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

After explaining everything to Zhu Zhu, Chen Xuan slipped away and hurried off to find his stand-in.

At this moment, Dai Dabai was injured by himself and might come to him for treatment, so retrieving the stand-in was the most important thing.

Sure enough, not long after Chen Xuan returned to She Jingxi's side, Dai Dabai's orders arrived at the scene, requiring She Jingxi to go to the palace as soon as possible to hunt down the villains.

Not only did he gain nothing from this operation, but he was also seriously injured! If he didn't lure She Jingxi away…

It can only be said that he made a fool of himself by trying to be clever, and ended up shooting himself in the foot.

As for Chen Xuan, he was summoned to the Imperial Study to treat Dai Dabai.

Chen Xuan met Dai Dabai in the Imperial Study.

At this moment, Dai Dabai was lying on the bed, his face pale and his breath weak.

Seeing this, Chen Xuan chuckled inwardly, but on the surface he feigned concern: "Your Majesty, what happened to you? How did you get so badly injured?"

Upon hearing this, Dai Dabai snorted coldly and said, "Hmph, I still miscalculated and was injured by a villain! That villain not only stole the treasure that should have belonged to me, but also seriously injured me! I will definitely tear him to pieces!"

Chen Xuan feigned surprise: "What? Someone actually dared to attack His Majesty! That's incredibly audacious! It's all my fault. If I had known His Majesty would be injured because of this, I wouldn't have lured the Empress Dowager out. Sigh, it's all my fault!"

Chen Xuan was overjoyed.

Upon hearing this, Dai Dabai's expression softened slightly.

"This matter has nothing to do with you; it was due to my personal negligence that I overlooked this point!"

"Your Majesty, rest assured, I will definitely help you catch that villain and avenge you!"

Upon hearing this, Dai Dabai nodded and said, "Good, I'm already very pleased that you have this intention. With your level at the sect conference, you couldn't even beat me with one hand, let alone this!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Xuan smiled slightly and said, "Your Majesty, you are currently weak and need to rest. I will go and refine some pills for you first, and after you recover, we will settle accounts with that villain!"

Upon hearing this, Dai Dabai said, "Alright, then I'll trouble you."

Chen Xuan nodded, turned and left the Imperial Study.

After leaving the Imperial Study, the smile on Chen Xuan's face disappeared, replaced by a cold expression.

He returned to his room and immediately began refining elixirs.

Chen Xuan took out some healing herbs, placed them in the alchemy furnace, and began refining immortal pills.

These medicinal herbs are all of acceptable quality, and the pills made from them have a relatively good healing effect.

Of course, he wouldn't just cure Dai Dabai like that; adding a tiny bit of something is the normal procedure.

After he finished refining it, he went to the Imperial Study to hand it over to Dai Dabai. However, as soon as he entered, he saw Zhu Zhu arguing with Dai Dabai inside.

"You, Dai Dabai, truly live up to your reputation as the leader of our team. Not only did you not act together, but you also abandoned your teammate! Once we return to the Upper Realm, I will expose your actions to everyone!"

Zhu Zhu had something to hide, so she wasn't angry at all and therefore couldn't show any anger.

Fortunately, Dai Dabai did abandon his teammates and didn't dare to look at Zhu Zhu's expression at this moment.

"Cough cough, I just... I just saw that the enemy was invincible, so I rushed back to get reinforcements. It's so good to see that you're alright!"

"What, you want something from me?"

"No, no, that's not what I meant! How could I possibly want anything to happen to you? I meant... he didn't do anything to you, did he?"

"You...disgusting!"

After saying that, Zhu Zhu left with a flushed face.

Chen Xuan didn't do anything to her, but she turned into a little cat, clinging to him and refusing to get down. She felt incredibly embarrassed whenever she thought about it and had to leave.

"Um, Your Majesty, what is this...?"

"It's nothing, we do this all the time, it's just a little squabble!" Dai Dabai waved his hand.

He then gave the pill to Dai Dabai to take. After taking the pill, Dai Dabai's complexion gradually returned to normal, and his body was no longer so weak.

"Imperial Physician Chen, I am so grateful to you this time. If it weren't for you, I'm afraid my injuries would not have healed quickly until I reached the Upper Realm."

Chen Xuan smiled slightly and said, "Your Majesty is too kind. I was just doing my best to help Your Majesty."

"Hmm, you did well this time. Once we reach the Upper Realm, I'll reward you with a woman from there!"

"In that case, thank you very much, Your Majesty."

"No need to call me Your Majesty. I'll be going to the Upper Realm soon. Just call me Boss!"

"Okay, Lao Da!"

Not long after, She Jingxi returned to the inner palace.

She naturally couldn't find a single clue about the "mysterious" enemy, and this time, all the immortal herbs had been looted by Chen Xuan, leaving not a single one behind.

Given the magnitude of the incident, as the supervisor, she is naturally held accountable.

However, for her, who had long planned to go to the Upper Realm with Chen Xuan, these things were no longer important. If she had more time, she would have taken all the valuable things in this Mountain and Sea Realm!

After learning that the mysterious person had disappeared, Dai Dabai remained silent for a long time.

He certainly wanted revenge, but this was Zhang's territory, and the people here were all natives raised by Zhang. Although Zhang's power was not as great as his White Tiger Empire, he certainly wouldn't agree to let the people of the White Tiger Empire come down and sweep through.

This matter had to be left unresolved.

Most importantly, the task that was supposed to be completed in place of his teacher has now been ruined by him. When he arrives in the Upper Realm, he will be unable to deliver on his mission and will even have to compensate for it out of his own pocket, which is hundreds of immortal herbs!

After raging in the palace for a while, he finally lost his temper and decided to rest for a few days until his injuries had almost healed before heading to the Upper Realm.

A few days passed in the blink of an eye.

In the past few days, since taking She Jingxi in, Chen Xuan hasn't entered his secret realm even once. After all, Dai Dabai and the others are on high alert right now, and it wouldn't be good if they called him and he wasn't there, arousing unnecessary suspicion.
