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

"So that's how it is..." A hint of disappointment flashed in Tang Sirui's eyes. He had originally thought that the person in front of him would be a female disciple from the sect, but he did not expect that she was his aunt, which made him feel a little disappointed.

"What's wrong? Aren't you happy to see your aunt?" Tang Yueshang noticed Tang Sirui's change in mood and asked softly.

Tang Sirui sighed and said helplessly, "Sigh, I... never mind, let my dad explain to you. I'm not in the mood right now, I want to be alone." After saying that, he turned and left, leaving Tang Yueshang looking puzzled.

Tang Yueshang looked at Tang Haotian, hoping to get an answer from him.

"Sirui has been having some troubles lately. He'll tell you about it when he's in a better mood," Tang Haotian said.

"As for Chen Xuan... he was a good teammate of mine in Monster Academy. He possesses the skills of Luck Peach Blossom and Life Peach Blossom. He is a distinguished guest of our sect. Father, you must treat him well!"

Halfway there, Tang Sirui shouted loudly from a distance, reminding Tang Haotian to "take seriously" Chen Xuan's arrival.

Tang Haotian nodded to indicate that he understood.

He had long heard of Chen Xuan's reputation and naturally understood his importance to a sect.

"Brother Chen, now that Qingwu is dead, I need to be alone. Please excuse me. It's not safe outside, but you can stay here safely." Tang Sirui left Chen Xuan with these last words, then departed dejectedly, clearly still reeling from the loss of Rouwu.

"I understand Brother Tang's feelings. After going through so much, all I want now is to find a place to cultivate properly and live my life peacefully!"

Seeing this, Tang Haotian shook his head helplessly.

"Yue Chang, since that's the case, then you should find him a place to stay. I need to go check on Si Rui to make sure he's alright." Tang Haotian's tone revealed a hint of worry.

"Yes, brother, please go ahead without worry. I'll take care of things here. This... little friend, leave it to me." Tang Yueshang replied with a smile, her eyes sparkling with confidence and curiosity.

Tang Haotian nodded, indicating his relief, and then turned to leave. He knew his sister's abilities; she could handle this...peach blossom generator.

"Come on, follow me." Tang Yueshang beckoned to Chen Xuan with her finger, then turned gracefully and walked forward.

Her steps were light and steady, each one seemingly carrying a unique rhythm.

Seeing this, Chen Xuan did not delay and quickly followed, walking alongside her.

"You don't need to peek at me. Just say what you want to say!" Tang Yueshang suddenly said as they were walking.

"Uh..." Chen Xuan looked a little embarrassed and scratched his head, saying, "I didn't expect you to find out so quickly, sister!"

Tang Yueshang frowned slightly and said with some displeasure, "Go away, you're Tang Sirui's friend, how can you call me 'sister'!"

"Oh, you're mistaken. Although Brother Tang and I are teammates, I'm actually over fifty or sixty years old. It's just that I look younger than I am due to some special reasons. That's why I dared to call you 'sister'," Chen Xuan explained earnestly.

"You...you!" Upon hearing Chen Xuan's words, Tang Yueshang's face immediately turned slightly red, and she glared at him fiercely.

It was simply because Chen Xuan was actually older than her! Yet he looked as youthful as a seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy, how could she not feel uncomfortable?

"What's wrong, sister?" Chen Xuan asked curiously.

"Don't call me 'sister'!" Tang Yueshang said coquettishly.

"Then what should I call you? I can't just call you aunt, after all, I'm of a certain age, while you look so young and beautiful, don't you think?" Chen Xuan explained with a smile.

Tang Yueshang gently stomped her foot.

Her delicate posture caught Chen Xuan's eye.

Sure enough, this woman, who is portrayed as noble and elegant, exudes a unique charm even when she is angry, making her seem... extremely adorable!

"Alright, enough of this nonsense, what question do you actually want to ask me?" Tang Yueshang tried to steer the conversation to the point.

"What I want to know is... why is there not a single trace of cultivation fluctuation on you, sister? It looks as if..."

"A mortal?" Tang Yueshang laughed self-deprecatingly.

"Ahem, you can't really call her an ordinary person. In my opinion, you're still a powerful being in the Qi Refining stage!" Chen Xuan quickly added.

Tang Yueshang's face darkened, and she subtly stepped on Chen Xuan's foot.

"I was born unable to cultivate. The fact that I was able to cultivate to the ninth level of Qi Refining is already due to the resources accumulated by the sect. As for Foundation Establishment, I don't even dare to hope for it!" Tang Yueshang said calmly.

Her strength is no secret here; there's nothing to be ashamed of.

"So...so that's how it is. Sister, you must have suffered a lot over the years, right?"

"Suffering? It's not too bad. As a direct descendant of the Tang Hammer Sect, I'm already very satisfied with these resources and treatment."

Tang Yueshang shook her head, but a hint of loneliness flashed in her eyes.

"Sister, actually, I understand you."

"You? You're so young, yet you've already reached the Nascent Soul stage. You even understand me?"

"There was a time when my spiritual root was destroyed, and I became a cripple who could not cultivate," Chen Xuan said calmly.

"You... alright, alright, let's not talk about this anymore. Your place is just ahead." Tang Yueshang paused for a moment, then quickly changed the subject and walked ahead.

Elegant as she is, she wouldn't reopen old wounds.

Chen Xuan, standing behind her, stared at Tang Yueshang's back, a strange sense of goodwill welling up inside him.

Her figure is like a blooming flower, exuding a captivating fragrance that inspires longing.

Tang Yueshang seemed to notice the gazes behind her, but didn't seem to care. She continued walking, leading Chen Xuan to an exquisite little building. The building was surrounded by a lush garden, a tranquil and pleasant environment.

"From now on, this will be your residence, little... fellow. It has everything you need; feel free to use it. If you need anything, you can come to me anytime," Tang Yueshang said with a smile, her eyes filled with tenderness.

Chen Xuan nodded gratefully and then stepped into the small building.

"Sister, I'm very satisfied with this place."
