I agreed to be a kept man, but I'm still being punished by the system.

Early autumn, Huahai City, Yunxia Mountain Villa.

In the kitchen, the flashes of the knives on the cutting board were so fast they created a blur of afterimages.

Lin Yang wore an apron with pink strawberries printed on it around his waist and held an ordinary chef's knife in his hand.

His movements were fluid and graceful, each strike of the blade precise to the micrometer.

It is the product of the perfect fusion of "master-level combat skills" and "high-class culinary skills".

In the water tank, the top-grade golden bird's nest has been cleaned thoroughly.

He lifted the pot, turned on the fire, and with his right hand slightly spread, wisps of subtle energy emanated from his palm, precisely controlling the gas flame at the bottom of the pot, keeping the heat at the perfect critical point.

If Xiao Yan, the deceased number one on the Dragon Ranking, were to see that someone had actually used "Perfect Dark Strength" to stew bird's nest, he would probably be so angry that he would crawl out of hell and die again.

Inside the sunroom, the warm autumn sun shines through the bulletproof glass onto the gleaming marble floor.

"Giggle..."

The clear laughter of a baby echoed in the room.

Su Man sat in a rattan chair, holding her newborn baby in her arms.

The little one had bright, clear eyes; he was practically a miniature version of Su Man. At that moment, he was reaching out his chubby little hands, trying to grab his mother's long hair that hung down in front of her chest.

Su Man's eyes were filled with an overwhelming tenderness as she carefully placed her fingers into her daughter's palm.

On the other side, Qin Xue, dressed in a loose-fitting haute couture loungewear, crossed her arms and looked down at the custom-made sandalwood cradle.

In the cradle, a chubby little boy was fast asleep, with a drool bubble hanging from the corner of his mouth.

"As expected of my son, Qin Xue." Qin Xue raised an eyebrow domineeringly. "Look at that sleeping posture, he was born with the aura of an heir to the Enwei Group worth hundreds of billions. Tomorrow I'll have the legal department draft an equity transfer agreement and transfer 10% of the shares to him as a one-month celebration gift."

Upon hearing this, Su Man smiled helplessly: "Sister Xue, he's only a month old, you're being too hasty."

In the sofa area, Liu Shanshan, the usually decisive leader of the Hongmen, was wearing a simple and elegant home dress, a rare sight today, and was sitting next to Chen Wanjun, whose belly was obviously protruding.

"How about this pink dress? It was hand-sewn by a master tailor from a tailor shop under the Hongmen, the fabric is absolutely soft." Liu Shanshan pointed to the design on the tablet.

Chen Wanjun touched her round belly, looking conflicted: "But what if it's a boy? Actually, I think the blue outfit is nice too, it's refreshing."

"Then we'll do it all." Liu Shanshan waved her hand domineeringly. "How could we skimp on clothes for my godson and daughter? We'll use the best fabrics in Huahai City and bring them all to the resort."

Two meters away from them, Emily Lorne sat cross-legged on the carpet.

This former queen of the dark web is now also heavily pregnant.

She was holding a miniature sniper rifle model made of pure gold, a one-to-one replica.

"Baby, look carefully, this is the scope, and this is the trigger." Emily gestured as she spoke earnestly in broken Chinese to her belly, "When you're born, Mommy will teach you how to blow the enemy's head off from two kilometers away. This is the Lorne family's traditional prenatal education."

Lin Yang walked out of the kitchen carrying a tray, just in time to hear Emily's outrageous remarks.

His eye twitched violently.

"Stop it, all of you." Lin Yang placed the tray on the coffee table and brought out five steaming bowls of premium bird's nest soup. "Emily, if you keep using that broken gun for prenatal education, believe me, I'll just crush it into a lump of gold!"

Emily pouted, giving him a glare with her icy blue eyes: "Mind your own business. On the dark web, even three-year-olds are practicing with guns."

"This is the Dragon Kingdom, Yunxia Manor." Lin Yang walked to her side, took the golden spear from her, and at the same time stuffed a bowl of bird's nest into her hand. "Eat."

The bird's nest, prepared with exquisite culinary skills, exuded a refreshing fragrance. Emily took a deep breath, muttered "the quintessence of China," and obediently picked up her spoon.

Lin Yang turned around and handed a bowl to Qin Xue, Su Man, Chen Wanjun, and Liu Shanshan.

Since it was inconvenient for Su Man to hold the baby, Lin Yang naturally took the little girl from her.

The little girl giggled as soon as she was in his arms. Lin Yang's eyes softened instantly, and he quietly activated his "Great Perfection of Qi," sending a warm and gentle stream of true energy into his daughter's body to help regulate her Qi and blood.

The little guy yawned and closed his eyes peacefully.

"Your technique is getting more and more skillful." Liu Shanshan scooped up a spoonful of bird's nest and put it in her mouth. Her beautiful eyes sparkled as she teased, "The killing god who once struck fear into the hearts of all the powerful families in Yanjing has now become a super dad. If word gets out, the brothers of the Hongmen will probably be shocked."

"Stop talking nonsense." Lin Yang gently placed his daughter back in the cradle and said irritably, "Hurry up and eat, then it's time for your afternoon nap. Anyone who dares to stay up late, don't blame me for the family discipline tomorrow."

