My Mother Has a System but Won't Use It

His eyes calmly roamed the dark room, and he stood up from the bed. He stretched a bit, making popping sounds echo out of his body, like numerous gears switching into place. With a calm gait, he looked into the mirror in the room.

His appearance hadn't changed much, but it had changed. He had become leaner. Slimmer. His hair was still pure black chaos above his head; it had become healthier at a glance, and normal people would struggle to even cut his hair; it fell to his shoulder, still having a bit of blood sticking to it on the edges. His skin still looked sun-tanned. His eyes were like blood, scarlet. On the middle of his forehead stood three rather eye-catching tiny little red mole-like marks.

Each mark was a mark of completion of one of the seven Transformations—Skin, Organ, Bone. His body in itself felt as if it had more substance overall. An unsheathed blade seemed an apt word to describe him. A smile curved his lips. Strength indeed came with beauty. He wasn't one to say no to that. Even though he wouldn't have minded the opposite.

He then looked at his hand, at his [Talents] list using Life Vision.

[Low-Level Seduction]

Lack of Lust allowed him to manipulate his own or other people's lust and make it void. To a state of lack. Fantasy Inducement allowed him to make people have brief moments of thought-lapse, making them forget something. Sensational Barrier allowed him to bar people's senses for a short time. Seduction allowed him to seduce others.

The most overpowered and signature Power of the Lust Spark was honestly Seduction once used well.

He hadn't needed to use it like that, but it was true. If it was used to its limit, slowly, people could be completely changed to seduced slaves by their own emotion of lust and, in turn, to his slave. It was much more potent than drugs. Yet, it was useless for Han Li at the same time. Low-level powers only worked on Evolved and lower-stage creatures. He would need Medium Level Powers for him to use on Power Born and High-Level Powers for it to work on Transcendent. He contemplated for a while. His Talent list was already quite good, but it was still lacking. For offense, he mainly used his sword since no Magical Power of the Lust Dao could come nearly close to his prowess with a sword. But Fantasy Inducement always helped him to confuse his enemies.

For Defense, his skin was better than anything else; now, he also had his Bone supporting that. What he lacked now was a Movement assisting Magic Power, and he also had something that he wished to test. With a thought, he walked beside his mother and checked her forehead. It was a bit hot due to the injury earlier, but the fruit had done its magic on her; she was completely healed already. Sitting there beside her, he began chanting the verse for the Magic Power Elusive Movement. He pained at the wastage of the Neutral Dao Crystals, but it was best to be as strong as he could be now. What the Magic Power Elusive Movement did was that it manipulated the lust of the people around the user of the Power and made their senses hallucinate that the user of the Power was moving elusively like a blur. And even though it didn't directly improve his speed, it was rather useful still. He wasn't faster, but it would appear so.

A total of six Crystals were used before the chant stopped working, and the Magic Power vanished from all of the Seven Continents. Even if some other person with a Minor Dao Soul of Lust tried to cast the Power, they would only fail. At the same time, another Talent was added to Han Li's list. It was akin to an instinct of his own. With a thought, without any Energy loss, he would be able to easily use this Power from now on.

He was almost ready for another battle now, but at the same time, not yet. His shoulder area had completely ravaged flesh, and he was also bleeding internally. It would be hell to treat him traditionally. His skin would be too tough to operate on for normal people in the first place, and he didn't want to go to the healing area inside the Starlight Zone.

He opened his mother's jaw and put two of his fingers into her mouth. A slick sensation surrounded his hand as she silently bit him on instinct. He smiled as a humongous portion of his stamina coursed through his hand into her. She must be feeling as if her whole body was in heat. Just about a minute later, she opened her eyes.

The first thing she saw was his hand in her mouth; she felt him play with her tongue using his fingers and, for another minute, stayed silent. All over her body, she felt as if he was hugging her. As if Han Li's aura of life itself was coursing through her. She groaned slightly.

Opening her mouth, he took his fingers out.

