Yunlan Sect : Main Peak Courtyard
A soft breeze rustled the leaves as Ye Chen sat alone in the quiet courtyard of the Yunlan Sect.
He was just beginning to relax when a mechanical voice echoed in his mind:
> "Ding! Host currently has no offspring. Please marry and bear children soon to preserve your legacy!"
The voice was cold, emotionless
like a robot nagging inside his head.
Ye Chen sighed heavily, rubbing his temples in frustration.
"Again with this nonsense? I already told you
I'm working on it!" he muttered to himself.
This was the so called "Heavenly Offspring System", which had bound itself to Ye Chen ever since he had transmigrated into this world.
Yes
Ye Chen wasn't a native of this land. Once, he had been a perfectly ordinary man on Earth. But one day, he mysteriously woke up in the world of Battle Through the Heavens (Dou Po Cangqiong), reborn as a descendant of the powerful Miter Clan.( As per jama empire)
His new name: Miter Ye Chen.
Due to his transmigration, his spiritual strength was enhanced beyond that of an average cultivator. While not on par with the freakish talent of Xiao Yan, he was still considered a prodigy far outshining his peers.
By the age of ten, Ye Chen had already reached the eighth stage of Dou Qi, earning the title of the Miter Clan's youngest genius.
Recognizing his potential, his grandfather the Second Elder of the Miter Clan
arranged for Ye Chen to enter the Yunlan Sect, the most prestigious cultivation force in the Jia Ma Empire.
His talent did not go unnoticed. Within a year, Ye Chen caught the eye of Sect Master Yun Yun herself and became her first personal disciple.
Two years later, when Ye Chen was just twelve, Yun Yun accepted another disciple Nalan Yanran, a noble young girl with a powerful background. She was the same girl tied to the infamous Three-Year Engagement with Xiao Yan in the original story.
Ye Chen knew all of this because he had read the novel.
He remembered clearly how things played out.
And yet... fate had its own plans.
Now, in this world, Yun Yun was his master, and Nalan Yanran was his junior sister.
Back then, as a reader, he had once admired both women. But now that they were part of his life real and breathing his heart began to shift.
Especially when it came to Nalan Yanran.
From the moment they met, she had been unusually attached to him. She called him "Senior Brother" with such sweetness that it made his heart skip a beat.
She followed him around the sect like a little shadow, always eager to train with him, learn from him, and more often than not cook for him.
And Ye Chen? He didn't resist.
As the years passed, that innocent companionship slowly transformed into something more tender, more complicated.
Now, five years had gone by since Ye Chen entered Yunlan Sect.
He was about to turn sixteen, the age of adulthood in this world.
But a shadow loomed in his heart.
"If the plot continues as it did in the novel, Nalan Yanran will soon break off her engagement with Xiao Yan… and that single act will eventually lead to the downfall of Yunlan Sect."
Ye Chen clenched his fists at the thought.
He was Yun Yun's most trusted disciple
her likely heir, and the future successor of the sect. How could he stand by and let everything fall apart?
But what could he possibly do? He was still just a Dou Practitioner, while Xiao Yan had the help of Yao Lao, a Dou Zun level spirit guiding his every step.
The difference in their strength was like the gap between heaven and earth.
"Should I try to convince Nalan Yanran not to break off the engagement?"
Even as he considered it, the idea left a bitter taste in his mouth.
"That would mean letting her go to Xiao Yan willingly… no way. She's mine now."
Just as he was lost in thought, a soft voice broke the silence.
> "Senior Brother~ Are you awake?"
Ye Chen's expression changed at once. A playful smirk tugged at his lips.
Speak of the little devil…
He hurriedly lay back down on the bed, pretending to be weak.
The door creaked open, and a young girl stepped inside, her white robes fluttering gently with each step.
Her waist was slender, her skin smooth as jade. Her delicate face was framed by soft black hair, and her pink lips curved into a warm smile as she carried a small wooden food box.
Nalan Yanran.
"Senior Brother, how are you feeling today?" she asked with concern, setting the food box on the table beside him.
Ye Chen gave a light cough and leaned back dramatically.
"Still a bit weak… but seeing you makes me feel a little better."
Her face flushed a lovely pink. She opened the food box and lifted the lid with a flourish.
"I made you chicken soup!" she said cheerfully. "It's made from a Yuncai Chicken, raised at Yunlan Mountain by Deacon Ye himself!"
Ye Chen raised a brow in surprise.
"You mean… the one he spent two and a half years raising?"
Nalan Yanran giggled behind her hand.
"I borrowed it. He just doesn't know yet."
Ye Chen couldn't help but chuckle.
"You're going to get me in serious trouble one day."
She ignored his warning, picking up a spoon and gently blowing on it before bringing it to his lips.
"Here, try it. Careful, it's hot."
Ye Chen took the spoonful and blinked in surprise.
"This is really good. It's perfect."
Nalan Yanran beamed with pride.
"Then I'll cook for you every day from now on."
Ye Chen smiled faintly, his heart softening at her words. But deep down, his thoughts were already spinning.
....
Maybe many people have read this novel before, but I still think it's worth reading again. I'd say it's about 60% fanfiction and 40% my own original creation."
