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

Yes, Lin Shuiyao's coma was caused by Chen Xuan.

He had painstakingly cultivated for twenty years, only to have all his efforts vanish in vain! He already hated Qin Feng intensely, and yet the latter dared to bring him back to his Qin family!

Chen Xuan had been thinking about how to make Qin Feng suffer. After meeting Lin Shuiyao for the first time, countless ideas surged in his mind. However, these ideas all led to the same goal: to win over Lin Shuiyao.

As for Lin Shuiyao, she possesses the Water Soft Body and has considerable talent for cultivation, but for some reason, she is still a mortal.

Perhaps the author was too lazy to describe it further, or perhaps there was some hidden identity involved, but Chen Xuan knew for certain that this woman had two souls in one body, and the other soul had a very important background. There were no other clues.

He was transported into a novel about an eunuch, so he didn't know what happened next, but he did know that this woman was very important.

An hour later.

"嘤咛."

Lin Shuiyao let out a soft hum and slowly woke up. The first thing she saw was Chen Xuan, who was working diligently.

The two were very close. Chen Xuan's handsome face and star-like eyes sparkled with intelligence. His features were distinct and well-defined, giving him an air of composure and determination.

"Mr. Chen..." Lin Shuiyao's pretty face flushed slightly. She hadn't had such close contact with a man in so many years.

"Madam, you're awake! All my efforts haven't been in vain!" Chen Xuan said, wiping the sweat from his forehead.

"Effort?" Lin Shuiyao tilted her head and looked at Chen Xuan's hand.

"Aaaaaaah!!! Ouch!"

Suddenly, the highest note in the world came from the entire room, but Chen Xuan immediately blocked it out.

"Shh! Madam, don't panic, please let me explain!" Chen Xuan covered Lin Shuiyao's mouth and hurriedly explained.

Lin Shuiyao's face was flushed red. She didn't hear Chen Xuan's words at all and even tried to get up and struggle. Since both of them were mortals at this moment, Chen Xuan was also having some difficulty dealing with them.

"Madam, please let me explain!" Chen Xuan said again, but Lin Shuiyao remained unmoved.

Chen Xuan got angry too. He hardened his heart, picked up Lin Shuiyao, turned her over, and slapped her.

It was quiet now.

Lin Shuiyao was stunned. She looked at Chen Xuan in disbelief, then closed her eyes tightly, tears welling in her eyes, looking as if she were bravely going to her death.

Chen Xuan: "???"

Seeing Lin Shuiyao's seemingly resigned attitude, Chen Xuan patiently explained things to her.

"I'm so sorry, I misunderstood you, Mr. Chen." After hearing the reason, Lin Shuiyao immediately apologized to Chen Xuan.

"It's good that Madam is alright. Then I won't bother you any longer. I'll take my leave now!" Chen Xuan clasped his hands in a fist salute and left, leaving Lin Shuiyao alone in the room.

"Mr. Chen, how is Madam?" Azi asked hurriedly.

"I have successfully completed my mission; the lady has awakened."

"That's good, that's good!"

Ah Zi also breathed a sigh of relief, clutching her small chest. She no longer had to worry about being killed by Qin Feng.

Chen Xuan was staring at A Zi when he suddenly noticed that the little girl in front of him was also very beautiful. Her eyebrows were long and slender like a crescent moon, her eyes were bright like stars, and her lips were small and rosy, revealing a kind of delicate beauty.

Unfortunately, he was too weak to withstand even the slightest wind or rain.

Overall, although Azi was extremely thin at this time, one could vaguely see the potential for her to grow into a stunning beauty in the future.

"how old are you?"

"Ah? This servant is eighteen years old this year!" Azi hurriedly said.

"Eighteen? You look like this..." A hint of heartache flashed in Chen Xuan's eyes. This little girl must have suffered a lot since she was a child. She looks like she is only fourteen or fifteen years old!

"What's wrong, Mr. Chen?"

"It's nothing. From now on, come to my place once a day at noon."

"Yes." Azi didn't ask any more questions and agreed directly.

"By the way, tell Madam later that she needs me to treat her for another month to fully recover!" Chen Xuan said before leaving.

Meanwhile, Lin Shuiyao sat on the bed in a daze after watching Chen Xuan leave. After all, this kind of thing was still too much of a shock for her.

Once she woke up, it was safe to say that she had no secrets from Chen Xuan whatsoever.

"Why did I faint for no reason? Could it be someone from the main branch of the Qin family?" Lin Shuiyao muttered to herself.

"That despicable Chen Xuan, how dare he...!" As she spoke, Lin Shuiyao touched the spot on her body where Chen Xuan had strangled her, her face flushed red.

