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

Uncle... is that Yang Xi'an?

How is that possible!

The two don't look alike at all!

Besides, isn't Yang Xi'an using ice-based techniques? This uncle uses lightning techniques!

"happy Yan, you...you don't joke with me like this..." Ye Huairou's voice was trembling.

"I'm not joking." Zhou Xiyan's expression was extremely serious. "I know you drank the water he drank from, ate his leftovers, and he even looked you up and down..."

"happy Yan!" Ye Huairou's cheeks flushed red instantly, and she subconsciously reached out to cover her best friend's mouth.

"How...how did you know all of this?!"

She never mentioned these extremely shameful things to anyone!

Besides myself and the older man, there is absolutely no way a third person in this world could know!

unless……

The girl's heart clenched painfully.

Could it be that the uncle... really is Yang Xi'an?

But he... he's already fallen into the crater...

Ye Huairou's eyes welled up with tears in an instant.

She herself couldn't explain why she was so sad.

I felt a deep emptiness and intense pain in my heart.

Looking at her like this, Zhou Xiyan sighed softly: "The person who bullied you is gone, so you don't need to seek revenge anymore."

"No...it's not like that..." Ye Huairou shook her head violently, tears streaming down her face uncontrollably.

"I never thought that way... never..."

"Uncle..."

She threw herself into Zhou Xiyan's arms and burst into tears.

Zhou Xiyan gently patted her back, a knowing glint in her eyes.

There is a play!

If Huairou truly hated Yang Xian, she wouldn't have cried like this.

"What if I said..." Zhou Xiyan whispered in Ye Huairou's ear, her mouth slightly open, "He's still alive?"

Upon hearing this, Ye Huairou's crying stopped abruptly, and she jerked her head up: "Xiyan, what do you mean by that?"

Zhou Xiyan's gaze fell on the silver wolf not far away.

"If the master really dies..."

"His contracted beast couldn't possibly have no reaction at all..."

In a few days...

The Jiang family's high-level conference room.

"The 'Nine-Turn Life-Extending Lotus,' which we prepared for so long and paid such a high price, was actually used by a girl from the Luo family!"

An elder with a fiery temper slammed his hand on the table, making the teacup vibrate.

"What are Jiang Yu and his ilk doing? The family has worked so hard to raise them, is this how they repay us?"

"A bunch of useless trash!"

"The Luo family! I think they're deliberately trying to oppose our Jiang family! They've gone too far!"

"In my opinion, we should just charge over there and make the Luo family give us an explanation!"

Inside the conference room, accusations and angry shouts rose and fell.

"Knock knock!"

Suddenly, two crisp tapping sounds came from the top of the long table.

The sound wasn't loud, but it instantly silenced the entire conference room.

All eyes were drawn to that position—Jiang Hong, the current head of the Jiang family.

"If we can't get it, it means that the treasure is not meant for our Jiang family."

Jiang Hong's voice was calm, revealing no emotion.

"There are so many eyes watching us right now. We must not let a moment of anger lead to a direct confrontation with the Luo family."

He glanced around at the crowd and continued, "What are the people below saying? Has the medicinal power extracted from that Luo family girl helped Father's injuries?"

"Master, come home!" A subordinate immediately stepped forward, bowed, and reported, "According to the analysis, the medicinal power in Luo Bingyan's body is almost gone, and it will have little effect on the old master's injuries."

"Very unlikely..." Jiang Hong tapped his knuckles lightly on the table, a hint of disappointment flashing in his eyes.

The subordinate swallowed hard, lowering his voice even further: "However, during our examination, we detected vital signs in the fetus."

"What?!"

Jiang Hong suddenly stood up, his calm expression finally shattered.

"A fetus? Are you sure you're not mistaken?"

"A martial artist is pregnant?! How is that possible?!"

------

On the other side, in a medical room under close surveillance.

"Unbelievable! A female warrior is pregnant!"

"This is the first time in three hundred years! The ironclad rule of martial arts dying out has been broken just like that?"

"Could this be... the effect of the 'Nine-Turn Life-Extending Lotus'? It forcibly reverses the physiological limitations of martial artists?"

A group of top experts were gathered around a medical examination report, discussing it animatedly.

Amidst endless speculation, on the hospital bed under the camera's view, Luo Bingyan's eyelashes trembled slightly as she slowly opened her eyes.

The first thing she saw when she woke up was Luo Quan standing guard by her bedside.

