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

White Tiger Empire.

Harem.

After passing through layers of guards, Chen Xuan finally arrived outside Empress Ning Yuewan's palace.

"Chen Xuan greets Your Majesty the Empress. Today is the day to present you with peach blossoms once again."

"Chen, Chen Xuan, come in."

As soon as Ning Yuewan finished speaking, Chen Xuan walked into the house.

To Chen Xuan's surprise, there was another beautiful woman in Ning Yuewan's palace at this time, and that woman was Wen Yurou.

"Chen Xuan, this is the matriarch of the Zhu family of my White Tiger Empire, Madam Wen Yurou. Please come and pay your respects."

Ning Yuewan felt a little jealous when she saw Chen Xuan staring at Wen Yurou, but she still introduced her to him.

"Greetings, Madam Zhu!" Chen Xuan bowed respectfully before looking at Ning Yuewan, noticing that she was still somewhat pale.

"Alright, Chen Xuan, stop acting like we've never met before!" Wen Yurou's eyes were slightly red, as if she had been crying. She was very dissatisfied with Chen Xuan and kept glaring at him.

Ever since she learned that her maid liked Chen Xuan, she informed the head of the Zhu family, who was also her husband, Zhu Ying. This made the latter extremely nervous, fearing that Zhu Zhu had somehow offended the royal family and implicated the Zhu family.

Zhu Zhu was thus placed under house arrest.

These days, the Zhu family has been investigating Chen Xuan. When they learned that Chen Xuan would be going to the Empress's palace today, Zhu Ying even asked himself to go to the Emperor's harem to talk to Chen Xuan in person and ask for some luck and peach blossom luck.

You must understand, she is the matriarch of a noble family. How could she be allowed to enter the emperor's harem so easily? Could she just throw away her reputation like that?

Furthermore, even if she entered the harem and the emperor was a good-for-nothing, and nothing happened, it still didn't mean anything. From now on, she would never be able to hold her head up in the eyes of anyone who knew the truth.

Zhu Ying's behavior was clearly a form of self-discipline! Yet he still did it, personally escorting me in and watching me enter the harem, then smiling slightly.

This speaks volumes.

It's highly likely that some important figure in the palace has taken a liking to her! And then, using Chen Xuan's luck and peach blossom luck as a bargaining chip, they secretly give the Zhu family some benefits in exchange for her!

Fortunately, Wen Yurou was on good terms with Ning Yuewan. Upon entering the palace, she went straight to the Empress's palace and, under the pretext of wanting to see Chen Xuan, hid inside and did not come out.

Only now, upon seeing Chen Xuan, did she show a hint of anger. Although she knew that this might not have much to do with Chen Xuan, he was ultimately the catalyst for this incident.

"Huh? You two know each other?" Ning Yuewan looked at Chen Xuan with a puzzled expression.

"Um, yes, I do know her. Actually, I've met Madam Zhu before! After all, Zhu Zhu is a member of our Monster Academy, so I can't not even pay her a visit!"

"That's true, what you said makes sense."

"What do you mean by reasonable? This is the truth!"

With outsiders present, Ning Yuewan behaved relatively normally, without any signs of a racing heart, probably because she knew Wen Yurou was there and Chen Xuan wouldn't dare to act recklessly.

"Here are today's eight peach blossoms. Your Majesty, please take a look."

"No need to look at it. Just give me the Peach Blossom of Life, and you can give the rest to Yu Rou."

"For Madam Zhu?"

"Yes, the Zhu family are the backbone of my White Tiger Empire, so naturally they are entitled to a share of the peach blossoms."

"So that's how it is..." Chen Xuan said, then turned around and handed the peach blossom to Wen Yurou.

The latter took the peach blossom, but instead of looking at Chen Xuan, she looked at Ning Yuewan in surprise.

This iron-fisted empress knew very well that she would never repeat herself to her servants! Yet, she patiently explained to Chen Xuan!

How could these aristocratic families not know Chen Xuan's true identity?

A puppet manipulated by others has somehow earned the respect of this empress...

Something's not right... 10 points, 12 points is not right!

However, Wen Yurou was an experienced person after all, and she immediately thanked her with a normal expression: "Is this the Qi Luck Peach Blossom? It is quite pretty, but I wonder what it will be like after eating it."

Looking at the lucky peach blossom in her hand, Wen Yurou's expression was complicated.

The fact that these little things I have can afford to buy me is truly absurd!

"Madam Zhu can try it herself."

"No need for that. I'll save it for the younger generation in my family. Let's talk about it next time."

"If that's the case, then..."

"Well, I have nothing else to do here, you can go back now!" Ning Yuewan saw that Chen Xuan was hesitant to speak, so she immediately wanted Chen Xuan to leave.

Anyway, he didn't hold back his anger.

"No, this matter is extremely important, and I must discuss it with Her Majesty the Empress."

Ning Yuewan frowned. She definitely couldn't be alone with Chen Xuan, otherwise she would be completely taken advantage of, not to mention the punishment the Heavenly Oath might inflict on her.

"What exactly happened?"

"This... Madam Zhu, please go out first. I need to report to Her Majesty alone."

Wen Yurou's gaze became increasingly strange.

"No, no! Yu Rou is my good friend. You don't need to avoid her if there's anything going on!" Ning Yuewan quickly refused.

"Ah? Okay, okay, Your Majesty."

Wen Yurou was stunned for a moment, then realized what was happening and remained motionless.

Anyway, she didn't want to leave.

Upon hearing this, Chen Xuan glanced at Wen Yurou. She was in the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm, which was most likely due to the resources she had accumulated, and she posed no threat to him.

"Since you are Her Majesty's friend, I will get straight to the point."

"W-what is it?" Ning Yuewan inadvertently took a step back, which Wen Yurou observed very carefully.

Something's fishy! Something's fishy!

"Ah, it's actually the same thing as before. Your Majesty personally suppressed my cultivation to the Nascent Soul stage and pointed out some of my shortcomings in combat. This time, I have corrected them well and would like to ask you for guidance again."

Wen Yurou: "......"

Huh? That's it? That's all??

Wen Yurou's gaze then turned to Ning Yuewan, and then an even more shocking scene unfolded.

The White Tiger Empire's mighty Empress Ning Yuewan, with her face flushed, retreated step by step back to her jade couch!

Wen Yurou instantly felt that she might not be able to leave this room today, and might even die in it.

"No, no need. Your combat ability is outstanding, and I don't think I have anything to teach you."

Chen Xuan's gaze instantly turned stern, and Ning Yuewan dared not meet his eyes.

"It's just a normal match, you know what I mean!"

After a long silence, Ning Yuewan seemed to understand Chen Xuan's determination and finally agreed to his request.
