Martial arts have become extinct worldwide, yet I am forced to have a large family.

At this point, the girl's voice suddenly choked up, and she could no longer continue.

As if her pent-up emotions had finally found an outlet, Zhou Xier threw herself into Yang Xian's arms and burst into tears.

[Sadness: Pain! Xi'er's heart aches so much! +300 points!]

Yang Xian stiffened and gently patted the other person's trembling back.

Unwittingly, he seemed to have touched upon the girl's deepest pain.

"Don't cry, don't cry."

"Brother Yang, please don't ask anymore, okay?"

Ugh!

Yang Xian sighed heavily in his heart.

If I had known Xi'er would be this upset, I would have preferred not to ask that question at all.

Through these few days of getting to know each other, Yang Xian has roughly figured out some of the situation.

Xi'er's "fighting personality" doesn't seem to last very long, and there are significant limitations to its triggering and termination.

If she could switch places anytime, anywhere, she wouldn't have been so disheveled when she first met Xi'er in the alley, and she even lost one of her shoes.

Perhaps it was precisely because of this "power" that she couldn't control at will that she didn't go to the martial arts university...

"Hmph... Hmph..."

After a long while, the sobbing in her arms gradually subsided, turning into soft choking.

Zhou Xier slowly loosened her grip on Yang Xian.

She raised her head, her big, watery eyes were red and swollen, and the tip of her nose was also red, making her look exceptionally pitiful.

"Little kitten, your eyes are all swollen from crying..."

Looking at her disheveled yet adorable appearance, Yang Xian couldn't help but reach out and gently wipe away the tear stains on her cheeks with his fingertips.

"No, no!" Zhou Xier sniffed, her voice still thick with nasal tone.

"No, don't underestimate Xi'er!"

"Xi'er is an adult... eighteen years old!"

(⊙ˍ⊙)

Yang Xian paused slightly.

Are you really an adult?

He looked the girl up and down.

Why does this short guy look like a newly sprouted potato?

Of course, Zhou Xier's words are not entirely without evidence.

Although she is not tall, she has a very open mind.

Yang Xian even suspected that all the nutrients might have been concentrated in those two places.

"Ahem!" He coughed lightly, trying to hide the jumbled thoughts in his mind.

"Alright, you should rest here for a while and recover your internal energy."

"Brother Yang, go outside and survey the surrounding terrain. I'll also get you something to eat while I'm at it."

After such a long and arduous journey, and the highs and lows of battle and emotions, it's time for a good rest.

"Hmm↘↗!"

To everyone's surprise, Zhou Xier shook her head repeatedly and hugged Yang Xian's arm tightly.

She raised her tear-streaked face and pleaded:

"Brother Yang, please spend more time with Xi'er!"

"Don't you like pinching Xi'er's cheeks? You can pinch them now!"

"And you can touch Xi'er's head if you want..."

"As long as... as long as Brother Yang doesn't abandon Xi'er, Xi'er will do anything..."

Those clear, lake-blue eyes were filled with dependence.

[Hope: Brother Yang, please don't abandon Xi'er... +100 points!]

Legal loli?

Anything is fine?

Do not!no!

The faces of Jiang Mengyun and Su Lingling flashed through Yang Xian's mind in an instant.

If you really want to do that without getting permission from one of them...

It will kill people!

"Oh well."

"Brother Yang, please spend more time with Xi'er."

Yang Xian eventually softened.

His hand involuntarily rose up and gently ruffled her smooth, long blue hair; the feel of it was surprisingly pleasant.

It's just spending more time with each other, it's not a big deal.

Yang Xian also quite liked this girl.

"Hehe! I knew Brother Yang was the best to me!"

Upon receiving an affirmative answer, a smile instantly bloomed on Zhou Xier's face.

She suddenly tiptoed and gave Yang Xian a light, fleeting kiss on the cheek with her soft, warm lips.

"Pop~"

Yang Xian froze completely.

------

On the other side of the secret realm.

"Big brother, there's a new change in the rankings on the bracelet."

"Just now, someone suddenly broke into the fourth position on the list."

"His name is... Yang Xi'an."

A clear, cool female voice rang out.

The so-called "Yang Xi'an" was naturally the pseudonym Yang Xian used when registering.

Not long ago, after eliminating Zhao Tian and his group, he obtained half of their points.

Although two of them destroyed their own bracelets, their points will still be credited to the player closest to them.

And this person was naturally Yang Xian.

A man sitting cross-legged slowly opened his eyes, a glint of light flashing in them.

He was about twenty-five or twenty-six years old, with a resolute face.

"Yeah?"

"It seems that there are quite a few talented people in Group Six. They've all been keeping their abilities hidden for so long."

This man is named Wang Yi, the eldest son of the Wang family, a renowned martial arts clan.

After giving birth to offspring for the family and continuing the family line, he devoted himself entirely to martial arts.

With his martial arts talent and the resources of his family, he cultivated to the peak of the third realm in just a few years.

The Wang family did not obtain any internal slots for this core area secret realm, so he must secure a slot for the family in this open selection competition.

Wang Yi was extremely warlike.

On the leaderboard of Group Six, his name is prominently displayed at number one.

"My true energy has almost fully recovered..."

"Let's go! Let's continue hunting for the next one."

Wang Yi slowly stood up, stretched his limbs, and made a series of crackling sounds.

"Big brother!" The woman quickly stepped forward.

"Your points are already far ahead of the second place, so there's no need for us to risk targeting other players."

"The patriarch instructed before setting off that securing a spot was the top priority this time..."

However, before she could finish speaking, a large hand suddenly grabbed her neck.

Wang Yi's eyes suddenly turned violent.

"Didn't my father also say that within the secret realm, everything is under my control?"

"Yes...yes..."

The woman's face turned red from being choked, and she had difficulty breathing, only managing to squeeze out a few words from her throat.

"Bang!"

Wang Yi casually flung her away, sending her crashing heavily to the ground.

He looked down at the woman who was struggling to get up.

"If you're going to raise a daughter, you should have the awareness and understanding that comes with it!"

"You're nothing but a dog kept by the Wang family! All you need to do is follow orders, don't try to boss me around!"

"Come on!"
