Chapter 115: Triggered Empress.
Chapter 115: Triggered Empress.
Han Lingshi had just finished the official and unofficial business that she needed to deal with before taking a shower. Inside the bathroom, she was sitting in a hot water tub while reading the book that Hao Mei had given her.
She did not know what it was or how it worked, but as she read the content of the book, she understood the essence of the Nine Empress Revolution technique. The book described that the cultivator would be able to change the landscape based on their whims and mood if they reached the peak of this cultivation technique.
The main effect of this sutra was great too, invulnerable physique, golden muscles and jade bones, followed by the blood of purple spirit. The beauty of the woman who cultivates it would reach beyond the realms too. Han Lingshi could not fathom that something like this really existed. She read the chant.

'The human commands the Dao,
Dao Commands it all,
Empress of all will rise again,
All who defies her will fall to hell.
Heavens is your throne,
Dao is your crown,
Life is your weapon,
Death is your slave.
...'
Han Lingshi repeated the verses five times before she had completely memorized it. Just when she was thinking about reading it one more time, she suddenly let go of the book, as it caught fire and vanished into thin air. Even ashes were not left behind. She could not help but feel surprised.
Then she recalled the red amber pill Hao Mei had passed to her. She did not believe it at first, but after thinking how absurd everything was, she nodded and said, "Fine, I will give it a try."
Then she looked at the pill bottle and took out a pill to consume it. The pill was miraculous, it melted as soon as it entered her mouth. After a few seconds, she could sense a warm sensation coursing through her body. The young lady did not feel too overwhelmed, but suddenly she noticed a layer of oil on her body.
Han Lingshi was disgusted and began to clean herself repeatedly. She also cursed Hao Mei for giving her a weird pill. When she finished cleaning after half an hour, she took a deep breath and came to dry her hair. She then came out of the washroom, and picked up a hair dryer, but the next second she was shocked.
Her skin was clear as if porcelain and it was one tone fairer, with a healthy tint of pink. She could not believe what has happened, and the change was not limited to her appearance. She felt as if she was filled with energy and all her fatigue has vanished.
She could not help but recall the information from the book and after changing his clothes, she sat down on the bed, next to Hao Ren with her legs folded.
Hao Ren was deep in sleep, but in his mind the last thought was the Titan sutra chant. With Han Lingshi chanting the Nine Empress Revolution Sutra beside him, the two of them turned the room into a spirit chamber.
Even if they could not sense a significant amount of it, their bodies have been purified, and thus it absorbed a little bit of the spiritual energy. Han Lingshi meditated for an hour and then she went to sleep. The young couple did not understand that they inhaled the spiritual energy inside the room as they slept.
Human bodies were akin to sponges, and spiritual energy was water. The former will absorb the latter to the limits of its capacity. Night passed quickly, and soon the sun came up. Hao Ren woke up with his biological clock and after pecking Han Lingshi on the forehead, he came to the terrace of the old house.
Titan Sutra gave him the freedom of positioning, he did not have to sit down on the floor like monks. On the contrary, his technique encouraged him to cultivate while moving to increase the control over the spiritual energy flowing through the acupoints.
The young man started practicing his boxing skills and moved quickly. He was unaware that Han Lingshi was also refreshed and tried to meditate in the room only. After an hour when she was about to give up, the young lady sensed the familiar warmth on her skin as she did when she consumed the pill. With this she decided to endure and her decision turned out to be correct.
The warm sensation began to flow around her body, and then inside it. As if a thread moving through the described acupoints. Hao Ren also sensed the warm current around him and ran a cycle of his cultivation technique. He also noticed these effects and said, 'System, you are a genius. Finally, you have given me a tool to surpass the bounds of mortal world.
However, should I teach Lingshi how to cultivate?'
*Ding: Host, thank you for the compliment. I am glad you liked your reward. The system would also like to inform you to not bother with the fate of Han Lingshi. She will be by your side every step on the way.*
Hao Ren sighed and said, 'System, you are assuring me that she would stay beside me every step of the way. You know, it is almost an ominous thing to do?'
