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

"But, but..." Qing Lanyu looked conflicted.

"Fairy, no more 'buts,' just say yes. I promise I'll cherish you, protect you, and make you happy forever!"

Chen Xuan looked at Qing Lanyu and continued:

"Moreover, I can find you an even more beautiful place. For example, we can go to a fairy mountain where it is spring all year round, the scenery is picturesque, and there are many rare spiritual herbs that can make your cultivation smoother."

"Hmph... Chen Xuan, you're right! I will never be fooled by your sweet talk!" Qing Lanyu sneered.

But she had already begun to yearn for the life Chen Xuan had described.

"This isn't just sweet talk, it's... hehehe!"

Chen Xuan stopped pretending, picked up Fairy Qinglan, and rushed into the tent.

"Fairy..."

……

With their cooperation, Chen Xuan successfully completed the marriage proposal process, while Qing Lanyu also worked hard to adapt to the role of Fairy Qinglan.

After a busy night, amidst the "Fairy Qinglan's" grumbling and threats, the marriage proposal was finally successfully completed.

Qing Lanyu lay exhausted on the bed, looking at Chen Xuan with a helpless expression:

"You...you despicable little thief, I...I will absolutely not let you succeed!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Xuan was overjoyed.

Qing Lanyu is really amazing. She knows she is eating a meal replacement, but she still tries her best to make it taste as authentic as possible. Who can resist that?

"You won't let me succeed? Hehehe, look at yourself now, what's still missing... um?" Chen Xuan looked at the slightly dirty Qinglan jade and laughed loudly.

"...Alright! Since you've said so, I'll agree." Qing Lanyu said, blushing. "But you must remember what you said: you must cherish me, protect me, and make me happy forever!"

Since it's acting, there must be a conquered party; otherwise, the plot cannot reach its climax.

"Of course, I mean what I say!" Chen Xuan said confidently.

"Alright then, I'll reluctantly accept your marriage proposal for now. But don't think I've really been fooled by your sweet talk, you little rascal."

"Fairy, I'm relieved to hear you say that!" Chen Xuan replied with a smile.

Looking at Chen Xuan under the sunlight, Qing Lanyu could no longer suppress the surging emotions in her heart. After casting the water ball spell, she couldn't help but slowly extend her arms, which were as delicate and smooth as white jade, and hugged him tightly.

She knew very well that ever since she met this seemingly cunning yet incredibly gentle little thief, she had fallen into a bottomless sweet vortex, sinking deeper and deeper until she was completely immersed in it and could not get out.

However, even so, she showed no remorse whatsoever.

At this moment, Qing Lanyu's cheeks were flushed, as delicate and alluring as a ripe apple. She lowered her head slightly and asked softly in a voice as soft as a mosquito's buzz:

"So... are we... officially together now?"

This was her inquiry made under her true identity as Qing Lanyu.

Upon hearing this, Chen Xuan couldn't help but grin, his eyes full of doting affection, and teased, "Of course! Could it be that you're still thinking about being with someone else?"

Upon hearing this, Qing Lanyu's pretty face flushed even more, but at the same time, the corners of her mouth involuntarily turned up, forming an incredibly happy smile.

Then, like a docile and obedient kitten, she gently nestled into Chen Xuan's broad and warm embrace, quietly feeling the reassuring aura and strong hug emanating from him.

And so, the two nestled together, enjoying this warm and beautiful moment, as if time itself had stood still.

After a long while, Chen Xuan reluctantly released the beauty in his arms and began to seriously discuss business with Qing Lanyu.

"I'm saying... Yu'er, I think we don't need to keep pretending anymore, right?"

Chen Xuan raised the corners of his mouth slightly, looking at the woman in front of him with a half-smile, a hint of mockery flashing in his eyes.

Upon hearing this, Qing Lanyu froze, her eyes widening in disbelief.

"Wha, what?"

She was completely taken aback when Chen Xuan suddenly said such a thing, and a wave of panic washed over her.

After all, she had always carefully concealed her true identity, believing herself to be flawless. But now, Chen Xuan seemed to see through everything and directly exposed her secret.

Seeing Qing Lanyu's bewildered expression, Chen Xuan couldn't help but find it amusing, but he maintained a gentle demeanor and said softly:

"I said, Yu'er!"

"You...you!!" Qing Lanyu was caught off guard by Chen Xuan's direct gaze, and her body tensed up instantly. At this moment, she felt her heart pounding like a deer, and a blush involuntarily rose to her cheeks.

Faced with Chen Xuan's sudden candor, she had no idea how to respond.

However, before she could even react, Chen Xuan's next words exploded in her ears like a thunderbolt:

"Yes, my husband knew your true identity from the very beginning, Yu'er!"

"You...you!!!" Qing Lanyu's voice trembled, and her face turned completely red.

These words were like a sharp sword piercing Qing Lanyu's heart, leaving her utterly shocked.

She never imagined that she had been fooling herself all along, while Chen Xuan had seen right through her little tricks. Thinking of this, she felt an overwhelming sense of shame and wished she could disappear into the ground and never show her face again.

"What do you mean, Yu'er? Do you like that Chen Xuan who's so stupid he can't even guess your true identity?" Chen Xuan laughed.

But at this moment, Qing Lanyu's mind was in chaos. She had no idea where she was or what Chen Xuan was saying. All sorts of thoughts came rushing in.

She felt that in front of Chen Xuan, she must have looked like a ridiculous clown, thinking she had fooled everyone, but in reality, he had already seen through her. This feeling made her feel extremely embarrassed and disappointed.

The more she thought about it, the more upset she became. In the end, Qing Lanyu decided to slip away without seeing Chen Xuan.

But Chen Xuan seemed to have anticipated her move, so he didn't give her any chance to escape.

He flashed and appeared beside Qing Lanyu like a ghost, then effortlessly pulled her into his arms.

Qing Lanyu was stunned and froze on the spot.

"What's wrong, Yu'er? Why are you running away? Are you regretting it?" Chen Xuan laughed.

"You...you're a big bad guy!"

Qing Lanyu's face turned red with anger, her beautiful eyes widened as she glared at Chen Xuan, muttering to herself:

"Damn it, how could you be so annoying! You clearly saw right through me, but you didn't call me out on it. Were you just deliberately trying to make fun of me?!"

As she spoke, she acted like a kitten that had been provoked, baring her teeth and claws as she tried to break free from Chen Xuan's embrace.

However, Chen Xuan was not about to let her succeed so easily, and instead hugged her even tighter.

Unable to struggle, Qinglan Yu could only retaliate by gently biting Chen Xuan's shoulder.
