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

"I...I didn't actually intend to run you over. Yes, it was you who pulled me down, so I wanted the guards to beat you up!"

"You're all at the Foundation Establishment stage, so even if you can't beat them, you can run away. You'll definitely be fine!" Zhou Jingyi began to defend herself.

Chen Xuan didn't speak, just stared at her, then grabbed the girl and pulled her into his arms, giving her a quick kiss.

Zhou Jingyi was stunned.

He... wasn't he uninterested in me? Why has he suddenly changed his mind?! Waaaaah, we're in the middle of nowhere, he's not going to eat me up, is he?! Why am I so miserable?!

"Alright, alright, consider this your compensation to me!"

"You...! I can give you money, but you can't do this!" The girl was in his arms, her face flushed.

Chen Xuan released the girl, remaining calm and ignoring her.

Soon, a group of people emerged from the ruins one after another, but there was still no trace of Zhao Tianming.

Finally, after waiting for a long time, the sensing talisman in Zhou Jingyi's hand reacted.

Before she could even look for Zhao Tianming, she saw a young man rushing towards them.

This young man had an ordinary appearance, the kind that you'd easily lose in a crowd, but his unwavering spirit gave people a sense of reliability.

“Zhou Jingyi?! How come you have my father’s talisman?” Zhao Tianming asked in confusion.

"Ding, congratulations host for discovering the chosen one of destiny. Mission complete. Reward: five years of cultivation."

Do you have any information about him?

"Unfolding..."

A person of destiny: Zhao Tianming

Cultivation level: Qi Refining Ninth Level

Physical condition: None

Cultivation Technique: Wuji Divine Skill (Incomplete)

Skills: Fiery Sword Technique (Fragment), Dragon Soaring and Tiger Leaping (Fragment), Underworld and Azure Heaven (Fragment)

Fate Value: (Extremely dangerous, please act with caution, host)

Items: A remnant soul from a jade pendant around the neck, ice silkworm silk, a nine-leaf lingzhi mushroom, and several spirit stones...

Current status: Desperately searching for medicinal herbs to repair the soul.

"Repairing the soul... It seems he's following the 'Don't underestimate a young man' template!" Chen Xuan pondered.

Upon hearing Zhao Tianming's question, Zhou Jingyi glanced at him dismissively and said:

"How did your father's talisman end up in my hands? Isn't the answer obvious?"

"What did you do?"

"It's nothing."

She paused, then continued sarcastically, "My sister has already decided to break off the engagement with you. A piece of trash like you is not good enough for her. I advise you to give up as soon as possible and stop dreaming of eating swan meat."

Zhou Jingyi's tone was full of contempt and sarcasm, showing no regard for Zhao Tianming whatsoever.

"Zhou Jingyi, how dare your Zhou family insult me ​​like this!" Zhao Tianming was furious, his eyes almost spitting fire.

"Insult you? I'm just stating the facts." Zhou Jingyi laughed nonchalantly. "Not only do you not reflect on your own incompetence, but you also have the nerve to come here and question me. Let me tell you, if you hadn't gone out to gain experience a few days ago, we would have already called off the engagement. Now we're just waiting for you, the person directly involved, to show up!"

Zhao Tianming's face was ashen, his fists clenched so tightly that his nails dug deep into his flesh. He glared hatefully at Zhou Jingyi, secretly vowing that one day he would make those who looked down on him regret it.

"Fine, fine, we'll see!" Zhao Tianming laughed angrily, threw down a harsh remark, and turned to leave.

"You came all this way just to say these few words? I thought there was something more between you two!" Chen Xuan complained, his tone tinged with regret.

Zhou Jingyi: "..."

"Yeah! What's wrong with me... How did I become so bored?" She was also secretly puzzled by her own behavior, as if she had just acted on impulse and run out without caring about anything.

Chen Xuan then realized what was happening.

Those with good fortune need to be mocked, so here you are. But he was too lazy to explain to this silly girl; she wouldn't understand anyway, and it would only burn out the CPU.

Just as the two were about to leave, a cry that sounded like a phoenix's cry suddenly came from the sky. When they turned around, they saw the golden-winged spirit beast charging towards them.

Chen Xuan's expression changed. He picked up the girl beside him, took out a teleportation talisman, and was about to run away when he heard a beautiful female voice.

"Zhou Jingyi? Why aren't you cultivating properly in the palace? What are you doing here?"

The golden-winged spirit beast stopped, and a beautiful woman jumped off its back.

The woman was beautiful and had an ethereal air about her, like a fairy descended from heaven. She wore a snow-white long dress with a gold and jade belt around her waist, which accentuated her graceful figure.

Her expression was haughty and aloof, like a blooming snow lotus, otherworldly and ethereal. Her gaze held a sharp edge, as if she looked down upon all living beings, disdainful of everything around her.

Her every move exuded an air of nobility; her beauty and pride were like a rose with thorns, inspiring awe and reverence.

"Yes, it's Fairy Lengyue! Sect Master Lin Yunhan!"

"My God, how could she be here? What could be in these ruins...?"

Lin Yunhan paid no attention to the crowd, but walked closer to the two of them step by step, her steps as light as a fairy on water.

Her gaze swept over the crowd, finally landing on Chen Xuan. A hint of surprise flashed in her eyes, but she quickly regained her composure.

Her gaze then fell on Zhou Jingyi, and she frowned slightly.

"Why aren't you cultivating properly? What are you doing here?"

"Master Yunhan, I, I came here..."

"I'm not your master, I'm just your sister's master!" Lin Yunhan frowned.

"Hehe, it's the same! My sister's master is also my master!" Zhou Jingyi ran over and hugged Lin Yunhan's arm.

"Sigh, I really can't do anything with you. Since I've run into you, I might as well give you a ride and send you back," Lin Yunhan said helplessly.

Zhou Jingyi turned around and looked at Chen Xuan.

Chen Xuan immediately felt as if he were facing a formidable enemy, ready to enter the secret realm to hide at any moment.

“He…he’s my friend. Why don’t you bring him to the capital too, Master?” Zhou Jingyi’s eyes darted around as she pointed at Chen Xuan.

"Very well, your cultivation has been severely damaged, so you came here to seek opportunities, right? But unfortunately, you're too late." Lin Yunhan said calmly.

"Does the senior know the junior?"

“I have a little connection with Han Wanqing, you don’t need to overthink it,” Lin Yunhan said.

Although she was very curious as to why that strange woman Han Wanqing would release her precious disciple alone, she did not ask too many questions. Too many things had happened during her trip to the ruins, especially the amazing young man.

"Alright, then this junior will respectfully comply."

P.S.: Is it better for the remnant soul to be male or female?
