My Mother Has a System but Won't Use It

Suddenly, Han Li asked, "Hen Shin. I still have that promise, right? This year's teleportation. That's mine—hope there won't be any inconvenience."

The masked cultist looked down at him.

How dare this child?

Han Li chuckled.

He was sure he would fight the Sacred Cult one day or the other, and today, he had some plans. There was a renowned treasure in the cultivation world that had existed from ancient times—and today, that treasure was in the hunchback old man's hand from the Sacred Cult.

It usually wouldn't leave the hands of the Transcendent Stage master from their cult, but lucky for him, he guessed. But still, the hunch-backed old man was no simple game. He had a Power Birth Cultivation even though he was one of the weakest of the bunch.

If he were to use the treasure, he would become even more troublesome to deal with.

Hen Shin nodded. "That is true, Yashi. I had indeed promised the use of my powers for this year—and it is dedicated to the young man below."

"You have no power to promise others the use of this power." The hunchback old man, Yashi, growled.

Hen Shin shook his head with a sigh. "Indeed, as someone once said, it is better to be a soldier in a garden rather than a gardener in war. Who said people could bully me just because they want to?"

He muttered something, and all of the people around tensed.

Truth Dao Magical Power—Thorn of Lies can Hurt.

Suddenly, everyone other than Yashi and an old woman coughed up blood and jumped back in horror. Their masks dripped crimson.

Han Li's eyes shimmered.

Another Dao under the Life Great Dao—Truth Dao.

Hen Shin, on the other hand, had a calm mocking expression. "That power only hurts those who lie. What a filthy bunch. Even you, Yashi. Your defensive powers are admirable."

***

Hua Yu, Hua Feilan, Liyue, Ruo, Yue Li, Li Yao, Wei Yuanfen, and Shin Wenyu. All of them were above a particularly hidden room with a transparent ceiling. They could all see into the sky, and most of them had been watching the battle all night long.

Some had fallen asleep, of course. Not many had the patience to watch old men bicker.

Laying on Yue Li's lap, Ruo was comfortably silent for a while. When the battle began, her brown eyes shined, and she licked her lips.

"Mom. Power Borns are so strong, right?"

"Hm. They are," Yue Li combed the girl's hair as she nodded.

"There are seven people, right?" Ruo asked worriedly. "Can that old baldie even handle all those?" Then she increased her volume and asked, "I wonder why Sister Hua Yu doesn't go and help him."

Yue Li gave her forehead a flick. "I knew you were going to do that."

Ruo smiled and rubbed her forehead. With her white hair lying all over, she was extremely beautiful. Yue Li could tell why her son would be so into this young lady.

"Hehe. I am not my dumb mother. How can I not do my due diligence?" Ruo asked, a bit sleepy. "Even your son Han Li would be mad if I don't ask these basic questions—in fact, I should have asked earlier but I was too sleepy."

Yue Li pinched her nose, and Ruo grimaced.

…

Hua Yu stifled a yawn as she looked around. Most of the women were asleep in all sorts of weird forms. Some laying their heads on the couch, some on her bed, and some just sprawled on the ground.

"Don't ask me why I didn't go to help. Your big brother Han told me to protect you all here while the battle is ongoing." Hua Yu shrugged. "He must have his plans."

Ruo blinked and muttered. "He isn't being reckless, right?"

"Why are you suddenly worried after all this time?" It had already been a night. If Han Li had been reckless, he would have calmed down.

Liyue, who was in the lotus position, opened her eyes calmly from the side.

"Big Brother is never reckless."

Ruo blinked. "Well, I won't deny that."

"Just enter his bed when he is in the mood. You will know how good he is and why we love him so much." Liyue sighed. "Of course, that's not the only reason."

Ruo rolled her eyes and looked towards another person in the room.

Shin Wenyu, who was awkwardly sitting on the couch where Wei Yuanfen was sprawled in an unsightly manner, nodded to her with stars in her eyes. This woman was not going to fall asleep tonight.

Ruo pondered for a second and then decided. Fuck it, I'll help you out a bit.

"Big Sister Liyue," Ruo called out and sat up from Yue Li's lap. Then she crawled towards Liyue and took her big sister's hand.

Liyue squinted her beautiful eyes at her. "What do you want, you sneaky brat?"

"My Big Sister is the most beautiful. The most graceful. Her spear is the most mighty, while her husband is the best of all men."

Liyue pinched the cheeky girl's ear. "What do you want?"

"Hehe. My big sister knows me the best. You know, right, my friend Wenyu over there…"

Liyue squinted, and Ruo gulped inwardly.

'Damn, this woman is scary,' she cursed.

Meanwhile, Shin Wenyu, on the side, had frozen in her sitting position and had a blush go all the way up her neck. She could guess what Ruo was about to say.

"So, Big Sister Liyue. Wenyu is head over heels for our handsome Brother Han. She is all over him and wants him to love her like he does you—any chance?"

Liyue looked at Wenyu curiously, then back at Ruo.

"She is a beautiful woman. I don't see any problem with her not getting a chance to sleep with him."

"Really?" Wenyu asked but then panicked. "But I don't just want to lose—lose my virginity to him. I want—I want to be like you."

"Like me?" Liyue frowned.

"Like, you know, he has these cold eyes even though it's hard to see the coldness. He walks around all indifferently with that, um, smile of his that seems just lionel. But whenever he sees you, it's like he changes… and becomes so caring."

"He changes around me?" Liyue couldn't help but have her eyes shine. "What is he like to you?"

"He is polite to me but indifferent. I… I showed him all the hints. I even grew my hair for him. Do I have no hope? Am I just bad?"

Liyue scratched her cheeks in curiosity. "I don't really know to be honest. I never had this trouble with Big Brother. He came to me and swooped me off my feet before I knew it, so yeah, maybe it's because you are not his taste."

"Brutal! More brutal than me!" Ruo muttered in wonder.

Wenyu, on the other hand, had paled.

She asked, "Or maybe it's because of my origin?"
