Omnipotent Husband System

Kun Lie and Kun Lin were shocked, they both gazed at Han Lingshi and their faces turned pale. They did not expect such a thing to come at them. The lady before then took back her smile and asked calmly, "Do you think I cannot be his wife?"

Kun Lie shook his head hurriedly and said, "You misunderstood us, Your Majesty."

Han Lingshi raised her brow and said, "It would be nice if you addressed me as Young Madam Hao for the moment, I am not yet a royal."

Kun Lie shook his head and said, "You are the wife of His Excellency, Wandering Dragon, so you are ultimately a queen, but still I would respect your wishes, Madam Hao."

Han Lingshi nodded and looked at Ye Lan as she said, "Serve the food."

Ye Lan waved her hands and the maids served the food on the plates. Kun Lie and Kun Lin were nascent soul level cultivators. While the investigation told that Kun Lie was attacked and got seriously injured, that is why his realm stopped but do not underestimate his worth. His connections and the knowledge is what makes him scary and the Master of one of the biggest merchant families of the lands.

Han Lingshi asked, "Are you thinking why are we eating food, when we have already reached the level of cultivation where we can feed off of spiritual energy?"

Kun Lie nodded and Han Lingshi asked, "Can you tell me why you are here, Master Kun?"

The old man replied after organizing his words, "We wanted to ask you to lift the sanctions on the Oriental Trading House. In the past five years, we have suffered great losses and the business is about to break apart."

Han Lingshi nodded and replied, "I know that Ren imposed a ban on your organization, but you should be aware why he did it, right? I do not think a simple plea would make up for it. Your organization caused the deaths of three of his closest people. Had it been myself, the outcome for you would have been even worse."

Kun Lie took a deep breath. Han Lingshi's words had visibly agitated the old man and Kun Lin suddenly stood up and bowed to Han Lingshi as she said, "Madam Hao, I was the one who led that mission and it was my action that caused those three to fall. If it pleases you, please take my head off, but can you please convince His Excellency to give us some means to survive. It is not just our family but all those people who work for us that are suffering. Please, for the sake of your citizens, forgive us. I am willing to pay the price."

Han Lingshi sighed, and looked at Ye Lan before she said, "This young lady here is the sister to those three men that you killed back in the days. Had we wanted you to die, it would have been very easy."

Kun Lin shivered, she raised her head to look at Ye Lan who did not avert her gaze. It was as if the latter was staring at a corpse, the indifference was what shocked Kun Lin. She was the proud person who did things resolutely and always did what was the best for her family. Back then she found out that Hao Ren was sending people to negotiate in the western Zen Kingdom.

She purposefully created a rumor that the Buddhist people would not negotiate these things, and provoked Xi to take an offensive path. It was also Kun Lin's moves that caused the three Ye Generals to die. That was the moment when Hao Ren distanced himself from Xi, and at the same time, he began to block the Kun family at every turn and banned them from operating in his territory.

Han Lingshi asked, "Ye Lan, what so you think? Shall we give them another chance? After all their are innocents getting affected by this."

Ye Lan did not hesitate and bowed her head as she said, "You can make the decision, Young Miss."

Han Lingshi nodded and said, "Master Kun, I do not wish to rub you off in the wrong direction. You are my elder, and having a trade route is a very important thing in deciding the prosperity of a nation. While I also wish to allow you to trade, I do not know if the conditions I have would be okay."

Kun Lei asked, "What conditions are those?"

Han Lingshi sighed and replied, "Firstly, Miss Kun Lin would have to go and guard the tomb of the three fallen people for an year."

The two people were shocked, However, Han Lingshi did not stop and continued, "It is the better method to make up for your mistakes than to die, Miss Kun. Guarding the tomb is not a shameful thing, but also honor, because I am sure, your opponents did not go down without causing you something. They have earned this honor."

Kun Lin could only swallow her pride when she sensed a cold gaze locked on her. Ye Lan would have given her the most painful deaths had Hao Ren allowed her to. However, she realized now why the young man forbade them from killing anyone from the Kun family. He wanted them to beg him, and his people for a life line.

Kun family have tried many things after that incident but nothing worked. Hao Ren foiled every plan and every move that was made against him. Now, the day had come true, Kun Lin was bowing her head to them.

Master Kun asked, "What is the second condition?"

Han Lingshi replied with a faint smile, and said, "You will never look at the information trading against the Crescent Moon Kingdom. You are merchants, make profit, be richer than the royal house, but if you tried to harm the royal family from the next time. I will show you a scene you would never forget even after death. Do you agree?"

Her words stunned Master Kun, he did not expect to be threatened like this, but he had no doubt that Han Lingshi will make sure to do what she just said. He gulped and nodded as he said, "We accept."n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

Han Lingshi nodded and said, "Ye Lan, arrange a good room for Miss Kun in the Forbidden Wing of the Crescent Moon Palace. Make sure that she is well taken care off. Although her task is to clean the graves twice a day and water the trees around them. Rest of the time, she can stay inside the palace room or practice her martial arts, however, within the coming one year, she is not to leave that place. Do you understand."

Ye Lan nodded and replied crisply, "Yes, Young Miss."

Han Lingshi nodded and gestured the two people to eat. Kun Lei sighed and then began to eat the food. He could not understand why Han Lingshi did not discuss the profit share. It was because Kun Lei did not know about the tax laws that the young lady was about to bring out.

She was not going to let them feed off of the land without paying back what they owed. After dealing with Kun Lie, the young lady was about to send them off when another maid came and said something to Ye Lan. The maid nodded and stood back as Ye Lan told Han Lingshi about the situation who in turn nodded and said, "Since they have come so far, call them over. There is no point in hiding anything. After all, it will come out sooner or later."

Ye Lan nodded and gestured to the maid to carryout the instructions. The maid dashed out quickly. Han Lingshi said to Master Kun, "We will be joined by Dong Sirius, and Al-Jelal of the Silk Dream Merchant Company. I wonder what do you think of them?"

Master Kun was surprised when Han Lingshi said, "I am not familiar with the merchants, but you are Master Kun. I know that for a merchant benefit is the only thing that matters. So, as long as you help me with maintaining the status quo with your fellow merchants, I will name you as the exclusive Moon Essence Trader, and you can take twenty percent commission of every trade you make. What do you think?"

Old Master Kun and Kun Lin were shocked, they did not expect Han Lingshi to give them such a big gift. The old man nodded and stood up to bow to her as he profusely said, "Thank you for your generosity, I will do my best to help you out and will never betray the royal family. You have the word of the Kun Family, Madam Hao."

Han Lingshi nodded and said, "Good, happy cooperation."

Old Master Kun nodded and raised his cup of tea as he said, "Happy Cooperation."

Han Lingshi had benefited from this meeting, and now was the turn to do the same with the second meeting.
