Omnipotent Husband System

Hao Ren had a meal with Han Lingshi in the noon before he took off to the so-called southern seas. The young man moved quickly through the void, on the way he met the Dao Integration realm Ye Generals and asked them to raise the security levels. The military had been mobilized into a defensive stance to make sure that none of the silly neighbors tried anything stupid.

All this took him a few hours, and the situation was handled before Hao Ren flew to the southern coast. He flew past the coast line, and reached a place where stood a tiny island in the ocean. The place was not more than a few kilometers, but Hao Ren was attracted to this because location because of the aura coming from here.

As soon as he was about to land on the ground, a young lady appeared before him and immediately knelt on the ground before she asked, "Your Excellency, please be merciful on us."

Hao Ren looked at the young lady and was astounded, then he snorted and asked, "Do not use your charm on me."

The young lady nodded, and she asked humbly, "How may I be of service to you, your excellency?"

Hao Ren replied with a question, "What is your name?"

The young lady replied, "My name is Mira. I am a spirit beast king of this region."

Hao Ren nodded, and asked, "Can you tell me where I can find a place to cultivate?"

Mira replied with her bowed on the road, "Lord, you can use my island as your cultivation abode. The spiritual energy here is balanced."

Hao Ren took a deep breath as he looked around the island with his Yin and Yang eyes for any oddities. After a few minutes, he nodded and replied, "Thank you. When I am done, I will repay this favor."

Mira wanted to say something but Hao Ren's status made her hold her mouth mum. She knew that no matter how hard she would try to hold on to the thighs of this young man it would not be easy and he might even smack her to mincemeat in a move.

Hao Ren entered the wilderness and sat on top of a tree crown with his legs crossed and eyes closed. He began the process of absorbing the spiritual energy in the surroundings.

…

Han Lingshi sat in the study with a cold expression on his face. She was reading some documents and called, "Ye Yin."

A figure cladded in a black cloak walked out of the shadows. She knelt next to Han Lingshi and asked, "My lady."

Han Lingshi threw the scroll at her and said, "Clean up the imperial service department. I want you to make an example out of them. Slay the people, hang them on the squares. Crescent moon is merciful and gentle, but we do not tolerate corruption, and misusers."

Ye Yin picked up the scroll, it was a jade scroll with the Imperial seal on it. She took a deep breath and replied, "The general has accepted the decree. In the morning, it will be done."

Han Lingshi may look gentle but she was so cold that ice might have some warmth to it but the Holy Moon Queen did not. The people on the grassroots were used to tolerating the corrupt and the powerful, but that pattern did not work for her. Only she and Hao Ren must hold absolute power, and after them it was the people.

She was not creating a nation that needed her, but a society that could function on its own. They wanted to set an example of how leaders should be so that they don't even have to go to war and the masses would come to them on their own.

After Ye Yin departed to set the plan in motion, Han Lingshi began to check the details of the other policies and the feedback received from the people to come up with a better amendment with Xiao Mei's help. Improving policies was an everlasting process because there were multiple aspects to consider, and Han Lingshi wanted the people to receive the best of the benefits that the government could provide.

She spent half an hour before she said, "Lan."

Ye Lan pushed open the study door and walked inside. She bowed in greeting and Han Lingshi said, "Can you find Grandmaster Xi for me, please?"

Ye Lan nodded and quickly left the place to find Xi. Han Lingshi knew that the Ye Generals did not like Xi much but she was a vital cog. Thankfully the dislike they had for Xi never stood in the way of their progress.

After ten minutes, Xi came inside the study and bowed her head. Han Lingshi gestured her to take a seat and asked, "I was thinking if we should equip the city management offices and the employees with small cameras and record everything they do whilst on duty?"

Xi nodded and said, "I also wanted to talk to you about this, but they might notice when we go through the installation of the cameras. I read in a book on human mind that Xiao Mei gave me, and found that people under observation display different behavior patterns if they know they are being monitored.

If we hide it from them and find them slacking, we might be able to punish them but it will brew a lot of hatred among the civil servants. The situation will not prove to be good for us in the long run. Even if we have the power, we cannot kill everyone. Right?"

Han Lingshi thought for a bit and said, "We will record them, if there are people who do bad things, the people will decide what needs to be done with them. If they legislate that these people should be killed, they would be killed. Tell the civil servants and the populace at the same time about the monitoring. Play them both and make sure they are all in line."

Xi was surprised, but after some thinking, she found that this was probably the best way to deal with things and make sure that everyone is co-regulating each other. It was not that the Civil Servants were openly brash, they all feared that if a common citizen raised a complaint, they will lose their jobs or something even worse, while the common people thought that even the upper management was a part of the chain and they also harassed them.

Although in the past six months, nobody had dared to reached out to much, but Han Lingshi did not wish to wait for any bad incidents before she acted.

…

Hao Ren had the Moon Time Acceleration Hourglass with him, so he was spending his lifespan to quicken the process. The suction of the spiritual energy was so strong that it created a big vortex in the sky.

Mira was standing at the edge of the island and her face was pale. She had taken it upon herself to guard the land because of the senior cultivating here, but she did not know that the man would cause such a phenomenon here.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

She looked at the calm waters and sensed that many spirit beasts were approaching the island. She wanted to do something when multiple sword lights erupted from the center of the island and crashed into the ocean water. It caused ripples a few moments later, the waters were stained with blood.

Hao Ren took action and silenced the spirit beasts. Mira took the opportunity and said, "An exalted senior is cultivating on the island, do not approach if you do not wish to die. Get lost."

Her voice echoed in the surroundings before things calmed down. After seven days, Hao Ren opened his eyes and looked at the sky. The black clouds brimming with red lighting appeared above the island. He shot up in the void and came out of the island before waving his hand and casting a protective barrier around it.

He looked at Mira and said, "My tribulation has come, thank you for the aid, if I get through, their will be a good reward waiting for you, little Beast King."

Mira realized that her true realm has been seen through but she did not blush or anything, and just bowed her head in acceptance.

Lightning bolts fell from the clouds, hit Hao Ren, who absorbed them and scattered them. The energy he scattered around was absorbed by the spirit beasts in the ocean. They ate the lightning as a form of tonic to grow stronger.

The tribulation burned Hao Ren's spiritual energy reserves and refined them into chaos energy wisps. By the time the ninth bolt had receded, Hao Ren was left with twenty-five chaos energy wisps. His body was healing when the notification sounded, *Ding: Congratulation host, for reaching the Star Annihilation realm, you have acquired twenty-five strands of Chaos Energy, in addition, the rewarded strands of energy from the system will now be infused inside as well.*

Duke Wen Kain stood on the balcony of the royal palace with a head in his hand raised high. He yelled, "Stop! The king is dead. I am now in charge."
