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

Upon hearing Chen Xuan's words, She Jingxi felt as if she had fallen into an ice cave.

She had just been treated by Chen Xuan, and he even said that he would treat her first before giving her the information. Does that mean...?

"You, you attacked me?" She looked at the man in front of her with suspicion and disbelief.

In an instant, Chen Xuan's change of identity, coupled with Shen Xirou's concealment of the truth from her, and all these unpleasant things began to constantly stimulate her nerves, making her extremely sensitive.

"?"

"How is this possible? Is something wrong with you?" Chen Xuan shrugged.

Just because it's not there now doesn't mean it won't be in the future!

"Stop guessing. If I had really been bribed by him, why would I be telling you here? Wouldn't that be redundant?"

"Hmph, that arrogant guy Dai Dabai, if his plan really succeeds, he might just let you show off to his face!" She still didn't quite trust Chen Xuan.

"Fine, I'm just telling you something, and you're already suspecting me! Well then, tell me, what do you want me to do for you to believe me!"

“This…” She Jingxi fell silent. She felt that Chen Xuan had not betrayed her, but the unease in her heart prevented her from getting over it.

Chen Xuan was right. If he truly wanted to betray her, he wouldn't have told her this. However, her strength was currently greatly diminished, her confidence was severely lacking, and her inner fear prevented her from fully trusting Chen Xuan.

"Since that's the case, then I do have something I'd like to ask you!"

"Please enlighten me, Your Majesty," Chen Xuan replied respectfully.

"You must be aware that Shen Xirou is about to break through to the Nascent Soul stage," She Jingxi asked Chen Xuan calmly.

"I am naturally aware of this matter, but what does it have to do with this?" Chen Xuan asked, puzzled.

"Hehe, I know Xirou quite well. If she hadn't had some fortuitous encounter recently, she wouldn't have had any chance of breaking through, not even after her old injuries healed!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Xuan was startled. It seemed that the Empress Dowager couldn't wait any longer and was going to start questioning him from this angle! But at this moment, he couldn't show any weakness.

"Um, I don't know much about that!"

Seeing this, She Jingxi's lips curled into a mocking smile, and she continued, "Chen Xuan, stop pretending to be confused! I know far more than you think, don't treat me like a fool!"

After she finished speaking, She Jingxi's lower body suddenly transformed into a beautiful and slender snake tail, which directly wrapped around Chen Xuan.

Yes, it's a green and red snake, it's really beautiful.

Chen Xuan could have dodged, but he didn't. In his eyes, She Jingxi was just a minor Golden Core cultivator, whom he could suppress with a flick of his hand.

"I didn't see a trace of panic or surprise in your eyes. It seems you know me quite well!"

Chen Xuan smiled slightly.

"When I first met Your Majesty, I already knew your identity very well, and that was even more true when I treated you later."

She Jingxi tied Chen Xuan up in front of her.

"Now, I demand that you tell the truth!"

"Are you going to confront me?" Chen Xuan smiled calmly, grabbed the snake's tail, and gently stroked it in his hand.

She Jingxi trembled instantly, and could no longer tie Chen Xuan tightly.

"Let me go!"

"I'm asking you a question. Have you come clean with me?"

"If, if the information you brought me is true, then I think it is. If I don't start with you, I'll lose my life."

She opened her vertical pupils, flicked out her forked tongue, and tried to bite Chen Xuan, but unfortunately, she couldn't.

"Hey, what's with your reaction? I'm the victim here, you're making it sound like I'm the one bullying you!" Chen Xuan complained, looking at She Jingxi's reaction.

"Quickly, let go!"

She Jingxi couldn't hold on any longer and transformed back into her demon form, regaining her legs.

However, at this moment, her legs were tightly clamped around Chen Xuan, and she was hanging on Chen Xuan's body.

"Hey, are you trying to scam me? I didn't move an inch!" Chen Xuan said cheekily again.

She Jingxi couldn't hold back any longer, hugged Chen Xuan's neck, and bit him on the back.

"Ouch! Ouch! Ouch! I'm not teasing you anymore. I'm telling you, okay? Let go! You're a snake, not a dog! Let go, okay?!" Chen Xuan immediately begged for mercy.

A hint of pleasure flashed in She Jingxi's eyes, and the corners of her mouth turned up slightly, but she still did not give in.

"Snapped!"

"Woo~!"

She Jingxi relented, staring at Chen Xuan in disbelief; she was dumbfounded.

However, the two remained close together, this time with Chen Xuan supporting She Jingxi.

"You...you dare to hit me?" She looked at Chen Xuan in disbelief.

Chen Xuan coughed lightly: "I'm asking you to let go! See, you bit me, and I hit you back, so we're even. Now you can tell me, right?"

She Jingxi blushed and glared angrily at Chen Xuan: "You bastard, how dare you hit me! You bastard!"

Chen Xuan looked at her innocently: "That's because you bit too hard. If you hadn't let go, I wouldn't have just hit you."

She Jingxi glared at him angrily, then turned her head to the side: "Hmph! I'll bite you to death, you bastard, it'll all be for the good of the people!"

"Um, is it possible—I mean, just maybe—that you're the one who caused the harm?"

"You!!! I'm going to kill you!" With that, She Jingxi lunged at him again.

"Snapped!"

She sat up straight.

"I really can't stand you anymore! Can't you just be nice to me?!" Chen Xuan said with a wry smile.

"You! You're the one who accused me first! I didn't even bite you, you were the one who started it!" She Jingxi's face was flushed as she glared angrily at Chen Xuan.

If he weren't still useful, I would have definitely killed him! Yes, I would definitely have killed him!

Chen Xuan shook his head and reached out to pat She Jingxi's head: "Okay, don't be angry. We've gotten so far off topic. Don't you want to know what's going on with Xirou?"

"I know what's going on with her, it's that special technique of yours that allows people to break through quickly!" She Jingxi was too lazy to pretend anymore.
