Hearing Liu XiYang's angry voice, Dr. Alice Field at the other end of the phone was silent for a few seconds…

"Um, the weather is so nice today! Liu, I won't bother you anymore. I have a romantic date today, byebye~"

"If you dare to hang up the phone, I will fly to your lab immediately and crush your beloved "Fite Dog" full-figure series into mud balls!"

"No!! Liu, you can't do that!! That's simply too cruel!!!" Dr. Alice Field let out a desperate wail, failing to win over Liu XiYang with her cuteness.

Under Liu XiYang's threat, Dr. Alice Field had no choice but to reveal her device that could detect the physical condition of people with superpowers (mainly Liu XiYang). This device could not only detect the time and degree of Liu XiYang's use of superpowers through data, but also monitor any changes in his body, such as the size of his chest or hips, and even instinctive reactions of a certain aspect of males (though Dr. Alice didn't mention this).

"Wait… when did you put this chip in my body!!? And isn't that behavior considered extremely perverted?!" The idea of being peeked at by a certain pervert at all times gave Liu XiYang the chills.

"Of course, it was on that hot night~ Liu, have you already forgotten that night when we were intertwined with sweat and madness? You even said afterward that you would take responsibility for me…" A very suggestive and somewhat disappointed voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Crack…" Suppressing the impulse to crush his phone, Liu XiYang forced himself to calm down.

"That night was clearly because you insisted on hosting a bonfire party like some character in an animation and ended up setting your own lab on fire!! If it weren't for me saving you, you would have been reduced to ashes by now! And… what I meant by taking responsibility was just that I would help you rebuild the lab, so please don't say ambiguous things that could be misunderstood!" Liu XiYang muttered under his breath.

Understanding that Liu XiYang's emotions had reached a critical point, the languidly suggestive voice from the other end of the phone instantly became extremely upright.

"Liu, no joking, because I have something important to tell you." Dr. Alice Field said seriously.

"… Alright." Liu XiYang replied.

"Although I don't want to tell you this, the data I have here shows that if you continue to use your superpower… within half a year, your body will completely become a girl." Dr. Alice Field's voice sounded somewhat regretful.

"…" Liu XiYang was stunned. Knowing that this day would come but actually hearing the date, Liu XiYang felt an unbearable heaviness in his heart.

"Half a year, huh…" Liu XiYang mumbled.

"Yes, and not only changes in your hair, chest, thighs, etc., but also becoming a pure woman physiologically. However… don't be too sad, Liu, because I'm very close to success." Dr. Alice Field said first with regret, then with excitement.

"?! Success? What success? A method to suppress the side effects of my superpower? A way to prevent me from turning into a woman?" Liu XiYang's voice was filled with hope, as if he had grasped a lifesaving straw.

"Huh? Of course not. It's my latest invention, the ultimate device called "Love of Lilies No.1", which allows girls to have sexual happiness and even give birth to babies together! Hehehe, when that time comes, if you become a girl and can't find someone to marry, I may consider marrying you magnanimously and letting you bear my baby!" The voice on the other end of the phone went from incredulous to very suggestive.

Alice! Field! I've made up my mind, I'll kill you before I turn into a woman!!! Liu XiYang felt countless "anger" character veins popping up on his forehead."Oh right, I've found you a new job that doesn't require becoming a superhero, you just need to attend Hero Association's newly established Hero Academy, pretty easy, right? But we're still in talks at the moment, so I'll call you once it's settled. That's it! Mua~bye!" Realizing he had caused trouble once again, a certain doctor quickly kissed the phone and hung up.

New job? Hero Academy? To be a teacher? They can't possibly want me to attend Hero Academy as a student, right?

After hanging up, Liu XiYang stood on the empty street staring at the disconnected phone for a while before walking towards his home. During this time, the side effects from his superpower had passed and his originally swollen chest had gone away. However...

Liu XiYang stretched out his hand to press hard on his chest, suddenly stopped in his tracks, and then, with trembling lips, pulled his slender finger from his chest...

