If you want to survive after transmigrating, become the male protagonist's new mother.

Pei Yuening stood outside the entrance to the secret realm, holding Juanjuan and waiting for Ye Jiyun to come down.

He didn't wait long, but the person who arrived was not the right one.

A figure rushed from the direction of the referee's stand, creating a gust of wind as it landed.

Xin Tong held Dandan in her arms, her hair was a little messy from the wind, and she rushed to Pei Yuening.

"Little Rose! Here's your egg back!"

As she spoke, she shoved the egg into Pei Yuening's hand. The dark slime fell into Pei Yuening's arms and lazily slumped down for a moment.

"Your brother and the others have some official business to attend to, so I have to go too! We'll talk again later!"

Pei Yuening was stunned: "Oh, okay."

Xin Tong turned around and cupped Lin Huaijin's face in her hands.

"Mom won't be home for dinner tonight, baby, be a good boy/girl!"

She gave Lin Huaijin a big kiss on the cheek.

Lin Huaijin: "...Mother, you..."

Then Xin Tong was gone.

A burst of green light surged from beneath her feet, enveloping her and lifting her into the air, disappearing into the horizon in the blink of an eye.

Pei Yuening stood there, suddenly realizing that something was wrong.

He held Egg in his arms, and stared into the eyes of Ryan and Ollie.

He subconsciously tugged at the corner of his mouth: "Um... the weather's pretty nice..."

Neither of them responded; they were both looking at the egg in Pei Yuening's arms.

Egg lazily raised one hand: "Hello."

The air was silent for about three seconds.

Ollie was the first to speak, his voice a little stiff: "This succubus... is it the one from the Darklight Plains?"

Pei Yuening: "…………"

How embarrassing.

I want to run away.

Is it too late to run now?

The egg in his arms answered for him: "Hmm, it's me, the egg."

Pei Yuening closed her eyes.

It’s over.

He felt his back was soaked with cold sweat.

He had planned to explain things to them later, but he never expected the old grievances to be brought up in this way.

But the expected questions did not come.

Ryan stood a few steps away and watched him for a long time.

Then he walked over and gently tugged at Pei Yuening's sleeve.

"...Was it you?" Ryan asked. "Back in the Dark Plains, was it you who had it help us?"

Pei Yuening opened her eyes and met his gaze.

There was no life or resentment in Ryan's eyes, only a thin layer of water and an indescribable softness.

Pei Yuening opened her mouth: "I...I'm sorry, I didn't mean to let it use dream magic on you..."

"How could that be?" Ryan chuckled. "Back then, I always found it strange that a strange nightmare would suddenly appear, not only without harming us, but also creating such a dream."

We both thought it was a coincidence, and neither of us thought much of it.

He paused for a moment, then said, "So it was you."

Pei Yuening didn't know what to say.

He touched his nose: "I just... don't want you two to go down any more wrong paths because of misunderstandings..."

"We like each other anyway, and it's our destiny to be together."

Ryan loosened Pei Yuening's sleeve, then opened his arms and hugged Egg along with it.

"Thanks."

Pei Yuening froze for a moment, then raised her hand and patted his back: "...Oh, don't be so polite."

They are all their own daughters-in-law.

Ryan released him; his eyes were still red, but his expression had returned to normal.

He stood next to Ollie and nudged Ollie's arm lightly with his elbow.

Ollie remained silent.

He crossed his arms and turned his face slightly to the other side.

He pursed his lips several times, but the words stuck in his throat and wouldn't come out.

Ryan pinched him from behind.

He jolted awake by the pain before finally speaking.

"Th-thank you."

Pei Yuening thought she had misheard: "Huh?"

"I said thank you!" Ollie finally turned his face around, his whole face flushed. "Are you deaf?!"

Pei Yuening laughed out loud: "Okay, okay, I heard you, I heard you."

Ollie glared at him, but ultimately stopped arguing.

Lin Huaijin watched the whole thing from the sidelines, then rolled her eyes.

"You guys are even putting on a stage play now?"

Pei Yuening kicked him: "The kiss your mother gave you was the real touching moment."

Lin Huaijin: "…………"

Without turning his head, he said, "Go home."

……

The standoff in the dueling arena lasted for a long time.

Lin Yunjin personally reinforced the barrier. A transparent magical barrier rose from the ground, its patterns layered and climbing up to the dome, enveloping the entire dueling arena and ensuring that no matter how fierce the battle inside, it would not affect the outside.

The audience was very quiet.

Xin Tong sat in the first row with her legs crossed, while Lin Yunjin next to her was massaging her shoulders and back.

She had a plate of sunflower seeds next to her, which she was cracking open with a crackling sound.

The flower fairy perched at the highest point of the dome, her wings outstretched, radiating a soft, healing light.

The chanting echoed within the barrier, ready to heal the two below at any moment.

Qin Shuxing rushed in in a flurry of activity.

"How is it? How is it?!" he asked abruptly, plopped down next to Lin Yunjin, grabbed a handful of sunflower seeds and started cracking them open.

Lin Yun leaned back in his chair and raised his chin: "The second match went on for 84 rounds, and it's tied 1-1 now."

Qin Shuxing said "Oh" and cracked the melon seeds even more vigorously.

Inside the barrier, the gale and the light blades collided incessantly.

Luo Ren's figure weaved through the air, wind magic condensing into rapidly rotating streams of air around him, carving deep trenches into the ground wherever it passed.

Ye Jiyun's swordplay was steady and sharp, with light elements attached to the blade, each swing carrying a dazzling brilliance, deflecting Luo Ren's attacks one by one.

The two fought so fast that they were almost invisible, leaving only afterimages crisscrossing within the barrier, accompanied by howling winds and bursts of light.

After another collision, the two used the recoil to retreat simultaneously, stopping at opposite ends of the dueling arena.

Luo Ren looked at the person opposite him, his panting voice particularly clear in the empty dueling arena.

"Your Grace," he said, "I mean it."

Ye Jiyun snorted coldly.

"Yeah?"

He raised his hand and brushed away the remaining wind blades on the sword's edge. His voice was unhurried, yet carried an indescribable chill.

"True love? You think giving him a moment of pleasure and making vows of love is doing him a favor?"

"If love could silence all gossip, why are there so many unresolved grievances in the world?"

Luo Ren paused for a moment.

Ye Jiyun looked up at him: "He's being immature, but aren't you immature too?"

Luo Ren did not reply.

He gripped the wind blade in his hand, paused for two seconds, and then charged forward again.

The sky and earth collapsed within the barrier.

Outside the barrier, all is peaceful and serene.

Qin Shuxing finished cracking a plate of melon seeds, while Xin Tong crossed her legs and occasionally instructed Lin Yun to crack them harder.

As darkness fell, Qin Shuxing's head began to droop little by little.

He spilled the melon seeds he was holding all over the ground, and finally leaned on Lin Yunjin's shoulder.

Xin Tong yawned and leaned to the other side of Lin Yunjin.

Lin Yun sat speechlessly in the middle, with a head resting on each of his shoulders.

Qin Shuxing snored loudly and occasionally smacked her lips and talked in her sleep.

"Delicious... jelly..."

After an unknown amount of time, Qin Shuxing was still immersed in his dream of indulging in a feast.

His saliva dripped all over Lin Yunjin's shoulder, and finally he even went crazy, "Awoo!" and bit him.

"!!!!" Lin Yun let out a muffled groan of pain, unable to bear it any longer, and slapped him hard across the face: "Get up!"

Holy crap!

Qin Shuxing was startled and almost fell off her seat.

He abruptly wiped his mouth, his eyes wide as he looked around: "What time is it?!"
