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

"Ring ring—"

The school bell rang, sounding like heavenly music.

"Finally get out of class is over, I was so sleepy I almost died..."

Yang Xian stretched his shoulders and, before most of his classmates could react, was the first to slip out of the classroom.

However, he had only taken a few steps out of the classroom when the corridor ahead was completely blocked.

"Yang Xian! Over here!"

"Give me your autograph!"

He was surrounded once again by enthusiastic faces.

"No way! Not again!" Yang Xian's face fell instantly.

If we get stuck this time, it won't be so easy to get away!

The Void Shadow Step was quietly activated.

Before everyone's eyes, Yang Xian's figure left a very faint afterimage in place before disappearing instantly.

"Hey? Where's Yang Xian?"

"Why did it suddenly disappear?"

"I just saw him here!"

The students left behind looked at each other, completely bewildered.

A quick-thinking girl suggested, "Don't panic! The next class is mecha training. We can find him by seeing which training ground his classmates go to!"

"Yeah! Let's go, let's go!"

……

On the other side, Yang Xian fled the teaching building in one breath and ran towards the training ground in the distance without looking back.

"Oh my god, that was terrifying!" Yang Xian patted his chest, still shaken. "They were even crazier than the students at Chengwu University!"

"Hehe, I'm so envious of you!" Lin Ai landed lightly beside him, resting her chin on her hands, her eyes sparkling.

"I've never been this popular before! I hope that one day I'll be surrounded by people asking for autographs like this."

Like Liang Gaoyi, Lin Ai was secretly raised from a young age as his most important "weapon," and her life was strictly restricted.

He didn't even have a friend to talk to, let alone show his face in public.

Seeing the genuine envy on Lin Ai's face, Yang Xian felt inexplicably uneasy.

"This limelight should have been yours all along; you don't need to be envious."

He paused, then asked with a hint of helplessness, "Speaking of which, are you just going to give me all your hard work for nothing? Don't you feel bad about it?"

"With our relationship, why distinguish between 'yours' and 'mine'?" Lin Ai laughed innocently, moving closer to Yang Xian.

"Now you're the only one in the whole world who can see me and hear me speak."

"Only you can share these achievements!"

"So, you should just accept it!"

Got it!

And yet, for no apparent reason, another reason to become a "genius" has emerged.

Yang Xian sighed inwardly and stepped into the massive training ground complex.

"Which training ground was it again?"

He was looking around, searching for a place to hold his class.

The next moment, a clear whistle came from not far away.

"Over here!"

Yang Xian looked in the direction of the sound and saw Liu Ruyu leaning against the wall, standing at an angle.

"It's you?" Yang Xian walked over.

"Well? Have you made up your mind?" Liu Ruyu straightened up and walked a few steps to Yang Xian.

"Leave this lousy academy and take me back to South Sea City! That way you won't have to be chased by those people asking for autographs all the time."

Do you think I don't want to?

The problem is, I can't go back even if I want to!

Yang Xian inwardly scoffed, but his face remained impassive: "If you're so eager to leave, why don't you go alone? Why drag me along?"

"Go alone?" Liu Ruyu scoffed. "I've tried, countless times. But every time, I've been dragged back."

Finally, she shrugged and said, "I had no other choice but to come to you."

Just as the two were talking, the shouts of the enthusiastic classmates came from behind them again.

Upon seeing this, Yang Xian's expression changed: "They caught up so quickly?"

"..." Liu Ruyu glanced at the crowd, then looked at Yang Xian, "Leave it to me."

The girl suddenly turned around and stood directly in front of everyone.

Then, she spoke in a cocky tone.

"What do you want with my boyfriend?"

Boy friend? !

The rushing crowd stopped abruptly, frozen in place, their faces filled with shock.

"Wow! It's a beauty saving the hero! I love this part!" Lin Ai exclaimed excitedly, stomping her feet beside her.

One by one, the people stood up to refute:

"No, that's impossible!"

"Exactly! We've never heard of Yang Xian having a girlfriend!"

"Who do you think you are! Don't talk nonsense here!"

Even Yang Xian himself was surprised.

girlfriend?

What a joke!

If Liu Qin, that woman, found out that I found a girlfriend just two days after the start of the semester at the academy, that would be terrible.

She had finally gained a slight advantage in that relationship, and she didn't want to give it away because of this mess.

When that woman gets angry, who knows what methods she'll use to torture me!

"I say so, and that's final!" Liu Ruyu declared without the slightest fear, as if asserting her ownership. "I am his girlfriend!"

"Hey! Don't..."

Before Yang Xian could even utter the words "nonsense," he felt his lips being sealed by something soft.

Liu Ruyu actually kissed him in front of everyone!

!!!

Yang Xian's mind went completely blank for a moment.

"Oh—!" Lin Ai exclaimed in surprise, covering her mouth.

Before Yang Xian could react, Liu Ruyu had already ended the brief kiss and then opened her arms to pull him into her embrace.

She even deliberately pressed his head against her firm and ample chest.

Liu Ruyu raised her chin and looked around at the group of dumbfounded students.

"Now, do you believe me?"

"He, Yang Xian, is my man now. Stay away from him from now on, understand?"

The crowd fell completely silent.

The air was filled with the sound of heartbreak.

Several female classmates even had tears in their eyes. They glared at Yang Xian as if he were a heartless man, and then ran away crying.

The remaining people also looked dejected and slunk away.

A massive fan event was abruptly disrupted by a sudden kiss.

Liu Ruyu released Yang Xian with satisfaction, then pulled his stiff wrist and walked into the training ground where the class was to be held.

As soon as he entered the door, Yang Xian abruptly shook off her hand, glaring at her with a mixture of anger and anxiety:

"Hey! What are you doing?!"

"I've already told you I have someone I like!"

"So what if they are? It's none of my business!" Liu Ruyu shrugged nonchalantly, arms crossed. "Now, the whole school knows we're a couple. What are you planning to do next?"

"What else can we do?" Yang Xian said irritably. "Of course, we have to clarify..."

"Marriage is wonderful!" Liu Ruyu wrapped her arms around his neck.

"When should we get married? I suggest the sooner the better!"

"We should register tomorrow! Then we'll head back to Nanhai City immediately!"

"My mom is driving me crazy!"

Yang Xian: "???"

Does this guy not understand human speech?

Did I mean those two words?

He took a deep breath, gritted his teeth, and pointed, "I said 'clarify! Clarify! Clarify this relationship! Explain to everyone that we are both innocent!"

"Explain yourself?" Liu Ruyu sneered, leaning back against the wall of the training ground.

Can you explain this clearly?

"Everyone just saw us kiss!"

"This..." Yang Xian was speechless for a moment.

"Promise to take me to South Sea City!" A confident smile curved Liu Ruyu's lips.

"Otherwise, I'll pester you every single day!"

"Spread the rumors about us throughout Star City!"

"I'll make sure you never have a peaceful day again!"
