Hao Ren lay on top of Han Lingshi panting, the latter was also the same. The two of them had a dazed look in their eyes, they had sex earlier, but it was nothing like what they had today. Han Lingshi held Hao Ren in her arms as if he was a treasure. While they were both catching their breath, a notification sounded in Hao Ren's mind.
*Ding: Host, with the stroke of midnight, you have also completed your task very elegantly. Your wife is happy and content. You are rewarded with twenty strands of Chaos Energy. Conditions to avail the rewards are that you must pass the tribulation."
Hao Ren was surprised; Chaos Energy was very strong. One strand of Chaos Energy could enable a cultivator to flatten a city with a wave of his hand. The time it took to condense every new strand of energy after the Realm Tribulation, it would take a few years at the least. With the reward from the system, Hao Ren would save at least two decades of time. Even with his super talent, and with the help of Moon Time Acceleration Hourglass, it would not be an overnight issue and the life span consumption was another.
One more thing that he had to think about was how to cultivate with Han Lingshi because the cultivation of chaos energy and spiritual energy are different. It could do more harm than good.
The young man sat up on the bed and Han Lingshi asked, "What happened?"
Hao Ren took a deep breath and replied, "I am close to a breakthrough."
Han Lingshi was shocked, she sat up from the bed, and looked at the young man before she asked, "Is it serious?"Nôv(el)B\\jnn
The young man nodded and replied, "My restraints are coming apart slowly. If I try to suppress the energy inside my body again, they might explode and damage my meridians."
Han Lingshi realized how drastic the situation was. After a few moments of silence, she asked, "What do you think are the chances of getting through the tribulation?"
Hao Ren smiled and replied, "I will be fine, my physique is special. I can absorb lightning so the chances of failure are low."
Han Lingshi nodded and then she asked, "When do you think the tribulation would be coming?"
Hao Ren replied, "I think a few weeks."
Hao Lingshi nodded, and said, "I will ask Sister Mei to clear a Tribulation Area, and also prepare some formations for safety."
Hao Ren nodded and thanked her with a kiss. He then pulled her in an embrace and closed his eyes to sleep.

Maya Okudera looked at them calmly, they had suspected this much when the people claimed to be reformists. She asked, "What would you do if we talked about you to the Royal Family?"
Mister Yang replied, "Even if you do, they won't be able to do anything against me. The reason is simple, those bunch of dimwits are not you guys. They are condescending, arrogant, and ungrateful to the people in the country. They malign us, mutilate us, exploit us as if we were born to serve them."
Maya Okudera did not say anything to him, Mister Yang grabbed the arm of the young lady beside him and said, "This is Amil, her daughter was born under the swan constellation and she was just a few years old. A babe who did not even know how to talk, and yet she was taken away by the people because the Crown Prince told them to gather all the children born under the swan constellation.
A total of two hundred children from all over the country were taken away, and you know what he did with them? He sacrificed those babies, burning them alive on the Pyre. All this because some bastard told him this sacrifice will get his concubines to retain their youth. How many concubines do you think he has? That little bastard has seventy women. How can a man do good for the society when he does not even know what the world looks like outside his harem?"

His agitation and anger were brimming through his eyes. He was shivering all over, and so was the young lady beside him. Han Lingshi said, "Is the ruling King in favor of the Crown Prince succeeding him?"
Mister Yang nodded as he looked curiously at Han Lingshi, Maya Okudera replied, "Her Majesty, Han Lingshi, the holy moon queen."
Mister Yang and Amil stood up from the chairs, they bowed in salutation when Han Lingshi waved her hand and said, "Stand up. Answer me, if I support your cause, would you bend the knee and serve the throne of the Crescent Moon Nation?"
Mister Yang nodded and replied, "Yes, Your Majesty, we will serve the throne of the Crescent Moon Nation with all that we have."
Han Lingshi did not detect any deception and said, "For the coming few days, I wish you both to stay here as our guest and rest. We will contact you once we have come up with a plan to deal with the royal family."
Mister Yang nodded and then he left the study with Amil in tow. Han Lingshi assigned a lady from the shadow guard to follow them. She looked at Maya Okudera and said, "I want a complete analysis on the strengths and the weaknesses of the Windchime Royal Family."
Maya Okudera asked, "Do you suspect something?"
Han Lingshi nodded and said, "Don't you have the same doubt as me? If what Yang just said is true, then the Royal Family is openly involved in occult practices and they are still able to hold onto the throne for so long, something is really fishy about this situation. Although I wish to flail that Crown Prince with my own hands, but I do not wish to sacrifice any lives in stupid chases. You have a week, take care of them and get back to me. Before that keep the defenses high."
Maya Okudera nodded and left to make arrangements. After a few minutes, Han Lingshi finished recounting everything to Hao Ren and the young man nodded in affirmation before he said, "I will be heading out for a few days. The tribulation of the Star Annihilation is not simple, Mei will go with me. I will have all the Dao Integration Realm stay on alert."
Han Lingshi wanted to say something but she understood that her level was not yet that high and she nodded in agreement. The Crescent Moon Kingdom had begun a conquest in all three norther kingdoms.
