After all the promises were given and everyone was bound, all of them exchanged a glance with each other. Han Li himself looked at them and he had to say, he felt much more relaxed being in this place now.
All of them were people he could trust blindly.
"If one of you ever wants to leave the Paradise and wants to keep out of it, I won't act against you," he said sincerely, "and if you ever want to leave, you may leave. The binding doesn't include a law that requires you to be part of us forever, as you all must have noticed."
Many nodded. They were a family now and the room in itself felt weird. Cozy.
Hua Feilan was probably the most affected, as Han Li noticed her hands were trembling. He sighed inwardly. For a woman with the moniker 'Friend of All Women,' she really was a rather vulnerable person inwardly.
She had a hard time actually putting trust in anyone. She had an extensive connection of friends, her circle was wide but not deep. Indeed, a friend of all was an enemy to oneself.
She must be feeling right at home now.
He smiled at her and she clenched her hand, stopping the trembling. She asked, "So Sect Master, what is the goal of our sect? The grand goal that we are all after."
Han Li took the king piece from the chess board and placed it in the middle of the board.
"Our goal is taking control over Life and Death. We have to surpass mortality. It doesn't matter if I myself become the person at the end who does this—one of us just has to achieve it. And that person will be obligated to revive the others."
"Grand goals," Ruo mumbled from the side, glancing at Liyue out of the corner of her eyes. "Can I praise him at least?"
Liyue glared at her and she shut up. Then showed her tongue to Liyue in a mocking gesture. Liyue stifled a smile and looked at her Brother Han.
"So I will begin the first act of the Paradise on a good note."
He made his mother sit to the side and stood up. He gave Li Yao a hand and she stood up by pulling on it. Liyue clenched her hand in excitement from the side, she could clearly guess his next actions.
"You are all up for a surprise," Liyue warned them. "Bet you will all pee your pants in admiration."
Everyone became even more curious as they glanced at Han Li and Li Yao.
Han Li didn't do anything special and adjusted his mother-in-law's rather ruffled monk robes for starters. He then kissed her gently on the mouth, and for a long, awkward minute, they just silently made out in front of each other without any intention of doing anything.
Ruo mocked, "I am so surprised I peed myself."
Liyue blushed in shame and stormed to Ruo's side before strangling the girl in a chokehold. Ruo wanted to escape but in the end, she resignedly found out that Liyue had far better martial skills.
She could only cry injustice. Why had she been so incapable of shutting her mouth?
Ruo looked at Yue Li for help. "Mom! Help, please help me from this madwoman!"
She was now an Awakening Stage Cultivator.
In Han Li's perception, he could sense her like a bright sun in the night sky. He didn't even have to use Soul Sense or their Heart Qi bond.
In the entire world, everyone with a Lust Dao Spark or a Lust Dao Soul was in his perception, he could sense them as if they were little ants crawling through his senses.
He could sense each and every one of them. All of them were people who practiced his Dao, after all. He could, of course, also give permission to use his Dao's Magic Powers to the others to practice.
He was the owner of Lust Dao and of course, he could the Lust Spark to anyone he wished.
Of course, he could charge them Dao Crystals for using his Magical Powers too; just like the Heavens did.
Everyone who used a Lust Dao Magic Power had to pay him Dao Crystal.
The Dao was his, his alone—and he had full power over it. He could even change the word for summoning the Magic Power if he wanted to.
For example, Seduction was one of the 300 Talents of the Lust Dao. If someone said the chant for it, they would be able to use it—he could decide if he wanted to let them use it, and he could also make them pay up for using it.
There was much more to this than just that but he didn't ponder over it for now. He had to clear other more important things first before he could enter a long seclusion and clear all of his doubts.
But he had a thought. Didn't all this power with just Lust Dao also mean that if he gained the entire Life Great Dao...
All the Daos under Life Great Dao would become his workers making Dao Cystals?
There was much to ponder.
Han Li gulped, savoring the graceful taste of his mother-in-law's lips.
"Don't worry, this is just the start of your cultivation, Li Yao. I want every one of my women to be exceptional, exceptional beyond anyone. So this is just your start—and you have a long way to go."
Li Yao leaned up and kissed him.
Liyue said, "The hottest man in the world. Damn, now I am horny."
"You always were." Ruo mocked.
Yue Li smiled and came closer to pinch Ruo's cheek.
"So cheeky. But that's why I love you. Liyue, poor girl, let her go."
Ruo nodded in enthusiasm and Liyue scoffed as she let her go.
