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

"Yang Xian... I'm sorry to have kept you waiting..."

"This is what I wanted you to see!"

Xia Ming's voice trembled slightly.

She had already subtly inquired about Yang Xian's certain peculiar "preferences" from Lin Qingxue.

What contrast, uniforms, role-playing...?

But Lin Qingxue spoke with absolute certainty, leaving her no choice but to believe him.

The Lolita dress she was wearing was one she had bought a long time ago, but it had been sitting at the bottom of her trunk and she had never worn it.

All this was to wait for the right opportunity.

And now, she believes, is the most opportune time.

She made an excuse to get something, but actually ran back to her dorm as fast as she could and then jogged back.

"Xia Ming, what's wrong with you...?"

Yang Xian's brain went blank for a moment.

"Tap, tap, tap..."

Before he could finish speaking, the sound of shoes tapping on the ground echoed in the quiet little shop, each tap feeling like a beat against Yang Xian's heart.

Xia Ming walked step by step to Yang Xian.

then……

Under Yang Xian's astonished gaze, Xia Ming lifted the layers of her skirt, bent her knees, and the skirt spread out on the ground like a flower.

She knelt down.

Yang Xian! I like you!

Xia Ming's voice wasn't loud, but it exploded in Yang Xian's mind.

He was completely stunned.

Because she had just been heartbroken, the girl's swollen, red eyes now looked incredibly pitiful.

Xia Ming stared intently at Yang Xian, his gaze unwavering.

From the first time I saw you, I felt that you were different from others.

"You are very strong, but you never look down on others just because you are strong."

"You saved me several times, always protecting me behind you."

"And...and at the restaurant, even though you're so outstanding, you were still willing to patiently teach me how to make sauces and help me wrap my napkin..."

"My family is very poor, I'm not as capable as you, and I'm not as pretty as Senior Luo..."

Xia Ming's voice grew softer and softer, carrying a deep-seated sense of inferiority.

I know I'm not good enough for you.

"But...but I really like you!"

"I don't care how many women are around you, I just want to be with you forever!"

"Even... I'd be willing to be the subordinate!"

The girl's confession was sincere, passionate, and tinged with a hint of humble pleading.

Xia Ming knelt upright in front of Yang Xian, her blue and red skirt forming a beautiful circle on the ground.

The adorable and dreamy Lolita style, combined with her tall figure and her humble and insignificant demeanor at this moment, creates an extreme contrast.

The contrast is striking.

Xia Ming recalled the message Lin Qingxue had sent her not long ago.

"Yang Xian possesses the ability to ignore the 'extinction of martial arts lineage,' so you can pursue him with complete confidence!"

"Also, you have to be quick, so quick that he won't have time to refuse!"

Qingxue is right!

Yang Xian may seem like he doesn't care about anything, but he actually has the softest heart.

Once he calms down and starts thinking, he'll definitely come up with a million reasons to reject himself!

Can't wait any longer!

With this thought in mind, Xia Ming took Yang Xian's hand and gently placed it on his burning cheek.

The girl's skin was delicate and warm.

She tilted her head back and murmured softly.

"Master... please take me home!"

Before Yang Xian could react, Xia Ming's entire body pressed down on him, and a faint fragrance instantly enveloped him.

A soft touch came from the lips.

She kissed Yang Xian on the lips.

Xia Ming's heart was pounding, and only one thought was on his mind.

We must get this done before Boss Xu returns!

……

Outside the small shop.

A girl with fiery red twin ponytails is watching everything happening in the store through the clear glass window.

She shook the milk tea she hadn't finished drinking and pouted in dissatisfaction.

"Honestly... Xia Ming is so inconsiderate!"

"How dare they do this kind of thing behind my back in someone else's shop!"

Besides Xu Huanhuan's little shop.

In the vast Chengwu University, Xia Ming really couldn't find any other more private or suitable place.

So, she made do for a while before Xu Huanhuan returned.

Xu Huanhuan looked at the two figures embracing tightly inside the window and suddenly smiled softly:

"However... I still have to thank Xia Ming."

"If she hadn't demonstrated it herself, I really wouldn't know how to win over Yang Xian!"

"She responds better to gentle persuasion than force, and enjoys role-playing..."

She took another sip of her milk tea and let out a satisfied sigh:

"I just can't do anything with her. I'll just let her be willful for the day!"

------

Meanwhile, outside Nanhai City.

Inside a temporary headquarters of an exorcism cult, the atmosphere was bloody and oppressive.

"I did it! I finally did it!"

Carden's eyes gleamed as he stared maniacally at the center of the arena.

There stood a humanoid demon with a dark silver body and a slender figure.

It has no facial features; its face is a smooth, flat surface. What is most striking are its arms.

Those were not flesh and blood, but two sharp bone blades, each a meter and a half long, gleaming with a chilling light.

These are the four demonic creatures that Kaden has just enslaved.

"go."

Carden uttered a cold word.

The next moment, the fourth-level sword-armed demon moved!

Its figure vanished instantly, so fast that only a fleeting afterimage remained.

"Swish! Swish!"

Two incredibly fast silver lights flashed by.

"roar!"

Accompanied by two unwilling roars.

The two peak-stage third-realm demons standing nearby suddenly froze in mid-air.

Immediately afterwards, their bodies split open from the middle, the cut as smooth as a mirror, and their internal organs and blood gushed out onto the ground.

Sold out instantly!

They couldn't even put up a decent resistance!

This is the power of the four realms!

For a creature whose body has begun to condense the laws of heaven and earth, it is an absolute dimensional reduction attack for a martial artist of a lower realm!

"Amazing! Absolutely incredible!"

Carden was trembling with excitement, his face beaming with ecstasy.

Archbishop Leimen appeared behind him at some point, looking at the masterpiece in the room with an expressionless face.

"How is it, Caden? Are you satisfied with the 'Blade Demon' I prepared for you?"

"Satisfied! Extremely satisfied!" Carden nodded repeatedly, rubbing his hands excitedly. "Uncle Lemon, you're so kind to me!"

The image of Yang Xian holding a knife involuntarily surfaced in his mind.

Hey kid, you were pretty good at wielding your knife, weren't you?

I wonder what kind of amazing expression you'll have on your face when you're defeated by my 'Blade Demon'!

"Okay!" Lemon nodded.

"Tomorrow is the freshman competition at Chengwu University."

"When the time comes, you absolutely must regain the face I've lost in front of everyone!"

"I will show everyone the consequences of challenging the dignity of my Exorcism Sect! I will make Chengwu University lose all face!"

"Uncle Lemon, don't worry!" Cardon grinned maliciously.

"With it, how could those lowly Chinese martial artists possibly be my match?"

"Tomorrow, I will take back the face we've lost, tenfold, a hundredfold!"
