Note: Sorry for the blunder, I posted the chapter from another novel in a hurry.
Hao Ren and Mala were embroiled in the discussion of the array formation, and while doing so, Mala was flirting with him as well. Hao Ren did not want to let the chance miss, and was planting seeds of control in her mind by using his hypnotic skills.
At this moment, Ye Lan arrived, and she came directly to Hao Ren. The young man saw her face and raised his brow. Ye Lan said, "Big Brother, Sister-in-law sent a message."
Hao Ren nodded and excused himself for some privacy, before he followed Ye Lan to the side. The young man asked, "What is it?"
Ye Lan replied using her spiritual communication, "She said that if you do not come to see her in the evening, then she will divorce you."
Hao Ren was holding a book in his hands, and the shock was so sudden that he dropped the book and asked, "Are you sure she said that?"
Ye Lan nodded hurriedly and said, "You calm down, don't do anything rash okay?"
*Hehe, this is fun. How about I add to the incident? If you go to Han Lingshi, will I make your dick fall off your body? What do you say, shall I?*
Hao Ren clenched his fist and said, 'Can you stop with this tomfoolery? I have things to do.'
Hao Ren took a deep breath, picked up the book and went to Mala, who was gazing at the two of them trying to figure out what was going on. She saw Hao Ren approach and asked, "Is everything alright?"
The young man nodded and said, "I have some matters to attend to, we shall continue tomorrow."
That was it, he did not provide her any explanation and after putting the book back on the table he left. In his mind, his wife's angry face was revolving and he felt very anxious. After all these years, he had been careful to make sure that Lingshi did not feel jealous, he never looked at any other woman because he was dedicated to her. However, now all of a sudden, Han Lingshi gave him such an ultimatum. This scared him a bit.
The young man left the garden and moved through the corridors with Ye Lan in tow. He found that Han Lingshi was not present in the study. He quickly moved to look for her in the royal bedroom. However, the young lady was not present there either.
The young man frowned and asked, "Lan, where is Lingshi?"
Ye Lan was at a loss, she said, "When I left her, she was in the study. I don't know where she is."
Hao Ren frowned and closed his eyes to sense her but he could not sense her at all. He asked, 'Fucking system, did you do anything?'
*Bitch, who are you talking to ? I'll fuck you up, you bum. So busy chasing skirts that you don't even know where your wife is, and you want to be the omnipotent husband. Shitface. Go, look for her and don't disturb my slumber.* Official source is novᴇlfire.net
Hao Ren left the palace, went to the courtyard in the city. However, he could not find Lingshi there either. The young man began to think where she could have possibly gone. Thinking about it, he touched the Yin crystal around his neck and smiled.
Han Lingshi was hiding her presence to make things difficult for him, but he could still sense the Yang Energy from the Yang Crystal on her, and closed his eyes. The entire world gradually vanished from his senses, and only the presence of elements was left.
He sensed some storms and lightning raging around the coastal regions, and then he calmed down to remove them as well. Pure Yang crystal absorbed energy from the surroundings and it was very strong. The energy was collected inside the crystal before it was absorbed by Han Lingshi on regular intervals. Even if she were draining the crystal on purpose, it would be detectable by the changes in the surroundings. Pure Yang could not be erased similar to Pure Yin.
So the cultivation resource that she was using could be used to track her. After a few moments, Hao Ren located her presence in a place where they had erected a shack earlier. Thinking about it, he sighed and vanished from his position and traveled through the void at the speed of light.
He reached the shack and found Han Lingshi standing in the courtyard with her hands leaning over the fence and she was gazing at the turbulent ocean waves crashing against the coast.
Hao Ren landed beside her but he did not say anything. He did not know what to say, should he apologize for neglecting her? Should he try to appease her or should he own up to his mistake or all of these or would it be better to act as if nothing was wrong.
Hao Ren suddenly smiled and shook his head, Han Lingshi sensed his presence the moment he appeared beside her, and she asked, "What are you smiling about?"
Hao Ren put away the smile as he heard the cold in her voice, and said, "I am aware of my mistake, but while I wish to apologize, I am not sure on how to do it."
Han Lingshi turned around to look at him, she could see that he was distressed, although she did not like to see him , but how would she regain her value if she gave in to him with this much ease?
She turned to look away and asked, "Why do you care, Ren? In the past week, how many times did I come to visit you? Are you so lost in your things that I am no longer of relevance?"
Hao Ren shook his head and wanted to explain himself but Han Lingshi said, "I know that you have only me in your heart, and that you were focused on learning as much as you can from that girl. However, do you think this senseless pursuit of knowledge would do you good? What is the point of it all if you forget about what you are?"
Hao Ren began to contemplate the question and after a few moments, he said, "I accept, I was wrong, and got so focused on learning that I developed a tunnel vision."
Han Lingshi nodded and said, "Now that you have realized your mistake, you have to make up for it."
The young man asked, "What do you want me to do?"
Han Lingshi looked at the depths of the ocean and said, "I don't know, take me boating."
Hao Ren was stunned by how simple this request was. However, Han Lingshi said, "I want you to carve a boat from that loved Oak Tree you have in the garden."
Hao Ren sensed his lips twitch because the tree she was talking about was used by Mala to sit under the shade while carving her formations. However, he took a deep breath and said, "Yes, I will get it right away."
He vanished from his position and reappeared in the garden. Mala was sitting under the oak tree and carving formations on a jade tree. When she finished the jade plate cracked, and Hao Ren said, "Miss Mala, if you don't mind, can you move your workstation to the other side?"
Mala asked, "What happened? Master Hao, is everything alright?"
Hao Ren nodded and said, "I need this tree for something."
Mala raised her brow and Hao Ren said, "This tree is not a spiritual tree, and I raised it for a purpose. Today happens to be the day when I need it. Young Miss Gram, I apologize for the abruptness, but it is important."
Mala could not figure out what was wrong in this situation but she nodded and moved her work desk away from the tree. Hao Ren waved his hand and the tree truck was chopped from the middle and then stored it all inside his space ring.
Then he flew away again. Mala could not tell what was going on but Hao Ren seemed very rushed. She wanted to follow him, but after sensing where he went she could not find his presence.
The lady was surprised, and soon, Ye Yue came over. These days, apart from Hao Ren, Ye Yue has become a close friend of hers. She asked, "Yue, why is Master Hao looking so anxious."
Ye Yue chuckled, Ye Lan had told her what was going on, and she said, "Big Brother forgot that it is a special day today."
Mala was confused and Ye Yue said, "Well, I cannot tell you, it is a secret of his. Only Sister-in-law knows about it. So, she reminded him and he got to work."
Ye Yue began to lead Mala around in circles with ease, as they conversed. While on the other side of the continent, Hao Ren took out the big tree in the courtyard and began to carve a boat from its truck. Han Lingshi watched his expression and felt satisfied.
