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

Meanwhile, Yan Ni Chang, who had been observing coldly from the sidelines, couldn't help but speak up:

"It seems I've missed some exciting developments. How long has it been? You two, who used to treat each other like mortal enemies, have become like this? Chen Xuan, Chen Xuan, could it be that you're hiding some earth-shattering secret... that you can even easily control the daughter of a Celestial King!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Xuan nearly jumped up in anger.

"Yan Nishang, don't give me that nonsense! I'm telling you, I swear on my integrity that I have absolutely not done anything improper to this young lady! Leng Ruoyun, come here and explain yourself!"

However, when faced with Chen Xuan's questioning, Leng Ruoyun just kept nodding. Whether she agreed with what Chen Xuan said or agreed with Yan Nishang's guess was unknown.

"Enough with the nonsense! I don't care what this stupid woman has been through. Now, you'd better give me your life!"

As she spoke, Lady Crimson Flame's body resembled a volcano about to erupt, instantly spewing forth a large amount of flames. The flames seemed to possess a spirit, meandering and swirling along her body, enveloping her entirely in the blink of an eye.

Beneath the raging flames, Lady Crimson Flame's face appeared exceptionally beautiful. As she moved her hands, flames roared out, transforming into fiery snakes that lashed out menacingly at Chen Xuan.

Seeing this, Chen Xuan decisively used the Profound Immortal Experience Card, and instantly, the aura of an early-stage Profound Immortal erupted. The next moment, Chen Xuan simply waved his hand and easily dispelled the attack launched by Yan Ni Chang.

Lady Chiyan's expression changed drastically upon seeing this. Leng Ruoyun, on the other hand, was overjoyed, seemingly sharing in Chen Xuan's strength.

"I knew it! Brother Chen Xuan looks perfectly fine, how could he be weak! For a strong person, the period of weakness is almost zero!!"

"However, as long as I wait until Brother Chen Xuan finishes beating this crazy woman and enters a period of weakness, I can properly comfort Brother Chen Xuan... Hehehe!" Leng Ruoyun thought to herself and unconsciously revealed a smile.

"No! This is absolutely impossible! You're only a True Immortal, how could you break through two major realms in a row? It's impossible for you to use it again so easily, you're definitely lying to me!"

With a sharp cry, Yan Nishang waved her hands, unleashing a torrent of intensely hot flames that surged towards Chen Xuan.

The raging flames seemed to ignite the entire space, instantly turning the surrounding air unbearably hot, making it difficult to breathe.

Clearly, this fire attack is much more powerful than before!

"After all this fighting, it seems you only know the fire-based attack methods! If I had known this, I wouldn't have needed to activate this experience at all..." Chen Xuan said with disdain, while extending his right hand and casually grabbing in the air.

The raging flames that had been sweeping towards Chen Xuan suddenly gathered in his palm as if summoned.

In the blink of an eye, the scorching flames had condensed into a small, exquisite fireball, which hovered quietly above Chen Xuan's palm, radiating a heart-palpitating heat and light.

However, just as Chen Xuan easily gained control of the flame and completely absorbed it, something unexpected happened.

Yan Nishang, who should have been standing there confronting them, had vanished without a trace! Apart from Chen Xuan and Leng Ruoyun, there was no trace of Yan Nishang to be seen on the entire field.

Clearly, facing the menacing Chen Xuan, Yan Nishang didn't even have the slightest courage to continue fighting. She turned and ran without hesitation, without even a moment's hesitation.

"Ah this..."

"I finally managed to get a trial card, and I haven't even collected the interest yet. I can't let you get away with it like this!"

"Shrink the earth to an inch!" As Chen Xuan softly uttered these four words, his body moved slightly, and then he suddenly took a step forward.

This seemingly simple step was like crossing "space," instantly bringing him to Yan Nishang's front. This caused the mysterious woman in the black dress, who was sitting with her legs crossed watching Chen Xuan, to stand up immediately.

With a muffled thud, Yan Nishang was caught off guard and crashed straight into Chen Xuan's arms like an out-of-control cannonball.

Due to the force of the impact, and because she herself had a buffer zone, the two of them even bounced back a bit. If Chen Xuan hadn't held her tightly, Yan Ni Chang would probably have fallen to the ground.

"Madam, isn't this a bit much? Why are you hitting me with this headbutt three times in a row? This rocket headbutt may not be very powerful, but it really hurts! Can you please let me off the hook, hmm?"

Yan Nishang was startled by Chen Xuan's words.

She looked up, her gaze meeting Chen Xuan's, who was standing inches away. In that instant, she felt as if an invisible hand was gripping her heart, causing it to pound wildly and uncontrollably.

"You..." Yan Nishang opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but when the words reached her lips, she didn't know how to express them.

"What do you mean, 'what do you mean, 'I'? Are you saying I was the one who bumped into you all three times?'" Chen Xuan raised an eyebrow, a half-smile playing on his lips.

"You lecherous scoundrel, prepare to die!"

The next moment, Yan Nishang suppressed her excitement and slapped Chen Xuan with her palm.

"Damn it, you woman, are you never going to stop? From the very beginning, you were the ones who wanted to kill me, and that's fine, but look at the other two, and then look at yourself. I haven't been ruthless towards you at all, okay?" Chen Xuan grabbed Yan Ni Chang's forearm.

Upon hearing this, Yan Nishang's pretty face instantly flushed red, but she did not back down. Instead, she playfully huffed, "Don't try that! This lady won't fall for your tricks!"

After saying that, she let out a delicate shout, her figure flashed, and she once again swung her slender, unbound hand, attacking Chen Xuan like a whirlwind.

"Alright, since that's the case, then don't blame me for being impolite later!" With that, he moved swiftly, like a ghost, and easily grabbed the jade arm that Yan Nishang was swinging.

Immediately afterwards, he twisted the handle and cleverly used one hand to tightly grasp Yan Nishang's two arms, making it difficult for her to break free.

After catching Yan Nishang with one hand, Chen Xuan quickly formed a complex and mysterious hand seal in the air with his other hand.

As he chanted incantations, a powerful surge of spiritual energy suddenly erupted from his palm, transforming into a dazzling beam of light that flew straight toward Yan Nishang.

This was the binding technique that Bixiao had taught him.

Faced with Chen Xuan's binding technique, Yan Nishang, who had no will to fight, had no time to react and could only watch helplessly as the light entered her body.

In an instant, she felt as if a heavy mountain was pressing down on her entire body, rendering her unable to move. Even the spiritual energy within her body seemed to be frozen, unable to be mobilized in the slightest.

"Chen Xuan! Let me go, and I have a top-grade treasure for you!"

"Snapped!"

"I was just negotiating with you, and you weren't so easy to talk to then. Now, it's too late!"

Seeing that the confinement technique had worked, Chen Xuan nodded in satisfaction. Then, he grabbed Yan Nishang and carried her like a chick, taking her to a secluded mining area.

The area is surrounded by jagged rocks and steep cliffs, with only a narrow passage leading to the outside world.

Chen Xuan stopped in front of a smooth stone wall, swung his arm forcefully, and pinned Yan Nishang against the wall.

Due to inertia, Yan Ni Chang's body involuntarily leaned forward, instantly closing the distance between her and Chen Xuan until they could almost feel each other's breath. At that moment, their eyes met, and the atmosphere instantly became ambiguous.

Merry Christmas Eve!