Night falls.

Yunxia Villa returned to tranquility. The little ones had all fallen asleep, and the pregnant women had all gone back to their rooms to rest.

Lin Yang stood alone on the spacious second-floor terrace, his hands gripping the railing, overlooking the entire city of Huahai.

In the distance, the CBD financial district is ablaze with lights, a dazzling array of neon lights interwoven into a vast network of light.

A cool night breeze ruffled the stray hairs on his forehead.

Lin Yang took out a cigarette from his pocket, twirled it in his hand, but ultimately didn't light it. Instead, he casually threw it into the trash can next to him.

With a pregnant woman and a baby around, he would have quit long ago.

His thoughts drifted away with the night breeze.

From an unknown intern to unexpectedly acquiring a system, he embarks on this outrageous journey of "living off a woman".

He conquered Su Man, rescued Qin Xue, subdued Liu Shanshan, and intimidated Emily... Along the way, he transformed from an ordinary person into an unparalleled powerhouse who wielded dark web authority, the Hongmen scepter, and stood at the pinnacle of the Dragon Ranking.

Recalling how, atop the Forbidden City, in front of all the prominent families of Yanjing, he crushed Xiao Yan, the self-proclaimed number one bio-engineered monster in the world. That once unattainable power and strength, in his eyes, was ultimately nothing more than a meaningless lump of scrap metal.

What he pursued was never invincibility or absolute power.

He just wanted to prove that he could live off his wife more than anyone else.

He did it.

Those immense powers, terrifying wealth, and unparalleled military strength have now transformed into the strongest walls protecting the manor behind them.

Just then, I heard light footsteps behind me.

Lin Yang did not turn around.

He had forcibly shut down the Five Star Crisis warning a long time ago.

In this mountain resort, no warning is needed.

A cashmere coat with a light fragrance was gently draped over his shoulders.

Lin Yang turned around.

Qin Xue, Su Man, Liu Shanshan, Emily, and Chen Wanjun—five women, some with protruding bellies, others who had already regained their figures.

They stood together, without the fierce competition and jealousy, only the mutual support that had settled after going through life and death together.

"It's autumn, and the wind is strong." Qin Xue gathered her long hair, her tone still carrying a hint of a strong woman's assertiveness, but the concern in her eyes was impossible to hide.

Su Man stepped forward and naturally took Lin Yang's right arm: "Why are you standing here alone in the wind? The children are asleep, and everyone is waiting for you."

Lin Yang glanced at the five women beside him.

Each one of them was an indispensable piece of his life's puzzle, and was once the most admired beauty in Huahai, or even in the world.

Now, they are all his family.

There were no arguments, no scheming.

Lin Yang took a deep breath, his previously subdued eyes brightened again, and the corners of his mouth curled into his signature, slightly roguish smile.

He opened his arms and, in an extremely domineering manner, pulled Qin Xue and Su Man, who were closest to him, into his embrace.

"It's nothing." Lin Yang lowered his head and kissed Qin Xue's forehead, then pinched Su Man's cheek, and said with a laugh, "I just suddenly realized that I'm completely doomed to be in the hands of you rich women for the rest of my life."

"Don't pretend you're innocent after getting a good deal." Liu Shanshan rolled her eyes at him, exuding charm.

"Exactly." Emily nudged him with her shoulder. "Hurry up and come in, my legs are sore, I need you to give me a massage with that 'Massage Mastery' thing."

"Yes, madams."

Lin Yang smiled and shook his head, then turned and walked into the house with the beauty in his arms.

The warmth of the room enveloped him, and the light cast long shadows of the group.

He ate this bowl of rice to its fullest extent, and found complete satisfaction in it.

Just as Lin Yang was about to step through the sliding door...

A sudden change occurred.

Since the battle at the Forbidden City, a faint electrical sound suddenly came from the depths of his mind, which had been in a state of complete dormancy.

The voice was faint, yet incredibly real.

Immediately afterwards, the previously gray system retina interface flickered without warning.

A faint blue glow appeared in Lin Yang's right eye.

【Ding……】

That familiar mechanical electronic voice, which had dominated countless days and nights of his life, exploded in his mind.

Lin Yang abruptly stopped, his smile instantly freezing on his face.

System self-check complete. Hibernation ended.

[Warning! A galaxy-sized, high-dimensional, wealthy target has been detected in the outer reaches of the Milky Way, towards the Andromeda Nebula.]

[Target Wealth Rating: Cosmic Level (Immeasurable). Overall Score: 100. Tags: High-Dimensional Deity, Interstellar Tyrant, Extremely Needy.]

[The "Soft Rice and Hardcore Sex" system upgrade is complete and a forced restart is imminent...]

Watching the bright blue countdown flicker on my retina, listening to the emotionless notification sound.

Lin Yang's eyes twitched violently, and his chest heaved.

He turned to look at the baby who had just fallen asleep in the room, and then at his wives beside him, whose eyes were full of tenderness.

After a brief silence.

On the second-floor terrace of Yunxia Villa, Lin Yang's long-suppressed, teeth-gritting roar erupted.

"roll!!!"
