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

"I wonder who this is..." Tang Sirui narrowed his eyes slightly, fixing his gaze on Chu Yinyao's figure, a hint of something flashing uncontrollably deep in his eyes...

"Oh, her? She is..." Chen Xuan was about to explain when Chu Yinyao's voice transmission reached his ears: "Don't reveal my identity!"

Chen Xuan felt a chill run down his spine and immediately stopped talking.

"What, is it because this young lady has a special identity that it's inconvenient for you to tell me?" Tang Sirui asked Chen Xuan with a slight smile.

"That's not true."

"To be honest, she is a fugitive from the Flying Immortal Sect. This woman's cultivation is unfathomable, having already reached the Tribulation Transcending stage. I only met her by chance, and then we traveled together."

Upon hearing this, Tang Sirui couldn't help but be slightly moved. Experts at the Tribulation Transcending stage were rare, let alone a woman.

However, he quickly regained his composure, smiled, and cupped his hands to Chu Yinyao, saying, "I see. May I ask your honorable name, young lady?"

"Ahem, brother, you can just call her Miss Yin."

"Miss Yin? Alright, welcome to my place! Make yourself at home here, and feel free to ask me for anything you need!" Tang Sirui said firmly.

"Alright, then find me a completely safe place right now. I just killed quite a few people and need to go into seclusion for the night," Chu Yinyao said coldly.

"Absolutely safe?"

"What? You don't even have this one condition?!"

"How could that be! It's just that this place is absolutely safe for me..."

"Stop playing dumb, just say what you want to say!"

"Alas, the only absolutely safe place for me is my own courtyard. I just don't know if Miss Yin would be so kind as to..." Tang Sirui feigned a sigh, his gaze constantly shifting between Rouwu and Chu Yinyao, his eyes filled with greed.

"Alright, lead the way."

Chu Yinyao agreed immediately, which surprised Tang Sirui, who looked at Chen Xuan with some astonishment.

'So you haven't... Ah, okay, okay! Then this is getting interesting!'

Soon, Tang Sirui led the three to his courtyard and then instructed, "Miss Yin, please come in. There are protective barriers inside to prevent outside prying eyes. As long as you stay in the courtyard, you are absolutely safe. Once inside, you can go to any room except the master bedroom!"

Chu Yinyao nodded and walked into the courtyard.

"Qingwu, it wasn't easy for you to be resurrected. Go inside and calm down first. After I've taken care of Chen Xuan, I'll come and tell you what's been happening around me lately."

Rouwu nodded and went inside without saying a word.

Now, only Tang Sirui and Chen Xuan remained outside the courtyard.

"Brother Chen, you must be tired from your journey. Come, let me take you to the reception room of my Tang Clan to rest. I'll have the servants prepare some wine and dishes right away."

Chen Xuan smiled upon hearing this: "Brother Tang, then I'll trouble you."

……

Soon, Tang Sirui settled Chen Xuan in, and then, at the fastest speed of his life, he returned to his small courtyard with some spirit wine and monster meat.

"Sorry to keep you waiting."

"It's alright, you don't need to be so polite," Rouwu said calmly.

"Yes, Qingwu, you haven't changed at all. You're still so understanding," Tang Sirui said with a smile.

"Where's Chen Xuan? Why can't I see him?" Chu Yinyao suddenly asked.

"Him? That kid, he's new here. As soon as he arrived, he asked me if there were any places to drink and have fun around here. I couldn't resist his nagging, so I had to take him there. So today... he probably can't come."

Upon hearing this, Chu Yinyao's expression grew even colder.

She never expected that this beast would dare to arrange for her beloved Chen Xuan to go to such a place. If it weren't for her grand plan, she would have wanted to take a knife and kill the person in front of her right now.

Tang Sirui was secretly delighted to see Chu Yinyao's cold expression.

What he desired was to make this silver-haired girl feel disgusted with Chen Xuan! Only in this way could he... hehehe!

"Alright, alright, let's not talk about him anymore, let's just eat!" Tang Sirui said, and then started eating first.

No need, I'll go into seclusion first.

Chu Yinyao left after saying this, and went to the room next to Tang Sirui's. Tang Sirui was delighted to see this.

"Qingwu, then let's..."

"I'll pass. I don't have much of an appetite today, and I need to rest."

"Okay, then go to my room..."

"I'll just stay with Sister Yin tonight. If there's nothing else, please don't bother me." After saying that, Rouwu left.

She didn't quite understand what Chen Xuan and Chu Yinyao were doing. With their strength, they could have easily... wait!

Could it be because I... reminded Chen Xuan, and then he...?!

"Impossible! Aunt Yin has been very good to me, she will definitely protect me! The reason they haven't made a move yet is probably because Chen Xuan is thinking of Aunt Yin!"

Thinking of this, Rouwu shook her head and went into Chu Yinyao's room.

"Aunt Yin~ What's wrong with you today? You've been so cold the whole time, it doesn't match your usual gentle temperament at all!"

Once inside the room, Rouwu clung to Chu Yinyao's arm and acted coquettishly.

I don't know why, but she really liked doing this, even with Bixiao.

Upon hearing this, Chu Yinyao clenched her fist, then took out a seed and threw it into a flowerpot indoors. The next moment, the seed sprouted immediately, and then Chen Xuan's figure slowly appeared.

"Chen Xuan? Why are you acting like a thief! Can't you just come in openly?" Rouwu couldn't help but complain when she saw Chen Xuan appear.

"Shh! I'm doing this to protect our safety!" Chen Xuan said with a smile.

"Come on, someone like him is no match for me and Aunt Yin. He's only doing this to protect us!" Rouwu said coquettishly.

"Um, actually I missed you guys."

"Okay, you win." Rouwu shrugged helplessly.

"However, Tang Sirui's personality has changed so quickly these days that he's almost unrecognizable! He actually secretly put something in the wine and meat served to you just now..." Chen Xuan complained.

Although this person wasn't a very good person in the original work, he wasn't this bad either. It seems that my appearance has changed too much of the course of events.

Upon hearing Chen Xuan's words, Rouwu's beautiful face was instantly covered with a layer of frost, as cold as ice.

Now, when she faces Tang Sirui, she feels no emotion whatsoever; on the contrary, her hatred for him grows stronger.

"Enough! He doesn't deserve to use that name at all! Besides, we're here on important business, so let's not talk about trivial things!" Chu Yinyao interrupted their conversation.
