Chapter 358: Moans & Groans.
Hao Ren waited for the two children to leave the house, before he erected a barrier and kissed Han Lingshi. The young lady reciprocated his actions and the two of them began to undress each other. Soon, they made love to each other and the room echoed with moans of passion, and the bed creaked with every move they made.
The young man took his sweet time to savor the beauty in his arms. Han Lingshi grabbed his shoulders and her nails left white marks over his skin. The storm calmed down after a couple of hours, and the young man was left panting as he lay over Han Lingshi's chest.
Hao Ren took a deep breath and said, "Lingshi, you have gotten so naughty."
Han Lingshi smacked his shoulder and replied, "Aren't you the naughty one here? I will show you who is the naughty one if you seduce me the next time. Humph."
Hao Ren smiled faintly but did not say anything. He moved to lay down on the side, and asked, "I have talked with the Governors, and they have agreed to keep things simple."
Han Lingshi shrugged and said, "I don't know how much candid they will be. Well, forget it. By the way, don't you need to go back?"
Hao Ren turned to look out the window and said, "I think they can handle it on their own for the night."
He turned to his side and embraced the girl in his arms and said, "I haven't slept in a long time."
Han Lingshi smiled and said, "I haven't slept in a long time either."
The young couple snuggled together and they fell asleep gradually. They shared a rare moment of peace between them. As they grew stronger and took on more roles, they found it hard to spend time together. They loved each other so much that they could destroy worlds to make each other smile, but they had to strive forward on their paths as well.
Han Lingshi turned around and buried her head in his neck before she asked, "Ren, I miss you."
Hao Ren hummed and said, "I do too. I always wish that the dictator of fate had kept things simple. How wonderful it could have been?"
Han Lingshi nodded and said, "How about this, find the dictator of fate and then strangle him into making things better."
Hao Ren nodded and replied, "Yes, I would like that, but the dictator of fate is a dumbass behind a screen with the power to define our lives. I feel very helpless before him."
Han Lingshi was confused and asked, "What screen?"
Hao Ren did not wish to treat her like a child, but he could not answer her question answer her question truthfully either, so he said, "The screen is a veil of heaven."
Han Lingshi nodded and said, "True, how can a god be among us."
Hao Ren nodded and kissed her shoulder while he thought internally, 'You wimpy, sick bastard, make sure that I stay a one dimensional word character till eternity or I will come and beat the shit out of you. No wonder you cannot earn money and only suffer from sickness.'
The two spend the night in silence, and only when the sun came up, Hao Ren woke up right before the sunrise, he went out in the garden and absorbed the vital Yang energy before he smiled and then went back inside the house to cook something for Han Lingshi and the kids. After a light breakfast, he wanted to accompany her to palace, when a talisman lit up.
The young man was surprised and he sighed as Han Lingshi smiled and said, "Go ahead, I will see through the proceedings, try to come back for the martial competition. Yang will be fighting."
Hao Ren nodded and then with a quick move, he vanished from his spot and appeared next to the teleportation formation.
...
He came back to the house on the Northern Continent and asked, "What is going on?"
Ye Si was there to greet him. She said, "Liu family is consolidating their resources. I thought it was important."
Hao Ren nodded and asked, "Did you find out anything about their spirit vessels?"
Ye Si replied, "Yin has gone over to check the situation, and she will be coming back soon. We will know the status then."
The young man nodded and they walked out of the dungeon and came to rest in the living room. Hao Ren tapped the armrest of the couch rhythmically as he waited for Yin to come back. He suddenly thought of something and asked, "Where did Ma go?"
Ye Si replied, "Aunty left to gather intel the old way, by visiting taverns and travelling. She has taken a bunch of talismans with her and said that we don't have to worry as she is not on anyone's radar."
Hao Ren nodded and Ye Si said, "I have still sent a few guards under Volg's care. She is also carrying a home beacon talisman on her."
The young man nodded and replied, "You did good."
Yin walked in at the moment and said, "Liu Tianshan has coughed up blood when he got the news that the entire fleet has been captured by pirates. These pirates have met Liu family in the past.
The pirates decided to avenge their former elder and directly took down all spirit vessels and slayed all the Liu family people on the vessels. This included the young head of the family. At the moment, Liu family is intending to leave the city.*
Hao Ren nodded and said, "It's alright, after all, they are worried about the people they have suppressed in the past. Let them all go. Don't kill as we don't need to meddle in this. I am sure the Xue Family will make a move. Let's reap the rewards."
The two people nodded and they made the preparations to reap benefits from the fall of a big family. The damage to the alliance would cause the Hao Family to get on the ground and damage control. Hao Ren would use that chance to handle the members of the Hao Family. On the other side, Hao Mei was going to use the same tactic to deal with the same enemy.
…
Liu Tianshan led the Liu family outside the city and after a days journey, he and his entire family was surrounded. The old man looked at the people around him and said, "Old Xue, take all the wealth that I have. Just leave my family alone."
The old man was the head of Xue family. He smiled and replied, "I didn't expect you to act so cowardly after all these years, Old Liu. Is it because your foundation has been broken?"
Liu Tianshan looked calmly at his opponent and said, "It is true that I lost my fleet, and grandson. However, my foundation is still strong enough to take you down with me"
He radiated strong spiritual pressure from his body. Old Xue was shocked and he did not expect for Liu Tianshan to be alright. Old man Liu took a deep breathe and said, "Get lost."
Old man Xue vanished, however, Liu Tianshan did not give up his guard and waved for his people to keep moving. If he gave up his guard, and Old Xue found anything, it would become a tragedy real quick.

While Old Xue and his people were aiming to kill Liu Family, Yin and Hao Ren were ransacking the entire city. All the big names in the Xue Family were being assassinated in the dark of the night. Hao Ren was playing the Qin in his courtyard. A full moon light and soft music echoing through the city. The sight made people calm down.
This setting was completely not in favorable for assassinations but Yin and Hao Ren used this setting to do the unexpected. The entire upper echelon of the Xue administration were taken down and nobody noticed. All the big people of the family were taken down.
The next morning, Xue Family members that went out to hunt the Liu family were ambushed by Ye Si and Volg. They were already tired from the battle last night, and had no chance to defend themselves. Hao Ren stopped playing the music and smiled as he saw Ye Si coming back with a smile and blood stains on her person.
…
Hao Tian was practicing calligraphy as in the past two days he received the news that his allies in the two cities were doing good on business front. Just as he was about to drag the last stroke, the third elder rushed inside the room and said, "Family head, the alliance has collapsed. Xue Family and Liu family killed each other and same is the situation in the Cold Flame City."
The brush stopped in the spot and the ink began to blot. Hao Tian shivered and clenched his fists as he yelled, "It's all because of that Hao Xinyuan. I will kill him!"
