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

This young man... is unbelievably handsome. The moment I saw him, I couldn't help but feel a slight attraction to him!

Her gaze towards Chen Xuan deepened, captivating all who looked at her.

In Chen Xuan's eyes, her demeanor was elegant and graceful, and every gesture exuded a noble air, which made young Chen Xuan fall in love with her.

"May I ask what brings you here, Patriarch...?" Yu Gang asked.

"Oh, it's nothing. I just sensed some movement here, so I came to check it out!" Zhang Wei said after looking at Chen Xuan.

"Actually, it's nothing. The teacher just asked me to summon my own natal immortal soul, which caused a bit of a commotion!" Chen Xuan explained, looking at Zhang Wei's gaze.

"So that's how it is! I wonder what your natal immortal soul is, Chen Xuan? Is it that peach tree behind you?"

"That's right, my natal immortal soul is this peach tree behind me. They are testing my natal immortal soul!"

"Oh? Could it be that your natal immortal soul has something special about it?"

"Actually, it's nothing much, it just has a tiny bit of a calming effect."

Upon hearing this, a hint of disdain flashed in Zhang Wei's eyes. This Chen Xuan's immortal soul was not even as good as his son Zhang Run's or his dog's immortal soul!

Yes, they also possess immortal souls. Master Yu had tampered with the cultivation techniques, so passing them on naturally posed no major problem. The reason it wasn't announced to the entire world was because it was essentially a semi-finished product, and doing so might damage his reputation.

Even so, many powerful people still come to humbly seek advice and learn from their experience.

The Zhang family was among them.

Zhang Wei, Zhang Run, and a group of others all awakened their own unique immortal souls.

What's puzzling is that most of the immortal souls of the core members of the Zhang family are Golden Flame Lions, with a few being mutated lions or cats. Only he and his son Zhang Run have canine immortal souls, and those ugly, silly dogs at that.

Because of this, the Zhang family's higher-ups had many doubts about his authenticity, but after a series of tests, it was confirmed that he really was a member of their Zhang family, and now no one had anything to say.

However, there was one point that the Zhang family's higher-ups disagreed with: having their son, Zhang Run, inherit the Zhang family! They declared that the Zhang family should be inherited by the one with the pure bloodline of the Golden Flame Lion Immortal Soul!

As for Zhang Run, this bloodline mutant, let him establish another lineage; the Zhang family will acknowledge his lineage anyway.

This infuriated Zhang Wei and his wife. Their son, Zhang Run, was of the purest Zhang family bloodline. Just because his immortal soul was different, they insisted that he was not suitable to inherit the family business? Were they kidding?

Furthermore, even if Zhang Wei agrees, the Xiao family behind Xiao Hongmei will not agree!

Therefore, at Xiao Hongmei's urging, Zhang Wei spent a large sum of money to hire Master Yu as an elder, hoping that Master Yu would accept his son Zhang Run as a disciple. He figured that once his son grew up, those old fogies would definitely be begging him to become the head of the family!

This is how this series of events began.

Unfortunately, Yu Gang didn't think much of his son and only promised to mentor him for a period of time.

"So you're Chen Xuan from Zhangjiashan Haijie! Hmm, your peach blossoms are really beautiful, and I also have a plant-type immortal soul. It seems I can have more exchanges with you in the future!" Xiao Hongmei walked straight to the peach tree and said to Chen Xuan with admiration.

"This lady is...?"

"Oh my, you're quite the smooth talker, young man! I'm so old, I could be your mother, but you call me your older sister!"

Xiao Hongmei wasn't unfamiliar with compliments, but Chen Xuan was different! From the first moment she saw Chen Xuan, she felt a slight liking for this incredibly handsome man, and now, hearing him say such things about her, she couldn't help but smile until her eyes narrowed.

"How could that be?!" Chen Xuan feigned surprise: "Impossible, absolutely impossible! Looking at your appearance, you don't look like an old person at all, you're clearly a young girl! You must be lying to me!" Chen Xuan said sincerely.

"Giggle... You have such a sweet tongue, I love you!" Xiao Hongmei was overjoyed by Chen Xuan's flattery: "But, do you still not know who I am?"

