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

At this moment, Zhu Zhu was wearing a gorgeous red dress, its color as red as the sunset, passionate and deep, as if a flame was leaping on the hem of the dress, making Empress Zhu Zhu look like a noble fairy.

The dress was exquisitely tailored with smooth lines, perfectly showcasing Empress Zhu Zhu's figure.

Her waist was slender, full, and pert, forming a perfect S-curve. The hem of her skirt flowed gracefully with each step of Empress Zhu Zhu, further accentuating her elegance and nobility.

Chen Xuan couldn't help but be attracted by Zhu Zhu's beauty. He secretly sighed, "No wonder she's the kind of girl that even Dai Dabai would fawn over. This girl's temperament and beauty are truly captivating."

"How dare you! Where are you looking?!" Zhu Zhu felt very smug seeing Chen Xuan staring blankly.

Yesterday, this person didn't even bother to look at me, but now, after I've just dressed up a little, he's immediately shown his true colors.

"Ahem, Your Majesty, I pay my respects to the Empress!" Chen Xuan quickly clasped his hands in greeting.

It was really hard for him not to be moved by Zhu Zhu's stunning beauty, which was so captivating that one couldn't even see her feet when she looked down!

When I saw her yesterday, she was completely different. I never expected this woman to be so ruthless to herself and to suppress herself so well!

"Do you still recognize me?" Zhu Zhu looked at Chen Xuan with a half-smile.

"Of course I recognize you. I didn't know you were the Empress yesterday, please forgive me!" Chen Xuan said very politely.

Zhu Zhu smiled, feeling quite pleased with herself. It was like something out of a Dragon King novel, where you're first mocked, then return with an even more powerful identity, making those who mocked you immediately apologize and kneel down – just as satisfying!

She looked at Chen Xuan as if she could see right through his thoughts.

So she said softly, "Physician Chen, you don't need to be so polite. I've heard that your medical skills are superb; you must be a very talented person."

Chen Xuan smiled and said, "Your Majesty flatters me. I was merely doing my best to treat the Empress Dowager's illness."

"Yes, with a divine physician like you, Physician Chen, I believe the Empress Dowager will recover quickly."

"Thank you for your trust, Your Majesty. Your humble servant will do his best to ensure the Empress Dowager's full recovery."

"Yes, that would be perfect!"

"I wonder why the Empress has summoned me here?"

"Well, Miss... I also feel that I haven't been feeling well lately, and I've heard that Physician Chen's medical skills are superb, so I would like you to examine me."

"I see! Then please extend your hand, Your Majesty, so that I may take your pulse!"

"Check your pulse?"

“We need you…” Chen Xuan explained.

"This, how can this be? There's no such treatment method. Are you trying to deceive me?" Zhu Zhu said angrily, her pretty face slightly flushed.

Chen Xuan smiled slightly, knowing that Zhu Zhu was a little shy. He patiently explained, "Your Majesty, please rest assured, this treatment method is very common and has no harm to the body. Only by taking your pulse can I accurately understand your condition and prescribe the right medicine."

Zhu Zhu was very hesitant.

She herself had no problems whatsoever. The reason she claimed to be ill was simply to lay the groundwork so that she could speak more naturally when inquiring about the Empress Dowager's condition later.

But things are different now. Now Chen Xuan is going to go all out to massage his own wrist!

"Doctor Chen, are you sure this is how you take a pulse?" Zhu Zhu was struggling with her own thoughts.

“Yes, that’s exactly it. Only in this way can I see the hidden ailment in your body,” Chen Xuan said with certainty.

"Well, alright then, I'll trust you this once. I hope you won't disappoint me." Zhu Zhu took a deep breath and extended her fair and slender wrist.

As the Empress, the imperial physician naturally wouldn't dare to be too presumptuous, so the pulse diagnosis was most likely genuine. Besides... Chen Xuan was incredibly handsome, far surpassing Dai Dabai in looks; she wasn't at a disadvantage!

Chen Xuan smiled and took Zhu Zhu's wrist, gently pinching her pulse.

