My Mother Has a System but Won't Use It

54  Young Master rizz

Han Li looked at Yue Li and Liyue's backs as they entered Liyue's home. Then, he yawned and walked to the side.

His Mom and Liyue's mother were going to speak and meet with each other for the first time. But that didn't really interest him, he had just come alongside for the sake of it.

Standing outside and looking up at the moon hidden half under whisk-like dark clouds, he took the flagon of alcohol on his side and took a sip.

The fruity taste glided down his throat, sending a warm sensation throughout his body. "It's weak but it does have its charm," he said.

Walking from the side leading to the merchant area, a fat man came towards him and said, "I was wondering where the smell of wine came from. No wonder, it was you. When did you come?"

Han Li raised the flagon. The morning rain's effects had yet to vanish and today's night was especially piercing. "How is it fatso, want a drink?" he asked with a shake of the flagon.

"I would have," Pang Li sighed and put the bag in his hand down, "But as you know, my defect after failure is around the stomach. Alcohol doesn't go well with me."

Taking another gulp, Han Li breathed out some turbid air. "Uh, with that kind of pain… it really is quite troublesome."

Pang Li nodded and sat down to the side. He was already dirty from all the mud and rain, it didn't really matter to him if his back got muddy. "Try not to fail in your Evolution if you don't want to experience something like that."

Han Li corked the flagon and put it to the side. "I always wanted to ask you. Why do you work so hard now? Your daughter is safe in my hands and your wife is also not going to have much to look forward to by you gaining some small fortune. So what is it that makes you work so hard?"

Turning silent, Pang Li simply leaned on his house's walls. "Maybe alcohol doesn't hurt once in a while."

Han Li passed him the flagon. The man undid the cork and took a deep sip.

Then, he turned silent for a long while before answering. "I never had anything to my name, no house, no family, nothing."

Rising an eyebrow, Han Li's eyes twitched. A big backstory?

"But I never flinched and became capable enough to marry a woman. That's Li Yao. I ended up marrying her, and similarly, in the end, Liyue is also my daughter. I am sure I will die in 20 or 30 years at most… I want to at least leave behind good memories of myself and something by which to remember me."

"So, the riches you leave behind would be your memento?" Han Li asked.

"Yes. It will be."

"Can I ask you something Fatty? How long had it been since you and Li Yao spoken?"

The fat man turned completely silent.

Han Li nodded to himself. He had some suspicions but now it was sure. Whenever Liyue was late at night, she would always return saying her Mother was alone at home.

Why? What happened to her father?

He simply wasn't someone who asked or talked with his family much.

"Are you guys in some kind of fight?" he asked.

"Not really, we are in a happy relationship and we do care for the little girl. It's just that, in the past few years of our lives, we both became slightly distant," Pang Li said, "In one part, we both cannot have intimate times."

Han Li nodded. Just like Yue Li couldn't be touched under her legs when she used to have leg pain, Liyue's mother was the same.

The people who lost in their Evolution mostly always lose their sexual capabilities. Even Pang Li, his stomach having that kind of pain would have surely made him lose such powers.

Who could even get hard when they felt like their soul would tear in pain if they hardly worked that part of their body?

Han Li didn't even allow his mother to cook while standing when she faced it after all.

"And then, there was Liyue's matter. Li Yao doesn't understand that what I did can only affect my daughter in a good way. But I know." Pang Li didn't elaborate on that but Han Li knew what he meant.

It was the whole thing about benefits and losses. If Liyue had a big loss due to marriage, that was her virginity. But in benefits, the possibility for benefits was high.

Especially when the Husband would never be able to keep a woman under a cage in this city and zone. They had unwritten rules.

"So, after that, you guys rarely spoke, huh?" Han Li smiled. He didn't really want to break this couple for no reason since he could get women who had failed in their Evolution anywhere. But his absorbing Li Yao's Soul Energy was good for them rather than bad.

But there was a problem. If he ever touched a woman, he didn't like her to be touched by another. His property was his.

He wouldn't let heaven steal from him or man either. It was just like his life and death, he liked it being under his control.

"Pang Li, I have a question for you. If you could heal yourself and your wife, and leave your daughter a fantastic life, would you take it? But there is a catch, you will never see Li Yao or Liyue ever again." Pang Li chuckled, "If I indeed had such an option, I would take it without a blink. Old people do lose their love, I and Li Yao didn't even marry because of love in the first place. If I can ease her pain and fulfill my role as a father with one move, half of my life's purpose is complete."

"Half?" Han Li asked in intrigue. It was rare that he ever got curious about a man.

"I also have an ambition. Really, what man doesn't have one?" Pang Li looked at him with a side-eye. "I want to have a business, a great business somewhere where I am the richest person people could think of."

Nodding, Han Li said, "Then add that to the list, you will get that alongside the earlier offers."

"I would agree with no more thought."

Han Li smirked, "Go to Sarak City and visit the Highland Merchant Association, tell them that you are the Lord of coins sent by Gramura. Believe me, you will be the richest man in that town from then on. As for Li Yao and Liyue, don't worry about them anymore. I will take care of them."

Pang Li looked at the young man deeply and then chuckled. Sarak City was just one day away from here, so if he was scammed, he could come back any time.

He stood up and once more looked at the young man for the last time. In his mind, Han Li was a young master from a big clan who came and saw his daughter. He fancied her and he wanted her, in that same manner, Han Li saw his wife next and he wanted her too.

As a young master, he should have enough money to heal Li Yao too. He didn't have to know the rest, He understood Han Li was giving him a deal for his wife and daughter instead of a simple question. He was an intelligent businessman, he, of course, looked for more benefits. If he said no, everything would just be the same, only dumb idiots would choose that in his opinion.

Now Li Yao and Liyue were set for life and he was the same. As long as Han Li was true and not just pulling some kind of ridiculous prank.

But he was sure in his talent to read the room, so Pang Li chuckled heartily and instead of heading home, walked away from it.

Today was a good day, no, a great day. He had achieved his life's purpose.

He hadn't gotten rich in this city, but it was the same. Now there was just a 1 day travel to Sarak and he just had to spend his remaining life in his own way. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Han Li looked at him with a chuckle. Before he knew it, the man had understood his wishes and even seen through him. In reading the room at least, Pang Li was better than himself.

'But really, now I became the young master who takes women everywhere he goes…' He chuckled even louder.

As for the Sarak City? That was a place where some people were waiting for an heir to come. In truth, in Han Li's past life, after the Heir finally arrived; it was revealed that the one who said this specific code was to be chosen as an heir even if he was a commoner before.

But that code was something only an absurdly lucky person could find. Nevertheless, this time, even before the code was revealed, Han Li knew it. So it was his to give or take.

And he didn't mind losing it since he had many such encounters in his past life.

Losing one was nothing. 'Now I have to slowly make Li Yao mine…'

As for healing Pang Li? He was not the only person with a Life Dao-type Spark who could absorb Soul Energy out of others. There were clans out there who would heal people who failed in Evolution for a price.

With the amount the fatty gets, it won't be too much to spend some to heal himself.

Pang Li also understood the game.
