I Want to Have Your Babies

"Ha ha ha, I'd better pass with these old bones of mine."

Hui-Li-Yang Wu laughed and waved his hand. "It is already late today. Young friend Lu has traveled a long way, and our clan must not neglect our hospitality. How about you dine and rest first? Tomorrow, this old man will arrange for some experts to spar with you."

"Then I'll gladly accept. But let me say this first—I have quite an appetite."

Lu Li said with a smile. He understood that things had to be done step by step. He had not come to the Wu Clan to challenge their school, but to learn their techniques. He could not refuse the clan head's courtesy.

Although the Wu Clan was an assassin family, they adhered to principles and respected the strong. Since he had defeated Wu Rei'an head-on, they could not possibly resort to underhanded means against him.

Poisoning his food was unlikely, though they might let him witness some assassination techniques.

"There is still some time before the meal, and this old man has clan matters to attend to, so I will not keep Young Friend Lu company..."

As Hui-Li-Yang Wu spoke, he swept his gaze through the crowd before finally settling on Wu Fengshui. "Fengshui, take Young Friend Lu around the clan grounds first. Remember, Young Friend Lu is an honored guest of our clan. Do not let anyone disturb him."

Wu Fengshui nodded. She was still shaken. Just moments ago, she had thought her bastard brother was about to be beaten to death.

With the battle over and Hui-Li-Yang Wu having spoken, the gathered clan members quickly dispersed. Before long, only Lu Li and Wu Fengshui remained.

"Come, Mr. Lu. I'll show you around. Our clan grounds are quite large."

Wu Fengshui led the way.

"They certainly are. Assassination really must be a profitable line of work..."

Lu Li remarked. The Wu Clan not only possessed an entire city; even their core territory was immense. It was filled with traditional Japanese buildings, all constructed and furnished with premium materials.

Besides indoor dojos, there were also plenty of outdoor training grounds. Even now, with the Setting Sun slanting low, quite a few people were still sparring.

"Not exactly. We simply cooperate with many companies..."

Wu Fengshui hesitated before speaking. "Um... thank you."

Lu Li was somewhat puzzled, then understood. "Oh, no need to thank me. I said I wasn't here to kill anyone. Even if you hadn't called out, I wouldn't have kept hitting him."

In truth, even if he had killed Rei'an in that fight, the Wu Clan probably would not have done much to him, given their way of doing things. It had been a fair spar, and he had already held back several times.

But he had come to the Wu Clan to learn the secret technique of Release. If he killed their top genius, learning that skill would definitely be out of the question.

Just as Lu Li was considering how to bring up a "martial arts exchange" over dinner, he suddenly sensed something. So I get to experience assassination techniques this quickly? Interesting.

He abruptly sidestepped, dodging the attack from behind. Then he reached out with one hand and accurately seized the throat of the figure attacking him from the darkness.

The instant his hand made contact, Lu Li instinctively applied force. But the soft, warm sensation in his grasp differed from what he had expected, causing him to freeze for a moment.

In that instant of distraction, a pair of long bandage-wrapped legs coiled around his neck from both sides. At the same time, the person stretched out both hands, grabbed the clothes on Lu Li's chest, and strained to pull herself closer.

Using the faint light of the Setting Sun, Lu Li saw her clearly this time. She was a girl of sixteen or seventeen, dressed in a sailor uniform—her school uniform—with long dark-purple hair. Her pretty face held a pair of black eyes whose white pupils shone with excited light.

"I want to bear your children!"

That was what the girl said.

Lu Li: ???

By instinct, he tightened his grip further, turning the girl's face red.

"Mr. Lu, don't!"

Wu Fengshui hurriedly shouted from the side. "She's the clan head's great-granddaughter!"

Bang—

Lu Li did not tighten his hold enough to break the girl's fragile neck. Instead, he flung her away, sending her crashing into the wooden wall of the corridor.

Garuda showed none of the fear one might expect after brushing so close to death. She coughed twice and rose to her feet, ignoring Wu Fengshui's attempt to support her. Her eyes still gleamed with excitement as she looked at Lu Li.

"Grandfather once said that bearing strong children is the main family's duty."

