Omnipotent Husband System

Chapter 140: Getting Back On Track.

The family ate dinner in harmony. It has been a long time since Hao Ren dined with his family with such ease. It would be a lie to say that everything cleared up. The crack between them had been there for a few years, it wouldn't vanish with the snap of their fingers.

Hao Ren took a deep breath and looked at Han Lingshi, who took the cue and asked, "Grandma, I would like to know the truth about our family's past."

Gao Yue sighed and said, "I knew you were up to something."

Han Lingshi smiled and Gao Yue spoke in a soft voice, "Gao, Han, Xia, and Yue. We were the four families who protected the borders of a small kingdom in the south of the Spirit Shimmer Continent..."

Before she could say anything, Hao Xinyuan commented, "The four guardians of Moon Spirit Kingdom. A small kingdom, but a remarkable one."

The people of the Han Family side were shocked and Hao Xinyuan began to briefly explain their own origin. Hao Ren leaned in close to Han Lingshi and said, "Royalty."

Han Lingshi sensed his hand creeping along her thigh and she held it to stop his movement and said, "This is a capital offence."

Hao Ren whispered, "I am forever your prisoner."

Han Lingshi blushed a bit and Hao Mei cleared her throat. She looked at the two love sick people and said, "We are in the middle of a discussion. Behave yourself."

Hao Ren clicked his tongue and sighed, "Fine."

Han Lingshi smiled as Hao Ren sat upright. Gao Yue greeted Hao Xinyuan and Tang Zen as she said, "Yes, Moon Spirit Kingdom was small but we were strong. However, the bigger the power, the greedier they are.

The geographical location of the Moon Spirit Kingdom allowed us to harvest moon essence, one of the most sought after refining element. Whether it was an alchemist, formation master, rune master or other experts, they all came to buy the chance to trade the essence.

The surrounding countries did not like that, and they staged a four directional attack. I was twenty seven years old at that time and fought for seven days before my father made me leave with a few other young members of the four families.

We were discovered and to save us, Old Han exploded his golden core. Forfeiting his cultivation. Then, we decided to stay here. Old Yue enrolled in the military so that they overlook all of us. While we immersed ourselves in mortal lives.

Han Tang is my son, while Han Ming was a child we adopted. Xiao Yelia was caught up with him because of her father wanted her to live in a family he could trust."

Then as Gao Yue continued speaking, they found out that Han Tang was a peak yellow realm or body refining expert and has been serving in the military to justify his cultivation. Yue Shi, Han Lingshi's mother was a core refinement level cultivator. Xia Yelia was also initial core formation realm cultivator.

However, to Hao Ren's surprise, the strongest of the bunch was Gao Yue, as for Old Man Yue, he was only at peak of core refinement.

Hao Ren gulped and asked, "Empress Hao, what's your realm?"

Tang Zen glared at him but since everyone revealed their realms, she said, "Peak Void Transformation."

Hao Xinyuan spoke in a humble tone, "Middle Void Transformation."

The people were shocked and then they looked at Hao Mei who said, "Intermediate Core Formation."

Gao Yue opened her eyes wide and remarked, "I knew that the people from the north were stronger, but this is the first time I am witnessing this in person."

Hao Ren leaned back in the chair and asked, "How strong do we need to be before we can safely enter the Spirit Shimmer Continent?"

Tang Zhen replied, "Entering safely is not enough. If you are going there, you will need to have the potential to grow stronger and fend off ferocious beasts, spirit beasts, and most of all, shitty animals who walk on two legs."

Gao Yue nodded and said, "I agree, you would need to reach the core formation realm within a year."

Hao Ren and Han Lingshi were surprised and the young man asked, "Are you serious? How am I going to run the business? Old Master Han wouldn't even look twice towards me had I not passed on Crown International to Lingshi. Also, since you lot are cultivators, why the hell do you care about money so much?"

Old Man Han sighed and said, "The reason we want so much money is to cover your raging providence."

The two youngsters did not know what the old man was talking about. Gao Yue said, "Providence is representation of the fate or fortune of a person. Money and wealth are the concept of mortal world. However, people from the cultivation world care about strength and only strength.

Legends state that once you have defeated a person with a strong providence you gain a part of it and if you kill them before they have used much of their fortune, you gain their providence.

Lingshi was born under the providence of the Phoenix. One of the rarest of all, if some old ghost saw her, they might refine her into a pill and absorb her providence."

Hao Ren took a deep breath and said, "It would be nice if you guys can clear such demonic facts earlier. Why do you people like to hide things so much?"

The elders had no answer, Hao Ren said, "I can venture ahead of Lingshi if that's the case."

Han Lingshi was surprised and held his hand while, Hao Mei said, "Well, do you think you are any different then her? You were born under dragon providence, otherwise she wouldn't even look at you, dumbo."

Hao Ren took a deep breath and asked, "What do you mean? I am destined for great things?"

Tang Zen rolled her eyes and said, "The greatest thing you did in your life was meeting Lingshi."

Hao Ren nodded and replied, "Correct, saving you was a waste of time."

Tang Zen glared at him but Hao Ren did not care. The people discussed a lot of things before the Han Family members decided to leave for the night and the young couple also retired to their bedroom.

The two of them freshened up and lay down in each other's arms. Han Lingshi pinched his forearm, she was acting like a teenager, getting angry but not telling people why she was angry.

The lady took a deep breath and asked, "How dare you say that you will venture in before me?"

Hao Ren held her close to his body and said, "How can I let you go to face danger alone? What will I do if something happened?"

Han Lingshi shook her head and said, "Ren, I.."

Hao Ren turned her over and kissed her lips passionately. The lady was confused but she gave in to desire. The young man broke the kiss after a few minutes and said, "I will not stop you, but you cannot go in alone. I will share your dream, will you share my fears? I will walk beside you, would you match my pace, dear?"

Han Lingshi heard the phrases and nodded before she held his face and kissed him. They did everything but stopped before crossing the final limit.

...

Hao Mei sat in her parents room, and Hao Xinyuan said, "When you return, gather more information but don't put yourself in danger."

Hao Mei nodded and asked, "Why did you push him so much?"

She was pointing towards how her parents asked her brother to reach the core formation realm within the time period of a year. She thought this condition was unfair.

Hao Xinyuan said, "I have started cultivating. It will take a few years to recover my foundation. They would be hard pressed to find off for themselves if they were to stay this week."

Hao Mei sighed and said, "Fine, I will get going now."

Hao Xinyuan nodded and hugged the girl before she vanished from her position. Tang Zen took a deep breath and said, "I am getting the silent treatment."

Hao Xinyuan replied, "You deserve it."

While the older couple was facing friction. The younger couple was laying together sensing each other's warmth.

Hao Ren waited for Han Lingshi to fall asleep and the system said, *Ding: Host, the task has been completed, do you wish to withdraw your reward?*

The young man replied, "Yes."

*Ding: Host, your are rewarded with ten steps of the lion technique. As long as you use those technique, your aura will increase at every step. This technique can be used to intimidate the enemy and gain an upper hand in the confrontation."

Hao Ren took a deep breath and said, "I am grateful to you, System."

*Ding: Host, be grateful to your wife.*

Hao Ren thought this skill was good and handy. He looked forward to his daily life getting back on track from now.
