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

[Urgent Notice: Suspected monster activity has been detected in Area A. To ensure the safety of citizens, this area will be immediately placed under lockdown. All citizens are requested to stay home and avoid going out unless absolutely necessary!]

Almost simultaneously, a pinned announcement was also posted on the intranet of Nanhai No.1 Middle School.

[Emergency School Closure Notice: Following instructions from higher authorities, to ensure the safety of all teachers and students, the school will immediately implement a school closure. No one may enter but not leave until the alert is lifted.]

"Monster? Close the school?"

After dinner, Yang Xian's phone kept vibrating, and various group chats at the school were in an uproar.

But he had no time to pay attention to any of that at the moment.

"What's wrong? You don't look well."

Jiang Mengyun's voice came from the side.

She had just seen the notification on her phone, but there was no sign of panic on her face.

"I have to go back to school."

Yang Xian said in a deep voice, "Xiao Bai is still at school!"

To ensure the safety of students, each school in Zone A is guarded by an average of two to three martial artists.

As a key high school, Nanhai No.1 Middle School will be assigned five martial artists.

For ordinary students, staying at school is theoretically much safer than wandering around outside.

But Yang Xian was still worried about Bai Chuyi.

With such a large school and so many students, how could just a few martial artists possibly cover everything?

What if?

What if that little foodie, Xiaobai, happens to run into a monster while looking for something to eat...

Countless terrifying possibilities flashed through Yang Xian's mind in an instant.

If anything happens to Bai Chuyi, her father will probably skin him alive!

More importantly, he himself couldn't get over this hurdle.

"Xiaobai? Your childhood sweetheart?"

Are you worried about her?

Jiang Mengyun raised an eyebrow.

"Yes." Yang Xian did not deny it.

"Worried? What's the use of worrying?" Jiang Mengyun stretched lazily.

"Besides, what could an ordinary person like you do even if you went to school?"

"If you really encounter an enemy that even official martial artists can't handle, what can you do?"

"Are we just waiting to die?"

Yang Xian didn't explain, "Don't worry about that, I have a way!"

I have now entered the early stage of the Qi Condensation Realm (Second Realm), and my body is full of power.

Not only does it have 7000 system points, but it also has the Heaven-level top-grade cultivation technique, "Ice Soul Divine Art".

If you go all in and use up all your system points, you should have no rivals below the third realm.

Protecting Bai Chuyi is more than enough.

"No need for that."

"Why don't I just send a few people over and bring your childhood sweetheart here?"

"Being here with me is a hundred times safer than being at school!"

Jiang Mengyun could indeed see that Yang Xian's worry was genuine and not an excuse to see other women.

This made her feel a little better.

At the same time, Jiang Mengyun also wanted to get to know Bai Chuyi, whom she had only met once.

I should at least personally oversee the process, right?

By the way... we also need to let the other party know who the lady of the house is!

"Isn't No. 1 Middle School already under lockdown? No one can leave except those who enter."

"How did you manage to get her out?"

Yang Xian was puzzled.

"Heh!" Jiang Mengyun chuckled softly, her eyes filled with the arrogance befitting the second young lady of the Jiang family.

"School lockdown? That's for regular students."

"My Jiang family is one of the major shareholders of No. 1 High School. Let alone picking someone up, even if I wanted to replace the principal, it would only be a matter of a word."

Yang Xian: "..."

Wow, the power of capital is truly unpretentious.

"It would be best if we could take it over."

"But Xiaobai is rather introverted and shy, so I, as her older brother, should go there myself."

"My dad specifically told me that I must take good care of her."

Having said all that, Jiang Mengyun couldn't refuse any longer.

She tilted her head, staring at Yang Xian with her alluring peach blossom eyes for a long while, and then suddenly smiled.

"OK."

"Then I'll go with you."

How can I let my husband, whom I finally managed to get the marriage certificate stamped, run around outside alone?

If they encounter any danger on the way, his younger brother, a martial artist at the third realm, is no pushover.

Then, she can step in front of her husband and act as a damsel in distress, saving the hero...

Tsk tsk, Yang Xian must have been so moved that he burst into tears on the spot?

Yang Xian nodded.

"Okay, let's go together then."

------

Half an hour later...

"The traffic is so bad!"

"When will we get to school?!"

Jiang Mengyun complained softly.

Looking around, the entire road was completely blocked, filled with the sounds of horns and curses.

"These people are probably there to hoard supplies."

Yang Xian looked out the car window and frowned.

With so many people blocking this place, if the monsters come out, won't we wipe them all out?

But he understood that these citizens had no choice but to come out and buy supplies.

After all, no one knows how long this sudden lockdown will last.

Monsters have infiltrated the city, and even though the authorities have repeatedly emphasized that the threat is not great, it is enough to plunge the people into great panic.

The unknown is the most terrifying thing.

"husband."

"Look how chaotic it is outside, aren't you scared?"

"If you're scared, just come and hide in my arms."

Jiang Mengyun forcefully pulled Yang Xian into her arms and looked down at him.

She embodies the typical image of a domineering female CEO.

"I'll protect you well!"

A blush rose on Yang Xian's face, and she turned her head away.

"I...I'm not weak either, okay?"

hateful!

He got flirted with by his wife again!

I am a second-realm martial artist with a heaven-level technique. Do I need a weak woman like you to protect me?

If there's any real danger, just don't hide behind me and cry!

But in Jiang Mengyun's eyes, this appearance was simply the best proof of shyness.

Her smile deepened, and she was about to tease him a bit more.

But the next second...

Something's not right!

A cold, crisp voice suddenly rang out in the carriage.

The car suddenly came to an abrupt stop.

Jiang Yu, who had been resting with his eyes closed, suddenly opened them.

A cold glint flashed in those clear eyes.

Upon hearing this, the bodyguards inside the car immediately prepared for battle, carefully checking the situation outside the vehicle.

Jiang Mengyun and Yang Xian also stopped their playful fighting.

"There's a demonic aura!"

"It was mixed in with the crowd!"

"alert!"

Jiang Yu called out in a low voice.

"Click...!" The people in the car quietly unbuckled their seatbelts.

In the crowd?

Despite their confusion, they focused most of their attention on passersby.

"But if the monsters were really among the people, wouldn't chaos have broken out by now?"

A bodyguard asked.

The other bodyguards thought the same thing.

Could it be a stealthy monster?

With such a high density of people, if a monster were to appear, the consequences would be unimaginable!

There were people all around, so an ordinary person couldn't escape even if they wanted to.

Monsters can easily take the lives of most people.

"Stop talking nonsense and listen to my brother's arrangements!" Jiang Mengyun didn't understand either, but she still chose to trust Jiang Yu.

The car's engine also stopped.

All the bodyguards ran out of the car to stand guard.

Yang Xian held Jiang Mengyun's hand firmly.

If a crisis occurs, even if it means exposing my identity as a martial artist, I must protect Meng Yun!

"Beep beep beep—!"

The car behind kept honking its horn, and the driver was shouting at the top of his lungs.

"What's that car doing parked there?"

"Hurry up and leave!"
