Hao Ren and Han Lingshi walked inside the gathering hall in the Maple Courtyard. The elders from both families were gathered their and they were discussing a lot of things. Han Lingxue had also come to the Spirit Shimmer continent as she did not wish to live alone with the robots.
The entire family has come over, and even Yue Shenlong and his grandpa were also there. Agnee noticed the two people and dashed over to hug Hao Ren's thigh. The young man smiled and picked her up in his arms and pecked her on the cheeks.
Agnee smiled brightly and then she pouted as she said, "Xiao Ren, you big baddie, where have you been all this time? You know, Ma cried so much without you? Also, you did not take care of Agnee like you promised."
Hao Ren was taken aback but then he smiled and replied, "Well, I am sorry, but I came here to make a big house for your Ma and all of us. Did you get to play around?"
Agnee shook her head and said, "Not yet."
Hao Ren nodded and said, "I will arrange for a big sister to take you around."
Agnee nodded, and Hao Ren looked at Ye Lan, before he said, "Xiao Lan, show her around and tell everyone to leave us."
Ye Lan bowed quickly and waved her hand to tell all the maids and servants to leave the maple courtyard and wait outside the main door. As they left, Hao Ren waved his hand and cast a barrier around the gathering hall, and asked, "So, how have you lot been?"
As he said this, he walked over to sit on a bog chair. Han Lingshi sighed and sat beside him. Hao Mei knew what was going on but she did not say anything. Initially Hao Ren was cold to her as well. He kept her at an arm's length, it was through her effort that she managed to reclaim his love for her.
Tang Zen asked, "Have you been well?"
Her tone was calm, and Hao Ren nodded calmly, he was not in the favor for escalating things but he would not back down and bring them warmth just as he sees them. It has been more than a decade, his emotions had calmed down and were covered under a layer of dust.
Old Master Han asked, "You have arranged the people to handle the administration and other important things in the court, how can they be trusted?"
Han Lingshi looked at the old man and said, "Grandpa, are you thinking about helping them handle things with your great experience?"
Her sarcasm did not go unnoticed. Old Man Han frowned and said, "I am not asking for anything, Xiao Ling. I just do not want you to be in danger."
Han Lingshi replied, "Stop thinking for my sake. I am fine, as for the people around us, they will not have such silly intentions against us. You have no idea of what is going on here and are holding opinions just after coming over. You should have stayed back at Blue star if you miss your authority so much."
She did not like them being nosy about everything. The crude remarks settled the winds under the wings and the people began to ask about how things were and other stuff. After a few minutes, Hao Ren said, "Old Master Han, if you wish to cultivate, I can get you some medicine and restore your foundation but you would have to start from the beginning."
Old Master Han nodded and said, "That would be nice. Thank you for your kindness."
Hao Ren shook his head and then he looked at his parents, before he said, "Come, we have to talk about the business in the north."
Han Lingshi and Hao Mei also followed them briskly. The two knew about the situation in the northern continent were not good, and Hao Ren was going to grill the old couple a bit about it.
Hao Ren replied, "Half step Star Annihilation."
The old man nodded and left the study with his wife. Hao Ren looked at the two ladies and said, "Well, I did not expect Old Boy to almost cry."
Hao Mei smacked him on the shoulder, she was annoyed at his nonchalance. She said, "Yin sent a word, they slayed a few people who were making a mess the mission is on track."
Hao Ren shrugged and said, "What are you telling me this for? I have no idea what mission they went on, she wanted to go so I sent her with Xiao Si. I have important things to do now. I am leaving, you guys have fun." Enjoy exclusive content from empire
Hao Mei was stunned and asked, "Your Excellency, what important things?"
Hao Ren replied, "I have to help a neighbor redesign his shop. See ya."
That said, he left the place. Han Lingshi was not shocked, but Hao Mei was. She looked at the young lady and asked, "What the hell is going on? You are going to let him do what he wants?"
Han Lingshi sighed and said, "Big sister, this guy worked hard in Blue Star, but now, he just wants to stay at him and play a full time husband."
Hao Mei replied, "He was not like this before."
She told her about how hardworking Hao Ren was before the coronation. However, he was already gone, and they could only mind their work.
...
Hao Ren came to the market, and began buying the raw material he needed. His purchase made the shopkeeper happy, and then he stored it all in his space ring. The young man moved to Blue Flame Weapon Shop.
Wen Hu An was closing the shop for the day, when he saw Hao Ren approaching. The man smiled and said, "I was about to drop the keys to your home."
Hao Ren shook his head and said, "It is fine, I will demolish and rebuild everything from the ground up. Do not worry."
Wen Hu An was shocked, and said, "No, no, Brother Hao, I cannot afford all this."
Hao Ren looked at the man and said, "Brother Wen, are you looking down on me? Or do you call me brother in just name? This is the one thing that I can do with ease. You can just give me discount when I buy weapons from the kids in the future."
Wen Hu An shook his head and refused, but Hao Ren asked him, "What are you worried about? Fine, you it weighs on your conscience, then pay me in the future. Now, go home, let me do what I want to do."
Wen Hu An agreed to this but even then he signed a spirit contract before leaving. Hao Ren shook his head and cast an isolation array around the shop. The weapons inside have been cleaned up by Wen Hu An, and only the furnace was left. Hao Ren placed the furnace away and then with a wave of his hand, the entire shop began to come apart one brick at a time.
The bricks lay on the side of the street, neatly stacked up, Hao Ren then rearranged them and used his spiritual energy to fix them all together, and began to work for the coming three hours.
The street was still bustling as it was just noon. Hao Ren finished the basic structure and took off to cook a meal for his wife, after all, that was the only that mattered to Hao Ren. He wanted to be the idol husband.
