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

"No, I didn't say anything..." Seeing Long Yuyan's powerful aura, Chen Xuan immediately changed his persona to that of a weak little boy.

Well, generally speaking, someone like Long Yuyan would like this type.

"I heard everything! What do you mean 'just because of this'? Don't you know that I was doing this to protect you?" Long Yuyan scolded Chen Xuan even more harshly, poking his forehead with her finger.

"Uh, Master's wife, you've misunderstood! I really didn't mean that!"

"That's not what I meant! Then why were you spacing out during the meeting? I even... I even stepped on your foot, but you still didn't react. Tell me what's going on!" As she said this, Long Yuyan's cheeks flushed slightly.

"Huh? Teacher Yu Yan reminded Chen Xuan, so why, why did she have to do it this way?" Zhu Zhu asked, puzzled.

"No, I don't know! Chen Xuan shouldn't be that extraordinary, even Teacher Yu Yan... wouldn't!" Rouwu said uncertainly.

"Let's take a look. Teacher Yu Yan seems a bit strange today, and Chen Xuan... he seems more like the one being teased!"

"No, that can't be!"

Generally speaking, the two women hiding in the closet could be detected by Long Yuyan with a scan of her divine sense. However, this was Chen Xuan's house after all. If the owner discovered that she was using her divine sense to investigate, he would definitely be unhappy. Therefore, it was unlikely that she would be investigated by her divine sense in her own home.

......

"Well, let me tell you the truth, Master's wife. The more you forbid me from participating in team competitions, the less involved I feel. And without that sense of involvement, I'll still be ostracized!"

"But Xuan'er, the arena is not child's play; it's a duel that can lead to death! Your life is more important to me. Even if you are still ostracized, I cannot let you take such a risk, do you understand?"

Long Yuyan remained unmoved and persisted in her own opinion.

Seeing this, Chen Xuan also felt a bit of a headache.

He was too lazy to participate in the competition, mainly because his previous excuses no longer worked.

"Furthermore, Xuan'er, this time you actually dared to completely ignore me! This is the thing I, your master's wife, cannot tolerate the most!"

"Uh, I didn't ignore you. I was mainly focusing on my experiences in the secret realm."

"hehe."

"Some things might fool a young girl, but do you think you can fool your master's wife with something like this?"

Chen Xuan: "......"

Damn it, this woman doesn't believe in herself anymore!

Wait... a little girl?! Got it!

Zhu Zhu: "Qingwu, I always feel like Teacher Yuyan's words are implying something. Is she alluding to you?"

Rouwu: "..."

"She doesn't know anything about me, how could she possibly be implying anything about me, and besides..."

And she's not some little girl, but Chen Xuan has her completely under his thumb.

"Master's wife, do you want to ask about that girl from the Qinglan family?" Chen Xuan suddenly changed his aura and grabbed Long Yuyan's hand to ask.

"Huh?! Why, why are you suddenly asking this?" Long Yuyan was a little flustered by the question and tried to pull her hand back, but found that Chen Xuan was holding it tightly.

"Ever since you heard about that Miss Qinglan, your attitude towards me seems to have changed!"

"No, no, Xuan'er, you can't say that... Oh~ what are you doing!"

Before Long Yuyan could finish speaking, she found herself already in Chen Xuan's arms.

“Master’s wife, I only realized how precious you are after experiencing life and death on this trip.”

"Alright, Xuan'er, stop fooling around and let go of your master's wife right now!"

"I just wanted to hug my master's wife. I'm afraid that I won't be able to hug you again in the future," Chen Xuan said.

At this point, all that's needed is to get Long Yuyan completely flustered; any communication doesn't require logic at all.

"Nonsense! Xuan'er, how could your master's wife let you not be able to hold him? Don't overthink it!" Long Yuyan gently advised.

Chen Xuan buried his head in Long Yuyan's arms and sighed softly.

“Master’s wife, I know you care about me, but I encountered many dangers on this trip. I worry, what if one day I can no longer return to Monster Academy, and can no longer see you?”

Long Yuyan's heart trembled, as if she had been struck by something.

Xuan'er must have encountered a lot of dangers on this trip, otherwise he wouldn't have said such a thing.

So she gently stroked Chen Xuan's hair and comforted him, "Xuan'er, don't think too much. Your master's wife... will always be with you."

Chen Xuan raised his head, looked at the flustered Long Yuyan, and said firmly, "Master's wife, I... I want to spend the rest of my life with you."

Upon hearing this, Long Yuyan panicked even more, as she hadn't expected Chen Xuan to say such a thing.

Chen Xuan continued, "Master's wife, I know this might be a bit sudden, but ever since I encountered danger in the secret realm, I couldn't stop thinking about you. My mind was filled with thoughts of you!"

I truly love you! I hope I can be with you, my teacher's wife, until the end of my life.

"Xuan, Xuan'er, your master's wife knows your feelings, but... but our relationship is too special. I... I don't want things to be like this..."

Long Yuyan was even stuttering a little when she spoke.

Chen Xuan shook his head: "Master's wife, I don't care about any of that. I just want to be with you, and that will never change no matter what happens."

Long Yuyan was moved after hearing this; she could feel that Chen Xuan was sincere.

But she really can't afford to make a mistake!

"Xuan'er, calm down. Your master's wife promises you, I will not leave you."

"I can't calm down. I know this might be my only chance, Master's wife. Once this opportunity is gone, I might never have the courage to say these things to you again!"

Seeing Long Yuyan hesitate, how could Chen Xuan possibly let go?

He originally thought that his relationship with Long Yuyan wasn't quite there yet, but he didn't expect that Yu Gang's low emotional intelligence last time would make Long Yuyan feel quite disheartened.

Long Yuyan felt a little numb. She had originally thought that only she had feelings for this disciple, but she hadn't expected that Chen Xuan had already fallen deeply in love with her...

As the two embraced, Chen Xuan's aura continued to waft over her, making her feel somewhat intoxicated.

“Master’s wife, if you don’t say anything, I’ll take that as a yes.”

"Xuan'er, don't do this, let me... um!"

Before Long Yuyan could even finish her hesitation, Chen Xuan had already succeeded, and she couldn't help but widen her eyes in disbelief.

朱珠：“(?6?1?0?6へ?6?1?0?7╮)”

Rouwu: "(╬◣д◢)"

Okay, okay, you really intend to leave none of them behind, huh? Fine, just you wait!

Bixiao: "Brilliant, brilliant! In that case, I'll show you what I've got!"

“Master’s wife, no matter how long it takes, I will wait for you.”

Chen Xuan held Long Yuyan tightly, feeling each other's warmth and heartbeat.
