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

A week has passed in the blink of an eye.

During this time, Chen Xuan has remained in the small courtyard and his little world, without ever stepping out.

Tang Yueshang was the same. Since escaping from Chen Xuan's courtyard last time, she had not appeared again. It was unknown whether she was intentionally avoiding Chen Xuan or for other reasons.

On that very day, Tang Sirui and Tang Haotian came to visit together.

"Brother Chen, my father has decided to take me to the legendary Killing City for training. Would you be willing to go with me?"

"Slaughter City? That name sounds terrifying. Is it very dangerous there? If it's too dangerous, I'd better stay in Tang Hammer Sect."

Upon hearing this, a hint of disdain flashed in Tang Sirui's eyes.

He really is a good-for-nothing. Just because he suffered some setbacks, he doesn't even dare to accept the opportunity to improve himself.

"Brother Chen, with your mindset, you will never achieve anything in the world of cultivation."

“That’s right, Xiao Chen. You should know that in this world, you can’t become a true strong person without experiencing setbacks and hardships,” Tang Haotian said, expressing his deep disappointment with Chen Xuan’s choice.

“Brother Chen, although Slaughter City is dangerous, it is an excellent place for training. As long as you can survive there, you will definitely gain something,” Tang Sirui continued to persuade him.

“My mind is made up, Brother Tang. You wouldn’t understand unless you experienced the humiliation I suffered at the Hehuan Sect. I appreciate your good intentions, but I will not consider putting myself in such a dangerous situation.”

"Brother Chen, I understand your concerns. Are you afraid that the Killing City is too dangerous and you won't be able to survive there?"

"Actually, you don't need to worry about that at all. As long as you have enough strength, you will definitely be able to survive in Killing City."

"..."

Listen to yourself, is this even human language? Or are you saying you can't understand human language?

"No need, my mind is made up."

"In that case, Xiao Chen, you can stay in my sect. Si Rui and I will head over first."

"Okay, this is today's peach blossom luck. Please be careful when you're out and about!"

"..."

After accepting the peach blossoms, Tang Sirui and Tang Haotian left without looking back.

If I stay any longer, I'm afraid I won't be able to resist attacking Chen Xuan!

After watching the two leave, Chen Xuan prepared his appearance and then headed towards the palace where Tang Yueshang lived.

Tang Sirui came back from drinking blood there to ask this person for advice on matters of temperament, so I could use that as a convenient excuse...

"I am Sister Yuechang's younger brother. Please go to the palace to inform her!" Chen Xuan said politely to the maid as he arrived at the door.

Tang Yueshang herself had no cultivation, so she was still protected by others within the sect.

"Miss doesn't have a younger brother, so please don't talk nonsense!" the maid said coldly.

"Ahem, then tell Sister Yuechang that Chen Xuan has come to visit!"

The maid glanced at Chen Xuan, but ultimately went to report. However, she quickly returned.

"Miss said she won't see you, young master, please leave," the maid at the door said coldly.

"Um, I didn't explain clearly just now. Go tell Sister Yueshang that I came here specifically to deliver the Peach Blossom of Life to her, so I must see her and hand it to her personally," Chen Xuan said earnestly.

"Why are you so..." The maid was getting impatient and wanted to refuse, but she swallowed the words back.

"Never mind! Let him in!" Just then, Tang Yueshang's voice came from inside the palace.

Upon hearing this, Chen Xuan's lips curled up slightly, and he raised an eyebrow.

Haha, so this is what they call refusing to see me? You even followed me out, wanting to see my attitude?

The maid had no choice but to open the door and let Chen Xuan in.

As soon as he entered the palace, Chen Xuan immediately smelled a faint fragrance, the unique scent of Tang Yueshang. He couldn't help but take a deep breath.

"What are you doing here?" Tang Yueshang glanced at him, then turned her head away, pretending not to care.

Chen Xuan turned around and saw Tang Yueshang wearing an elegant long dress, with beautiful features and a refined demeanor.

"I'm here to deliver a life-giving peach blossom to my sister, and by the way..."

"What else?"

"I came to talk to you while I was at it."

"I have nothing to talk to you about. Also, I've already told you, don't call me 'sister,' I don't know you!" Tang Yueshang said expressionlessly, her eyes cold, seemingly full of hostility towards Chen Xuan.

However, Chen Xuan was neither angry nor backed down because of this. Instead, he smiled and approached Tang Yueshang, holding a delicate and vibrant peach blossom in his hand, and offered it to her: "Peach blossom of life, for you."

Even though Tang Yueshang was a mortal, and her facial expression remained unchanged, the slightly accelerated heartbeat in her body could not escape Chen Xuan's ears.

Tang Yueshang was slightly taken aback, looking at Chen Xuan with some surprise. She had already turned him away twice; as a promising young cultivator, he should at least be angry, if not angry. Why was he acting like this now…?

But she still tried her best to remain calm and accepted the peach blossom.

Looking at the vibrant, glistening petals, a warmth flickered in her heart. Though outwardly cold, deep down she wasn't as heartless as she appeared.

In fact, Tang Yueshang did not truly dislike Chen Xuan; she simply chose to keep her distance because she did not know how to interact with him.

"What do you want to talk to me about?" Tang Yueshang broke the silence, her tone still indifferent.

Chen Xuan gazed into Tang Yueshang's eyes and said sincerely:

"Sister Yuechang, your temperament is the most outstanding and elegant I have ever met. Therefore, I really long to have your temperament!"

"……so what?"

"So, I'd like to ask Sister Yuechang for advice on how to improve my temperament," Chen Xuan said with a smile.

"Improve your temperament? Ask me for advice?" Tang Yueshang looked at Chen Xuan with some doubt.

"Yes, Sister Yuechang, you don't know, from the first moment I saw you, I was deeply captivated by your aura, so... please teach me!"

Tang Yueshang remained silent for a moment, feeling a sense of relief but also a slight disappointment.

She looked into Chen Xuan's eyes, seemingly deep in thought. Finally, she said, "Alright, seeing how sincere you are, I'll tell you some methods."

"Really? Thank you, Sister Yuechang!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Xuan was overjoyed and rushed to Tang Yueshang's side, picking up the elegant beauty and spinning her around.

"Boom boom boom!"

Tang Yueshang's heart was pounding; this was the first time in her life she had ever been in such close contact with a man.
