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

(If you are going to watch this with serious intentions, I do not recommend it.)

Even before Chen Xuan arrived, Yan Xi had already paced back and forth inside the house several times.

He felt a strange, lingering feeling in his heart. This inexplicable and awkward sensation made him feel restless and uneasy, yet he had no way of knowing where it came from.

"Could it be that they've discovered me?"

"This is impossible! So many days have passed, and they haven't noticed. Why did they suddenly discover it today..."

"Could it be that Chen Xuan is... finished? Because of Ningning...?"

Thinking of this, Yan Xi's face turned pale and then green, seemingly both happy and regretful.

The next moment, Chen Xuan pushed the door open and entered.

Seeing Yan Xi's appearance, he chuckled and said, "Brother Yan, why are you pacing back and forth in the room? Haven't you started cultivating yet?"

Yan Xi was startled when she saw Chen Xuan. She quickly stood up straight and asked somewhat guiltily, "Chen Xuan, what brings you here so late?"

"Can't I just chat with you if there's nothing wrong? Brother Yan, you seem a bit anxious. Would you like to talk to me about it and I can help you relax?"

"No, that's not true. I'm about to begin my cultivation. If you have nothing else to do, you may leave!"

"Oh, Brother Yan, you're mistaken. I do have something to do!"

"I don't care what you want!"

"It's about Zhai Ningning."

"Talk about something!"

Chen Xuan smiled slightly.

"Actually, Brother Yan, Ningning and I are both well aware that you overheard our conversation here!"

"What?! You...you actually...!!!" Even Yan Xi, the sycophant, blushed after being exposed by Chen Xuan. His eyes widened, he pointed his finger directly at Chen Xuan, his lips trembling, and he couldn't utter a complete sentence for a long time.

After a long while, he finally spoke:

"You, you mustn't spout nonsense and make up lies here!" he roared furiously.

"Hey, how could I have falsely accused you, Brother Yan? Tell me, didn't you secretly hide here and eavesdrop on me and Ningning the other day?" Chen Xuan's lips curled up slightly, revealing a half-smile, and he stared at Yan Xi with a teasing look in his eyes.

Yan Xi's face was flushed red. He opened his mouth, about to retort, but before he could speak, Chen Xuan abruptly cut him off again.

"Alright, alright, this isn't anything embarrassing to talk about at all. To be honest, Ningning and I already knew you had feelings for her, so it's only natural that we couldn't help but eavesdrop," Chen Xuan continued unhurriedly.

Upon hearing this, Yan Xi's face grew even more gloomy and unpleasant, but he dared not do anything at this moment. He was like a deflated balloon, his head drooping, and he dared not look directly into Chen Xuan's eyes, which were filled with a hint of mockery.

Zhai Ningning didn't come in person, presumably to save him face.

"Now, you've come to me to clarify this matter, what do you mean by that?"

"Actually, it doesn't mean anything. But what I want to say is that I really care whether you're listening or not."

"?????"

"What...what do you mean by that?!"

"Brother Yan, you really don't know this! Every time I'm with Ningning, if I know you're eavesdropping with great interest, an indescribable sense of amusement wells up inside me! And Ningning, she's as shy as a ripe apple, so adorable! She's simply the epitome of cuteness!" Chen Xuan said with a smile.

Upon hearing these words, Yan Xi's face instantly turned as red as a pig's liver, as if he could bleed from anger.

His eyes widened, his hand trembled, and he pointed at Chen Xuan, roaring furiously, "You, what exactly do you intend to do?!"

Chen Xuan replied unhurriedly, "Hehe... Actually, I just feel that since Brother Yanxi has such extraordinary abilities that can add a lot of fun to my and Ningning's lives, why not let this happiness continue? Therefore, I would like to humbly invite Brother Yanxi to become Ningning and me's exclusive eavesdropper!"

After he finished speaking, the scene fell into a deathly silence.

However, just when Chen Xuan thought Yan Xi would lose his temper again, something unexpected happened—Yan Xi calmed down after a brief period of anger.

Could it be... that deep down, he actually felt a subtle... stirring of emotion towards his seemingly absurd request?

Yan Xi remained silent, but his limbs began to tremble uncontrollably, just like when he first fought.

Chen Xuan's smile widened upon seeing this:

"What do you think, Brother Yan? You should know that this is Zhai Ningning, the eldest daughter of the Zhai family! If you don't agree to such a good thing, I might be taken back to the Zhai family by Ningning. In that case, you might never have any contact with Ningning again in your life!"

Yan Xi clenched his fists so tightly that his nails dug into his flesh, feeling the torment in his heart. After a long while, he slowly loosened his fists.

He has made his decision.

“I…” Yan Xi took a deep breath.

"I agree!"

After saying that, he lost all his strength and collapsed to the ground.

"What?!" Chen Xuan was stunned.

"You agree to this???"

"As long as it makes Ningning happy... I will naturally agree!"

"Ugh, you simp, you're disgusting!" Chen Xuan stepped forward with disdain and kicked Yan Xi away.

Yan Xi clutched his chest, his eyes filled with disbelief and anger.

"Chen Xuan! What are you doing? I already agreed to your request, why are you doing this...?"

"Ningning said she felt disgusted with you and specifically asked me to hit you. I forgot just now."

"you......!"

"Ningning has some additional conditions for this."

"you say!"

"First, I will cripple your cultivation."

"This is impossible!"

"Second, cut off the root of your troubles."

"Are you kidding me?!" Yan Xi gritted his teeth until they were practically ground to powder; he finally realized what was happening.

"Well, not exactly. At first, I really did think that way, but now, I think you're disgusting beyond belief, so... you might as well just die!"

As Chen Xuan spoke, he raised his knife and shattered Yan Xi's soul.

He didn't even have time to react before he was already dead.

"Damn it, this is disgusting. I haven't been able to eat for three days. I guess I won't need those seasonings I was given as a reward for now."
