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

"Do you think we really have to do this? What if we get caught..." someone asked uncertainly.

"What nonsense are you spouting? Did Chen Xuan give you some kind of benefit? Why are you so afraid of this and that!"

"That's right. We were just spies planted by the Gao family. If we're exposed, it just means we'll either go back to the Gao family or go elsewhere to lay low for a while. It's no big deal!"

"Sigh, I never expected that he would actually use us just because of a nobody like Chen Xuan. It's such a waste of talent!"

"Alright, now is the best opportunity. Zhao Lingwu has gone out, so it's the perfect time for us to make our move! Let's do it! Remember, don't harm her in the slightest; she has other uses for her!"

"Yes!"

……

At this moment, Chen Xuan was meditating in the cultivation room when he suddenly felt the protective formation in the courtyard activate automatically.

And along with it came a series of exotic fragrances.

"This is the Illusionary Dream Powder?! Someone's trying to harm me!"

"I claimed to have no cultivation, yet they used the Illusionary Dream Powder. It seems they didn't intend to harm me. Anyway, I can enter the secret realm at any time, so I might as well play along..."

After a rapid thought, Chen Xuan took out a pill, swallowed it, and then shut down the formation, pretending to faint.

Soon, two or three masked men in black entered. Although it was quite abrupt in broad daylight, none of the Zhao family noticed them.

"I didn't expect the formation in that courtyard to be so difficult to deal with. Luckily, we got out quickly, otherwise we would have been delayed!"

"Really, did we really come out like this? I feel like I just suddenly appeared out of nowhere!?"

"Alright, time is of the essence, hurry up and get started! Just tie him up and take him to the place that person mentioned!" the leader urged.

The three men in black then quickly tied Chen Xuan up. Considering he was an ordinary person, they did not use their spiritual power to seal his acupoints.

Then they blindfolded Chen Xuan with a black cloth, quickly took him away from the courtyard, and flew away from the Zhao family.

Chen Xuan appeared unconscious, but he was actually sensing the direction the man in black was leading him. He wanted to find out who was plotting against him, and Qin Feng was the most likely culprit.

After all, Qin Feng was his only enemy here. If he dared to have someone tie him up, he wouldn't mind performing a ritual to help him pass on to the afterlife!

The man in black led Chen Xuan to a remote cave. Chen Xuan felt that the surrounding environment was very damp, and the air was filled with moisture and a fishy smell.

Inside the cave, a dignified-looking old man was already waiting.

"Have you brought everyone?" the old man asked coldly, his tone deep.

"Yes, sir, we have brought Chen Xuan here," the man in black replied respectfully.

The old man nodded: "Well done!" Then he waved for the man in black to leave.

After the men in black left, the old man looked Chen Xuan up and down, a hint of surprise in his eyes.

"This kid clearly has no cultivation, so why is he being valued so highly by that... noble person? Is it because they see his talent? Or is there another reason?"

The old man thought about it for a while, but couldn't come up with anything. He decided to take Chen Xuan to the designated location first.

After all, that person has a very fiery personality, and if he acts slowly, he will most likely be punished by her.

So he waved his hand, and a powerful spiritual force lifted Chen Xuan up, carrying him swiftly towards a distant mountain peak.

Chen Xuan sensed the old man's spiritual energy fluctuations and was secretly surprised: "This old man's cultivation is probably quite extraordinary. No wonder he dared to make a move on the Zhao family's territory!"

Chen Xuan pondered how to deal with the old man while secretly observing his surroundings.

The old man led Chen Xuan to a mountain peak, where there was a huge cave.

There were two guards standing watch in front of the cave.

"My lord!" The guard bowed respectfully to the old man.

The old man nodded and handed Chen Xuan to the guard: "Take him inside and hand him over to that important person. I have other things to do."

The guard took Chen Xuan and led him into the cave.

Soon after, Chen Xuan was led to a secret room.

Then he felt a surge of energy within himself, and then suddenly everything became clear. The surrounding environment became filled with birdsong and fragrant flowers, and the mountains and rivers were beautiful.

Furthermore, the spiritual energy is abundant, making it clearly a treasure land for cultivation.

"This is... a secret realm?"

Chen Xuan was shocked. He hadn't expected that the so-called benefactor would actually bring him to the secret realm! Her identity was now obvious!

It's Zhou Jingyi!

I never expected this little girl to be so petty, daring to kidnap me to the secret realm. This time I'll teach her a lesson she won't forget!

After the guards led him into the secret realm, and after several twists and turns, they arrived at an extremely luxurious place, where he was then thrown into the dungeon.

Before long, a figure slowly appeared before him. Immediately afterwards, a woman's alluring voice reached his ears.

"I didn't expect you to fall for it so easily. I thought you were so amazing!"

Chen Xuan opened his eyes and saw the woman in front of him clearly.

This woman was stunningly beautiful, with eyes that seemed to bewitch and captivate. She had a graceful figure and wore a golden palace dress that perfectly showcased her figure.

This woman was none other than Princess Gao Yueting.

"Princess Gao, your Illusionary Dream Powder is indeed powerful. I've truly witnessed its power this time!" Chen Xuan smiled slightly, appearing completely unconcerned.

Upon seeing this, Gao Yueting's beautiful eyes flashed with a hint of surprise.

"You know I had you kidnapped, aren't you afraid I'll harm you?"

Chen Xuan smiled and shook his head: "Do you think you'll let me go if I cry and beg you?"

"will not."

"That settles it then. Your Highness, you only ordered me to be tied up and did not harm me. So I guess I still have value to you."

"I must say, you are indeed quite clever. But what makes you think I would spare your life and negotiate with you?" Gao Yueting looked at Chen Xuan with interest, seemingly trying to see through his thoughts.

"You've gone to such great lengths, offending the Xuan Yang Sect and the Zhao family, just to kill me? If you really wanted to kill me, you could have done it right there at the Zhao family. Why go through all this trouble!"

Chen Xuan smiled calmly.

Upon hearing this, Gao Yueting smiled slightly:

"You're quite clever, but you can't blame me for it. Who told you to stand out so much in the Zhao family? It's hard for us not to notice you, Zhao Lingwu's little man!"

"So, what exactly does the Princess want me to do?"

"Do you want to know?"

"of course."

Gao Yueting waved her hand, dismissing the attendants who had followed her, leaving only the two of them in the dungeon.

Then she suddenly leaned closer to Chen Xuan, her breath sweet as orchids: "Because, I'm also very curious about you, and..."
