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

"Hehe, little brother Chen Xuan, why are you so nervous?"

Seeing Chen Xuan's alarmed expression, Xiao Hongmei couldn't help but laugh, then gave Chen Xuan a playful glare.

"Uh, I thought you were going to do something unexpected to me, sister!" Chen Xuan rubbed his nose.

"Unpredictable? You really dare to dream! Hehehe!!" Xiao Hongmei laughed so hard she almost fell over. The world seemed to lose its light, only she shone.

“Even if I, as your older sister, wanted to do something unbelievable to you, what could you do?” Xiao Hongmei said, her smile fading as she stared at Chen Xuan.

"Ahem, sister, please tell me what you're planning to do. For example, what are the effects of this plum blossom fragrance?" Chen Xuan was a little embarrassed by Xiao Hongmei's actions, so he coughed and changed the subject.

"This plum blossom fragrance is a martial arts technique that I carefully selected!" Xiao Hongmei smiled mysteriously.

"Oh? What's so special about the fragrance of these plum blossoms, sister?" Chen Xuan asked curiously.

"Actually, there's nothing special about it. It only has one important function: to cause those who are affected to experience a tiny bit of hallucination!" Xiao Hongmei said smugly.

"Hallucinations? I didn't have any hallucinations!"

"Really? It shouldn't be time yet!" Xiao Hongmei said, leaning closer to Chen Xuan and gently exhaling a plum blossom fragrance.

The next moment, Chen Xuan felt a little dazed.

"Tell your sister what you saw," Xiao Hongmei said with a light laugh as she sat down next to Chen Xuan.

At this moment, Chen Xuan's vision remained unchanged, as if the plum blossom fragrance emanating from Xiao Hongmei's immortal soul had no effect on him at all.

"I saw it... a magnificent and breathtaking landscape!" Chen Xuan murmured to himself.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Hongmei immediately took a few steps back, stamped her foot, and blushed slightly.

"You...you really are a little rascal. It seems all those witty remarks you made to me before were just lies!"

"This, this is not my fault! It's all because you wanted to use me as an experiment, sister. Now it's my fault!"

"Alright, alright, you pass!"

"Based on your experience, sister, how should tree-type immortal souls like us choose our first martial skill?"

"For your first martial skill... I suggest you choose a monster related to nature, or a plant-type monster, as your first martial skill."

Peach trees are plants that grow naturally and have countless connections with nature. If you can control a monster related to nature, you will surely be able to unleash the full potential of the peach tree's immortal soul.

"I am well aware of this matter, but unfortunately, I am new here and do not know much about the cultivation world, so..."

“You don’t need to worry too much about that. The closest place to my Zhang family is Peach Blossom Island. There’s a place called Green Peak Mountain on there, and there’s a kind of monster called Green Peak Deer on Green Peak Mountain. You can go and take a look,” Xiao Hongmei suggested.

"Qingfeng Mountain? Qingfeng Deer? What does this have to do with my peach blossom tree spirit?"

"You don't know this, but this Green Peak Deer isn't a deer in the traditional sense; it's..."

"The deer in Wang Wei's poems?"

"Smack!" Xiao Hongmei gently patted Chen Xuan's head.

"Don't interrupt me!"

"Oh."

"This Green Peak Deer is a spiritual plant that has taken form from Green Peak Mountain, so strictly speaking, it belongs to the category of plants. If you sign a contract with it, it will naturally be quite complementary to your peach blossom tree."

"Sister Xiao, do you have any martial arts techniques from the Azure Peak Deer?"

"Of course I have that, but I won't let you see it."

"Alright, I've got it. Thank you, Sister Xiao!" Chen Xuan bowed again.

"Well, now that you understand, hurry back and prepare. I hope you can acquire a decent martial art skill," Xiao Hongmei said calmly.

"I will certainly not let you down, sister!" Chen Xuan said earnestly, then took his leave, with Xiao Hongmei watching him go.

Only after Chen Xuan had walked far away did she clutch her pounding heart and collapse to the ground.

P.S.: I'm still in the "blacklist" (a term used to describe a period of revision or downtime), but I'll continue to revise it. I've also released a new book, so please feel free to give me suggestions. Thank you so much!
