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

"This... I still feel it's not quite right!" Dai Dabai hesitated.

"You're such a stingy guy! Don't tell me you care about the lower realms!" Zhu Zhu's voice turned cold.

Seeing that Zhu Zhu was angry, Dai Dabai quickly said, "Okay, okay, I promise you, I promise Physician Chen that I will attend the sect conference!"

Zhu Zhu nodded coldly after hearing this, then turned and left.

“I don’t care about the lower realm, but it seems like you do care quite a bit,” Dai Dabai muttered to himself as he watched Zhu Zhu leave.

"Could it be... that Zhu Zhu has taken a liking to that pretty boy?!" he suddenly wondered.

"No, that's absolutely impossible! A noble person like me, let alone a native from the lower realm, even if a noble from the cultivation world came, she would still look down on me. I am still the crown prince!"

"I'm probably overthinking it. Maybe this is Chen Xuan's request. After all, we need to keep Chen Xuan calm right now, and she probably already agreed! If I refuse, she'll be in an awkward position!"

"That makes much more sense! Men, keep the music playing, keep the dancing going!"

……

In the Empress Dowager's bedroom, Chen Xuan and She Jingxi were sitting facing each other.

"Husband, husband is back. Why are you staring at me like that? Is there something on my face?"

"We've been cultivating together for so long, and you've never called me 'husband' before. Why are you calling me that now?" Chen Xuan said with a smile.

"What? What do you mean I never called you that? Didn't I say that when you bullied me?!"

"Ahem, that doesn't count. That's not what you really meant."

"Tch, mind your own business! I'll call you whatever I want! Husband, husband, husband!" She Jingxi pouted, looking haughty.

"Then tell me, why did you suddenly start calling me husband? Are you hiding something?" Chen Xuan asked with a smile.

Upon hearing this, She Jingxi's heart skipped a beat.

"You, you're so annoying. Do you even need to ask? Of course it's because... because..." She Jingxi blushed and couldn't speak for a long time.

"Why?" Chen Xuan teased her on purpose.

“Because of me…” She Jingxi was so anxious that she was about to cry.

"Because you secretly went to see Zhao Tianming behind my back? Hmm?"

"Huh? You, you knew all along!"

"Of course I know. You'd better tell me the truth. Confess and you'll be treated leniently; resist and you'll be punished severely!" Chen Xuan said calmly.

After all, the system had already given him a heads-up. For some reason, She Jingxi had severed all ties with Zhao Tianming and would never speak to him again. So there must be some irreconcilable conflict between them.

However, she really dared to meet with Zhao Tianming behind my back, so I have to teach her a lesson!

"Ah... I, I..." She Jingxi was quite frightened and panicked, unable to speak for a moment.

"What, you don't want to tell me?" Chen Xuan continued to press.

"Husband, please, please spare me!" Seeing that her secret had been exposed, She Jingxi trembled with fear and looked pitifully at Chen Xuan. She was terrified of losing him.

"That won't do. You need to explain to me properly what you mean by this." Chen Xuan deliberately put on a stern face, pretending to be very angry.

"Yes, that's how it is..." Seeing that Chen Xuan was angry, She Jingxi quickly explained the whole story, including how she was saved by Zhao Tianming, telling Chen Xuan everything in detail.

Upon hearing this, Chen Xuan frowned.

It seems that Zhao Tianming is quite capable of maneuvering. As expected of the protagonist, he can use any means to improve himself! I can't wait any longer; I need to speed up the process of plundering his luck.

"System, bring up Zhao Tianming's panel!"

"Ding, querying, please wait."

A person of destiny: Zhao Tianming

Cultivation level: Early stage of Golden Core (stabilizing)

Constitution: Blood Yang Body, Minor Achievement

Cultivation Technique: Wuji Divine Skill (Incomplete)

Skills: Fiery Sword Technique (Fragment), Dragon Soaring and Tiger Leaping (Fragment), Underworld and Azure Heaven (Fragment)...

Luck Value: (Has some trump cards; please act with caution, host)

Items: A remnant soul from a jade pendant around the neck, 50 low-grade spirit stones...

Current status: Eager to consolidate their cultivation and prepare to participate in the sect competition to seize opportunities.

"He's already broken through to the Golden Core stage? That's pretty fast! But didn't he start out without any physique? How come he has some kind of Blood Yang Physique now?"

"Ding! It's normal for such a chosen one to have some extraordinary encounters. Host, you don't need to worry too much, but you must be careful!"

"Are there still ten thousand left? It seems the vast majority of them are tied up in that remnant soul. I need to find a way to get my hands on it!"

Seeing that Chen Xuan remained silent, She Jingxi's heart sank to the bottom.

"Husband, husband, rest assured, I swear on my Dao heart that I have never had any physical contact with Zhao Tianming from beginning to end! Never!"

After saying that, she actually made a vow, then got up and knelt down next to Chen Xuan.

"My husband, please forgive me. I will never see any man other than you again!"

Chen Xuan was also startled by her action, and he quickly pulled She Jingxi up.

"What are you doing? I didn't mean to blame you. Have we become so distrustful of each other?" Chen Xuan picked up She Jingxi and slapped her hard.

"I'm just glad my husband doesn't blame me for acting on my own!" She Jingxi's eyes were filled with tenderness.

"Who said I don't blame you? You knew he was my enemy, yet you still gave him cultivation resources. Aren't you stupid?!"

“I…I just don’t want to have anything to do with him anymore, not even the slightest thing!” She Jingxi said.

Upon hearing this, Lu Yun smiled slightly. She Jingxi's approach was indeed effective; it was precisely because she did this that Zhao Tianming's luck value decreased, while she herself gained destiny value.

"But this still constitutes aiding the enemy, and you must be punished!"

"I...I am willing to accept any punishment!"

……

……

Then, taking advantage of She Jingxi's guilty conscience, Chen Xuan directly led She Jingxi into the secret realm, and then cultivated with the other women to prepare for the sect conference.

Only on these occasions will she not be jealous.

In the blink of an eye, 10 days have passed.

During this period, his cultivation level also improved slightly. In addition, some of his wives and daughters became pregnant with their second child, and the system rewarded him with some cultivation and destiny points, which caused his strength to surge to the late stage of Golden Core, approaching the Nascent Soul stage!

However, Chen Xuan's appearance at this moment was not very attractive; he didn't look well at all.

Not only were her eyes puffy, but she also had large dark circles and a somewhat dull complexion. Meanwhile, the other women were all beaming with joy and radiant.

Clearly, Chen Xuan did not properly manage the power of his "enemies" during his cultivation.

"Ahem, alright, judging by the dates, the sect conference is about to begin, so Jingxi and I won't stay here any longer. See you in a few days!" Chen Xuan wanted to escape.

"Yes, yes, husband, please be careful and don't get hurt!" Chen Wenwen added.

"Don't worry, with my strength, I'll crush them completely over there. No one can stop me!"

"Alright, alright, you're the best, my husband! Jingxi, you too, you must keep a close eye on your husband!"

"Don't worry, little girl, no matter what, I'm still at the Nascent Soul stage. No one in this Mountain and Sea Realm can be my match!" She Jingxi assured her.

After spending these days together, She Jingxi has completely integrated into Chen Xuan's family. She feels especially close to Chen Wenwen, a younger generation member, and even feels a little... well, you can't say!
