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

"If that's the case, I'll be going now. I'll come see you another day." Chen Xuan suddenly stood up and left without looking back.

Only after watching Chen Xuan walk away did Ning Yuewan's face turn pale again, and she spat out a mouthful of blood.

"Chen Xuan, you bastard, why do I still feel feelings for you even after you've left?"

Ning Yuewan bit her lip, her heart filled with conflict.

Chen Xuan's appearance completely disrupted her life, making it impossible for her to maintain a peaceful mind.

After saying goodbye to Ning Yuewan, Chen Xuan did not return to his own little world, but instead visited the Zhu family.

With the token, he could easily pass through the Zhu family and arrive at Zhu Zhu's courtyard.

"Chen Xuan!!"

As soon as Chen Xuan entered the Zhu family's door, Zhu Zhu, who had nothing to do, immediately sensed it and pounced on Chen Xuan.

However, Chen Xuan dodged the attack.

This girl, instead of restraining herself at this moment.

Zhu Zhu pouted, but didn't say anything more.

"Hmph, Young Master Chen, now you remember me?"

"Hehe, I've been too busy on weekdays, and I noticed you've been staying home a lot lately, so I came to check on you!"

"What else could it be? Because I ran away once before, and now those old Dengs won't let me go out."

"So that's how it is! No wonder you could hold back!" Chen Xuan smiled and pinched Zhu Zhu's little face.

"Hmph!" The girl turned away immediately.

"Alright, alright, I've almost finished dealing with everything now. Don't worry, in a few more days, I promise I'll take you away, okay?"

"You, you're serious?" The girl immediately perked up.

"Of course it's true! When have I ever lied to you?"

"Hmph, you haven't lied enough! Let me tell you, if it weren't for the fact that you were lying to me, anyone else would have run away long ago!"

"Yes, yes, our Miss Zhu Zhu is the best, is that alright now!"

"That's what it is!"

"Haha, my kitten is so cute! But there's still one question I don't quite understand."

"what is the problem?"

"Yeah..." Chen Xuan hesitated to speak, since the question concerned another woman.

"What? When did you start keeping people in suspense like this!"

"Exactly, if I wanted to take a woman away from the royal family of the White Tiger Empire, it went very smoothly at first, but then she suddenly turned pale and her attitude towards me completely changed. What happened?"

Chen Xuan wasn't stupid. Ning Yuewan's sudden change in attitude must mean there was something she couldn't say, so he chose to leave and ask others.

"A woman from the royal family? Who are you talking about?"

Sure enough, the jealous girl immediately grabbed Chen Xuan.

"Ahem, I meant if, if! In this vast White Tiger Empire, who could be as beautiful as my Zhu Zhu? I wouldn't even look at an ordinary person!"

"Give me a break! You already said she was harmed by her vow, and you're still talking to me with 'what ifs'? Tell me, which woman surnamed Dai is she!"

There wasn't a single noble in the White Tiger Empire that Zhu Zhu didn't know.

"No, no, really no! I just happened to pass by and saw her. I swear to God, there is absolutely no woman surnamed Dai!" Chen Xuan said sincerely.

Zhu Zhu looked at Chen Xuan suspiciously before believing him.

Because no woman with the surname Dai can compare to her in looks!

"What you're describing is a vow made in accordance with the Heavenly Dao!"

"A vow to Heaven?"

"That's right. Generally speaking, people from large families, royal ladies, and even princes and heirs must make a vow to Heaven!"

"No, why would they make oaths for no reason?"

"It's all for personal gain, to prevent family traitors from being controlled by the little boss!"

Chen Xuan: "???"

"Oh, how could you be so stupid!"

"To put it this way, it's like a noble lady from a large family who has spent a lot of effort and resources to raise her, only to have her suddenly run away with some unknown wild boy and leave the family. In that case, all the family's efforts in raising her have been in vain, and they've just done all the work for someone else!"

"So you want these noble ladies to swear an oath never to leave their families?"

"Not really, unless the person who comes to propose marriage offers a large dowry of equal value, or the person marries into a family, the family will release the person. It's impossible for someone to remain unmarried for life."

"Isn't this just buying and selling?"

"How could that be? The premise is that the wild boy has to make the noble lady fall in love with him. Just that one condition alone would deter countless people! After all, how could a noble lady raised by her family with a lot of money have low standards? Only those who are new to the world and know nothing would be deceived by men!"

"Um, why do I feel like you're talking about yourself?"

"Pah! I'm not a greenhorn. It's all because of what you did to me in the mortal realm... Anyway, I'm never going to get married!" Zhu Zhu protested, reaching out to pinch Chen Xuan.

"Ahem, that doesn't make sense either. How could you openly plot to elope with me? Didn't you swear an oath?"

"Why should I swear an oath? According to the family's arrangement, I am destined to be the Empress of the White Tiger Empire. Who would dare make me swear an oath? They're all afraid I'll hold a grudge and seek revenge in the future!"

"Good guy..."

"Do those who marry into the family also have to swear an oath?"

"Of course! The family provides cultivation resources and techniques, so we have to swear an oath!"

"I see. I didn't expect my Zhu Zhu to know so much!"

"Go away, this is just the most basic family rule, stop bragging!" Although the girl said this, she couldn't stop smiling.

She slowly moved closer to Chen Xuan and buried her face in his arms.

However, at that moment, the door to Zhu Zhu's courtyard was opened.

The two separated at lightning speed, sat up straight, and then looked at the door together.

A delicate and beautiful woman slowly walked into the courtyard.

The beautiful woman had a calm expression on her face. She looked to be in her thirties, with a plump and radiant figure. Her loose beige knitwear made her skin appear as white as jade. Her hair was neatly styled, and her eyes were full of affection. She still retained her charm.

(I really can't find a suitable picture, so just post whatever comes to mind.)

"Mother!? You, why are you here?" Zhu Zhu was very surprised.

"Ah, Mother? Zhu Zhu, if you hadn't said so, I would have thought this was your older sister!" Chen Xuan feigned surprise.

"Hmph, what do you know? When my mother was young, she was the most beautiful woman in the White Tiger Empire. Countless men in the entire White Tiger Empire wanted to marry her!" Zhu Zhu said proudly.

"Really? Then I am truly fortunate to meet such a beautiful woman today."

"Thank you for the compliment. However, Mr. Chen, you are the first person to dare to praise me like this in front of me. I will remember that." Zhu Zhu's mother smiled slightly, making her even more beautiful and charming.

"Oh dear, why are you remembering him? Mother, is there something you need from us?"

"Well, it's nothing much. I heard that Young Master Chen was visiting my Zhu family, so I thought I'd come and see. How did you two meet?" Zhu Zhu's mother asked with a smile, seemingly casually.

Zhu Zhu blushed.

(It turns out that quite a few people haven't seen Zhu Zhu yet; pictures of Zhu Zhu are in the discussion.)
