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

"It's not that I would think that way."

"But Your Majesty, it seems you're treating me like a fool, aren't you?"

"That's not how it is, Chen Xuan, let me explain..."

"No need for explanations, I'll just ask you, can I still leave this White Tiger Empire?"

"..."

Ning Yuewan lowered her head and remained silent, unsure how to answer Chen Xuan's question.

"If that's the case, then what are you going to pretend for, Your Highness?"

"I...I didn't!" Ning Yuewan still didn't dare to look at Chen Xuan.

She didn't know what had happened to her. She seemed to be a completely different person from Ning Yuewan. The Ning Yuewan of the past was hot-tempered and outspoken. How could she be so timid and submissive?

But now, after meeting Chen Xuan, she seems to have become a timid little cat.

"Oh? You don't? So that means Your Majesty likes me? Oh dear, as the Empress of the White Tiger Empire, Your Majesty is truly unqualified!"

"No, no, Chen Xuan, let me explain..."

'It's over, it's over, he figured it out, what should I do!' Ning Yuewan was so ashamed that she lost all her strength, just like last time when Chen Xuan caught her weakness.

She was clearly the majestic Tiger King, so why is she so different from before when she sees Chen Xuan now?

Chen Xuan walked towards Ning Yuewan step by step.

Ning Yuewan wanted to back away, but she found that her legs seemed a little weak.

The next moment, Chen Xuan grabbed Ning Yuewan's small foot.

There was nothing she could do; this woman always liked to go barefoot, and she had no idea that Chen Xuan had been craving her for a long time.

"You, what are you going to do?"

"Nothing," Chen Xuan said calmly.

Then, with a slight effort, Ning Yuewan was already in his arms, and Chen Xuan lifted the Empress's chin.

"However, I quite like you, this unqualified queen. So, do you like me?"

Ning Yuewan trembled, then fell silent, unsure how to respond.

Like him? It seems so. Chen Xuan's appearance is indeed flawless, and he even has an irresistible charm.

However, this liking is the kind that comes from having only met a few times; it's very superficial and not enough to be called love.

"Never mind, you don't need to answer. I already know the answer." Chen Xuan was excited when he saw Ning Yuewan's silence, but he pretended to be disappointed, picked up the noblewoman in his arms, turned around and walked towards the jade couch, where he sat down.

"Chen, Chen Xuan, you've misunderstood, I..." Ning Yuewan was at a loss when she saw Chen Xuan's distraught appearance. She wanted to explain something, but she didn't know how to start.

"It's alright. I know you don't like me. After all, I'm just a lowly doctor, while you are the high and mighty Empress of the White Tiger Empire. I'm not good enough for you," Chen Xuan said with a bitter smile, but a hint of sadness flashed in his eyes.

With his helpless and vulnerable puppy persona, he's got Ning Yuewan wrapped around his little finger.

Seeing Chen Xuan's dejected look, Ning Yuewan suddenly felt a pang of heartache. She wanted to explain, but didn't know how to begin.

"I... I didn't mean that, I just..."

“I know you just think of me as a lowly doctor with no background or ability, and you look down on me.”

Chen Xuan reiterated his background of being alone and helpless.

"I...I really didn't! I used to be one of those birds on the mountain too..."

Chen Xuan shook his head, then hugged Ning Yuewan tightly in his arms and whispered, "Even so, it doesn't matter, because I've fallen in love with you. So, I will definitely try my best to make you fall in love with me, and I will make you the happiest woman in the entire cultivation world."

Ning Yuewan's heart trembled. She sensed Chen Xuan's determination and her own feelings for him, and her heart was thrown into turmoil.

Chen Xuan didn't care whether she was in a state of confusion or not. He smiled slightly, then suddenly lowered his head and fiercely captured Ning Yuewan's cherry lips.

Ning Yuewan trembled. She never expected Chen Xuan to attack her so suddenly, but she did not refuse and let Chen Xuan attack her.

The two separated only after one of them became dishonest.

"Your Majesty, I will try my best to make you like me," Chen Xuan said with a smile, licking his lips.

Ning Yuewan blushed and nodded subconsciously, but a sweet feeling suddenly welled up in her heart.

She felt as if she had truly fallen for Chen Xuan, because just now, for the first time in her life, she felt happiness, a sweet happiness.

But soon, a feeling of unease welled up in Ning Yuewan's heart, and her face turned extremely pale in an instant.

"Wan'er, what's wrong with you?"

"Don't call me Wan'er!" Ning Yuewan's face was pale and her voice trembled.

"I am the Empress of the White Tiger Empire, and I will dedicate my life to the White Tiger Empire unless the White Tiger Empire abandons me. You were the little thief who ambushed me just now, which allowed you to succeed. There will never be a next time!"

Chen Xuan: "???!!"

After Ning Yuewan finished speaking to Chen Xuan, her will seemed to become stronger. After pushing Chen Xuan away forcefully, her complexion regained its rosy hue.

"You can leave now! Don't mention what happened today again, and I'll pretend it never happened!"

"What happened to you just now? Why did your face suddenly turn so pale?" Chen Xuan ignored Ning Yuewan's words, grabbed her hand, and took her pulse.

Unfortunately, he didn't see anything.

When Ning Yuewan saw that Chen Xuan still treated her with the same attitude even after she suddenly became indifferent, tears welled up in her eyes, but unfortunately, she could not do as Chen Xuan wished.

"..."
