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

"What are you saying? It was me back then..."

"No, it's not your fault, senior. If anyone is to blame, it's this dog-eat-dog world! The Chen family's direct descendant possesses the Eye of Flaws, so it's no wonder that he was envied and coveted, leading to his death. It's just a pity for my daughter..."

"Alright, let bygones be bygones. The most important thing now is to heal your hidden injuries!"

"Um……"

Blue Star Secret Realm, the cultivation place of Fairy Bixiao.

At this moment, Chen Xuan was asking Bi Xiao for advice on how to get along with snakes, how to subdue snake demons, and how to train (treat) snake demons.

After all, she once used the Golden Dragon Scissors to turn into two snakes to deal with Ji Fa, so her knowledge in this area should be quite comprehensive.

After making inquiries, he learned that this Empress Dowager She was no ordinary person.

She has no relation to the current emperor; she simply said she wanted to be empress dowager, and the emperor immediately agreed! Furthermore, every member of the royal family is terrified of her.

Such a person either possesses exceptional strength or has a powerful background. However, Chen Xuan leans more towards the first possibility, given that she is a snake demon in human form. For a demon to hold such a position in the human world, it's clear she possesses formidable strength.

So just in case, he has to make some preparations, like now.

Although Fairy Bixiao could not speak at this moment and had only a sliver of consciousness, she was still very experienced in how to subdue the snake demon.

With a slight lift of her hand, she summoned an illusion of a giant snake. With another wave of her hand, the snake charged directly at Chen Xuan!

Seeing this, Chen Xuan did not panic. He quickly adjusted his breathing and then retreated rapidly, putting distance between himself and the giant snake.

Then he suppressed his cultivation level and became equal to that of Fairy Bixiao.

He knew very well that Fairy Bixiao only wanted to demonstrate to him how to deal with the snake demon, so he was not in a hurry and carefully observed the giant snake's attack methods.

The giant snake lunged at Chen Xuan, trying to coil around him tightly, but Chen Xuan was so fast that the snake couldn't get close to him at all.

As the giant snake attacked, Chen Xuan kept dodging, observing its attack trajectory as he did so.

After observing for a period of time, Chen Xuan finally figured out the giant snake's attack pattern. He quickly retreated and then rushed forward.

Just as he was about to be ensnared by the giant snake, he leaped up and flipped over to dodge its attack.

At the same time, Chen Xuan thrust out his longsword, piercing directly into the giant snake's body, and then the giant snake illusion disappeared.

Seeing that Chen Xuan had successfully subdued the giant snake, Fairy Bixiao's face showed a hint of resentment, as if she felt that it was a very shameful thing for her to be humiliated by Chen Xuan.

So she summoned a giant python, determined to regain her dignity.

Seeing this, Chen Xuan quickly stopped her: "Fairy, please wait!"

Bixiao tilted her head.

"The one you summoned is too weak. Do you have one that's stronger? Ideally, a snake demon that can take human form and use skills!"

Upon hearing this, Bi Xiao shook her head blankly, then pointed a finger, and the giant python attacked Chen Xuan again.

Chen Xuan: "..."

After easily slaying the giant python once again, Chen Xuan waved to Bi Xiao and said, "Thank you for your guidance, Fairy. I have benefited greatly, although it is of little use!"

After saying that, he left without looking back, leaving Bixiao stunned in place.

After a long while, he went to absorb spiritual energy again to restore his cultivation.

Beyond the heavens, Bixiao, who was rushing towards this world, inexplicably felt an overwhelming anger from the depths of her soul, and she herself did not know why.

"What's wrong with my body? Could it be that someone is trying to do something to me...?!"

Filled with rage, Bixiao instantly increased her speed; she was determined to make that person pay the price!

Chen Xuan went back to spend some time with his wife and daughters before leaving the Blue Star Secret Realm and returning to the Imperial Hospital.

……

Zhao Tianming was in a very good mood.

He not only obtained the Thousand-Year Frost Grass, which can restore soul power, but also conveniently eliminated his formidable enemy, Chen Xuan, and might even acquire his special cultivation method! Most importantly, Chen Wenwen knows nothing about this at the moment; all she needs to do is wait for him to return…

Jie Jie Jie!

Soon, Zhao Tianming, filled with excitement, rushed back to the inn at the fastest speed he had ever traveled.

Standing in front of the door, Zhao Tianming first tidied his appearance, then tried his best to put on a sad expression, but he was just too "sad" and couldn't stop smiling.

Zhao Tianming punched himself a few times, but it was no use. So he could only retreat to his room and let his master, Qian Muli, refine the spiritual medicine to help him recover.

The next morning, seeing the jade pendant still motionless, Zhao Tianming's expression immediately fell.

It seems the medicine wasn't strong enough to wake Master up.

Little did they know, Qian Muli had already fully awakened, and with the replenishment from the Thousand-Year Frost Grass, her soul power could now materialize!

However, Qian Muli is currently very disappointed with Zhao Tianming's performance and does not want to come out and face him.

Upon learning that Qian Muli had failed to awaken, and that he had lost a major weapon, Zhao Tianming felt immediately disappointed.

Fortunately, Wenwen was still there, so he could act a little more sad now. He went to Chen Wenwen's door again and knocked…

Meanwhile, Chen Xuan was ordered to come to the Empress Dowager's palace again to treat her.

But as soon as he entered, he saw a beautiful woman who was both unfamiliar and somewhat familiar.

She was tall and slender, with skin as white as snow, smooth and delicate, like the finest jade, exuding a faint fragrance that was refreshing and delightful.

Her eyes were as clear as autumn water, seemingly holding endless stories, captivating all who beheld them.

Her demeanor is noble and elegant, making people want to get closer, yet unwilling to defile her.

Chen Xuan was captivated by the woman's beauty and was momentarily lost in thought. As he gazed at her, he felt a sense of familiarity, but couldn't quite place where he had seen her before.

When the beautiful woman saw Chen Xuan's expression, a hint of shyness appeared on her face, as if she were a young woman who had just gotten married.

This was the first time in all these years that she had met anyone other than She Jingxi, and she was quite socially awkward.

"Empress Dowager, who is this?" Chen Xuan asked, somewhat puzzled, as he came to his senses.

"Oh, this is my younger sister, and also my personal maid. Her name is Shen Xirou," She Jingxi said with a slight smile as she introduced her to Chen Xuan.

"So it's Miss Xirou, a pleasure to meet you!" Chen Xuan cupped his hands in greeting to Shen Xirou.

"Not at all, Physician Chen, you're too kind," Shen Xirou replied gently, her voice soft and pleasant.
