Omnipotent Husband System

Hao Ren and Hao Mei finished their meal and the young lady took out a veil and tied it around her face. The former raised his brows and the latter replied, "It is to avoid too much attention."

Indeed, she was just that pretty. Although she was strong, the reason she managed to survive and found so much information about the places of action. Hao Ren stood up and the two began to proceed towards the city gate. He asked, "What is going on in the northern region? The Hao Family seems to be a big shot. Given the time flow, I do not think they should be having an easy time."

Hao Mei shook her head and replied, "You underestimate the foundation of the big forces a bit too much. The legacy of the Hao Family is more than four thousand years old. The lapse of a two hundred years does not make any difference to them. Also, Hao Tian seems to have held a fake ascension ceremony in order to establish his position among his peers in the northern region."

Hao Ren raised his brow and Hao Mei nodded while walking ahead, "Yes, I am not joking, the bigger the force, the more facade."

The young man nodded and said, "So, it seems to me that in order to become rich, I must start from the ground, build some prestige, and then open a place where the rich and the strong dine."

Hao Mei asked, "What is the logic behind becoming a Hotelier?"

Hao Ren smiled and replied, "Wine has the properties that can make people spill the truth. The best way to gather them all inside one place would be a hotel."

Hao Mei looked at her brother with a surprised expression, before she asked, "Who will be gathering this information for you? Do you think that the people will trust you?"

Hao Ren smiled and asked, "I heard from Old Boy Hao, they sell slaves here, right?"

Hao Mei was shocked even more. Indeed, who else would like to watch the world burn rather than the ones who had been betrayed and tormented by the world. However, she frowned and said, "I did not expect you to be this cruel."

Hao Ren shook his head and said, "I am not cruel you will know what I am about to do. However, you would need to help me financially, I do not have anything but a thousand spirit stones."

Hao Mei rolled her eyes, and said, "You can buy mortal slaves with gold, only cultivator slaves will cost you spirit stones."

Hao Ren nodded and said, "I will need one nascent soul slave, two core formation realm ones, and the rest will be core formation ones."

Hao Mei sucked in a deep breath and said, "Damn, you think I am a tycoon?"

Hao Ren nodded and said, "Don't tell me that not only did you not find any husband, you also did not earn money in these fifty years. Sigh, oh lords, what happened to my talented and the brightest Xiao Mei."

Hao Mei pinched his cheek and said, "I have enough wealth to buy you ten slaves, you brat. Hmph."

Then she dragged the begging young man to the city gates. She seemed to have already prepared an identity plate for him so the entry went by smoothly. Hao Mei said, "This is the Salt Wind City. There are five forces you have to be mindful about. The city lord palace. He is the mayor of the city.

Then comes the three martial families, Zheng, Cui, and Tao. The strongest expert in their ranks are Core Formation old antiques. The fifth force you have to be mindful of is the Orient Merchant House.

They are spread all over the spirit shimmer continent. The person in charge of the merchant house is the second young lady of the Kun family, Kun Lin. She is a very cunning woman, you need to avoid crossing her as much as you can. The word is that she has a soul transformation level expert protecting her."

Hao Ren looked at her and asked, "Is that lady in this city?"

Hao Mei shook her head and said, "Those people operate in the field of trade, but they also know that information is the biggest treasure in this world."

Hao Ren thought and nodded, after all, he was not the only smart ass. It seems to him that the Orient Merchant House will become his biggest enemy. Hao Mei looked at him and said, "You are a businessman. When you grow strong enough, you will have the power to negotiate with them. Do not worry, they are not half as strong as you were back home."

Hao Ren shook his head and said, "Half of my strength came from Xiao Mei, now, I will have to think of a way to out do these old monsters. No worries, I will work it out."

Hao Mei bought him to a small courtyard that was tucked away inside a dalipated alley. In the courtyard, Hao Ren found no one else was living. The decoration looked dull but it was all matching the rustic aesthetics of the place. He looked at Hao Mei and asked, "You own this place, don't you?"

Hao Mei smirked and said, "I have this much power. I own some small properties here and there, they serve as my base of operation. I have a few colleagues who have been through thick and thin and we share the bond of life and death. Rest assured they are completely obedient."

Hao Ren nodded and realized that his sister was not as simple and delicate as she seemed. Hao Mei said, "Reni."

A young lady walked out from inside the courtyard, and greeted Hao Mei. The girl seemed to be around sixteen or so, and Hao Mei said, "Reni is my first retainer, I saved her from a brute who killed her family and had been torturing her for pleasure. He even made her consume the ever youth pill. That caused her appearance to stop changing.

She is a core formation realm cultivator, and is almost reaching nascent soul realm She will be your liaison here and your first attendant."

Reni looked at Hao Mei, and the latter introduced her to Hao Ren, before she said, "Reni, you will follow him for now. Once you have reached the nascent soul realm, I will call you over. Okay?"

The young girl nodded and bowed to Hao Ren, "Young Master Ren."

Hao Ren smiled and said, "Big Sister Reni, you do not have to bow to me. I am younger and also a junior in cultivation. My elder sister told me that you are like a sister to her, so from now on you are my sister as well."

Reni was surprised but then nodded with a faint smile which added some color to her otherwise, pale and cold face. Hao Mei said, "I am leaving to track the progress of an important matter up west. You better not make too much trouble and attract attention when I am gone."

Hao Ren nodded, Hao Mei gave him a ring and said, "Use the money in here to start a business."

The young man nodded, and just when Hao Mei was about to vanish, he embraced her and said, "Meimei, you better be careful out there, do not get hurt."

Hao Mei was surprised and then instinctively she patted his head and said softly, "I will be fine, you look after yourself okay, Xiao Ren."

The young man took a step back and waved at her as she left, just like how they used to say bye to each other when they were children. He was not acting like a child but he wanted Hao Mei to know that she was not alone anymore.

The cold that was visible on her face, seemed to have found its way to her heart and he needed to thaw those flames so that his sister could resolve the knots in her heart as he did.
