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

"She is my contracted beast."

"It's the silver wolf who fell into the crater with me back then, the one you've met before."

Yang Xian was already prepared and introduced the situation calmly.

"What?!"

The pupils of Jiang Yu and the other two suddenly contracted.

Contract Beast?

A humanoid contract beast?

"It's extremely rare for a demon beast to transform into human form..."

Jiang Yu took off his protective suit. "As far as I know, only demonic beasts with strength at the eighth realm or above can do this."

He didn't make any definitive statements, but his meaning was quite clear.

Eight Realms of Monsters.

What does that mean?

Looking across the entire Dragon Kingdom, experts at the Eighth Realm are extremely rare, each one a powerful figure who commands a region.

How could an eighth-realm demon beast possibly sign a contract with a third-realm martial artist?

Isn't this lowering one's status?

"I'm not entirely sure of the specific reason either."

Yang Xian shrugged. "However, she's only at the third realm right now."

He briefly recounted his experience of falling into the small world and being sent back by Feng's mother.

"Anyway, when I saw her again, she looked like this."

These words left the three siblings of the Jiang family looking at each other in bewilderment.

He fell into the crater, but not only did he not die, he also entered a mysterious little world, and in the end, the contracted beast even transformed into human form?

This experience is more bizarre than a novel.

Jiang Hai thought to himself, "Isn't my brother-in-law's luck just too incredible?"

Why can't I have such a good opportunity?

However, they couldn't find any reason to refute it.

After all, Yang Xian's ability to survive such a desperate situation was the greatest miracle in itself.

Yang Xian patted Jiang Yu on the shoulder.

"Alright, we shouldn't stay here any longer. Let's leave the secret realm first."

------

The exit of the secret realm leads to a military camp.

As soon as Yang Xian and the others came out, they saw a familiar face.

"Brother Yang Xian! You're finally back!" Mo Chou rushed over, his face beaming with genuine joy.

"Captain Mo." Yang Xian smiled as well, which was considered a greeting.

Then, he took out an exquisite wooden box from his bag and handed it over.

"Brother Mo, could you please hand this to Captain Gao personally?"

The box contained the "Nine-Aperture Exquisite Grass" that he had won in the exhibition match.

This item can cleanse the marrow and reshape the bones; its most crucial effect is repairing the damaged foundation of martial arts.

For Yang Xian, this thing was of little use, and he would rather give it to someone who needed it more.

It would be a great pity if a soldier like Gao Nianwen, who dared to sacrifice and dedicate himself, had his path in martial arts cut off.

If you deliver it yourself, he probably won't accept it.

However, the effect is different when it is handed over by someone else.

At least the mental burden will be less.

Mo Chou took the box, weighed it in his hand, and asked curiously, "What's this?"

"It's just a small gift, nothing to mention," Yang Xian said casually, waving his hand.

The time that follows.

Mo Chou took Yang Xian to complete the formalities, retrieve his personal belongings stored here, and take a detailed statement.

The military needs to clearly document all his experiences in the secret realm, especially what happened during the days he was missing.

Watching Yang Xian being taken away, Jiang Hai leaned closer to Jiang Yu and said, "Jiang Yu, we've found brother-in-law, but how are we going to tell Miss Jiang now?"

They were in the middle of nowhere, with no cell phone signal, so they couldn't send a message back to the Jiang family in Nanhai City.

Jiang Yu glanced at him and said calmly:

"We don't need to contact you."

"Once the military region confirms my brother-in-law's safety, they will naturally report the news as soon as possible."

------

Nanhai City, core area.

Inside the Jiang family manor, the grass is lush and green, and the flowers are in full bloom.

Zhou Xiyan was taking Ling for a walk in the garden.

"Teacher Zhou, when will Dad and my sister be back?"

Ling raised her little head, her fluffy tail sweeping the ground idly.

In the past few days, she has lost count of how many times she has asked the same question.

"It'll be soon, it'll be soon..." Zhou Xiyan comforted softly, but a silent sigh escaped her lips.

During the days that Yang Xian was missing, Ling was kept at the Jiang family's house.

As Yang Xian's contracted beast, her condition is the most direct basis for judging whether Yang Xian is alive or dead.

However, the little wolf happens to be an extremely rare space-type demon beast, and ordinary methods simply cannot contain her.

The little guy was new to Earth for the first time and was extremely wary of everyone except Yang Xian.

Keeping Ling safe and sound in the Jiang family without harming her is almost an impossible task.

Zhou Xiyan is the only person Ling trusts besides Yang Xian and Feng.

So, she temporarily moved into the Jiang family home under the pretext of "taking care of Ling".

As for Ye Huairou, he had already returned to Canglan University several days ago to report on the relevant matters of this trip to the secret realm.

……

On a terrace bench not far away, Jiang Mengyun sipped a cup of black tea and quietly watched the two figures in the garden.

"Zhou Xiyan..."

"Another vixen!"

She never imagined that one day she would agree to let one of her love rivals live in her house.

You bastard Yang Xian!

What promises did you make to me back then?

I've only been in the secret realm for a few days, how come I've brought back another woman?

After several days of investigation, Jiang Mengyun has thoroughly investigated Zhou Xiyan's background.

A brilliant freshman at Chengwu University and one of the contemporary successors of the Shuiyue Sect.

Most importantly... she's Zhou Xier's older sister!

Jiang Mengyun remembered clearly that before Yang Xian entered the secret realm, he had some ambiguous relationship with that girl named Zhou Xier.

So, once they entered the secret realm, they weren't even going to let the older sister go?

"What's wrong?"

"Trying to play both sisters?"

"You have pretty discerning tastes, don't you?"

Jiang Mengyun grew angrier the more she thought about it, and she gripped the teacup tighter and tighter.

Just then, the cell phone on the table suddenly rang.

She answered the phone somewhat impatiently.

"Feed?"

A respectful voice came from the other end of the phone: "Second Miss, we just received a message from the military region..."

"Speak quickly!"

"Yes! Mr. Yang Xian...he's back!"

"What?!" Jiang Mengyun suddenly stood up from her chair.

"Yang Xian is back?"
