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

"Ah? Yes, I misunderstood my husband. How have you been these past few days?" Upon hearing Chen Xuan's explanation, Qing Lanyu immediately became worried.

"Alas, the hardships involved are too many to recount, they only bring tears! But, my husband, I'm willing to tell you about them! However, it might take a long time, we'll need to talk all night!"

Qinglan Yu blushed.

"You're truly shameless!"

"Hehe, just listen to this, listen to my life lately!" Chen Xuan said, picking up Qing Lanyu and walking into her inner room.

……

"Jue'er, all the beauty in the world cannot compare to even a fraction of your beauty."

The next morning, Chen Xuan began to praise Qinglan Yu in various ways.

"Oh dear, go away, don't give me that! You never say anything serious!" Qing Lanyu waved her hand playfully, pretending to drive Chen Xuan away, but the slight upturn of her lips and the smile that couldn't be hidden in her eyes betrayed her true joy.

"Why can't you say anything serious! You heartless bastard, I told you everything yesterday, and now you say I'm not serious!"

"Pah!" Qing Lanyu's cheeks flushed slightly.

"You're just... Hmph!! You're definitely not a good person!"

As she spoke, she lightly lifted her delicate foot and kicked Chen Xuan with what appeared to be force but was actually gentle.

"So, it was the Sect Master of Dongli who saved you and then brought you back to the Flying Immortal Sect?"

"That's right. If it weren't for Dong Li's righteous help at the Hehuan Sect back then, I would probably be a pile of dust by now. Since then, I have secretly vowed to work hard and cultivate diligently, and never let myself fall into such a desperate situation again."

"Fortunately, heaven rewards those who persevere. After these days of unremitting efforts, I have now successfully broken through to the sixth level of the Tribulation Transcending Realm! I suppose I can now fulfill the requirements that Fairy Qinglan set out in the past and be qualified to marry you, right?"

Chen Xuan said with a smug smile, gazing affectionately at the beauty before him.

Killer.

"You... Husband, you have worked so hard for me, Jue'er, Jue'er has no way to repay you!" Qinglan Yu said with tears in her eyes and her voice trembling slightly.

Her delicate appearance evoked feelings of tenderness and affection in people.

"We are family, how can I repay you? Jue'er, don't be so formal. Please wait a moment while I go to find Fairy Qinglan and Ancestor Qingshan to propose to them in person! With my sincerity, they will surely not refuse me. When that time comes, I will make sure that Jue'er stays by my side for the rest of my life, never to be separated!"

However, upon hearing these words, Qing Lanyu, who was originally moved to tears, suddenly froze on her rosy cheeks as if she had been frozen in place.

Qing Lanyu inwardly groaned:

Oh dear, you fool! I... I am Qinglan Yu herself! Where am I supposed to find another Qinglan Yu for you? What's more, we have to propose marriage in front of the Green Mountain Ancestor. Aren't you afraid that when he finds out the truth, he will be furious and kill you on the spot?

Thinking of this, Qing Lanyu felt her heart leap into her throat, extremely nervous.

"What's wrong, Jue'er? You seem a little unhappy. Could it be that you..."

"No, no! How could that be? I... I'm so happy! However, those two are currently discussing the Dao with many Mahayana stage cultivators, so it's not convenient for us to disturb them right now..."

"Oh, it's nothing, it's nothing. It's not like we're doing anything shameful, so what's there to worry about? Don't worry, it's no trouble!"

"No, no... I'm shy, I don't dare to go!" Every cell in Qinglanyu's body was rejecting it.

"Even an ugly daughter-in-law has to meet her in-laws eventually, and these are your elders, so what's there to be ashamed of?"

"No...no, I'm just shy!"

"Well, alright then, since that's the case, I'll get ready too," Chen Xuan said.

"Mmm-hmm!" Qing Lanyu nodded vigorously.

"My husband, you should prepare well. We'll talk about meeting them later!"

"In that case, Jue'er, you can help me."

"Huh? I... I can help you? How can I help?"

"Oh dear, you're so incredibly naive! Have you forgotten? You and Fairy Qinglan look exactly alike! So you can dress up as her and have a role-playing exercise with me!" Chen Xuan said eagerly.

Upon hearing this, Qing Lanyu froze instantly. Her eyes widened, and she pointed at herself in disbelief:

"Huh? I... I have to impersonate Fairy Qinglan? How is that possible?"

After all, she was the Fairy Qinglan herself, so how could she be impersonating someone else? For a moment, she was at a loss.

"Of course! Just think about it, every time I see Fairy Qinglan, I get incredibly nervous and feel like I'm under a mountain of pressure! But thankfully, you're here now, so you can help me rehearse beforehand and think about what I should say to avoid making a mistake. What do you say?" Chen Xuan looked at Qinglan Yu with anticipation.

However, Qinglan Yu shook her head repeatedly, looking troubled, and said, "No, no, no, I really can't do it! I don't have the otherworldly temperament of Fairy Qinglan!"

"Yes, yes, my dear wife! As long as you're a little more serious and show just a bit of authority, there won't be any problem! Trust me!"

"Maybe... we should just forget about it!"

"Alright, then I'll just propose marriage directly. Anyway, I don't have anything else to prepare." Chen Xuan said, and was about to leave the courtyard.

"Hey, hey, hey, no, don't go! I promise you, okay? Really!" Qing Lanyu quickly stopped Chen Xuan and pouted.

"That's wonderful! It's so good to have you, my darling Jue'er!"

"What did you say? How dare you talk to me like that? Look who I am!"

Qing Lanyu's entire demeanor changed drastically. She was no longer the timid and submissive wife she once was, but instead became as majestic as a mountain, making people afraid to look directly at her.

Chen Xuan was stunned for a moment, then laughed and said, "Hahaha, this is my Jue'er! This is the temperament of Fairy Qinglan!"

"Hmph, you're smart to know what's good for you." Qing Lanyu raised her head arrogantly and said, "Tell me what to do next, and I'll try my best to cooperate with you."

"Okay! Let's get started!"

Then, the two began a rehearsal of a "virtual marriage proposal".
