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

Huang Meihua was clearly unaware of what Chen Xuan was going to do. The moment their hands touched, she was struck dumb, her whole body stiffening.

She didn't know that she hadn't had physical contact with a man for many years. Even a simple "handshake" made Huang Meihua's heart race.

But she did not let go.

Her mortal enemy from her youth was lying inside the house. And she was in the living room, holding hands with him!

This gave her a faint sense of victory that she had never felt in her youth.

Yes, she never had that feeling. Because in her youth, no one had ever beaten her!

On this clear morning, Huang Meihua's heart was beating even faster.

Looking at Chen Xuan's handsome face, she suddenly felt that this young man was so alluring.

To Huang Meihua, Chen Xuan's smile was so captivating that her eyes gradually became misty, and a blush seemed to rise at the corners of her eyes.

She became even more jealous of Zhao Lingwu.

It took a long time for her to react.

Huang Meihua looked at her hands, a subtle change flashing in her eyes. She pulled her hand back from Chen Xuan's, picked up the small jade bottle on the table, and a look of anticipation appeared on her face.

"Young Master Chen, what's inside?"

"This is..." Chen Xuan hesitated for a moment, then said, "This is my specially made Marrow Cleansing Pill. It has a very good conditioning effect on the body of cultivators. Just take one pill and your body will be completely renewed, and your cultivation will be smoother in the future."

"Then... then can this pill also make me advance by leaps and bounds?" A hint of eagerness flashed in Huang Meihua's eyes.

"This..." Chen Xuan hesitated.

In fact, he didn't have such an effective marrow cleansing pill at all; he just made up a reason on the spot, but he didn't expect Huang Meihua to believe it.

"Sister Huang... Sister Huang, if you want it..."

"It's not impossible, but the effects of this pill aren't as miraculous as you imagine. It can only make your cultivation smoother." Chen Xuan began to make things up.

"It's okay! As long as it works, that's fine!" Huang Meihua nodded quickly.

"However... the production cost of this pill is extremely high. It takes me a long time to make one, so I can only give you one this time. In the future, I will make more for you when I have time," Chen Xuan continued to deceive him.

Huang Meihua looked at the small jade bottle in her hand, her eyes flashing with indescribable emotions.

She looked at Chen Xuan, smiled and nodded: "Then thank you very much, Young Master Chen. If I can really break through, I will never forget your kindness!"

"You're too kind, sister-in-law. We're all family, it's only right that we help each other out," Chen Xuan said with a smile.

"Yes, we're all one family!"

"..."

“Alright then, I won’t bother Young Master Chen any longer.” Huang Meihua nodded and then left Chen Xuan’s courtyard.

"Okay, take care, sister-in-law."

Watching Huang Meihua leave, Chen Xuan breathed a sigh of relief. He was really afraid that Huang Meihua would continue to ask questions, and then he wouldn't know how to answer.

However, he had a premonition that Huang Meihua wouldn't give up so easily. But it didn't matter; he had just tested her, and the result... was quite intriguing.

If the "right" location comes next time, he won't hold back.

Then, Chen Xuan went into the inner room.

"She's gone," Zhao Lingwu asked lazily, lying on the bed.

"Let's go. Honestly, people come to visit and you don't even come out to greet them!" Chen Xuan reached out and pinched her cheek.

"Pah, pah, pah! It's all your fault! I've only been married to you for two or three days, and you've already...!"

"So what if I do that?" Chen Xuan said with a mischievous grin.

"You're ganging up with that girl Wenwen to bully me!" Zhao Lingwu stood up, giving Chen Xuan a reproachful look, her charm instantly captivating.

"What I did wasn't bullying you at all; it was clearly guiding you to cultivate properly. Can you honestly say that your current cultivation level hasn't wavered?"

"I never expected you to have this kind of constitution! I've been traveling through the Mountain and Sea Realm for so long, and I've never heard of anything like it!"

"How about that? Isn't your husband amazing?" Chen Xuan chuckled and pulled her into his arms.

"Hmph! I... we're just buddies. I won't..."

"Stop, stop, stop! My memory seems to be a bit off. Who exactly lost to me yesterday, calling me 'my good husband' all the time? Was it Wenwen?"

Zhao Lingwu's face instantly turned red.

"Chen Xuan! You just wait, wait, wait until I break through, I will definitely get my revenge and beat you to a pulp!"

Chen Xuan tightened his embrace and laughed heartily, "Alright, then I'll wait for that day. But until then, you'd better cooperate with me obediently, or you'll bear the consequences!"

Zhao Lingwu bit her lip and glared helplessly at Chen Xuan: "You really think you're some kind of unparalleled master, able to bully me however you want? Don't forget, I am..."

Chen Xuan interrupted her: "But what? Are you my wife? Hahahaha!"

"...I am a Golden Core cultivator!"

"Even if you are a Golden Core cultivator, I will still bully you mercilessly!"

"嘤咛!"

……

"Ding, unfolding..."

"Ding, okay."

"Hey, is Wenwen's surname Chen? Why didn't she tell me? I'm going to give her a good beating tonight!"

Chen Xuan then browsed the system shop again and found that he couldn't afford anything.

The Destiny Points he's accumulated over the past few days are simply not enough to last!

He simply switched to a basic version of the Shrinking Earth to an Inch technique and a basic version of the Tao Te Ching, and it cost him tens of thousands of yuan. Then he switched to a tracking and positioning compass, and his wallet was emptier than his face.

"Ding, the host has already activated the lottery system. Would you like to participate in the lottery?"

"Oh right, I completely forgot about that! What's in the prize pool?"

"The prize pool is not searchable. Each draw costs 1000 Destiny Points. Do you wish to participate?"

"Come on."

"Ding, thank you for your patronage."

Chen Xuan: "??????"

"No, you even talk about 'air extraction'?"

"Ding! This system offers generous rewards, and we are honest and fair to all."

"Keep pumping!"

"Ding, thank you for your patronage."

"I refuse to believe it, let's try again!"

"Ding, thank you for your patronage."

"..."

Chen Xuan immediately started playing the clapper.

P.S.: It's almost Chinese New Year, and I'll probably be visiting relatives these days, so updates might be less frequent. I hope you'll understand! Thank you so much! Finally, I wish everyone a Happy Chinese New Year's Eve!
