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

"Alright, it's getting late, I should go back and continue my cultivation," Chen Wenwen said coldly.

"Well, I should be going now, Brother Chen. I'm entrusting Wenwen to you! I trust you completely with her in my care!"

"Alright, Brother Tianming, take care! Wenwen is with me, and I will definitely take good care of her, so don't worry!"

Zhao Tianming nodded, then turned and left.

Watching Zhao Tianming walk away, Chen Wenwen then grabbed one of Chen Xuan's arms and pinched the soft flesh on his waist hard.

"Hey, what are you doing, Wenwen?" Chen Xuan put his arm around her waist and took a deep breath.

"Hmph, husband, you're so naughty, you insist on making me cooperate with you!"

"Hehe, isn't this just a unique form of entertainment between us as a couple? Come on, when we get back, your husband will reward you handsomely!"

"Hmph, who, who wants your reward! You, you just want to hear a duet!"

"It's all because my wife has such a beautiful voice; I just love listening to songs!"

……

The two voices faded into the distance until they entered the house, at which point a "plop" sound came from the opposite courtyard.

It's Huang Meihua.

She plopped down on the ground, leaning against the gate of her yard, panting as she processed the information she had just received.

"That Zhao Wenwen, just because Chen Xuan has some peculiar hobbies, actually cooperated with Chen Xuan to deceive Zhao Tianming! She, she really is Chen Xuan's concubine!"

"I knew it! Chen Xuan sometimes looks at me with such... fierce eyes. Zhao Wenwen is so beautiful, how could he possibly let her go!"

"And he actually managed to subdue Zhao Lingwu and get her and Zhao Wenwen to sing for him!" Huang Yuehua suddenly felt a tickle all over her body.

What surprised her most, however, was Chen Xuan's method of guiding people in cultivation! He was able to help Chen Wenwen advance two levels in just a few days, reaching the third level of the Foundation Establishment stage!

If he could still instruct Zhao Lingwu like that...

Huang Meihua didn't dare to think any further. If Chen Xuan could really help her break through, then the world in Zhoudu would be completely changed, and even the entire Zhou Kingdom would be under the Zhao family name!

She and Zhao Lingwu were of the same generation, but because she lacked cultivation talent, the gap between them was so enormous! Their status was so different, their cultivation levels were so different, and their husbands… were even more so!

If she could also be guided by Chen Xuan... she might have a chance to break through to the Golden Core stage in this lifetime!

Thinking of this, a bitter smile suddenly appeared on her face, her heart filled with envy and...jealousy towards Zhao Lingwu!

She leaned against the door, staring blankly at the sky, her eyes filled with confusion and helplessness, which were unknowingly covered with tears.

"No, I'm not resigned to this! This might be my only chance in this life! I have to find a way to get Chen Xuan to help me improve my strength!" Huang Meihua thought to herself as she stood up and returned to her room.

She first calmed herself down, then began to think about how to get Chen Xuan to help her improve her strength. After thinking for a while, a smile appeared on her face.

“Although you, Chen Xuan, are exceptionally talented in other areas, you lack real strength. As long as I can get Zhao Lingwu away…” In an instant, an idea sprouted in her mind.

The next day, Huang Meihua, dressed beautifully, arrived at Chen Xuan's courtyard.

"Hey, sister-in-law?! What brings you here?" Chen Xuan was somewhat surprised to see the beautiful Huang Meihua with dark circles under her eyes.

Huang Meihua blushed slightly and said shyly, "Young Master Chen, I had nothing to do today, so I came to visit and bring you some snacks."

She still wanted to talk to Chen Xuan first to see if he could give her some direct guidance. The other method was a bit too extreme, so it was best not to use it if possible.

Chen Xuan was taken aback, looked at the pastries in Huang Meihua's hand, and smiled, "Sister-in-law, you're so thoughtful, please come in!"

After entering the house, Huang Meihua looked at Chen Xuan, smiled slightly, and said, "Where's Ling Wu? Why didn't I see her come out?"

"Oh, she's still sleeping!"

"Huh? I know Ling Wu quite well. Shouldn't she be cultivating at this time? Why is she resting now?"

"Ahem, maybe she's just tired, haha."

"It seems that Young Master Chen is quite skilled; he even defeated our Ling Wu! Truly a promising young man!" Huang Meihua said meaningfully.

Chen Xuan understood instantly.

It's probably because he disturbed the peace last night, and now he's coming over to "tactfully" remind you.

"No, no, sister-in-law, please don't flatter me. I'll definitely be more careful next time!"

"Hehe, Young Master Chen is indeed clever, he understands immediately! However, I did not come for this matter. Rather, I have something I would like to ask for your help with."

Chen Xuan nodded and said, "Please tell me, sister-in-law. I will definitely help as long as it is within my power."

Huang Meihua hesitated for a moment, then said, "Young Master Chen, I would like to ask you to help me improve my strength. I am willing to pay any price as long as you can help me!"

"Enhance strength?" Chen Xuan was puzzled. When did he become able to enhance someone's strength?

"Young Master Chen, there's no need to pretend. I overheard your conversation with Zhao Tianming last night, but I won't tell anyone. I just hope you can give me some pointers!"

"..."

Chen Xuan understood now, but his so-called "guidance" was not guidance in the conventional sense. If he really gave guidance to the beautiful sister-in-law in front of him, the Zhao family would be in chaos!

Besides, this is something that should be discussed in private. You think Zhao Lingwu can't hear you now? How can I agree to that?

"Sister-in-law, actually, this is just a beautiful misunderstanding!"

"What? What do you mean?" Huang Meihua frowned.

"Actually, I gave Wenwen cultivation pills, which is why her cultivation level improved by leaps and bounds. I didn't really give her any guidance."

"Oh? I see. I wonder what kind of pills you used on her, Young Master Chen? She's made such rapid progress in just a few days!"

“This…” Chen Xuan paused for a moment.

He couldn't think of any pill that could have such a good effect. As an alchemist, he had only ever made conventional pills. As long as you mentioned the name, you could immediately understand the effect.

Seeing Chen Xuan hesitate for so long, Huang Meihua already had her answer.

He's lying to himself! He clearly has a method that allows people to break through quickly, but he just won't tell him!

"It's not convenient to disclose this, please forgive me, sister-in-law!"

"It's alright, everyone has their own secrets, I don't mind at all." Huang Meihua deliberately feigned a forlorn expression.

Seeing this, Chen Xuan pulled out a small jade bottle from somewhere. He stepped forward and grabbed Huang Meihua's hand.
