Hao Ren and Han Lingshi had a small session of love making in their bedrooms, before Han Lingshi realized that it was close to dinner time. She hurriedly sat up and asked, "You said that there would be guests tonight. Shouldn't we get ready?" Hao Ren sighed and sat up in the bad as he looked at Han Lingshi whose snowy shoulders were exposed from under the sheets. He nodded gently and said, "Yes, you should get ready, I have already finished making food and stored it in my space ring. We don't even have to reheat it." Han Lingshi nodded and she stood up to walk inside the cloaking room. She put on a traditional Yellow Han Traditional Skirt. She did not need makeup, but the young man put on an illusion technique on her face to cover her identity. Imagine if the neighbors found out that the King and the Queen of the nation were living next to them, it would defeat the whole purpose of this lifestyle, wouldn't it? Hao Ren put up matching white and yellow Tang jacket with a white shirt and pant under it. He appeared very casual, and candid while Han Lingshi appeared very formal and proper. The two complimented each other, and finally, Hao Ren put a jade hair pin with a phoenix carved on it in her hair bun. Han Lingshi smiled and adjusted his collar as she said, "You should get a dragon pin for your shirts." Hao Ren nodded and said, "I will carve one later." They both checked each other's appearances when a loud voice was heard from outside, "Brother Hao, are you there?" Hao Ren looked toward the entrance and said, "Coming, Brother Nord." The couple came downstairs and went to the gate together holding hands. They opened the door, and were greeted by Michael Nord, and a middle aged lady beside her. Hao Ren bowed to them slightly before saying, "This is Xiao Han, my wife." He did not want to use her real name, because everyone knew that the Queen was called Han Lingshi, the Holy Moon Queen was a recently given name and it would take some time for them to get accustomed to it. Michael Nord said, "This is my wife, Yin Taishu, she is a teacher in the newly inaugurated school." Yin Taishu greeted them with a smile and then she introduced a little girl about five years old, and said, "This is my daughter, Tingxue Nord. You can call her Tingting." Tingting blushed when she saw the young couple and bowed her head as she said, "Good evening, Uncle Hao, Aunty Hao." Han Lingshi smiled and crouched down, she took out a spirit fruit from her space ring and said, "Tingting, you are so cute, here this is a small meeting gift from aunty." The couple was surprised, and Yin Taishu quickly waved her hand as she said, "No, we cannot accept this, Sister Hao. This is not right. Such a valuable spirit fruit you should save them for your house." The people were satisfied before Qilin, Wen Hu An's wife turned her head to Hao Ren and asked, "Brother Hao, Hu An told me that you built this house on your own, do you work in construction?" Hao Ren shook his head and replied, "I work as a tactician for Her Majesty in urban development department. I am responsible for making maps and drawings of the buildings and the roads in the city." The people were surprised to see that Hao Ren was also so impressive. Now the round of questions began about Han Lingshi, the Holy Moon Queen. Hao Ren went on and on about her grace, skills, and other stuff. The people saw her in good light and now they were mesmerized, because Hao Ren had the soothsaying skill. After the meal, the parents discovered that it was late at night and Yoko Qian took the lead to host everyone at her house the next weekend. The people agreed, and Hao Ren and Han Lingshi were the same, but they did say that it was not a promise, because they could get called for duty anytime. ... After sending away the guests, Hao Ren and Han Lingshi got to clean the place. The guests were responsible, but there were still dishes. After doing all this, Hao Ren waved his hand, and the air flow in the house was refreshed. The young man went to his room, and the couple cleaned up and went to cultivation. *Ding: Host you have completed the task, you will a Platinum Lottery Ticket.* The monthly lottery that the system had was long updated and now Hao Ren would get a lottery every time he broke through his cultivation realm. The gifts in the lottery had lost meaning to him at this level. Only with somethings that were rare in the world could help him. Hao Ren thought for a bit and decided to use the platinum lottery ticket. *Ding: Host, you have won the chance to comprehend the flow of time. Would you like to experience the epiphany now?* Hao Ren was stunned, space was a rare thing, but if he could tap into the essence of time. Things would change, thinking about this, he said, "Yes, begin." ... Duke Wen Kian stood at a ruined city wall with a cold aura around him. He looked in the direction of the inner city and yelled, "Imperial Brother, if you did not surrender in seven days, I will kill you, fuck your women, sell your daughters and make your sons my watch dog. Do you hear me?" He had breached through the outer wall of the Imperial City of the fortune country, and this was his challenge to the King of the Fortune Dynasty.