*Ding: Host for the Nth time, please stop thinking that your story is a novel. Fate is a bitch and she has zero tolerance for drama and cringe situations. Get a grip of yourself, punk!*
Hao Ren was stunned, after all, it has been sometime since he had been scolded by the system. He took a deep breath and calmed his mind as he decided what to do for the rest of the day.
It was a day off for the couple while for the rest of the world toiled. Mrs. Hao was surrounded by a few ladies in the neighborhood who came over to meet Han Lingshi. The latter did not cause a fuss and met them all with great enthusiasm and talked about his childhood. She did not expect that the young man before her was among the idol child.
He may get average marks, but he was hardworking, and very disciplined.
Hao Ren served tea to the guests and then play mahjong with the bunch of old boys. It was only evening when the people walked away. Hao Ren and Han Lingshi came back to their room, and lay beside each other with huff. They exchanged a glance and burst out cackling. Hao Ren gradually held Han Lingshi in his arms, and the lady held a mobile next to her ear.
The call came from Young Master Ye who said, "President Han, everything is set up. Shun Yang has been taken into custody, and Old Master Sun has been told to step down his position in the central assembly on his own. The entire family is under the microscope. Even if someone managed to get away, their either they have too strong of the stars, or their crimes are petty among this lot."
Han Lingshi squirmed a bit in the embrace of the young man beside her, as she spoke in a cold tone, "Shun family still have a lot of connections, do not underestimate them. It will not end up good if we let any fish get out of the net. Young Master Ye, the chance is before you, how well you can reap the benefits from it is up to you."
Then she disconnected the call, and Hao Ren asked, "I take it that the Shun Family is finished?"
Han Lingshi shook her head as she said, "Ren, kingdoms are not build over night."
Hao Ren snuggled as he nodded, and suddenly he said, "I get turned on when you talk so coldly to others. I don't know why, I almost tore away the clothes."
Han Lingshi blushed slight before she smacked his arm around her waist, "I could feel what was going on with you. That's why I disconnected the call. I did not expect you to be a submissive."
Hao Ren was shocked and then he frolicked around with Han Ling before saying, "You are the submissive one."
Han Lingshi bit him on his shoulder and Hao Ren hissed. The battle began and the two of them bit each other in many spots where the others could not see them. They were already one in mind and heart, only the thin window paper separated the two of them. It was not long before the marriage ceremony to be held.
This level of intimacy was akin to the smoldering haystacks, one blow of wind and it will turn into a raging fire. After they calmed down, Han Lingshi took a deep breath and asked, "I was talking to Marcus about the prosthetic program you have come up with. Empress International will invest with you. It will be a joint charity venture. I will try to get more people onboard."
Hao Ren nodded and said, "Fine, you can handle those. I am going to be busy after we return. I want to oversee the re-development of the old industrial area and also to establish the research center. I think I should involve military cooperation in it."
Han Lingshi nodded and said, "You know that Dad used to serve in the military, right?"
Hao Ren nodded and the lady said, "I will ask him to back you if you fail."
The young man shook his head and said, "I won't so don't worry. It is not a secret that I am not a big fan of your father and grandfather, right?"
Han Lingshi nodded with a smile on her face. Suddenly, they fell silent when Han Lingshi received a call from her right hand person, Maya Okudera. She only said, "I will come over by tonight, keep them in the office."
Hao Ren asked, "Something serious?"
Han Lingshi shook her head and said, "Just some stupid stuff, would you like to come along?"
Hao Ren thought about it and said, "Yeah, you don't have to ask, I am coming."
With that, the two of them packed up, and came down to inform the parents and leave the place. Yue Shenlong liked the vibe here and wanted to stay for a few days. None, forced him, and left behind two guards with him.
Hao Ren was sure that something big has happened in the Jade Capital, and Han Lingshi was triggered by it. He prayed for the poor soul who messed with the Empress.
