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

In the living room.

"Qingxue, you just said you're not in a good position to drink either..."

"So you're pregnant too?"

Su Lingling quietly leaned close to Lin Qingxue's ear and asked in a voice only the two of them could hear.

That's not right!

My mother clearly said that Yang Xian's special constitution only allows ordinary women to get pregnant.

Qingxue only recently embarked on the path of martial arts and became a first-level martial artist!

Could it be that Yang Xian's abilities are even comparable to those of female martial artists...?

A blush rose on Lin Qingxue's fair cheeks as she nodded gently in response to her best friend's probing gaze.

"Um."

Upon receiving a positive answer, Su Lingling was completely stunned.

It seems I underestimated my man!

He can get ordinary people pregnant, and even female martial artists can!

He is probably the only one in the world who can break the "curse" that has prevented martial artists from having children for three hundred years.

Meanwhile, at the dining table, the two sisters, Feng and Ling, presented a completely different scene.

"It smells so good..."

The two of them lay on the edge of the table, their purple wolf ears twitching involuntarily, their eyes blinking as they stared intently at the plates of colorful, fragrant, and delicious dishes in front of them.

"Teacher Zhou, when can we eat?" Feng asked, a spoon dangling from his hand, his wolf tail flailing restlessly behind him. "How about we sneak a bite? Just one bite, we definitely won't get caught!"

In the world of the secret realm, they had never seen so many exquisite human foods.

Following my master was definitely the right choice!

"I want to eat it too," Ling whispered in agreement, her mouth practically watering.

Zhou Xiyan held down their restless hands and gently shook her head: "No rush, let's wait a bit longer. We can only start eating after all the elders have arrived."

Meanwhile, Bai Chuyi's stomach rumbled at an inopportune moment.

She looked at the table full of food in front of her, and although she was incredibly tempted, she still shook her head and forced herself to look away, patiently waiting.

Yang Xian noticed her little actions and felt a little sorry for her.

Xiao Bai has a special constitution and consumes a lot of energy; it wouldn't be good for her to get sick from starvation.

"Xiaobai, how about I get you a chicken leg? You can have something to eat first," Yang Xian suggested in a low voice.

"No, Da Yang." Bai Chuyi stubbornly shook her head. "We need to wait for Uncle and Aunt to come together."

Yang Xian looked up at the kitchen.

Why haven't Mom and Dad come out yet?

What are they whispering about inside?

Could they have been scared out of their wits by the news about "three pregnant women"?

The next second, Yang Jianguo and Chen Yufen finally came out of the kitchen, holding two bottles of room temperature drinks.

"Sorry, sorry to have kept you all waiting." Yang Jianguo had a slightly stiff smile on his face. "Eat up, everyone, start eating, don't be shy!"

Chen Yufen remained silent, simply placing the drinks on the table.

As Yang Jianguo finished speaking, everyone finally picked up their chopsticks.

The atmosphere at the dinner table quickly became lively.

After taking only a few bites, Yang Jianguo put down his chopsticks and turned his gaze to his son.

"Yang Xian, I just heard from your mother that three girls are pregnant. How many months along are they?"

Yang Xian thought his father would first ask if the child was his, but he didn't expect his father to skip to this step.

He nodded, introduced the three of them to his father, and answered truthfully, "Yes. Mengyun and Lingling are about two months old, and Qingxue is just over a month old."

"Um."

Yang Jianguo nodded, his expression growing increasingly serious.

"Now that we have a child, I think it's time to put the wedding on the agenda."

As he spoke, his gaze turned to Jiang Mengyun, Su Lingling, and Lin Qingxue respectively.

"According to your family's customs, how much is the bride price...? Uncle, I'd like to prepare in advance."

The moment those words were spoken, the atmosphere at the dinner table instantly froze again.

Chen Yufen also stopped eating and looked nervously at the three girls, her ears perked up.

Su Lingling and Lin Qingxue exchanged a glance, both pondering how to respond.

Lin Qingxue came from an ordinary family, so she naturally didn't have much of a concept of this.

Although Su Lingling's family was wealthy, she knew that Yang Xian's family was of modest means, and she was thinking of a suitable number to offer.

While the two of them were still thinking, Jiang Mengyun spoke first, her tone casual:

"Not many, only eighty-eight million eight hundred and eighty-eight thousand!"

"Clatter!"

The chopsticks in Chen Yufen's hand fell to the ground with a crisp sound.

The living room was deathly silent.

All eyes were immediately drawn to Jiang Mengyun's calm and composed face.

Chen Yufen's face turned pale, her lips trembled, and her mind was buzzing.

Eight...eight thousand eight million eight hundred and eighty thousand eight?

Not... many?

This is practically robbery! No, even robbing a bank isn't this fast!

It's over! It's all over!

Those online jokes that specifically target honest people have actually come true for us!

Moreover, the other party's appetite is hundreds of times larger than those described online!

At that moment, Chen Yufen felt like the sky was about to fall.

"More than 80 million...?" Zhou Xiyan raised her eyebrows.

Can you really marry the second daughter of the Jiang family for over 80 million?

It seems that this is the bare minimum the Jiang family can offer.

After all, they are a martial arts family with a history of hundreds of years. Even if the bride price is low, the Jiang family will lose face.

"Teacher Zhou, what is betrothal gift? Can you eat it?" Feng, who was standing next to Zhou Xiyan, tugged at her sleeve curiously and asked in a low voice.

Zhou Xiyan patiently explained in a low voice: "Dowry is a monetary gift or present given by the groom's family to the bride's family in marriage to express their sincerity."

Feng seemed to understand but not quite, but she suddenly remembered the pill her master had used to heal her mother's injuries.

So that was the bride price!

That pill must be extremely precious to heal my mother's injury so quickly!

Our owner is so good to us.

On the other side, Yang Jianguo was also completely stunned; he felt his heart pounding.

broken……

Could it be that the child's mother was right?

Is this really a trap?

He swallowed hard, his voice dry as he spoke, "This...this number, isn't it...a bit too much?"

Seeing the reaction of Yang Xian's parents, Jiang Mengyun smiled gently and reassured them, "Uncle, don't be nervous. Actually, a token gift is enough. Money isn't important."

Upon hearing this, Yang Jianguo and Chen Yufen breathed a sigh of relief.

However, before she could even finish catching her breath, Jiang Mengyun continued:

"Oh, right, there's one more."

"According to our Jiang family tradition, a daughter must provide a dowry when she gets married."

"Not much, just..."

"Eight hundred and eighty million!"
