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

"Grandma, we were wrong!"

"We are not human, we are beasts!"

"We shouldn't have spread rumors about you, and we shouldn't have stepped on your flyers!"

"We shouldn't have let you do our homework..."

Several people rushed to kneel down and apologize to Tao Tao.

Some people felt that a simple apology wasn't sincere enough, so they actually kowtowed repeatedly until their foreheads turned red.

They were genuinely afraid.

They were afraid that the unassuming-looking uncle might attack them again.

"..."

Tao Tao stared blankly at the scene before her, feeling somewhat dazed and as if it were all unreal.

[Ding! Detected a significant fluctuation in the emotions of the character 'Tao Tao'!]

[Admiration: Uncle is amazing... +200 points!]

[Touched: It turns out... there really are people who would stand up for me... +200 points!]

[Confused: This older man is so kind to me... how can I repay him...? +300 points!]

[Congratulations, host! You have earned 700 points this time!]

[Current total points: 11100!]

"roll!"

Tao Tao yelled at the four of them, "Don't come near me again!"

"Yes, yes, yes!"

"Thank you, Grandma!"

"Thanks……"

The group felt as if they had been granted a pardon and scrambled away from the alley without daring to look back.

As for whether they will retaliate against Tao Tao in the future?

Believe it or not, when they see Tao Tao in the future, their first thought will not be revenge, but the injury they suffered today.

And Yang Hyun, who stood up for the girl!

They're all bullies who prey on the weak and fear the strong. They're not criminals, so a beating will make them behave.

After the group left, the alley returned to quiet.

"Thank you, uncle."

"Since my family passed away, you are the first person... willing to stand up for me."

Tao Tao raised her head and looked at Yang Xian with a complicated expression.

The image in my memory gradually blurred, while Yang Xian's ordinary middle-aged face gradually became clear.

"You're welcome. To be precise, it was your indomitable spirit that saved you."

Yang Xian walked slowly toward the girl.

If Tao Tao dares not put up any resistance.

No matter how hard Yang Xian tries, he will not be able to save the other party.

If a person believes that they deserve to be bullied, then they will only be bullied for the rest of their life.

Yang Xian made a casual move.

A gust of cold wind swept up the flyers on the ground, neatly placing them back into his hands.

This is another way to experience "The Ice Soul Divine Technique".

This is also a small technique Yang Xian uses to precisely control energy.

"Let's go back."

"They won't bother you anymore."

Yang Xian reached out and handed the flyer to the girl.

Seeing Yang Xian turn to leave, Tao Tao panicked and blurted out.

"etc!"

"Is there anything else?" Yang Xian paused in his steps.

"Why...why are you helping me?" Tao Tao mustered her courage. "Aren't you afraid...aren't you afraid they'll report you to the Martial Arts Association?"

Why should I help you?

"I just did something I didn't dare to do before."

"There are some things I wanted to do... so I did them."

"As for the association..." Yang Xian raised his eyebrows, "You little girl, you know quite a lot."

Without realizing it, he had completely immersed himself in the role of the middle-aged man.

Tao Tao's cheeks flushed slightly as she spoke softly, "I used to think about becoming a martial artist to support myself... Unfortunately, my martial arts talent is only E-level, and the association said... I'm not suited for martial arts."

Class E?

Yang Xian thought to himself, "That's still better than my F-level."

Although E-rank talent is higher than F-rank talent, the difference between the two is actually not that great.

It's just that E-class sounds a bit better than F-class.

"Uncle, you haven't answered my question yet!" Tao Tao stubbornly pressed on.

Yang Xian smiled gently:

"Don't worry, they most likely won't report it to the association."

"First of all, a group of people who don't follow the rules don't have the guts to seek the protection of the rules."

"Secondly, even if I did report them, so what? They were the bullies in the first place; the fault lies with them. If I stand up for them, I might even get praised by the association!"

The light in Tao Tao's eyes grew brighter and brighter:

"They even thought of that!"

"Uncle, you're both amazing and smart, you must have a great talent for martial arts, right?"

"Otherwise, I wouldn't have become a martial artist!"

Yang Xian: (→_→)

"Uh, it's alright..."

Yang Xian coughed lightly, decisively changing the subject: "Actually, you don't necessarily have to become a martial artist to support yourself. The martial arts profession is too dangerous! As long as you don't give up, there are still many possibilities in life."

God!

Yang Xian himself couldn't believe these words came out of his mouth.

Wearing an "uncle" mask, does he really think he's an old man?

Tao Tao was silent for a moment, and then slowly opened her mouth:

"Uncle, do you know?"

"After realizing that I was not suited for martial arts, I wanted to find someone to marry and live a peaceful life."

"But they disliked me because my parents died young, and said I brought bad luck to my family, so no one dared to want me."

Yang Xian didn't know why the girl wanted to tell him these things.

But out of politeness, he listened patiently.

"Finally, a matchmaker helped me find a marriage partner."

"But later, I found out that I was congenitally infertile and couldn't even have children."

"The last marriage proposal fell through too..."

After listening, Yang Xian fell completely silent. This girl's life was just too tragic!

It's fair to say they've been abandoned by the whole world.

Tao Tao's looks are not bad.

Even so, she did not give up on herself, nor did she choose to sell her body or earn dirty money.

Instead, they struggle to survive by handing out flyers, the most arduous method.

Yang Xian admired this stubbornness.

In his past life, he had seen too many girls choose to pursue a special profession because of temporary setbacks.

It is evident that the girl has received excellent family education and has very sound values.

"Uncle... are you listening?"

Tao Tao secretly glanced at Yang Xian.

However, there was not much change on the other person's face.

"Yes, I'm listening." Yang Xian's pupils refocused.

The girl's heart was beating very fast.

"My requirements for a partner aren't high. I don't want a dowry. I can do laundry and cook, I have no bad habits, and I'm still a virgin... All I need is food to eat; I'm easy to take care of!"

Tao Tao clenched her fists and looked up into Yang Xian's eyes:

"So... Uncle, will you marry me?"

This was the girl's first confession, and also the only way she could think of to repay Yang Xian.

After her family member passed away, Tao Tao became more accepting of many things.

She doesn't mind the other person's appearance; she just wants to find a home of her own.

Most importantly, I want to experience the warmth of home again, and the sense of security that comes with having someone to protect me.

Tao Tao has never considered herself a "cursed lone star"!

Young girls cannot have children, and older men, being martial artists, also cannot have children;

The young girl is unwanted, and the middle-aged man is of average appearance; they will probably have a hard time finding a partner as well.

In her opinion, the two of them were a match made in heaven!

Yang Xian: ? ? ?

No?

Why did you confess your feelings to me?

This is so sudden!
