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

Finally, Hua Mengjie took a deep breath, gently wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes with her sleeve, and then quickly went into her room.

She opened the wardrobe and selected an exquisite French maid's outfit. The outfit had a pristine white collar and cuffs, and the hem was adorned with delicate lace. Hua Mengjie skillfully put it on and tidied her appearance in front of the mirror.

Although she had never seen such strange clothing before, she was not entirely unaware of the master's intentions.

When Hua Mengjie returned to the living room, she saw the familiar furniture and tableware, and a strange emotion welled up in her heart.

These items were like long-lost friends, quietly waiting for her return.

She gently picked up the rag and began to carefully wipe each piece of furniture; then she carefully picked up the tableware, washed them one by one, and arranged them neatly. Her focused and earnest expression made it seem as if this was not just a job, but a way of remembering and cherishing the past.

Chen Xuan, meanwhile, was in his study eating his second dish of fine wine. As for whether he would fight with the food? Just kidding, the Lesser Chaotic Ribbon is incredibly powerful!

Moreover, he is somewhat of a villain. These days he has been busy doing good deeds and has done too many things that righteous people would do, such as helping his teacher and mistress get married, encouraging Ye Xingchen, killing Tang Haotian, the human traitor who colluded with the demon race, and successfully subduing the great demon Chu Yinyao. There are just too many things he has done.

……

"Ding! Congratulations to the host for successfully joining forces with the villain of destiny, Hua Mengjie. The plot has undergone a major change. Rewards: 50000 Destiny Points, 1 Returning Origin Immortal Herb, 1 Essence of the Five Elements, 1 Spirit Realm Stone, 1 Meteorite Iron from Outer Space, 1 Immortal Stone, 1 Spiritual Qi Liquid, 1 Spiritual Treasure Magic Weapon, 1 Golden Jade Robe, and 50 chances to draw a prize."

Just as Chen Xuan was about to examine these valuable items, the system's voice sounded again:

"Ding! Congratulations to the host for successfully joining forces with the heroine Ji Youruo! Rewards: 100000 Destiny Points, 1 Nine Heavens Profound Iron, 1 Profound Heaven Treasure Box, 1 Octagonal Exquisite Pagoda, 1 Dragon Scale Armor, 1 Heavenly Thunder Pearl, 1 Nine Yang True Fire, 1 Heavenly Mirror, 1 Spirit Rhinoceros Sword, 1 Exquisite Pearl, 1 Golden Thread Robe, and 100 lottery draws!"

"Good! Good, good! You Ruo, you are truly my lucky star!" Chen Xuan said, happily hugging Ji You Ruo.

But Ji Youruo was not happy at this moment, because her worldview had completely collapsed at this instant.

Even if a group of Mahayana cultivators surrounded her and attacked her, or if she was captured, she was never afraid.

Because she always has a way to take everyone down with her.

She was certain that before meeting Chen Xuan, she had never been touched by a man, and she had no intention of having any contact with men in the future.

But once she was in Chen Xuan's hands, she realized that she was a complete greenhorn.

As a result, Chen Xuan got a great deal.

Chen Xuan didn't care about the silent "witch" Ji Youruo. Sometimes, feelings need time to develop. As someone once said, feelings grow over time.

"Alright, Youruo, be good and stay here quietly. I'll be back in a bit... cough cough, I'll be back in a bit!"

As Chen Xuan spoke, he used the Lesser Chaos Ribbon again to bind Ji Youruo, and then walked out of the study.

There was no other way; he had only helped Ji Youruo once, yet her spiritual energy had become incredibly abundant. To prevent this woman from causing trouble, it was better to be on the safe side.

Chen Xuan slowly walked outside and immediately spotted Hua Mengjie's busy yet charming figure. She was standing in front of the kitchen counter, intently preparing dinner.

Well, it's reasonable for Earthlings to have the habit of eating, right? Unless you skip meals at certain specific times, it's reasonable for them to eat the rest of the time, right?

As Chen Xuan approached, he saw Hua Mengjie skillfully placing fresh, emerald-green cucumbers into a basin of water to wash them. The water gently rinsed the fuzz on the cucumbers' surface, making a soft sound.

As she washed, as if sensing something, Hua Mengjie inadvertently glanced at the crystal diamond cabinet next to her and saw Chen Xuan's image reflected there.

At this moment, he was dressed in a simple and comfortable casual outfit, with a slight upturn at the corners of his mouth revealing a gentle smile, while his gaze was "deeply affectionate" fixed on his own graceful back.

Hua Mengjie's heart skipped a beat, she stopped what she was doing and turned her head.

The next moment, she involuntarily met Chen Xuan's "affectionate" gaze. Instantly, two blushes rose on Hua Mengjie's face, as delicate and luscious as a ripe apple.

"master......"

She lowered her head shyly, smiled slightly, and then quickly turned back to continue washing the cucumbers with focused attention, as if trying to hide the panic and sweetness deep in her heart that she felt about to be discovered.

"Actually, I don't have anything to do here. You can continue cooking. I just came to see what we're having for dinner today. You can go about your business."

"Mmm." Hua Mengjie nodded timidly.

(Something's blurry.)

Hua Mengjie started cooking, while Chen Xuan continued to watch from behind her.

"Mengjie, what kind of work are you doing? The food is almost burnt! Can't you smell it?"

"Waaah... I... Waaah! I'll turn it off right away, turn off the fire, sir, sir, please calm down!"

With great difficulty, Hua Mengjie finally managed to get the cooking time right, and a table full of delicious dishes was served. Chen Xuan sat in the main seat, while Hua Mengjie and Ji Youruo stood to the side.

"Mmm, it tastes really good!" Chen Xuan took a small bite of food, chewed it carefully, and a satisfied smile appeared on his face.

"It's as delicious as ever! It seems your cooking skills have always been excellent!" He said, glancing at Hua Mengjie beside him with admiration in his eyes.

Despite his earlier interference, the dishes were still cooked so well, which shows Hua Mengjie's genius.

"Thank you... thank you for the compliment, Master. As long as you are happy and enjoy my cooking, I will be content."

Hua Mengjie nodded slightly, her lips curving upwards in a radiant smile, her bright eyes sparkling with joy.

"Oh? Hehe, you're quite the obedient little maid!"

As he spoke, he took out a beautiful, vibrant peach blossom and handed it to Hua Mengjie, saying softly, "Here, this peach blossom is your reward."

Hua Mengjie accepted the peach blossom with delight. The pink petals accentuated her fair complexion, making her appear even more charming and beautiful.

She held the peach blossoms in her hands with great joy, feeling their warmth and beauty, and said softly, "Thank you for your gift, Master. I will cherish it dearly."
