Omnipotent Husband System
Chapter 474 - 474: Motives.

Hao Ren was comprehending his path when the door was knocked again, and he frowned before opening his eyes. He waved his hand and the door flung open. The accommodation of a master was simple, he had one room, with a bed, a cassock, and a table on the side. While it sounded rudimentary, the main point of this room was the spiritual energy that absorbed the spiritual energy from all six directions and channel it towards the cultivator in the center of the room.

Hao Ren looked at the servant outside, and he stood up with a raised eyebrow. He found it hard to believe that the progress of the situation to be so quick. He asked, "What is it?"

The servant outside replied, "Lord Ren, Master has invited you over."

Hao Ren stood up from the cassock and took out a small bag of spirit stones and passed it to the servant as he asked in a hushed tone, "What is the purpose?"

The servant looked around, pocketed the bag of spirit stones and replied, "Lady Director is here."

Hao Ren understood what was going on and said, "Good."

Then he quickly walked through the various alleys, and came to the Grandmaster's house, the guards didn't block him, and Hao Ren headed to the living room directly. Another servant informed Old Hephi and Lady Samaira who were getting cozy with each other. The lady stood up and fixed her clothes, when Old Hephi fixed his appearance as well.

Lady Samaira said, "You can stay here, I would to talk to him and see if he is really as good as they say he is."

Old Hephi sighed and said, "Samaira, be gentle."

The lady nodded and then she left with a faint smile on her face. Old Hephi sighed and mumbled, "Heavens, please watch over Xiao Ren."

...

In the living room, Hao Ren was sitting with a calm expression on his face, he sensed that someone was approaching and he turned his head to look at the person before he used his Eye of Insight.

His brain was flushed with the information regarding the lady walking over with grace and elegance. He could see why she was applauded as the refined beauty, her face was gentle and serene, but her eyes were akin to that of a fox demon, sensual and seductive. Her figure had perfect proportions, every man would be willing to dive under her pomegranate skirt.

The young man stood up as he was thinking if he should undo the charm this lady had cast around on the people to shake her mindset and gain the upper hand, however, on the other hand, he decided to take the game on the roll and see how it unfolded before making a counter.

He held his fists and bowed slightly as he said, "Greetings, Director."

Samaira was not surprised by the fact that she was recognized and nodded as she said, "Master Ren, raise your head. I cannot accept this bow from you, because you are the youngest Eight-star Master Refiner. Please don't shame this old one."

Hao Ren smiled and replied, "You praise me too much, Madam Director."

The lady gestured him to sit down and she did the same, but rather than across him, she sat adjacent to him on a chair and waved for a servant to pour them some tea as she asked, "So, where have you been all the time before you came to the Iron Mountain City?"

The young man didn't hide and said, "I come from across the endless ocean, the Crescent Moon Empire."

His words surely shocked Samaira, she didn't expect to hear this. Hao Ren said, "My parents are the native of the distant north of the place, and when I was travelling, the two lands merged, so then I heard from a fellow refiner about how they were about to travel through the Spirit Siphon Continent. So, I tagged along with them."

Hao Ren spoke very calmly and he observed the expressions on Samaira's face. The lady looked at Hao Ren and asked, "Do you know that saying all that can spell your death?"

Hao Ren acted surprised and asked, "But why Director? Have I done anything to harm the Iron Mountain City ever since I came here? Don't cultivators travel the world to gain experience and find opportunities?"

Samaira looked at him with a deadpan expression and said, "The Iron Mountain City is not someplace where everyone can come and go as they please. This is a strategic location, and in a place where traveling is forbidden, you dared to hide your identity and waltz in as if it is your backyard? You have to know which opportunity you should take and which to leave if you wish to live long enough."

Hao Ren used his sleeve to wipe the non-existent sweat from his forehead and he asked, "Director, please tell me what can I do to avoid death? Please help me out, I implore you. I really have no bad intention in my heart."

Samaira pretended to think for a bit and asked, "If you can take a heavenly oath that you would serve the city for your whole life, and will never hold any ill-intention against it, I will let you go."

Hao Ren nodded hurriedly and he said, "I will take the oath right now."

Samaira smiled, and nodded as she praised him. "I like your decisiveness. Don't worry, the Iron Mountain City will support you and you will surely become a Grandmaster."

Hao Ren bowed to her and took a deep breath as he said, "I swear in the name of heavens, that I will have Director Samaira serve me like a bitch till the end of her life."

Lady Samaira was used to watching people submit to her whims with ease, but when Hao Ren finished the oath, she had yet to react. Outside the courtyard, lightning flashed and clouds thundered.

Samaira looked at Hao Ren with her eyes wide open and the latter said, "Freeze."

Then he used his complete strength to appear next to her and tapped several of her acupoints. The impact sealed her spiritual energy, and then Hao Ren stuffed a pill in her mouth. He said, "What you ingested is Spirit Vaning Poison that I specially manufactured. If you focus, you should be able to see that the spiritual energy in your body is gradually fading away. That is my doing. If you wish to live, then give up your mental blockades."

Samaira was stunned, she didn't know how the tables were turned, from the intimidator, she had turned into a lamb that was put up for slaughter. The young man took a deep breath and waited patiently before the lady nodded, and Hao Ren said, "Put down the guard and I will handle it."

Samaira, let down her guard and she didn't protest, however, Hao Ren was aware that this was just a temporary solution. If he didn't act now, the lady would break the hypnotism and then she would attack him.

When she had come inside the room earlier, he had used the Eye Of Insight, the skill gave him the information that while Samaira lacked offensive skills, she was a master of the soul, and mind. She was a psychic in the mundane terms.

This was why, after casting the hypnosis spell, he fed her a pill as well. He looked at Samaira, as she enjoyed the relief from the antidote, and he said, "Focus on the pill you took, the core of that pill carried the heart demon poison. As soon as you attack my hypnotism, you will feel the pain equal to thousand knife stabs to your heart. I would hold back on rebellion if I were you, Asin Thana."

Samaira wanted to lash back but when she heard the name he used in the end, her eyes widened in shock and her face turned cold. Hao Ren continued in a low voice, "The last living member of the Thana tribe, the soul masters hunted down by the people from the Iron Mountain City, and specially, the leader of the southern district, Kano Ty."

The lady shivered and Hao Ren said, "Your motive is to destroy him, and my motive is to save the Three Researchers in his custody. If you help me obediently, when it all ends, you will be the queen of Iron Mountain City and Grandmaster Hephi will be the King, of course, I know that you are using him to increase your strength slowly, but you also love him, which was surprising to me."

The lady became even more anxious and she was trying to look around when Hao Ren suddenly leaned in close to her face and asked in her ear, "What would happen if they found out your reality? They would give you a death that would become an example. Do you want the five decade old planning to fail at this stage?"

Samaira shivered, Hao Ren looked like a demon in her mind, and she shivered when she looked at him. She understood what his motive was and she nodded. After all, if not giving in, she could tell that he would kill her, and then he will tell Hephi the truth about her. She was so scared that she almost pissed herself.
