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

"What are you spacing out for! Is it the type you were talking about? This, this took me so long to... to finally make!"

Seeing Chen Xuan in a daze, a hint of joy flashed in Shi Meitong's eyes.

Chen Xuan didn't answer; he just stared blankly at himself, which already spoke volumes.

"Hey! Don't pull me like that, my hair's all messed up..."

After Shi Meitong uttered a complaint, there was no further sound from inside the room.

……

Finally, after several days, the long yet short banquet came to an end, and Chen Xuan and Yu Guili were about to embark on their journey home.

However, due to the close relationship between Chen Xuan and the Yun family these past two days, Chen Xuan will be leaving with Shi Meitong, the matriarch of the Yun family, while Yu Guili will be leaving with Duan Fei.

The place where the Yun family lives.

Shi Meitong wore a light purple gown, her figure still graceful and charming, like a beautiful flower blooming in spring.

Yun Ziling, dressed in a moon-white long dress, walked quickly toward Shi Meitong, her eyes filled with reluctance. "( ), I've never been separated from you since I was a child! Now that you're leaving, I don't know when we'll meet again."

As she spoke, her eyes reddened slightly, and her voice became choked with emotion.

Shi Meitong gently held Yun Ziling's hand and said softly, "You silly girl, is this really necessary? I'm just going out for a few days to discuss some things. Look at what you're saying, it's like I'm not coming back!"

"Hmph, I'll say it, I'll say it. Also, when you get to Brother Chen Xuan's place, remember... remember... tell him! He... he hasn't been talking to me these past few days!"

"Alright, you silly girl, I think you're just pretending to be reluctant to part with me, but you really are just trying to remind me, aren't you?" Shi Meitong poked Yun Ziling's forehead speechlessly.

"Oh, no!" Yun Ziling said coquettishly.

At this moment, Duan Fei walked over from afar, his clothes slightly disheveled, his hair a bit messy, and he was humming an off-key tune as he walked.

When Yun Ziling saw him, she immediately frowned and pouted, saying, "Duan Fei, you're always so unkempt. Even if I don't say anything, you're always so dirty. I don't know how Yu Guili can stand you."

Upon hearing this, Shi Meitong covered her mouth and chuckled, echoing, "Who says otherwise? I really hope he doesn't cause any trouble on the road, otherwise Yu Guili and my Yun family will have a real headache."

Now, having received a great deal of water from Chen Xuan, she had long lost the "shrewishness" she had at first sight.

Besides, Duan Fei is a very dirty person; hitting him will only dirty your own hands.

As the two were talking, Duan Fei walked up to them, completely oblivious to the two women's disdain for him, and greeted them with a grin:

"Oh, Ling'er, you're seeing me off so early? What are you two chatting about that makes you so happy?" Yun Ziling rolled her eyes at him disdainfully, then turned her head away and ignored him.

"Alright, you go to Yu Guili's place first. I'll be there in a bit. You good-for-nothing son-in-law, you're not worthy to come with me! I really don't know what Yu Guili thinks about you that you have so much potential!"

Shi Meitong waved her hand dismissively, sending Duan Fei away.

Upon hearing this, Duan Fei didn't say much more. After spouting a bunch of greasy words, he finally left.

The main problem is that it's just the two of them here, so they have nowhere to go to show off. Why don't they go see Yu Guili so they can really show off a bit?

Watching Duan Fei leave, Yun Ziling turned her gaze back to Shi Meitong, and upon seeing her, she was slightly taken aback.

At this moment, Shi Meitong's skin was as white as snow, and her eyes were bright and lively. Time seemed to have left no trace on her face. Instead, it made her exude a unique charm. Her girlishness from the inside out was even stronger than that of herself.

"This, ( ) sir, I didn't look closely, but... what's wrong with you these past few days? You've become even younger and more beautiful, you look even more like a young girl than me." Yun Ziling said with amazement.

Upon hearing this, Shi Meitong was slightly taken aback, then her pretty face flushed slightly as she reached out and gently stroked her cheek: "Ziling, your words are as sweet as honey. I'm just in a different state of mind right now. I have no worries in my heart, and... naturally I look more energetic."

"No, there must be some secret to it, sir. You can't keep it a secret, tell me quickly."

Looking at Yun Ziling's inquisitive expression, Shi Meitong felt increasingly overwhelmed: "What, what secret is there? It's just about maintaining an optimistic and open-minded attitude. No, I can't talk to you anymore. I have to go to Chen Xuan's place. I need to discuss with the person behind him about joining his faction."

As Shi Meitong spoke, she tried to slip away, but as soon as she stepped out the door, she bumped into Chen Xuan.

"Huh?! Chen, Chen Xuan? Did you come to pick me up?"

"Of course, mine...?" Before Chen Xuan could finish speaking, Shi Meitong covered his mouth.

"Alright, there are still people here. Let's wait until we get back!"

"Oh? You have things you're afraid of? I thought you didn't have anyone you cared about anymore!"

"Get out of here! Speak properly! People have been preparing for you for 10 months, and you're still making sarcastic remarks!" Shi Meitong retorted.

After all, after several days of guided cultivation, everything she owned now belonged to Chen Xuan, so she became somewhat wild in some ways.

However, at this moment, Chen Xuan had a handle on her.

"Brother Chen Xuan, what brings you here!"

Seeing the commotion outside, Yun Ziling came out as well, but upon discovering that the visitor was Chen Xuan, she shyly returned to the house.

These past few days, Chen Xuan has been keeping her hanging on, making her so anxious and insecure that she's almost lost herself.

"Wait here for me for a moment, I'll be right back."

After giving instructions to Shi Meitong, Chen Xuan stepped into the house.

Yun Ziling had her back to him, too shy to look at him.

He walked gently behind her, placed his hands tenderly on her shoulders, and whispered, "Ziling, I'm leaving. I came here specifically to tell you."

Yun Ziling stiffened, slowly turned around, her eyes filled with shyness, but her voice trembled: "Yes, I, I know!"

"Then, don't you have anything to say to me?" Chen Xuan placed his hand on Yun Ziling's delicate cheek, gently making her look into his eyes.