Her gaze wandered over Lu Li's body. "Lu Li, you're very strong. I'm Garuda. Be my husband!"

Lu Li's brain was still half-frozen. It took him two seconds to recover from his shock.

He knew Garuda. She was Hui-Li-Yang Wu's great-granddaughter and one of the Wu Clan's rare geniuses. Despite her young age, she could already Release 85% of her potential.

This high school girl's way of thinking was rather peculiar. She seemed to have an inexplicable obsession with bearing children for strong men. In the original story, she had also fallen in love with the "protagonist," Tokita Ohma, at first sight and pestered Ohma for a long time.

What a miscalculation...

Lu Li had forgotten that it was summer vacation. It was perfectly normal for Garuda, this troublesome girl who attended school in Tokyo, to return home. And he had just displayed strength capable of utterly crushing Rei'an right in front of her...

Lu Li rubbed his brow with his left hand and extended his right in a stopping gesture. "Wait... Don't pounce on me!"

He had no desire to get involved with an underage girl in a mission world. It would be bad in every possible sense.

Women would only slow down the speed of his sword draw!

After thinking it over, Lu Li lowered his hand and released his aura and killing intent without restraint. "Don't come near me. Next time, getting thrown into a wall won't be the worst of it."

He figured that if he frightened the girl a little, she would back off in the face of difficulty.

But Garuda's behavior also made him realize a problem. If he made a deal with the Wu Clan, they would not make some excessive demand of him, would they?

The Wu Clan was quite fond of marrying strong people and borrowing their seed. They used this to improve the clan's Bloodline and maintain their prosperity over the long term.

Thinking about it carefully, a young and powerful martial artist like him seemed to be in danger of losing his chastity in a place like this!

"Lu Li, let's have children!"

While Lu Li was thinking, Garuda cried out. Her clothes flew into the air, revealing her still immature but beautifully curved body. Then she sprang toward Lu Li.

Bang—

The next moment, Garuda felt the world spin around her. She was slammed into the wall upside down.

Lu Li looked at Garuda with a headache, then glanced at Wu Fengshui. "How does your Wu Clan educate its children?"

Wu Fengshui looked somewhat embarrassed. She walked over and helped Garuda up. "Garuda, the clan head said you cannot harass Lu Li. Calm down first."

"Harass him? I'm not harassing him. I just want to have children with him."

Garuda's innocent, puzzled expression left even Wu Fengshui at a loss.

The Wu Clan did indeed have such a tradition. To be honest, Wu Fengshui could also guess the clan head's intentions. A powerful man like Lu Li had arrived, so naturally they had to "entertain" him properly.

A man who could defeat Rei'an had come to them. If they failed to leave behind a seed, it would truly be a terrible waste.

Wu Fengshui had even been thinking that, since she was the one responsible for showing Lu Li around, perhaps she ought to be the one entertaining him tonight as well.

But she had not expected Garuda to charge in so boldly and confess her love so directly.

The current situation was bad in every sense. First, Lu Li appeared deeply repulsed by Garuda's "sexual harassment." Second, if word of this reached the clan head, there would probably be another uproar.

Clan head Hui-Li-Yang Wu was famously obsessed with his great-granddaughter; practically everyone in the Wu Clan knew it. If he learned that his precious great-granddaughter wanted to have children with Lu Li, he would likely fly into a rage.

"Miss Fengshui, I'm a little hungry. Could we eat first?"

Lu Li changed the subject. It was not as if he practiced the Indestructible Vajra Boy Skill, but he had been obsessed with martial arts since childhood. Later, he had devoted himself to avenging his Master and Senior Apprentice-Sister, so he had remained rather disciplined in his private life.

His Master had told him that, in this age ruled by corporations, relationships between men and women outside were chaotic. It was the result of the beastly side of human nature being magnified. As martial artists, they had to be able to control their desires, or they would eventually become nothing more than beasts.

It was not that they could not enjoy love between men and women. Rather, they had to treat it seriously and not fool around indiscriminately.

Thus, Lu Li had always been highly self-disciplined. The long road ahead was enough with martial arts by his side—at least, that was what he believed for now.
