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

As Yan Nishang retreated, her beautiful eyes widened in disbelief as she stared at Chen Xuan's figure, which had suddenly vanished without a trace. She froze on the spot, her mind blank.

It took her a while to come to her senses, her delicate body trembling violently with anger.

That stunningly beautiful face was now flushed with anger.

"Damn it!"

"I knew perfectly well that the temporary boost to this wretched guy's strength was about to expire, so why was I so disturbed by his sudden kiss just now?"

The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. She subconsciously raised her delicate hand and vigorously wiped her luscious red lips, as if trying to erase the traces left by Chen Xuan.

However, as she wiped her lips, a strange feeling welled up inside her, causing her to involuntarily swallow.

"Damn it, I actually..."

"He...he's gone?" Just as Lady Chiyan was in a state of confusion, Mu Qingfeng's voice came from the large clock beside her, pulling her back to reality.

Leng Ruoyun, who had been lying on the ground trembling like a frightened rabbit, seemed to wake up from a dream and came to her senses.

Her eyes widened, and she stammered, "Okay, it seems he's gone. That's great! We finally survived his enhancement period." After saying that, she let out a long sigh of relief, her body still trembling slightly from the shock she had just experienced.

"Hmph, our intelligence was wrong, and we wasted one of my most precious Immortal Essence Pills. I deserve to die!" Upon hearing this, Mu Qingfeng walked out of the bell with a look of annoyance.

At this moment, his previously severe injuries had completely healed, and he looked refreshed and energetic.

However, his unharmed state aroused dissatisfaction among others.

Lady Crimson Flame gritted her teeth and glared at Mu Qingfeng: "Since you consumed the Immortal Essence Pill and recovered all your injuries and strength, why didn't you come out and fight alongside me then? Were you just going to stand by and watch everyone be in danger?"

Leng Ruoyun chimed in, "That's right! Just now, I almost lost my life, and you were just hiding inside the clock, watching without doing anything! I used to think you were a decent person, but now it seems you're just a cowardly coward!"

She grew angrier as she spoke, remembering how she had just embarrassed herself in front of the person she hated most. She put her hands on her hips, her pretty face turning bright red.

"Ahem, actually I've only just recovered myself. Chen Xuan was the one who wanted to kill me the most back then, so I... resorted to this desperate measure! Plus, I haven't fully recovered yet, which is why I couldn't come to help. I'm so sorry to both of you."

"Hmph, then tell me, what should we do now?" Leng Ruoyun said with a cold snort.

"In my opinion, the power of the immortal artifacts we currently possess may be insufficient. I personally plan to go out for a while to find my master, ask her for a few more powerful treasures, and then return here to have a showdown with Chen Xuan!"

"Hmph, is this your so-called solution? Isn't this tantamount to deserting in the face of battle? It seems Leng Ruoyun was right, you are a complete coward, a piece of trash!" Madam Chiyan couldn't help but mock.

Upon hearing this, Mu Qingfeng was filled with rage. A cold smile appeared on his lips as he replied, "I deserted my post? If I heard correctly, you were the one who shouted 'Don't come any closer!' Now you're turning around and accusing me of trying to shirk responsibility? That's utterly ridiculous!"

Damn it, I'm afraid of Chen Xuan, but you two should stay out of my way.

"You really are brainless! Chen Xuan just used that strange secret technique that can instantly enhance one's strength, but such a technique must have a time limit."

By now, the time has likely passed, and he is certainly unable to use this technique again. Moreover, he is very likely to be extremely weak due to the backlash. If we can seize this opportunity to quickly find his whereabouts, we can easily kill him with a single blow!

Mu Qingfeng frowned slightly: "Find him? That's easy for you to say, but Chen Xuan has already disappeared without a trace. What ability do you have to know where he has escaped to?"

"How do we find him?" Lady Crimson Flame suddenly turned her gaze to Leng Ruoyun and said meaningfully, "Naturally... we'll rely on her!"

Taken aback by the sudden gaze, Leng Ruoyun pointed at herself in astonishment and asked, "Huh? Me? How would I know where he went? Don't make this up!"

"I never would have guessed you were such a blockhead! Who has your storage bag now? If he's taken your things, locating him will be a piece of cake!"

"Uh... well, actually I can pinpoint his location. But what if Chen Xuan is perfectly fine and not weak at all? Wouldn't we just be asking for trouble if we went over there?"

At this moment, Leng Ruoyun appeared somewhat lost and dejected.

She recalled the scene of being ruthlessly defeated by Chen Xuan with thunderous force, and a chill ran through her heart.

From that moment on, Chen Xuan's formidable strength was deeply imprinted in her mind, unknowingly creating an indelible psychological shadow around her.

Chen Xuan is invincible.

"Hmph, so what if he's not weak? Even if he were in perfect condition, he's just a mere True Immortal! Are you really so cowardly that you don't even have the courage to face a True Immortal? Are you still the same Leng Ruoyun who used to be fearless and even dared to challenge me?"

Lady Chiyan looked at Leng Ruoyun with disdain, her tone full of sarcasm and contempt.

Hearing Madam Chiyan's words, Leng Ruoyun felt a surge of nameless anger.

"Shut up! Who said I'm a coward? If you dare underestimate me again, believe me, I'll fight you to the death right now!"

Leng Ruoyun clenched her fists and glared fiercely at Madam Chiyan, her eyes filled with hostility.

"Fine!" Lady Crimson Flame glared back defiantly. "Since you have the guts, let's set off now and go find Chen Xuan!"

"Go ahead and find them if you want. I'm not going to keep you company. Farewell!" Seeing that the two women had started again, Mu Qingfeng simply cupped his hands in greeting and left the scene.

"You... coward!" Leng Ruoyun glanced at Mu Qingfeng's retreating figure and said angrily.

She had already been bullied so badly by that despicable Chen Xuan, and all you did was run away! Just thinking about what Chen Xuan did when he took her storage bag made Leng Ruoyun feel her blood rush to her head.

"He's gone, so be it. I didn't expect anything from him anyway. Enough with the nonsense, now that Chen Xuan is weak, you'd better lead the way!"

Watching Mu Qingfeng leave, Leng Ruoyun glared fiercely at Madam Chiyan again before reluctantly saying, "Fine, I'll listen to you then. I'll go find him now. But once I find him, you can…!"

"Don't worry, I will kill him in the first encounter, so he won't even have time to react before he dies!" Lady Crimson Flame's eyes flashed with the flames of revenge.

(Some people say they want the female lead to return. Who would you like to see return?)
