My Mother Has a System but Won't Use It-Chapter 176 Enemy-to-be, I greet you with gratefulness.

176 Enemy-to-be, I greet you with gratefulness.

Half an hour of discussion passed like a cloud passing through the dark skies. Han Li had the patience of a turtle when he had to be patient, and thus, he calmly spoke about the intriguing things of the Demon World. Like a young girl trapped in the hymn of storytellers, Hua Yu grew entranced. Like all cultivators, she was also a person who wished to learn of the Dao. Who else to know more of it than the Sacred Demons? A Demon World?

What was a Demon World?

It supposedly roamed above the skies like a star. If she flew high enough, can she see it?

She was a Power Born; she could fly, after all. Yet, after learning more about it, she understood it was a place riddled with traps and set-ups of the Sacred Demon, where Sacred Talent cultivators all arrived to fight in a trial. All of that made her contemplative. The world's order would shift, and heroic youngsters would rise in the hundreds.

And the young man in front of her was one such person. Someone destined to rise among the mob. Not only the single Sacred Talent, but even his Mother was a Sacred Talent. That made her curious. Han Li even showed her a knife, a knife that could cut down anything below the Power Birth level of strength, like Tofu. She was entranced and researched it to find it was made of a Beast King's body part. No wonder it was so strong. But she curiously threw it back to him. At the same time, Han Li also explained to her his current peril and might as well see where it goes.

Li Shuanwei, how he was so weird, and how he would attack them to remove the roots. How Li Xingguang, the Starlight Clan Head, was that man's father and how they were in danger. After hearing it, Hua Yu had a whole other expression.

She grew solemn. Playing with these Evolved chicks were one thing, and the Power Borns were another. She also knew that Li Shuanwei was a figure much more noteworthy than Han Li himself. That youth had been captured by a Power Born. Yet, he survived?

That was one thing. He survived when the Power Born obviously had negative intentions!

How?

And what is this attack that Han Li mentioned severed his hand in one chop. No chant, no action, just chop. What a curious young man. She couldn't help but have her bells of intrigue ring. Yet, she smirked, "Why are you trying to twist my attention away from you to another man? You certainly seem to hate my attention."

"How can that be? This one is honored."

She squinted, her green eyes bright with curiosity. "So why did you tell me all this? You want me to help you get out of this danger?" ƒreewebɳovel.com

Han Li bowed deeply. There was no need for more words. Yet, she grew serious and said, "I am not as strong as Li Xingguang. Not even nearly. At most, I could fight him for two hours before he…" She showed the action of an arm slitting her neck. "I'd die. And I don't plan to die."

Calmly, Han Li asked, "I don't want you to fight him. I can get him off the scene. I just want you to stand behind me in a little scheme I am trying to pull."

"Oh?" Her curiosity was picked. She was a Power Born. She didn't have any fear of Li Xingguang, just genuine caution. If she could hoodwink him without any disadvantages, she was all in. Cultivation was an all-in game, after all. Of course, she wouldn't do it if she didn't feel confident.

"So be it. Tell me the plan. I have a liking for Liyue and I am curious. Yet be warned, a simple liking I gained for a girl in just one week won't make me put my life on the line. I wouldn't be bothered to listen if I didn't have my own benefits in this. Benefits that are solid enough to make me move."

Can he even give something like that to her? She was curious.

Han Li straightened. A smile on his face, and a normal red cherry appeared in his hand. "This…"

She wanted benefits that could make her move?

Okay, I'll give it to you.

***

Night had fallen. Han Li's breath frosted as he walked through the Starlight Zone. His eyes were calm. He was going to go through with his first plan, which he had cooked up right after returning to the real world. He didn't know how well it would go, but it shouldn't turn disastrous.

Soon enough, he reached the central part of the Starlight Zone and looked up at the flagpole. This was the area where the Awakening Ceremonies used to happen. Yet, he didn't stop and walked around the area till he reached a manor. An empty but rather huge manor. In front of the manor, a young man, someone Han Li was very familiar with, was standing. He had a bored expression and was cultivating in a lotus position. Hearing the noise of Han Li's footsteps, he opened his eyes.

His eyes immediately brightened. "Han Li!" he exclaimed, but then immediately noticed the woman beside Han Li who was walking hand in hand with him, like a couple. His eyes widened like two saucers, and he pointed at the smirking Han Li.

"You..you pull… pulled a…" Yet he immediately stopped and bowed down, beads of sweat forming on his back. "Exalted Power Born, My Clan Head would have been joyous to host a banquet for you if you announced your arrival."

