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

"Someone from the Xu family?"

Luo Bingyan suddenly spoke, her clear, cold voice completely calm:

"A family specializing in mental martial arts, adept at using illusions."

"It can easily distract the enemy and create a deception that is so realistic that it is hard to believe."

In just a few simple words, Xu Huanhuan's background was revealed in its entirety.

But Yang Xian didn't want to pay attention to any of this.

He stared at the red-haired girl with pigtails in front of him and cut straight to the point: "What do you want from me? And why are you pretending to be Xia Ming?"

"Of course, I'm here to see if the legendary handsome Yang is really that amazing, able to ignore the curse of 'the extinction of martial arts lineage'."

Xu Huanhuan's answer was completely undisguised; she even winked playfully at Yang Xian.

The next second, she moved closer to Yang Xian, extended a finger, and gently poked his chest:

"How is it?"

"How about... we go book a room now and try it out together?"

Her words were so explicit and bold that she completely disregarded Luo Bingyan standing next to her.

Yang Xian subconsciously took half a step back, creating some distance between them.

He finally understood.

This girl named Xu Huanhuan, like Luo Bingyan, was also sent by a certain family to get close to her.

The mission content is probably similar: take yourself down and then have a baby!

However, this girl's way of doing things is completely different from that of Luo Bingyan, who is clumsy and icy.

"I'm sorry, I'm not a casual person," Yang Xian said calmly.

"Waaah, don't do that!" Seeing that force wouldn't work, Xu Huanhuan clasped her hands together and immediately changed her expression:

Are you angry because I impersonated someone else just now? I apologize to you!

"I know I was wrong, please forgive me~"

"I didn't mean to lie to you."

"My family gave me a death order: you must make me fall in love with me..."

"If I don't complete the task, they'll kick me out of the house..."

Her voice became soft and sweet, sounding full of grievance.

With each sentence Xu Huanhuan spoke, she took a small step closer to Yang Xian, and finally looked up at him with teary eyes, as if she could burst into tears at any moment.

That pitiful look was enough to soften any man's heart.

Yang Xian sighed inwardly.

He reached out and gently pushed away Xu Huanhuan's head that was leaning towards him:

"Don't worry, I'm not blaming you."

"Just because... you specially brought me breakfast."

"Really? That's wonderful!" Xu Huanhuan's tears instantly stopped, and a bright smile immediately bloomed on her face:

"I knew you were the best!"

"Eat these steamed buns before they get cold!"

I believe it!

He believed it!

It seems that it was just a coincidence that they were able to see through my disguise!

Hmph, what's so special about him? I thought he was so great, but I still managed to coax him with just a few words.

It must be because I didn't handle some small details well when I was imitating Xia Ming that he saw through my mistake!

[Ding! Emotional fluctuations detected in the character "Xu Huanhuan"!]

[Expectation: Eat up! Eat up quickly! I don't believe I can't fool you this time! +200 points!]

Upon hearing the system notification, Yang Xian abruptly stopped in his tracks as he picked up the steamed bun.

wrong!

Xu Huanhuan, something's wrong with the system feedback!

Shouldn't she feel relieved or at ease? Why is she "looking forward"?

What are you expecting?

Are you expecting me to eat this breakfast?

Considering what Luo Bingyan just said, the other party is skilled in illusion magic...

Could it be that these steamed buns are fake too?

This little girl really takes the spirit of mischief to the extreme.

Yang Xian remained expressionless as he took a steaming hot bun from the bag.

But instead of eating it himself, he handed it to Xu Huanhuan.

"Here you go!"

"We agreed to eat together, so you go first!"

Xu Huanhuan's smile froze for a moment when she looked at the steamed buns handed to her.

This guy... is unusually cautious!

Does this mean he's already seen through my trick?

Impossible, absolutely impossible!

How could my illusions be so easily seen through!

"No, I'm a germaphobe and I don't like eating things that other people have touched."

Xu Huanhuan waved her hand dismissively, "I want to pick one myself."

As a self-proclaimed master of deception, she naturally understood the principles of deception and reality.

To prevent this from happening, she deliberately put a real steamed bun in the bag of illusionary breakfast.

Hmph, once I eat the real one, you'll have no reason to doubt it anymore, right?

"Is that so..."

Yang Xian, of course, guessed her little scheme and slowly withdrew his hand.

System, please help me see which one in the bag is the real one.

[Ding! Only the innermost one is real and edible!]

"One steamed bun isn't enough to fill me up."

As Yang Xian spoke, he reached his hand directly into the paper bag.

Under Xu Huanhuan's astonished gaze, he precisely pulled out the real steamed bun from the very back.

Without even looking, he opened his mouth and took a big bite of the bun.

Ah!

The taste is pretty good!

Then, he handed the paper bag in his hand to Xu Huanhuan.

"Choose!"

"This..." Xu Huanhuan was completely dumbfounded.

She stared blankly at the half-eaten bun Yang Xian had taken a bite out of, then looked at the pile of magically created buns in the bag, her mind completely blank.

Damn it! Is Yang Xian really that lucky?

Did he really take the only one?

How am I supposed to act now?

"I...I suddenly don't feel like eating steamed buns anymore!"

"Bye-Bye!"

As soon as she finished speaking, her figure vanished with a "bang," turning into a shower of pink petals that disappeared without a trace in the wind.

"mock up!"

Yang Xian curled his lip in disdain, turned around and threw the whole bag of "fake buns" into the trash can by the roadside.

He turned to look at Luo Bingyan.

"Let's go to the cafeteria."

------

In the distance, on a large, leafy tree.

Xu Huanhuan sat on a thick tree branch, swinging her two fair legs, angrily tugging at the leaves.

"Interesting, I couldn't fool him twice!"

"How exactly did he figure out my moves?"

Her family tasked her with getting close to Yang Xian and, ideally, getting pregnant.

But she wasn't interested in having children at all.

What she wants is fun!

She goes wherever there's fun to be had!

If there's no fun, she'll create it!

She had initially thought this mission would be as tedious and boring as before, but now she realized she was wrong.

At least, Yang Xian, who could see through her illusions at a glance and even play tricks on her, aroused her interest like never before!

"Just you wait, you'll see!"

Xu Huanhuan crumpled the leaves in her hand into a ball and threw them on the ground.

"I refuse to believe I can't fool you even once!"
