Chapter 206 Preparations.
Hao Ren and Tang Zen returned home, the young man did not look good as he was covered with mud, twigs, and scratches. The first thing he did was to hit the shower, and clean himself properly.
Then he decided to rest a little. As he closed his eyes, he realized the subtle sound emitting from the air conditioner, and he could see the entire room in his mind in the form of a three dimensional model. Even his own figure on the bed was visible to him. After he closed his eyes and gradually fell asleep, the map still stayed active in his mind.
His consciousness was off, but his senses were subconsciously working fine. Yin was also resting on the bedside table with her master. After a few hours, Han Lingshi and the rest of the people came home. When the young lady saw Tang Zen, she asked where Hao Ren was, and her figure fluttered over to the bedroom.
She found him sleeping and approached him with silent steps. Yin raised her head to look at Han Lingshi, but the latter froze and made a quite gesture to the white snake, and Hao Ren chuckled lightly in his mind, he woke up when the door was pushed open, and he was ready to pull a prank on the prankster herself.
Han Lingshi put her knee on the bed and then leaned over to Hao Ren's ear, as she wanted to give him a jump scare, but she did not expect the young man to turn over and held her face to kiss her lips.
Han Lingshi was so shocked that she opened her eyes wide and flailed her arms around like a chicken. Hao Ren let her go after a few seconds, and the young lady smacked his shoulder. She complained, "Why didn't you react when you were awake?"
Hao Ren pulled her in his arms and said, "It was because I wanted to see what you would do. You naughty wife, you tried to scare your husband? What if I had a heart attack?"
Han Lingshi rolled her eyes at him and said, "You are a cultivator of the foundation establishment realm, have some confidence in your ability."
Hao Ren smiled as he looked at her and said, "I missed you, Naughty President Han."
Han Lingshi put away her upset expression and smiled while replying, "I missed you as well, Husband."
The two of them kissed each other and Hao Ren said, "Yin, can you close the door?"
The white snake flickered from her position, smacked the door with her delicate tail and the door was closed. Han Lingshi was surprised by this and then said, "Yang, go help her."
Yang got down her wrist and dashed over. She said, "These two are really strong."
Hao Ren did not reply, and pinned her down, before he claimed her lips and then the session of love and spring began. The young couple was busy upstairs, and the elders gathered in the living room.
Gao Yue asked, "How is Hao Ren's training coming up?"
Tang Zen smiled and replied, "His talent has surprised me and exceeded all that I expected of him. He will be fine when he goes in there."
Gao Yue raised her brow, and Tang Zen replied, "He comprehended the heart of the Mountain. It will play a significant role in his protection."
The people nodded and Tang Zen asked, "What about Lingshi?"
Hao Xinyuan replied, "She still needs sometime before she could go to the Spirit Shimmer Continent. Although her heart is in the right place and the modern world has given her the exposure of dealing with many different situations. However, she is not yet mentally prepared to dive head first. In that world, without a strong backing, she would not be able to do anything."
Tang Zen nodded, and the rest of the people agreed as well. The lady said, "We only have fifteen days before the array weakens enough for someone with Hao Ren's level to get through undetected. He said that he will discuss with Lingshi, but not going to lie, I do not have much hope."
The rest of the people exchanged glances and at this moment, Xia Yulie said, "Lingshi is far more ambitious than what we credit her for. I trust that she will not budge from this challenge. Two years for an eternity of unity and love is not too much in my eyes. Had they been stronger, we would not even need to be so hard on them."
...
In the evening, Hao Ren and Han Lingshi were laying under the covers, and the latter was resting her head on Hao Ren's chest. She asked, "When will you leave?"
Her soft voice, made Hao Ren's heart spike, and the young man said, "I wanted to talk to you about that. Ma said that the perfect opportunity will be opening up in the come two weeks. I am not sure if I should go or not?"
Han Lingshi nodded and said, "You should go. Believe me when I say that I do not want to push you far from me. I only wish that you grow stronger. You do not have to do anything they tell you. I can estimate how things work in the world where strength is the key to it all. I am weak, I am not very good at killing people.
It may look like that I am making you look in a bad light but the fact is that without your strength, my brain would not work. So, can you go ahead? I will try my best to complete my training as soon as possible and come over to your side."
Hao Ren smiled and pecked her forehead and he said, "Lingshi, you probably do not understand this, so let me tell you. A man's ego is very fragile. They will lay themselves down for the people they love without caring how the world saw them. I do not mind if you call me a weapon, or an executioner. As long as your gaze aimed at me does not change, nothing else matters to me."
Han Lingshi raised her head to look at him and pecked his lips sweetly as she said, "If there comes a day when my gaze changes, I hope the heavens obliterate my soul."
Hao Ren was shocked and he became angry as he said, "Are you stupid? How can you make such a vow? Do you realize the weight of your words?"
Han Lingshi replied calmly, "I know the weight, that is why I took the oath."
Hao Ren wanted to say something when he heard the system, *Ding: The wife has put her life at stake to prove her love to you. You have completed the hidden platinum quest. The leap of faith. You are rewarded with Moon time acceleration Hourglass." Explore more at empire
Hao Ren was shocked, and then he looked at Han Lingshi and the second time spring bloomed in the room. They did not held back at all when it came to love making.
After they were done, Han Lingshi said, "You remember what you promised me?"
Hao Ren nodded and replied softly, "The meal?"
Han Lingshi nodded and replied, "Good, you begin tomorrow."
The two of them spent the night holding each other in their arms. After the sun rose, Hao Ren cleaned up and decided to go back to his home and cook. He did not want the staff here to go crazy.
As he came to the bedroom, he found Han Lingshi sitting in a daze. He could not help but reach out to ruffle her hair and then he held her face gently and kiss her sweetly. Han Lingshi looked at him and said, "Did I not have enough of a bed hair that you had to do this? If I did not look good in the meetings, I will make you pay."
Hao Ren smiled and tapped the tip of her nose, "You are a cultivator, have some confidence in you."
Han Lingshi snorted, and the young man told her that he was heading back to the apartment, and the former nodded.
On the way out, Hao Ren met his mother, who was walking in the lawn of the Han Mansion. He approached her and said, "Ma, Lingshi agreed, we will leave at the decided time."
Tang Zen nodded with a smile, and then Hao Ren left in his car.
...
As soon as he sat down in his car, he asked, "System, what did you give me?"
*Ding: Host, please check the inventory and you will know.*
Hao Ren checked the inventory, and found a small hour glass, the size of his palm. He checked the information and his eyes opened wide. However, when he looked at the cost of using this item, his shock froze his soul.
He then thought about it and said, "Well, it is indeed a good device. I wonder if I will become OP by the time Lingshi comes over."
Then he laughed like a maniac, and then only after ten minutes, he drove away.
....
Dream's Poll: I want to ask you all to comment on this paragraph, whether you wish to see Hao Ren grow stronger step by step, or do you want a time-skip where he becomes the OP person who spoils his wife to no end?
You have two more chapters left before I decide.
