Chapter 244 Reunited. (Big Chapter)
Han Lingshi felt the world around her turn into a blur, and the next moment she regained control on her senses, she was standing before a palace that seemed to have been made up of crystals and glass. However, the delicateness did not make the appearance weak. On the contrary, the huge scale of the palace made it look very domineering and filled with authority.
Yin and Yang stood beside her and they both said, "Welcome to the Crescent Moon Palace."
Han Lingshi took a deep breath and looking at the two children she asked, "Can someone tell me what is going on here? Why are we at a palace?"
A calm voice sounded beside her, "Because your doting husband wanted you to have a lavish and comfortable home. He oversaw the entire construction for a whole year."
Han Lingshi turned around and found Maya Okudera walking over to her side in a golden and black robe. Han Lingshi noticed the change in her aura and asked, "Maya, what happened to you?"
The lady smiled and replied, "I reached the peak of golden core realm yesterday, that happened."
Han Lingshi was shocked to hear this and asked, "Where is Ren?"
Maya sighed and replied, "I am not sure of his whereabouts, Yin can tell you better."
The two pairs of eyes turned to look at Yin, who sighed and said, "Well, Big Brother had been conquering the four kingdoms and today he has gone to handle the final obstacle, the ancestor of the Rising Sun Dynasty."
Han Lingshi took a deep breath and asked, "Will Ren be okay? How can he fight against so many people alone?"
Maya Okudera chuckled and said, "Come, let us go inside and then you will know the true strength of your husband."
Han Lingshi was surprised, and she went inside the palace. The decorations of the place were luxurious but minimalist. She could not help but try to estimate how much it must have costed for Hao Ren to build this place.
After entering the palace gates, Han Lingshi was led through the corridors, and soon brought to a place that looked like a courtroom. She looked at the throne that had a back rest designed like a crescent moon, and the entire place seemed to be made up of white jade and gold.
Maya said, "This is the courtroom, after your coronation, you will lead the place from here, and these are all your people."
Han Lingshi looked at the two dozen girls standing in two neat rows. Half of them wore Black and golden robes, while the other half wore black and red robes. She asked in confusion, "Who are they?"
Yin replied, "They are all people who were rescued by Big Brother Hao, and trained by him. Big Brother gave them the surname Ye."
A teenage girl could not help but lean forward and turn her head to look at Han Lingshi before she let out a whistle, shocking everyone. The girl standing beside her raised her hand and smacked the troublemaker in the head.
The teenager rubbed the back of her head and said, "Why are you hitting me? I will tattle on you."
The latter did not reply. Yin sighed and said, "The trouble maker is Ye Si, the youngest but the strongest of the shadow guard, she only listens to Big Brother Ren. The pacifier is the wisest and the most apt leader of the shadow guard, Ye Lan. She will not be your subordinate."
Han Lingshi pressed her palm against her forehead and asked, "What do you all mean? How did Hao Ren manage to conquer the entire four kingdoms just like this? What is going on here?"
Maya smiled and wanted to say something when Yin said, "He is back, you should as him."
Suddenly, there was loud noise of a man scolding, "Huh! Why the hell is this chandelier placed here? Where did Kim go? If everything is not in place when Lingshi gets here I will beat the hell out of you all. Fucking, I have to do everything myself."
A calm voice sounded, "Young Master, you worry too much, everything will be fine. How can Young Miss not love you over a silly chandelier not being placed right?"
Hao Ren snorted and replied, "You speak as if you have dated women, you virgin brat. Get lost, when she finds out the time difference, she will feel bad and not to talk about all the things here. Oh, heavens this is so distressing. Had it not been for the fact that I extended the realm limit to cross through the barrier. I wish I could turn back time and stay out there with her forever."
Han Lingshi heard this and some of her anger calmed down. She turned around and stormed out of the room with big strides. Yang wanted to follow her when Yin dragged the back of his collar and said, "No slacking. Sister Yue, take him to practice with you."
Yue smiled and nodded silently. However, Ye Si skipped about and followed Han Lingshi.
...
In a corridor outside the courtroom, Hao Ren was standing in the void carefully hooking the moon stone chandelier to the ceiling. On the floor stood three young men all dressed in black and white robes with crescent moon pins on the lapels.
Hao Ren finished hooking the chandelier and then glared at Ye Jian before he scolded, "If you lot dared to come back without complete proof, I swear I will beat you up. If that old skeleton was to wait and come back to mess things up when Lingshi was to be coronated who would handle it?"
Suddenly, he raised his head and looked at Jian with a surprised expression and asked, "What the fuck are you doing here? Didn't I ask you to go and escort Lingshi over?"
Ye Jian shook his head slightly and raised his hand to point behind Hao Ren. The young man felt a twitch develop on his eye and asked, "Why are you pointing behind me you blade brain? Argh, I might turn old before meeting my wife because of you all. Oh heavens!"
He raised his hand to push his hand down but at the same time he instinctively looked behind him. The next moment he froze. Han Lingshi was gazing at him dressed in a blue and white hanfu, as her hair cascaded down on her shoulders. Her ears adorned with small jade earrings, and her face had a very light make-up to it.
Hao Ren forgot about scolding everyone, and the people took a hint and dispersed in different directions. No Ye Si though, she was dragged away by Ye Jian.
Hao Ren stood gazing at Han Lingshi as if he has seen a ghost. Han Lingshi was also taking her time looking at him. Her sunny smiling husband had changed a lot in these years he has been toiling in the spirit shimmer continent.
