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

Soon the day arrived for entering the secret realm.

The entrance to the secret realm.

"Young Yang, remember, safety is the top priority. Don't try to be a hero."

"When it comes to cooperation, if we can talk it out, great; if we can't reach an agreement, that's okay too. Never force yourself, and definitely don't put yourself at risk!"

"You are now the darling of our nation, and we cannot afford any mishaps, understand?"

Shen Qingtong stood in front of Yang Xian, giving him serious instructions.

Yang Xian nodded helplessly: "General Shen, I really understand! You've repeated that sentence at least ten times since we set off."

"Ahem." Shen Qingtong coughed awkwardly, his old face slightly red. "As you get older, you can't help but become a bit of a nag."

Mo Chou and the guards standing to the side were all dumbfounded.

Is this still the same Shen Qingtong, the iron-blooded general they remember, who is decisive and whose gaze can frighten even a sixth-realm martial artist to the point of weakness?

Mo Chou had little contact with Shen Qingtong, but the latter's reputation was legendary.

At the military headquarters, General Shen was always concise in his meetings, not bothering to say a single extra word, and exuded a cold aura that kept strangers at bay.

But now, he actually shows this nagging and sentimental side to Yang Xian?

He's just like a worried old father!

"Don't worry, we have Captain Mo and his elite team with us."

Yang Xian pointed to a warm jade pendant hanging at his waist, "And this 'protective pendant' you gave me, I think it would be difficult for anything to happen to me."

Shen Qingtong forced this jade pendant on him, saying it could withstand ten full-force attacks from a sixth-realm expert.

In this secret realm where only fifth-realm monsters can appear at most, this thing is simply a dimensional reduction attack, no different from having an invincible cheat.

Upon hearing this, Shen Qingtong's gaze swept over Mo Chou and the team members behind him.

"Mo Chou!"

"Here!" Mo Chou immediately stood at attention, his back ramrod straight.

"My only order is to protect Comrade Yang Xian's safety at all costs! If he loses even a single hair, I will hold you all accountable!"

"Yes!" Mo Chou and his teammates shouted in unison.

"Mission accomplished!!"

------

Without further delay, the group entered the distorted portal of light one by one.

The group embarked on their journey to the Boundary Wolf Tribe.

"Ling, you said before that you came back this time to do something very important."

"What could be so important?"

Walking down the street, Yang Xian suddenly remembered something and asked curiously.

I had asked him before when we were at home, but the little guy was very tight-lipped and wouldn't tell me.

They insisted on telling me after they entered the secret realm.

Ling stopped in her tracks, two adorable blushes rising on her fair face.

She lowered her head, her small hands nervously twisting together: "I...I want to go back and marry my master!"

"Get...get married?!"

"Yes!" Ling nodded emphatically, her tone incredibly firm: "If my sister can marry Master, I want to too!"

"Okay, okay!" Feng on the other side immediately chimed in happily, rushing over to hug Yang Xian's other arm.

"Now we're both Master's wives! We can sleep together and play together!"

Mo Chou and his guards, who were walking behind, were all petrified.

This was the first time they had ever heard of such a novel thing.

marriage?

Am I right?

Marry your contracted beast?

This is so exciting!

I'm good!

Did we hear something we shouldn't have heard?

So Comrade Yang Xian... likes this kind of thing?

"Please don't misunderstand!"

Mo Chou reacted the fastest, quickly explaining for Yang Xian: "Our trip to discuss cooperation with the Boundary Wolf Clan this time is a little different from any previous diplomatic mission, as it includes an additional... marriage arrangement."

"What? A marriage alliance?" one of the team members exclaimed in a low voice.

"That's right." Mo Chou said with a pained expression.

"Brother Yang is sacrificing himself for our country and for the peace between our two races, by marrying the two young masters of the Boundary Wolf Clan."

"Only in this way can our cooperative relationship with the Boundary Wolf Clan be as solid as a rock, don't you think, Brother Yang?"

So that's how it is!

The members of the guard team instantly realized what was happening, and their eyes were filled with reverence as they looked at Yang Xian's back.

They started wildly imagining things.

Look at what a great sacrifice! For the future of the country, Comrade Yang Xian did not hesitate to sacrifice his personal happiness, and even crossed the barriers between species!

What magnanimity and vision this is! We mere mortals were actually trying to judge him with such despicable thoughts just now; we deserve to die!

Yang Xian was completely stunned by Mo Chou's absurd explanation.

God is sacrificing himself for the country!

With your imagination, it's a waste that you're not writing novels!

On the other side, the two sisters looked at Yang Xian expectantly, seemingly waiting for his answer.

"Captain Mo's words have a certain element to them."

Yang Xian patted the heads of the two girls one by one, a gentle look on his face:

"But I hope you understand that Feng and Ling are not tools for marriage alliances, nor are they bargaining chips to consolidate cooperation."

"They are my family."

As soon as he finished speaking, Feng's fluffy wolf ears suddenly stood up high, and his eyes gleamed.

"Master, so that's what you were thinking!" She pounced on him again, hugging Yang Xian's arm tightly, her silver tail wagging excitedly behind her.

Very good!

Our owner truly cares about us!

We are the best couple in the world!

Although Ling didn't say anything, she quietly snuggled up to him, resting her little head gently on Yang Xian's shoulder, her movements full of dependence and reassurance.

"..."

Seeing this heartwarming scene, Mo Chou and his guards felt like they had been force-fed a mouthful of dog food (a Chinese slang term for witnessing public displays of affection).

hateful!

The stench of love!

As a martial artist, I cannot stand this!

------

Several hours later, the group finally arrived at the new territory of the Boundary Wolf Clan.

Because of the previous volcanic eruption, the volcano has been completely reduced to scorched earth and is no longer suitable for habitation.

Yun then led the surviving members of her tribe to migrate to this lush and fertile valley.

As soon as they approached the entrance to the valley, several loud wolf howls rang out.

"Awooo—"

"Our benefactor has returned! Our benefactor has returned with the two young masters!"

Mo Chou couldn't understand the beast language, so his hand instinctively went to the hilt of the knife at his waist, and his whole body tensed up.

Yang Xian held his hand and smiled easily: "Don't be nervous, Captain Mo, they're welcoming us."

As soon as he finished speaking, less than ten seconds later, the wolf pack automatically parted to make way, and a tall figure slowly walked out from it.

It was Yun, the patriarch of the Boundary Wolf Clan.

"Mother!"

Feng and Ling ran happily toward their mother.

"Good girl." Yun affectionately rubbed her two daughters' cheeks.

Yang Xian also came up and greeted her naturally: "Mom, we're here to discuss cooperation, and we brought Feng and Ling back to see you while we were at it."

He gave a brief introduction to both parties.

Yun's gaze swept over Mo Chou and the others, and she nodded:

"Yes, you must be tired from your long journey. I have already arranged for someone to prepare a place for you to rest."

"There's no rush to cooperate; we can discuss it later."

"I'll talk to my two daughters first."
