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

"You dare talk nonsense! You dare talk nonsense! Chen Xuan is my friend, I know his character best, he's not someone you can slander at will. If you dare say that again, next time it won't be just a slap!" Yun Ziling said coldly.

Being beaten in public once again, Duan Fei's face turned pale and then red. He was about to retort when he met Yun Ziling's warning gaze, and he swallowed the words that were on the tip of his tongue.

"Ziling, I was just saying that, why are you so angry?"

"Enough with the nonsense, kneel down!"

"Thump!" Duan Fei knelt down without saying a word. Anyway, it was his wife he was kneeling to, so it was no big deal.

Seeing this from afar, Lin Feng glanced at Long Qingwan beside him and suddenly felt an urge to kneel down.

Even Yu Guili couldn't help but feel a little tempted when he saw Duan Fei's actions.

“They all come here in pairs, and I’m all alone. Fine, Xia Chuwei, you’re doing very well! Since that’s the case, then when I return from the ruins, I will personally kneel down and marry Ning Xinyou in front of everyone!”

Neither of them felt anything was wrong with themselves; they simply agreed that Duan Fei was currently making them somewhat envious.

They even wanted to try the "pleasure" of restraint!

"I'm sorry I'm late, I've kept you all waiting." Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw Chen Xuan striding towards them.

The moment Yun Ziling saw Chen Xuan, her eyes lit up and a bright smile bloomed on her face. She abandoned Duan Fei, who was still kneeling on the ground, and ran towards Chen Xuan like a happy little deer, throwing herself into his arms.

"Brother Chen Xuan, you...you've finally arrived! I've been waiting for you for so long!" Yun Ziling hugged Chen Xuan tightly, her voice full of joy.

"Xiao Yun, you've come to my place too!" Chen Xuan reached out and patted the girl's head when he saw Yun Ziling.

Upon witnessing this scene, Duan Fei's eyes widened in fury, a surge of anger rising from the depths of his heart to his head. He abruptly stood up, pointed at Chen Xuan, and began to hurl insults:

"Chen Xuan, you bastard! How dare you hug and kiss me right in front of me? What do you take me for?"

But Yun Ziling waved her hand dismissively, looked at the furious Duan Fei, and said:

"Duan Fei, what do you mean by this? Chen Xuan and I have a brother-sister relationship. Why are you so angry?"

As she spoke, her face turned cold: "Also, the way you were slandering Chen Xuan just now really made me angry." As soon as she finished speaking, Yun Ziling walked up to Duan Fei and slapped him across the face with a "smack".

Duan Fei staggered from the blow, almost falling over. He covered his burning face and looked at Yun Ziling in disbelief, his eyes filled with grievance and anger.

"What, looking at you, you good-for-nothing, you want to attack me?" Yun Ziling stared at Chen Xuan.

"I dare not, my wife's status is supreme!" Duan Fei bowed his head.

He didn't see that when he said those words, Yu Guili and Lin Feng's eyes lit up.

"The wife's status is supreme! This...this...such a profound truth was actually uttered by that brat Duan Fei first!"

"This...this is brilliant! How can it be so brilliant!" Lin Feng exclaimed inwardly.

Yun Ziling, still not satisfied after beating Duan Fei, turned to Chen Xuan and said angrily, "Brother Chen Xuan, that good-for-nothing just said those things to you, why don't you slap him too and vent your anger!"

Chen Xuan was slightly taken aback, his face showing difficulty. He waved his hand and said, "Ziling, let's just let this matter drop. Brother Duan may have made a mistake unintentionally, and he is now my good brother. Why make things difficult for him?"

Yun Ziling, however, was relentless. Her eyebrows furrowed, and she scolded, "Brother Chen Xuan, don't be soft-hearted. He humiliated you like that, how can you let him off so easily!"

After saying that, she grabbed Chen Xuan's arm, placed it on her ( ), and gently shook it, her eyes full of expectation.

Duan Fei covered his face, his heart filled with mixed emotions. He looked up at Yun Ziling and saw her angry expression. As if possessed, he said:

"Chen Xuan, since Zi Ling insists, then hit me as an apology for what happened earlier!"

He thought to himself that as long as he could make Yun Ziling happy, what did it matter if he suffered some physical pain? His love was so deep that he was willing to do so.

Furthermore, he possessed the cultivation of an Immortal King, while Chen Xuan was merely a piece of trash; how could he possibly inflict any real damage on him?

Upon hearing this, Lin Feng and Yu Guili exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with shock.

Lin Feng couldn't help but praise, "Brother Duan, you are truly a great man! To win a smile from a beautiful woman, you are willing to lower yourself. Such heroism is rare in this world!"

Yu Guili nodded in agreement: "Yes, to endure humiliation for the sake of one's beloved, Brother Duan's deep affection is truly admirable! Brother Duan, a true man!"

"Yeah, you two are such scumbags." Chen Xuan thought to himself.

"Alas!" Chen Xuan sighed softly, "Brother Duan, I apologize." After speaking, he slowly raised his hand, which seemed light and airy, yet carried an invisible force.

With a "smack," it hit Duan Fei's face.

This palm strike, though seemingly light, caused Duan Fei's blood and qi to surge, his steps to falter, and a trace of blood to spill from the corner of his mouth.

"This... Brother Duan, you didn't even use your immortal power to protect yourself! You... you're the real man!" Yu Guili exclaimed in amazement.

Because he also felt that Duan Fei couldn't possibly not use his immortal power to protect himself.

"Ahem! No, that's right. My wife's order is the decree of Heaven, so naturally I won't use my immortal power to protect myself!"

Seeing the crowd of onlookers, Duan Fei could only swallow his anger and resentment.

He endured the pain, looked up at Yun Ziling, and saw a hint of satisfaction on her face, which made him feel a surge of joy.

"Ziling, are you calmed down now?" he asked softly, his voice trembling slightly.

Looking at the bloodstains at the corner of Duan Fei's mouth, Yun Ziling felt a pang of dissatisfaction: "Brother Chen Xuan, why were you so lenient with him! You're still too good to him!"

"puff!"

Duan Fei, who was already seething with anger, finally couldn't take it anymore. He spat out a mouthful of blood and lay stiffly on the ground.

"Ding! The chosen one of destiny, Duan Fei, has lost his composure. The host is rewarded with 50000 Destiny Points and 50 lottery draws!"

"Hmph, don't think you can get away with playing dead. Brother Chen Xuan is busy this time, so I'll let you off this time. But if you dare to talk nonsense again in the future, I won't let you off easily!"

After saying that, Yun Ziling turned around and took Chen Xuan's arm. "Brother Chen Xuan, let's go over there and catch up. Let's not pay any more attention to this good-for-nothing."

"Ding! Duan Fei, the chosen one of destiny, has suffered a mental breakdown. Reward: 66666 Destiny Points! 66 chances to draw a prize!"

Seeing this, Chen Xuan smiled slightly and pulled Yun Ziling aside.

Seeing this, everyone shook their heads and smiled wryly. This farce made the atmosphere among them quite awkward.

As Duan Fei watched Yun Ziling and Chen Xuan's departing figures, he felt a sense of resentment, but even more so, a deep longing for Yun Ziling.

He secretly vowed that he would work harder in the future so that Yun Ziling would look at him differently.
