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

"Then... what should we do next? What about your older brother..." Chu Yinyao's tone was tinged with anxiety and worry, her gaze fixed on Chen Xuan in front of her, as if she were trying to find an answer.

"Sister-in-law, don't worry. My elder brother is very strong, and I believe he can handle any difficulty! However, he has gone deep into the demon realm this time, and it will probably take him quite a while to return."

"That's...okay!"

"As for me, I've just broken through to the Integration stage and need to undergo a tribulation. Right now, I'm only in my small world, so the tribulation won't appear yet. But as soon as I step outside, the tribulation will immediately begin. So, sister-in-law, you should wait a little longer!"

Chen Xuan's voice was calm and firm, revealing a sense of confidence and determination.

"You, with your combined cultivation level, are you about to undergo tribulation?" Chu Yinyao was somewhat surprised by this.

"That's right, I don't know what's going on either, but every time I break through, I face a tribulation of lightning."

"This, this is impossible! Generally speaking, lightning tribulations only occur when one reaches the Tribulation Transcending stage. How could this be possible!" Chu Yinyao was still somewhat skeptical.

"Well, since you don't believe me, why don't we have a contest?"

"You're already at the Integration stage, while I, though at the Mahayana stage, have only barely recovered to the Void Refinement stage..."

Chu Yinyao was somewhat insecure, mainly because she was wary of Lin Rou and didn't know what Chen Xuan's background was.

"A contest should naturally be between people of equal cultivation levels. I'll just suppress my cultivation to the Void Refinement stage! Besides, sister-in-law, you are now my immortal soul, an immortal being, so don't worry!" As Chen Xuan spoke, his aura shifted from the Tribulation Transcending stage to the Void Refinement stage.

"Since you've said so, then I'll test your skills!" Seeing this, Chu Yinyao stopped refusing and assumed a fighting stance.

The two stood face to face, the atmosphere gradually becoming tense. Chen Xuan smiled and waved to Chu Yinyao, signaling her to make the first move.

Chu Yinyao didn't stand on ceremony. With a light wave of her hand, a burst of emerald green light surged from her body, instantly condensing into a bewitching plant at her fingertips.

This plant is shaped like a butterfly in flight, its petals shimmering brilliantly in the sunlight, giving it a mysterious and alluring feel.

"Netherworld Butterfly, go!"

Chu Yinyao gave a soft shout, and the Netherworld Butterfly plant transformed into a green light, rushing towards Chen Xuan. Chen Xuan smiled slightly, conjuring a blazing fire sword in his hand to meet the Netherworld Butterfly.

However, Chu Yinyao's Netherworld Butterfly did not directly confront the Fire Sword. Instead, it nimbly spun in the air, dodging the Fire Sword's attack. The next moment, the Netherworld Butterfly suddenly split into countless smaller butterflies, like butterflies fluttering in the sky, surrounding Chen Xuan completely.

Chen Xuan's eyes narrowed slightly; Chu Yinyao's move was indeed quite formidable. Those Netherworld Butterflies appeared beautiful and harmless, but each one contained immense energy; once struck, it would inflict tremendous damage.

"Sister-in-law, your move is indeed impressive, but do you think you can do anything to me like this?" Chen Xuan's lips curled into a confident smile, and the spiritual energy within his body surged wildly.

Then Chen Xuan's eyes narrowed, and the fire sword in his hand instantly transformed into a blazing fire dragon. The fire dragon tumbled in the air, roaring and forcing the surrounding Netherworld Butterflies to scatter and flee.

Chu Yinyao's eyes flashed with surprise upon seeing this. She hadn't expected Chen Xuan to break her Netherworld Butterfly spell so easily. However, she didn't give up and instead unleashed an even more powerful spell.

Chu Yinyao's eyes suddenly became incredibly alluring, her pupils shimmering with emerald green light. As her pupils changed, a rich life force emanated from her body, instantly enveloping the entire space.

In the next instant, a large number of eerie silver-blue plants appeared in the space, all wrapping around Chen Xuan.

"Wow, they even have colored contact lenses! I've really struck gold!" Chen Xuan muttered.

Without hesitation, he quickly formed hand seals, and flames surged from his fingertips, forming a huge vortex of fire that swept towards Chu Yinyao.

Chu Yinyao's eyes gleamed with a bewitching light as she watched Chen Xuan's tactic of trading injuries for injuries, and a confident smile curled at the corners of her lips.

Her hands moved swiftly in the air, and streams of emerald light flowed from her fingertips, merging with the plants that were about to entwine Chen Xuan, forming emerald green leaves.

The leaves danced in the air like green snowflakes, decorating the entire space like a fairyland.

Chen Xuan looked at the fluttering leaves, a look of vigilance on his face.

He was not careless. His spiritual energy surged wildly, forming a spiritual energy shield for himself, and he pushed the vortex of flames in his hand toward Chu Yinyao.

However, as the flames approached Chu Yinyao, they were blocked by the fluttering leaves. The leaves collided with the flames, producing a series of crisp sounds, like a beautiful symphony.

"Wow, sister-in-law, you're amazing! You managed to block my flames with plants. I'm truly impressed!"

"Brother Chen Xuan, if this is all you've got, you're probably no match for me!"

Chu Yinyao's eyes gleamed with a bewitching light. Her hands danced in the air, and streaks of emerald green light emerged from her fingertips like ribbons, heading straight for Chen Xuan as if to bind him tightly.

"If we're going to get entangled, I think we should change the battlefield!" Chen Xuan smiled slightly, picked up his fire sword and cut the vines, then used his teleportation ability to instantly appear in front of Chu Yinyao.

Seeing this, Chu Yinyao dared not be negligent and used a protective spell. The green light enveloped her body, making her look like a fairy, and people couldn't help but want to be intoxicated by it.

Chen Xuan, carrying his fire sword, weaved through the green light, his gaze fixed on Chu Yinyao. He seemed to be able to feel the alluring aura emanating from her, and his heart began to race.

Chu Yinyao felt Chen Xuan's gaze and a strange feeling rose in her heart. A blush rose on her face, but she quickly suppressed the emotion and continued to concentrate on using the vines for self-defense.

The battle continued, but a subtle shift had occurred in their minds. Their gazes met in mid-air, as if sparks were about to fly.

Chu Yinyao's green light intertwined with Chen Xuan's fire sword, creating a beautiful scene.

However, in this brief exchange, Chu Yinyao and Chen Xuan had closed the distance to the point where they could almost touch. Their eyes met in the air, and the sound of their heartbeats could be clearly heard.