It can only be said that Chen Xuan probably enjoys sports, especially playing ball.

Even though she was thrashing around wildly, Chen Xuan, you don't need to hold any leverage over her, do you? And you even dared to hit yourself!

"Sigh, in the end, it was all to save me. He himself is just a mortal, but my son is at the late Foundation Establishment stage. He definitely wouldn't dare to have any designs on me!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Azi walked in.

"What's wrong, Xiao Zi?"

"It's like this, Madam Chen, Mr. Chen said that your cold poison needs..."

"What? A month of continuous treatment?! That means..." Lin Shuiyao was about to faint.

“Mr. Chen also said that if you don’t receive treatment, it will relapse in the future. For your safety, Madam, you should still receive treatment!” Azi advised.

She actually knew how Chen Xuan treated her, but she didn't dare to say it, so she just pretended not to know.

"Okay, I understand. You can go now!"

"Yes."

Watching Azi leave, Lin Shuiyao could no longer hold back and simply buried herself under the covers.

"Aaaaaaah! How could this happen?!"

At this moment, Lin Shuiyao lacked any semblance of a mature woman's demeanor, feeling only utterly embarrassed. After all, Chen Xuan was merely her son's senior apprentice; she hadn't expected to be forced to be completely honest with him!

No, it's that only she herself was honest. The thought of this made her want to dig a hole and crawl into it.

However, she never thought of giving up treatment. She couldn't die yet, nor was she willing to die. She was carrying a deep-seated hatred and was waiting to take revenge!

……

Meanwhile, after Chen Xuan finished treating Lin Shuiyao, he left the Qin family and went to a shop called Wanxiang Baoxuan.

Although he could cure Lin Shuiyao's cold poison without external help, he still had to put on an act. At the very least, he needed to buy some fire-attribute spiritual treasures to make a show of it.

The most famous specialty of Flamefeather City is the flame feathers from the Flamefeather Bird. These feathers might be a bit more expensive elsewhere, but they are extremely cheap here.

Although Flame Feather is only a low-grade fire-attribute material and its uses are not particularly wide, it should be more than enough to warm Lin Shuiyao's body.

However, just as Chen Xuan finished buying with his meager amount of spirit stones and was about to leave, he suddenly heard someone calling him.

"Are you Senior Brother Chen?" The voice was soft and pleasant.

Chen Xuan turned around and saw a very beautiful young woman standing in front of him.

Her appearance was exquisite and refined, with eyebrows like distant mountains, eyes like stars, a delicate nose, and cherry-red lips that were naturally red. She smiled gently. Her long hair cascaded down like a waterfall, dancing in the wind, and her white dress trailed on the ground, making her look like a fairy descending to earth.

"My name is Chen Xuan. May I ask who you are, young lady?"

"I am Liu Yanxin. Didn't Qin Feng tell you?"

"So you're Junior Brother Qin's friend. But I really don't know you, and Junior Brother Qin didn't tell me either," Chen Xuan said.

He actually knew who it was as soon as he heard Liu Yanxin's name. She is one of the female protagonists of the novel, Qin Feng's childhood sweetheart, and a very kind and gentle woman.

"Let's get acquainted then. I'm Qin Feng's fiancée. I hope Senior Brother Chen will take good care of me in the future."

"Not at all, not at all. I'm just a useless person now, and I might even need your help, Miss Liu!"

"If Senior Brother Chen has any instructions, I will definitely help you!" Liu Yanxin said with a smile.

"Then thank you, Miss Liu. But I have some other matters to attend to, so I won't stay any longer. Farewell." With that, Chen Xuan prepared to leave.

Unsolicited kindness is always suspicious! This woman isn't bad, but she definitely wants something from him! He could probably guess what Liu Yanxin wanted, so he'd just wait for her to say it herself.

"Hey, senior brother, please wait!"

"Is there anything else, Miss Liu?"

"Sister-in-law, you do have a request!"

"please say."

Liu Yanxin looked around, then pulled Chen Xuan to a secluded spot before revealing the predicament she was facing.

Just as Chen Xuan had guessed, it was a problem with his cultivation.

The Liu family and the Qin family are on the same level in Yanyu City, but Liu Yanxin is not the eldest daughter of the Liu family; she was born to a collateral branch.

Her father and Qin Feng's father were very close brothers, so the two families arranged a marriage between them when they were young.

However, due to her family background and limited talent, Liu Yanxin's cultivation level remained at the sixth level of Qi Refining, without any further progress. Therefore, Qin Feng went out alone to seek a master to learn martial arts, while Liu Yanxin stayed in Flame Feather City.
