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

"Yes, you deserve it, but you should thank me as well. However..."

"But what? Please speak, sir!"

"Mengjie, do you know how to fix things? Something in our house seems to be broken."

"Huh? Yes, what is it? If it's too rare, I... I don't know how to fix it!"

"Well, it's nothing really. The dining table I'm using right now is made of Phoebe zhennan wood, but it seems like a small section of the leg is missing. Could you take a look and tell me what's wrong with it?"

"Huh? Then... table legs? Sir, what... do you mean by this?" Hua Mengjie looked at Chen Xuan with a blank expression, her heart filled with doubt and confusion.

She blinked her beautiful eyes, trying to find the answer in the other person's expression, but to no avail.

"Oh? Such a clever and quick-witted Mahayana cultivator, doesn't even know how to deal with damaged Phoebe zhennan wood?"

Chen Xuan's lips curled up slightly as he looked at Hua Mengjie with a half-smile, a hint of mockery flashing in his eyes.

Upon hearing this, Hua Mengjie was taken aback at first, then as if she had suddenly realized something, a blush instantly spread across her face, as delicate and luscious as a ripe apple.

"Oh!... Um... I understand, yes, it's necessary to cover it with a special spiritual liquid so that the golden nanmu tree can grow a second time..." Her voice became as soft as a mosquito's buzz, and she lowered her head, not daring to meet Chen Xuan's gaze.

"Hmph, what are you standing there for? Hurry up and go ask for some spiritual liquid to repair my table!"

"Yes!"

The next instant, Hua Mengjie's delicate body trembled slightly, and like a nimble little rabbit, she scurried under the table, attempting to use the spiritual liquid to repair herself.

"No, what are you talking about? What do you mean by 'made of Phoebe zhennan wood'? This table is clearly not... Wait?!"

Ji Youruo was initially puzzled, but the next moment, her face turned red with embarrassment, her heart pounded, and she turned around, wanting to run away.

"Where are you going, my little You Ruo?"

"Pah, pah! I, I'm the older sister! You're not allowed to talk to me like that!"

"Okay, okay, whatever you say."

Chen Xuan slowly extended his hand, and the next moment, Ji Youruo walked towards him uncontrollably.

The first day ended with Chen Xuan's cultivation breaking through to the 7th level of the Tribulation Transcending Realm.

The two maids have now been properly settled into a residence by Chen Xuan. Although the two may have had some entanglements and grudges in the past, none of these are problems for Chen Xuan.

Once they come to him, they are all people he needs to manage. Regardless of any past disputes or unpleasantness, Chen Xuan believes that with his abilities and methods, he can definitely make them put aside their differences and get along harmoniously.

at night.

"Hey, Hua Mengjie, what's wrong with you? You've kept me locked up for so many years, how did you become like this? This isn't the person you used to be!" Ji Youruo asked, lying on the bed.

Upon hearing this, Hua Mengjie blushed and turned over on her own, unwilling to answer Ji Youruo's question.

But Ji Youruo clearly disagreed.

"Turn around here and explain yourself. After all these years, how come you, the high and mighty Lord of Qingfeng Mountain, have become like this?"

"I'm a prisoner, forced into this situation, that's one thing, but you're a pillar of the Flying Immortal Sect, how did you become his maid... You're not the aloof and proud Hua Mengjie I used to know at all!"

Helpless, Hua Mengjie turned around, but instead of facing Ji Youruo directly, she lay on her side, her cheeks flushed, somewhat embarrassed to speak.

Although the two had a grudge against each other before, they now belong to the same person, so the past grievances can be put aside for the time being.

"Hey, hey, hey, what's wrong? Is there something even more incredible going on? Are you too embarrassed to tell me? Are you shy?"

Hua Mengjie looked at Ji Youruo helplessly and sighed, "What I become is none of your business. I am me, and you are you. We are two different people."

"Different?" Ji Youruo was taken aback, then realized what she meant. She curled her lip and said disdainfully, "Hmph, you wouldn't be so restrained because of your lover."

"I...I didn't..." Hua Mengjie stammered in rebuttal, but her voice was clearly lacking in confidence.

Ji Youruo looked at Hua Mengjie, a hint of mockery flashing in her eyes:

"You still say you didn't? Then tell me, why has the proud and arrogant Hua Mengjie fallen to this state? Tell me!"

Upon hearing this, Hua Mengjie's face turned even redder. She bit her lip and whispered, "You...you're overthinking it. I've just been a little...that's all."

"Can't say it, huh?" Ji Youruo snorted. "You're busy finding resources for your lover to break through his cultivation level, aren't you?"

Upon hearing this, Hua Mengjie was shocked. She glared at Ji Youruo and said sternly, "Witch, what...what nonsense are you talking about!"

Seeing Hua Mengjie's strong reaction, Ji Youruo smiled smugly: "I'm talking nonsense? You dare say you didn't help him find cultivation resources or protect him?"

Hua Mengjie was startled upon hearing this, not expecting that Ji Youruo could even guess this. She looked at Ji Youruo, unsure how to refute her.

Seeing Hua Mengjie remain silent, Ji Youruo became even more smug. She curled the corners of her lips and said, "What? Did I hit the nail on the head? Speechless?"

Hua Mengjie clenched her fists, gritting her teeth, but ultimately couldn't refute her. She turned her head away, no longer looking at Ji Youruo. At this moment, anything she said would be useless.

After a while, Ji Youruo, bored, pestered him again:

"Hey, we've known each other for a long time. Since we're just killing time anyway, why don't you tell me the details?"

Hua Mengjie remained silent, not wanting to pay any attention to her.

Then Ji Youruo intensified her questioning, and finally, Hua Mengjie, fed up, revealed the reason.

Upon hearing this, Ji Youruo was stunned for a moment, then exclaimed in surprise, "What? How could you do such a thing! That's Chen Xuan's Leaf of Life!"

“I know I made a mistake, but I had no choice. I couldn’t just watch Qingfeng fail to break through. He works so hard and suffers so much. I didn’t want to see him disappointed,” Hua Mengjie said sadly.

"But you can't steal Chen Xuan's Leaf of Life! Do you know how much trouble this will cause Chen Xuan?" Ji Youruo was a little angry. She was angry because she saw her opponent fall into such a state.

"I know, I... I acted impulsively without considering the consequences, and we've already been punished." Hua Mengjie lowered her head in shame.

"Hua Mengjie, you have really disappointed me. How could you do such a thing! You are not worthy to be my opponent!" Ji Youruo was a little angry. She turned her body away and did not want to talk to her.
