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

"You are also my lucky star."

"Huh? Fa, what happened?" Xiao Hongmei asked, somewhat embarrassed.

"I'll choose this little deer, just this one is fine." Chen Xuan didn't explain, and simply pointed to the little deer in the corner.

The fawn fainted on the spot and was then carried away by Xiao Hongmei remotely.

Inside Xiao Hongmei's secret room.

"Now you can absorb it properly, my husband. I will protect you."

Xiao Lu had already woken up. She was no longer as calm as before, and she even knelt down in front of Chen Xuan, begging for mercy.

"Kneeling won't help. Once you're dead, I'll devour you completely!" Chen Xuan threatened it with a laugh.

"Alright, my husband, let's finish this quickly and absorb it!" Xiao Hongmei urged.

"No, no, no, I made a special innovation to Yu Gang's technique. In fact, when I absorb these demonic beasts, I don't kill them, but rather I become bound to them."

"Stop lying! You've only been in this Upper Realm for a short time, and you've been bullying others every day... even if you're a peerless genius, it's impossible for you to improve this cultivation technique so quickly!"

Xiao Hongmei didn't believe it at all.

“Let’s make a bet. If I really succeed in improving this technique, you will… hehehe!” Chen Xuan stared intently at Xiao Hongmei, a wicked smile on his face.

Seeing Chen Xuan's expression, Xiao Hongmei immediately understood what he wanted to do. Her cheeks flushed slightly, and she said angrily, "Don't even think about it!"

"Then what will it take for you to believe me?" Chen Xuan asked with a smile.

“Anyway, I just don’t believe it!” Xiao Hongmei said.

"Now I'll perform it for you. If it works, what will you say?"

"It's a success... I don't know, anyway, you got everything, and so did I..."

"Then let's do it at the Zhang family's place... Okay, it's a deal then!" Chen Xuan said cheekily.

"You... how could you be so mean!" Xiao Hongmei raised her fist to hit Chen Xuan, but he grabbed it.

"Your refusal is useless, Mrs. Zhang!"

As Chen Xuan spoke, he reached out and placed the fawn on the table in the secret room, then gently patted its head and smiled:

"Silly roe deer, don't be afraid, watch how I personally... hehehe!"

The little deer looked at Chen Xuan with even more fear in its eyes, but its fear was of no use.

Without further ado, Chen Xuan summoned his peach tree and activated his cultivation technique.

In an instant, the green fawn transformed into a ball of red light and entered Chen Xuan's body. The next moment, a sense of intimacy arose between the two.

Xiao Hongmei was startled when she saw the deer disappear, and then she began to worry about Chen Xuan. Fortunately, Chen Xuan stopped absorbing nutrients after meditating for a short time and gave birth to his first "immortal spirit".

"So fast? Husband, what martial arts technique do you use?" Seeing that Chen Xuan had succeeded, she was too lazy to ask him about his technique anymore.

"Martial arts techniques..."

With a casual flick of his wrist, Chen Xuan produced a purple peach blossom in his hand.

"You'll know once you try it," he said mysteriously.

Xiao Hongmei didn't suspect anything, took the purple peach blossom, and ate it directly.

"I don't feel anything special!" She looked at Chen Xuan with a puzzled expression.

"That's for sure, because it doesn't have any increase that you can feel."

Xiao Hongmei: "???"

"This Azure Peak Deer was transformed from Stardust Grass that had absorbed Weak Water. Stardust Grass represents fortune, so the martial arts technique it acquired is Qi Luck Peach Blossom."

"Luck and Peach Blossom Luck?"

“Yes, the Qi Luck Peach Blossom. This martial art doesn’t enhance one’s own strength, but rather grants the holder extraordinary fortune for a short period of time,” Chen Xuan explained. He then stretched out his hand, and a black peach blossom bloomed in his palm before disappearing.

"The luck and peach blossoms are also divided into levels: red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, purple, and black. Purple is the highest, while black is misfortune. Eating purple peach blossoms will greatly improve one's luck in a short period of time. After a while, a wisp of permanent luck will be left behind to bless the user, once a month."

"So amazing?" Xiao Hongmei looked at Chen Xuan in surprise.

“That’s natural,” Chen Xuan said with a smile.

However, what he didn't mention was that as long as someone takes the Qi Luck Peach Blossom, he can manually extract a portion of the user's luck for himself, which originates from the power of the Weak Water.

"This, this is too exaggerated! This is only your first martial arts skill, my husband..."

"More than that."

With another wave of his hand, Chen Xuan brought back the little deer he had just absorbed, which reappeared in front of the two of them, but the patterns on its body had turned into peach blossoms.

"This, this is..."

"Fairy Spirit".

"By cultivating this technique, you can avoid killing demonic beasts and even transform them into your celestial spirits, fighting for you!"

"..."

Xiao Hongmei was so shocked that she didn't know what to say.

"Alright, a bet's a bet, okay? When I get back to the Zhang family, you'd better take good care of me...hehehe!!"

"You're so annoying! As if I could refuse you!" Xiao Hongmei's face flushed.

"This is my improved version of the technique. I'm giving it to you now, but you can't give it to anyone else right now. I'll let you give it to them when the time is right."

Chen Xuan patted the little deer's head and said to Xiao Hongmei with a smile.

Looking at the manual in her hand, Xiao Hongmei was filled with delight and said with a smile:

"Then I thank you, my husband!"

Chen Xuan laughed heartily, "We're husband and wife, no need for thanks! But..."

"But what?"

"But right now, my wife, your luck is at its peak, which will help me find a good treasure!"

"What treasure?" Xiao Hongmei asked curiously.

Chen Xuan smiled and leaned close to her ear, whispering something. As he spoke, Xiao Hongmei's face grew increasingly flushed.

"Yes, I am willing to obey your command!" she said softly, bowing her head.

"Then what are we waiting for? Let's go together and search for treasure!"

"~"

The next morning, Chen Xuan and Xiao Hongmei bid farewell to Qianluo Holy Land and planned to return to the Zhang family together.

Chen Xuan did not intend to reveal Qian Muli's whereabouts. He had no idea what Qianluo Holy Land was like now, and if Qian Muli were to return rashly, she might be targeted by people within Qianluo Holy Land. It was better to wait and see.

"Are you sure you don't want to go into the secret realm and talk to them?"

"Well, let's forget it. I really don't have enough time. Next time, next time for sure!" She touched her belly shyly, where something was growing.

"Alright then, you can go back to the Zhang family first. Now that there are so many mortals in my secret realm, I need to go in and make some arrangements. I can return to the Zhang family after the Monster Team Academy Competition!"

"Alright, then take care, my husband~"

Xiao Hongmei gently kissed Chen Xuan, then turned into light and disappeared.
