BTTH: The More Children I Have The Stronger I Become

ShareThe night was thick with silence, broken only by the occasional rustle of leaves in the gentle breeze.

The soft orange glow of the campfire flickered, casting dancing shadows across the forest floor.

The flames wrapped around the young woman like a halo, her figure outlined in warmth against the encroaching darkness.

From afar, she resembled a solitary purple lotus blooming quietly in the mortal world-pure, graceful, untouched by the grime of earthly struggles.

As she moved closer, each step deliberate and unhurried, Ye Chen finally saw her clearly.

Her face was delicate yet carried an air of unshakable composure, her features flawless like jade sculpted by the heavens.

Her eyes, deep and clear as a mountain spring, held a chilling indifference that contrasted sharply with the fire's warmth.

Even in the flickering light, her beauty was undeniable-radiant yet distant, like the moon hanging high above, untouchable.

Ye Chen couldn't help but think: What a rare beauty... and in a small city like Wutan, no less!

Though she was still young, her elegance and poise hinted at a future where she would grow into a woman.

capable of captivating nations with just a glance.

There was an innate nobility about her, an unspoken authority that made it clear she was no ordinary girl.

Strange... why wasn't someone like her mentioned in the original story I know?

He narrowed his eyes, watching her carefully.

She wasn't here by chance-her calm, purposeful stride made that much obvious. Whoever she was, she had come for him.

Then his gaze caught something

else-a faint ripple in the darkness. behind her, like a shadow detaching itself from the night.

A tall, black-clard figure moved soundlessly, blending seamlessly with the surroundings.

If not for his sharpened senses, honed through years of survival, Ye Chen would never have noticed it until it was too late.

The moment he recognized it, his pupils shrank. It's him

That same shadow had broken into his room earlier, striking him down in an instant.

No sound, no warning-just the sudden, searing pain at the back of his head before darkness swallowed him, Whoever this person was, their strength was terrilling.

And now... this deadly shadow followed the purple-clad girl like a silent guardian, his presence barely detectable.

That meant her background was anything but ordinary. But why target. him?

The girl stopped in front of him, the firelight casting half her face in

flickering gold while the other half remained shrouded in darkness.

Her expression was serene, but her eyes.... they were cold, sharp, carrying a trace of something far more dangerous than mere anger.

Ye Chen suddenly understood. Purple clothes. Stunning beauty. A hidden protector.

There was only one person. she could be Xiao Xun'er, the hidden jewel of the ancient Xiao Clan..

She looked at the bound Ye Chen, a flicker of memory flashing in her gaze -the scene of Xiao Yan, her beloved "brother," being mocked and humiliated by this man earlier that day.

Her lips curved into the faintest, coldest sme.

"Dare to humiliate Xiao Yan like that?

I, Xiao Xun'er, will never let you go."

Ye Chen felt a chill run down his spine. So this is about Xiao Yan....

Keeping his voice steady, he said, 'I am Ye Chen of the Miteer family. May I know why you've come for me, Miss?"

Xiao Xun'er's gaze swept over him once, her voice light and indifferent-yet each word carried the weight of a

blade.

"A mere Miteer family member is not even worthy of knowing my name."

Ye Chen's brow twitched. His first reaction was anger-how arrogant! But there was something strange about her tone. She wasn't boasting, she

spoke as if stating an irrefutable truth.

It was as if, in her eyes, the Miteer family truly was insignificant.

That made Ye Chen uneasy. In the Jia Ma Empire, almost no one dared to openly belittle the Miteer family.

Unless

Yes... only Xiao Xun'er could speak this way.

And the shadow behind her... that had to be Ling Ying, the Dou Huang protector who never left her side.

Ye Chen clenched his teeth. So a Dou Huang attacked me? Truly honorable.....

Everything fell into place-this was revenge for Xiao Yan's broken. engagement earlier today.

Xiao Xun'er studied him for a long moment, her gaze unreadable, before turning her head slightly.

"Uncle Ying, cripple his cultivation."

Ye Chen's chest tightened. She was. going to ruin him-turn him into a useless cripple, just like Xiao Yan had been.

Her reasoning was clear: Xiao Yan's humiliation came from weakness.

If Ye Chen suffered the same fate, she would consider it fair.

Ye Chen's eyes hardened. This woman. for Xiao Yan, she's willing to go this far.

Ling Ying stepped forward, his presence like a suffocating shadow pressing down on Ye Chen.

The air grew heavier, the firelight dimming as if even the flames dared not oppose him.

"Wait!" Ye Chen's voice cut through the oppressive silence.

"If you want to destroy me, at least tell me why. I deserve to hear it from your mouth."

Even as he spoke, his mind slipped into the system's interface, his will ready to activate the Nine-Star Dou zon Fenarionca Card moment's notice. He wouldn't go down without a fight.

Xiao Xun'er tilted her head slightly, a hint of surprise flickering in her eyes. Even at this point, he didn't beg for mercy.

She, of course, didn't reveal her identity. The Miteer family was still a power she had no reason to provoke openly-but in the shadows, she would make sure Ye Chen paid for his arrogance.

The fire crackled between them, its light flickering wildly as if sensing t impending storm.

The air was thick with tension-one move from Ling Ying, and Ye Chen's fate could change forever.

And yet... Ye Chen's fingers twitched, his lips curling into a cold smirk.

If they thought he would just lie down and accept this... they were sorely mistaken.