Han Li smiled. Then feeling a tug at his hand by Hua Yu, he left her hand. That meant Li Xingguang had spread his Soul Sense here, and even though Han Li noticed it, it was a second later than Hua Yu herself. His Heart Qi didn't make his senses sharper. It only made his own Soul Sense harder to sense. But being holding hands when his Soul Sense was spread and Li Xingguang having seen it, the seed was already in the soil. He just had to add some magical water once he met the man.

"Li Ming," Han Li spoke, chuckling in his tone, a perfect image of a contended man. "I heard your harem of men are becoming bigger by the day? You are faster than me in making your own gang."

Li Ming's eyes lit up. "You are also making a harem of men?"

Han Li's face darkened. "What?" Hua Yu smiled slightly, as if Han Li being made a fool of like that made her happy. But then, a calm flow of fireflies suddenly jumped around them, like little stars, and formed a word: Enter. Li Ming immediately bowed even deeper. Hua Yu walked past Li Ming with a curious glint in her eyes before Han Li walked past him, but he stopped and kicked the man on the way. "I only love women. Never repeat it." That seemed like a simple kick, but Li Ming was pushed quite far away, and with Li Xingguang's perceptive eye, he should have noticed Han Li was far stronger than a simple Spark-less.

Li Ming growled in grievance. He should go and vent his sadness on his new harem member.

Calmly, Han Li entered the manor of his soon-to-be enemy, a smile like sunflowers on his face as he quickly reached beside Hua Yu and walked into a room together with her. The hallway was wide and minimalistic, but the room itself was the most minimalistic of all. Just a simple room with nothing inside but a man seated in the lotus position.

[Li Xingguang] [Age: 230]

[Current Cultivation: Power Birth Stage]

[End time cultivation in the first life Premonition: Power Birth, Starlight Dao]

[End time cultivation in the last Premonition: Power Birth, Starlight Dao]

[Death: (in the last Premonition) at age 235, Killed by Yang Wei of the Bone Clan after inciting a war between the three clans of Raven, Rock, and Starlight.]

A man in white robes, his face radiating the energy of youth and his long black hair cascading toward the ground. He seemed like the picture of a mature man that women would dream of in their poetic dreams. His casual white robes flew in the wind.

Even though he had gotten interesting news, Han Li appeared as calm as a rock as he moved before the man. He didn't have to think of anything; for now, Li Xingguang was his target.

"Clan Head, this descendant greets you." He cupped his fists and, seeing the cue, sat in front of his ancestor in the lotus position. Hua Yu walked beside them and took out a chair from her Empty Space before sitting on it. She looked down at both of them, a curious glint hidden behind her serene green eyes.

Both Han Li and Li Xingguang had their eyebrows twitched. Yet, they didn't address it.

"What do you visit for, Lady Hua Yu?" Obviously, Li XIngguang didn't have any reason to show him any face, and he didn't. To him, Han Li was just a junior.

Hua Yu shook her hand. "Not me, it's your descendant. Ask him."

Li Xingguang wondered inside with a lot of hesitation: 'Did this Han Li really make this old crone Hua Yu fall for him? She was already famous when I was born…' He didn't think so, but they had no reason to act. Why would she act like this? Unless, of course, she had brought other Power Born here to ambush him, which didn't seem likely. After all, even if he was attacked 3 on one by Power Borns, he had the confidence to last till the other two Clan heads, Raven and Rock, came for rescue. Yet, he still thought of a worst-case scenario just in case and increased his wariness. No way this old crone fell for this young man. Even though he was his own descendant by a long distance.

Was he here to speak some kind of benefit? Why was Hua Yu protecting him? It was subtle but he noticed she had some kind of relationship with the boy. Is it because of Shan Liyue or Li Yao?

Hua Yu had been staying there, so of course, he had researched them all. Han Li included. Even Pang Li, the fat merchant and father of Liyue, who was in a distant city, was researched by him.

"Let me speak, Clan Head." Han Li flourished his sleeves. Elegantly presenting himself before speaking, "You should know that I healed my Mother-in-law, Li Yao, right?"

Li Xingguang raised his eyebrows. "Yes, I do remember that."

Han Li calmly waved his hand, and a Dao Crystal appeared in his palm. "Dao Crystals of Lust. I am an Evolved cultivator with the Dao of Lust."

Li Xingguang's eyes widened, and Hua Yu smiled, waving her hand as if she were removing some kind of magic cast on Han Li. Han Li removed the Heart Qi hiding his cultivation.

Now his ancestor could clearly sense Han Li's cultivation. An Evolved!

Li XIngguang's ascetic calm changed into the pressure of a star's light. "Many things seem to be happening in my own clan when I hadn't noticed. Why don't you elaborate now?"
