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

"Hello, Valkyrie, I am Chen Xuan, who summoned you!" Chen Xuan tried to greet the woman in front of him.

However, the woman remained expressionless and did not answer Chen Xuan. If one looked closely, one could see a slight flash of surprise and disdain in her eyes.

She couldn't understand how she got there, and she wanted to leave but couldn't.

"System, why isn't she saying anything?"

"Ding, the host has only summoned her body; her soul is not here. However, a trace of soul power still remains in this body, so she can understand some of the host's commands."

"No soul? Isn't this just a child... a puppet? Which Valkyrie is this?"

"The Fairy of the Azure Clouds".

"??!!!!!"

"You mean that Bixiao Fairy from the Investiture of the Gods?! Is she real?" Chen Xuan pointed at the woman in front of him.

Bixiao Fairy, standing to the side, seemed to sense the ambiguity in Chen Xuan's words, and her beautiful brows furrowed slightly.

"Aren't humans supposed to be gods? How did she become a Valkyrie? I thought she was... you know!"

"Ding, the scope of Valkyries is very broad. Those who meet the criteria and have strong combat power are naturally included in it."

"Fine, but you brought the person here, but why did you leave the soul behind? I'm going to use this as a puppet, aren't I? And it seems to be just a mortal body!"

"Ding! The host can nurture her using the Vermilion Fruit, and she will constantly absorb nearby spiritual energy to restore her strength! As for her soul, the host can directly summon it by consuming Fate Points, or wait for her to come to him on her own!"

"..."

"Maybe we should just send her back. I have a feeling that if she comes looking for me, I might get beaten to death by this guy!"

"Host, there's no need to worry. The Valkyries you summoned have a contract with you, so they cannot harm you. Similarly, they can refuse any strange requests you make that are not related to combat!"

"That's it?" Chen Xuan pointed disdainfully at Fairy Bixiao: "How could she refuse me!"

After saying that, he walked directly in front of Bixiao and tried to pinch her cheek, but Bixiao took a step back to avoid it. At the same time, a pair of scissors appeared in her hand, their sharp edges aimed directly at a certain part of Chen Xuan's body.

Chen Xuan instantly knew what this thing was, and couldn't help but shudder. He then took out a Vermilion Fruit.

"Just stay here and enjoy the good food and drinks. We're all allies, I didn't mean anything by it!"

Bixiao ignored Chen Xuan's words, snatched the vermilion fruit from his hand, and swallowed it whole. In the next instant, her strength had reached the third level of Qi Refining.

"Is this Vermilion Fruit really that useful? How did she level up so quickly?"

"Ding! Fairy Bixiao is simply recovering herself. Her cultivation level is already very high, and there are no bottlenecks for her. So as long as she has energy, she can keep improving!"

"So that's how it is!" Chen Xuan suddenly realized, and then took out all the Vermilion Fruits he had just obtained and handed them all to Fairy Bixiao.

Bixiao didn't stand on ceremony with him and ate the Vermilion Fruit politely. She finished it all in no time and her strength reached the fifth level of Foundation Establishment. Then she looked at Chen Xuan expectantly.

"That's all. Do you want any other ones?" Chen Xuan took out some pills.

Bixiao shook her head and continued to stare at Chen Xuan.

"There's no other way then. I'll just have to let you absorb the spiritual energy first. I don't really need your Foundation Establishment Level 5 cultivation right now!" After saying that, he opened the secret realm passage, brought Bixiao back to the secret realm, and placed her deep in the spiritual vein.

"By the way, how many Destiny Points are needed to summon her soul?"

"Not much, just a mere 100 million!"

"Why don't you just rob it?!" Chen Xuan shouted.

"She's a genuine Taiyi Golden Immortal, this price is absolutely fair and reasonable!"

……

The primordial continent, the Heavenly Court.

Fairy Yunxiao, Fairy Qiongxiao, and Fairy Bixiao were sitting and discussing the Dao in a grotto when Fairy Bixiao suddenly felt dizzy.

"Bixiao, what's wrong?" Fairy Yunxiao was the first to notice Bixiao's unusual behavior.

"Sister, I... I feel like I've lost a part of my soul," Fairy Bixiao said, her brows furrowed in slight pain.

"What? How could this be?" Fairy Yunxiao asked in surprise.

"I don't know either, I just vaguely felt that a wisp of my soul had connected with me," Fairy Bixiao said, shaking her head helplessly.

"Could it be that someone is plotting against us sisters?" Fairy Qiongxiao wondered.

"No, no! I can sense that my wisp of soul is completely free; it is no longer bound by the Investiture of the Gods!"

"What?!" Yunxiao and Qiongxiao were extremely surprised.

"Escape from the Investiture of the Gods?! This, how is this possible? We've spent countless millennia trying to accomplish this, how could it possibly be…!"

"I'm not entirely sure what's going on, but I'm absolutely certain that it's unaffected by the Investiture of the Gods! And it even brought me back an image of a man!"

"What exactly is this..."

"Alright, the most urgent task now is to find out the missing piece of Bixiao's soul. Once we find it, the answer will naturally be revealed," Fairy Yunxiao said calmly.

"Hmm, Bixiao, can you sense where that wisp of your soul is?" Fairy Qiongxiao asked.

"I have a general direction, but the exact location is very vague. Perhaps I can only sense it if I get closer to it."

"Approximately where?"

"It's not on this continent, but in the smaller worlds below!"

"A minor world! How could it be in a minor world? This is quite troublesome!" Qiongxiao frowned.

Their power is too great; the Heavenly Dao simply does not allow them to descend to the mortal realm!

Fairy Yunxiao pondered for a moment, then said, "Qiongxiao, Bixiao, you two stay in the Heavenly Court for now. I will send someone to that minor world you mentioned. No matter what, we must find that wisp of Bixiao's soul!"

"No need! This matter is of great importance, I will go there myself!" said Fairy Bixiao.

"No, it's too risky for you to go down to the mortal realm yourself now. It's safest to send someone over!"

"It won't work. Right now, I can barely sense its location. If you send someone over, they may never find that wisp of my soul!"

And this time, I only sent a part of my soul away again. If I merge with that wisp of freedom, maybe...!

Most importantly, my two souls are connected by memories. If there really is a way to escape the Investiture of the Gods, I can inform my two older sisters and brothers! Bixiao said.

Yunxiao thought for a moment and felt that Bixiao's words made sense, so he nodded in agreement: "Alright, you take the Golden Dragon Scissors with you. If you encounter any danger, you can deal with it in time!"
