East Wasteland, North Domain.
The Kingdom of Dayu, Dongxiang Village.
Ye Fan awakened in a start, sitting upright on his bed.
Looking around at the unfamiliar surroundings, Ye Fan was completely baffled.
Didn't he remember being killed by a massive vehicle while trying to save someone? How was he still alive and well?
The next moment, unfamiliar memories flooded into Ye Fan's mind. It was a spiritual fusion!
Had he transmigrated? And into a world that allowed cultivation, as the legends said.
The Dayu Kingdom was established on martial might, and its founding ancestors were rumored to be Immortals.
Of course, it was just a rumor, not a single person could confirm the existence of Immortals in this world.
However, the Martial Path did exist.
Three realms of the Martial Path: Body Fortification, Post-Heaven, and Pre-Heaven.
Pre-Heaven experts could single-handedly oppose an entire army.
Of course, all these had nothing to do with Ye Fan.
Ye Fan was merely a widowed father who single-handedly raised his two sons.
Without any background or assets, plus already being in his thirties, he had no connection with the Martial Path.
In the army of transmigrators, there might not be even two who found themselves in such circumstances.
This was truly pitiful.
"Little Fan, Little Fan, do you want a wife? If you do, I can bring one to you," a shout came in from outside. Ye Fan recalled, this should be the voice of his neighbor, Wang Dong.
Quickly, the front door of Ye Fan's house was pushed open.
"Little Fan, you've been alone for quite some time. Little Tian and Little Hai are not so little anymore. You should consider your own future too."
Wang Dong poured himself a cup of water and said to Ye Fan.
The villagers knew all about Ye Fan's circumstances.
Although he was a little poor, he had a good reputation in the village.
Whenever a fellow villager had some troubles, Ye Fan would lend a hand.
Of course, Ye Fan's good reputation played a part.
Otherwise, nobody would think of Ye Fan when they had any good fortune.
The merging of memories made Ye Fan feel no stranger to Wang Dong. He said with a smile, "No need. Little Tian and Little Hai may be all grown up now, but looking at our family's condition, it's better not to drag anyone else into this."
At this moment, two young men rushed into the room.
"Dad, listen to Uncle Dong's advice. We're grown up now and can earn money. We won't drag you down anymore," Ye Jintian and Ye Jinhai said to Ye Fan in an anxious tone.
The sons were well aware that if not for their being burdens, Ye Fan would have remarried long ago.
It's no joke, when an old man loses everything to his sons. Who would want to marry into the Ye family that had to support two boys?
"..."
Hearing what his sons had to say, Ye Fan was undeniably touched.
Ye Fan didn't take over this body with his soul, but rather fused his soul with that of the original owner.
His feelings for Ye Jintian and Ye Jinhai were real.
Seeing his sons showing such concern for him, how could Ye Fan not be moved?
"Little Fan, there's no need to think anymore, I'll bring your wife over later."
Without waiting for Ye Fan's response, Wang Dong dashed out to find a wife for Ye Fan.
At last, Ye Fan had the time to take a good look at his sons.
His older son, Ye Jintian, was fifteen this year.
His younger son, Ye Jinhai, had just turned twelve.
Although Ye Fan was a farmer, he was blessed with good looks, they were just unkempt due to the long hours of labor.
Clearly, his sons had inherited Ye Fan's bloodline. They were tall and handsome with bright eyes and imposing eyebrows.
If not for their poverty, potential suitors would have worn out the threshold long ago.
Unfortunately, this was an ancient time that revered the Martial Path.
If it was Ye Fan's previous world, they could have become celebrities.
Now that he'd transmigrated and had to support a family, what should he do?
Of course, he needed to make money. If possible, he hoped to cultivate the Martial Path as well.
Didn't everyone have a dream of becoming a martial arts master when they were young? Now that he had such an opportunity, Ye Fan naturally didn't want to miss it.
However, in the saying 'the poor read and the rich do martial arts,' without money, wanting to practice martial arts is wishful thinking.
According to his memory, Ye Fan could only find two channels to practice martial arts.
One was to join a gang, which provided rudimentary cultivation techniques but bore significant risks.
The other was to study at a martial arts hall, for example, there were two martial arts halls in Changhe Town that Dongxiang Village was affiliated with - the Iron Armor Martial Arts Hall and the Rock Martial Arts Hall.
One specialized in brute force cultivation techniques, and the other in boxing techniques. Both masters were advanced practitioners of the Body Modification stage.
However, to join a martial arts hall, the tuition fee alone was tens of silvers.
Ye Fan didn't even have ten silvers to his name, let alone tens.
Things were made difficult from the start, it looked like being invincible from the moment of transmigration was destined to not be associated with Ye Fan.
As Ye Fan pondered his future path, Wang Dong arrived at Ye Fan's house with a woman.
"Little Fan, she'll be yours from here on. Make sure to treat her well," said Wang Dong, before turning around and leaving.
Ye Fan and the woman stared at each other, their eyes wide, and an awkward atmosphere began to spread.
The woman was grimy and dressed in a worn-out blouse.
However, her features hinted that she was, in fact, quite attractive.
In these times, the world was at unrest, and many people were displaced. This woman seemed to be one of them.
"Are you hungry? I can fetch you a glass of water," said Ye Fan.
It was a bit speechless, considering that Ye Fan was already in his thirties.
This woman, however, seemed to be considerably younger, probably just in her twenties.
Ye Fan never had a girlfriend in his previous life, so he was unsure how to act at the moment.
In the end, it was his two curious sons who broke the awkward silence.
"Dad, is this our new mom?" The two boys curiously examined the woman.
"I humbly beg for your shelter," the woman finally spoke up, encouraged by the sons.
Staying with Ye Fan, for the woman, was actually a good thing.
A woman, especially an attractive woman...
In this turbulent world, it wasn't necessarily a good thing to be.
In his previous world, the law existed to protect the vulnerable, but here, once one runs into bandits or similar types, that's a real disaster.
"You don't have to call me sir, just call me Ye Fan," Ye Fan naturally wouldn't put on airs and insist on sending the woman home.
Ye Fan also finally learned her name: Su Yan, who came from a place called Dongshi Prefecture.
Ye Fan hasn't even left Changhe Town before, so naturally, he didn't know where Dongshi Prefecture was. He could only inquire about it later.
Weddings during this era weren't grand affairs.
The family would have a meal together, and then, it would be straight to the wedding night.
Ye Fan didn't expect that right after he transmigrated, he would lose his virginity.
Congratulations were in order!
The moment Ye Fan finished his marital duties, a prompt sound suddenly appeared in his mind.
"Detected that the host has married and started a family, successfully establishing the foundation of a family. The Family Training System has been activated."
"Binding successful."
Holy cow!
The sudden prompt nearly scared Ye Fan off the bed.
System?
"System, is that you?"
"Host, I'm here!"
Transmigration comes with a system, the web novel god didn't lie!
This round... Taking off directly!
