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

At this point, Zhou Wan'er was no longer afraid of being bullied by Chen Xuan. If Chen Xuan left, she might die without knowing why!

Chen Xuan, however, was well aware of the inside story.

"Zhao Dalong" was the eunuch who accompanied Zhou Wan'er back then!

He never intended to kill Zhou Wan'er; he wanted to become a real man and then be a real husband and wife with her!

However, before that, he needed to enter the Zhou family's secret realm to obtain a nourishing medicine to replenish himself.

Although this great medicine is not the lifeblood of the Zhou royal family, it is still a precious medicine that can bring the dead back to life and heal flesh and bones. Why would they give it to a eunuch?

So Zhao Dalong decided to sneak in by himself. But the condition for entering this secret realm was that one needed the essence blood of a person with pure Zhou family royal blood.

Although Zhou Wan'er has no spiritual root, her bloodline is very pure, so she can extract essence blood. Although that would make her weak for a long time, it would not be fatal.

As for why he didn't act sooner, it was because he was also making preparations. This trip was fraught with peril; without thorough preparation, there was simply no chance of survival!

However, in the original story, Zhou Wan'er still died. Ultimately, her blood fell into Qin Feng's hands, allowing him to successfully enter the secret realm and meet the main female protagonist of the story, Zhou Jingqi.

Chen Xuan glanced at the mature beauty Zhou Wan'er, her face streaked with tears, and sighed helplessly. Since this woman was so resolute, he couldn't very well refuse, could he?

"Alright then, how can I help you?"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Wan'er's spirits lifted. She quickly wiped away her tears and handed the things she had prepared to Chen Xuan.

Chen Xuan glanced at it and immediately rejected it.

"Although this place is not far from the capital, even if your father sends someone over, Lady Zhao is still in his hands. Given the fear of harming her, it will be difficult to rescue her. This plan is not feasible!"

"Furthermore, do you really think your father would go against a Golden Core cultivator for the sake of a mere mortal like you? To put it nicely, you're marrying down to Zhao Dalong, but as far as I know, your father practically gave you away to Lord Zhao back then!"

The Zhou royal family is not considered strong. It is said that the founding emperor was a legendary Nascent Soul cultivator, but unfortunately his descendants are useless, and the highest cultivation level they have reached so far is only the Nascent Soul stage.

Even sects that used to obey the royal family's orders are now being forced to defer to the royal family's wishes. These sects are amassed wealth and recruiting geniuses across the land, and the royal family doesn't dare to say a word!

Upon hearing Chen Xuan's words, Zhou Wan'er's face turned pale instantly.

"No, no, my father..."

As she spoke, she fell silent. She recalled the time when the eunuch protecting her died on her wedding day, and her father, King Zhou Li, flew into a rage.

"So, Madam Zhao, although I don't know what Lord Zhao is planning, you're probably a pawn now!"

"But, but I really have no other way!" Zhou Wan'er cried, tears streaming down her face.

Chen Xuan pondered for a moment and said, "Madam Zhao, this matter is very tricky, but I will do my best to help you. Next, I need your cooperation; we will put on a show together."

"Very well, Wan'er will obey Mr. Chen's orders!"

Zhou Wan'er didn't ask about the specific plan. Chen Xuan was her only hope now. She would do whatever Chen Xuan asked her to do. As a mortal, she really didn't want to die!

……

"Lord Zhao, your wife's illness is indeed difficult to cure and will require long-term treatment for a full recovery!"

"No problem, no problem at all. As long as Master Chen can cure my wife, it doesn't matter if it takes a little longer!" Zhao Dalong said with a smile.

Anyway, he wasn't ready to go to the secret realm yet, so a little more time was fine; he could wait!

"Then I will come once a week to treat your wife."

"So good!"

"This is the reward I prepared for you, Master Chen. I hope you will accept it. Please also give my regards to your master!" After saying that, Zhao Dalong handed over a storage bag.

Whenever Chen Xuan's master was mentioned, a beautiful figure flashed through his mind.

"Damn Han Wanqing, you stupid woman! I've done so much for you with all my heart, and in the end, you still ruthlessly abandoned me!"

"Fine, at least I won't have to fawn over your stinky...fragrant body every day anymore!"

Yes, ever since Chen Xuan lost his cultivation, his master Han Wanqing has never seen him again. She only gave him some low-grade spirit stones and a note that told him to take care of himself!

However, his expression quickly returned to its coldness.

"I will. Goodbye."

After saying that, Chen Xuan returned to the Qin family with the storage bag.

No one came to ask Chen Xuan for guidance today, as everyone knows he's newly married, so no one came at this time.

"Husband, you don't look well. Is something wrong?"

Chen Xuan was taken aback.

He quickly realized what he had done and forced a smile: "It's nothing. I was just thinking about something and got a little distracted."

Lin Shuiyao nodded and didn't press further. Her husband had his reasons for not wanting to talk about it, and she wouldn't pry.

Days passed by, and before they knew it, it was time for Lin Shuiyao to give birth.

During this period, Chen Xuan would visit the City Lord's Mansion every week, and he and Zhou Wan'er became extremely familiar with each other.

At the same time, Jin Ruoyan would also take time to cultivate with Chen Xuan, but because of her best friend Liu Yanxin, Jin Ruoyan has not yet realized that she should become a mother.

However, the cultivation resources that the Jin family was supposed to provide to Qin Feng were now directly given to Chen Xuan, and Chen Xuan thus intercepted a portion of Qin Feng's Destiny Values.

"It's a boy! Master! The madam has given birth!"

Azi excitedly ran out and told Chen Xuan and Jin Ruoyan the good news outside the door.

This was a big day for their family, so Jin Ruoyan had been staying at the Qin family's house these past few days. However, her husband was rather clingy, leaving her exhausted every day and unable to properly cultivate.

"Ding! Congratulations, host, for giving birth to a pseudo-spiritual root offspring. Reward: 5 years of cultivation, 1 top-grade Foundation Establishment Pill, 3000 Destiny Points, and activation of the Family System!"

In an instant, Chen Xuan felt his body become much lighter, and his cultivation was about to break through!

However, Chen Xuan clearly didn't care about that at the moment; he was eager to see his wife and children.

Upon entering, he saw Lin Shuiyao holding a baby, looking at Chen Xuan with a happy expression.

"Thank you for your hard work, Shuiyao."

Lin Shuiyao smiled and gently shook her head. Actually, after gaining cultivation, childbirth doesn't take half a person's life like it does for ordinary people.

"This is what I should do. I am also very happy to give birth to a healthy baby for my husband."

“Husband, look, this child has delicate features; he’ll definitely grow up to be a handsome young man,” Jin Ruoyan said with a smile.

Chen Xuan took a closer look and saw that although the baby had just been born, it had regular features, smooth skin, and its eyebrows and eyes were quite similar to Chen Xuan's.

He was overjoyed and gently stroked the baby's little hand, a warm feeling spreading throughout his body.

This is the child who shares the same dragon bloodline as him!

"Husband, let's name the child!" Lin Shuiyao looked at Chen Xuan expectantly.

Chen Xuan pondered for a moment, then smiled and said, "Let's call him Chen Ping'an. I hope he has a peaceful life."

"Chen Ping'an, what a good name!" Lin Shuiyao nodded in satisfaction. "Our son will definitely grow up to be just like my husband, handsome and intelligent!"

Chen Xuan and Lin Shuiyao smiled at each other, immersed in the joy of becoming fathers for the first time.
