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

Na Yugang was indeed learned and knowledgeable, and knew some secrets that many people did not.

Take the Immortal Grass for example. It's quite rare to find even a single plant in a place. But in this small world, they're appearing in huge quantities, which is obviously very unusual.

Others simply thought it was good luck, but according to Yu Gang's own judgment, there was an even rarer "spiritual root" (referring to the root of the divine tree) deeper within where the immortal herb grew!

That's why he went to such great lengths, sending the highly respected Dai Dabai and Zhu Zhu to handle the matter.

After descending to the lower realm, the two discovered that the immortal spirit grass was not yet mature, so they did not attempt to dig up its spiritual roots. After all, they still had to give an explanation to the Zhang family above.

So, with nothing to do, Dai Dabai got bored and wanted to experience the "emperor's addiction" in advance, which led to the scene just now.

The original emperor, Chen Sui, had no choice but to obey Dai Dabai's demands.

After all, he knows perfectly well how he obtained the throne 20 years ago! If he displeases these lords, not only will he die, but his entire Chen family will be wiped out!

"Zhu Zhu, rest assured, I will give you the grandest wedding, so that the entire Great Chen will cheer for our union." Dai Dabai said affectionately.

Seeing Dai Dabai so engrossed in his role, Zhu Zhu's disdain deepened. She genuinely didn't want to play along with him; it was too childish!

"Have you had enough fun? I'm tired and need to rest." Zhu Zhu coldly said this, then turned and left without giving Dai Dabai any face.

Dai Dabai was also stunned. He didn't expect that even though he was about to make her his empress, this wretched woman would still be so indifferent! If it weren't for the fact that he couldn't learn the fusion skill without her, who would have the time to come and fawn over her!

However, Dai Dabai quickly realized that Zhu Zhu most likely still disliked his past actions. Even though he had "repented," she still disliked him.

Thinking about this, he felt somewhat unwilling. This wretched woman was unlike any other woman he had ever known before, and he had absolutely no idea how to please her.

However, the abdication ceremony was still ongoing, and he couldn't follow! Otherwise, he didn't know how these natives would laugh at him behind his back!

"Ahem, the Empress is not feeling well today and has already left. Please don't worry about her, let's continue."

"So it turns out the Empress is unwell; she certainly needs more rest!" Everyone agreed.

"Alright, now that I've officially appointed the Empress, I have one more thing to inform you all."

"Your Majesty, please speak."

"That concerns your various sects." Upon hearing this, the people from the various sects became somewhat nervous.

"A sect? Our sect is..."

"I have heard that the sect conference jointly organized by your sects will begin soon. I am very interested in it, so I hope... that your conference will be held here!" Dai Dabai pointed to the ground beneath his feet.

"This..." Everyone hesitated.

"What, are you unhappy about this?"

“Your Majesty, this sect assembly has always been held within the sect. Moving it here so abruptly is probably improper!” said an old man.

"I merely allowed it to be held in my palace; what is improper about that?"

"No, Your Majesty, we had no such intention. It's just that the Sect Conference is an important annual gathering of all our sects, and holding it here would be rather lacking in grandeur."

"Indeed, but I believe that a sect conference held in the palace would be more meaningful. In this way, we can show the whole world that the palace is a place where all the major sects prosper together."

"..."

"Your Majesty is right." They decided not to say anything more.

Although the identity of Dai Dabai is unknown, the fact that he can make everyone in the Chen family dare not oppose him means that he must have his own strength.

"In that case, the Sect Conference will be held in my palace. I hope you can invite more sects to participate. I will personally preside over this conference, and at that time, all of your sects can demonstrate their strength to other sects."

"At the same time, I will also give the winner a tremendous reward!"

"Yes, Your Majesty, we will certainly follow your instructions upon our return."

"Very well, then I await the arrival of all your sects. Of course, if any sect is not cooperative, you may report to me!"

"Yes!"

"Bring forth the songstresses! I now wish to join my ministers in a joyful drink!"

……

"Your Majesty, this is your palace. You will live here from now on," a eunuch respectfully introduced to Zhu Zhu.

Zhu Zhu looked at the Xiayue Palace in front of her. Although it couldn't compare to her family's manor, it was still quite magnificent.

"You can go now. I want to be alone for a while," Zhu Zhu said calmly.

"Yes, Your Majesty." The eunuch withdrew.

Zhu Zhu entered the palace alone and slowly closed the door. She sat in front of the dressing table, looking at herself in the mirror, her feelings were very complicated.

It took her a long time to recover.

Life has to go on. No matter how much she hates that scumbag, for the sake of her family, she has to... sigh!

Thinking of this, Zhu Zhu couldn't help but feel a little down, so she began to stroll around the palace.

But as she walked, she noticed a man and a woman talking in a pavilion not far away. The man was incredibly handsome, and the woman was also extremely beautiful with a noble air.

However, the two of them were completely focused on each other at that moment, and it was unclear what they were exchanging.

"That's strange. Logically speaking, Emperor Chen Sui's men should have all left by now. Why are these two so relaxed?"

"And judging from their demeanor, they definitely don't seem like ordinary people!" Zhu Zhu muttered to herself, feeling a bit curious, and took a few steps forward.

"Madam Shen, your injuries have now stabilized. As long as I administer acupuncture a few more times, you should be fully recovered," Chen Xuan said solemnly.

The celebrations over there are so boring; it's much more fun to come here and keep this Mrs. Qiao company.

"Yes, yes, all of this is thanks to Physician Chen. I don't know how to thank you enough!"

"Oh, Madam Shen, what are you saying? This is just my duty. After all, you are the Empress Dowager's sister, aren't you?"

"Is it just... because of this?" Shen Xirou asked softly.
