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

"Hmm, you know how to talk! But you held my wrist for so long just now, do you have some secret you're hiding?!"

She added that sentence herself.

"Ahem, no, that's not it. If Your Majesty had stated your race from the beginning, perhaps I could have diagnosed you much faster," Chen Xuan said with a slight smile.

Zhu Zhu's expression changed drastically in an instant. She hadn't expected that Chen Xuan would find out her secrets!

"You...you found out?!"

“That’s right. If I’m not mistaken, Your Highness must be a creature born from the union of a Netherworld Cat and a human.”

"You...you can guess just by taking a pulse?! But there's no way anyone of our race could exist in this Mountain and Sea Realm. Who exactly are you?!"

Zhu Zhu was somewhat shocked. At this moment, she no longer regarded Chen Xuan as a native from the lower realm, but as a genius of the same or even higher level as her!

"I am merely a physician in this harem, Your Majesty need not be alarmed." Chen Xuan was slightly taken aback, realizing he had misspoke. The Mountain and Sea Realm was a small world, and he hadn't really considered this aspect.

"Will you talk or not? If you don't, I'll kill you!" She pulled out her dagger, trying to intimidate Chen Xuan.

"Since that's the case, why don't you give it a try, Your Majesty? But I must warn you beforehand that fists and feet have no eyes, and if you are accidentally injured, I hope you won't blame me," Chen Xuan said with a smile.

Since he had let it slip, he could only tell the little empress to "shut up."

So he used the Nascent Soul Experience Card.

"How brave!"

Seeing Chen Xuan's fearless demeanor, Zhu Zhu felt a surge of anger. After a moment's thought, she decided to step forward and test his strength.

Zhu Zhu gripped the dagger, unleashing the aura of a seventh-level Nascent Soul cultivator, and fiercely stabbed at Chen Xuan. However, she did not aim for a vital spot, but rather for Chen Xuan's shoulder.

However, just as the dagger was about to touch Chen Xuan, Chen Xuan suddenly reached out a hand and easily grabbed her wrist.

Zhu Zhu was startled and tried to break free, but she found that Chen Xuan was very strong and she could not break free at all.

"Your Majesty, what are you doing? Are you tickling me?" Chen Xuan teased with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Zhu Zhu became somewhat annoyed. She immediately took the dagger with her other hand and stabbed it fiercely at Chen Xuan. However, the latter smiled gently and swiftly reached out with his other hand, grabbing Zhu Zhu's other hand as well.

"Your Majesty, please don't do anything reckless. It would be terrible if you were really hurt," Chen Xuan reminded her.

Zhu Zhu was shocked to hear this. She had not expected Chen Xuan to be so powerful, and that she was powerless to resist him.

Then, Chen Xuan grabbed both of Zhu Zhu's wrists with one hand, snatched the dagger from her hand, and kept moving forward until Zhu Zhu was pressed against the wall.

However, Zhu Zhu's temper flared up at this moment. She snorted coldly and said, "Chen Xuan, don't think that just because you're strong you can do whatever you want! I... I was just careless and didn't use my skill!"

"Yes, Your Majesty is right. But it's a pity that with great power, one can do whatever one wants!" Chen Xuan moved closer again and took a deep breath.

Zhu Zhu trembled slightly as Chen Xuan's masculine aura pressed towards her from all directions, causing her heart to race.

She didn't know if it was nervousness or something else.

"Who are you, and what do you want?"

"I am the imperial physician. As for what I want to do? Didn't Your Majesty ask me to treat your illness? But unfortunately, you insist on attacking me!"

"You!" Zhu Zhu was furious, but she had nothing to say. It was indeed she who started it.

"So, Your Majesty, what do you intend to do?" Chen Xuan leaned forward again.

As the handsome man drew closer, Zhu Zhu bit her lip, trying her best to remain calm. She knew she absolutely could not be "intimidated" by Chen Xuan's imposing presence.

Chen Xuan looked at Zhu Zhu, a slight smile appearing on his lips. Although this Empress seemed very strong, in reality, she was quite vulnerable inside.

"What? What do you mean I want to do? You treacherous scoundrel! Do you want to see what you're doing?!"

"Your Majesty, I had no choice but to do this, otherwise I would have lost my life! Since I'm going to die anyway, why should I compromise?"

"I...I clearly didn't attack your vital points!"

Chen Xuan ignored Zhu Zhu, his gaze fixed on her face, wanting to properly appreciate her... cough cough!

Zhu Zhu also stared wide-eyed, not to be outdone. She didn't know what Chen Xuan wanted to do, but she knew he was a shrew.

After a brief standoff, Zhu Zhu finally couldn't bear it any longer, and her face began to flush.

"What exactly do you want? Name your price!" Zhu Zhu asked.

"Don't you know what I want to do?" Chen Xuan asked with a smile.

"You..." Zhu Zhu's face turned bright red instantly. She swallowed nervously, unsure of how to answer.

"No, no, I can grant you other requests!"

"That won't do. I'm a man of my word, and I'm not afraid to tell you that I have a limited number of times I can take action. You've forced me to take action once, so you'll have to pay the price!"

After Chen Xuan finished speaking, he pressed himself against him.
