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

"So you mean Mu Li is lying to me?" Chen Xuan asked, somewhat uncertainly.

"That should be the case," Yunxuan said, though she was also somewhat uncertain.

"Where is my daughter? Let me see her first."

"Ying'er, come out quickly, your father is here to see you!" Faced with Chen Xuan's request, Yun Xuan helplessly called out Chen Ying.

"Father is here?!" Chen Ying's voice came from inside the cave, and then her figure appeared in front of Chen Xuan and Yun Xuan.

When Chen Ying saw Chen Xuan, she immediately ran to his side, hugged his leg, and looked at him happily.

"Daddy!"

"Ying'er, how have you been doing here these days?" Chen Xuan looked at his lovely daughter, who was as beautiful as a porcelain doll, with concern in his eyes. His deep eyes were full of fatherly love and he looked straight at Chen Ying.

Chen Ying blinked her big, bright eyes, her little mouth slightly upturned, revealing a sweet smile as she said, "Daddy, this place is great! Yunxuan... oh no, Master is so good to me! She teaches me so many interesting things every day! But..." As she said this, a hint of mischievousness suddenly flashed across the girl's delicate face.

Chen Xuan, being so perceptive, naturally wouldn't miss this fleeting change in expression, so he quickly asked, "But what? My dear daughter, tell your father quickly."

Chen Ying hesitated for a moment, then spoke as if she had made up her mind: "But... but I haven't seen my mother for so long. Father, do you think my mother will abandon me once she goes out into the world?" As soon as she finished speaking, the little girl's eyes began to redden, and she looked like she was about to cry.

Hearing this, Yunxuan, who was standing to the side, immediately became anxious. She glared at Chen Ying reproachfully and said urgently, "Chen Ying! You brat, you can't talk nonsense! You two just met yesterday, how can you say such things!"

Chen Ying seemed startled by Yun Xuan's reaction. Her rosy face turned deathly pale in an instant. She timidly raised her head and muttered softly, "Ah? Really? But... but Ying'er really has never seen Mother!"

After saying this, she secretly glanced at her master, her eyes filled with guilt and unease.

He was still just a child, and his lies were full of holes. Chen Xuan saw all of this and already understood the gist of the matter.

Qian Muli, that ignorant and arrogant woman, actually colluded with Chen Ying to do such an absurd thing just so that Yunxuan would stay by her side!

Chen Ying is still young and naive, and has a chance to reform. But if she grows up and secretly gathers a bunch of women for herself with the other kids, wouldn't that be a huge joke?

No, no! This absolutely cannot happen! We must severely punish Qian Muli and correct Chen Ying's wrongdoing!

But... those are things for later. Right now...

Suddenly, Chen Xuan's eyes widened, and he said sternly to Yun Xuan, "Yun Xuan, things have come to this, do you still have anything to say in your defense?"

Yunxuan looked embarrassed and was about to explain, "I... Chen Xuan, can't you really see that this girl is just joking...?" However, before she could finish speaking, Chen Xuan impatiently waved his sleeve.

With a whoosh, a powerful force swept out and instantly sent Chen Ying back to the distant villa, making it impossible for her to appear and testify.

Although Qian Muli's behavior certainly deserves severe punishment, Yun Xuan's situation also needs to be handled properly at the moment.

After all, there was an unfathomable Celestial King watching him intently from above. Although his abilities wouldn't necessarily lead to his death, it was best not to leave any regrets.

"Yunxuan, now, what else do you have to say!"

"Chen Xuan, are you stupid? All you can say is this! This is obviously premeditated... Can't you see that?" Yun Xuan complained.

"Hmph, I don't care what you think, I care what I think!" (Xiaoming's voice)

“You…” Yunxuan angrily pointed at Chen Xuan, but Chen Xuan grabbed her small hand instead.

"I never imagined that someone would dare treat my wife and daughter like this on my own turf. I will... punish you severely!" Chen Xuan looked at Yun Xuan with a smile, his tone enigmatic.

"What, what do you want to do?!" Yun Xuan's beautiful eyes widened as she stared in horror at Chen Xuan's smiling face, her delicate body trembling slightly.

For some reason, seeing Chen Xuan like this, she suddenly felt a very bad premonition.

Chen Xuan's lips curled into a wicked smile as he slowly leaned close to Yun Xuan's jade-like earlobe and whispered, "Of course... I'll punish you properly! Who told you to be so bold as to...!"

His voice was deep and magnetic, as if it possessed an irresistible magic, causing Yunxuan's heart to beat faster involuntarily.

The next moment, before Yunxuan could fully recover, Chen Xuan suddenly reached out and easily pulled her slender and petite body tightly into his arms.

"Chen Xuan! You, you put me down right now!" Yun Xuan seemed to wake up from a dream and began to struggle desperately, her jade hands pounding on Chen Xuan's broad and solid chest, trying to break free from his warm embrace.

However, no matter how hard she tried, it was all in vain, like an ant trying to shake a tree. Chen Xuan's arms held her firmly like iron clamps, leaving her no way to escape.

"Yunxuan, you once solemnly promised me that you would personally guide my daughter's cultivation and help her embark on the path to immortality."

However, to this day, not only have you failed to keep your promise, but you haven't even been able to do something as simple as reuniting mother and daughter. Today, I will punish you severely!

With a smile in his eyes and barely suppressed anger in his voice, Chen Xuan hugged Yun Xuan tightly as he spoke, striding towards the depths of the cave.

"This... there's absolutely no direct connection between these two things! Chen Xuan, what kind of absurd logic is this?!" Yun Xuan was so angry she almost laughed.

As the head of a sect, she was no fool; how could she not understand Chen Xuan's intentions?

She knew perfectly well that she had fallen into Chen Xuan's carefully laid trap. From the very beginning, Chen Xuan had harbored ill intentions towards her, but he had never revealed them.

This time, he finally found a perfect excuse and opportunity to abduct her with a legitimate reason. Thinking of this, Yunxuan couldn't help but feel a strange emotion welling up inside her.
