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

"Grandma, we've finished slurping up all the noodles."

Yang Xian put down his chopsticks, his movements were extremely careful.

He glanced at Su Lingling, who was sipping her soup across from him, and tentatively began to speak.

"Can we... go back now?"

God knows how much suffering he endured while eating that bowl of noodles.

Being with this witch is a double torture, both mentally and physically!

The legs under the table are never still!

Sometimes she would hook his calf with her toes, and sometimes she would rub his knee with the back of her foot.

It made him so nervous that he was afraid to eat noodles, lest the woman suddenly put her legs up on the table!

Who can stand this?

"..."

Upon hearing Yang Xian's words, Su Lingling stopped drinking her soup.

The spoon collided with the porcelain bowl, making a crisp, light sound.

It stands out exceptionally clearly in this quiet little shop.

The girl's face now lacked its usual playful expression.

Yang Xian.

Her voice was soft, but it made Yang Xian's heart skip a beat.

It's all over.

I have a feeling something bad is going to happen!

When will Mengyun be back?

As the saying goes—

Only a woman can defeat a woman!

If she doesn't come back soon, Su Lingling is really going to ruin her.

"Do you... hate me?"

"You have no patience at all, asking me to come out and have some fun with you?"

"Where exactly... am I inferior to Lin Qingxue? And where... am I inferior to Jiang Mengyun?"

Su Lingling's eyelashes trembled slightly, making her look pitiful.

Yang Xian was speechless for a moment.

"I……"

He opened his mouth, but couldn't utter a single word.

Although this woman is not quite normal most of the time, this is just her way of expressing affection.

The problem is, he did nothing wrong!

As a man with a girlfriend, he should proactively keep his distance from other women.

Is something wrong?

"hehe……"

But at this moment, Su Lingling suddenly smiled.

There was a hint of self-deprecation in that smile.

"Yang Xian, now that things have come to this, let's not beat around the bush."

She leaned forward slightly, placed her hands on the table, and fixed her beautiful eyes on Yang Xian.

"Yang Xian, I like you. Be my boyfriend!"

"If you agree to my request, I can help you win back Lin Qingxue, and even allow you to continue seeing Jiang Mengyun."

"I don't care how many women you have!"

"I only want you..."

The girl's voice trembled with a hint of a sob.

It was an almost humble plea.

"..."

Yang Xian fell completely silent.

To be honest, it's amazing that such a beautiful school beauty would say something like that to me.

To say I wasn't tempted would be a lie.

Yang Xian could even feel his heart beating faster than he could control.

After spending the last two days together, he couldn't help but develop feelings for this school beauty.

This is a thought that any normal person would have.

Tell me, what man could resist the dream of having a harem?

If he could, he would also like to nod.

But unfortunately...

Jiang Mengyun has already gotten there first.

He couldn't betray her for his own selfish desires.

After a dozen seconds of silence, Yang Xian finally gathered his thoughts and slowly opened his mouth.

"Su Lingling, I..."

"That's enough!"

Su Lingling abruptly interrupted him, the pleading look on her face vanishing instantly.

She already knew the answer, and at the same time, she completely dropped her pretense.

"I knew you wouldn't agree, you blockhead! I was so stupid to actually hope you'd say yes... You're incredibly naive!"

Yang Xian was bewildered by her 180-degree change in attitude.

What... what's going on here?

Even Sichuan opera face-changing isn't this fast!

"Yang Xian, I gave you a chance!"

Su Lingling's gaze turned extremely aggressive. "Since the soft approach isn't working, then I'll have no choice but to... use force!"

She winked playfully, then reverted to her innocent expression.

"Honey, wasn't that bowl of their signature rice noodles delicious?"

After saying this, Yang Xian felt the world around him begin to spin, and his head felt heavy.

wrong!

There's something in the powder!

At that moment, all the illogical things in Yang Xian's mind came together!

Why would Su Lingling specifically bring me to this godforsaken, remote alley?

Why does this rice noodle shop look so good, yet it doesn't have a single customer?

It was spotless!

It turns out that from the very beginning, this was a trap tailor-made for me!

"Su Lingling, you..."

Before Yang Xian could finish speaking, everything went black, and he fell forward.

The next moment, Su Lingling nimbly walked around the table and steadily embraced Yang Xian.

She felt the weight in her arms and smiled gently.

"Mom was right after all. If you meet a man you like, you should just knock him out and take him home."

"To prevent him from having affairs outside, which could lead to unforeseen problems."

As soon as he finished speaking, the curtain to the inner room was lifted.

The kind-looking "grandma" from before was now standing respectfully to the side.

Behind her, a row of burly men in black suits stepped out and bowed to Su Lingling in unison.

"Miss!"

The voices were perfectly synchronized and full of power!

The old woman stepped forward and whispered her report: "Miss, I have done as you instructed and put a special 'Drunken Immortal Powder' into that bowl of noodles. It is colorless and odorless, and even a martial artist would be dizzy for half a day."

"Well done."

Su Lingling nodded in satisfaction, then pointed with her chin at Yang Xian in her arms.

"Carry him back, wash him clean, and take him to my room."

"This young lady tonight..."

"It's time to break my fast!"

"Yes, Miss!" The leading man in black waved his hand.

Two people immediately stepped forward and swiftly lifted Yang Xian up.

Su Lingling couldn't help but smile.

Yang Hyun, oh Yang Hyun!

That silly girl Lin Qingxue actually gave up on you just because she awakened martial arts.

That bitch Jiang Mengyun, she made her move before me, yet she didn't just take care of you. How naive and laughable!

Since you're all so reserved, then I won't hold back!

They got such a huge advantage for nothing.

I'll take Yang Xian's first virginity for my sisters!

------

On the other side, inside a military vehicle that is driving smoothly.

"Dad, is Great-Grandpa... really out of options?"

Jiang Mengyun looked at the street scene rushing past the window, her mind in turmoil, but she couldn't help but ask in the end.

"There's no other way, Mengyun. Your great-grandfather guarded the front line of the South China Sea for a hundred years, and his body is covered with hidden injuries."

"This time, they forcefully used their source power again... It's already a miracle that they've managed to hold on until now."

"unless……"

Father Jiang paused, then shook his head bitterly. "Unless we can find the legendary 'Nine-Turn Life-Extending Lotus' that is over ten thousand years old, even a god couldn't save him."

The Nine-Turn Life-Extending Lotus of Ten Thousand Years?

That thing only exists in legends; few people have even heard of it, let alone seen it.

Sitting on the other side, Jiang's mother put her arm around her daughter's shoulder with heartache.

"Your great-grandfather was the pillar of the Jiang family. If he were to fall, the Jiang family's standing in Nanhai City would surely plummet."

"If there were a way, your dad would be more anxious than anyone else."

Jiang's mother changed the subject and gently patted her daughter's hand:

"Mengyun, you're not getting any younger. There are some things you should start thinking about."

"Mom just wants to ask you one question: have you taken a fancy to any young men?"
