In an era where everyone is cultivating immortality, the system wants me to become a demon?

Chapter 153: Have they already considered having children?
Upon hearing Chen Xian's words, which carried a hint of sincerity, Su Yuan frowned slightly.

Although he never intended to become a son-in-law of the Chen family, he couldn't pretend he hadn't heard it.

"What do you mean?"

Su Yuan frowned and asked.

Chen Xian didn't rush to answer. First, he took out several precious healing pills from his storage magic treasure and swallowed them to stabilize his injuries. Only then did he say helplessly:
"To be honest, I don't actually have any improper thoughts about Miss."

"I just want to acquire the entire Chen family's assets by becoming a son-in-law of the Chen family."

Su Yuan: "..."

They drank so much after just a few dishes, and they're still eating and taking things away.

Seeing Su Yuan's expression as if he were looking at an idiot, Chen Xian wasn't surprised, and simply said calmly:

"You might think I'm delusional, after all, how could such a large family like the Chen family fall into the hands of a mere son-in-law?"

"But if I told you that my godfather Chen Yifeng successfully did this, would you still think that way?"

Su Yuan was slightly taken aback, recalling the imposing middle-aged man she had seen at the school gate years ago.

That was Chen Nuoyi's maternal grandfather.

"You mean, the class monitor's grandfather was also a son-in-law who married into the family?"

Su Yuan asked, somewhat incredulously.

"It's natural."

Chen Xian replied calmly:
"You have such a good relationship with the young lady, you must know that she lost her mother at a young age."

"Then may I ask, Su Yuan, you..."

"Don't call me Su Yuan, just call me Sect Leader, otherwise it'll seem like we're on equal footing."

Chen Xian: "..."

"Master, have you ever considered why the young lady's mother, and even my adoptive mother, as true direct descendants of the Chen family, perished so young?"

"With their talent, they should have become Golden Core cultivators with a lifespan of over three hundred years, and it wouldn't have been impossible for them to even break through to the Nascent Soul realm."

Su Yuan fell silent.

Although Chen Xian did not explicitly state it, there is only one possible reason why Chen Nuoyi's mother and maternal grandmother died young.

"Is there something wrong with their family's bloodline?"

Su Yuan asked solemnly.

"good."

Chen Xian nodded slightly:

"The rise of the Chen family originated from a perilous adventure of their ancestor in an ancient secret realm at the beginning of the spiritual energy revival."

“After that ancestor emerged from the ancient secret realm, his bloodline became extremely special, but also extremely unstable.”

"As far as I know, at the height of his power, that ancestor of the Chen family was just one step away from becoming a Nascent Soul True Monarch, but he suddenly passed away in his fifties."

The direct descendants of the Chen family he left behind will receive the same bloodline power as their ancestor within one or two days of officially coming of age, but they will also inherit the unstable factors in their ancestor's bloodline.

“My godmother and my god-sister, from the time they awakened their family bloodline after adulthood, did not last more than fifteen years before they perished due to the collapse of their bloodline. This is the reason why the Chen family takes power through sons-in-law.”

"Because people in their own family died too young."

"The reason I advised you not to become a son-in-law of the Chen family was entirely out of good intentions, so that your future children would not die young due to bloodline issues."

After listening quietly to Chen Xian's story, Su Yuan looked at her with the same gaze he would give a twin-tailed fairy.

"So you're so eager to become a son-in-law of the Chen family just because you're desperate for promotion, wealth, and the death of your wife?"

"So, if the class monitor doesn't die young, you won't get married, huh?"

Chen Xian's expression froze for a moment, then his face turned red.

He seemed to want to refute, but after opening his mouth, he found himself unable to do so.

Because Su Yuan was actually right.

He is an ambitious man, and seizing the Chen family's assets is just one step in his journey to immortality.

This is why he attaches so much importance to taking the civil service exam, pursuing a doctorate, and taking the postgraduate entrance exam.

He's not the kind of person who would just sit back and relax after acquiring a fortune. And if Chen Nuoyi could live a long and healthy life and hold power in the Chen family, why would he marry her?

Want to be a stay-at-home dad?

After holding it in for a long while, Chen Xian finally gritted his teeth and said:
"Don't treat me like a scumbag. I still have feelings for Miss."

"Then you're even more despicable, lusting after both a woman's body and her property."

"If I really give up on the class monitor, you'll probably come back and continue dreaming of being a live-in son-in-law."

Su Yuan sneered, his tone unusually cold:

"I'm not afraid of you holding a grudge in secret. I'll just tell you straight out: as long as I'm alive, scum like you will have to be my dog!"

"Trying to get promoted and make a fortune by being the class monitor? Forget about it."

Knowing he was in the wrong, Chen Xian didn't dare to argue back after being scolded, and just silently lowered his head.

What else can we do?

I can't be a live-in son-in-law anymore, but I can't fail the civil service exam too.

A true man can bend and stretch; he endured this humiliation of crawling between someone's legs!

After cursing, Su Yuan was too lazy to pay any more attention to such a scumbag and left the training ground on the Crimson Yuan Sword.

He was genuinely angered by what Chen Xian had just said.

Luckily, this kid has already become his property, and he'd be heartbroken if he damaged him, otherwise he would have thrown him onto the national highway and run him over a few more times.

However, putting aside his anger at Chen Xian's scumbag mentality, Su Yuan had to face a problem.

That is the issue of Chen Nuoyi's bloodline.

After meeting Li Zhengxing of the Li family, Xiao Meng of the Xiao family, and Xiao Kong, who each possessed secret techniques and special physiques, Su Yuan had a persistent question.

Why is it that Chen Nuoyi, the daughter of the Chen family, has always displayed mediocre cultivation and strength?
Does the Chen family not have any special bloodline or family secret techniques?
However, this is clearly unreasonable, because judging from the ranking of the major cultivation families in Taihua City, the Chen family can definitely stand on equal footing with the Li family and the Xiao family, and can be ranked as one of the top three families in Taihua City.

The other cultivation families in Taihua City will have to take a backseat.

Now Su Yuan knows.

The Chen family possesses a special bloodline that can shorten one's lifespan.

But having this kind of bloodline is worse than not having it at all.

Even if it can greatly increase the talent and strength of the inheritor, what good is it? After awakening the bloodline, they can only live for ten years or so!

This is a pure debuff for cultivators who can even argue about lifespan with elves!

Although Chen Nuoyi is not yet an adult, her eighteenth birthday should not be far away.

Once her bloodline awakens, entering the preparatory class and getting into one of the top ten universities might become very easy, but the future...

"Forget it, let's talk about the future when it comes."

Su Yuan shook his head.

Even if the squad leader has a short lifespan, he can still live for another ten years.

Over the next ten years, I might just find a way to cure the sergeant's bloodline problem.

Moreover, even if they couldn't cure the class monitor, his Blood Beast Cultivation Method and Ancient Corpse Refining Method could still be used to some extent.

It's a bit evil, but at least it can guarantee that the class monitor won't completely perish. We can find a way to revive her later.

With this in mind, Su Yuan temporarily suppressed his worries.

The following day, in the advanced class classroom.

After seeing Chen Nuoyi, Su Yuan wasn't particularly worried, but he couldn't help asking:
"Squad leader, when is your birthday again?"

Hearing this question, Chen Nuoyi was somewhat surprised:

"Su Yuan, why did you suddenly think of asking this?"

"Did you already know that tomorrow is my birthday?"

Su Yuan: "..."
