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

Afterwards, Chen Xuan went alone into the royal secret realm. Now, he no longer needed to use any special methods to enter; he simply notified Zhou Jingyi to come and pick him up.

"Chen Xuan, over here!"

At the entrance of the passage, the girl waved vigorously to Chen Xuan.

Chen Xuan smiled slightly, walked directly to the girl, and put his arm around her.

"You're here pretty early. What kind of reward would you like?"

Zhou Jingyi gently broke free from Chen Xuan's embrace and smiled playfully, "As for the reward, I haven't thought of it yet. I'll tell you when I do!"

"Okay, then tell me when you've thought it through!"

"Let's go in!"

After saying that, Chen Xuan took Zhou Jingyi's hand and walked towards the royal secret realm.

Upon entering the secret realm, the two arrived at Zhou Jingqi's palace. Lin Yunhan and Han Wanqing also resided there.

"Hmm, your place is really nice. The spiritual energy is abundant and the environment is beautiful. It's much better than the Zhao family's place. No wonder the royal family's core area is here!"

"Hehe, of course! Our royal family's secret realm is extremely precious!" Zhou Jingyi said proudly.

Chen Xuan smiled and gently pinched the girl's nose.

"Where is everyone else? What are they doing?"

"What else could they be doing but cultivating? Your master is breaking through, and my sister has recently made some progress and is also breaking through. As for your master, her talent has reached its limit, and she's habitually meditating!"

That's how it is in the world of cultivation; talent determines everything. Otherwise, no matter how hard you try, you can't break through the shackles!

After all, you're not the main character. Without a series of adventures and opportunities, you wouldn't be able to reach the top!

Lin Yunhan is clearly not the female lead, and without any major opportunities, she can only go so far.

However, her disciple Zhou Jingqi is the main female lead, so her cultivation level could never be just a minor Nascent Soul cultivator; it's just not the right time yet.

"And what about you, you little lazy pig? Have you been slacking off all this time? I don't think you've even reached the Foundation Establishment stage yet!"

"I'm not a lazybones! I've been cultivating diligently too!" Zhou Jingyi protested.

"Then tell me, what is your current cultivation level?"

"Eighth level of Qi Refining!" Zhou Jingyi said softly, a little embarrassed.

"What? Eighth level of Qi Refining? You haven't changed at all! And you still say you're not a lazy pig?"

"No, no! I've been cultivating diligently too! But it's only been half a year, it's normal for my cultivation to not have any progress in half a year!" Zhou Jingyi argued.

Chen Xuan thought about it and realized that this was indeed the normal cultivation speed for a person; on the contrary, his cultivation was improving too fast.

"Alright, alright, you've been cultivating diligently, okay?" Chen Xuan smiled and ruffled Zhou Jingyi's hair.

Zhou Jingyi pouted and said with dissatisfaction, "Hmph! You just think I cultivate too slowly!"

"How could that be?" Chen Xuan laughed. "I just felt that if your cultivation couldn't keep up, then we wouldn't be able to stay together forever! If you cultivate as hard as everyone else, you'll definitely be much stronger than them!"

"I, I..." Zhou Jingyi lowered her head, somewhat moved. She hadn't expected Chen Xuan to have considered so much. He had always wanted to stay with her forever!

"Alright, alright, from now on you'll cultivate with me! I'll teach you!"

"Really?" Zhou Jingyi looked at Chen Xuan with surprise and delight, her eyes sparkling.

"Of course it's true. When have I ever lied to you?" Chen Xuan said with a smile.

"But, but Master will not agree!"

"It's alright, I'll handle things with Fairy Lin!"

"Mmm, thank you, Brother Chen Xuan!" Zhou Jingyi happily jumped into Chen Xuan's arms and rubbed against him affectionately.

"Silly girl!" Chen Xuan rubbed her head and smiled indulgently.

The two embraced for a while before separating. Since Chen Xuan had come to visit, he still wanted to see Lin Yunhan.

Chen Xuan gently knocked on Lin Yunhan's door.

"Come in!" Lin Yunhan's voice came from inside the room.

Chen Xuan pushed open the door and entered, only to see Lin Yunhan sitting on the bed, meditating with her eyes closed, seemingly cultivating.

"Yunhan, I've come to see you!" Chen Xuan said with a smile.

Lin Yunhan opened her eyes and was startled to see Chen Xuan standing in front of her. She immediately got up from the bed and stared at Chen Xuan, saying, "Chen Xuan? You, what are you doing here!"

"What do you mean I'm here? Can't I come over?" Chen Xuan said, dissatisfied, and plopped down next to Lin Yunhan.

"No, no!" Lin Yunhan quickly waved her hand and said, "I'm just a little surprised!"

"It's alright, I'll come often in the future!" Chen Xuan said with a smile.

"Come often?!" Lin Yunhan's heart stirred, as if she suddenly understood Chen Xuan's meaning. She looked at Chen Xuan, a faint blush appearing on her face.

"What do you mean by that?" Lin Yunhan asked.

"What do you mean? It doesn't mean anything, I just want to see you more!" Chen Xuan said with deep affection.

"No, stop talking! I said no, and that means no!"

"But it's my business if I think about you. Do you even want to interfere with me?"

"you……!"

"Have you missed me these days?" Chen Xuan suddenly reached out and hugged Lin Yunhan tightly, then took a breath.

Lin Yunhan was completely stunned. She tried to break free from Chen Xuan's embrace, but he held her tightly, preventing her from moving.

"Chen Xuan, you, you let go of me! Otherwise, otherwise I won't be polite!" Lin Yunhan blushed and her heart pounded. She didn't expect Chen Xuan to hug her so suddenly, which made her feel very uncomfortable.

"No, I won't let go!" Chen Xuan held Lin Yunhan tightly, showing no intention of loosening his grip.

"I said no, and that means no!"

"But I like you. I just want to see you more. Is that not allowed?"

"Then, what are you doing now?!"

"Yunhan, do you know? I fell in love with you the first time I saw you. Your beauty and your temperament have captivated me."

"You should say those things to Wanqing, it won't do me any good!! Besides, between us..." Lin Yunhan said angrily.

"What happened between us?" Chen Xuan asked, puzzled.

"There is an insurmountable chasm between us!"

"What chasm?!"

"Chen Xuan, you don't understand. There are many obstacles between us, and we are not a good match."

"So you've fallen for me, but you care too much about these things, which is why you're so desperate to reject me, right?"

"I...I!!" Lin Yunhan's cheeks instantly turned red.

Over the past six months, she has indeed thought of Chen Xuan more than once, especially the misunderstanding, the kiss, and the scene where her senior sister agreed to her relationship with Chen Xuan...

In such a feudal environment, almost everything about her body was taken by Chen Xuan... How could her heart not be stirred?

Once a thought arises, no matter if you're a god or an immortal, no one can control it.

"Chen Xuan, I'm begging you, please don't make a mistake! Okay?"

"Mistake? What mistake? Didn't your Palace Mistress of Cold Moon Palace say it herself? She agreed to it!"

"I... I can't get past this in my own heart..."

"No, I want you now!" Chen Xuan feigned anger, wanting Lin Yunhan to make the choice for her, just like Liu Yuning.

He casually released some spiritual energy, shattering certain objects before beginning his own actions.

Little did he know that he had just begun to savor Lin Yunhan's tea when he was interrupted by a knock on the door.

Lin Yunhan realized what was happening, and in her embarrassment, she kicked Chen Xuan off the stage, then wrapped herself up in a blanket.
