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

(I'm sure experienced readers can fill in the blanks, right?)

"Then now, let me..."

Then, she removed her clothes, revealing her fair skin, and walked step by step toward Chen Xuan to serve him until he went to bed.

Although Chen Xuan hesitated for a moment, he ultimately chose to accept his fate and closed his eyes.

That night, the wind and rain raged, lightning flashed and thunder roared, the wind and rain were fierce and swift, the clouds and fog were thick, the waves were turbulent and the storm was overwhelming.

Finally, darkness descended upon the land.

The next day, Chen Xuan woke up to find Liu Yun looking at him with admiration, and he couldn't help but feel a surge of pride.

"Lord Chen, you, you don't need to worry. I will never interfere with your private life. As long as you can keep me by your side, I will do anything you ask!" Liu Yun quickly explained when she saw Chen Xuan wake up.

"No need to explain. From now on, you can stay by my side as a maid." Chen Xuan pinched her cheek.

Whether she was a maid or not didn't really matter.

He then sat up, feeling aches and pains all over his body. That old geezer Qin Minghao was no longer any good, so Liu Yun yesterday was still rather…

After the two got to know each other and talked, under Chen Xuan's pressure, Liu Yun finally revealed Qin Minghao's true thoughts, which were simply that he wanted a child.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but complain inwardly, "This Qin Minghao has really given me a hard time! My bloodline with Liu Yun has absolutely nothing to do with the Qin family, yet this old bastard is just making trouble for no reason!"

"But to be fair, this willow branch is really fresh and delicious. Now you want me to return it? Don't even think about it."

"My lord, I'll have someone prepare a meal for you right away..."

"No need. The most delicious food is right next to me. Why go to such lengths?"

"Mmm?~"

……

"My lord, are you saying that I can really cultivate now??" Liu Yun looked incredulous, then her admiration for Chen Xuan grew even stronger, her eyes sparkling with hearts.

"Yes, now you can try to sense the spiritual energy. It shouldn't be too difficult."

"This is all thanks to you, my lord. I truly don't know how to repay you!"

"No need for repayment, just give me a few children. But from now on, you'll be stuck with me and won't be able to go anywhere else!"

"This is my honor!"

Then, Chen Xuan waved his hand and led Liu Yun into the secret realm.

At this moment, a large house had been generated in the secret realm under Zhou Wan'er's control, and Jin Ruoyan, Lin Shuiyao, and Zhou Wan'er were chatting inside.

"Oh, my husband is here!" Zhou Wan'er was the first to sense Chen Xuan's presence.

"Come on, come on! Look how excited you are!" Lin Shuiyao smiled casually. It's obvious she hasn't been bullied enough by Chen Xuan; she'll understand later.

"He even brought a woman in! It's... Liu Yun!?"

"Oh? Then we'll have to go out and ask him properly!"

Soon, when Chen Xuan arrived at the location, the three women were already waiting at the door.

"Husband, have we had guests?"

"Isn't this the matriarch of the Qin family? How come she's with my husband?" Zhou Wan'er asked.

"You are... the City Lord's wife!! You called Lord Chen 'husband'!" Liu Yun was so shocked she couldn't close her mouth.

"I..." Zhou Wan'er blushed instantly. She had originally wanted to question them, but it turned out that the two of them were the ones who...

"Yes, I am now Wan'er's husband." Chen Xuan nodded, put his arm around Zhou Wan'er, and confirmed Liu Yun's guess.

"Husband?! What...what's going on?" Liu Yun was incredulous. She hadn't expected Chen Xuan to have so many female confidantes at the same time, and their relationships seemed very close.

"Ahem, this is a long story. Let's go inside and talk about it." Chen Xuan smiled and pulled Liu Yun into the house.

The four women sat around the table, and Chen Xuan told Liu Yun the whole story of the three women. He also told the three women about Liu Yun's situation.

After hearing this, Liu Yun was so shocked she couldn't speak. That was the city lord! With a stomp of his foot, the entire Flame Feather City would tremble; how dare Chen Xuan be so audacious!

"My lord, you are truly...admirable!" Liu Yun exclaimed sincerely, her eyes filled with admiration and love as she looked at Chen Xuan. Her heart, which had been small when it came to growing flowers, had long been filled by Chen Xuan.

"Hehe, Liu Yun, we're family now, no need to be so polite." Chen Xuan smiled and shook his head. For now, he only found this future "villain" role amusing.

"Yes, if you need anything in the future, just let me know." Liu Yun nodded, having already fully accepted Chen Xuan's other women.

Of course, she also had to accept that her current status was far inferior to that of the three women in front of her.

"Okay, thank you in advance." Chen Xuan smiled, then turned to the other girls, "Wan'er, Shuiyao, Ruoyan, you should get along well and take care of each other from now on."

"Yes, my husband, we understand!"

"Um, Ruoyan, come out for a moment."

"Oh."

After Jin Ruoyan obediently followed Chen Xuan outside, she asked him why.

"that……"

"Husband, what is there between you and me that you can't talk about? Ruoyan has no secrets from you, no matter where she is, long ago, right?"

"Cough, it's like this..."

"Oh~ so it's my husband planning to make a move on Yanxin! I thought you would wait a little longer!" Jin Ruoyan giggled and hugged Chen Xuan's neck.

"What are you saying! What kind of talk is that! Your husband is only trying to protect her! Think about it, if I leave with Wan'er, won't the City Lord's Mansion cause trouble everywhere? That would be so dangerous!"

Jin Ruoyan smiled indifferently. How could she not know how stubborn her husband was?

He's probably already had feelings for my best friend! It's just... I had to go in first!

"Alright, then I'll reluctantly carry out your plan. After all, you're my husband!"

"Hehe, I knew Ruoyan was the best. I'll reward you properly after the baby is born!"

"Go away! Don't be so improper in broad daylight!" Jin Ruoyan pushed Chen Xuan away, her face flushed.

Actually, she had wanted to bring Liu Yanxin over to her side for a long time. Of Chen Xuan's four wives, she was the youngest! The other three were all seasoned, experienced women, and she couldn't possibly outmaneuver them!

But things are different when Liu Yanxin comes along. Given their relationship, they are natural allies! This gives her some say and prevents her from being marginalized!

Chen Xuan had no idea what Jin Ruoyan was thinking, but even if he did, he would just chuckle to himself.

As a gentleman, he was only interested in certain "special identities," but he would still pamper his wife just the same way, without any favoritism.
