Chapter 230: Just Pretend

"What?"

Thor immediately voiced his refusal the moment he heard Suo Lie Mu's demand.

"Change your demand."

Suo Lie Mu sat down again, a smug smile on his face, and said, "I have no other demands."

"If Fuleiya doesn't marry me, don't even think about getting the hammer back."

"Of course, you can try to snatch it!"

A dangerous glint flashed in his eyes, and the giant guards on either side were already eager, their giant axes and war hammers gleaming with cold light.

These giants have been able to contend with Asgard for years, so their strength is naturally not to be underestimated.

But ever since Thor obtained the Miao Aonir, his power surged, and the giants clearly fell at a disadvantage.

Now that Thor is weaponless, they truly show no fear!

If they didn't want to spark an all‑out war with Asgard at this moment, and Suo Lie Mu genuinely wants Fuleiya, why not strike directly now?

In Northern European mythology, Fuleiya is the goddess of love and beauty, overseeing fertility, romance, magic, war, and gold, and belongs to the Wana Divine Clan.

After the war between the Asha Divine Clan and the Wana Divine Clan ended, she arrived in Asgard as one of the hostages, yet she is deeply respected by the Gods.

After the Valkyries selected fallen heroes for Aoding, she chose another half‑dead warrior and placed him in the Sethsruenil Grand Palace, where all the privileges are the same as Aoding's Hall of Heroic Spirits, Valhalla.

Besides those fallen warriors, pure maidens and faithful wives in the world also enter the Sethsruenil Grand Palace after death, reuniting with their loved ones.

It can be said that whether in the Human World or the Divine Realm, she is a goddess adored and revered by many people and Gods alike.

Thor clenched his teeth; seeing Suo Lie Mu's resigned expression, he turned silently, thinking of returning to Asgard to discuss the matter with the Gods.

A forceful seizure is now impossible, but the Miao Aonir must not fall into the giants' hands!

Watching Thor depart.

Suo Lie Mu shouted, "I hope the next time I see you, you bring Fuleiya to me!"

"I want to see my beautiful bride!"

"Hahaha!"

Behind him, Suo Lie Mu and the crowd of giants laughed.

Thor merely clenched his fists, thinking to himself, "Let them mock now; once I retrieve the Miao Aonir, I'll smash each of your heads!"

He transformed into a soaring eagle and flew into the sky.

Loki seemed to have witnessed everything, a faint smile on his face:

"What? Being mocked?"

Thor ignored him and flew forward.

Seeing him about to leave.

Loki realized that as Thor left, he had no Rainbow Bridge to return to Asgard, so he hurriedly followed:

"Don't be angry, come on, let uncle think of a solution for you."

The two walked away into the distance.

In his early days, Loki liked playing pranks, but once discovered, he usually offered compensation and often used his wit to advise the Gods.

Thus, when he first joined Asgard, he was not only unresented by the Gods but even cherished by them.

But later, his pranks became excessive; the Gods grew weary, began selectively ignoring Loki, or outright expelling and scolding him, punishing his mischief.

Consequently, Loki's later behavior grew increasingly malicious........

In the end, driven by jealousy, he caused the death of the god of light, sparking the Twilight of the Gods.

Asgard, Wuerde Spring.

The Gods gathered here.

"That's how it is."

After Thor narrated the events, the Gods fell into silence.

Especially Fuleiya, who pressed her lips together, clenched her hands, her beautiful face flushing slightly with anger, exuding a heart‑pounding aura.

Loki, seeing the silent Gods, swaggered out with a hint of bravado.

Under the Gods' gaze, he spoke, "Since you won't speak, let me speak."

"Fuleiya, for Asgard, make a sacrifice."

"Anyway, your husband Odell has been away for a long time, you can't find where he is, and I suppose he doesn't care about you."

"Having multiple husbands, so what?"

At those words, a powerful aura instantly erupted from Fuleiya!

Golden divine power surged like a tide, shaking the otherwise unshakable divine realm space, even Asgard trembled!

She glared at Loki, her voice as sharp as an ice blade:

"Loki! You damned fool!"

"I could never marry Suo Lie Mu, even if the World Tree withers and the Nine Realms collapse!"

"If I have to marry, I'll marry you!"

"You think I'm that kind of person?!"

Her fury made the Gods hear her resolve.

Just as the Gods were at a loss, Hai Mu Da Er stepped forward.

He said, "I have an idea."

The Gods turned their gaze to him again, "What?"

"Since this incident arose from Thor's negligence, then—" Hai Mu Da Er's eyes fell on Thor:

"Let Thor impersonate Fuleiya, trick the Miao Aonir back, and then decide what to do. How does that sound?"

Upon hearing this, the Gods' eyes lit up, feeling that this plan could work.

Thor, however, refused; he said in a deep voice: "I won't agree! Making me dress as a woman is an insult to my dignity!"

"Change the plan!"

"Hey, Thor, don't be so quick to refuse." As his words fell, before anyone else could speak, Loki spoke again.

Only seeing him approach Thor, the corners of his mouth turned up, revealing a sly smile:

"Oh? Our great Thor Prince actually fears wearing a skirt?"

Loki circled Thor once, his eyes flashing with mischievous light: "Just think, when you retrieve Mjölnir——"

"You can use the hammer to smash Thrym into pulp, and electrocute those giants who mock you into charcoal!"

"By then, who would know you did this?"

"Moreover, what other way do you have to reclaim Mjölnir? Can you alone kill Thrym?"

"Think it over well! Don't lose face!"

Thor's expression wavered, and he finally sighed helplessly:

"... Alright, I agree."

He gritted his teeth and added:

"If this gets out, I'll use Mjölnir to electrocute your tongue into a crisp!"

Loki laughed heartily, patted his shoulder: "Rest assured, rest assured, I promise to keep my lips sealed——"

"You can trust me!"

Next, his gaze turned to Heimdall:

"You guy, actually able to come up with this method, I've taken a liking to you."

Heimdall, however, gave a cold snort: "Who needs your liking?"

"Since the plan is settled, I'm leaving."

He turned and left, returning to the Rainbow Bridge to continue his watch.

Loki wasn't annoyed either; merely a glint flashed in his eyes, after pondering a bit, he said to Fuleiya:

"We need your most beautiful dress, your necklace, and your headpiece."

"Then."

"I will pose as your maid and go with Thor to deceive Thrym.........."

"This will surely be fun!"
