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

Yang Xian's gaze unconsciously drifted downwards...

like!

I absolutely love it!

Tell me, what man in the world doesn't enjoy this kind of scene?

Is this girl doing it on purpose?

Yang Xian hadn't had time to savor it yet.

Now, looking at Nan Shunian wearing only a bath towel...

The combination of a blank expression and a slight shyness has a unique charm!

But Yang Xian thought that he was still "angry".

Besides, Jiang Mengyun was watching over them.

Of course, one cannot reveal one's true thoughts.

"Ahem!"

"Don't do that again!"

"What if an unexpected situation arises like today?"

Yang Xian's tone was serious, with a hint of reproach.

Nan Shunian didn't know if she understood Yang Xian's meaning.

She simply lowered her head and muttered something under her breath.

"Oh……"

"Now, go put your clothes on!" Yang Xian pointed to the mountain of takeout boxes and trash piled up on the table. "Then clean up the mess you made yesterday!"

Nan Shunian glanced at the trash with her dead fish eyes, then at the bath towel on her body.

"But... I don't have any clothes right now!"

"I took all my clothes to be washed last night..."

His words also carried a sense of grievance and self-righteousness.

"You...you knew you had no clothes, yet you still washed all of them?" Yang Xian's lips twitched violently.

Looking at the loose bath towel on the girl's body and her innocent expression, I just felt a headache coming on.

Then, pointing to his room, he said with a hint of helplessness, "You can wear my clothes!"

"No way!" Nan Shunian pouted and refused decisively, "It's too big and uncomfortable to wear."

Yang Xian felt his vision go black.

Although he could use the "Water Moon True Technique" to dry his clothes.

But they also knew that because of what had just happened, Nan Shunian was determined to stay.

"Sigh! Then go back to my room and play games. You can leave after your clothes are dry!" Yang Xian finally gave in.

Nan Shunian nodded in agreement and happily scurried back to her bedroom.

As the door closed...

Only Yang Xian and Jiang Mengyun remained in the living room.

Withdrawing his gaze, Yang Xian turned around and looked at Jiang Mengyun guiltily.

At last……

He took a deep breath and sincerely apologized:

"Mengyun...I'm sorry!"

"About yesterday... I shouldn't have lied to you."

Admit your mistake!

It's no big deal!

Jiang Mengyun did not answer immediately, her beautiful eyes meeting Yang Xian's gaze directly.

Her eyes held a complex mix of emotions: grievance, confusion, but mostly a hint of heartache.

"So you know you were wrong?"

Jiang Mengyun's voice was soft, but trembled slightly, "If I hadn't found out in the end, were you planning to keep it from me forever?"

Yang Xian's heart tightened.

He knew that this was what Jiang Mengyun cared about most.

The feeling of being deceived was more painful for her than any other woman she had ever been with.

"I was just... afraid you'd be angry." Yang Xian lowered his head, his expression full of regret.

"If you're really angry, then punish me by making me kneel on a washboard, or by hitting me and yelling at me—I'll accept any of that!"

"As long as you can forgive me, that's enough!"

As he spoke, Yang Xian actually stretched his face in front of Jiang Mengyun, his eyes tightly closed.

Jiang Mengyun looked at Yang Xian's "do whatever you want" face and suddenly smiled softly.

His smile was filled with doting affection and relief.

"Silly boy!" Jiang Mengyun gently stroked Yang Xian's face, her movements tender. "Don't worry, I'm not angry with you!"

Yang Xian's heart stirred, and he slowly opened his eyes, finding it hard to believe that Jiang Mengyun had forgiven him so easily.

Then, Jiang Mengyun moved closer to Yang Xian, her body pressed tightly against the man she loved most:

"I know you're very charming, and your physique is also special."

"These things are unavoidable in the future."

"But whatever you do in the future, please tell me first, okay?"

Hearing these words, Yang Xian was almost moved to tears.

He hugged Jiang Mengyun tightly and buried his head in her hair.

With a wife like this, what more could a husband ask for?

Jiang Mengyun's understanding made him feel more guilty than any punishment.

"rest assured!"

Yang Xian said, his voice slightly hoarse, "It will never happen again!"

Jiang Mengyun gently patted Yang Xian's back and nestled in his arms.

After a long time, Yang Xian suddenly thought of something:

"Oh, right, Mengyun!"

"What exactly happened with the wedding? Why was it suddenly canceled?"

If Mengyun didn't cancel the wedding because she was angry, then what was the reason?

Could it be that something happened to Grandpa Jiang?

"This is what I wanted to tell you in person." Jiang Mengyun got up from Yang Xian's arms, her face regaining its seriousness. "Do you remember the location where you went out on your mission?"

"Of course I remember!" Yang Xian said, "Outside G District, in that wilderness."

A few months ago, he accepted a mission to hunt monsters and then left the city from G district.

During this time, they also encountered Tao Tao and Ye Huairou.

Of course, the most unlucky one is encountering a spatial rift.

"Yes!" Jiang Mengyun nodded.

"The spatial rift outside G-sector city is becoming increasingly unsafe!"

"The monsters inside are extremely powerful. The South China Sea leadership has already sent many people to guard the area, but there is still a risk of it falling."

"If we fall, the tragedy of Star City might be repeated in South Sea City!"

Yang Xian's heart suddenly sank.

In Zhou Xiyan's memory, he had personally witnessed the scene of Star City being breached.

Because of that disaster, Zhou Xiyan and Zhou Xier lost both their parents and fled to Nanhai City with their master.

"Were all the people from your Jiang family sent there too?" Yang Xian quickly asked.

"That's right!" Jiang Mengyun paused for a moment before slowly speaking.

"My great-grandfather was seriously injured and hasn't woken up yet. But my grandfather has already gone there with his men."

"Therefore, the family decided yesterday to postpone our wedding."

Yang Xian felt a mix of emotions.

He knew that the Jiang family must have made this decision because of an urgent situation.

He reached out and gently took Jiang Mengyun's hand, offering her silent comfort.

"The survival of South Sea City is of paramount importance!"

"We can put the wedding on hold for now."

"Once this crisis is over, I'll give you a bigger, more grand, and more unforgettable wedding!"

He looked into Jiang Mengyun's eyes and made a promise.

"Okay..." Jiang Mengyun covered her mouth with one hand, revealing a touched smile, "I'll be waiting for that day!"

"So, when will this turmoil finally end?"

Yang Xian asked again.

"I'm not really sure about that." Jiang Mengyun shook her head, a hint of worry flashing in her eyes.

"But my mom said..."

"It seems that a ninth-realm demonic creature lurks in that spatial rift..."

P.S.: With the Lunar New Year approaching, I'll try to update as much as possible. It might be once a day, or it might not. Please forgive me...
