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

"By the way, that Chen Xuan from earlier, does he really know medicine?" Zhao Tianming asked.

"Yes, his medical skills are also very high. He's a very good talent." She Jingxi said with a rosy face, recalling the feeling when Chen Xuan held her hand.

"I see. That's a pity."

"What a pity? How is it a pity?"

"Because I need you to help me kill him!" Zhao Tianming said coldly.

Even Qian Muli, who was hiding in the shadows, was shocked. She never expected that Zhao Tianming would have such a thought!

In her memory, Chen Xuan had always been a meticulous and upright gentleman!

But that day, Zhao Tianming suddenly tried to kill him! If Chen Xuan hadn't recovered his strength, he probably would have been brutally murdered!

She was already very dissatisfied with this, but she never expected that Zhao Tianming would still be so fixated on killing Chen Xuan! Instantly, an overwhelming sense of disappointment enveloped her heart.

Upon hearing this, She Jingxi was also shocked. She hadn't expected Zhao Tianming to ask her to kill Chen Xuan.

"Isn't he your friend? I was especially friendly to him!"

"No, he's my mortal enemy, my lifelong foe! With him around, I can't accomplish anything!"

"He's just a lowly doctor at the Golden Core stage, how could he threaten you? At worst, I'll just keep him trapped in this harem so he won't get in your way!" She Jingxi was somewhat puzzled. Chen Xuan was indeed a rare talent, and she didn't want to kill him.

"If he doesn't die, I won't be at peace! For the sake of me saving you, will you help him or not?"

"Since you've already put it this way, I have no reason to refuse you!" She Jingxi said expressionlessly.

Today's Zhao Tianming was completely different from the one she had met a few days ago, giving her a very cold feeling.

Furthermore, he had already offered the Thousand-Year Frost Grass as a reward, yet he still wanted to use the favor of saving him to blackmail him!

People who take advantage of kindness are the most disgusting!

"That would be perfect!" Zhao Tianming smiled upon receiving She Jingxi's affirmation.

"I'm not saying I have to force you to kill him with this, but I have my own reasons, and I hope you can understand!" Zhao Tianming changed his tone and explained gently.

"Alright! I'll kill him for you, and we'll be even from now on. You can't use this to get me to do anything for you again! However, he does have some medical skills, so I plan to have him help me restore my cultivation first, and then I'll kill him!"

"Alright, but in the meantime, let him stay in the harem!"

"no problem."

"Since you're all settled here, I'll be leaving now. I have more important things to do!" Zhao Tianming said goodbye.

"Go."

However, Zhao Tianming stopped when he reached the door.

"Oh, right, there's one more thing I forgot to mention. This kid might have a very mysterious cultivation technique. My fiancée, under his guidance, cultivated directly from the early Foundation Establishment stage to the early Golden Core stage in just over a year!"

"Is there such a thing?!"

"This is absolutely true. If you can learn the specific method from him, I think you will be able to..." Zhao Tianming didn't finish his sentence, but his meaning was clear.

She Jingxi was shocked when she heard Zhao Tianming's words.

You have to understand, she climbed up step by step from a clueless little monster! Only she knows how much effort and hardship she put in!

Especially when she was in the Foundation Establishment to Golden Core stage, she couldn't even maintain her human form, making breakthroughs even more difficult!

Now, let me tell you, Zhao Tianming's fiancée has cultivated from the early Foundation Establishment stage to the early Golden Core stage in just over a year. This is simply unbelievable!

Comparing people to each other—no, comparing people to snakes—is enough to make a snake furious! She Jingxi felt terrible!

If she had obtained such a cultivation technique back then, or had such a person to guide her, she would have already cultivated to the Nascent Soul stage!

And now, all we need to do is pry it out of Chen Xuan's mouth to get it! Thinking of this, She Jingxi felt a surge of excitement.

"Okay! I will get his secret!"

When Zhao Tianming saw that She Jingxi agreed, a smug smile appeared on his face.

"Then I'll leave it to you!" With that, Zhao Tianming left the room.

