My Mother Has a System but Won't Use It

Wei Yuanfeng and Liyue were especially conversing with each other. Full of curious questions.

At first, Liyue had been sulky and even refused to talk with the woman while they were in the water after she knew Yuanfeng was Han Li\'s new disciple—she dipped her face into the water and just blankly stared at Yuanfeng with ill intentions and quite a lot of misgivings.

But after being in the water for a while, she shook her head, and as Wei Yuanfeng was a very cheery person, she soon got to know her. They sized each other up and then spoke about cultivation—as much as they knew—and soon were acquaintances.

Faces and hair dripping with crystalline dews, just as they entered, all of the women noticed the clean, refreshed Han Li and Li Yao.

The mother-in-law was lying on her son-in-law\'s chest, snuggled up, and the rims of her eyes seemed a bit wet. Her eyes were also a bit ruddy. Her clinging hands over Han Li\'s chest were also somewhat different from earlier, but the difference was subtle.

She had obviously cried recently, but now, she had calmed down and looked at Liyue and the rest disapprovingly.

Other than Hua Feilan and Wei Yuanfeng, who had covered themselves with decent clothing, the rest of them were in undergarments of differing colors. Liyue was in white, and Yue Li was in black, their fair skins contrasting the wet cloth as they dried themselves.

Hua Yu had a more modest undergarment, but it was not made of clothes; she had used her power of moss to create a thin covering over her body with moss; it was a very beautiful sight if Han Li were to be honest—twin peaks covered using moss. What could be better?

Of course, that would be Liyue\'s goddess-like physique, which was incomparably beautiful. Her body was somehow of a different class compared to the rest; all of them were beautiful, and Liyue would be of the lower standard when it came to beauty when she was covered in clothing, but her half-revealed body itself was a piece of art.

It always made Han Li focus on her. His eyes twinkling slightly.

Li Yao said disapprovingly, "All of you are shameless. Especially you, Liyue, and also Yue Li. Shameless to the bone."

Drying herself, Liyue stretched slightly, showing her physique that had been toned by training. Her muscles were subtle, her curves just fine enough. She breathed out cold air and asked, "We are all women, and the only man here is my husband, fiance. Why should I be ashamed? If anything, Mother Yue should be ashamed since she is in front of her son, not me; I am fine. Right, big brother?"

"Yep. How shameful, Mom," Han Li chuckled, caressing Li Yao\'s head.

Yue Li sneezed, feeling cold, shivering before walking and sitting on the side of her son, she handed him the towel. With his one free hand, he dried her up, and she spoke in between, "I am shameless. I agree, but that\'s at the same level as Li Yao for sure; she is also his Mother-in-law, but is in his bosom; why are you not speaking about her while making fun of me?" She snorted.

"Liyue, I am as much your mother as she is. How dare you show impartiality?!"

Wei Yuanfeng looked at all this curiously from the side. Drying her short hair was much easier than drying those long ones like the sort the other women here had.

Liyue said with a laugh, changing into a robe that Hua Yu threw out for her from her Empty Space. "I never said my mom is not shameless." As she removed the wet undergarment, hiding the chest with her hand to change into the robe, Han Li saw her underboobs and whistled, but before he got the full glimpse, she was dressed. She even blinked at him.

He smiled. Unlike her mother, she had indeed become more confident and was even talking. He wondered if she was conscious of the development.

On the other hand, Wei Yuanfeng couldn\'t help but look at her own chest. It was so small compared to the rest. Her eyes twitched slightly. They were all so blessed in the feminine department.

Was her master the sort of man you would call successful in getting women?

Li Yao was too lazy to argue about her own shamelessness, so she asked, "Is the water good?"

Everyone exclaimed, other than Hua Yu and Hua Feilan.

"So good!" "Extremely!" "Super Fun!"

For Wei Yuanfeng, such an experience like seeing a waterfall was an entirely new thing. Even when she was in the Demon World, she hadn\'t been near any waterfalls. It was the same for Liyue, too. Yue Li had enjoyed it before in the morning, but it didn\'t change the fact that it was good.

Hua Yu nodded. "It was decent." She had also gotten dressed.

Stretching herself, Hua Feilan said, coming forward, "So um, Han Li, our promise ends here. I\'d like to receive my promised Sacred Coins before I head out."

Startled, Liyue turned her head. "You are heading out?"

Hua Feilan scratched her cheek, "I don\'t even know why I followed you guys to this place in the first place. I have no enemies in Southern Lust City… in fact, I am still missing why we had to run at all."

All of their gazes then moved to Han Li and Hua Yu. Only they knew the truth. With a sigh, Han Li looked at Hua Yu, "Will you explain it to them?"

