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

After Shen Xirou arrived at Chen Xuan's secret room, he took her to the Blue Star Secret Realm for a closed-door cultivation breakthrough.

Chen Xuan also prevented her from meeting the other women, as that would affect her mindset and could lead to the failure of her seclusion.

Before going into seclusion, Shen Xirou also told Chen Xuan that the Empress Dowager was acting a little strange today, and that they should be careful.

Chen Xuan smiled slightly after hearing this, not taking it to heart.

She's just an agent, currently only at the early stage of the Golden Core realm. I can suppress her with one hand, so there's no need to worry about her too much.

Little did he know that the relaxed Chen Xuan at this moment would...

Not long after leaving the secret realm, Empress Zhu Zhu summoned him again. Chen Xuan made some preparations and then went there.

Zhu Zhu has been going through a lot of hardship these past few days.

She has been like this ever since Chen Xuan bullied her so badly and she lost something.

At the same time, she felt a little scared and uneasy, after all, Chen Xuan knew all her secrets, and Chen Xuan was still a mystery to her!

Furthermore, Dai Dabai's plan was disrupted by that incident, but she still has to continue working on it.

The worst part is that these past few days, the image and appearance of that lecherous Chen Xuan have been flashing through her mind from time to time! No matter how hard she tries, she can't shake him off!

In the end, she couldn't resist any longer and summoned Chen Xuan again.

"Your humble servant pays respects to the Empress."

"No need for formalities, you may all leave. I need to speak with Physician Chen alone." Zhu Zhu hurriedly dismissed the palace maids.

When Chen Xuan saw that only the two of them were left in the room, his expression relaxed. He then slowly walked to Zhu Zhu's phoenix bed and sat down on it.

"you……!"

"Little cat girl, what can I do for you? Are you feeling unwell, or would you like me to take a look?"

"Enough, you treacherous minister! I summoned you here to discuss important matters, not to listen to you, to listen to you…!" Zhu Zhu glared at Chen Xuan with a cold face, but her ears were slightly red.

Chen Xuan smiled upon hearing this.

He stood up abruptly, grabbed Zhu Zhu's arm, pulled her into his embrace, and took a deep breath.

"What's wrong, little catgirl? What's bothering you? Just tell your brother!"

"Get away!" Zhu Zhu shoved Chen Xuan away.

Chen Xuan smiled and didn't care. If he acted too properly, Zhu Zhu would become suspicious. This was just right.

"Speak, what is it? I'll answer anything you know!"

“Last time, you said that we were practically allies, but you know me very well while I only have a vague understanding of you. I think that’s very unfair!” Zhu Zhu said.

She was somewhat curious about Chen Xuan's identity, but not to the point that she absolutely had to know. Asking now was merely to make some assessments of her own safety.

"Oh? What do you want to know about me?"

"I just want to know, who are you? Why do you know about our race?"

"I cannot reveal my true identity, as it concerns my safety. However, I can tell you that I have no hostility towards you, and personally, I would be quite willing to help you."

A hint of doubt flashed in Zhu Zhu's eyes, but seeing Chen Xuan's firm gaze, she inexplicably wanted to choose to believe him.

Because Chen Xuan really had no reason to lie to her. He could suppress her with one hand, so whether he lied to her or not was really meaningless.

"Aren't you from this world? Otherwise, how would you know about us demi-humans!"

"I am a person from this realm of mountains and seas, and the reason why I know... is a long story!"

"Can you tell me this? This won't affect your identity, will it?" Zhu Zhu looked intently at Chen Xuan.

"This is my secret, and I seem to have the right not to tell you! Of course, if you are... hehe!" Chen Xuan lowered his head.

Zhu Zhu immediately hugged herself.

"This is absolutely, absolutely impossible!"

"Alright then, if you're willing to tell me some secrets about the upper realm, then I can tell you this!"

"What...what do you want to know?"

"Information about your identity, the identity of that new emperor! And some information about the Upper Realm!"

"This..." Zhu Zhu was very conflicted.

"Fine, don't say anything then, you have no sincerity at all!" Chen Xuan got up to leave.

"No, don't go, I'll tell you! But you absolutely, absolutely cannot lie to me!"

"Tch, I was worried you were lying to me!"

"You...! Fine, I'll tell you!" Zhu Zhu gritted her teeth and told Chen Xuan the whole story.

"The White Tiger Empire, the kingdom of demi-humans... Prince Dai Dabai? Your name is Zhu Zhu, and you're a nobleman?!" A sudden thought flashed through Chen Xuan's mind.

“That’s right, is there a problem?” Zhu Zhu said indifferently.

"No, no, no, then why are you here? Isn't that the cultivation world up there?"

"That's the cultivation world up there! What are you talking about?" Zhu Zhu was increasingly confused.

"Isn't this the territory of the Zhang family in the Upper Realm?"

"Oh, this matter... well, it's a long story..."

"Snapped!"

"Then get to the point!"

"You, you, you actually dare to...!" Zhu Zhu pointed at Chen Xuan angrily, her fingers trembling.

But in the end, she took a deep breath and endured it.

He's already done far worse things, so what's one more? Besides, I'm no match for him anyway...

"This brings us to our master, Master Yugang..." Zhu Zhu recounted the ins and outs of the upper realm to Chen Xuan once again. After listening, Chen Xuan sat down on the ground with a thud.

"What's wrong? Are you alright?"

"Damn it, we've actually run into you guys!" Chen Xuan looked at Zhu Zhu, his eyes now filled with undisguised fervor.

The girl was startled by that look and took a few steps back.

"Don't worry, little cat... Miss Zhu, I will never do anything excessive to you again. I was wrong before, and I apologize to you."

"What are you planning now??"

"No, I have simply come to my senses!"

"Wake up, wake up?!"

“That’s right. I was too arrogant and domineering before, and I didn’t understand that there are always people more capable than me and that there is always something beyond my understanding. Now, thanks to your guidance, Miss Zhu, I have come to my senses! If I could, I would kiss your toes to show my loyalty!”

"What nonsense are you spouting!" The girl blushed deeply upon hearing Chen Xuan's last sentence.

"I am not speaking nonsense, I am serious! Please give me a chance, Your Highness!"
