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

“That’s not what I was talking about at all! It’s about…it’s about what you did to me in my palace!”

Hua Mengjie's pretty face flushed red, whether from embarrassment or anger. She stared wide-eyed at Chen Xuan, her gaze seemingly spitting fire.

"Huh? The palace? What about the palace?" Chen Xuan pretended to be clueless.

"Hmph, don't give me that! I'll tell you the truth: even though I've returned to normal now, I can still play with you... like that!"

"But why did you have to choose a time when I wasn't thinking clearly, making me stand there like a fool, pressed against that door, talking to Li Qingfeng?!" Hua Mengjie became more and more agitated as she spoke, her voice unconsciously rising eight octaves.

"Do you really enjoy seeing me emotionally broken down and heartbroken? Is that the only way to satisfy your... wicked psychological needs?!"

Hua Mengjie's delicate body trembled slightly, and tears glistened in her eyes.

Clearly, she was very disappointed with her performance in public. She had vowed to personally kill Li Qingfeng, but once outside, she changed...

And Chen Xuan, he's such a jerk! No matter what, she's his... and he still bullies her like that! How could she not feel wronged!

Thinking about this, she became angrier and angrier. The next moment, she flashed forward and pounced on Chen Xuan like a bolt of lightning.

She used the special skill that Chen Xuan had mentioned to her during their conversation—the deadly scissor kick!

In an instant, those long, straight, jade-like legs clamped tightly around Chen Xuan's neck like two sharp scissors.

Chen Xuan, who was trapped, felt his breath catch in his throat, but his expression did not change.

If you're angry, just be angry; there's no need to reward yourself.

However, Hua Mengjie is still angry, so we shouldn't let her have any more extra emotions.

"Cough cough cough! Your apprentice is still here, stop it, stop it!"

"My disciple? You...you bastard! You even dare to attack my disciple!! I'll teach you a lesson!" Hua Mengjie trembled with anger upon hearing this, her beautiful eyes widening as she glared at Chen Xuan.

The next moment, she clenched her little pink fists, as if she was about to punch Chen Xuan.

"No, sister, I'm serious! If you don't stop, she might be in danger!"

Upon hearing this, Hua Mengjie stopped what she was doing.

However, she still looked at Chen Xuan with suspicion, her eyes filled with doubt and distrust. After a long while, she slowly asked, "Are you sure you're not lying to me?"

“It’s more real than real gold!” Chen Xuan nodded without hesitation. Then, he took the seed out of his pocket and gently handed it to Hua Mengjie.

Hua Mengjie looked at the seed with suspicion, then reached out and took it. She placed the seed in her palm, closed her eyes, and carefully sensed it.

Before long, she clearly sensed Su Yao's soul aura, which was hidden within the tiny seed.

"Chen Xuan!?? What on earth is going on? How did she turn into a seed?" Hua Mengjie stared wide-eyed at Chen Xuan, waiting for him to give a reasonable explanation.

"Well, this is a long story. Let's wait until you plant her and she grows up before we talk about it. Of course, you can also go to your sister Lin Rou; she's an expert on this."

"Lin Rou... Sister!!!" Hua Mengjie was startled upon hearing this.

If Chen Xuan hadn't reminded her in time, she probably would have forgotten about Lin Rou long ago! After all that work with Ji Youruo and the others, she thought she was the main character, but the real victim hadn't even shown up!

"Lin Rou...she and you are the true Daoist couple...and what about me? What have I done? God, how could I be so foolish!!!" Hua Mengjie felt her head buzzing, filled with remorse, and her emotions collapsed instantly. She covered her face and sobbed.

"Alright, stop crying. If we're talking about fault, it's mine, not yours. It was all premeditated, so I should take responsibility," Chen Xuan said, gently patting Hua Mengjie's back to comfort her.

"Waaah! You still say that! Why are you still saying these things! I... how can I face Lin Rou now! It's all your fault, you big bad guy!" Hua Mengjie could no longer suppress her grievances and self-blame. She suddenly threw herself into Chen Xuan's arms and started sobbing like a child.

Clearly, Hua Mengjie cared deeply about Lin Rou, her "junior." Theoretically, she should have been the one to mentor Lin Rou, but she never expected that she would end up stealing Lin Rou's happiness... Thinking of this, Hua Mengjie felt even more ashamed to face anyone.

"Alright, alright, crying anymore is bad for your baby. Lin Rou won't blame you. She knew about you from the beginning, and you even came into my villa with so many people inside. If she were to get angry at everyone, she'd have to be able to handle it!"

"You...you've gone too far! It's absolutely outrageous! Lin Rou is clearly my junior, how can I...how can I lower myself to call her 'elder sister' now!" Hua Mengjie sobbed, wiping away tears from the corners of her eyes.

Hearing this, Chen Xuan shook his head dismissively, "Tsk tsk, you're wrong about that. Lin Rou isn't your junior. Once you know her true identity, you'll probably obediently call her 'sister'!"

Upon hearing this, Hua Mengjie raised her head with teary eyes and asked in a choked voice, "Really...really? You're not lying to me, are you?" At this moment, she was crying with tears streaming down her face, and her pitiful appearance made people feel sorry for her, as tempting as a ripe cherry.

"Of course! I always keep my word and never lie! Besides, you should know my personality; I can't stand seeing a woman cry. If you keep crying, hmph, be careful, or I'll immediately transform into a terrifying demon!"

Upon hearing this, Hua Mengjie seemed startled and quickly stopped crying, sobbing as she said, "Where...where is Lin Rou? I need to go find her right away!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Xuan's lips curled into a slight smile. He then snapped his fingers, and Hua Mengjie vanished instantly. In the blink of an eye, she appeared where Lin Rou was.

"This time, considering you're really in a bad mood, I'll let you off the hook for now, but about the two of you..."

As Chen Xuan spoke, he flashed and appeared beside Ji Youruo, grabbing her as she chased after Qing Lanyu.

"Chen Xuan, let me go! That wicked woman Qing Lanyu dared to bully me while I'm not smart enough. Let me teach that wicked woman a lesson!"

"You Ruo, don't be in such a hurry. It's more appropriate for me, your master, to teach Qing Lanyu a lesson, hehehe!"
