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

"That's the first child ever born to a martial artist!"

"The future of the Luo family, the future of humanity, rests entirely on your shoulders!"

"Bingyan, you absolutely, absolutely must not disappoint me..."

Luo Quan was somewhat agitated, pacing back and forth in the training room.

Hearing those impassioned words, Luo Bingyan lowered her head even further.

It's that kind of talk again...

In her father's eyes, there was only the future of the family; he never truly cared about her as a person!

Luo Bingyan once naively believed that as long as she had a child and could carry on the family line, she would truly receive her father's heartfelt love, just like her younger siblings.

It seems she was just overthinking it.

What's the difference between now and before?

It was merely transformed from a training tool for family honor into a breeding tool for family benefit.

This is not the kind of concern she wants at all!

A strange feeling of suffocation made it almost impossible for the girl to breathe.

A sudden thought emerged in her mind for the first time so clearly.

Escape from here...

Escape this cage called "home".

Luo Quan was still lost in his own daydreams about the bright future, completely oblivious to his daughter's unusual behavior.

"A child conceived from rare and precious natural resources—this is something that will go down in history!"

"And you, Luo Bingyan, are the mother of that child! You are the one who made history!"

A child conceived from rare and precious materials?

Luo Bingyan gradually came to her senses and asked with some confusion, "Father, what does it mean... a child conceived from rare and precious herbs?"

Shouldn't the reason I was able to get pregnant be because I had a one-night stand with that random man I met two months ago?

How did it get involved with rare and precious herbs again?

"This... it's normal that you don't know." Luo Quan waved his hand:

"According to insiders, you were already in a deep coma when you absorbed that 'Nine-Turn Life-Sustaining Lotus'."

"Therefore, we speculate that the child in your womb is the crystallization of life formed within you by the immense life essence of the 'Nine-Turn Life-Sustaining Lotus'!"

So that's what they thought.

Luo Bingyan was completely stunned, then slowly spoke:

"But...but the child's father is someone else..."

------

the next day.

Yang Xian slowly opened his eyes.

[Ding! Detected that the host has successfully mated with a member of the opposite sex, making an outstanding contribution to the continuation of humanity!]

[Congratulations, host! You have successfully bound yourself to the character: Feng!]

[Blessings and rewards are being distributed...]

[Reward 1: Host's cultivation level has been raised to the early stage of the third realm!]

[Reward 2: Host's appearance increases by 1%, slightly increasing attractiveness to the opposite sex!]

[Reward 3: Gain a large amount of Emotion Points! +2000 points!]

[Current total points: 16000!]

Have you reached the third realm?

Unbeknownst to him, he had grown from a novice first-realm martial artist to a third-realm martial artist who could stand alone.

This feeling is actually not bad.

He moved his body slightly and could clearly feel the energy flowing through his body, which was more powerful than before.

Just then, the howling of the Boundary Wolf came from outside the stone house, seemingly urging the bride and groom to get up.

The person in his arms stirred, their furry wolf ears rubbing against his chin.

Feng also woke up. She opened her pure blue eyes and stared unblinkingly at Yang Xian's face.

"My dear husband, I want a hug."

She changed her address, her voice soft and sweet, carrying the languidness of someone who had just woken up.

Xianggong?

Yang Xian's heart skipped a beat; the change in address was too sudden.

"Um, is there anything wrong with your body?" he asked somewhat awkwardly.

"uncomfortable?"

Feng blinked, then carefully considered the sensation, and shook his head. "No! On the contrary, Feng feels very comfortable! So that's what Teacher Zhou felt back then... Things between husband and wife are so interesting!"

As she spoke, she snuggled closer to Yang Xian, her tone full of curiosity and satisfaction.

"Husband, is Teacher Zhou also your wife?"

"Well... that will be the case in the future," Yang Xian readily admitted.

It was bound to happen sooner or later, and there was no need to deny it.

The wolf outside urged again, its voice tinged with urgency.

"Alright, there will be plenty of opportunities to hug later."

Yang Xian gently patted Feng on the back, "Let's go out first, don't keep Mom waiting."

"Hmm." Feng obediently prepared to get up, but then stopped and looked at him with some distress.

"But should I meet her in human form, or in my previous form?"

Hmm, that's a good question.

Yang Xian pondered for a moment.

From the perspective of avoiding trouble, using the form of the Boundary Wolf is of course the best option, since that's the form her mother is familiar with.

But Feng will eventually have to go back to live on Earth with me; I can't keep showing myself as a wolf forever.

Why not take this opportunity to let her mother get used to it first?

"Let's use human form."

Yang Xian made a decision.

He took out the black leather shoes that matched the maid outfit from the system space.

"Here, let me help you put on your shoes. From now on, you'll have to learn to put them on by yourself."

Yang Xian knelt down beside the bed and grabbed Feng's fair and delicate feet.

Her feet were delicate, with smooth skin and cute, rounded toes.

Yang Xian carefully supported her heels and gently slipped her small feet into the shoes.

The process was slow, with an indescribable awkwardness.

Feng sat on the bed, looking down at Yang Xian who was carefully putting on his shoes. His profile was clearly defined in the morning light.

She felt something brewing inside her, a warm and comforting feeling.

"My husband, you are so gentle and considerate."

Feng said softly, "Back on Earth, you must be very popular with other women, right?"

Yang Xian paused in his movements.

He thought Feng would be like the girls on Blue Star, starting to ask questions, getting jealous, and even making unreasonable demands.

"Ah... I guess so," he mumbled in response.

However, Feng simply swung his legs, which were clad in new shoes, and laughed, seemingly unconcerned.

"However, they are different from me." There was a hint of pride in the girl's tone.

"I have a soul connection with my husband."

"They don't!"

From then on, Zhou Xiyan's team gained another powerful member.

------

Yang Xian took Feng, in his "human form," to see Yun and explained the situation to her.

After a long time, Yun finally accepted this fact:

"Since we're going to live in the human world in the future, it's naturally best to become human."

"As long as it can be changed back later, that's fine."

"Anytime is fine!" Yang Xian breathed a sigh of relief. "Then, could you open the passage to the small world right now so we can return to the secret realm?"

He was already eager to return to Earth.

To everyone's surprise, Yun shook her head. "Not yet."

Yang Xian was taken aback: "Why?"

Yun spoke lazily:

"I cannot open the passage at the moment."

"If you really want to get out, maybe..."

"We'll have to wait another month!"
