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

Just as he said, after he completed his tribulation, all the guests present stared at him intently, especially the female guests.

Even Shi Meitong, who was chasing Duan Fei, stopped what she was doing and stared blankly at Chen Xuan, feeling her heart start to race.

When she saw Chen Xuan's gaze fall upon her, she blushed and lowered her head.

"Is this the chosen one of heaven? Even the Celestial Immortal Realm has such a terrifying tribulation, yet he passed it so easily... If my Yun family had such a genius as a son-in-law..." Yun Ziling stared at Chen Xuan in the air, momentarily stunned.

Similarly, Shi Meitong and Yun Ziling were not the only ones who were stunned at the scene; many other ladies and young women of all ages who had come to attend the banquet were also there.

The only exception was a woman on the high-rise building, who was none other than Ning Xinyou.

However, she looked quite happy.

Ning Xinyou looked at Yu Guili beside her with great joy and said enthusiastically:

"Congratulations, Brother Guili! I never expected that you would gain such a talented person at such a time. His name is Chen Xuan, right? With this successful tribulation, his strength will surely increase greatly. After we get married... this force will have more confidence in this vast cultivation world."

She clasped her hands together in front of her, her face beaming with undisguised joy, and her eyes filled with even more intense admiration.

However, Yu Guili's face instantly darkened, and a hint of undisguised jealousy and resentment flashed in his eyes.

He snorted coldly, a hint of disdain on his lips, his tone full of contempt: "Hmph, Chen Xuan is just lucky. The tribulation of the Celestial Immortal Realm looks terrifying, but who knows what underhanded methods he used to barely survive it. This kind of person is not worthy of being mentioned in public."

Upon hearing this, Ning Xinyou's face flashed with surprise. She subconsciously frowned, her tone tinged with confusion, and said:

“Brother Guili, what you said is a bit inappropriate. Chen Xuan was able to successfully overcome the tribulation in front of everyone, which must be due to his real skills. Everyone saw with their own eyes that his composure when facing the lightning tribulation was something that ordinary people could not do.”

Yu Guili waved his hand impatiently, "Xinyou, you're still too naive. You've been fooled by his temporary appearance. I've been struggling on the path of cultivation for so many years, and I've seen all kinds of people. He's just taking advantage of his youth and some opportunities to become arrogant. This kind of person will definitely suffer a great loss in the future because of his arrogance."

"But we still have him, don't we? As long as we nurture him properly, he'll surely succeed in the future..."

Upon hearing this, Yu Guili's expression grew even more unpleasant. He clenched his fists tightly, and his eyes burned with intense jealousy.

He just inexplicably disliked Chen Xuan, and he didn't know why. Hearing his chosen woman still speaking up for Chen Xuan, he felt incredibly angry.

"Hmph, what do you know! It's all just for show. I think he's just trying to show off in front of everyone, especially the women. They're all completely infatuated with his little tricks."

Take Yun Meitong and Yun Ziling from the Yun family, for example. They're usually so arrogant, but now they've lost all sense of propriety because of that brat Chen Xuan. And those vulgar women at the banquet—they were utterly disrespectful.”

Looking at Yu Guili's somewhat distorted face, Ning Xinyou couldn't help but feel a strange sensation. She had always regarded the man in front of her as her hero, but now, his way of slandering others made her feel somewhat unfamiliar with him.

But her years of admiration quickly suppressed this strange feeling, and she said softly, "Brother Guili, you are definitely better than him. It's just that Young Master Chen Xuan is, after all, our subordinate. He did perform exceptionally well this time, and we can't completely ignore his existence. As long as we train him properly, he still can..."

Yu Guili had no interest in listening to what Ning Xinyou said next. He was just staring intently at Chen Xuan, secretly plotting how to overshadow him and get everyone's attention back on him.

"Cultivate? My purpose here is to elevate my status! Now, I see he's here to steal my thunder. If this continues, who will care about me, Yu Guili? I've painstakingly built this up over many years; how can I let some greenhorn easily take it all away?"

……

Meanwhile, Chen Xuan, who had just survived his tribulation and was still sensing his own energy, suddenly heard cursing from beside him.

Chen Xuan raised an eyebrow slightly and looked in the direction of the sound. He saw Duan Fei, dressed in a guard uniform, jumping up and down and cursing at him like a pufferfish that had been enraged.

Yun Ziling's gaze hadn't left this boy since he started his tribulation, which made the Dragon King blush a little.

Moreover, none of the women in the room ever looked away!

"You wild brat who appeared out of nowhere, you only managed to survive the lightning tribulation by luck, yet you dare to swagger around here. Don't you even know your own worth!"

Hearing the harsh curses, the people around them all looked on in surprise. The atmosphere, which had just been filled with the shock of Chen Xuan's tribulation, was instantly broken by this sudden farce.

Seeing her husband's loss of composure, Yun Ziling felt a flash of embarrassment and displeasure, and her brows furrowed tightly.

Similarly, Shi Meitong, who was still immersed in her amazement at Chen Xuan, was interrupted by Duan Fei's sudden cursing. Her eyebrows furrowed, her eyes widened, and she shouted angrily:

"Duan Fei, what's wrong with you! Shut up!" With that, she flashed and instantly appeared in front of Duan Fei.

"You damned son-in-law, shut your mouth!" Shi Meitong roared, raising her hand to slap him across the face. The crisp sound of the slap echoed clearly in the silent space.

Duan Fei was swayed by the slap, and a bright red handprint quickly appeared on his face.

He stared at Shi Meitong in disbelief, covering his burning cheek, and stammered, "Mother...you...why did you hit me?"

"You good-for-nothing! Who's your mother? If you dare to talk nonsense again, I'll make sure Ling'er divorces you! Anyway, our Ling'er is still pure and innocent, untouched by any corruption!" Shi Meitong glared at Duan Fei and said.

Duan Fei covered his swollen face, his eyes filled with anger and disdain. He hadn't expected his mother-in-law to hit him so hard for an outsider. "Mother-in-law, you...you actually hit me for him! Do you know who I am? I am..."

Upon hearing this, Yun Ziling quickly stepped forward, her face frosty as she looked at Duan Fei. With a "slap," she delivered a fatal blow to his face, before coldly saying:

"Duan Fei, I can't believe we've been married for so long and you're still daydreaming! You've disappointed me so much. If it weren't for the fact that you've served the Yun family like a slave for so many years, I would have made you pay for this offense against Young Master Chen!"
