Omnipotent Husband System

Hao Ren spent his time cultivating, and the situation of the realm had stabilized. However, he was soon reaching the bottleneck in hsi cultivation and just when he thought that he would need to go and visit Han Lingshi to ask her about the status of the plan he proposed, Han Lingshi came over to see him.

It had been two weeks since the proposal submitted in the court. The young man opened his eyes and asked, "What is taking so long to form a governing body?"

Han Lingshi said, "Xiao Mei is coming up with laws that prevented the cultivators from abusing the mortals."

Hao Ren sighed and said, "Are you dealing with this thing even after so long? Xiao Mei has slowed down a lot in this world."

Han Lingshi smiled and replied, "Even the latest hardware components that she manufactured lack a bit, but she would be fine. So, I came over to ask you, can you not wait for a little bit more?"

Hao Ren shook his head and replied, "I cannot, I have almost reached my sword comprehension cap. The only way to breakthrough now is to fight opponents. I cannot gain anything by sparring with Ye Jian anymore. You have seen the reports. If we don't act soon and work hard to catch up, then the forces of the Spirit Siphon Continent would sooner or later come for me, because we are outsiders. You have to tell me if we are going to leave or not."

Han Lingshi sighed and held her forehead as she asked, "How about we flee?"

Hao Ren was so surprised that he stood up from the ground and held her face in his palms gently as he asked, "Did you mean what you just said?"

Han Lingshi nodded and said, "I am tired of the crown and the holy robe all day and every day. I haven't eaten anything that you made in such a long time. Ren, let's run away. This is the only way."

Hao Ren thought for a bit and nodded as he reached out to grab her hand and they vanished from the spot in the garden.

Ye Yin suddenly appeared in the place where Han Lingshi's shadow was spread with her eyes wide open. She didn't even get the chance to react or even comprehend what was going on. Han Lingshi said, "Flee."

And that was it? Ye Yin stomped on the ground before she headed to the teleportation port and tell the royal court that the emperor has absconded the Empress and they are running away from the governing roles.

Hao Mei was waiting inside the gathering hall of the palace, when she spotted Ye Yin rushing over in a hurry and she said, "Ye Lan, deploy troops, Ren has fled with his wife."

The situation sounded comical but it wasn't. Hao Ren ran away for cultivation journey, but him insistence on taking away Han Lingshi all of a sudden would leave a bad taste in the mouth of the populace that adores her.

…

Han Lingshi and Hao Ren appeared in the wilderness, and they were surrounded by lust green grass and a view from the mountain top. The young man asked, "What do you think? Shall we build a cottage here and stay?"

Han Lingshi nodded, and then began gathering the wood and the vines to prepare a log cabin. It didn't take him long to prepare a simple cottage and then he even placed the furniture inside the cottage, and then sat down with Han Lingshi in his arms.

The young lady asked, "What will we do now? How will you grow stronger?"

Hao Ren smiled and replied, "I will be hitting the road and find out about the local dynamics here. If I could find a sword dojo then it would be a nice thing for my growth. What about you?"

Han Lingshi hesitated a bit and then she said, "I have begun to like the task of governing the people."

Hao Ren thought about it and said, "You can teleport from here to there. What is the big deal?"

Han Lingshi shook her head and replied, "Things don't work like this. The imperial officials are yet to mature properly."

Hao Ren held his chin and then he said, "I think, you should stay behind then. Try to cultivate and reach a higher realm. This is your path, and being your guard is mine."

Han Lingshi suddenly felt sad, she hugged Hao Ren and cried a little until Hao Ren called her a tabby cat. They were both adults, but to make sure that they can stay strong in peace, they had to walk their own paths. Han Lingshi wanted to hold his hand while doing so but it wasn't easy.

Hao Ren thought about something and said, "How about before I go, I research a portable teleportation array with Xiao Mei and then take it with me. Wherever I go, I can come back to you every night."

Han Lingshi frowned and said, "You said the same thing when you came to this world, that it would be two years only, however, you lied to me. I don't trust you."

Hao Ren shook his head and said, "That was different and this is different. I will surely keep my promise, when have I defied anything that I said to you?"

Han Lingshi began to think about what to say, and after an hour of discussion and setting up many conditions, she agreed and said, "Fine, you can go, but you will have to bring along one of the girls. They want to learn from you, and I don't wish form them to be delayed. So, this is the final condition, if you agree then it is fine, we have an arrangement."

Hao Ren sighed and replied, "I never had any choice but to bow and receive the decree, no?"

Han Lingshi snorted and said, "It is good that you understand. Now, please come back with me, Xiao Mei would like to hear your ideas about the upgrade and portable teleportation setup."

The two people then lay there for a few minutes before they vanished again and appeared back in the centre palace like nothing ever happened.
