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

"Since it was Ancestor Green Mountain who made the move... it seems that my White Tiger Empire will not be able to retain this opportunity." Dai Jianrong sighed heavily, his face full of helplessness and regret.

The Old Ancestor of Green Mountain is like a tangible mountain; he is powerless to reverse the situation.

Upon hearing this, Dai Dabai, who was standing to the side, was furious and his eyes widened in anger.

Unexpectedly, he had only ever wanted to compete for the position of leader at Monster Academy. He never expected that Tang Sirui would be so petty as to want to kill him!

No, he absolutely cannot swallow this insult!

"No, Father, we absolutely cannot let this go! What is Tang Sirui? Even if he has obtained many opportunities, he is still just a mere Nascent Soul cultivator. As long as we send my mother personally, we can definitely kill him in one fell swoop! Are you really willing to watch our White Tiger Empire decline like this?"

At this point, Dai Dabai became even more agitated. He clenched his fists tightly, radiating a strong sense of resentment.

He hated it! He really hated it! Zhu Zhu was his fiancée! How could you, his brother on the surface, dare to do that?!

Dai Jianrong fell into deep thought, unable to make a decision for the time being. After all, was it really worth it to ask the Empress to risk her life to kill Tang Sirui? This matter had far-reaching implications, and the consequences of failure would be unimaginable... Thinking of this, Dai Jianrong couldn't help but frown, his face full of worry.

"Forget it, you should go and ask your mother for help. Let her decide this matter!" Dai Jianrong said dejectedly, like a punctured balloon.

"Yes!"

Dai Dabai bowed respectfully and then left the court like an arrow, heading straight for the inner palace.

Upon entering the inner palace, everything else seemed calm and peaceful, except for some rather ugly palace maids. However, when Dai Dabai arrived at Ning Yuewan's side, he was surprised to find that there wasn't a single palace maid in sight!

He immediately had a bad feeling and, disregarding all etiquette, headed straight for the Empress's palace.

Sure enough, when he arrived at the Empress's palace, he found that there wasn't a single servant there!

"Mother!" Dai Dabai called out towards the palace.

No one responded.

Dai Dabai was startled; that ominous premonition surged into his heart again. He hurriedly went into the room and was instantly stunned.

The room in front of him was empty, devoid of anything except a dilapidated table with a photographic stone on it.

Behind the photo stone is a large character "Tang".

"No, not even the furniture is gone? This is...!"

Dai Dabai was unwilling to give up. He took the recording stone and continued to search for Ning Yuewan's whereabouts, but unfortunately, there was nothing left in the entire Empress's palace except for the recording stone.

Dai Dabai's face turned ashen. He picked up the recording stone, infused it with spiritual power, and a flash of light appeared, revealing the Empress's figure.

However, the figure did not move; it stood there quietly—it was a photograph.

In the photo, the Empress is dressed in a bright red wedding robe, adorned with a phoenix coronet and embroidered veil. Her makeup is exquisite, and her complexion is rosy. She lowers her head as if shyly. Her eyes reveal happiness and anticipation, as if she is waiting for some important moment.

All I can say is that Chen Xuan did a great job filming.

However, the whole scene gave Dai Dabai an eerie feeling, as if time had frozen at that moment. Dai Dabai stared at the Empress's figure, a nameless fear welling up in his heart.

"Tang, Tang Sirui, how could you be so beastly? This, this is me???" Dai Dabai's voice trembled as he spoke, like a candle flickering in the wind, ready to be extinguished at any moment.

He then frantically tried to find even the slightest clue in the photos, but unfortunately, it was like searching for a needle in a haystack, with no clue whatsoever.

But not long after, the recording stone seemed to be under a spell, and suddenly a voice came out. It was Ning Yuewan's voice.

However, the sound was so strange, like the cry of an owl, that it made one blush.

