Omnipotent Husband System

Chapter 125: Test.

Hao Ren spent the night sitting on the bed with his eyes locked to the void where Hao Mei was standing earlier. He was lost, because he never thought that his family would have tricked him like this. The young man looked as if a mannequin had been placed in his spot.

On the other hand, Han Lingshi was laying on the bed, and her eyelids were twitching. If her husband has been himself, he would have checked on her, but tonight they were both going through the biggest change of their lives.

Han Lingshi was dwelling in a dream where she was standing before herself. However, the difference between the two figures was shocking. Even if Han Lingshi was a person who could make the most beautiful women on the planet feel mediocre, but her own reflection before her was ten times superior to her.

The other Han Lingshi stood dressed in a moonlight blue robe which gave an impression of flowing water. Her hair was tied in a bun with a white and silver hair pin holding it in place. The reflections was only as pretty as Han Lingshi, but her temperament was something that the present Han Lingshi could not match with.

The reflection smiled and asked, "Are you wondering who I am?"

Han Lingshi was surprised but then nodded, and the reflection replied, "I am your own self that resides deep within your heart. The one who wishes to be the empress of it all. The one who wants to grow strong to the level where even the heavens is under my control."

Han Lingshi raised her eyebrow and said, "That sounds very arrogant of myself."

The reflection chuckled and said, "Well, if it is any relief, it is you who thinks like that."

Han Lingshi smiled and said, "Yes, I do think like that and sometimes but I am wise enough to know when to stop and to advance. Arrogance is the reason why many fall."

The reflection nodded and said, "Some people are blessed with the capital to really be arrogant and remain untouched. You are among those people, however..."

Han Lingshi asked, "However?"

The reflection replied, "However, you are bound by a dead weight."

Han Lingshi frowned and the reflection waved her hand in the void. Between the two another image appeared, Han Lingshi raised her brow and asked, "What is the meaning of this?"

The reflection smiled as she replied, "This is your dead weight."

The image between the two belonged to Hao Ren, the young man was gazing at Han Lingshi with his trademark sunny smile. The reflection of Han Lingshi said, "I know that you want to take him along with you on the path of cultivation, but do you really think he would be able to achieve anything?"

Han Lingshi smiled and replied confidently, "He will."

The reflection chuckled and said, "You don't even know the difference between the dynamics of the two worlds, how can you be so sure? I did not expect my consciousness to be so naive."

Han Lingshi did not know but the reflection before her was an inner demon residing inside her heart. All her life she had been superior to the other people. Now that she see Hao Ren growing stronger and a staggering place before her, it seemed that she was losing her grip on her circumstances.

The cultivation technique of the Nine Empress Revolutions could not be practiced by those who had doubts in their hearts. Hao Mei had tried to practice it, but she held her in guilt over hurting Hao Ren. When she gave Han Lingshi this technique she had thought that this girl who had everything in her life would be fine, but Han Lingshi was also in doubt. Humans, no matter rich or poor.

If they came across someone who is better than them, they would become competitive and they will doubt themselves.

Han Lingshi watched the reflection chuckle loudly and replied calmly, "Even if he is my baggage, I am willing to carry him along with me. He is my husband and has done a lot of things for me which nobody else has ever done. How can I leave him alone just because I can get stronger? Have you never heard that a strong person is the loneliest? I would rather be with him than become strong."

The reflection calmed down and looked at Han Lingshi for a prolonged moment and asked solemnly, "Are you sure that you will stick with your words, Han Lingshi? You could have anything and anyone as long as you give up on this guy. He is just one guy what can he value when compared to the world?"

Han Lingshi smiled with a faint smile on her face, "He is my world. The rest of the world means nothing compared to him. Since you are me, do you not know that Han Lingshi never changes her decisions? Get going, I'd rather be by his side than being the Empress of the world."

The reflection tried to convince her many times, sometimes she would show her the wonders of the world, and sometimes she will show millions of people bowing to her. After a long contest, Han Lingshi was effected, but she still maintained her resolve and stood firm.

Lastly, Han Lingshi was standing before a mirror, and she was wearing a gilded robe with a vermillion phoenix carved out of solid gold sat over her head. The people surrounded her, but Han Lingshi did not seem to look exciting.

The reflection in the mirror asked, "Would you give up on him if you knew that it will make him strong?"

Han Lingshi chuckled and then asked, "If you were truly my inner thoughts, you would know that Hao Ren loves me a lot. Do you know what happens to those who love you this much? If you break their hearts, they begin hating you, and I don't want Hao Ren to hate me. If you are done with this facade, I need to go back and look after him."

...

Rays of sunlight peeked through the curtains and Han Lingshi slowly opened her eyes. She sensed a shallow almost unrecognizable warm current flowing through her body. The lady took a deep breath and touched her forehead before looking around. She found that Hao Ren was sitting on the edge of the bed, but she noticed his shoulders were slouched.

She called for him softly, "Ren."

A few moments past, she frowned and sat up from the bed as she said, "Ren, can you hear me?"

Hao Ren did not react, but then Han Lingshi noticed that the young man was trembling. Han Lingshi was surprised, she got out of the blanket and walked around the bed to come before him. When she saw Hao Ren, she was shocked, his face was pale, his cheeks were stained with tear trails. She asked, "Ren, what happened?"

Hao Ren did not reply to her, he was staring at the void lost in his own thoughts. Han Lingshi reached out to touch his forehead and gasped. Hao Ren had high fever, and was trembling. She could not understand what was going on and shook him up as she called out his name, "Hao Ren!"

The call was more like a shout that caused the stoned eyes to glisten again. Hao Ren saw Han Lingshi and smiled as he said, "Good that you are fine. I was afraid.."

Before he could say anything a thread of red trickled down the corner of his lips. Han Lingshi was shocked, she held his shoulders and asked, "Ren, are you okay? What is going on with you? I will take you to the hospital." Enjoy exclusive adventures from m-v l'-NovelBin.net

Hao Ren shook his head and said, "I will be fine with a little rest. It's just that I sensed spiritual energy and then it all went haywire because I got excited."

Han Lingshi frowned, as she sensed something was odd about it. She asked in a stern tone, "Ren, you dislike if I hide things from you right? Then why are you hiding things from me?"

Hao Ren looked at her for a few minutes before tears trickled down his eyes and he began to bawl as he weakly held her hands. Han Lingshi was left speechless, she could not help but embrace him in her bosom as if Han Ren was a peace of fragile glasswork that could fall apart with the gentlest of touch.

Han Lingshi was about to ask him when the young man said, "They all fooled me Lingshi, they all fooled me. They hid things from me, and Hao Mei also fooled me into thinking that she is dead. You know I used to sleep on her grave, clean it as if it was herself. Yet, they never told me."

He buried his heart in her chest as he cried out, and Han Lingshi's face turned cold, as she realized that the young man had discovered the truth. She was afraid that Hao Ren would be devastated when he finds out. She did not expect her fears to come true so quickly.

She patted his back gently and said, "Ren, I am here for you, am I not?"

Hao Ren did not answer and kept crying, the couple was going to face tests of life. These tests won't be easy, but if they passed, they will become stronger, if they failed, then life can be very unforgiving to the weak.
