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

“Jingyi, you know I’m a very responsible person. I will take full responsibility for every woman I’ve married.”

Chen Xuan gently stroked Zhou Jingyi's hair and said softly, "I know I've married many wives, which is indeed hard for a woman to accept."

But what I want to say is that every woman is unique to me, and every woman is my treasure. Just like you are not only my princess, but also the woman I deeply love.

Hearing Chen Xuan's words, Zhou Jingyi was slightly taken aback, a ripple of emotion stirring within her. She turned around, looking into Chen Xuan's sincere eyes, her heart wavering.

"Really?" Zhou Jingyi asked softly.

Chen Xuan nodded: "Of course, I never lie. Jingyi, I know you can't fully accept me yet, but I believe that one day you will understand me."

Zhou Jingyi was silent for a moment, then nodded gently: "Then, I'll give you one more chance. If you dare to bully me or let me down again, then I will never talk to you again!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Xuan smiled and said, "Don't worry, Your Highness, I swear I will never bully you again. I will treat you well and never betray your trust in me!"

Zhou Jingyi's face flushed slightly, a sweet feeling welling up inside her. She gently punched Chen Xuan's chest and said coquettishly, "Hmph, that's more like it!"

Chen Xuan then put his arm around Zhou Jingyi's slender waist and whispered in her ear, "Then, Your Highness, from now on, we're lovers, right?"

Zhou Jingyi's face turned even redder. She pursed her lips and nodded gently, "Mm."

Overjoyed, Chen Xuan couldn't resist kissing Zhou Jingyi's cherry lips. Zhou Jingyi struggled slightly, then obediently closed her eyes, responding to Chen Xuan's passion.

Anyway... anyway, she was treated the same way by Chen Xuan at the Zhao family last time. She can't get married without Chen Xuan! Of course, she only wants to marry Chen Xuan.

Sunlight filtered through the trees, casting its glow on the two figures embracing, as if draping them in a golden veil, creating a scene of breathtaking beauty.

……

"Jingyi? Why have you been gone for so long?" Zhou Jingqi's voice came from afar.

"ah!"

Zhou Jingyi was startled and pushed Chen Xuan away.

"My sister is coming! You'd better hide!"

"Where...where can I hide? She's almost here!" Chen Xuan said speechlessly, watching the figure getting closer and closer.

Fortunately, it was Zhou Jingqi who came, not Lin Yunhan, so he could still handle it.

"Oh no, it's too late! You, you quickly hide in the water!" Zhou Jingyi grabbed Chen Xuan's shoulder and pushed him directly into the spiritual spring, while she sat above him to provide cover.

To avoid trouble, Chen Xuan also concealed his aura.

As the sound of Zhou Jingqi's delicate feet splashing in the water grew closer, Zhou Jingyi's heart leaped into her throat. She sat by the spring, trying to remain calm while praying that her sister wouldn't discover Chen Xuan.

Then, Zhou Jingqi stood on the water and walked over.

Sunlight filtered through the trees and fell on her face, making her look exceptionally radiant and beautiful.

She wore a pink, form-fitting dress that accentuated her beautiful figure. Her slender waist and long legs appeared even whiter in the sunlight.

After seeing it, Chen Xuan couldn't help but sigh inwardly, Zhou Jingqi was truly beautiful inside and out. Every smile and gesture was captivating, like a vivid painting that made one linger.

"Hey, Jingyi, what are you doing sitting here all by yourself? Master isn't here either!" Zhou Jingqi asked curiously.

"No, nothing, just looking at the scenery," Zhou Jingyi replied with a forced smile.

"Jingyi, you've been playing in this place since you were a child, what scenery is there? Are you alright? Why does your face look a little red? Are you sick?" Zhou Jingqi asked with concern as she entered the water.

Her long hair was casually draped over her shoulders, swaying gently with the flow of water.

Zhou Jingyi was startled and quickly waved her hand, "No, it's nothing. I was probably just a little tired from cultivating."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Jingqi frowned slightly: "Jingyi, I have to say something to you. You've been at this spiritual spring for so long, but you've only cultivated for a short while, and you still say you're tired! How can you be so lax in cultivation!"

"Okay, I understand, thank you for your concern, sister." Zhou Jing replied casually, forcing a smile, but she was worried about Chen Xuan, afraid that Zhou Jingqi would find out.

"I noticed you hadn't come back for a while. Why have you been here for so long?" Zhou Jingqi said, sitting down next to Zhou Jingyi.

Seeing this, Zhou Jingyi quickly changed the subject: "No, it's nothing. I just wanted to rest here for a bit. But you, sister, have made quite a bit of progress in your cultivation lately. Has something good happened?"

Zhou Jingqi frowned slightly. She knew her sister all too well; this was clearly a lie, something she was hiding from her!

However, she still smiled and said, "Yes, I feel like my cultivation has been going particularly smoothly lately, as if something is helping me. It's really strange."

"Oh, is that so!" Zhou Jingyi pretended to be nonchalant on the surface, but she was secretly anxious, hoping that Chen Xuan would not reveal his true identity.

“But Jingyi has really grown up. She has her own little secrets and is keeping them from her older sister!” Zhou Jingqi suddenly put her arm around her younger sister’s shoulder and teased her.

Zhou Jingyi was startled by Zhou Jingqi's sudden action and accidentally kicked her foot.

Then suddenly a string of bubbles appeared in the spring.

Zhou Jingqi immediately sensed something was wrong. She turned to look at the spirit spring, her expression changing: "Who? Who's inside?"

Zhou Jingyi's heart skipped a beat, and she knew something was wrong.

"Sister, there's no one there. Maybe it's just fish blowing bubbles," Zhou Jingyi said with an embarrassed smile.

Zhou Jingqi frowned, clearly disbelieving: "These bubbles don't look like they were blown out by a fish; there must be someone inside!"

As she spoke, Zhou Jingqi stood up and went to check.

Zhou Jingyi quickly stopped her: "Sister, it's really nothing, stop making a fuss, let's go back."

Seeing this, Zhou Jingqi became even more certain that there was someone in the spiritual spring. She pushed Zhou Jingyi aside and went to the edge of the spring.

"Come out here!" Zhou Jingqi shouted sternly.

Knowing he could no longer hide, Chen Xuan had no choice but to surface, revealing his disheveled appearance.

"Chen Xuan?!" Zhou Jingqi looked at him in shock. "What are you doing here?"

Chen Xuan awkwardly touched his nose and chuckled dryly, "Well, well, that's a long story..."

"Hmph, I don't care what your reasons are. You scoundrel, daring to come to my secret realm, you'd better take my hit first!"

Zhou Jingqi had long been dissatisfied with Chen Xuan, a lecherous man who had wronged her!

Chen Xuan: "!!!"
