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

What kind of incredible background does this senior have?

Or is he the biological son of some powerful and influential figure?

Even with a powerful background, an F-level talent isn't worth a seventh-realm Martial Emperor spending over a decade teaching, right?

The input and output are so disproportionate!

Just as Yang Xian was racking his brains trying to figure it out, the long-haired man in the training field seemed to have noticed their arrival.

He stopped what he was doing, turned around, and looked towards the doorway.

"Professor! There are two more junior students!"

"My name is Liang Gaoyi. Nice to meet you!"

------

Classes ended at noon.

"Why hasn't Yang Xian come out yet?"

"Could they be doing something in there with Nan Shunian?"

Xu Huanhuan kicked at the pebbles at her feet listlessly.

She had been waiting here all morning.

The girl was not wearing a mask at this moment.

Her long, snow-white hair was tied into playful waist-length pigtails.

She was wearing a red and white striped short dress, the hem of which barely covered the top of her thighs.

A pair of long, slender, fair legs were exposed to the air without any cover.

On her feet were a pair of stylish ankle boots.

This look combines the innocence of a young girl with a perfectly balanced touch of sexiness.

The next moment, Yang Xian and Nan Shunian appeared in her sight.

"It's finally here!"

Almost simultaneously, Yang Xian also noticed a familiar yet unfamiliar figure not far away.

"Um?!"

White-haired Xu Huanhuan?

Isn't she afraid of her identity being exposed?

Or did she really think it through after she went home last night?

Just as Yang Xian was going through a lot of internal struggles, Xu Huanhuan came up to him with light steps.

She didn't look at Yang Xian first, but walked straight to Nan Shunian, and then, as if by magic, conjured up a beautifully packaged large box out of thin air.

"Nan Shunian, congratulations! This is your prize for winning the first prize in the magic show. Please accept it!"

Upon hearing this, Nan Shunian opened the box with some skepticism.

next second...

"Holy crap! The latest holographic gaming headset! A top-of-the-line limited edition!"

She excitedly hugged the helmet to her chest, stroking it lovingly, almost drooling.

"Yang Xian, look! You said Xu Huanhuan's words weren't credible before! Now you've proven yourself wrong, haven't you?"

Xu Huanhuan glanced at Yang Xian indifferently, then smiled and said to Nan Shunian, "Classmate, why don't you take your prize and go back to experience it first? I have a few words I'd like to say to Yang Xian alone."

"Oh, okay!" Nan Shunian was so focused on her new toy that she couldn't care less about anything else and ran back to her dorm room without looking back.

Only Yang Xian and Xu Huanhuan remained at the scene.

"What tricks are you trying to pull now that you've sent Nan Shunian away?" Yang Xian asked, arms crossed, looking wary.

"Hey, don't be so hostile!"

Xu Huanhuan grinned and leaned closer, revealing two adorable little tiger teeth. "I've come here this time to sincerely apologize to you. See, I'm showing my true colors!"

As she spoke, she conjured up another box, slightly smaller than the previous one, and handed it to Yang Xian.

"Here! This is your apology! See if it's sincere enough?"

Looking at her face, now free of pretense, and her eyes filled with a mixture of expectation and trepidation, Yang Xian felt a sudden softening in his heart.

Perhaps I really should give her a chance.

He hesitated for a moment, but finally reached out and took the box.

The box wasn't heavy, so he opened it casually.

Then, Yang Xian was completely devastated.

"Xu Huanhuan! You tricked me again!"

"What do you mean by giving me this?!"

Inside the box lay a black and white...maid outfit!

It's the kind with lace trim and cat ear headbands!

"Don't you like maid outfits?" Xu Huanhuan blinked innocently.

"I heard that you even bring a set with you when you go on adventures in secret realms."

"In order to keep Nan Shunian from knowing about your peculiar fetish, I even spent a lot of money to get her away."

Am I thoughtful or not?

Yang Xian: "..."

He felt his blood pressure soaring.

Back at the Jiang family home, in order to explain the origin of the maid outfit Feng was wearing, he had no choice but to make up a story that he had a special fetish for wearing women's clothing.

At the time of the incident, only Mengyun, Xiyan, Feng, and Ling were present.

How did Xu Huanhuan find out?

Could it be that the Jiang family has someone planted by the Xu family?

Or did she find out what happened in the secret realm through some channels and then deduce it herself?

"I really... thank you!"

Yang Xian took a deep breath and squeezed out a few words through gritted teeth, "That was a good gift, but don't send any more in the future!"

"Don't be so polite!" Xu Huanhuan completely disregarded his attitude, reaching out her small hand to grab Yang Xian's wrist.

"Let's go! To express my apology, I'll treat you to something to eat!"

"Let's consider this... as if we've officially started dating!"

"Just the two of us!"

Upon hearing this, Yang Xian's mind went blank.

and many more……!

Dating?

You didn't mention this before you sent the gift!

------

A few minutes later, Yang Xian and Xu Huanhuan sat on a huge tree branch.

Yang Xian stared at the food in the bag, completely stunned.

"French fries? Fried chicken? Hamburgers?"

"Why is it all high-fat, high-calorie junk food?"

"You, the eldest daughter of the Xu family, only like to eat these kinds of things?"

"If it were that 'Xu Huanhuan,' of course she wouldn't eat these things, but I'm different..." Xu Huanhuan tore open a chicken leg and took a big bite:

"I craved these things so much when I was little, but my mom wouldn't let me because she said they weren't healthy."

"Now that we finally have the chance, of course we have to eat our fill!"

"You were the one who said I should take off my mask occasionally to get some fresh air!"

Before entering the Xu family, Xu Huanhuan could only watch other people's children eat.

But now that I'm eating it... it's really just so-so.

It wasn't as delicious as I had imagined.

Yang Xian looked at her and sighed helplessly.

"Eating it occasionally is fine, but eating it too often is bad for your health..."

"Why are you so long-winded, just like my grandpa?" Xu Huanhuan interrupted him, annoyed.

Yang Xian wisely kept his mouth shut.

"These fries are way too long, it's so hard to eat them." The girl picked up a fries and held it up to her eyes to look at them.

She suddenly turned her head to look at Yang Xian, a sly glint in her eyes: "Hey, Yang Xian, could you help me cut her in half?"

"Huh?" Yang Xian looked completely bewildered. "It's just a regular French fry, where's the growth?"

"I don't care! I just think it's too long!"

Xu Huanhuan acted like a rogue, gently biting one end with her lips and then bringing her face close to Yang Xian's.

Under the shade of the tree, the girl's face was fair and translucent, and in her clear eyes, Yang Xian's somewhat astonished face was reflected.

She spoke indistinctly, a French fry dangling from her mouth.

"Come quick, help me bite it off."
