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

Seeing the Third Elder's resentful gaze, Chen Xuan smiled and walked towards Yun Xuan.

"How about it, Aunt Yunxuan? Isn't this surprise for you big enough?"

Yunxuan was sobbing at the moment, and when she saw Chen Xuan like this, she rolled her eyes.

I was so busy venting my emotions that I didn't even know how my senior sister met Chen Xuan.

"How...how did you meet my senior sister?"

"Well, that's a long story! If you want to hear it, Uncle-Master, just stay here a little longer and ask Mu Li! Anyway, even if you go out, you won't have anything to do, so you might as well focus on cultivating and improving yourselves!"

"..."

Yunxuan keenly sensed something amiss.

Chen Xuan addressed himself as "Shishu" (a term of respect for his senior brother), but addressed Mu Li by her given name, specifically the last two characters. This was extremely strange!

Moreover, if the maximum score for this kind of abnormality is ten, then the current situation is absolutely twelve points abnormal!

At this moment, Qian Muli also spoke up to persuade her, "Yunxuan, you should listen to his arrangements. I still have many things to ask you! You should stay here!"

Yunxuan was not convinced; instead, she found everything in front of her increasingly suspicious.

Her eyes widened, and she pointed at Qian Muli, saying, "Something's wrong! Senior sister, something's definitely wrong with you!"

Faced with Yun Xuan's sudden accusation, Qian Muli looked bewildered and asked in confusion, "?"

"Senior sister, what's going on between you and this brat...?"

Before she could finish speaking, Qian Muli suddenly interrupted excitedly, "Hey! How could you call him a brat!"

Upon hearing this, Yunxuan was even more confused, her mind filled with questions.

Just then, Chen Xuan seemed to realize that the atmosphere was a bit awkward, and quickly tried to smooth things over:

"Ahem, since Martial Aunt Yunxuan has also decided to stay, then you should hurry up and find a suitable place to establish your sect. I won't bother you any longer, farewell!" With that, he turned and left swiftly.

"Chen Xuan, you..."

"Oh dear! Yunxuan, what have you done? How could Chen Xuan call you 'Shishu' (a term of respect for a senior martial arts master)?"

Seeing Chen Xuan run away, Qian Muli sensed that something was wrong, and her face flushed slightly.

But she still mustered the courage to ask why.

"He... he married a woman from our sect. I'm of a higher generation than her, so I'm his senior uncle! But why does he call you so intimately, Senior Sister?"

"Married a woman from our sect? Who is she?!"

Yunxuan looked in Xiao Hongmei's direction, her eyes empty.

No? Where am I? Where did such a big person like me go? Huh?

"Stop looking! Chen Xuan just took Hongmei away. She's probably up there!" Ninth Elder interjected at the opportune moment.

"..."

"It's all over, it's all over now! I was supposed to be laughing at my sisters, but now they're laughing at me. What have I done to deserve this?" Qian Muli sighed.

"What exactly is going on?" Yunxuan asked, her face full of confusion.

"Oh, it's nothing serious. It's just that Senior Sister Mu Li is Chen Xuan's wife now," Jiu Xi explained.

Upon hearing this, Yunxuan froze instantly, as if time had stopped flowing.

After a long while, she finally came to her senses and roared furiously, "Chen Xuan, you come out here! I'll beat you to death!" Her voice resounded through the sky, making the leaves around her rustle.

"Snap!" A crisp, springy sound rang out.

"How dare you talk like that! That's your brother-in-law!"

Qian Muli patted Yunxuan's (body) in an annoyed tone, but was surprised to find that it felt wonderful. She couldn't help but mutter to herself: Hmm, now I understand why my husband likes this.

Yunxuan looked at the Ninth Elder with a lifeless expression, her eyes filled with helplessness and despair.

At this moment, Jiu Xi added another sarcastic remark from the side: "Useless senior sister, Senior Sister Mu Li's child is already old enough to run errands!"

These words were like a sharp sword, piercing Yunxuan's heart and making her already broken spirit even more broken.

Just then, Qian Muli heard Jiu Xi mention her child and slapped her forehead, saying, "Oh dear, what a forgetful me! I came in such a hurry that I haven't even had a chance to let you see my baby yet. Don't worry, Xiao Xuan, I'll bring her to you right away!"

After saying that, she rushed towards Tianyuan Valley and returned with her daughter Chen Ying in no time.

"Yingying, come here, this is your Aunt Yunxuan!"

"Hello, Aunt Yunxuan!" The little one blinked his big eyes and greeted her very obediently.

Looking at the little girl in front of her who bore a striking resemblance to her senior sister, Yunxuan was momentarily flustered and quickly took out a remarkable treasure to give to Chen Ying as a gift.

The main problem is that this happened so suddenly that she couldn't react or didn't want to react!

This is worse than the sky falling down!

"Thank you, Aunt Yunxuan!" The little guy looked at Yunxuan with shining eyes.

"You're welcome, Auntie, I love you the most!"

After a long while, Yunxuan finally accepted reality, picked up the little one, and examined her aptitude.

Senior Sister Mu Li has exceptional talent, so Yingying's talent must be just as good.

As expected, Yunxuan was stunned when she learned of Chen Ying's talent.

"Heavens, Heavenly Spiritual Root?!" She looked at Qian Muli in disbelief, and the latter nodded affirmatively.

"Heavens! This is the beauty of a celestial being!" Yunxuan's breathing became rapid.

"This... is unbelievable! My Thousand Fall Holy Land is truly on the rise!"

Qian Muli and Jiu Xi smiled but did not speak.

After a long while, Yunxuan calmed down a bit, picked up Chen Ying, and immediately offered to take her as her disciple.

Upon hearing this, Qian Muli nodded, indicating that there was no problem.

"No! Absolutely not, Senior Sister!" Jiu Xi suddenly exclaimed.

Yunxuan put on a stern face and looked at Jiuxi with an unfriendly gaze.

"Little Jiu, what do you mean by that? Do you think I'm not worthy to be Yingying's master? Or are you trying to steal her from me?!"

Qian Muli also looked at Jiu Xi in surprise.

"No, none of that is true!" Jiu Xi ignored Yun Xuan and instead said to Qian Muli, "Senior Sister, have you forgotten about Liu Yuning and Lin Qingxue? Both of them wanted to be masters, but look at them now..."

In an instant, as if struck by a sudden enlightenment, Qian Muli quickly pulled Chen Ying back into her arms.

Yunxuan: "???"

"Ahem, well, Xiaoxuan, about the matter of becoming an apprentice, I think it's still worth discussing! How about..."

"No! Senior sister, you've changed! You're no longer the kind senior sister who loved and cared for me!"

Qian Muli was completely exasperated.

Senior sister is doing this for your own good, you know? Otherwise, it won't be long before you'll be giving birth to a baby yourself!

"I think we should ask Yingying about this! If she's willing, that's enough!"

Yunxuan suddenly turned her eyes and looked at Chen Ying.
