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

"This is my sister-in-law?" Chen Xuan couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

"Yes, this is your sister-in-law, Fairy Jinglan," said the Green Mountain Ancestor with a smile, his tone full of pride.

"Fairy Jinglan?!" Chen Xuan's gaze grew increasingly strange.

Is this old man deliberately picking a fight with Qinglan?

"Well, actually she ascended to heaven with me, but everyone calls her Fairy, so I call her that too," explained Ancestor Green Mountain.

"Qingshan, why did you suddenly come here?" the woman asked coquettishly, her voice as clear and melodious as a nightingale's song.

"Haha, can't I come and visit you even if there's nothing wrong? Come, come, take a look, this is my virtuous brother whom I just met not long ago—Chen Xuan!"

"Jinglan Fairy... ah no, sister-in-law, hello! I am Chen Xuan!"

Upon hearing this, Fairy Jinglan looked at Chen Xuan.

The moment their eyes met, it was as if an electric current passed through their hearts.

A soft "thump!" came first from Fairy Jinglan's chest; she felt as if her heart was about to leap out of her throat.

At the same time, Chen Xuan also heard the sound of his heart pounding violently, "thump thump thump!" The rapid heartbeat was like the beating of war drums, making him dizzy.

Suddenly, the surrounding air seemed to become scorching hot, causing the two of them to breathe faster involuntarily.

This sudden, intense feeling caught the usually dignified and serene Fairy Jinglan completely off guard. A blush quickly crept up her fair ears, like a ripe apple, delicate and alluring.

Fortunately, Fairy Jinglan was no ordinary person; she ascended to immortality through her extraordinary strength.

Therefore, although a fleeting, romantic thought arose in her heart, she was able to quickly suppress it and regain her calm and serene state of mind.

At this moment, Fairy Jinglan spoke first: "Do you know me?" Her beautiful eyes darted around as she gazed at Chen Xuan in front of her, a charming smile playing on her lips.

Chen Xuan was captivated by her gaze and was momentarily speechless. After a long while, he stammered a reply:

"Uh, no... I don't know him..." After saying this, he felt embarrassed, his cheeks flushed slightly, and he didn't know what to do with his hands and feet.

His heart was racing, which made him a little flustered, but fortunately his acting was fine, and he happened to have his back to the Green Mountain Ancestor.

Upon seeing this, the Green Mountain Ancestor burst into hearty laughter:

"Haha, it's okay. We're all family now, so don't be so reserved." As he spoke, he reached out and gently patted Chen Xuan's shoulder from behind to comfort him.

"Yes, that's for sure. With your natural beauty and stunning looks, I will naturally treat you with the same respect as you do, brother."

Upon hearing this, Fairy Jinglan smiled even more brightly, and said coquettishly:

"Hmm, my husband, you're such a sweet talker!" The atmosphere between the three of them instantly became relaxed and cheerful, and laughter echoed in the peaceful world.

“Alright, now that I’ve met your sister-in-law, I won’t disturb you two any longer. I’ll go and keep an eye on the others,” Chen Xuan said.

"Alright, go ahead and get busy," said the Old Ancestor of Green Mountain.

Chen Xuan nodded and turned to leave.

"Qingshan, your young brother seems to be quite extraordinary!" Fairy Jinglan said thoughtfully, her beautiful eyes gazing at Chen Xuan in the distance.

Upon hearing this, the Old Ancestor of Green Mountain was slightly taken aback, then asked with great interest, "Oh? I wonder what my wife is referring to? I hope you can enlighten me."

The fairy maiden Jinglan frowned slightly, hesitated for a moment, and then slowly spoke:

"I always had a vague feeling that there was something unique about the aura he exuded, as if he was different from everyone else in the world, which made him seem quite mysterious and unusual."

This is Chen Xuan, whom she observed closely after her heart raced.

After hearing this, the Green Mountain Ancestor fell into deep thought, and after a short while, he raised his head and replied:

"Forget it, whatever he may be, since he has willingly acknowledged me as his elder brother, we should naturally do our best to take care of him and not let him suffer any grievances here."

When he said these words, the Green Mountain Ancestor looked righteous and spoke with a solemn and stern expression, but if you looked closely, you would find that a faint trace of hypocrisy flashed in the depths of his eyes.

Fairy Jinglan nodded slightly in agreement:

“Yes, my husband is absolutely right. When he gets off work, we might as well invite him over for a chat, so we can get to know each other better and become closer. After all, there are still people at home…” She suddenly stopped speaking, as if she wanted to say something more.

Old Ancestor Qingshan slapped his forehead as if suddenly realizing something: "Oh dear, what a memory I have! Only after my wife mentioned it did I remember that there is someone else at home! No, I must set off immediately to inform him!"

After speaking, he blurred into a streak of light and sped away into the distance.

As she watched the departing Green Mountain Ancestor, a blush returned to Fairy Jinglan's face.

"I was focused on my cultivation and my husband, so why am I like this... Could this be what they call love at first sight?"

……

A day passes in the blink of an eye.

Chen Xuan did not approach Zheng Yaqin on the first day. After all, it was the first day, and she was still a person... She would definitely be very cautious in this regard. Moreover, he did not know her specific strength, so he would wait and see how she fared.

"Brother, let's go. Come to my house tonight. Your sister-in-law went home early to prepare food for you!"

"Is there food in this mine?"

"Of course! After all, this is a place that produces immortal crystals, and our wages are also in immortal crystals. How could no one come to do business here? Don't worry, the place where we live is not much different from a city!"

With that, the Green Mountain Ancestor led Chen Xuan to their residence.

"This...this is..." Chen Xuan arrived at the city mentioned by the Green Mountain Ancestor and was momentarily dazed.

Because the city here was completely different from what he had imagined. The most incongruous thing was that what he saw in front of him were rows of tower buildings (the kind that are twenty or thirty stories high, like in a residential complex).

"How about it, bro? What did you think of it at first glance? No, you should have seen it yesterday. I guess I'm forgetting, hahaha!"

Chen Xuan ignored what the Green Mountain Ancestor said and kept mentally complaining:

"You're not even going to keep up the act, are you? Don't let me catch you, or else... I'll teach you a lesson!"

Thinking it over, he and Old Ancestor Qingshan walked into the building together.