"Even though I only used one percent of my strength, my hard-earned pectoral muscles have turned soft and white again! Oh, please! Don't ask me to be a superhero anymore!" Although he didn't regret what he had just done, upon seeing his hard-earned pectoral muscles turning into tender white flesh, Liu XiYang couldn't help but lament loudly towards the empty street.

...

"I'm back." Although he knew that there was nobody at home, Liu XiYang still habitually called out to the empty house. Then, he changed into his slippers and walked towards the living room.

However, the next second...

"Ah! Welcome back!" A seemingly competent but somewhat silly girl's voice came from the supposedly empty room.

Liu XiYang paused for a second, covered his forehead with his hand, and walked quickly towards the unlit living room, turning on the ceiling light.

"Li Shi Ning, why are you in my home again..." Seeing the woman sitting on the sofa with her legs crossed, wearing only a pair of shorts that showed off her white legs and a loose white T-shirt that barely hid her black lace-trimmed bra, Liu XiYang couldn't help but ask.

The woman in front of him was not Liu XiYang's sister, nor his lover... To be exact, she was actually a proud police officer named Li Shi Ning.

"Little XiXi! Didn't I tell you not to call me by my name? You should call me Aunt Shi Ning or... (whispering) Mommy Shi Ning... I promised my senior brother that I would take good care of you..." Li Shi Ning was playing on her phone, her fingers tapping away, but she blushed and scratched her high, perky nose halfway through her words.

...Liu XiYang didn't say anything. Instead, he felt that there was no saving this foolish woman.

Li Shi Ning, a national first-class police officer, is now part of the S City Public Security Bureau. As for the senior brother that Li Shi Ning mentioned, he was Liu XiYang's father, Liu Mo, who disappeared without a trace three years ago due to the emergence of Demonborn. Of course, for Li Shi Ning, who greatly admires the legendary police officer Liu Mo and is a super fan of uncles, she has always hoped to marry her senior and role model.

Unfortunately, Liu Mo went missing in action during a Demonborn investigation. Since then, Li Shi Ning had taken it upon herself to look after Liu XiYang-- the only remaining family member of Liu Mo.

However, after hearing of his father's disappearance and awakening his superpowers at the same time, Liu XiYang embarked on a journey to find his father... From defeating the Demonborn at his doorstep, to hearing of a stronger Demonborn being killed in the neighboring residential area, and then discovering even more powerful Demonborn in a neighboring city and even an invincible Demonborn in a neighboring country… Gradually, as Liu XiYang traveled the world to find his father, he unintentionally became a hero to the entire world and ultimately saved nearly a fifth of human territory. Three years had already passed.Three years have passed, and not only has Liu XiYang failed to find his father, but he has also lost his once-proud steel-like muscles, turning into a gender-ambiguous appearance... What's even more terrifying is that when Liu XiYang returned home, he found that tearful woman who hugged him tightly and said she would take care of him from now on and become his mother. She is the same woman who is now sitting on the sofa playing with her phone, only three years older than 18-year-old Liu XiYang.

Recalling the scene of their first meeting, Liu XiYang still feels a chill down his spine.

That silly woman, who hugged him tightly, smeared her nose and tears all over him, and shouted, "Wuuu, I remember my senior brother only had a son. I didn't expect him to have such a cute daughter! But don't be afraid, from now on, I will be your mother. I will take care of you on behalf of your father and find a good place for you!"

Taking off the dirty clothes that had been rubbed by the train's front, Liu XiYang skillfully opened the refrigerator and prepared dinner for himself and that silly woman. While Liu XiYang was making dinner, he saw the silly woman suddenly sit up on the sofa, her face tense as she held her phone and yelled.

"Metal War God, don't die! Please don't die! Run! Metal War God, run!"

Although Liu XiYang didn't see it, he knew that the silly woman was playing a mobile game called "Honor of Kings," a MOBA game where players control heroes in up to 5v5 battles. "Honor of Kings" was launched in collaboration with the Hero Association, and every character that players can control is a registered superhero in the Hero Association. "Metal War God" is ranked 13th among the S Tier Heroes in the Hero Association, known for having an absolute defensive ability.