"Father……"

"Father, I have obtained the 'Nine-Turn Life-Extending Lotus'. I have not disgraced the family."

As she spoke, she struggled to get up.

"Don't move, don't get up!" Luo Quan quickly pressed his daughter down, his tone more concerned than ever before. "Rest well."

Looking at her father's gentle face, Luo Bingyan felt somewhat uncomfortable.

My father had never cared for me like this before, from childhood to adulthood.

All he ever cared about was his own worth.

So, it was because he obtained the "Nine-Turn Life-Extending Lotus" that its value was proven?

However, Luo Quan's joy went far beyond that.

"Bingyan, I have great news for you!" Luo Quan's voice was filled with excitement, "You're pregnant!"

A child born to a martial artist...

This is an unprecedented miracle in the history of human martial arts! It deserves to be recorded in history!

What kind of revolutionary changes will this child's future bring to all of humanity? Nobody knows!

But it is foreseeable that once this child is born, it will attract worldwide attention!

And the Luo family will rise to great heights because of this!

"Pregnant?"

Luo Bingyan was stunned.

Suddenly, the words of that stranger from two months ago flashed through my mind—"You don't need to give me this money... Keep it to raise our child..."

This... how is this possible!

The girl gently stroked her stomach, momentarily stunned.

original……

Everything he said was true...

Luo Bingyan regretted not asking the other person's name.

Who is the child's father?

Where should I go to find him?

------

The Su family.

"A month has passed, my dear, shouldn't you be out of the secret realm by now?"

"Honestly... he didn't even send a message."

Su Lingling was wearing a cool sundress and was scrolling through her phone listlessly.

Two long, fair legs were draped over the coffee table.

The next second, Lin Qingxue suddenly sent a message.

[Lingling, has Yang Xian messaged you?]

Su Lingling pursed her lips and quickly typed a reply.

Not yet. I guess he's enjoying some alone time with Jiang Mengyun.

A pang of sadness welled up inside her.

Given Jiang Mengyun's assertive personality, she must be keeping a close eye on Yang Xian.

Trying to snatch a man away from that second young lady will be no easy feat...

My phone vibrated again.

However, I couldn't find Yang Xian's alias on the list of those returning from the secret realm...

"What?!"

Su Lingling suddenly sat up from the sofa, her lazy expression vanishing instantly.

------

The Jiang family home, Jiang Mengyun's boudoir.

The girl was standing in front of a huge dressing mirror, holding a pure white dress in her left hand and a sexy black halter-neck mini dress in her right hand, her face full of hesitation.

"Which one will Yang Xian prefer...?"

"I'm so conflicted!"

Immediately afterward, a phone notification sound interrupted her thoughts.

Jiang Mengyun picked it up and looked at it, her delicate eyebrows furrowing slightly.

"Su Lingling? Why is that little vixen messaging me?"

When she saw the message, her expression changed drastically.

What?

Yang Xian didn't come back?

She immediately pulled out her contacts and called Jiang Yu.

Just then...

"Knock knock".

A knock came at the door.

Jiang Yu's voice came from outside the door.

"Second sister, it's me, I'm right outside."

"Come in."

Jiang Yu pushed open the door and entered.

Upon entering, his knees buckled, and he knelt straight down on the ground.

"I'm sorry, second sister..."

"I failed to protect my brother-in-law."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Mengyun's heart clenched painfully, the dress slipped from her hand, and she collapsed to the ground.

After a long while, she finally stood up:

"What exactly happened?"

"What happened to you in the secret realm?!"

With his head down, Jiang Yu recounted everything that had happened on the summit of the snow-capped mountain in the simplest language possible.

In the end...

"Second sister, I swear on my life, your husband... he's definitely still alive!"

"I brought back the demonic beast he had contracted in the secret realm."

"If the contracted beast is alright, then the master will definitely be alright!"

------

Chengwu University.

Bai Chuyi was wearing a plain white training uniform and had just finished her morning training.

Sweat soaked the black hair on her forehead, and the girl's cheeks were flushed with a healthy blush.

She came to the pavilion as usual and raised the "love knot" on her wrist.

Communicating with Yang Xian has become a daily habit for her.

"Da Yang, when did you come out of the secret realm?"

The girl whispered to the love knot.

Soon, the small love knot began to emit a soft glow.

A voice that only she could hear slowly resounded in her heart.

"It'll be soon..."
