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

"Don't come any closer! I'm now at the third level of the Human Immortal realm. If you... if you dare take another step, don't blame me for being ruthless and making you regret it!"

Li Jingyi's delicate body trembled slightly, but she still tried to remain calm and used words to scare away Chen Xuan, who was pressing closer and closer.

However, Chen Xuan seemed oblivious to Li Jingyi's threats, continuing his unhurried walk towards her.

A hint of mockery flickered in his deep eyes, as if the seemingly formidable woman before him was nothing more than a paper tiger in his eyes.

"You...! You wouldn't listen to reason, so don't blame me for being ruthless! Take this!"

As Chen Xuan drew closer, Li Jingyi could no longer contain her fear. With a soft shout, she charged towards Chen Xuan with her petite frame, her jade-like foot striking him with lightning speed.

This kick contained all her strength; if it landed, even a fifth-level Human Immortal would be in serious trouble.

However, Chen Xuan was no ordinary person. With a slight smile and without even raising his head, he casually reached out and grabbed Li Jingyi's swift and agile foot in the blink of an eye.

"Ah! What are you doing! Let me go!" Li Jingyi was both ashamed and angry, her pretty face instantly turning bright red.

She struggled desperately to break free from Chen Xuan's grasp, but her strength was too weak, and no matter how hard she tried, it was to no avail.

"No, how can you say that? What do you mean by 'what am I supposed to do'? You kicked me for no reason first!"

"I warned you not to come any closer, but you still came over... You're asking for a beating!"

"Alright, alright, why say so much useless stuff? Don't move, be good, let me take a good look at your flexibility... cough cough, let's see how your talent for cultivation is."

As he spoke, Chen Xuan, still holding Li Jingyi's small foot that had just attacked, took another step forward.

Seeing this, Li Jingyi was both ashamed and angry. She immediately began to struggle and kept punching Chen Xuan.

However, her meager strength was utterly useless against Chen Xuan, like a mantis trying to stop a chariot.

Before long, under the pressure of Chen Xuan's powerful aura, Li Jingyi had no choice but to use a split in an attempt to break free from his restraints.

But clearly, her little trick didn't work; instead, it put her in an even more awkward situation.

"I never expected you to be so good-looking, yet you spend all your time doing sneaky things and stealing me away! Well then..."

Chen Xuan held Li Jingyi's small ( ) in his hand and examined it carefully, like a connoisseur admiring a perfect work of art.

Seeing this, Li Jingyi felt a mixture of shame and indignation. She had never been bullied by a man like this before. This man was utterly despicable and went too far!

However, since he was only at the third level of the Human Immortal realm, he was no match for Chen Xuan, so he had no choice but to outsmart him.

"You, you are my little blade of grass?"

"No, I am just mine, not your little grass, and... maybe you are mine too."

"Pah! You shameless scoundrel, let me go!" Li Jingyi's eyes blazed with fury upon hearing Chen Xuan's words.

"Let you go? How can I? You absorbed so much of my life force, how can I let you go so easily?"

Chen Xuan said with a smile, a strange light flashing in his eyes.

"I...I'll pay you back! It's nothing!"

"So you stole someone else's things, what are you going to do about that? I knew Chen Teng was a True Immortal level expert!"

"What?! How is this possible?!" Li Jingyi's eyes widened, completely unable to believe Chen Xuan's words.

Chen Teng is indeed a genius, but he has always been at the second level of the Human Immortal realm. How could he break through to the True Immortal realm in just one or two months?

Furthermore, she even used her Qi perception technique to sense Chen Teng, and he was just an unlucky guy with a name but no luck!

"Believe it or not, but for now, you'd better apologize to me obediently." Chen Xuan said, pulling Li Jingyi closer to him with a slight force, and kicking her shoulder with his calf.

"Damn it! I'll talk to Chen Teng and make things clear, I don't need you..." Li Jingyi struggled, but found that she couldn't break free from Chen Xuan's control at all.

The next moment, she suddenly realized something, and her face turned pale instantly.

"What...what exactly do you intend to do?!"

"Don't worry, I won't hurt you. I just want you to do me a favor."

Chen Xuan said with a smile, a strange light flashing in his eyes.

Looking at Chen Xuan's eerie smile, Li Jingyi suddenly felt a chill run down her spine.

However, before she could react, Chen Xuan had already taken a step forward and bent down to face her.

Li Jingyi's eyes widened instantly. She tried to struggle, but found that she couldn't move at all.

The next moment, a tremendous life force flowed from Chen Xuan's mouth into her body, giving her an unprecedented feeling of warmth and comfort.

However, this power also filled her with a strange sense of fear. This power wasn't something she had acquired through cultivation, but rather a gift from Chen Xuan.

Soon, Chen Xuan released Li Jingyi and looked at her with a smile. Li Jingyi, on the other hand, was shocked and uneasy, her eyes wide and her body trembling.

“I’m sorry to do it this way, but I need to confirm a few things,” Chen Xuan said softly. “I need to know if you are trustworthy and if you would betray me for your own selfish desires.”

(To fool God, and)

"What exactly do you want me to help you with?" Li Jingyi gritted her teeth, her eyes filled with anger and fear.

"As for me, I'm currently being hunted down. My cultivation level... is probably at the peak of the Golden Immortal realm, the early stage of the Golden Immortal realm, or the peak of the Profound Immortal realm."

Chen Xuan released Li Jingyi, walked to the table on his own, picked up Li Jingyi's teacup, and began to drink tea.

Seeing this, Li Jingyi's pretty face turned red with anger.

After the last major battle, Chen Xuan understood his current situation. However, due to the nature of the mine, it was inconvenient for his pursuers to investigate him one by one.

So, he deliberately took the storage bag of that so-called daughter of the Immortal King, just to make it easier for them to find him.

After all... if you don't accept the experience packs the boss gives you to level up, how will you fight the boss later on?

"Who...who exactly are you? Why are you so powerful that you're being hunted down?" Li Jingyi suppressed her anger and asked Chen Xuan.

"Don't ask questions you shouldn't ask! From now on, I'm just a little blade of grass in your potted plant, a silver-blue plant hairpin in your hair, understand?"

"I... understand," Li Jingyi said softly, but the way her eyes darted around revealed that she had other thoughts on her mind.

“Very well, now that we’ve finished discussing the important matters, let’s talk about your theft.” Chen Xuan said with a smile, seemingly unconcerned about Li Jingyi’s reaction.