In that instant, he felt Zhu Zhu's soft, jade-like skin, and his heart fluttered.

What's worse, Chen Xuan felt that Zhu Zhu was emitting an alluring fragrance, like a blooming rose, which made his heart race.

Little did she know, Zhu Zhu, who was being held by Chen Xuan, was also very nervous. She felt her cheeks burning slightly and lowered her head awkwardly, not daring to look Chen Xuan in the eye.

'So she's incredibly naive. Logically, I shouldn't be allowed to touch her like this. Could it be that she really has a health problem?'

Chen Xuan was puzzled, so he began to carefully take Zhu Zhu's pulse. As a result, he discovered something extraordinary.

'Holy crap, what's going on here? How come the Empress isn't human again? Is Shen Xirou the only normal person?' Chen Xuan thought to himself.

"System, exchange for the Veterinary Proficiency skill for me, otherwise I really can't manage!" Chen Xuan didn't even know what species she was this time.

"Ding! Zhu Zhu is not a demon. She is a descendant of a demon and a human, making her a subhuman. Would you like to change her skill to subhuman proficiency?"

"..."

"Change it! Change it for me!"

"Ding, 5000 Destiny Points deducted. Proficient in Traditional Chinese Medicine of the Demi-human race, now redeemed."

In an instant, all sorts of knowledge appeared in Chen Xuan's mind, including the various races and forms of the demi-human race.

Meanwhile, Zhu Zhu felt the warmth emanating from Chen Xuan's large hand. Even though she was naturally aloof, she couldn't help but feel a little emotional at this moment.

After all, she was just a young girl at that time, and no matter how cold her personality was, she would inevitably have some fantasies.

So she couldn't help but steal a glance at the incredibly handsome Physician Chen, and found that Chen Xuan was very focused and serious at the moment, and couldn't help but feel a little fondness for him.

This man is not only very handsome, but also has a unique temperament that gives people a very comfortable feeling.

"Is it...not ready yet?" she asked softly.

"Your Majesty, your pulse is slightly weak, which seems to be due to recent stress and a very bad mood. This may be related to your life. I suggest you rest more and keep a cheerful mood," Chen Xuan said earnestly as he released his hand.

Zhu Zhu was slightly surprised by Chen Xuan's words. She hadn't expected that the doctor could tell that she was in a bad mood! However, this was exactly the result she wanted. She nodded slightly, indicating that she agreed with Chen Xuan's diagnosis.

"Then, do I need to take any medicine?" Zhu Zhu asked with some "worry".

"That won't be necessary. You just need to get some rest and keep a cheerful mood."

"Hmm, that's excellent. What reward would you like?"

"Your Majesty, you are too kind. This is what I should do. If you have no further instructions, I will take my leave now," Chen Xuan said.

There's nothing seriously wrong with Zhu Zhu; clearly, something else is waiting for her!

"Imperial Physician Chen, wait a moment. I... have something else to ask you." Zhu Zhu said suddenly, her cheeks slightly flushed.

Upon hearing this, Chen Xuan stopped and said, "Your Majesty, please speak."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Zhu blushed even more and said awkwardly, "Physician Chen, what do you think of my attire today?"

This was the rhetoric Dai Dabai taught her, designed to make Chen Xuan feel aroused.

However, she still found it difficult to say the sentence fluently, but precisely because of this, the effect was even better. In Chen Xuan's eyes, this was a sign of her shyness.

Chen Xuan carefully examined Zhu Zhu and finally nodded, saying, "Your Majesty the Empress is dressed very beautifully today, like a fairy descending to earth."

Zhu Zhu felt a little pleased after hearing Chen Xuan's praise.

She continued, "Doctor Chen, do you think my usual makeup looks better, or my makeup today?"

Chen Xuan smiled slightly and said, "Your Majesty's usual makeup makes her appear more dignified and elegant, while today's makeup makes her appear more charming and alluring."

Zhu Zhu's smile grew even brighter after hearing Chen Xuan's reply.
