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

Chen Xuan was taken aback at first, then realized that after their last hug, she probably thought they were already a couple, and her current reaction meant she was jealous.

"Menglan, you've been fooled. There's no such thing. There were indeed treasures in those ruins, but we didn't steal them. As for harassing Zi'er, that's utter nonsense. Zi'er and I are deeply in love; how could there be any harassment involved?"

The Purple Spirit Goddess now understood the gist of the matter. She stepped forward, took Chen Xuan's arm, and said with a proud expression:

“Luo Menglan, Chen Xuan is right. He and I are truly in love. It was your two subordinates who had ulterior motives and betrayed Chen Xuan, which is why I taught them a lesson.”

The Purple Spirit Goddess's beautiful eyes sparkled, filled with deep affection for Chen Xuan.

"This...how is this possible? How could you fall for this big idiot, this womanizer..." Luo Menglan muttered to herself, her gaze shifting back and forth between Chen Xuan and the Purple Spirit Goddess, as if trying to find a flaw in their expressions.

"Menglan, calm down." Chen Xuan stepped forward, wanting to comfort Luo Menglan, but she dodged him.

"Don't touch me! I don't want to talk to you right now!" Luo Menglan said loudly, her voice choked with sobs.

"You think I can just say I won't touch you? Don't I have any pride?" Chen Xuan said, stepping forward and grabbing Luo Menglan's small hand.

The latter struggled a few times, but finding that he couldn't break free, he could only let Chen Xuan do as he pleased.

Chen Xuan held Luo Menglan's small hand tightly, a roguish smile on his face, completely ignoring her embarrassed and angry expression.

Luo Menglan was both angry and anxious. Her cheeks were as red as ripe apples, and her eyes were full of anger, but she couldn't break free from Chen Xuan's hand.

"Chen Xuan, you...you've gone too far!" Luo Menglan stomped her foot in anger, her voice trembling slightly for some unknown reason.

But Chen Xuan seemed not to hear her accusations. Instead, he leaned forward and, in a half-hearted manner, pulled Luo Menglan into his arms tightly.

Luo Menglan froze, her mind going blank for a moment before she reacted. She then "forcefully" pounded Chen Xuan's back, but to Chen Xuan, this action seemed more like a coquettish complaint.

"Alright, Menglan, don't be angry. Listen to me, things aren't like what Yu Guili and Lin Feng said at all."

Chen Xuan held Luo Menglan tightly, preventing her from breaking free, while whispering explanations in her ear. His warm breath sprayed on Luo Menglan's neck, making her face even hotter.

"Hmph, you still dare to argue! They all told you so convincingly, I think you were just bewitched by the beauty of the Purple Spirit Goddess and did something stupid!"

Although Luo Menglan remained defiant, her tone had unconsciously softened.

Seeing this, Chen Xuan smiled slightly.

Women still fall for this! (Please do not imitate in real life)

Seeing the two being so intimate, Zi Ling'er felt a pang of jealousy. A hint of resentment flashed in her beautiful eyes.

However, she also knew that Chen Xuan and Luo Menglan seemed to have a special relationship, and that Luo Menglan was powerful, so her husband's safety would not be a problem in the future. In the end, she didn't say anything more, but just coughed lightly to remind the two of her presence.

Hearing Zi Ling'er cough, Chen Xuan realized his behavior was inappropriate. He released Luo Menglan but still held her hand.

"Zi'er, don't be angry. Menglan was just in a hurry. I'm just explaining it to her."

Zi Ling'er gently pursed her lips: "It's alright, my husband, you can explain things to Fairy Luo."

"Now..."

Luo Menglan coughed lightly, trying to regain her usual aloofness, and looked at Chen Xuan with a solemn expression:

"Chen Xuan, now that the misunderstanding has been cleared up, you shall come back with me. The situation in the Immortal Realm is turbulent and unpredictable, and many matters still require your assistance in planning."

Her tone carried an unquestionable air, as if Chen Xuan should immediately return with her.

Upon hearing this, the Purple Spirit Goddess's eyebrows furrowed slightly.

She tightened her grip on Chen Xuan's arm and said sweetly:

"Luo Menglan, Chen Xuan and I are here, deeply in love, enjoying our time together. You come here and want to take him away? Do you think it's that easy?"

Luo Menglan turned her gaze to the Purple Spirit Goddess, her expression remaining calm, but her words carrying a hint of coldness:

"Goddess Ziling, the affairs of the Immortal Realm are of great importance. Chen Xuan is on my side... He bears a heavy responsibility. How can he linger here indulging in romance?"

Zi Ling'er's lips curled up slightly, revealing a faint smile, and she retorted sarcastically:

"What do matters of the Immortal Realm have to do with me? All I know is that Chen Xuan is my lover right now, and we are in perfect harmony. How can you forcibly separate us?"

After saying that, she gently rested her head on Chen Xuan's shoulder, looking at Luo Menglan with a defiant expression.

Chen Xuan was caught in the middle, looking helpless. He glanced at Luo Menglan, then at the Purple Spirit Goddess, trying to ease the tension.

"Please, gentlemen. I will not stand aside from matters of the Immortal Realm, but my feelings for Zi'er are not something to be taken lightly."

Seeing Chen Xuan so protective of the Purple Spirit Goddess, Luo Menglan felt a pang of bitterness in her heart and couldn't help but raise her voice:

"Chen Xuan, don't let romantic love cloud your judgment! Have you forgotten An Yuexi, who's eyeing you with predatory intent? The fates of countless lives rest on your shoulders..."

She really had no reason to say that she liked Chen Xuan; she simply couldn't bring herself to say it.

Upon hearing this, the Purple Spirit Goddess raised her jade hand, a faint purple halo surrounding her, and let out a delicate shout:

"Luo Menglan, don't try to pressure me with the matter of An Yuexi. Chen Xuan has his own ideas, how can you control them? If you insist on taking him away by force today, don't blame me, Zi Ling, for being ruthless!"

Upon hearing this, Luo Menglan laughed instead of getting angry: "Zi Ling, do you really want to be my enemy? Don't forget, in terms of strength, although you have fused multiple laws, when it comes to actually fighting, you are still far inferior to my Great Completion Space!"

Seeing that the situation was not good, Chen Xuan quickly stood between the two, spread his arms, and shouted:

"Gentlemen, please don't fight! Let's talk this out, why ruin our harmony?"

He was extremely anxious, knowing that both of them were hot-tempered and that if they really started fighting, the resulting carnage would have unimaginable consequences.

But clearly, Chen Xuan's words seemed to have no effect at this moment.

Upon hearing Luo Menglan's words, the Purple Spirit Goddess's beautiful eyes flashed with a cold light, and the purple aura around her instantly intensified, with dense immortal energy swirling and surging around her as if it were a tangible substance.

"Luo Menglan, if you insist on taking Chen Xuan away today, then you'll have to get past me first!"

Before she finished speaking, she drew an arc in the air with her jade hand, condensing a dazzling purple immortal power. This immortal power was like a living thing, constantly twisting and expanding, and in an instant it transformed into a ferocious purple dragon, roaring as it pounced towards Luo Menglan.

Wherever the purple dragon passed, ripples spread through the space, as if it were being torn apart.
