In the quiet courtyard of Yunlan Sect's main peak, silence was broken only by the rustle of leaves swaying in the mountain breeze.
Suddenly, a mechanical voice rang inside Ye Chen's mind.
"Ding! Host has been detected without offspring. Please marry and have children as soon as possible."
Ye Chen, lying lazily on the bed, frowned in annoyance.
"Have children? Already nagging me about this? Don't rush me, system! Can't you see I'm working hard?" he muttered, rolling his eyes.
Ye Chen was not a native of this world.
He originally came from Blue Star, but after an inexplicable twist of fate, he awoke in the Dou Qi Continent, inside the mighty Jia Ma Empire.
He was reborn as a direct descendant of the prestigious Mittel family in the imperial capital, carrying the name Mittel Ye Chen.
Because of his transmigrator's soul, his spiritual strength was far beyond ordinary children.
His talent was astonishing, not inferior to the so-called geniuses of his generation.
At the young age of ten, Ye Chen had already broken through to the eighth stage of Dou Qi, instantly becoming the Mittel family's brightest prodigy.
His grandfather, the family's second elder, valued him deeply.
Through great effort, he arranged for Ye Chen to join the Yunlan Sect, the most sacred cultivation holy land in the empire.
There, Ye Chen's extraordinary speed in cultivation soon drew the attention of Yunlan Sect's Sect Master....Yun Yun. Amazed by his potential, Yun Yun personally took him in as her first disciple.
Time passed quickly. A few years later, Yun Yun accepted a second disciple, none other than Nalan Yanran, the daughter of the Nalan clan and a central figure in the original story Ye Chen remembered from the novel.
When Ye Chen first met her, he couldn't help but feel complicated.
In the book, she is the one who will break off her engagement with Xiao Yan and set off a chain of events leading to Yunlan Sect's downfall… And now, she's my junior sister?
Life was truly unpredictable.
Ye Chen grew into a handsome young man, calm yet full of vigor.
His natural talent and charm made him the object of admiration for many female disciples, but none were as devoted to him as Nalan Yanran.
Day after day, she followed behind him, calling out, "Senior Brother, Senior Brother!" Her admiration was obvious to everyone, and eventually, even Ye Chen found it difficult to resist her affection.
Time flew by. Ye Chen had now been in Yunlan Sect for over five years, and his sixteenth birthday was approaching.
But the closer he came to that day, the more restless his heart became.
According to the timeline he remembered, very soon, Nalan Yanran would visit the Xiao family to annul her engagement with Xiao Yan.
That single event would set Xiao Yan on his path of revenge, leading to the eventual destruction of Yunlan Sect.
This thought left Ye Chen troubled.
Three days ago, while practicing a high-level fighting technique, his mind had wandered with these worries, and he ended up injuring himself.
Though it was only a minor wound, it was a clear sign that his emotions were affecting his cultivation.
Ye Chen clenched his fists.
I am Yun Yun's most trusted disciple now, and there's even a chance I might inherit the position of Sect Master in the future.
I absolutely cannot let the Yunlan Sect be destroyed like in the original timeline.
But then another bitter thought followed.
What can I do alone against Xiao Yan, the Son of Destiny? He has Yao Lao guiding him… even with my talent, I'll eventually be suppressed.
Should he try to stop Nalan Yanran from breaking the engagement?
That was impossible.
Why would he ever hand his beloved junior sister to another man?
Even if the heavens demanded it, he would not allow it.
Just as Ye Chen was drowning in these conflicting thoughts, the heavens finally showed him favor.
After fifteen long years of waiting, his golden finger....the cheat every transmigrator should have.....finally arrived.
"Ding! The Many Children, Many Blessings System has been activated."
Ye Chen froze.
"…What kind of name is that?"
He quickly learned the system's rules:
As long as he had children, he would receive rewards from the system.
The more children he had, the greater and rarer the rewards would be.
At first, Ye Chen's mind went blank.
"…Wait, so I just need to… have kids? That's all?"
After a moment of shock, he nearly laughed out loud.
Isn't this turning me into some kind of stud pig? Strength in exchange for children?
But when the absurdity passed, Ye Chen accepted it with surprising calm.
Fine, so be it. As long as it makes me stronger, what's wrong with having children? It's not like I mind being surrounded by beautiful women anyway.
And naturally, his very first target came to mind.
His junior sister.....Nalan Yanran.
The two already had deep affection for each other, so it would not be difficult to take the next step.
That day, Ye Chen slowly rose from bed. His injuries had healed, but he pretended otherwise to attract his junior sister's care.
Sure enough, just as he was thinking about her, the sound of light footsteps echoed outside the courtyard.
He quickly lay back down, feigning weakness.
