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

Seeing that everyone seemed to enjoy the drinks, Chen Xuan started fiddling with the game console.

He opened a popular adventure puzzle game, and the stunning visuals immediately caught everyone's attention.

Qiongxiao's eyes widened as she leaned closer to the screen, watching the protagonist's adventure in a fantasy world, and couldn't help but exclaim in amazement:

"What is this thing? It's so magical that it can reflect the monkey and the people in the Heavenly Palace! And it's even showing the monkey and Yang Jian fighting? But neither the monkey nor Yang Jian in this picture looks like the real thing."

As Qiongxiao spoke, she started to complain.

"Actually, this is a virtual world!"

Chen Xuan explained the game with a smile, and Qiong Xiao listened intently, eager to try it out.

Then, Chen Xuan handed the controller to Qiong Xiao and taught her how to operate it step by step.

Qiongxiao learned very quickly and soon mastered the basic skills, controlling the protagonist to run, jump, and solve puzzles in the game. She looked extremely excited.

Yunxiao watched from the side, maintaining her aloof demeanor, but a hint of a smile appeared in her eyes as she quietly watched her younger sister immerse herself in the world of the game.

Seeing this, Zhao Gongming also came over, looking at the wonderful scene on the screen, occasionally letting out a few exclamations of amazement, and in his heart, he felt even more admiration for his brother-in-law Chen Xuan's novel gadgets.

"But what's the point of this game? Why am I not included?! I'm strong too, you know!" Nezha complained.

"Ahem, these are all made-up stories. Besides, Nezha, you and the monkey are such good friends, you definitely wouldn't fight with him!" Chen Teng quickly explained.

"That's true, but we still spar sometimes. We're... evenly matched!"

……

After entertaining everyone, Chen Xuan led them to a secret room to discuss his "altar".

"So, brother-in-law, you mean your altar can only summon female bodies?" Zhao Gongming's face showed a hint of dejection.

"Actually, no, it's just that it makes it easier to summon women. If I'm lucky, I might even get the kind of treasure that allows you to directly acquire a physical body. I actually have a bottle right now." Chen Xuan said, taking out the reward he received when he was with Bi Xiao.

"This...this is what will allow us to escape the Investiture of the Gods..."

"Probably, but I haven't actually tried it myself, so I lack practical experience to know for sure whether it's possible."

All eyes were focused on the bottle in Chen Xuan's hand that was emitting a mysterious light, and for a moment, the secret room fell into a brief silence.

Bixiao spoke first: "Brother, you should keep this precious treasure. As for the matter of the body, with my husband here, there's no need to rush. Besides, all of us sisters are here, so the chances of success aren't too small!"

Qiongxiao quickly waved her hand and said with a grin:

"Yes, little sister is right. I'm doing quite well now. I can play freely and tease them from time to time. Besides, I think this treasure is extremely valuable. Maybe it can change big brother's situation. Let's give it to big brother!" She blinked her bright eyes and looked at Zhao Gongming with anticipation.

“My sisters and brothers are all so righteous, and Caiyun and Hanzhi should follow their example. This opportunity to possess a physical body should not be wasted on us. If Brother Zhao Gongming can obtain this treasure, he will surely be able to play a greater role in protecting us,” Fairy Caiyun said gently, pursing her lips.

“I agree,” Yunxiao said.

Nezha frowned, scratched his head, and said, "Brother Zhao, you should use it. Knowing Chen Xuan as I do, everyone here will definitely...!"

Before he could finish speaking, Chen Xuan quickly stuffed a steamed bun into his mouth.

Zhao Gongming looked at everyone, his eyes slightly red, his heart filled with emotion.

Seeing this, Chen Xuan stepped forward and said sincerely:

"Brother, this treasure might bring about even greater changes for you. As the elder brother, you have always protected everyone from hardship. Now that you have this opportunity, don't refuse it."

Zhao Gongming remained silent for a moment, then finally nodded heavily:

"Alright! In that case, I will not refuse any longer. I will do my best in the future to live up to everyone's expectations!"

He solemnly accepted the bottle with both hands and held it carefully in his hands.

"By the way, I still have half of my soul that hasn't entered my body yet. Why don't I try to see if I can really escape the Investiture of the Gods!" Bixiao said, exchanging her other half of her soul, which then slowly merged into her current true form.

"Boom!"

There was nothing unusual happening; only Bixiao could sense that she was no longer bound by anything.

"Little sister, how are you feeling?" Yunxiao asked quickly.

“Everything is fine, I feel no discomfort, this is my real body, I am completely free!” Bixiao exclaimed in delight.

"Great!"

……

The distant, primordial wilderness.

At the highest point of Jade Void Palace, a Taoist priest suddenly frowned.

"Strange, they were actually able to escape from the Investiture of the Gods that I created! Could it be that something unexpected happened?"

Then the Taoist priest did some calculations with his fingers.

"The outer reaches of the universe? Nezha is there too? How did they leave this universe? Oh well, the Heavenly Court is now stable, there are no more variables, let them play around!"

The Taoist smiled and then ignored him.

On Chen Xuan's side.

After confirming that Bixiao had truly escaped the Investiture of the Gods, Zhao Gongming also began to prepare for his own affairs.

He found a secluded place and had Nezha protect him. The others did not act rashly but waited for his success.

Bixiao's room.

The three fairy maidens of Sanxiao, the fairy maiden of Caiyun, and the fairy maiden of Hanzhi sat together.

"What's wrong, little sister? Chen Xuan's game is really good, why did you call us all over?" Qiongxiao asked, looking puzzled.

"Alright, Qiongxiao, we'll have plenty of time to play later. Bixiao came to us because she must have something to tell us. Be patient!" Yunxiao pinched Qiongxiao's cheek.

"Bixiao, stop hiding it. We're all good sisters, what can't we talk about? Could it be your husband?"

"actually……"

Bixiao hesitated, as if she wanted to say something but then stopped herself.

"What is it? You're driving me crazy!"

"Actually, the freedom my husband gave me is subject to certain limitations!"

"Restrictions? What restrictions?" Yunxiao frowned.

"It's just...it's just that I can't be too far away from my husband!"

"Not too far? How far is 'not too far'?"

"Yes, tell us a rough distance so we can have a sense of it!"

"It's probably within... a thousand miles! Once you leave that distance, the free body doesn't react at all."

"Why are you only telling me now? Doesn't that mean my brother...?"

“My brother’s situation is different; he relied on a treasure, so it can’t be considered a summoning.”

And we... can only wait for my husband to summon the Valkyrie using the altar, and since the altar belongs to my husband, the Valkyrie it summons will naturally be... my husband's property!
