The Super Martial Alliance squad quickly confirmed the identities of Ye Chuan and Wang Yanran. As the captain of the squad, he respectfully saluted and said, "Greetings, Mr. Ye, Miss Wang." Though his gaze also lingered on the lolis beside Ye Chuan, perhaps because he now understood their identities, he wasn’t as shocked that children could slay monsters with a single strike.
"Is this kind of thing common? Monsters running loose in the city?" Ye Chuan asked. After all, having monsters rampaging through the streets was quite dangerous, wasn’t it?
"No, the urban areas are relatively stable as long as no spatial rifts appear, but occasionally, some monsters do slip into the city," the captain explained. "Our apologies."
Wang Yanran added, "At present, the Alliance can only track the targets as quickly as possible and dispatch squads to eliminate the monsters."
"And as the monsters grow stronger, conventional small-caliber bullets have become ineffective."
Since the appearance of the spatial rifts, the monsters' power had been steadily increasing.
The Super Martial Alliance squad originally intended to retrieve the monster’s corpse, but Bai Qianshuang’s sword energy had shredded it to pieces, leaving them with only some blood samples to collect before departing.
"What’s troubling you?" Ye Chuan noticed Wang Yanran still deep in thought after they left and couldn’t help but ask.
"I’m just wondering if there’s a better way to protect the people in the city," Wang Yanran replied.
"There might be a way," Ye Chuan said.
"A way? Really?"
"There is. If it’s just about dealing with monsters, setting up an array would suffice."
Given Ye Chuan’s current abilities, he could create an array large enough to envelop the entire city. However, maintaining such an array would require a considerable expenditure of spirit stones.
"An array… would that really work?" Wang Yanran had no frame of reference.
"Hmm… I’ll think about it some more," Ye Chuan mused.
If the Super Martial Alliance squads could handle the monsters, deploying an array might be a bit too extravagant.
……
Setting the matter aside for now, Ye Chuan took the little ones back home.
As soon as they arrived, Lan Xiaoke and Ye Yue started roughhousing like a pair of kids—while Bai Qianshuang sat on the sofa, quietly munching on snacks.
Ke Ning, on the other hand, was intensely fascinated by her own shrunken state and even wanted to draw her own blood for testing.
Over the next few days, none of them showed any signs of returning to normal, remaining tiny. Meanwhile, Lilith had gone missing, not returning home for several days. Strangely, there wasn’t even a record of her in the tenant logs.
"Hum, hum~" Luo Xi hadn’t gone to school these past few days, using "not feeling well" as an excuse to stay home. Though her homeroom teacher found her unusually childish voice over the phone a bit odd, they still approved her leave request.
Now perched on Ye Chuan’s lap, her short legs swinging slightly, Luo Xi hummed to herself while Ye Chuan held her with one arm, his eyes fixed on his phone.
"Chuan Chuan," Luo Xi suddenly spoke up.
"Hmm?"
"Aren’t you feeling a bit… frustrated?" She shook her ponytail, tilting her head up with a mischievous grin.
"……" Seeing the playful glint in her eyes, Ye Chuan didn’t know how to respond. After all, with their current size, what used to be (i) had now become ·i·.
So even if Ye Chuan was burning with desire, there wasn’t much he could do. At most, he could only rely on verbal teasing.
After pinching Luo Xi’s cheek, he suddenly asked, "What about your parents? Do they know you’ve shrunk?"
"They do~" Luo Xi giggled. Though her mom and dad were shocked, perhaps after the spatial rift incidents, people had grown more accustomed to bizarre occurrences.
She turned around and nestled into Ye Chuan’s chest. "Hehe, Chuan Chuan is so big now. Feels so safe hugging you like this."
"Not usually?"
"It’s different, hehe~" Her face flushed slightly as she happily closed her eyes. "This is actually kinda nice."
Watching the tiny Luo Xi curled up in his arms, Ye Chuan lightly patted her bottom. "Alright, don’t fall asleep now."
"~~"
Nighttime.
Ye Chuan was in his room organizing his tools, but his bed was already occupied by several small pillows.
