"Speaking of which, my future husband seems to come from a prominent family as well."

Ye Wanqing recalled the message her father had sent her.

"However, he was an illegitimate child who was not recognized by the family."

An unacknowledged illegitimate child awakens a special bloodline power unique to his family.

It just so happened that Ye Wanqing's father discovered it, which led to this engagement where both parties got what they wanted.

Ye Wanqing didn't know which family her fiancé originally belonged to, but it certainly wasn't some small family.

The bloodline power that can reduce the experience required to level up a hero is truly terrifying.

How could a family of heroes with such a heritage be just a small family?

"My father said in the letter that the power of my fiancé's bloodline must be kept strictly confidential from the outside world..."

Ye Wanqing could understand the reason for doing so.

For a long-established family of heroes, the inheritance of the family's heroic bloodline is the true foundation for the family's survival and maintenance of its superior status, and it must never be allowed to be lost to the outside world.

Most hero families prohibit intermarriage with outsiders. If an unavoidable annulment of an engagement occurs, one party will use a secret method to sever the inheritance of the hero's bloodline within the family.

"That family definitely doesn't know about my fiancé."

A knowing glint flashed in Ye Wanqing's eyes.

"If they found out, they'd kidnap him and take his family back, even if it meant kidnapping him. How could my father possibly 'snag' such a good deal?"

"That old fox, Father, is probably only interested in recruiting talent for the family."

His real purpose was to steal the power of my fiancé's family's bloodline of heroes.

Although the Ye family also has bloodline power, it is insignificant compared to the bloodline power that can reduce the experience requirements for heroes to level up.

"Once we have a child, there is a high probability that the precious power of our bloodline will manifest in the next generation of the Ye family."

"At that time, this bloodline power will rightfully become a part of the Ye family's bloodline power."

Her father's true purpose was to use a marriage to "plunder" the elite bloodline.

"But this is definitely a good thing for me."

If her father's "switcheroo" plan succeeds, the top-tier bloodline with unlimited potential will truly integrate into the Ye family through her offspring.

This means that the core of power in the Ye family in the future will be controlled by her direct descendants for generations to come.

"At that time, I will not only be the wife of an S-class hero, but also the mother of an S-class hero."

"What I brought to the family was a ladder of advancement to a higher level."

What I'm 'contributing' is the possibility of enabling the Ye family to reach even greater heights.

"Aside from the first ancestor, which head of the Ye family over the past thousands of years has achieved as much as I have?"

"My father's contributions to the family can't compare to mine!"

Ye Wanqing became increasingly smug.

"So what if I never awaken to become a hero?"

"My contributions to the family are unparalleled!"

Ye Wanqing slightly raised her chin, her eyes gleaming with pride.

In an instant, she became even more radiant.

"So... there's something I need to deal with right away."

She took out her communicator, opened the contact list, and began deleting contacts from the list.

During her years in Gathering Place Thirteen, she appeared to be an innocent and pure white lotus flower.

But in reality, her life is still quite colorful.

These contacts were all "talented individuals" she had previously considered to have investment value.

Some offered money, some offered care, and some tried to win people over with affection.

Some even use her natural weapons to seduce others, relying on a kind of pleasurable game.

She has lived a very comfortable life these past few years.

But now things have changed, and these shady connections accumulated in Gathering Place Thirteen must be completely erased.

She cannot leave any evidence that might affect her image in her fiancé's eyes.

Her finger hovered over the "Delete" option, and then, without hesitation, she pressed it.

One after another, without the slightest reluctance.

After leaving Gathering Site No. 13, she will most likely never cross paths with these people again in her lifetime.

However, she paused slightly when she saw Sean's contact information:

"I originally thought that Sean was a smart man who knew how to hide his strength and wait until he was about to advance before being certified as an F-level hero."

That's why I gave him my contact information, thinking it might be worth investing in.

Ye Wanqing stared coldly at the string of numbers.

"But I never expected him to be such an idiot."

After advancing, Sean should be able to find out Ye Wanqing's identity with just a little inquiry.

She had even prepared the "gifts," the subsequent steps to win him over, and even a little "sweetness" as a reward, just waiting for this promising little fish to take the bait.

She even bought Sean a beautiful new nightgown and gave him a trendy hairstyle.

But after waiting all day, they still didn't receive any news from Sean.

Later, she asked around and found out that Sean had actually gone to the wilderness to hunt monsters all by himself.

Ye Wanqing sneered: "Hmph, who does he think he is? Does he really think he's a genius who can advance in three hours?"

"They faked things so much that even they believed it themselves."

"Are you hiding in the wilderness now because you're afraid of being exposed, or are you trying to 'farm' some respectable achievements to keep my act going?"

That man!

Having a little bit of cunning isn't a problem.

On the contrary, they are quite cute.

But if you're constantly scheming, then it's pointless.

This kind of short-sighted, tactless, and ungrateful "idiot" is not worth her any more effort.

"Even if we take a step back..."

"Even if Sean really is the kind of genius who can go from newly awakened to E-rank hero in just three hours, it doesn't matter."

After experiencing one dimensional battlefield, you can gain enough experience points to level up to level 10.

This only proves that Sean is a very capable fighter.

"But what's the use of just having enough to fight these days?"

She couldn't help but chuckle.

He's just a lowly thug.

For a brave person to grow and reach the top, resources, connections, and talent are essential.

These three things are indispensable.

"Take my fiancé for example. He has such a heaven-defying bloodline and his talent is astonishing, isn't it?"

"But so what? They still need to rely on our Ye family to obtain stable conditions and sufficient resources for growth."

this is the truth.

The harsh reality.

"Even the most talented commoner hero is nothing more than a pack of useful dogs to a family of heroes like ours."

An ordinary hero can only mobilize limited resources, but a long-established hero family, after thousands of years of continuous accumulation, has amassed a vast amount of wealth, secret techniques, connections, and a wealth of hidden knowledge.

This is what is called profound knowledge and experience, something that ordinary heroes could never imagine even if they spent their entire lives striving for it.

A warrior's talent determines where he starts, but resources and connections are what truly determine how far he can go and how high he can climb.
