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

"No, my husband, please, please spare me! I'm carrying our child!"

"It's nothing, it's nothing. I just came to visit you and the baby. I'll go next door!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Yunhan blushed instantly.

During this past month, she had practically accompanied Chen Xuan, experiencing every single cultivation method! Now that Chen Xuan mentioned this, she instantly understood his intention.

But the thought that Han Wanqing had already emerged from seclusion and was nearby instantly triggered a surge of taboo in her mind.

But in the end, she gritted her teeth, rejected Chen Xuan, and kicked him out.

……

The next morning, Lin Yunhan woke up from her sweet dream and saw Chen Xuan staring at her. She sighed, finally unable to hold back her anger from yesterday and gave in to his wishes.

It's worth mentioning that she slept almost every day this month! That's more than she slept in total when she first started her cultivation!

However, her cultivation level actually increased instead of decreased as a result, which made her somewhat... ( )

It's hard to go from extravagance to frugality!

Looking at the person who had already woken up, Chen Xuan smiled slightly, gently kissed her, and then got up and left.

"Husband, are you... are you really going to do this?"

"Yes, I have to do this, otherwise, it won't be fair to you!"

"Alright then, since you've made up your mind, I'll support you! But, could we postpone what I need to do a little longer?"

"Of course, I haven't been to your Cold Moon Palace yet. As for your matter, I will invite your relatives and friends to come when I arrive at the Cold Moon Palace!"

Lin Yunhan: "..."

After leaving Lin Yunhan, Chen Xuan went to the palace of the princess sisters.

"Brother Chen Xuan is here!" Zhou Jingyi greeted him with a smile.

"Chen, Chen Xuan!" Zhou Jingqi blushed; what was coming couldn't be avoided.

"Are you ready? If you are, let's go to the palace to see your father and mother!" Chen Xuan smiled.

"Your suggestion is absurd! My father... he would never agree to it! And my master would never agree to it either!"

"Does he not agree mean I won't marry you two? We'll be family sooner or later, I'm just making it happen sooner!"

"As for your master, I spent a lot of money yesterday to persuade her, so there's no need to worry!"

"That's right, that's right! Sister, you insist on waiting until you reach the Nascent Soul stage and Father and Master can't control you anymore before talking about this. That's too late. You might as well marry Brother Chen Xuan now!"

Zhou Jingqi: "..."

And so, under Chen Xuan's unyielding tone, Zhou Jingqi had no choice but to obediently lead Chen Xuan into the palace.

It wasn't that she didn't want to marry Chen Xuan, but in her opinion, there were too many obstacles from the outside world right now, making it unsuitable for marriage. It would be best to wait until she had gained more power in the future before getting married!

But now that Chen Xuan disagrees, there's nothing we can do but go with him to meet the Emperor, since he's the one the Emperor has chosen as his consort!

Soon, Zhou Jingqi led Chen Xuan into the palace. They traveled without hindrance and arrived at the emperor's study.

Theoretically, as princesses who were not yet the empress's daughters, they were not entitled to enter directly, since the old emperor had too many children to count.

However, Zhou Jingqi was too talented. No one in the entire royal family was as gifted as his daughter! Even the real old monsters in the palace were alarmed when she was born, and she was given unimaginable privileges!

The only pity is that she was not a son. If she were, she would have been the next emperor!

Of course, if she wanted to become empress, it would only take a word from her. Unfortunately, my daughter is single-mindedly devoted to the Dao and has no other thoughts.

As Zhou Wu's most outstanding daughter, Zhou Jingqi naturally received all the love and care he could give her. He practically plucked the stars from the sky for her!

Even Zhou Jingyi, who wasn't particularly talented, received the same privileges and affection as her sister! In the ruthless palace, the old emperor's treatment of her speaks volumes about Zhou Jingqi's importance!

After the three entered, they saw the two women's father, Emperor Zhou Wu, sitting in a chair, reviewing memorials. Although he looked old and frail, his face was very dignified.

"what happened?"

The usually stern Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty had a bad feeling when he saw his two most beloved daughters bring in a man.

"No, nothing, it's just that there's something I need to discuss with Father!" Zhou Jingqi stammered.

"What is it? Does anyone in the entire palace dare to go against you?"

"No, that's not it, it's something else!" Zhou Jingqi's face was flushed.

"what exactly is it?"

"Father, I have come today to discuss with you the matter of marrying Chen Xuan!" Zhou Jingqi said, mustering her courage.

"Oh, it's a wedding. I thought it was... um? A wedding?! (voice cracks) Are you sure you're not joking?" Zhou Wu's eyes widened.

“No, Chen Xuan is my daughter’s soulmate, and she is willing to spend her life with him!” Zhou Jingqi answered firmly.

"Chen Xuan?" Zhou Wu looked at Chen Xuan, his eyes filled with scrutiny. "Where are you from? Do you have any elders in your family?"

Chen Xuan stepped forward and bowed: "Your Majesty, I am..."

He introduced himself.

"Son-in-law? Who's going to be my son-in-law? Did I agree to this? Even if you are the sect leader of the Xuan Yang Sect, this is absolutely impossible!! You are not good enough for my daughter!"

"Father!! Chen Xuan is very capable. I've decided that he's the one for me in this life. I won't marry anyone else but him!" Zhou Jingqi said firmly, her voice filled with determination.

Zhou Wu's expression changed. He hadn't expected his daughter to choose Chen Xuan so resolutely, which made him somewhat angry.

"Qi'er, how...how could you be so willful! You are my daughter, do you know how much I love you? How could you so easily give yourself to a stranger?!"

Zhou Jingqi shook her head firmly: "Father, I'm not being willful. I really like Brother Chen Xuan. He's someone I can entrust my life to!"

“Qi’er, you’re too young and don’t understand the wickedness of people. This Chen Xuan must have deceived you with his glib tongue. How can I let you marry him?” Zhou Wu frowned, looking anxious.

Seeing this, Chen Xuan stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, you are mistaken. My feelings for the princess are genuine. I am willing to give everything to protect her!"

She originally planned to marry me when she became powerful enough that you couldn't control her anymore, but I don't think that's appropriate! Otherwise, I wouldn't be proposing now.

Zhou Wu looked at his daughter and sighed inwardly. He never expected that the little cabbage he had raised since childhood would have such a childish idea!

"Yes, Father, Brother Chen Xuan is a very good person and very capable. He and my sister both have a bright future!"

"Brother Chen Xuan? Why are you calling him that more affectionately than she is?"

"Your Majesty, I have come today to ask for the hand in marriage with the two princesses!"

"What? Two?!" Emperor Wu of Zhou was furious, feeling that he had been dealing with too many government affairs and was now hallucinating.

"How could I possibly marry my two precious daughters to a brat like you! I advise you to give up that idea as soon as possible!"

“Father, please don’t be angry. Brother Chen Xuan really likes us! My sister and I… both like him very much!” Zhou Jingyi quickly said.

"You, you two!!" Zhou Wu pointed at his two daughters, furious.