Knock knock knock. The sound of knocking came from the door. Without even looking up, as if accustomed to it, he said, "Come in."
Click. The door opened.
A white-haired loli walked in, clutching a small pillow. "Ye Chuan, I’m coming in~"
"Weren’t you playing games?"
"Sleepy! Want Ye Chuan to tuck me in." Lan Xiaoke tossed her pillow onto the bed, climbed up, and sprawled beside him. "Hehe."
Ye Chuan reached out and ruffled her soft white hair, making her squint like a contented little animal.
"How do you want me to tuck you in?" he asked patiently.
"Tell me a story!"
"Once upon a time, there was a mountain. On the mountain stood a temple. In the temple, an old monk was telling a story to a young monk… and the story went like this—once upon a time, there was a mountain, on the mountain stood a temple—"
"Boring! I wanna hear about the underclassman beating up the mean senior!"
"Don’t know that one."
"Ugh~"
Ye Chuan sat cross-legged on the bed while Lan Xiaoke lay beside him. With just a few gentle pats on her back, she quickly dozed off.
"Guess even her energy has limits," he murmured, pulling the blanket over her.
Another knock came at the door.
This time, a black-haired loli entered. Her eyes immediately landed on Lan Xiaoke, who was curled up like a purring kitten, before she declared expressionlessly,
"Ye Chuan, hold me while I sleep."
Without waiting for a response, she climbed onto the bed, squeezing in front of Lan Xiaoke to claim the spot closest to Ye Chuan, her dark eyes fixed on him.
Before Ye Chuan could say anything, Luo Xi and Ye Yue arrived as well. A little later, Ke Ning also showed up.
"Everyone’s here, huh?" Luo Xi smiled.
"Brother’s spot is already taken…" Ye Yue pouted, her gaze shifting to Ye Chuan. She’d just have to settle for the spot closest to him.
"Haah~" Ke Ning, meanwhile, climbed onto the bed and immediately dozed off without a care.
With the little ones now occupying his bed, Ye Chuan had no choice but to adjust his position to make room.
The lights went out.
Lying on the bed, Ye Chuan stared at the ceiling as moonlight filtered through the window, casting a faint glow in the darkness.
Luo Xi was on his left, Bai Qianshuang and Lan Xiaoke on his right, Ye Yue sprawled on his stomach, and Ke Ning curled up in a corner.
It was like his bed had been stuffed with plush toys—tiny and adorable.
"How am I supposed to sleep like this?" Ye Chuan sighed.
……
……
Ah, whatever.
Gently wrapping his arms around them, he whispered tenderly, "Goodnight~"

ing gift was a patch of barren land, and disciples were all picked up along the way. He spent fifty years diligently building three "ramshackle little sects," thinking he could finally live a carefree life relying on his disciples. But right at the fifty-year mark, he was suddenly swept away by a spatial rift and exiled to the Chaos Desolation, the Disorderly Ruins. There was no spiritual energy there, only slaughter. Relying on the cultivation feedback from his disciples, Gu Changyuan hacked his way through a sea of blood for eleven hundred years. When the system finally fished him back out, he discovered the ramshackle little sects he'd built back then had developed a rather... unusual style. Hold on... I vanished for a thousand years, so how did my ramshackle little sects become holy lands?!
for mindless slaughter, this isn't for you.] My name is Ye Shu, and I'm a transmigrator. It seems I'm supposed to be the protagonist, but that feels pretty unlikely. This world has been invaded by a system. The antagonists on the other side have suddenly become pure, flawless saints. The female leads have been force-fed the so-called "original plot," making them think they've been reborn. Now, everyone thinks I'm scum. Including the old lady in my ring. And here I am, in the Monster Beast Mountain Range, braising pork. To put my situation in perspective— It's as if, the moment Xiao Yan stepped into the Monster Beast Mountain Range, the Soul Emperor already knew he would become the Flame Emperor, and Yao Lao had been turned to the enemy's side. I have nothing right now. Oh wait, that's not true. I do have a white-haired loli child-bride who's the Heavenly Dao, and her only skill is acting cute. So, tell me guys... what are my chances of making it to the end?
