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

"I know, I know, but I still need to explain it to you," Chen Xuan said with a smile.

"Then speak, young hero, I'm listening." Huang Rong frowned her beautiful brows.

"Actually, it's like this..." Chen Xuan roughly explained the ins and outs of the matter, but the more he talked, the more surprised Huang Rong became.

"You mean... I'm a fictional character from a storybook, and I'm already dead?" Huang Rong looked incredulous.

"I didn't say that! Parallel worlds, do you understand? It's just that you don't exist in my timeline!" Chen Xuan quickly replied.

After all, strictly speaking, Bixiao is also a character in the Investiture of the Gods, but the fact that he can summon her now, and that Bixiao's soul is still close, already explains most of the issues.

"parallel world?"

Helpless, Chen Xuan could only offer another explanation.

Fortunately, Huang Rong was very intelligent and was known as the female Zhuge Liang. Chen Xuan only had to explain it once before she fully understood the concept of parallel universes.

"So, I was summoned by you?"

"Well, you could say that. And it's not just you; Guo Jing and the others came too, though they're not with me."

"Alright, I understand. Now that you've explained things to me, young hero, I'll take my leave." Huang Rong cupped her hands in greeting and prepared to depart.

"Well, this is my own little world. There is no one else here except me and my family. No matter where you go, you won't meet a single person."

"Alright, young hero, I've heard all your explanations. Please don't stop me anymore," Huang Rong said, frowning.

One's perspective determines how one perceives the world. Even Huang Rong, upon hearing what Chen Xuan said, found it utterly unbelievable.

Seeing this, Chen Xuan could only shake his head helplessly.

If he had more time, he would have simply left Huang Rong in the secret realm and ignored her. But now that Huang Rong was his person, he should let her cultivate as soon as possible.

"You, what are you going to do?"

As Chen Xuan approached step by step, Huang Rong took a few steps back. She hadn't brought her dog-beating stick with her, and facing such a powerful enemy, she felt somewhat helpless.

"I'm not doing anything, I'm just asking you to trust me."

Chen Xuan stepped forward, grabbed the beautiful woman's slender waist, and leaped into the air.

"what!!!!"

Huang Rong had never seen anything like this before. Afraid that Chen Xuan might lose his grip on her, she couldn't help but hug him tightly.

At an altitude of 500 meters.

"So, now you believe me, right?"

"You, how did you do that? Are you a god?"

"I am not a god." Chen Xuan paused for a moment, "But to you, I am your god." He tightened his embrace and grinned mischievously.

Then, disregarding Huang Rong's objections, he began to soar through the sky amidst her exclamations.

"Look, that's my home. That's the only place where people live. The rest of the place, apart from some monsters, isn't even a soul in sight!"

"Alright, alright, I believe you now, young hero. Put me down!" Huang Rong gently patted Chen Xuan.

Seeing that she believed him, Chen Xuan decided not to linger in the air and was about to land. However, he seemed to remember a protagonist in a martial arts novel who used the suspension bridge effect to capture Huang Rong, and he wanted to try it himself.

"Huh?! What are you going to do?"

Chen Xuan scooped Huang Rong up in his arms and swooped down from the sky. As expected, Huang Rong turned pale with fright and clung tightly to Chen Xuan before closing her eyes.

However, the fall she imagined did not happen; instead, Chen Xuan landed steadily on the ground.

"You!!!" Huang Rong gritted her teeth in anger. This guy was too wicked!

"Hurry up and come down, otherwise I can't just throw you down, can I?"

Huang Rong glared at Chen Xuan angrily, then turned her head away and ignored him.

Seeing this, Chen Xuan cursed the suspension bridge for its unreliable reaction. He could only step forward and say softly, "Alright, alright, I apologize. It was indeed my fault this time. It won't happen again."

However, what Chen Xuan didn't know was that Huang Rong's heart was far from calm at this moment.

Especially since she had a strange fondness for Chen Xuan from the first moment she saw him, and now that things were like this, she could only put on a straight face and pretend to be someone she didn't like.

Seeing that Huang Rong still ignored him, Chen Xuan didn't care. As long as she didn't refuse, it meant that she had accepted his apology.

"Would you like to come to my house?"

"No need, I don't want to cause unnecessary trouble."

"Alright, alright, then I'll take you somewhere else. I'm sure you'll like it there." Chen Xuan said, putting his arm around Huang Rong's waist again and lifting her into the air.

"Hey!!!" Huang Rong exclaimed, but she did not struggle and let Chen Xuan carry her into the sky.

She could sense that Chen Xuan meant no harm, and since there was nothing she could do now, she just let him be.

However, just as she was immersed in the novelty of flying in the air, Chen Xuan suddenly stopped and arrived at the top of a mountain.

"What, is this the place you were talking about?" Huang Rong asked, puzzled.

"No, this is just one of them. We'll go over there now." Chen Xuan smiled mysteriously, then picked up Huang Rong again and flew towards another mountain peak.

Huang Rong felt a blur before her eyes, and the next moment, she found herself atop another mountain peak.

The scenery here is completely different from before. A sea of ​​flowers sways in the breeze, and there is a clear lake next to it, with a bamboo forest on the lakeside.

"Do you like it here?" Chen Xuan asked with a smile.

"Yes, I like it." Huang Rong nodded slightly. It was the first time she had seen such a view, which made her relax involuntarily.

Then Chen Xuan waved his hand, and a bamboo house appeared in the bamboo forest, much to Huang Rong's surprise.

Chen Xuan led Huang Rong into the bamboo forest and arrived at the bamboo house.

The bamboo house is not large, but it is quiet and elegant. The furnishings inside are simple but exquisite.

"This is?"

“That’s right, you’ll be living here from now on,” Chen Xuan replied with a smile.

Huang Rong was taken aback and looked at Chen Xuan in confusion: "What do you mean? You want to imprison me?"

"No, I summoned you. You don't have any power to protect yourself right now, so just stay here for now."

"Aren't you afraid I'll sneak away when you're not looking?"

"Didn't I tell you? This cave is mine, and you can't escape it." Chen Xuan smiled faintly. "If you don't believe me, you're welcome to try."

Seeing Chen Xuan's confident demeanor, Huang Rong felt a sense of defeat.

Faced with absolute power, all clever tricks are useless. She felt as if she had been completely controlled by Chen Xuan, and no matter how she resisted, she seemed unable to escape Chen Xuan's control.

It felt like she was some kind of concubine he was keeping on the side!
