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

"A powerful figure from your clan?" Long Qingwan asked, puzzled.

Lin Rou glanced at her, then took a deep breath and slowly said:

"We, the Tree of Life clan, were born at the beginning of time, nurtured by the chaotic spiritual energy. At that time, the order of the world was unstable, and the spiritual energy was violent. Our existence was to balance the vitality and spiritual energy of this world."

She gazed into the distance, as if recalling ancient times, "Every Tree of Life contains boundless life force, not only protecting the creatures of its region but also purifying the turbid air between heaven and earth. Our ancestors used their own power to save countless races from peril. Therefore, among the many ancient races, our Tree of Life race is highly revered, especially your True Blood Dragon race!"

"I...!" Long Qingwan was about to retort, but then she suddenly realized that with Lin Rou's help, she might be able to conceive for Chen Xuan...

After thinking about it, she didn't argue with Lin Rou much.

"So this is the origin of your Tree of Life clan. How come you've never told me about it before?" Chen Xuan asked.

"I am also fortunate to have my husband."

"Thanks to me?"

“That’s right. It was my husband’s hard work in this immortal realm that helped my cultivation level rise rapidly. When I reached the Golden Immortal realm, I learned about these things from my bloodline inheritance!”

"So that's how it is! Then tell me, is this Immortal Tree of Life in the Immortal Realm the same one that separated you back then?" Chen Xuan guessed.

"No, that's not true." Lin Rou denied it directly.

"Why? How do you know it's not?"

"Because I have some connection with her in some mysterious way, but I lost contact with her a long time ago. But if she is really in the Immortal Realm, I will definitely be able to contact her!"

"I see! But now I don't know whether the so-called Tree of Life here is friend or foe, male or female!"

“Husband, what are you saying! There’s no such thing as a male Tree of Life! I can’t say about other things, but I can be sure it’s female!” Lin Rou said.

"Why? Is there such a saying?"

"This is actually related to our birth and inheritance methods. The birth of the Tree of Life requires the interweaving and fusion of extremely pure spiritual energy of heaven and earth with special laws. And the process of nurturing new life also depends on this pure power."

"Only the gentleness and inclusiveness of women can better suit this process of gestation. Therefore, from the very beginning, our Tree of Life clan has only given birth to women."

"I see!" Chen Xuan stroked his chin with satisfaction and nodded.

Female cultivators are great, he likes female cultivators!

Seeing this side of him, how could Lin Rou not know what was going on in her husband's mind!

"Alright, you're drooling!" Lin Rou suddenly stood up and lightly stepped on Chen Xuan's foot.

Upon hearing this, Chen Xuan quickly wiped the corner of his mouth, only to find that he hadn't actually drooled.

"You little brat, Lin Rou, you even dare to play tricks on your husband! Let's see how I teach you a lesson!" Chen Xuan said, wanting to teach Lin Rou a lesson.

"Hmph, who told you not to think of anything good! Although we are both Trees of Life, I was unable to sense this senior."

“But if your information is true, then I still have a good chance of guessing which senior will leave their mark there!” Lin Rou said seriously.

"Oh? Where would she leave her footprints?"

"Naturally, that's where the life force is most abundant! And if my senses are correct, that place should be the very core of this ruin!"

"Then what are we waiting for? Let's get going!"

The three hurriedly arrived at the core of the ruins, where the life force was most abundant. They found that the place was already surrounded by a dense crowd of cultivators, who surged like a tide, and noisy discussions rose and fell.

Chen Xuan frowned upon seeing this.

"Why are there so many people here? Do they all have definite information that there's a Tree of Life here?"

"not necessarily."

"This is the core of this ruin, so what it contains should be more than just information about the Tree of Life."

"What does my husband mean?"

"That's right, there must be other treasures here! The Tree of Life is very likely just an added bonus! And even if the cultivators here are lucky enough to get her information, they will most likely fail to seize the opportunity due to their own insufficient strength!"

"So the people here are more likely to want other treasures!"

Lin Rou's gaze swept across the crowd, and she asked in confusion, "But what treasures are still hidden in these ruins that would attract so many cultivators to gather here despite the dangers?"

Long Qingwan frowned slightly, pondered for a moment, and said, "I've heard that this ruin was left by an ancient powerful being. Besides the clues to the Immortal Tree of Life, there might also be top-tier magic treasures, peerless cultivation techniques, or even rare and precious materials that can help one break through realms, and... the power of laws!"

"If that's how it is, then everything makes sense. But right now, it seems the trial at these ruins hasn't even begun yet..."

"Chen Xuan! Aunt?! You're here too!"

Before Chen Xuan could finish speaking, he heard Lin Feng shout.

The three looked back and found that he had successfully reunited with Yu Guili, and the two were waiting for the trial to begin.

"Damn, big brother! You two are here pretty early too!" Chen Xuan strode forward and patted Lin Feng on the shoulder.

Looking at Long Qingwan, who was even more charming and mature than before, he couldn't help but laugh heartily:

"Of course! How could Brother Guili and I miss such a lively event!"

"Come here, this is Lin Rou, my wife. Don't underestimate her just because she's a woman. Her strength is not to be underestimated."

Upon hearing this, Lin Feng's eyes lit up instantly, and his face was filled with a warm smile: "It's an honor to meet Miss Lin today!"

Lin Rou didn't even lift her eyelids when she heard this.

From the moment this person called Long Qingwan "Auntie," she knew that Chen Xuan had his eye on her.

And once Chen Xuan sets his sights on you...

"Forget it, it's pointless. You can call me again when it really matters!" Lin Rou said to Chen Xuan, and her figure turned into specks of light and disappeared.

Even Yu Guili couldn't help but widen his eyes at the scene.

Even he couldn't figure out how Lin Rou left.

“It seems that Chen Xuan must not be allowed to live! In just a few months, he has already climbed to this level, and even has the favor of an Immortal Venerable and such an extraordinary woman…” Yu Guili looked at Chen Xuan, his eyes narrowed, filled with killing intent.

He then interrupted the conversation:

"Alright, the trial is about to begin. You can talk about it when you get back. It's best to prepare now so you don't hold me back!" Yu Guili said before leaving.
