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

"This woman is just a clever little girl with few friends. It's only because she is a Space Immortal Venerable that everyone treats her with great awe, so no one dares to truly open up to her," Chen Xuan muttered to himself.

In a remote, secret chamber, Luo Menglan, who had just left, was listening to Chen Xuan's complaints.

"Hmph, what do you mean 'little girl'? I am... hmph!"

"Moreover, her temperament is almost too good to be true, completely unlike the aloof and dignified image of an immortal in people's minds. Although she may occasionally act a little rascal, in general, she is someone who dislikes killing."

"With such a kind heart, lacking any of the ruthlessness expected of a Celestial Venerable, it's no wonder he was beaten so badly that he could only cower in a small corner, trembling with fear," Chen Xuan sighed again.

"Damn Chen Xuan!! Do you want to die? I was just making a tactical retreat, not because I couldn't beat that bitch. What power does her time law have against me? My space is the ultimate weapon!" Luo Menglan retorted frantically.

"If that's the case, how exactly did this woman ascend to the throne of the Immortal Venerable? Was it simply because she possessed an extraordinary physique, and everything just naturally progressed to this point? In that case, she seems to be a giant experience pack, waiting specifically for the protagonist to climb up step by step!"

"No, no! This difficult climb has to be done by me personally. After all, a silly little girl like you is probably beyond the ability of anyone but me to save you."

As Chen Xuan thought about his past with Luo Menglan, he muttered a complaint under his breath.

"Climbing?!" Luo Menglan, who was eavesdropping, was stunned when she heard this word, and her mind went blank for a moment.

After a while, she gradually came to her senses, and then a surge of heat rushed to her cheeks, instantly turning her face bright red.

"Well, you stinking Chen Xuan! I respected you, thinking you had the courage to befriend me, which is why I was so friendly and kind to you. I never expected... you to be so unambitious, only thinking about crooked and wicked things, actually daring to 'climb' my ladder! When I see you again, I'll teach you a lesson... Humph!"

"Forget it, I can't be bothered with an annoying person like you! I'd better continue studying my Enlightenment Technique!" With that, Luo Menglan angrily cut off her spying on Chen Xuan.

However, just as she turned to leave, she subconsciously reached out to touch the earrings and hairpins Chen Xuan had given her. These two exquisite pieces of jewelry seemed to carry a special warmth, making her feelings even more complicated.

Although she appeared very angry, her girlish heart was actually pounding wildly and she couldn't calm down.

Especially when she thought about what she had overheard, she felt a strange feeling that she had never experienced before.

Finally, Luo Menglan could only sullenly walk into her room, close the door tightly, and begin her secluded cultivation, trying to calm her inner turmoil by focusing on the study of magic.

However, her slightly reddened little ears betrayed her true feelings, revealing a hint of barely perceptible panic and unease.

To be frank, she only had a tiny bit of affection for Chen Xuan.

However, this was also the first time in her life that she had encountered such a direct expression of "love" from a man, and it could even be said that... it was practically "preordained"!

Faced with such a sudden and unprepared situation, she felt completely lost and even overwhelmed.

If someone likes you, you can't exactly make a move on them, can you? You might suggest beating them up? I already did, it didn't work.

Therefore, she decided to temporarily retreat into seclusion to avoid the current situation that was causing her great distress and embarrassment.

Anyway, Chen Xuan has always been with me, so there shouldn't be any major problems.

After analyzing Luo Menglan, Chen Xuan turned his attention to the grape-shaped pearl she had dropped and the pearl that protected her…

"If you don't accept them, these two are already fully formed and can't be replaced with plants anymore. It's a waste of my four beads..."

"Hey! I've got it!" (You can add the picture yourself)

“Since you won’t accept them, and I have to visit other people later, why don’t I…” Chen Xuan said, releasing his unique life force and pouring it into the four beads.

"No, that Yu Guili seems to be the life force of cultivation, so we can only use this!"

After thinking for a while, Chen Xuan took out his long-unused Qi Luck Peach Blossom and transferred the Qi Luck power contained within it to the pearl.

This thing is a rare find, no matter where you are.

"Well then, it's time for me to visit my new 'good older brother,' and by the way, get to know his childhood sweetheart, my... new sister-in-law."

As Chen Xuan spoke, he picked up the four precious pearls, left the room, and headed to the "Rebirth" Valley where Yu Guili was.

Soon, Chen Xuan, who possessed Luo Menglan's token, arrived at the Valley of Rebirth without any trouble. As soon as he stepped into the valley, he keenly sensed a strange yet gentle aura appearing ahead.

A thought struck him: this might be Xia Chuwei, Gui Li's childhood sweetheart.

Then, Chen Xuan straightened his clothes and walked steadily forward. He saw a graceful and elegant woman in a white brocade dress sitting in the pavilion, holding a book and looking relaxed.

The mature woman sat quietly in the pavilion, like a lotus blooming in the night, exuding a mature and alluring aura.

She wore a moon-white brocade dress, the hem of which flared out slightly, like flowing moonlight, outlining her graceful figure.

A dark purple ribbon was loosely tied around her waist, perfectly accentuating her slender figure. Chen Xuan even felt an urge to go up and untie the ribbon.

In terms of appearance, Xia Chuwei is like a finely carved jade, with eyebrows like distant mountains and slightly upturned eyes that hide a hint of charm.

Her eyes were like a pool of autumn water; with a mere glance, they could captivate the soul.

Pure and lustful.

This is Chen Xuan's assessment of this woman.

As for Xia Chuwei, upon seeing someone from her home, she gently touched the hair behind her ear and looked at Chen Xuan with a puzzled expression.

But Chen Xuan didn't seem to have reacted yet.

Because of Xia Chuwei's unintentional movements, which exuded an indescribable charm amidst elegance, it was as if every gesture she made spoke of her captivating allure, making it impossible to look away.

"Plop! Plop! Plop!"

They looked into each other's eyes, and their heartbeats began to accelerate in unison.
