The protagonist stole my spiritual root? Hey, heroine, give birth to me!

"You, you listen to my explanation, this really wasn't my intention, it was all Zhao Yi's doing!" Huang Meihua quickly explained, otherwise Chen Xuan would be unhappy and she would suffer even more.

The woman who had been so arrogant towards Zhao Yi outside the door now looked pitiful and as docile as a lamb.

"I don't want to hear your explanation. All I know is that you and Zhao Yi have deeply hurt me. Now, it's time to talk about compensation."

"Compensation? How do you want compensation? I, I've already..."

"Of course not now!" Chen Xuan gently stroked Huang Meihua's hair.

"I will come back tomorrow to collect what is rightfully mine. In the meantime, you are not allowed to go to the Huang family!"

"Yes, but..."

"No buts. You figure out how to stall yourself, but I won't let you leave the house!"

After saying that, Chen Xuan took out a pill and put it directly into Huang Meihua's mouth.

"What, what did you give me to eat?!" Huang Meihua asked in surprise and doubt.

"The Qi Condensation Pill will make it easier for you to condense spiritual energy and break through to the next level!" Chen Xuan said with a smile, pinching her cheek.

"I... my ability to condense spiritual energy is useless. I've already collected all my spiritual energy, but unfortunately, my talent is limited, and I just can't break through!" Huang Meihua sighed.

"Feel it for yourself. Just now, I broke through your bottleneck. Now, with a little simple cultivation, the breakthrough will come naturally!"

"Really? Really?" Huang Meihua looked at Chen Xuan in disbelief.

"Of course, why would I lie to you!" Chen Xuan smiled slightly.

Upon hearing this, Huang Meihua was overjoyed. She immediately sat cross-legged and began to circulate her qigong.

Sure enough, not long after she began practicing her technique, she felt a powerful force surging within her body. This force flowed through her meridians, providing her with a continuous source of energy.

Then, with a very easy "pop," she broke through her cultivation level!

She was secretly shocked, never expecting that Chen Xuan would have such means to break through her bottleneck and allow her to make a successful breakthrough.

"Thank you, Chen Xuan. If it weren't for you, I'm afraid I would never have been able to break through this bottleneck!" Huang Meihua's cheeks were flushed with joy.

For more than ten years, her cultivation level had not changed at all. Unexpectedly, she broke through her cultivation level simply by following Chen Xuan's instructions and doing a set of yoga!

"Of course, after all, you'll be having my children in the future!"

"Give birth, give birth to a child?" Huang Meihua's smile froze. The information contained in those words was too much and too explosive!

"Of course, you want to know where Gao Yueting is, right? She's currently taking good care of me during my pregnancy."

"She, she!!" Huang Meihua was so shocked she couldn't speak.

"What, you want to see her? That's not so easy. If you want to see her, you must disappear from this world!"

"Disappeared without a trace!? Are you going to kill me?" Huang Meihua couldn't help but ask.

"Of course not, sister-in-law, you're so beautiful, how could I possibly bring myself to do such a cruel thing?"

Huang Meihua's heart tightened, as if she had realized something.

However, Chen Xuan didn't let her think too much about it. He patted her and told her to consolidate her cultivation. He also said that he would come again before leaving her courtyard.

Watching Chen Xuan leave, Huang Meihua felt a mix of emotions.

She found herself unable to get angry at Chen Xuan, which made her somewhat flustered and confused. She didn't understand what was wrong with her! She should be angry, but when she thought about how gently Chen Xuan had treated her just now, she just couldn't muster any anger...

……

After leaving Huang Meihua's courtyard, Chen Xuan returned to his own home.

As soon as he entered the room, he found Zhao Lingwu staring straight at him.

"What's wrong, baby?" Chen Xuan asked, feeling a little guilty.

"Husband, could you explain to me what yoga is?" Zhao Lingwu asked with a half-smile.

"Huh? Um, yoga is a kind of..."

"That's not what they meant. They meant the two-player game you played with my sister-in-law later!" Zhao Lingwu stood up and walked towards Chen Xuan.

"I never expected that all three of the most beautiful women in the city this week would fall into your hands!"

"Ahem, Ling Wu, you know?" Chen Xuan was a little embarrassed and quickly tried to appease her by massaging her shoulders and legs.

Zhao Lingwu gave him a disgruntled look, then turned and sat down in the chair.

"You little rascal, all you do is sneak around with someone... don't you know how heartbroken my brother is out there!"

Chen Xuan was both amused and exasperated. "Ling Wu, you've misunderstood me. I'm absolutely reliable in my work. Your brother definitely doesn't know!"

"What difference does it make whether he knows or not? I never imagined my brother would turn out like this!" Zhao Lingwu said with some disappointment.

Her own brother, because of some power within the family, actually went against her husband! And she wanted to isolate herself from the world!

But she never had any interest in the power of the Zhao family. All she wanted was to live a good life with her husband and have a few big, healthy sons!

These past few days, because the Zhao family has been besieged on all sides, I said a few more words, and the family members all supported my views. I never expected that this would arouse Zhao Yi's resentment!

Most importantly, he himself refused to admit it! He insisted that it was because he and Huang Meihua didn't get along that he attacked Chen Xuan!

Chen Xuan noticed Zhao Lingwu's dejected expression and went to his wife's side, embracing her tightly.

"Don't worry, I'll take care of everything. The baby will be born soon. All you need to do in the meantime is stay positive!"

"Yes, I believe you!" Zhao Lingwu hugged Chen Xuan's waist. Although she said that, she was still a little worried.

The next day, Chen Xuan sent Zhao Lingwu into the secret realm to rest and prepare for childbirth. He didn't want her to be bothered by trivial matters anymore, and he also told her to claim to the outside world that she was going into seclusion and that he would take care of the Zhao family's affairs.

In reality, the Zhao family wasn't severely besieged by numerous clans in terms of resources and official positions. This was because the Huang and Gao families didn't directly intervene; they merely bestowed titles upon the families below them.

After all, if the Zhao family is really pushed too far, they might actually call in the high-ranking members of those major sects, and then wouldn't they both suffer heavy losses?

And most importantly, if the Zhao family really falls, then who will the Zhou royal family target next?

Unfortunately, that's how family succession works; sometimes your heir is an idiot, just like Zhao Yi.

He didn't see this, and instead explained the reason to the outside world. He also kept thinking that the Zhao family was in danger, and in his panic, he knelt down and begged Huang Meihua.

From beginning to end, he never asked his biological father, Zhao Weiwu. In his eyes, Zhao Weiwu only became the head of the family because of his strength, and not for any other reason. He only regarded his father as a henchman.

……

After seeing Zhao Lingwu off, Chen Xuan, having nothing else to do, went to Huang Meihua again to cultivate. After all, now that his cultivation was not suppressed, it was the perfect opportunity to break through freely.

As for his remaining wives, he has plenty of time in the evenings. However, Huang Meihua and Zhao Yi give him completely different impressions, so he must make the most of these next few days, hehehe.

As expected, under Chen Xuan's arrangement, Huang Meihua did not go to the Huang family to plead for the Zhao family, but instead obediently waited at home for Chen Xuan's arrival.
