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

Upon hearing this, Ling Ruoli's face instantly burned with shame and anger: "You... what kind of absurd idea is this! How could I... possibly agree to this!"

"Oh, don't be so quick to refuse. Just think, how heartwarming would it be to have a cute little one calling you 'Mommy' every day? And with a child, the Jade Tower would have the best home, and you wouldn't have to worry about it anymore."

Ling Ruoli rolled her eyes in anger, but her body was firmly controlled by Chen Xuan, and she couldn't break free. She could only say angrily, "You...you're simply unreasonable! I will absolutely not agree to this!"

"Sigh, you just said you'd do anything except for the Xuan Yu Tower, and now this is the legitimate daughter your Ling family has raised!"

“You!!! I…” Ling Ruoli was speechless.

Seeing Ling Ruoli's angry yet helpless expression, Chen Xuan suddenly dropped his playful grin and revealed a serious and affectionate look.

He gently released his grip on Ling Ruoli, took a step back, sighed softly, and gazed at her tenderly.

"Ling Ruoli, actually, what I just said was half a joke and half the truth. From the first moment I saw you, I had a different feeling for you."

"Rescuing you and giving you the fruit of the Jianmu tree was not just out of pity, but because I truly care about you, very much." Chen Xuan's voice was low and sincere.

Ling Ruoli was still filled with anger and embarrassment when she heard Chen Xuan's sudden confession. Her already not-so-bright mind became completely confused.

She stood there, stunned and at a loss. She opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but Chen Xuan's words cut her off.

“I know my previous behavior was a bit shameless, but I just wanted to get your attention and make you understand that I have no ill intentions towards the Xuanyu Tower. I just want to protect it with you and protect you.”

Chen Xuan stepped forward, grasped Ling Ruoli's hand, and looked at her with a firm gaze.

Ling Ruoli's cheeks flushed red as she recalled everything Chen Xuan had done for her, her heart filled with mixed emotions.

She felt indebted to Chen Xuan, and now, faced with this straightforward confession, her defenses began to crumble.

Most importantly, Chen Xuan is really outstanding and handsome.

She lowered her head slightly, not daring to look Chen Xuan in the eye, and whispered, "You... are you telling the truth?"

Chen Xuan gently lifted her chin, making her look into his eyes, and nodded solemnly: "Of course it's true. I, Chen Xuan, never make promises lightly, but once I've made up my mind, I will never change it."

Ling Ruoli bit her lip, torn between two conflicting feelings. She felt indebted to Chen Xuan, yet she also thought it was indeed an excellent solution, since she couldn't avoid getting married and having children in the future, given the Ling family's development.

In the end, Ling Ruoli reluctantly nodded slightly: "Then... then okay, I... I believe you this time."

"That's wonderful! From now on, we'll protect the Xuanyu Tower together and live together. I promise I'll make you happy!"

Ling Ruoli leaned against Chen Xuan's chest, listening to his strong heartbeat. Although she was still a little shy, she secretly looked forward to the days she would spend with Chen Xuan in the future.

The towering Xuan Yu Pagoda stood quietly to the side.

"Alright, let's go inside the tower now!" Chen Xuan said, pulling the beautiful woman along as they headed into the Xuanyu Tower.

Soon, the two arrived at the top floor, where Ji Yunxin was.

"Chen Xuan, what are we doing here with our senior?"

"What senior? You should call me 'sister' from now on!"

"Sister...sister?"

"Yes, because she will become part of our family in the future," Chen Xuan said, looking at the mural on the wall.

The mural depicts Ji Yunxin, but at this moment, there is no movement here.

"And that woman Ji Yunxin is no longer here, so I plan to turn this place into our love nest."

Ling Ruoli blushed instantly: "I'll do whatever you say!"

The murals remain untouched.

However, Chen Xuan didn't care. He gently pulled Ling Ruoli to his side, placed his hands tenderly on her shoulders, and looked at her with eyes full of "love".

He lowered his head slightly and placed a gentle kiss on Ling Ruoli's forehead. The tender touch made Ling Ruoli's heart beat faster, and her cheeks became even hotter.

"Ruoli, this will be our home from now on. I will give you all my tenderness and love."

Ling Ruoli tilted her head slightly, looking into Chen Xuan's affectionate eyes, her heart filled with shyness.

She subconsciously bit her lower lip, trying to suppress the fluttering of her heart, but her slightly trembling lips betrayed her nervousness.

"You...you shouldn't keep staring at me like that, it's so embarrassing!" Ling Ruoli's voice was as soft as a mosquito's buzz, carrying an undisguised coquettishness.

She turned slightly to the side, trying to avoid Chen Xuan, but he gently pulled her back, leaving her to face his love once again.

"Ruoli, why are you so shy?" Chen Xuan teased softly with a gentle smile on his lips.

Hearing this, Ling Ruoli's cheeks turned even redder. She gently punched Chen Xuan's chest and scolded him, "It's all your fault! How dare you say that!" Her voice was soft and sweet, but it had no strength.

"Then... if Ruoli is here, shall we work together to revive the Ling family?"

"Okay, okay."

Ling Ruoli's mind went blank; she was filled with shyness.

Her former aloofness and reserve vanished at this moment, leaving only the shyness of a young girl experiencing her first love in front of her sweetheart.

But Chen Xuan wasn't shy at all; he was teaching and training her, and he wanted to train her to be the best student.

After a long while, Chen Xuan gently released Ling Ruoli. Ling Ruoli slowly closed her eyes, immersed in this tender love, her heart filled with happiness and contentment.

"You, you just bully me."

"Hehe, I could bully you for a hundred years and it still wouldn't be enough! Come on, this is where Senior Ji Yunxin usually stays. Let's comprehend the laws of life here. Who knows, you might even have a little baby!"

"But, but this belongs to my senior..."

"Don't worry, when the senior handed over the laws to me, she was already preparing to leave. She's long gone now, so it's alright. So, Ruoli, don't you want to revitalize the Ling family?"

"Well... alright! I hope that Senior's Law of Life can bring us good news!" Ling Ruoli hesitated for a moment, then agreed directly.
