. They've lived for who knows how many years, yet they're still living in a primitive era. The term "brainless" might refer to these women.
Oh, and just a heads up, their "X" refers to muscle, not fat.
It's hard.
Don't ask Li Muyang how he knew.
Of course, Diana and her mother were exceptions.
They preferred so-called battles, and with no shortage of food and resources, the result was all kinds of physical training, crazy physical training, which is why Li Muyang had such a physical quality that he was shocked when he first met him.
That's outrageous!
This also refers to appearance. There are differences in film and television works, but in reality, there are "Nezha" everywhere!
This makes Hippolyta and Diana seem much more approachable! This is also why Li Muyang is willing to interact with them. It's not a matter of being a sucker for good looks or not. A vibrant and innocent young girl and a kind-looking aunt are much more pleasing to the eye than those old witches and muscular Barbies, right?
There are very few things here that meet Li Muyang's aesthetic standards!
Therefore, in terms of mindset or development, Paradise Island has remained unchanged to this day. Apart from Hippolyta and Diana, Paradise Island is, in a sense, a cage that is constantly reincarnating. It was originally just a "my world" created by a certain god-king for his little lover.
Diana is even stronger. It's clear that she's a super-enhanced version compared to the comics. Bulletproof is just the most basic level. Li Muyang estimates that even if she weren't fully awakened, a spaceship might only be able to hurt her when it hit her.
Good heavens, these Olympian gods really care about Diana!
I wonder what they in this world want to do with Diana?
"Where did you get this from?" Diana asked curiously after taking the small gift. She could see it clearly; Li Muyang shouldn't have had this in his pocket!
Still pondering the purpose of the Olympian gods, Li Muyang slowly came back to his senses and spread his hands: "I have other means. The magic array here only restricts me from releasing my power."
Upon hearing this, Diana's eyes clearly showed great shock. The magic-suppressing realm of Paradise Island couldn't completely suppress Li Muyang's power? After all, even her power was severely restricted, and only her mother and a few individuals who inherited the divine name could use it to unleash extraordinary combat power.
For a moment, they even overlooked how Li Muyang took things out of the spatial artifacts.
Intentionally or unintentionally, Li Muyang was also trying to raise Hippolyta's guard against him, so that she wouldn't treat him like an ordinary outsider. Today's conversation with Diana would definitely reach her ears. It didn't matter. As long as she was wary, he was invited in by her. He wouldn't turn his back on her unless he provoked her.
As for the others on Paradise Island, there might have been problems before the nine divine decrees were issued, but there are absolutely none now. Even if they disliked Li Muyang's status as a man, the higher-ups would definitely instruct the others to avoid him if they didn't like him!
Nine main gods issued divine decrees at the same time, all of which were focused on Li Muyang. Even if the priests and elders wanted to seize power, they dared not provoke Li Muyang!
Sure enough, while Li Muyang and Diana were chatting about various things in the outside world, Hippolyta came over with a group of priests and elders to greet them, calling Li Muyang a divine son from another divine realm and a very honored guest!
Upon hearing that Li Muyang was a divine child, Diana's interest shone even brighter!
A fairly grand welcoming ceremony was held, after which Hippolyta and Li Muyang had a private talk. The female warriors of Paradise Island seemed to no longer care about Li Muyang, and let him stay on Paradise Island for the time being.
During his time on Paradise Island, Li Muyang spent most of his time with Diana, discussing knowledge and conducting research in various fields, including but not limited to improving people's livelihoods, using divine power, and exchanging martial arts skills.
This renowned demigod was now like a thirsty sponge, frantically absorbing the knowledge and nourishment that Li Muyang brought her! She was growing at an astonishing speed!
However, Li Muyang always felt that the main reason Diana was willing to get close to him was not Hippolyta's order.
It's mainly about the food.
"Waaah... Mu Yang, your cooking is so good!" Diana wolfed down the roasted rabbit in her hand, finishing it in no time, and then complained with lingering satisfaction, "...Now I realize that it's not that I don't like our food, it's just that it's so awful!"
Recalling the mysterious, muddy "food" he had seen at the banquet, Li Muyang felt nauseous. He could only barely accept that such a thing was edible.
And their methods of amusement... are hard to describe! Aside from fighting and seeing who has the highest fighting strength, that's all!
Paradise Island is a prison!
Didn't these Amazons inherit any of the pleasure-seeking traditions of the Olympian gods, their love of eating, drinking, and merrymaking? The people of Paradise Island live an unimaginable life! With this standard of living, even the devils in Hell would protest that devils have their rights, right?
