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

"This servant greets the master."

Without hesitation, Hua Mengjie knelt down in the center of the spacious and bright living room. Her delicate body trembled slightly, and her beautiful eyes stared directly at Chen Xuan in front of her without any attempt to hide.

Upon seeing this, Chen Xuan's lips curled into a slight smile. He then feigned surprise and asked, "Huh? Why are you back again? Isn't the outside world nice?"

Upon hearing this, Hua Mengjie blushed instantly, stammering as if she wanted to explain something, but ultimately found herself speechless and could only lower her head in shame.

At this moment, Chen Xuan spread his hands helplessly and said, "Mengjie, now that you're gone, I can't be without a maid to take care of my daily life, so I have no choice but to hire another one. As a result, I really can't use you anymore."

"Ah! No... Master... You... You can't!" Upon hearing these words, Hua Mengjie was as if struck by five thunderbolts at the same time, and she stood there frozen in shock.

Immediately afterwards, an indescribable fear and tension surged into her heart. At that moment, only one thought occupied Hua Mengjie's mind:

Her unique position is about to be replaced!

Thinking of this, her already pale face turned even paler, and her body began to tremble uncontrollably.

"Master, Master, you can't do this! It's all my fault, all my fault! Please forgive me, please take me back, please!" Hua Mengjie cried incoherently as she crawled towards Chen Xuan on her knees.

When she finally reached Chen Xuan, she hugged his leg tightly, and tears streamed down her face like a burst dam, soaking a large area of ​​Chen Xuan's trouser leg.

"Well, there's nothing I can do. Since you didn't agree back then, I had to find someone else. Anyway, you know I don't need the money."

"No, no way! In this entire Flying Immortal Sect, who is prettier than me? No way!"

"Hey! Didn't you always value your so-called pride more than anything back then? You even swore you'd never have anything to do with me again, but now... Look, there are outsiders watching!"

Chen Xuan's lips curled up slightly, revealing a playful smile, and his gaze slowly turned to Ji Youruo, who was standing at the door of his room.

Hua Mengjie followed Chen Xuan's gaze and saw Ji Youruo standing there quietly, her beautiful eyes fixed on them, her face showing a panicked expression, as if she was afraid that he would take her job.

"Ah? Ji, Ji Youruo!" Hua Mengjie exclaimed in surprise. In an instant, she felt a rush of heat to her head, and her face turned as red as a ripe apple. She was so ashamed that she wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl into.

Anyone is fine, but it absolutely cannot be my lifelong nemesis and defeated opponent, Ji Youruo!

"Oh ho, you two know each other?"

"I..." Hua Mengjie stammered, her hands nervously twisting together, her heart filled with panic.

However, faced with the urgent need for work, she could no longer care about the opinions of others. She gritted her teeth and said, "Sir, I...please let me stay. You know me, I'm your most obedient one. And that woman, she...she can't do anything!"

Her voice trembled slightly, pleading, and her eyes began to redden. A feeling of regret lingered in her heart.

"So... you've thought it through? Are you capable of doing this job well?" Chen Xuan narrowed his eyes slightly, a hint of something deeper in his gaze, and his tone was also quite meaningful.

"Yes, yes, I'll do anything as long as you let me stay." Hua Mengjie looked anxious and earnest, her hands unconsciously gripping the hem of her clothes tightly, as if she were afraid of losing this opportunity.

"By the way, you won't just quit like last time, will you? I'm getting a little scared of having a temporary worker like you. Maybe I should choose Ji Youruo instead. She's just a prisoner, unlike you, who has all that ridiculous dignity. Besides, if nothing unexpected happens, she can stay with me for life. Can you?"

"I……"

"Sigh, it seems you're not sincere this time. I think we should just forget about your work. There's no need for us to torture each other, is there?"

"No, no! I, I'm willing! I can do this job, I can!"

"Do you think I will believe you?"

"I... I'm telling the truth!"

"Then do you dare to draw up a contract?"

“I…of course I can! Please grant me the contract, sir!” Hua Mengjie gritted her teeth, reached out and asked Chen Xuan for a copy of the Heavenly Dao Contract, thus establishing a permanent contractual relationship with Chen Xuan.

As for the contents of the contract, that's up to your imagination.

"Now, sir, do you believe me now?"

"Is that so? Then I'll walk into the house from here, and you can follow behind me ( )?" Chen Xuan's lips curled into a playful smile.

"Ah?! Master, you..." Hua Mengjie's eyes widened instantly, her face filled with astonishment, clearly shocked by Chen Xuan's words. She never expected Chen Xuan to make such a request.

However, Chen Xuan didn't give her any time to react. He turned around and strode towards the door. Every step he took was steady and powerful, as if victory was assured.

Watching Chen Xuan's retreating figure, Hua Mengjie was caught in a deep dilemma.

"What should I do? If I want to stay, do I really have to do what he says? But... this is too humiliating! Sigh! It's all my own fault. I shouldn't have said such heartless words so rashly. Now I'm in a terrible situation, worse off than when I was a slave."

Hua Mengjie was filled with regret, but she really didn't want to miss this opportunity to stay. After a fierce internal struggle, she finally gritted her teeth and ( ).

(Oh dear, I don't know what happened, it suddenly disappeared here!) (Try double-clicking) (Just kidding)

"Alright, there's nothing for you to do here. Go get back to work," Chen Xuan said calmly and unhurriedly.

As soon as he finished speaking, he turned and walked towards the study, his steps steady and composed.

"Thank you... thank you, sir." Hua Mengjie nodded slightly and replied softly. At this moment, her feelings were extremely complicated and indescribable. Gratitude and fear were intertwined, making her heart feel like a tangled mess.

Tears welled up in her eyes, but she held them back from falling.
