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

Uh... what you're saying is actually true.

Yang Xian was speechless.

Logically speaking, there's nothing wrong with couples showing their bodies only to each other.

But coming from the mouth of a girl who had just taken human form, looked only sixteen or seventeen years old, and had a pair of furry wolf ears, it just sounded strange...

Especially since she calls herself "Dad".

What is this?

"What beautiful clothes!"

On the bed, Feng was filled with curiosity about this novel "clothes".

She held it in her hands, turning it over and over, and awkwardly tried to put it on herself, imitating how Yang Xian usually dressed.

"Dad, look! I'm all dressed!"

Feng rolled around on the animal skin bed, looking for praise.

The girl tucked her two long legs into the sleeves of her maid outfit.

She used the main part of the dress as a shawl, hanging it loosely around her neck.

As for the white apron, it was being held atop her head, with two fluffy wolf ears peeking out from the gaps in the apron's straps, twitching back and forth.

Yang Xian sighed, "Uh...you might...have some misunderstanding about how clothes are constructed."

"Yeah?"

Feng looked down at himself, then at Yang Xian's clothes, and tilted his head. "But I see that's how you usually dress, Dad. You put your legs in first, then your head."

Yang Xian: "..."

I was speechless.

He sighed, stepped forward, and took the apron off Feng's head.

"Come, I'll teach you."

"This is where you can put your arm in."

Yang Xian picked up the sleeve of the skirt and patiently explained it to her.

"Oh, oh!" Feng nodded, seemingly understanding but not quite.

"Then put your head through here..."

"Uh-huh!"

"A skirt is worn on the lower body, not a cape..."

With Yang Xian's patient guidance, Feng finally managed to put on the maid outfit properly.

It's normal to put your clothes on backwards the first time you dress yourself.

But this reversal is just too outrageous...

"Dad, is this the right thing to do?"

Feng twirled around again, her skirt swaying gently with her movements.

The black and white short skirt perfectly hugged the girl's budding curves, while white lace trim on the hem and cuffs added a touch of cuteness.

Its wolf ears twitched occasionally, and its silver tail swayed back and forth in unison.

Pure, cute, yet with a touch of wildness unique to beast girls.

Upon seeing this, Yang Xian felt his heart skip a beat.

"Cough..." He forcibly looked away, "You're wearing...you're wearing the right clothes."

This is so cute...

Which man could resist that?

"Great!" Feng jumped up with joy.

She took a step forward, getting close to Yang Xian, her clear blue eyes gazing at him brightly.

"Dad, I've become human!"

"Shouldn't you keep your promise to me?"

"A promise?" Yang Xian was taken aback. "What promise?"

"It's...it's that!" Feng's cheeks flushed slightly, and her voice lowered. "You said I could do that kind of thing with you, like Teacher Zhou did..."

"Let me think..."

"What was Teacher Zhou's first step...?"

"That's right! That's how it is!"

The girl's eyes suddenly lit up, as if she had finally remembered the key step.

The next second, she didn't hesitate to stretch out her arms, hug Yang Xian's neck, and tilt her head slightly.

Soft lips were pressed directly onto Yang Xian's lips.

------

at the same time.

Blue Star, Luo Family.

"Ice Beauty!"

The heavy metal door of the training room was suddenly pushed open.

Luo Quan strode in, a hint of anger on his face.

"Why did you sneak into the training room? Didn't I tell you to get some rest?"

Upon hearing this, Luo Bingyan sheathed her sword and silently lowered her head.

"I'm sorry, Father... I'm really not used to staying in bed all the time."

"Appropriate daily training is necessary; that's what you taught me before..."

"That's enough!"

Luo Quan interrupted her sharply, his face looking rather unpleasant.

He seemed quite dissatisfied with his daughter's "disobedience".

But he quickly suppressed his anger and forced out what he thought was a gentle smile.

"Bingyan, things are different now." Luo Quan walked up to his daughter, deliberately slowing his speech.

"You are now pregnant, and you are the greatest contributor to our Luo family."

"Just rest well in bed and give birth to the baby safely."

"You don't need to worry about anything else."

Luo Bingyan clearly felt somewhat uncomfortable with this sudden, even overdue, concern.

She just stood there silently, without saying a word.

In her memory, her father had never spoken to her in that tone.

From childhood to adulthood, whenever she slacked off in training, she would be met with Luo Quan's merciless reprimands, or even confinement.

The reason is simple: Luo Bingyan is a born martial artist, and the martial arts lineage is dying out.

For martial arts families that value bloodline inheritance, she is a "defective product" who cannot continue the family line, and naturally she cannot enjoy the treatment that normal children should have.

Seeing that his daughter was not speaking, Luo Quan thought she was being difficult, and his smile became even more "amiable".

"Bingyan, go back and rest. I know it's a bit boring to stay in bed all the time, okay?"

"Tell me what you want to do, what you want to eat, or what your hobbies are!"

"I'll order the servants to prepare it for you right away! Whatever you want, Daddy will give it to you!"

Hobbies?

Luo Bingyan's body stiffened slightly.

What are her hobbies and interests?

No.

Does she have any close friends?

nor.

Through more than a decade of monotonous training, Luo Bingyan had long since developed a habit.

Whenever there is no mission, I will seize every opportunity to train.

It's all about training, nothing but training.

Aside from training and missions, she knew nothing and had nothing.

She worked so hard just to gain her father's unattainable recognition and love.

Now, a sudden pregnancy has given her everything she's always dreamed of.

Yet all of this seems so unreal, so illusory.

That's how humans are. When something they desperately want but can't have suddenly becomes readily available, they feel a sense of confusion and emptiness.

"I...I don't know."

Luo Bingyan finally shook her head gently.

After a long while, Luo Quan's smile finally crumbled, and his last bit of patience was worn away.

"Then you should go back to your room and stay there!"

"Without my order, you are not to step out of this room again!"

Do you know how important you are right now?

"So many people are waiting for you to give birth to this child! It's not just our Luo family! The whole world is watching!"
