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

Zhou Wu looked at his two daughters and was furious.

Then, his brows relaxed.

"It's not impossible for you to marry my daughter, but the dowry will be extremely demanding!"

"Father, our royal family isn't short of wealth, why make things difficult for him with this!" Zhou Jingyi pouted.

"Alright, alright, it's just some valuables, it's not like I can't afford to give you these things!" Chen Xuan said, ruffling Zhou Jingyi's hair.

"Heh, you probably don't understand what I want!" Zhou Wu sneered.

"Oh? What do you need?"

"Immortal Herb!"

"What?! Father, you want the Immortal Spirit Herb?! Isn't this clearly preventing us from marrying Chen Xuan?!" Zhou Jingqi exclaimed in surprise.

"That's right! That's a celestial herb! Even though our Zhou family has been in the Mountain and Sea Realm for so long, only our ancestors from thousands of years ago have ever used it! This thing only exists in records!"

"Kid, I just don't know how much you like my two daughters!" Zhou Wu ignored his two daughters and stared at Chen Xuan as he spoke.

Chen Xuan, meanwhile, was browsing the system store.

"A Celestial Spirit Grass... here, one Destiny Value per plant?! What the hell is this thing?"

So he checked the effects.

"So it adds a little bit of everything, and it has many functions. It's a pretty good item. Ten thousand it is!" After sighing, Chen Xuan exchanged for the Immortal Spirit Grass.

"What, not going to say anything? It seems your feelings for my daughter are nothing special!" Zhou Wu looked at Chen Xuan with disdain.

"Oh? Is this what you mean?"

Chen Xuan casually patted his hand, and the Immortal Spirit Grass appeared in his palm. He wasn't afraid of any unexpected events; he now had more than enough confidence!

"This, this is..." Emperor Wu of Zhou looked at Chen Xuan in utter astonishment.

“I happen to have a Fairy Spirit Grass here. I wonder if Your Majesty will be satisfied?” Chen Xuan said.

Emperor Zhou Wu was so shocked that he couldn't speak. He thought Chen Xuan would be in a difficult position, but he didn't expect Chen Xuan to actually take out the Immortal Spirit Grass.

Zhou Jingyi and Zhou Jingqi were also surprised; they hadn't expected Chen Xuan to actually possess the Immortal Herb.

"Please take a look, Your Majesty!" Chen Xuan said with a smile, handing the Immortal Spirit Grass to Zhou Wu.

Zhou Wu took the Immortal Spirit Grass and was deeply moved as he looked at the grass, which exuded a rich life force. He took the grass in disbelief and examined it closely.

A short while later, he picked up the array plate on the table and activated the array protection.

“That’s right! This, this really is a fairy herb! How is this possible? Only that place has it… Wait, you said your surname is Chen?!” Zhou Wu seemed to have thought of something and suddenly spoke up.

"what happened?"

"I wonder what the Chen royal family's relationship was with you 20 years ago..."

"It has nothing to do with me."

"That's impossible! Since they're completely unrelated, you couldn't possibly have that!"

"I did indeed obtain this by chance; it's the only one of its kind, and I never expected it would come in handy now! I am quite interested in the Chen family royal family you mentioned," Chen Xuan replied ambiguously.

Zhou Wu glanced at his two daughters, holding the Immortal Spirit Grass without saying a word.

"Father, since you already said that as long as Chen Xuan produces the Immortal Spirit Grass, we can marry him, do you have nothing to say now?"

"You silly girl, you're not even married yet and you're already siding with outsiders!"

"Isn't this a case of a ruler keeping his word?"

"Alright, alright! Since he can produce the Immortal Spirit Grass, I won't make things difficult for him anymore. Chen Xuan, right? As long as you treat my two daughters sincerely, I'll be at ease." Seeing that his two daughters were siding with outsiders, he lost all temper.

Most importantly, Chen Xuan really does have this Immortal Spirit Grass!

"Your Majesty, rest assured, I, Chen Xuan, will take great care of the princesses and will never allow them to suffer the slightest grievance," Chen Xuan said earnestly.

"You'd better keep your word. If you really dare to betray my daughter, I'll do anything to make you understand the consequences of offending the Zhou family!"

"Your Majesty, rest assured, I will never let down the two princesses!" Chen Xuan cupped his hands in greeting.

Upon hearing this, Emperor Wu of Zhou remained silent for a moment before finally nodding and saying, "In that case, that would be for the best!"

……

Chen Xuan then asked the princesses to wait for him outside, as he and the emperor had matters to discuss.

"Your Majesty, would you be so kind as to tell me about the Chen royal family? I noticed you seemed hesitant to speak just now."

"Well, it's not really a secret. You can find out if you ask around!"

"Appreciate further details."

"Twenty years ago, the Chen family was the most powerful dynasty in the entire Shan Hai Realm. All the sects and other sects in the Central Plains had to obey their orders!"

Sometimes, even we members of the royal family have to obediently follow their orders!

"and then?"

"And then? Then overnight, all their experts were wiped out, and the main branch was slaughtered. I don't know the specific reasons. The next day, a new emperor ascended the throne. He was from the Chen family, but from a collateral branch."

"What does this have to do with me possessing the Immortal Spirit Herb?"

"This is exactly what I wanted to keep hidden! As a princess, there are some core things I haven't told Jingqi, and I plan to tell her when she is stronger."

Where is Jingyi?

"She's not very talented, and she'll get married sooner or later anyway, so I don't plan to let her know about this!"

"..."

"You really are... free-spirited and easygoing!"

"Pah! You brat, do you think I don't know Jingyi's temper? If I just provoke her a little, she'll immediately tell me everything she knows. If she knows any secrets, then my royal family will have no secrets left!" Zhou Wu glanced at Chen Xuan.

"Uh, that's true..."