Then, Ning Yuewan's desperate pleas for mercy echoed from the memory stone. Her voice sounded like the mournful cry of a small animal being tortured to the point of death. But even her desperate pleas seemed to sink without a trace, instead igniting the kidnapper's anger and making him even stronger.

"No, that's not how it is, no!!!"

Dai Dabai screamed in pain, crushed the recording stone, and rushed into the imperial court.

"Tang, Si, Rui! I want you dead!"

......

On Chen Xuan's side.

After taking in the last group of civilians, the system notification sounded again, as resounding as a great bell:

"Ding! Congratulations, host, for successfully severing the foundation of the White Tiger Empire. Like a sharp sword, you have deeply pierced the roots of the person destined for greatness. Rewards include 40000 Destiny Points, a low-grade sacred artifact—the White Tiger Devouring Heaven Sword, a celestial-level cultivation technique to stabilize your cultivation foundation, ten high-grade Void Refining Pills, five precious medicinal herbs, and 40 chances to draw a prize. Rewards are now being distributed!"

As the system's voice faded, a dazzling light seemed to flash before Chen Xuan's eyes, and a pile of treasures appeared in front of him like stars in the night sky.

"A sacred artifact? What is this?"

"Ding! This is a rare treasure second only to an imperial artifact, its power is like a thunderbolt."

"In other words, this is still slightly inferior to an imperial artifact!"

"Well, that's true."

"..."

"This is indeed junk, not as handy as my Thunderfire Sword! Forget it, it's more suitable to use it as material for upgrading my Thunderfire Sword."

"And what is this immortal-level cultivation technique of yours?" Chen Xuan took it out and casually flipped through it.

"The Yuan Yang Technique, though it can be cultivated to the level of an immortal, has the drawback of not being able to reveal one's Yuan Yang... I really want to throw this useless thing away!"

Chen Xuan muttered something and then casually tossed it into a corner of a mortal city in the cave world.

Hmm, I hope that someone with great fortune will be reincarnated and overcome all obstacles, having countless beauties, but due to the limitations of their cultivation techniques, they cannot... hehehe!

"Sigh, we worked so hard to recruit so many people this time, even sending Ning Yuewan's maid over, but the rewards we received weren't as good as Ning Yuewan's! Sure enough, women get their rewards faster!"

Thinking of this, Chen Xuan turned his gaze to the Heavenly Realm of the Inner World, to the cave where Lin Rou was, where a white tiger golden egg lay quietly.

Although Chen Xuan didn't know why the white tiger was born from an egg, he was too lazy to care about such a fantasy novel setting. He just let it be, as long as nothing abstract hatched out.

"Ding!"

"The person with good fortune is Dai Dabai, whose fortune value has dropped below the kill threshold. If you kill this person, the host can gain good fortune and a generous reward."

Upon hearing this news, Chen Xuan frowned slightly, thinking to himself, "Hmm? It has actually reached the threshold? Let me check Dai Dabai's data first."

"Ding, retrieving relevant information..."

A moment later, a detailed document about Dai Dabai appeared before us—

Name: Dai Dabai

Cultivation level: Nascent Soul Ninth Level (Incredibly stable and solid foundation)

Innate potential: Possesses the qualities to become a god

Special Physique: White Tiger Frenzy Physique (Slightly Accomplished)

Cultivation Technique: White Tiger Roaring to the Heavens

Mastered skills: White Tiger Berserker Transformation, White Tiger Breath, White Tiger Protective Shield, White Tiger Meteor, and a series of other "powerful" moves...

At this moment, he was thinking: He wanted to use the tiger claws in his hand to kill Tang Sirui, claw after claw.

Personal belongings: Several luck-enhancing peach blossoms, and a considerable number of spirit stones.

"Wait, why is this guy carrying so little? Damn it, I have absolutely no interest in robbing him!"

"Ding, host, you just robbed him not long ago..."

"Oh, I see! My memory is terrible, I really have a bad memory!"

"..."
