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

"You...you are..." Chu Yinyao stared wide-eyed at Chen Xuan, her eyes filled with shock and disbelief.

Chen Xuan's expression remained calm, but a wicked smile crooked his lips.

"That child possesses the unique qualities and potential of your family. If he receives proper upbringing, he will surely become an outstanding individual in the future."

And you, as his mother and the only one in your family, should think about the future of your family, give him a better environment and opportunities, and ensure the continuation of your family line.

Chu Yinyao's face turned as pale as paper, her hands clenched into fists, her nails digging deep into her palms.

Large tears slid down her cheeks.

She realized that her heart seemed to have changed.

"No, it shouldn't be like this. Chen Xuan is an unparalleled bully. He couldn't possibly be..."

Chu Yinyao frantically warned herself in her heart not to fall for Chen Xuan's tricks.

"As for raising the children, I will raise them myself. I will treat all my bloodline members equally."

'Except for Chen Ping'an,' Chen Xuan added to himself.

This is his only offspring who cannot cultivate normally, so it is understandable that he would show some favoritism.

“Now…” Chen Xuan picked up the person in his arms.

"Do you still want him to have the surname Chen? If he does, it doesn't matter. We can just pick one of the remaining children to take your surname."

Chu Yinyao looked up, her face streaked with tears.

"Chen Xuan, you're a complete scoundrel! You not only want my body, but you also want to steal my heart..."

"That's natural," Chen Xuan said calmly.

"We've been together for so long, don't you understand what kind of person I am? I've said it before, everything you have will be mine!"

"Waaaaah!! You...you just wanted to make me cry! Are you satisfied now?!"

"Then, has your heart belonged to me?" Chen Xuan asked, leaning forward.

"No, no!" Chu Yinyao's face flushed, and she turned her head to the side, not daring to look Chen Xuan in the eye.

"Very well, since your heart doesn't belong to me, then we..."

"So what?" Chu Yinyao's heart tightened.

"It's nothing, just taking you to visit someone!" Chen Xuan gently reached out and wiped away the tears on the elegant and beautiful Gui's face.

"Visiting someone? Who is it?"

Chen Xuan smiled slightly, then slowly got up, took off Chu Yinyao's shoes and socks, and led her to the next room, where Tang Haotian, who had consumed the Life Peach Blossom, was meditating and cultivating.

Despite his Mahayana stage cultivation, Chen Xuan couldn't possibly outmaneuver him. His cultivation was utterly insignificant compared to Lin Rou's. She could easily incapacitate Tang Haotian with a mere concoction of biological toxins, rendering him powerless—it was all too simple.

……

Tang Haotian woke up from his cultivation and looked at the room in front of him, which hadn't been moved but still felt a little strange. He shook his head.

"Perhaps I'm overthinking it. I didn't expect that this cultivation would go so far as to enter a deep cultivation phase. While there are benefits, I'm not very safe!"

He murmured to himself, glancing at the unharmed plants beside him, and then breathed a sigh of relief.

"I wanted to hide; no one would know where I was. I was overthinking it. I just don't know how long this cultivation has lasted."

With that, Tang Haotian got up and went to the next room. Seeing Chen Xuan tied up, he asked, "What time is it now? How long have I been cultivating?"

"When? A whole month has passed! What do you mean, 'when'? You're really getting senile. You don't even know how much time has passed!"

"A month?!" Tang Haotian exclaimed in surprise.

"No, I have to go check on that kid Si Rui, see if he's grasped the domain yet..." With that, he ignored Chen Xuan's sarcasm and disappeared before his eyes.

"My upgraded physique is indeed impressive. After ten months of frantic cultivation in the small world, coupled with the accumulation of resources, I have now reached the eighth level of the Fusion Realm!"

"It must be because I focused on Chu Yinyao's cultivation that I absorbed the most and fastest fortune from Tang Haotian. In just one month, I absorbed almost all of it. So, it's time to... give it a try?"

Chen Xuan muttered to himself, "In any case, I have enough leverage. Even if I want to get out unscathed, it shouldn't be a big problem."

He murmured softly, and the ropes that had been binding his body suddenly loosened, as if controlled by an invisible force.

Then, he lightly shook the dust off his clothes and walked towards Tang Haotian's room. When he entered the room, his gaze fell on the strange plant, and he reached out and picked it up.

"Shrink the Earth to an Inch!" With a soft shout from Chen Xuan, a mysterious light surged from beneath his feet, instantly enveloping his body. Then, his figure vanished like a ghost.

The next moment, Chen Xuan appeared outside Slaughter City, in a gloomy and terrifying forest. The trees were towering, casting deep shadows, creating a sense of oppression and fear. Chen Xuan stood quietly in the forest, waiting for Tang Haotian to come to him.