Hua Yu threw out a Water Dao Resource, and it turned into a couch. She sat on it and laid back, her eyes closed. "Too bothersome. I have to cultivate. You do you," she said.

"Is the pigeon sent?"

"Your challenge would be there in a day and a half. He should arrive here, at the speed of a horse, in three or four days if he heads out soon after. Five if he heads out later. I cannot interfere in the fight, right?"

"Yep. In fact, if you harm him in any way, even if it is in morale, my binding would hurt me. If it is a betrayal of the binding, as in, you hurt him entirely, I would die due to the binding."

All of the people here were either under Heart Qi Bindings not to betray him or trustworthy people. There was nothing to worry about telling them. If Hua Yu now wanted to hurt Han Li and tried to hurt Yang Wei to do it, she would be hurt just due to the intention. They were in a partnership of benefits, after all.

It was a bond made by a blade on their life.

With another sigh, Han Li looked at his mom, who was enjoying him drying her hair. "Do you want to tell them why we are running away?"

"I don\'t know the full story, my son."

Han Li\'s red eyes focused on Hua Feilan. "Basically, we went into the Demon World, in a trial, we met a person named Li Shuanwei from my own clan, and he was stronger than me. He cut Mom\'s hand and would surely try to nip us in the bud.

"Hua Yu and I signed an agreement to work together for each other\'s benefit, and now she has an obligation to protect me. She helped me scheme against the Starlight Clan\'s head, and she is also practically Li Shuanwei\'s enemy now.

"Even though she still has a bit of a leeway, practically, she is on one ship with me, and we can\'t both let each other drown. She gets what she wants. I get what I want. Since you are her friend, you will be used to blackmail her into turning me over. Thus, you were brought along with us."

Hua Feilan frowned and became deeply contemplative. "But this won\'t do. I have my Matchmakers Association to take care of. It is a business that would fail without me. I have already been slacking on it due to being in an agreement with you to protect your women till you come back."

Her friend, Hua Yu, waved her hand and made her float towards the couch. Then, Hua Yu\'s green eyes focused on Han Li. The main reason she agreed to team up with him was because of the benefits he could bring her.

She had no attraction to the man in the actual sense.

Hua Feilan, on the other hand, was a friend of hers. A friend she saw as her own family.

"How is this, Han Li. Why don\'t you train her like you trained Liyue? The girl had indeed gotten training even I couldn\'t give her. Her spear has a foundation so clearly well-taught that it makes me shiver at times when I see her train. Why don\'t you train Feilan like that, too?"

Han Li was nonchalant. He gently pushed away both of his mothers from his chest. It was business time. Yue Li began to dress up while Li Yao looked at Han Li curiously. Was this his business mode? She had never seen this.

"That was not part of our agreement, Hua Yu. What can you give me in return? My teachings are not free to people I don\'t care for."

Hua Yu smiled and showed her palm to Hua Feilan. "Look at her."

Han Li raised an eyebrow.

Blue eyes akin to sapphires, wet, brownish-black hair tinged with orange specks, fair skin. Taller than himself with a valiant aura around her. An Evolution Stage Cultivator with a Transformation Type, Fire Peacock Dao Soul. And the famous title, Friend of all Women.

She was indeed quite something.

Hua Yu added to his thoughts, "Virgin, unmarried, haven\'t been in a relationship. Mature, too."

Hua Feilan frowned in disgruntlement. Her face also grew angry for the first time. She spoke in a suppressed voice, "Hua Yu!"

Hua Yu ignored her. "If you train her, you get the chance to spend time with her and attempt to make her your own. I doubt it is possible, but it is a decent repayment for your teachings."

All of the women, including his disciple, looked at him with curious gazes. Liyue had the most suppressed gaze; her own marriage had yet to happen, and girls were rising around him. She had to work harder to stand out in his harem.

Han Li was calm, almost contemptuous of the deal. His gaze pierced into Hua Yu\'s.

To him, Yue Li, Liyue, and Li Yao were women he had put into his heart. People he had decided to care for. Even Wei Yuanfeng, since he had brought her here and would protect her—the girl\'s past was too similar to his own, and he knew exactly what she was going through even while acting so cheery.

But Hua Yu and Hua Feilan?

He didn\'t care for them one bit. To him, they were but tools at best.

Yet, Hua Yu was his partner.

Hua Yu smiled. She knew what the calm glance meant. "You don\'t like us much, huh? But who says that would be so forever? I might be one thing, but Feilan has charm. If I was not a woman myself, I might have even fallen in love with her.

Why don\'t you give her a chance to be your disciple?"

Han Li smiled back, calm.

"Fine, see this as a favor in our long partnership."

"So what is the next plan? Waiting till that Yang Wei guy comes?" Hua Yu questioned.

"Next..." Han Li took a deep breath.

There was something he has to do.
