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

"Impressive, my dear nephew!"

"Oh, not at all, it's all thanks to Si Rui's timely rescue. Otherwise, I'd probably be watering flowers by those Hehuan Sect people by now!" Chen Xuan flattered.

"Hey, as your teammates, it's only natural for him to save you. There's no need for you to be so formal, my dear nephew!" Tang Haotian said solemnly.

"That's...okay!"

"By the way, my dear nephew, what do you think of my Tang Hammer Sect?"

"Great! Tang Hammer Sect is wonderful! Uncle Tang, you don't know me. It's impossible for me to work for other people, and I don't know how to do business. Only by staying in Tang Hammer Sect can I make a living!"

"Really?" Tang Haotian asked uncertainly.

He only left Chen Xuan in the sect to farm gold coins, and basically didn't care about the rest.

Chen Xuan glanced at Tang Yueshang.

"Of course it's true! You wouldn't believe it, ever since I came to Tang Hammer Sect, it feels like coming home. My home... let's not even talk about it! In the detention center... cough cough, the feeling at Tang Hammer Sect is much better than at home! Everyone here is so talented, and they all speak so nicely. I love it here!"

After hearing what Chen Xuan said, Tang Yueshang unconsciously touched her lower abdomen.

"Home? He... really approves of us, baby!"

"I see, hahaha, excellent, excellent!" Tang Haotian laughed heartily after hearing what Chen Xuan said.

But then he changed the subject, his gaze sharp, his brows furrowed, looking at Tang Yueshang with displeasure.

"But what's going on with you two? It's only been three months since we last saw each other, and you've already developed a close, intimate relationship? Chen Xuan, you're really something. My sister was so arrogant and looked down on everyone when she couldn't cultivate, but now not only can she cultivate, she's even been...!"

Tang Yueshang was startled by Tang Haotian's tone and quickly explained, "Big brother, you've misunderstood. Between Chen Xuan and me, it's just...we're just..."

"You're not friends, are you?" Tang Haotian interrupted Tang Yueshang.

"You're the girl I watched grow up, do you think I don't know your temper? Just now, that kid Chen Xuan was practically right in your face, and you acted like you didn't even notice, still laughing and joking with him. Do you really think I don't know what you used to be like?"

"Ahem, what was Sister Yuechang like before?" Chen Xuan suddenly interjected, seemingly out of the blue.

"Stop trying to get on my good side! This is one thing, and now you need to be serious!" Tang Haotian's tone turned cold.

Looking at Tang Haotian's stern expression, Tang Yueshang couldn't help but feel a sense of tension and unease.

"Big brother, don't be angry, it's all..." She cautiously stepped forward, trying to explain the situation to Tang Haotian. However, before she could finish speaking, Tang Haotian interrupted her again.

"How can I not be angry? This is such a big deal!" Tang Haotian's voice was filled with obvious anger.

"Let me tell you, our Tang Hammer Sect is not one of those small sects. We will never be careless when it comes to our disciples' feelings! As the young lady of the sect, it's one thing for you not to set a good example, but you're even leading the way in breaking the rules!" Tang Haotian's tone became increasingly stern.

Tang Yueshang was so frightened by Tang Haotian's reprimand that she dared not look up. She lowered her head, and tears kept sliding down her cheeks, like crystal-clear little pearls.

Seeing Tang Yueshang so heartbroken, Chen Xuan stopped being cheeky and quickly went forward to hug her, gently stroking her back and whispering words of comfort.

He then took a deep breath and looked firmly at Tang Haotian:

"Uncle Tang... cough cough, elder brother! I understand. Since my relationship with Yuechang has reached this point, I am willing to take on the responsibilities I should bear."

From today onward, I will strive to cultivate myself stronger, protect Sister Yuechang, and ensure she suffers no harm. I will give her the best wedding and the best life!

"That's enough?! She's the eldest daughter of my Tang Hammer Sect! Just because of a promise like this, you can marry her?"

"So, brother, what you mean is...?"

"Ahem, Yue Chang is a direct descendant of the Tang family. Our clan rules clearly state that women of our direct descendants are not allowed to marry outside the family and must marry into the family!"

Tang Yueshang looked puzzled after hearing this.

How could she not know that her Tang family had such a clan rule? She was about to explain, but then she realized that she couldn't speak.

Chen Xuan looked at the woman sobbing in his arms, a conflicted expression on his face. He had to stay calm at this moment and couldn't afford to burst out laughing.

"A live-in son-in-law? I'm willing! I'm willing to do anything for Sister Yuechang!"

In the end, Chen Xuan gritted his teeth and agreed to the son-in-law's request.

Tang Haotian's anger subsided slightly, but he still warned, "Chen Xuan, remember your promise. My sister isn't someone you can get so easily. If you dare to betray her, I will not let you off lightly!"

Chen Xuan nodded earnestly: "I understand, brother. Please rest assured, I will protect Sister Yuechang with my life and make her live a happy life."

"I think you should just give up on being a support! Just stay obediently in my Tang Hammer Sect, and we'll protect you and Yue Chang for life!"

"Yes, I will listen to you, elder brother."

"Hmm." Tang Haotian clapped his hands and laughed.