The young man before her had waist long black hair, his face depicted a lot of maturity that he lacked before, but the sparks of playfulness in his eyes was still the same as ever. She could not help but reveal a faint smile.
The next moment she sensed a warmth embracing her. Followed by the warmth a subtle sense of suffocation assaulted her. She opened her eyes and patted Hao Ren's back hurriedly. The young man before her had hugged her so tight that she was at a lose for breath.
Hao Ren woke up and hurriedly released her as he asked, "Lingshi, are you okay? I am sorry, I forgot to keep my strength in check. Are you hurt? Oh, well, I will call Ye Liu over."
He looked up while rubbing Han Lingshi's back and yelled, "Liu! Come over, Lingshi is hurt."
Han Lingshi had already gathered herself, and reacted, "No, Ren, I am fine, you do not have to call anyone."
Hao Ren looked at her worriedly. Ye Si was watching the two from a distance and mumbled, "If the world knew that the Wandering Dragon, Hao Ren, is such a wife pleaser, they would go crazy."
Hao Ren turned to look at her with a narrowed gaze, and the young lady rushed away. Han Lingshi also had enhanced senses, and could not help but smile. She held Hao Ren's arm, "Wandering Dragon Hao Ren, honey, does your wife know you are so arrogant outside the house?"
Hao Ren looked at her, and then he could not help but chuckle. He picked her up in his arms and spun on his spot as he said, "I love you, My dear. I missed you a lot."
Han Lingshi raised her arms and coiled them around his neck as she said, "I missed you too."
She leaned in and kissed his lips. All her anger was washed away when she saw Hao Ren, and when he panicked because she felt suffocated in his embrace, she recalled how careful he was towards her. This kiss was an expression of her longing and love for him.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
However, even though she took the initiative, she was soon drowned in by the flood of passion that Hao Ren had been holding back all these years. For him, it has been almost twenty years since he saw her. She was the only woman in his mind and it was for her that he build the military, took down kingdoms. He wanted the Crescent Moon Kingdom to be a gift for her.
After a few minutes, they broke the kiss, Han Lingshi was taking in deep breaths, but her eyes were brimming with the desire of passion. Hao Ren sighed and said, "Do not tempt me, love. Your physique is not yet strong enough to handle me in that state."
Han Lingshi raised her brow and asked, "What do you mean by that? How strong have you become?"
Hao Ren took a deep breath and said, "Well, last year, I reached the peak of Planetary Realm. I can destroy the entire kingdom with a blow if I want to. However, I am stuck at a bottleneck."
Han Lingshi opened her eyes wide and asked, "Did you become Omnipotent?"
Hao Ren shook his head and replied, "No, not yet. Forget it, I have a lot to talk to you about."
Han Lingshi nodded and said, "First, I want to hear what happened here and what have you done?"
Hao Ren nodded, and then he walked through the corridors while carrying her in his arms. He was wearing a white hanfu as well, and they both looked very picturesque with each other. Han Lingshi did not feel shy as well because she missed his touch and his fragrance.
After a while, the two of them appeared in a garden where there was a pavilion surrounded by wisteria trees. The green grass surrounded the wooden pavilion and Hao Ren said, "This is where I spend most of my time with Yin and Yang. They come here to cultivate at night."
Han Lingshi nodded and the young man carried her to a chair placed in the center of the pavilion. She noticed that the pavilion was also surrounded by a man-made pond with lots of fish inside. She said, "This is a beautiful place Ren."
Hao Ren sat her down on the chair, and he himself sat down on a stool next to her feet. He removed her shoes gently and massaged her small feet. Han Lingshi ran her fingers through his long hair and Hao Ren said, "Well, so the Warring Nation was the first place where I started making moves. They held a competition where I killed a prince, and then demanded to go to the Forbidden Area.
That site is closer to the Tiger sabre mountain. Inside their is an ancient tiger beast. Anyone who can withstand one move from it was considered worthy of being a general. Two moves, make you a duke, and if you can withstand five, then you can become the King. That old guy is a Dao Formation Realm entity.
I used some tricks and tamed after taking five moves. Then I came back with the old tiger and made the Warring Nation people, who considered strength to be supreme to bend the knee. The fifth Princess of the royal family was a friend and she did not want anything else but to practice martial arts, so I gave her the title of an honorary duke.
Then with the help of old tiger, the strong forces of this region were subdued and assimilated. Jian, Lan, Jill, Peng, and Yin manage the strong people. Thankfully Maya came over, and she began to handle the management of the resources and logistics with Sister Xi and Yan.
Hao Mei's force was a big help so they are now responsible for running the Crescent Moon Restaurants. They are the information gathering units. You can say they are the central nervous system of this whole kingdom."
Han Lingshi nodded and asked, "Did you suffer a lot?"
Hao Ren raised his head to look at her and replied, "It was worth it. Forget it, aren't we together now?"
Han Lingshi looked at him and for some reason her heart felt heavy and she could not help but shed a tear.
Hao Ren rose up from his spot and quickly used his sleeve to gently wipe away the tears and asked, "Why are you crying? Were you not here to talk to me? Had it not been you, how could I have come so far?"
Han Lingshi embraced him and said, "I love you, Ren. I am grateful to have you, but please do not do anything like this ever again. Do not bear everything alone, the guilt in my heart is too heavy. Promise me that you will never do something like this again."
Hao Ren took a deep breath and nodded, promising her in silence. At this moment, *Ding: Host...*
