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

"Calling you junior sister? That won't do. The Empress is much more interesting. Although you've lost a bit of your charm now, that can still be cultivated. Then... hehehe!"

Chen Xuan grinned wickedly.

"When the time comes, what do you want to do?" Zhu Zhu snuggled closer to Chen Xuan.

"What do you think, Empress... Ouch, ouch, ouch! Who taught you this? Let go of me right now!" Before Chen Xuan could finish speaking, Zhu Zhu had already pinched the soft flesh around his waist.

"Hmph! Serves you right for being so unserious and so outrageous!" The girl smiled smugly.

Chen Xuan grabbed the girl's hand and said, "You know I'm a man of my word! Even if you pinch me, I'll still...!"

"You!" Zhu Zhu blushed.

"You're utterly ignorant. Once you reach the Upper Realm and encounter the forces behind Dai Dabai, you'll realize just how insignificant you are. Only I, with my kind heart, can... can forgive a lecher like you!"

"Hehe, then I can finally savor this delicious dish!" Chen Xuan licked his lips and bent down...

"Well……"

"Anyway, I can't beat him. Even if Dai Dabai comes, he's no match for him. What I'm doing... is actually protecting us! That's right, I'm protecting us!"

……

After an unknown amount of time, just as the cat's eyes were glazed over, Chen Xuan relaxed.

"Huh?" The kitten tilted its head, looking puzzled.

But she quickly realized that a relationship between her and Chen Xuan was absolutely impossible! Even now…

"Chen Xuan, you, you're too rational!" Although she was also sober, she still uttered these words softly.

"Huh??" Chen Xuan was a little confused.

He was just teasing people a little as usual... cough cough, it's just a kitten, why is he so rational! Could it be that this girl...?!

Jie Jie Jie!

"Is it that you don't like me at all, and prefer the Empress Dowager type?!" Zhu Zhu seemed to remember something, her face full of anger, and she stretched out her jade foot to stomp on Chen Xuan.

"What is all this nonsense? When did I ever say anything like that?!"

"Just now, you said I lacked a certain charm!!" The girl grew angrier the more she thought about it. She didn't know why, but since she was already behaving like a resentful woman who had been abandoned, she might as well get to the bottom of it!

She can dislike Chen Xuan, but it's absolutely unacceptable for Chen Xuan to dislike her!

Upon seeing this, Chen Xuan's lips curled up slightly. He then grabbed the girl's delicate foot and pulled it closer to him.

"Baby, you're overthinking it. In my heart, you'll always be the most beautiful."

Zhu Zhu was somewhat incredulous, her face flushing red: "Are you telling the truth? But you weren't saying that about me just now..."

"No, you are the perfect kitten."

"Then...then why did you say I have no charm?" Zhu Zhu raised her head, a hint of expectation in her eyes.

Chen Xuan was both amused and exasperated, but still explained, "Baby, don't misunderstand. What I said lacked a bit of nuance. I was just saying that your personality isn't mature enough yet."

Although you do lack some of the mature charm of the Empress Dowager, that doesn't mean you're bad.

Upon hearing this, Zhu Zhu breathed a sigh of relief, but still couldn't help but snort, no longer wanting to pay attention to Chen Xuan.

"Now that you've brought this up, it wouldn't be right for me not to take action, wouldn't it?" Chen Xuan hugged the person in his arms tightly.

"No, doing this will harm us, not only us, but also my family. I'm sorry, I'm sorry..." This time, Zhu Zhu shook her head.

"Hmm... In that case, how are you going to make it up to me?"

"Why should I compensate you? I don't owe you anything... Ah!"

"If I say you'll compensate me, then you have to compensate me. Otherwise, don't blame me for finding another way!"

"Then, how can I compensate you? I have some spirit stones or treasures..."

"No, what you're saying is too ordinary, I don't want it!"

"Oh? What do you want then? You know me, I can't give you anything else!"

"Show me your tail first? It's been so long since I've petted a cat, let me give you a good brushing today!"

Zhu Zhu's cheeks instantly turned bright red.

The tail is the most precious thing to them, the civet cats. How can they just give it to anyone, especially a man...!

However, under pressure, she obediently did as she was told, and before Chen Xuan could speak, she conjured up cat ears as well.

"You are even more captivating than this; you are perfect!" Chen Xuan praised without reservation.

"Ha, men! You only have this much perverse sense of humor!" The girl turned her head away, her face flushed.

Chen Xuan remained silent, stroking the kitten's fur for a while before stating his second request.

"Kneel down."

"Huh? Why should I kneel down to you!" Zhu Zhu was puzzled and a surge of anger rose within her.

Is this the kind of humiliation you'd expect?

Seeing this, Chen Xuan sighed. As expected, she was just a young girl who didn't understand anything.

"What I mean is, if you, as the Empress, were to kneel before a mere imperial physician like me, wouldn't I be so overjoyed I'd practically fly away?!"

"You, how can you be so shallow, so boring! Such a vain person!" Zhu Zhu instantly understood Chen Xuan's meaning; it was his vanity at work.

"Just this one hundred million times, okay, baby!"

"Sigh! This is a one-time thing!" Zhu Zhu sighed, left Chen Xuan, and then slowly knelt down.

"Good, good, good, hehehe!" Chen Xuan sat in the chair that an emperor should sit in, and his spiritual energy burst forth, directly sucking the vermilion pearl into his palm.

"What are you doing?"

"Hehehe!" At this moment, they were no longer the empress and the imperial physician, but the black kitten and its owner.

(Omit...)

"You, you're so annoying! How could you be so evil!" Zhu Zhu pouted her swollen lips and accused.

"Ahem, you know me, I'm the most upright and righteous person. This is just a little secret between the two of us, known only to heaven, earth, you, and me!"

"Hate!"

"Since there's nothing important, I'll be going now! I won't bother you!"

"Wait!"

"what happened again?"

"It's nothing. I just feel that you're acting too indifferently. You didn't even ask our team's name. Is it that once we take you to the Upper Realm, you'll leave me?"

Chen Xuan: "???"

"Snapped!"

"Little girl, what are you thinking all day? Do you think someone as strong as me would care about your team's name? I could defeat you all with one hand!"

"You, you're arrogant! Although I find Dai Dabai disgusting, if the seven of us really team up, you're no match for us!"

"Oh right, right, I was wrong. So, what's your team's name? It must be a super awesome, amazing name, right?" Chen Xuan asked deliberately.

"Name, name is nothing... Oh, you did this on purpose!" Zhu Zhu was about to hit Chen Xuan when she saw this, but Chen Xuan subdued her by raising his hand.
