"But you don't have to worry too much. As long as you don't cross the bottom line of those old fossils, they're actually quite easy to talk to. Worst-case scenario, you've got this guy here to protect you. Things won't get out of hand."
'Heh. I don't feel comforted in the slightest.'
"So, what is this… 'bottom line' you mentioned, Miss Duan?"
"Offspring. Genes."
'…What???'
"To put it simply, if you two were to marry in the future, you'd have to be sufficiently intelligent and capable, and you must be able to produce a new generation of exceptional intellect for the Duan Family."
Su Yuhan would have been better off without Duan Sihui's explanation. Now she was just speechless. 'What kind of backward, feudal clan is this, demanding a new generation of exceptional intellect? What am I, some goddess descended from the heavens? Am I supposed to control the sky and the earth, and now also whether my future children are brilliant or dull?'
