My Mother Has a System but Won't Use It-Chapter 222: Eyes that see the soul

As the night peaked, Han Li entered Liyue's room. She was a bit surprised and opened her eyes from her meditative position.

"I thought you wouldn't come tonight and would instead sleep with Hua Feilan. She confessed to you after all," Liyue said curiously, her eyes lighting up slightly.

Han Li headed closer to the bed and pushed her down. They exchanged a short kiss, and she breathed some icy mist on his face. He looked at her with a rather mesmerized gaze.

They parted, and the connecting saliva between their lips glinted gently in the moonlight that entered the room through the open windows.

"I was with her. She and I drank tea by the moon, and Hua Yu joined us, too. She tried to begin speaking about the relationship but was a bit hesitant. Feilan needs a bit of time. She seems to have some stories to tell me."

Liyue looked at him lovingly, a smile adorning her breathtaking face. "That doesn't really explain why my dear hubby came directly to me, you know? You have more options: my mom just gained the Lust Spark, and she would love some company. And Mother Yue had been complaining about not having you with her all the time, too."

Exchanging another brief kiss, Han Li looked at her. She was vulnerable, sleeping under him with her dark locks spread around the white bedsheet.

He kissed her forehead. "I don't know. After I slept with you once, my body is craving for you. I just can't do anything about it. I have been resisting the urges, but the moonlight and night just pulled me here. I just wanted to be with you this night."

"Pulled you in?" Liyue chuckled like soft bells, her limpid black eyes looking at him mischievously. "So you really couldn't resist your Liyue's beauty this time, huh?"

Han Li smiled wryly. "Your charm is indeed deadly."

Liyue smiled. "So, sleep already or just cuddle like this for the night? I like the second option more. Been a long, long time since I just cuddled to sleep—Mother Yue always owns that privilege."

"You seem head-bent on stealing my mother's things, huh? She won't be pleased."

"You are mine just as much as hers. How can it be stealing? I take what is mine. I deserve to sleep like that tonight. Of course, I don't really mind if you want to do the other sleeping tonight."

Han Li laid on the bed, and Liyue crawled into his embrace joyfully.

"Kiss and cuddles all night?" she asked him.

He just kissed her. "Take out the Spirit first. Let me have a talk with that thing."

Liyue growled. "So you didn't come here because of a craving to sleep with me!"

"I did; that was not a lie."

"Lies!"

Han Li looked at her fair face, puffing up with anger, and placed a kiss on her juicy lips.

She tried to wiggle away but then submitted pretty quickly and began devouring his tongue instead.

They broke away.

"Big Brother, you really did come here just to speak with the Spirit, didn't you?" she lamented exaggeratedly but cutely. "You meanie. If you loved me, you could have asked for the Spirit late—"

Her lips were locked.

"Meani—"

Lips were locked once more.

"Hatefu—"

"Bastar—"

"Annoyin—"

"Dummy!"

She suddenly stopped speaking and looked at Han Li's smiling face.

"Why did you stop? Continue," she complained.

"How dare you call me such words." He bit her juicy lips gently, and she didn't dare to speak for fear of hurting herself with his sharp teeth, "I thought you respected me as your master."

He broke away with a smile. "I won't harm you, you fool. I have good control over myself."

Liyue blushed. "I know, but my lips are one of the things you love the most. How can I harm them?"

"Oh…" Han Li sighed. "Then you can't harm no place in you now."

She paused in her moves. Han Li could literally see her slightly panicking in her lying position. Even her heart had skipped a beat.

Then, she became silent.

"…"

"…"

Her breath all but squeezed out of her chest. "Damn you, Big Brother. My soul almost jumped out of my head."

Han Li smiled. "Is it really the first time I told you something like that?"

"It…"

Her heart was still fluttering, and she just wanted a kiss now. She pulled his head to her lips, and they were both in a land of each other for a while. She didn't let him pull out until she was breathless.

They just looked at each other for a long time after that. She could almost scream.

He had never really said he loved her—he did say it, but that was to the Spirit when she had just woken up after Evolving and not directly to herself. She herself didn't think she would be this startled when he actually said it for once.

She gulped. He just looked at her amusingly.

She was an absolute masterpiece of beauty, her brows like slanted swords perfectly carved, while her eyes were like those of dewy waters. Her face, too, was just a sight to behold as she blushed. One would just want to bite her cheeks and make her say sweet things.

Only Han Li could make her do that, though. Only he could bite her cheeks, too.

"Now take out the Spirit. Let's do the important stuff first before we fall into bed for actual."

Liyue nodded, still feeling thrilled. "The Spirit says the Heavens will devour it if it comes out into the open without a body. I can't take it out. You will have to enter my Empty Space with your Existence—Spirit taught me a way to do that."

When it tried to possess her, she had obviously had the higher hand, and of course, she had used the chance to make the Spirit into her pet.

She had made the Spirit promise on its own Existence that it would not lie or act against them without her permission.

Soon, she planned to let the Spirit possess an unhatched egg. She really planned to make it her pet—her chicken pet. If people knew that she planned to make a past Transcendent into her chicken, they would cry blood.

Han Li himself was secretly amazed inside.

"Let the Spirit come out," he said, "Heaven can't devour her when I am here."

Liyue smiled. If he says so.

'Spirit, you are allowed out of my Empty Space. Come out, and don't you dare disrespect my Big Brother. I'll kill you if you do!'

The Spirit was filled with fear and sadness.

Her lofty goals, her lofty ambitions, her sacrifices… She felt simmering hatred and slowly moved out into the real world. When the Existence moved out of the body, it was the same as someone trying to Evolve.

When someone tried to Evolve, they brought their sparks far out of their body, and that would make them also subconsciously pull out their Existence; vulnerable to the heavens, they could only have a quick fight with it and try to go back into the body.

The Heavens were omnipresent.

Just as the Spirit came out, a so mighty Existence began to move and surround her. She could feel that she would soon begin to get devoured by the Heavens. The Heavens were the 7 Great Daos combined—it was the mightiest of all in the Seven Continents.

But it was weakened. It couldn't even easily eat a person trying to Evolve, not to mention her, so quickly. She could hide inside her Vital Weapon, Mirror Mind, to hide from the Heavens, too, but she didn't have much energy remaining after failing to possess Liyue.

She felt as if she was about to die in a mere few seconds and waited, but a smaller but still unique power covered her in a blanket, and the Heavens could only stare helplessly.

The Dao of Lust had protected her.

She felt a chill up her sleeve as Han Li's red gaze looked at her like food ready to be eaten.

'Life Vision,' Han Li thought calmly. Her information began to appear before him, but it was no longer as it used to be; now he could see deeper. His gaze could well and truly penetrate souls.

His Sacred Eyes gave him every facet of the Spirit, Munyu.