"I dare not speculate about my sister's identity, but she should be a member of the Zhang family!" Chen Xuan said solemnly.

"Hehehe, you guessed right. I am Zhang Wei's wife, Zhang Run's mother, the matriarch of the Zhang family, Xiao Hongmei!"

"Ah?!" Chen Xuan feigned surprise: "So, it's Madam Zhang. I was blind and neglected you. Please forgive me!" After saying that, Chen Xuan cupped his hands in a gesture of respect to Xiao Hongmei.

"Hehe, ignorance is no excuse. Who made me so deceptively beautiful!" Xiao Hongmei waved her hand casually.

Seeing this, Zhu Zhu knew that Chen Xuan was about to have a relapse.

That Xiao Hongmei is really something. She's so old, yet she still pretends to be young. I find her annoying!

Zhai Ningning frowned. The most beautiful person here should be her, and her Zhai family is far more powerful than this Zhang family. You, Chen Xuan, a piece of trash from the lower realm, instead of coming to fawn over me, go and coax an old woman?!

Qingwu didn't care, her heart wasn't with Chen Xuan anyway. But she found one thing strange: Xiao Hongmei was clearly dressed as a mature and beautiful woman, so why did Chen Xuan still see her as his older sister?

"No, no, no, I beg Patriarch Zhang to punish me!"

"Oh, young friend, you're too kind. You're originally from my Mountain and Sea Realm, and in a way, you're part of my Zhang family. It's just that you haven't met my wife before, which is perfectly normal!"

Zhang Wei was also very magnanimous. He understood Xiao Hongmei's intentions all too well; she was paving the way for her son!

If Yu Gang doesn't agree, then they can just build good relationships with the members of this monster group. As long as they all agree, it shouldn't be too difficult for their son to join.

Besides, Xiao Hongmei is such a proud woman, what kind of nice words hasn't she heard? In her opinion, Chen Xuan's words were utterly clumsy!

Most importantly, he himself had lost count of how long it had been since he had last touched his wife, so how could she possibly be interested in a man from the lower realm!

"Young friend, you've just summoned your Immortal Soul, so you probably haven't assigned any skills yet, right? My wife met you today and we hit it off immediately. She thinks you're quite remarkable. If you have any questions about your Immortal Soul in the future, you can consult her!"

“That’s right, my immortal soul is a plum blossom tree, and I already have six powerful or auxiliary immortal soul martial skills!” Xiao Hongmei said with a smile.

"Six? I didn't expect Madam Zhang to be so powerful!" Six Immortal Soul Martial Skills meant that Xiao Hongmei's cultivation had reached the Refinement of Void Realm!

"You were so sweet just now, why are you changing your tune now? From now on, just call me 'sister'!" Xiao Hongmei said discontentedly.

"This...isn't that inappropriate?"

"What's wrong with that? Calling me 'Madam' all the time makes me feel old!"

Chen Xuan glanced at Zhang Wei, who smiled and nodded.

"Then I shall respectfully accept your offer!"

"Yes, if you have any questions about your Immortal Soul Martial Arts in the future, feel free to ask me. I have experience in this area!" Xiao Hongmei patted her surging waves.

"Okay, if I need anything in the future, I'll come to you anytime, Sister Xiao!" Chen Xuan quickly agreed.

"Hmm~" Xiao Hongmei blushed slightly upon hearing this; her thoughts had wandered a little.

“Alright, we’re here to talk to Master Yu, so we won’t bother you any longer!” Xiao Hongmei said, then turned and left. Seeing this, Zhang Wei also left with Yu Gang and Zhang Run.

Before leaving, Yu Gang gave Chen Xuan the part about adding immortal soul martial arts. He thought Chen Xuan's immortal soul was too trashy and didn't care about it, so he let him absorb demonic beasts however he wanted.

Little did they know, Chen Xuan had already had the system deduce everything, and the version was already very complete and mature, many times better than what he had given them!

However, as Zhang Run left, he gave Chen Xuan a meaningful look.

The meaning is clear: "If you dare to act recklessly, you're courting death!"