……

"How did it go? Did you cure her?" Chen Xuan asked, seeing Zhao Tianming walking out looking relaxed.

After all, these chosen ones are destined for greatness; wherever they go, the best things will inevitably be taken by them! Things like soul-repairing items can be said to have been prepared specifically for them!

"Hey, Brother Chen, you overestimate me. I couldn't figure out what was wrong with the Empress Dowager either! I just came to keep you company!" Zhao Tianming said with a smile.

"Alright then, in that case, let's go back. I'm sure Wenwen has been waiting for a long time!"

"Row!"

Just as the two were about to leave, the old eunuch approached Chen Xuan and said, "By imperial decree of the Empress Dowager, you, Chen Xuan, shall stay and reside temporarily in the Imperial Hospital. The rest of you shall leave the inner palace!"

Chen Xuan: "???"

"Your Excellency need not be confused. The Empress Dowager said that your medical skills greatly surprised her, and she believed that you could cure her, which is why she allowed you to stay."

"But what about my situation..."

“Hey, Brother Chen, don’t panic, I’m here for you! You stay here and focus on treating the Empress Dowager, I’ll go back and take care of Wenwen!” Zhao Tianming quickly stepped forward.

"Alright, I feel relieved with you here. Although your cultivation level is not as high as Wenwen's, at least you'll have company!" Chen Xuan casually patted Zhao Tianming on the shoulder.

"Alright, then I'll head back first. Don't worry about Wenwen!" With that, Zhao Tianming left without looking back. No one could be happier than him right now!

After he returns, he will first refine the spiritual medicine for his master, Qian Muli, and then inform Wenwen that Chen Xuan, this beast in human form, had flirted with the Empress Dowager and was executed!

In the end, Wenwen was heartbroken, and he comforted her with kind words, and then naturally... hehehe!

Unfortunately, even if he went back, he was destined to come back empty-handed!

……

"This is where you will be staying, Doctor Chen! You are free to come and go within the Imperial Hospital, and you can use any medicines you wish to obtain. However, once you leave the Imperial Hospital, you will be restricted to designated areas!"

"No problem, thank you very much, guard!"

"Of course, then I won't say anything more. Farewell!" The guard cupped his hands in greeting and left.

Chen Xuan returned to his room and began to think about his next move, as well as how to question Zhao Tianming after he couldn't find Chen Wenwen.

However, the most crucial element is the location of those coordinates.

Unfortunately, that location is not in the inner palace, but in the forbidden area of ​​the royal clan, which is guarded by some core elders. We need to make other plans.

Meanwhile, after some deliberation, Empress Dowager She Jingxi led her entourage directly to the Cold Palace, where she met a mysterious and beautiful woman.

The mysterious and beautiful woman was slightly startled to see the Empress Dowager arrive in person, but she quickly regained her composure.

The woman was stunningly beautiful, with a face like a peach blossom, eyebrows like distant mountains, and eyes that sparkled like stars. She wore an elegant white dress, yet it could not conceal her extraordinary beauty.

However, her eyes revealed a hint of despondency and melancholy, and her slightly pale face carried an air of detached indifference. Her eyes were deep and melancholic, seemingly containing countless complex emotions.

"Senior, what brings you here?" the beautiful woman asked in surprise.

"What, can't I come to see you?" She Jingxi said with a smile.

"Of course, but this is your first time coming here in years! Is there something you need?"

"There is indeed one thing that will be of some benefit to you."

"What is it? Could it be that I can leave now...?!"

"No, it's not that. I met a young doctor today who is quite skilled. He can treat your hidden injuries," She Jingxi said, shaking her head.

"As you know, I no longer care about this. What difference does it make whether I'm injured or not?" the beautiful woman sighed.

"You're wrong about that. What if things take a turn for the better later, but you're delayed because of some injury? Wouldn't all your years of forbearance have been for nothing?"

"Well... alright! But if I go out like this, won't it cause you some trouble..."

"You're overthinking it. They still wouldn't dare to act recklessly in front of me, so don't worry!"

"Thank you very much, senior!"
