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

"No, it's nothing, just a little thing, Brother Sirui, you don't need to worry about me!" Rouwu quickly said.

"How could I not worry!" Tang Sirui walked closer and reached out to take Rouwu's hand, but the latter was startled and quickly took a few steps back.

Tang Sirui: "You still don't want to have any contact with me?"

"No, no, I... I need to prepare properly. Brother Sirui, don't worry about me, I can handle it on my own!"

After Rouwu finished speaking, she covered her navel and left.

"What exactly happened?" Tang Sirui asked casually, then shook his head and said no more.

Rouwu, after a few breaths, clutched the burning bead at her waist and arrived at a cultivation room.

"What do you want?" she roared at the beads.

"Nothing much, just checking your performance. Not bad, you did very well this time, I'm very satisfied!" Chen Xuan's voice came from inside the bead.

"I'll do whatever you ask, just don't contact me again!"

"Yes, as long as you can do it! Of course, if you let me discover something, you don't want to..."

Before Chen Xuan could finish speaking, Rouwu hung up on him.

That damn bastard! He's gone too far!

Dai Dabai's side.

"Zhu Zhu, once you enter Tianyuan Valley, you must protect Chen Xuan well!" he earnestly instructed.

"I still need to collect demonic beasts, where would I find the time to deal with him? Isn't he quite powerful in the lower realm? Don't actually treat him as just an assistant!"

"It's different! Chen Xuan... he's crucial to us! Even if we can't advance in this competition, we absolutely must protect him and prevent any accidents!"

"What on earth are you going to do?"

"You don't need to worry about that. Just know that all of this is for us!"

"Alright, since you put it that way, I'll give you face. You go ahead and collect the monsters, and I'll protect him. Is that alright?"

Zhu Zhu was overjoyed.

"Yes, that would be best!"

……

Two days passed by in a flash.

As the sun rose, the area outside Tianyuan Valley became lively.

The Aoyama couple stood at the entrance, welcoming the participants from the Hundred Academy who had come to this place.

Soon, all the participating students had arrived, and only then did the Green Mountain Ancestor speak:

"This demon-hunting bag is specially made by my Green Mountain Sect. You only need to hang it on your waist to put any non-combatant demon beasts into it at any time, and then it will be sealed on its own."

Remember, the monsters must be defenseless. Never let them escape your control, or the consequences will be unimaginable!

Also, there are many dangerous demonic beasts in Tianyuan Valley, so please be careful. If you encounter danger, you can crush the jade talisman next to the demon-hunting bag, and you will be teleported out!

After saying that, the Green Mountain Ancestor waved his hand, and one after another, the demon-hunting bags flew towards the participants.

Everyone took the demon-hunting bags and hung them on their waists.

"If you're ready, let's get started!" said the Green Mountain Ancestor, before flying out of the valley.

At the entrance of Tianyuan Valley, Chen Xuan, Rouwu, Tang Sirui, and others were already waiting.

"Everyone, are you ready?" Yu Gang asked.

"Ready!" the crowd shouted in response.

"Alright, you can set off now. Chen Xuan, remember, you must not use your skills recklessly unless you absorb another demon beast to gain other skills, understand?"

"understand!"

"Alright, then you can set off now!" With a command from Yu Gang, everyone stepped into Tianyuan Valley.

But when no one knew, except for the mysterious woman in the sky, Fairy Qinglan slowly disappeared.

"Everyone be careful, the hunt is about to begin! Once inside, do not scatter!" Dai Dabai warned, taking out his weapon first and stepping inside.

The others also took out their weapons, ready to fight, and Chen Xuan entered Tianyuan Valley with them.

After a bout of dizziness subsided, Chen Xuan found himself alone in a jungle.

"Well, so it's a random teleportation. That's good, then. I don't have to stay with that group of people. That suits me just fine!"

"But I'm getting too bored by myself, I'd better find someone to keep me company!"

The next moment, Rouwu, who was hunting demonic beasts, felt a sensation at her waist. Her body tensed instantly, and she crippled the wolf demon in front of her with a single sword strike. Then she responded:

"What exactly do you want? Can you please stop interfering with my monster-catching!"

"If I remember correctly, Master Yu's team plan included you and Zhu Zhu protecting me, right? Now I don't know where Zhu Zhu is, and since we're in the middle of nowhere, I can only contact you!"

"No, I absolutely cannot be alone with you!"

Rouwu wasn't stupid; she could sense that Chen Xuan's intentions were not good this time!

"That's not up to you. I have Master Yu's orders to follow. Are you sure you're not coming?"

"I'm not going! I'll join you after you find Zhu Zhu... Also, don't think I don't know you're very strong; you can't hide it from me!"

"Oh?" Chen Xuan raised an eyebrow:

"So you know your weaknesses and my skills, right? What would happen if I used them on you?"

Rouwu trembled. Of course she knew that if Chen Xuan really used those skills, she would be no match for him.

"Chen Xuan, you, you mustn't do anything reckless!"

"I'm not doing anything reckless, I just want someone to keep me company. Do you want to keep me company, or do you want me to come to you? Of course, if I find you, the treatment will be completely different!"

Upon hearing this, Rouwu tensed up instantly, a hint of hesitation appearing on her face. Ultimately, she agreed to Chen Xuan's request and headed towards his location.

Rouwu was so angry she gritted her teeth, but she knew she had no other choice.

"Wait here, tell me your location, I'll be right there!"

"Okay, I'll wait for you here." Chen Xuan saw that Rouwu had agreed and a smug smile appeared on his lips. He waited quietly for Rouwu to arrive.

Soon after, Rouwu arrived at Chen Xuan's location. Upon seeing him, she felt an urge to draw her sword and confront him.

"Hey, what exactly do you want?"

Chen Xuan smiled slightly, "Didn't I just say that? I don't need anything, I just want someone to keep me company."

Rouwu retorted angrily, "Didn't I say I can't be with you? If you want to find someone else, then go find someone else!"

But all I want to see is you!

"you……!"

"Don't be angry. I know you don't like being with me, but it's a competition now, and I can't go find someone else, can I?"

Why can't you find someone else?

Chen Xuan chuckled and tried to wrap his arms around the girl's waist, but she dodged him.
