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

A week later.

Manager Liu paid another visit.

"Manager Lin, what is the meaning of this? Why don't you use such a fine cauldron?"

Lin Rou said sternly, "Don't talk nonsense. How would you know I didn't use it!"

"Hehe, looking at your cauldron, it's so white and tender, still full of vitality. I knew it, Elder Lin, you just haven't been willing to use it!"

Lin Rou blushed and unconsciously looked at Chen Xuan.

I almost got used by him last time, and you still want to use him!

"You don't need to worry about that. I have my own plans!"

"Hey, Manager Lin, that's not right. It's just a cauldron. The sisters won't take advantage of you. We'll pay the price after you've used it and buy it from you! You'll still get the lion's share!"

Manager Liu made a gesture.

She doesn't know what's wrong with her these past few days; she only caught a glimpse of the cauldron once, but she can't get it out of her mind.

"Alright, I understand. If you have nothing else to say, you can go back now!" Lin Rou said expressionlessly.

"Then, sister, you'd better hurry up!"

"Bang!" Lin Rou slammed the door shut.

"I never expected you to be so popular!" Lin Rou closed the door, walked to Chen Xuan's side, and said with a hint of sourness.

"What's wrong? Are you jealous?"

"Tch, who would be jealous of you? I am the Mother of Life, I have lived for countless years, and I have pursued the Great Dao with unwavering focus. Why would I care about your petty schemes?" Lin Rou said disdainfully.

"Really? Then why did you...?"

Just as Chen Xuan was about to mock Lin Rou, he noticed that the cloud-shaped mark on his forehead was slightly hot. He figured that Bi Xiao felt hurt by Lin Rou's area-of-effect attack and was deliberately expressing her dissatisfaction.

"Yes, yes, I'll make her one of you, is that alright?" Chen Xuan said helplessly.

"Who are you talking to!"

"I didn't do it with anyone else, it was with my wife," Chen Xuan said calmly.

"Pah! I will never be your wife!"

"..."

Chen Xuan didn't say much, but instead stretched out his palm and pulled Lin Rou directly to his side.

"?!!"

"What are you going to do? Let me go!"

"You asked me that, so I'll take it."

"Chen, Chen Xuan, you can't go too far!" Lin Rou's face was flushed, whether from anger or something else, it was hard to tell.

"Not at all, not at all. You're a part of me, how could I possibly be unreasonable to you! I just wanted to finish what I couldn't complete a few days ago!" Chen Xuan said, then settled down...

"Mmm..."

Before long, the entire Hehuan Sect was no longer shrouded in gloom.

"A heavenly tribulation? How is this possible? The small Hehuan Sect has no talented disciples. So who is undergoing this tribulation?!"

The doors to the main hall of the sect opened instantly, and Hua Mengjie frowned as she looked up at the sky above the Hehuan Sect.

Everyone in the offering area was shocked and started cursing.

"The offering area, so it's you! You really can't judge a book by its cover!"

"He doesn't even know how to choose a good place for his breakthrough, insisting on doing it within the sect. What a hassle! But it's also good this way, as I can witness the scene of tribulation in advance and accumulate my own experience!"

Hua Mengjie murmured to herself, then waved her jade hand, teleporting all the disciples of the sect to a safer area.

"I'll deal with you after you've overcome your tribulation!" With that, her figure slowly disappeared.

The Heavenly Tribulation is something that must not be interfered with under any circumstances. Anyone who recklessly enters the Tribulation Zone or is forced to enter will instantly enrage the Heavenly Dao, which will strike the interferer dead.

Meanwhile, in the central area of ​​the tribulation, Chen Xuan, carrying a slightly tired Lin Rou, was still fighting!

When the tribulation lightning was almost fully prepared, Chen Xuan finally stopped fighting.

"Alright, my husband, I was wrong, please... please spare me! Right now, your tribulation lightning is about to strike!"

"Actually, it's our tribulation of lightning." Chen Xuan smiled calmly and looked up at the sky.

"We...?" Lin Rou examined herself and discovered that her cultivation had actually reached the Integration Realm!

"Alright, it's time to test my tribulation. Luckily, I personally prefer to wear clothes." Chen Xuan stood up and straightened Lin Rou's disheveled clothes.

Lin Rou looked down at the blood flowing from her wound and couldn't help but grit her teeth.

I'll settle the score with you later!

Once she was ready, she took to the air and faced the heavenly tribulation head-on.

This is Chen Xuan's tribulation, but since she is a part of Chen Xuan, it does not count as interfering with his tribulation.

"My lady, would you like to leave for a moment?"

"No need. This kind of tribulation in a small world can't harm me! Judging from this, you're facing a tribulation of the third and sixth level. You'd better deal with it carefully!"

"My wife, now that you've broken through, do you also need to undergo tribulation?"

"Are you stupid!"

"My wife, I'm asking you a serious question, why did you call me stupid!"

"I've only restored my cultivation level; it doesn't count as a breakthrough. If I were to say I've truly broken through, I'd be at the level of a half-saint!"

"..."

"excuse me."

After Chen Xuan finished speaking, he didn't waste any more time and went straight to meet the lightning that was striking Lin Rou.

As the cloud-like markings on his brow flickered, the view from the outside became hazy, making it impossible to discern the truth.

"Boom!"

A deafening clap of thunder resounded, and a bolt of lightning struck down from the sky, slamming into Lin Rou.

"Good timing! I may not be an expert in other areas, but I have plenty of experience dealing with all sorts of heavenly tribulations!"

Lin Rou remained expressionless as she headed straight for the lightning. She stretched out her slender hands, caught the lightning, and then absorbed it.

"Buzz!"

The energy of the tribulation surged within her body, gradually stabilizing her previously unconscious breakthrough and somewhat unstable cultivation.

Chen Xuan stood not far away, watching this scene, and felt deeply moved.

"I've really struck gold! From now on, I'll be living off you for the rest of my life!"

Lin Rou rolled her eyes upon hearing this.

Her fate was already inextricably linked with Chen Xuan's; they were bound together by fate, sharing both glory and ruin. She was destined to be consumed by him for the rest of her life... so be it.

"How did you absorb this? Teach me." Chen Xuan flew over to Lin Rou and asked.

Lin Rou didn't say anything, but instead gently tapped Chen Xuan's forehead with her slender fingers, directly passing on the method to him.

"Interesting, interesting, let me try!" With that, Chen Xuan stood in front of Lin Rou and began to formally face his tribulation.

Lin Rou stood not far away, watching Chen Xuan, silently refining the Heavenly Tribulation energy within her body.

"boom!"

Another bolt of lightning, the size of a bowl, struck down fiercely towards Chen Xuan.

"Collect it from me!"

Chen Xuan stretched out his palm and began to try to absorb the power of the lightning, but unfortunately, the second heavenly tribulation knocked him to the ground, and he failed.

Seeing this, Lin Rou quickly stepped forward, gently stroked Chen Xuan, and absorbed all the destructive lightning power within him.

"Hey, I don't believe it! Let's try again!"