Groggy, she sat up with his help and muttered, "Another dose of stamina down my throat… my head is aching so bad I feel as if it would split. Xiao Li, where are we?"

"Maybe I injected a bit too much stamina. Should I take some back?" She shook her head, trying to gouge where they were but failing to think anything comprehensive. "I feel like I'd fall right onto the bed if I don't have this much stamina. What do you want?"

"Give me my sword and all the important things that are in your Empty Space. Keep Little Ruo and Yuanfen inside for the moment. And also help me trade something. You can go back to sleep after that."

She blinked slightly with blurry vision and waved her hand and, one by one, took out what he wanted. He also took out the things in his own space. A long minute passed, and leaning closer to him, she kissed his cheeks with heavy breaths. She was feeling feverish.

[Luck Trade] A golden screen appeared in front of her.

He handed her one of the three Water-type resources that he had stolen in the Demon World from a rag-tag team by killing them using the borrowed knife that was the Power Born high up in the Sky—Saintess Moon Fairy. He had two more, but he kept it secure to the side.

One of them vanished, the trade having been made. She spoke softly in his ear just before falling into her bed slowly: "Don't get in danger, Xiao Li. Just sleep next to me. I feel a bit weak."

Han Li adjusted her form and caressed her cheek. Gently pinching it. "I'll try not to get in danger."

He knew the Life-Type fruit was still working inside her to heal her. Each and every part of her was healing. It was a good thing in a sense; even her hidden ailments would vanish when she woke up. But till then, she would be groggy and lethargic.

He, on the other hand, waited calmly. Suddenly, the door to his room was pushed open, and a woman entered the room. She had a rather calm expression, pale face, green hair, and green eyes, in a green robe. There was a sensation of calm throughout her person. Just by standing there, she emitted an innately confident aura full of calm superiority to all other lifeforms surrounding her. She appeared cold and distant by nature. Like a leaf billowing in the wind, her hair floated as she moved.

Han Li frowned slightly but looked at her calmly. Until his calm broke.

She was the woman that he had seen in the backyard alongside Hua Feilan, Li Yao, and Liyue. He hadn't bothered to even use Life Vision on her, but now, looking at her with it, his heart skipped a beat. No, it skipped more than two beats.

He took a deep breath and calmed down.

[Hua Yu] [Age: 299]

[Current Cultivation: Power Birth]

[End time cultivation in the first life Premonition: Power Birth, Intermediate Dao Soul of Moss]

[End time cultivation in the last Premonition: Power Birth, Intermediate Dao Soul of Moss]

[Death: (in the last Premonition) At age 390, she was pulled into the depths of the ocean by a Beast King Octopus and then drowned to Death in the middle of her escape attempt. Suffocating.]

She was a Power Born he had heard about in his past life. He had never seen her, but he knew the name. He knew her famous Death. She had been eaten by the Octopus Beast King, but she was not one to die without leaving behind a surprise. The whole body of that beast was completely filled with moss, and two days later, it floated above the sea like a dead husk devoured by moss. This woman was no simple person. Han Li exhaled.

Why was such a woman here?

More than that, however, was the hair on his nape standing up. He had been too uncautious since this was his own home, but what was now spread in front of him was a literal haul of treasures. Two Water Dao Resources were not that big of a deal; the knife was obviously extraordinary, and there were two beast cores. One from the snake he had killed in the Demon World and another from the vine he had killed when underwater before entering the Demon World. There was also a bunch of red fruits. Then there was his inconspicuous Life Sword. On the side was his Demonic Lust Sutra Book. Had he known she was a Power Born, he would have known that she could sense him when he entered the home. Had he known. Luckily, he hadn't pulled out the Neutral Dao Crystals. Yet, his throat grew parched.

The woman looked at him, her green eyes full of serenity. Then, her gaze moved to Yue Li who was in servant robes full of blood smattering its surface. She couldn't help but frown her beautiful beautiful eyebrows.
