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

"Auntie, it's not really convenient for me to drink this."

Su Lingling immediately followed, a sweet smile on her face.

Those bright eyes looked straight at Zhou Xiyan, with an undisguised smugness in them.

There was a hint of provocation and a touch of smugness in his eyes.

Hmph, so what if they're top students at Canglan University?

What about the later stages of the Third Realm?

I have Yang Xian's child, do you?

However, Zhou Xiyan simply sat there calmly, her gentle, married face showing no emotion whatsoever.

This disregard made Su Lingling feel like she had punched cotton, leaving her with an indescribable sense of frustration.

"Auntie, I... I can't either." Lin Qingxue's voice was very soft, with a hint of embarrassment, but she still added in a low voice.

After listening to the three people's words, Chen Yufen's hand holding the beverage bottle began to tremble slightly.

Pregnant?

Three still?!

I'm good!

What kind of women has Yang Xian been seeing outside?!

Chen Yufen's first reaction was not surprise, but horror.

She felt that her son had been completely ruined by those seemingly beautiful but actually scheming women!

Just then, Yang Xian came out of the kitchen carrying two steaming dishes. "There's only one dish left to cook, but it'll be ready soon. Everyone, please wait a little longer."

He didn't notice his mother's change in expression at all. After putting the dishes on the table, he turned around and went back to the kitchen.

After a moment, Chen Yufen finally came to her senses.

She put down her drink, forcing a smile that looked more like a grimace. "There are other room-temperature drinks in the kitchen, I'll go get them for you!"

After saying that, she rushed into the kitchen as if fleeing.

As soon as they entered the kitchen, Chen Yufen grabbed Yang Xian's arm and lowered her voice, "Son, Mom has something to tell you!"

Yang Xian was staring at the last dish in the pot, completely bewildered by his mother's sudden action.

"Mom, what's wrong?"

Yang Jianguo, who had just turned off the stove, couldn't help but lean closer to listen when he heard his wife's mysterious voice.

What's going on? You're acting like you're part of the underground Communist Party.

Chen Yufen, completely ignoring the food, asked Yang Xian, "Son, tell me honestly, do you know that some of your girlfriends are pregnant?"

His tone was filled with disbelief and worry.

Yang Xian paused for a moment, then nodded frankly: "Of course I know. I was planning to talk to you and Dad about this after dinner."

"I knew you'd still bring it home!" Chen Yufen's voice rose instantly, then abruptly fell back down.

"Are you stupid?!"

"There are too many bad women these days, it's on the news every day, they specifically target honest guys like you!"

"They might just be looking for you to be their sucker, waiting to leech off you!"

"So you have to be careful when choosing a woman, don't be fooled by their sweet talk!"

Looking at his mother's slightly exaggerated expression, Yang Xian felt both amused and exasperated.

He sighed helplessly and gently patted his mother's hand:

"Mom, don't worry!"

"The child is mine!"

"I'll explain it to you properly later!"

After saying that, Yang Xian took the last dish and walked out of the kitchen again.

"Wait... Sigh! You child!" Chen Yufen tried to stop him, but couldn't. She could only watch helplessly as her son's figure disappeared through the kitchen doorway.

That brat!

Even at this point, you're still using such a low-level lie to fool your mom!

How could a martial artist possibly have children?

It seems that Yang Xian has truly been bewitched by those vixens outside, losing even his basic judgment!

Chen Yufen felt increasingly uneasy, as if something bad was about to happen.

"Alright, stop being so paranoid," Yang Jianguo said, washing the spatula.

"Although my son is a martial artist now, he was just an ordinary person before he embarked on the path of martial arts, and he still had the ability to reproduce back then."

"Maybe the child in their belly really is Yang Xian's."

Yang Jianguo's meaning was very clear: Yang Xian probably got these girls pregnant first, and then by chance, he entered the world of martial arts.

These two things are not contradictory.

After all, in reality, many people leave behind descendants first to fulfill their wishes, and then choose to become martial artists and strive for a future.

"Even so, I'm still a little worried!" Chen Yufen's expression didn't improve after hearing her husband's words. "Old Yang, do you think this could be a trap set by those girls for our son?"

Yang Jianguo paused in taking off his apron: "What trap?"

"Think about it..." Chen Yufen frowned, various online news articles flashing through her mind:

"They first had children with Yang Xian, and then they tried to trick him into becoming a martial artist."

"Martial arts are so dangerous. What if one day... one day they die? Wouldn't they be able to inherit our family's wealth without any problem...?"

Her voice was filled with worry about the future, as if she could already see her son being tricked and suffering a tragic end.

"Uh..." Yang Jianguo's lips twitched involuntarily upon hearing his wife's words.

"Where did you learn that from?"

"Is it like that on TV?"

"Is it really that serious?"

Is my wife's imagination a little too vivid?

This is so bizarre!

"Of course there is!" Chen Yufen felt her guess made more and more sense as she spoke.

"Or perhaps! They just want to use their unborn children to demand an exorbitant dowry from Yang Xian!"

"Think about it, once Yang Xian becomes a martial artist, he won't be able to have any more children, so this child is his only one."

"They'll get to decide how much money they want! They're just trying to drain our savings!"

Yang Jianguo was stunned.

How come I never noticed before that my wife is so suspicious?

With that kind of imagination, it would be a waste not to write novels.

Perhaps she's too worried about her son's future; she's become a bit neurotic.

However, Yang Jianguo could understand it to some extent.

Yang Xian is the only son in his family, so it's understandable that his wife would consider things more carefully.

Chen Yufen became increasingly alarmed as she thought about it, feeling her hands and feet grow cold and her whole body begin to tremble slightly.

"No...no way...could Yang Xian really have met a gold digger like those news reports online?"

Little did she know that, putting everything else aside, for the Jiang family alone, money was just a meaningless number.

Dowry is optional.

If you really think about it, the dowry prepared by the Jiang family is probably much more than the Yang family's life savings.

"Alright, alright, we haven't figured things out yet, don't scare yourself." Yang Jianguo patted his wife's shoulder.

"Don't panic. Let's go outside and find out more about the situation first."

"Besides, I trust my son's judgment and abilities."

"Let's go, the food is all on the table, don't keep the children waiting."
