Post-Marriage Agreement

"Are you Yang Fan?" A melodious female voice, sweet as a lark's song, came from behind Yang Fan.

Startled by the voice, he hurriedly turned around, only to see a woman with a haggard face.

Her voice sounded young, and her eyes were clear, but her skin was cracked in patches, making her look like an elderly person near the end of her life.

"This... young lady, I am indeed Yang Fan." Yang Fan politely bowed.

She carefully looked Yang Fan over from head to toe. Then, without saying a word, she turned and went upstairs.

Seeing this, Yang Fan was completely baffled.

"Is this how the Luo Family discusses investments? Where's my contract?" Yang Fan wondered.

Just as Yang Fan was feeling puzzled, a familiar figure came downstairs.

Upon seeing the man, Yang Fan hurriedly rose and bowed.

Yang Fan had seen this man before. He was Luo Chengfeng, the Luo Family elder who had sat on the high platform.

This was a true God. Now that he had invited Yang Fan to meet with him alone, how could Yang Fan dare be negligent?

"Investment contracts are usually handled by the major families' lawyers. Why is this Luo Family elder personally meeting me? Does he think that highly of me?" Yang Fan wondered inwardly.

Yang Fan knew his own worth. He had performed fairly well in this competition and had even caught the attention of the major families, but that did not mean he was worth an elder personally trying to recruit him.

"Little Yang, I may call you that, correct?" Luo Chengfeng wore a kindly expression.

"As you wish, Senior." Yang Fan felt rather flattered.

A God was standing before him and being so polite to him. No matter how he looked at it, it seemed strange.

"There are three contracts here. You may look through all of them." Luo Chengfeng snapped his fingers, and three documents landed before Yang Fan.

Yang Fan opened the first contract. Its terms were more or less the same as those offered by the Li Family. The only advantage was that there were fewer restrictions. He merely needed to be affiliated with the Luo Family, while resources produced in his Divine Kingdom would be sold to the Luo Family first at market price. There were no other restrictions.

Yang Fan understood that this was probably the best contract he had seen today. If nothing unexpected happened, he could sign it.

Although he wondered why there were two more contracts, Yang Fan still picked up the second one and opened it as usual.

A moment later, Yang Fan looked up at Luo Chengfeng in disbelief. "S-Senior, isn't there some mistake here?"

The terms of the second contract were so good that they seemed unreal.

There was a monthly subsidy of five million Faith Points, an annual dividend of thirty million from the Luo Family Genius Fund, an initial investment of one hundred million Faith Points immediately upon signing, and even a Grade B building.

Yang Fan suddenly felt as if a pie had fallen from the sky. Why did it feel like they were nurturing him as a direct member of the family?

"Little Yang, do you want to sign the second contract?"

"Yes." Yang Fan nodded seriously.

Even the cheapest Grade B building was worth more than five hundred million, and with his current status, he did not even have the authority to purchase one.

"The first contract is the treatment our Luo Family can offer you under normal circumstances. The second is what I managed to secure through my own efforts. If you want the second contract, then you must sign this third supplementary agreement." Luo Chengfeng pointed at the final document.

Yang Fan took a deep breath. After giving the man a suspicious glance, he opened the document.

The four words "Post-Marriage Agreement" came into view.

Yang Fan looked up at Luo Chengfeng, and his mind went blank for a moment.

"Am I really destined to become some rich woman's live-in son-in-law?"

Luo Chengfeng sighed softly. "The person you met just now was my granddaughter, Luo Rou. She is only two years older than you. Last year, she was ambushed by an alien Demigod during a university training assessment. Her Divine Kingdom is now filled with poisonous miasma, and she does not have much time left."

"Even with your status, you can't cure her?" Yang Fan could not help asking.

"There's no way. More precisely, the price is too great for me to bear alone. And Luo Rou's talent is not like that of her cousin, Luo Bing. The family cannot possibly pay such an enormous price for her."

"So my marriage partner is Miss Luo Rou?"

"That's right. This child's parents also died in a Divine Kingdom war against the alien races. Only she and I have had each other to rely on. Now that this has happened, before her Divine Kingdom completely collapses, she hopes to have a child."

"Why me?" Yang Fan pointed at his own nose.

"Your Divine Kingdom talent may be poor, but your comprehension is exceptional. With this investment, you have a strong chance of becoming a true God in the future. That would also mean finding a good father for her future child." Luo Chengfeng spoke slowly.

Looking at Yang Fan before him, Luo Chengfeng felt rather despondent.

Ever since his granddaughter's Divine Kingdom had been damaged, those young talents who had once pursued her had gradually drifted away. He could only find young men with decent talent but low status to marry into the family. Yang Fan happened to meet his requirements.

Yang Fan turned his gaze to the third post-marriage agreement and studied it carefully, afraid there might be some trap.

In less than fifteen minutes, Yang Fan had finished reading it.

Though it was called a post-marriage agreement, it did not place any restrictions on Yang Fan and Luo Rou's married life. Instead, it was more like an agreement on the division of assets.

As for its contents, they were not even related to the girl named Luo Rou, but rather concerned the future division of assets between their child and him, the father.

There were only two core terms. First, any child they had must take the surname Luo.

Perhaps fearing that Yang Fan might misunderstand, they had even added a note explaining that only then could the child become a member of the Luo Family and receive the Luo Family's resources and training.

Second, after Luo Rou died, two-thirds of the inheritance in her Divine Kingdom would go to the child, while the remaining one-third would be transferred to Yang Fan.

As for restrictions on Yang Fan, there were practically none. The only requirement was that they have a child within five years.

The agreement even thoughtfully added that if the man had fertility issues, the two could use genetic engineering for matching.

After reading the entire agreement, Yang Fan felt that refusing it would be against all reason.

Yang Fan took a deep breath and slowly said, "Senior, it seems I have no reason to refuse."

"Good. In that case, I will arrange for a moving company to bring your parents to the Yangcheng Villa District later. From now on, Rou'er will live with you all. Don't you dare let her suffer any grievance."

"Before that, may I meet Miss Luo Rou alone?" Yang Fan hurriedly interrupted.

"Of course. She hasn't left the virtual world. She's upstairs right now. Take these two contracts with you. Once you sign them, they will automatically take effect. You young people can talk. This old man has something to attend to, so I'll take my leave first." Luo Chengfeng smiled faintly and directly exited the virtual world.

In the Divine Kingdom Era, resources could buy anything. Let alone a Divine Lifeform like Yang Fan, with enough bride price, one could even marry a God.

It was merely a contractual marriage. With such enormous benefits falling into his lap, Yang Fan naturally would not let this excellent opportunity slip away.

When he arrived on the second floor, Luo Rou was sitting before a mirror, applying makeup. The thick powder on her face made her complexion look much better.

"Have you finished discussing things with my grandfather?" Luo Rou asked without turning around.

"We have. We can sign at any time." Yang Fan nodded.

Luo Rou turned around. "Then should I call you Husband now?"

Yang Fan's face reddened slightly at her words. "We're both young. There's no need for that."

This was not a one-night encounter at Heavenly Fragrance Haven. Once he signed the documents, they would become legally married under Federation law, even a community of interests surpassing that of parents and children.
