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

Chapter 542 Who are you calling "Big Sister"?

"No...don't do this, Qingcheng. I...I'm really fine. I was just...I was resting and you woke me up, so I'm still a little groggy. Sister...Sister really isn't... *sobs*" Zheng Yaqin hurriedly explained.

"Oh, I see. Well then, Sister Yaqin, you should rest well. I just came to see if any strangers were coming. Since you're alright, I'll be going now." Hearing Zheng Yaqin's words, Yu Qingcheng didn't press the matter further.

"Okay...okay, Qingcheng. You...you should get some rest too." After saying that, Zheng Yaqin leaned against the door, let out a long sigh, and gave Chen Xuan a coquettish glare.

……

After leaving Zheng Yaqin's palace, Yu Qingcheng fled to her own quiet secret room.

Upon entering the secret chamber, Yu Qingcheng gently closed the stone door, her legs suddenly giving way. Leaning against the wall, she slowly slid down to sit on the ground.

She just felt...uncomfortable all over!

The next moment, her delicate brows furrowed slightly, and she murmured to herself, "I really didn't expect that Sister Yaqin would do such a thing behind my and Xiaofeng's back..."

You must understand, Yu Qingcheng is no fool. How could she be completely oblivious to such a subtle matter?

Moreover, as a fox fairy, her sense of smell was exceptionally keen. Even if she couldn't detect the stranger's unique scent, the aroma of the cola and Sprite he brought couldn't escape her nose.

Upon thinking of this, Yu Qingcheng's fair and jade-like cheeks turned as red as a ripe apple, making her look delicate and lovely.

The more she thought about it, the more upset she became. She muttered angrily, "Ugh! Honestly, bringing people along is one thing, but to be so shameless, standing so close to me, making it seem like I'm part of their scheme..."

After saying that, Yu Qingcheng shook her head helplessly, trying her best to drive these chaotic and complicated thoughts out of her mind.

Finally, after struggling for a while, Yu Qingcheng took a deep breath, calmed herself down, and then slowly stood up. She walked to the futon in the center of the secret room, sat down cross-legged, and began to adjust her breathing to enter a meditative state.

Meanwhile, at the other end of the palace, Zheng Yaqin and Chen Xuan were spending this beautiful and pleasant night together.

Although they didn't do anything special that night, the warm atmosphere still allowed them to feel each other's affection.

Silent all night.

The next morning, Chen Xuan got up early, packed his things, and went to Zheng Yaqin.

Zheng Yaqin was sitting at her dressing table, combing her silky long hair. Seeing Chen Xuan enter, she smiled and stood up.

"Husband, why didn't you sleep a little longer? Why are you up so early?"

"I want to go back."

"Oh? So early!" Zheng Yaqin asked with a hint of reluctance.

Chen Xuan nodded and said, "Yes, I still have some things to take care of, so I have to go back first."

Zheng Yaqin lowered her head slightly and said softly, "Alright, then take care on your journey."

Chen Xuan comforted her, "Don't worry, I'll take good care of myself. Besides, I'll keep coming over. You're safe here, so I can rest assured." With that, he left Zheng Yaqin's palace.

Actually, the main reason he didn't take Zheng Yaqin away was because of Mu Qingfeng's presence. Leaving Zheng Yaqin there would at least allow him to find a suitable opportunity to teleport there.

Then there's the mysterious woman I met outside yesterday, the one called Sister Zheng Yaqin.

Although he didn't see her face at the time, just hearing her beautiful voice and the alluring fragrance emanating from her, Chen Xuan could tell that she must be a beauty.

It wasn't difficult to learn the other party's identity by asking Zheng Yaqin again.

The chosen one, Mu Qingfeng, and his beautiful master.

"Hmph, a piece of trash like Mu Qingfeng actually dares to try and learn from me? What a fool! Once I've established myself here, I'll see if I don't shit on your head!"

Chen Xuan sneered inwardly and returned to his small wooden house.

However, after returning to the cabin, he was just about to visit Yu Guili when a faint voice came from behind him without warning.

"Hmph, you exude a wonderful fragrance. Where have you been gallivanting off to? And you're just a mere True Immortal, yet you managed to break through the spatial confinement I set up. Tell me, how did you do that?"

Chen Xuan was startled by the sudden question and whirled around: "No, ma'am, could you please not appear behind people so suddenly? It's terrifying!"

"I'm scary? If you didn't have something to hide, why would you be so panicked? And who are you calling 'big sister'?" As Luo Menglan spoke, she slowly stood up, her graceful figure appearing even more captivating in the dim light.

"Come on, what's wrong with me? I just went for a walk, that's perfectly normal. On the contrary, are you going to monitor me 34/34, from every angle?"

As he spoke, Chen Xuan stared at the woman in front of him, who had captivated him, with displeasure in his eyes.

Hearing this, Luo Menglan's pretty face flushed slightly, then she spat out, "Pah! Who cares about spying on you! I just suddenly realized that someone seemed to be missing from this private space of mine, so I rushed back to check."

"Alright, alright, you've taken a look. Now that you've seen it, shouldn't you go back?" Chen Xuan said helplessly.

"Go back to what? You've rambled on and on with a bunch of nonsense, but you still haven't explained the most crucial thing: how exactly you left me!"

Luo Menglan stood there angrily, her hands firmly on her hips, her eyebrows raised, her beautiful eyes wide open, glaring fiercely at Chen Xuan in front of her.

"Big sister, most normal people have their own little secrets, right? Big sister, aren't you overstepping your bounds a bit? Is your desire for control really that strong?" Chen Xuan spread his hands helplessly, shrugged, and tried to defend himself.

However, before he could finish speaking, Luo Menglan roared, "Who are you calling 'Big Sister'?" Her voice was deafening, as if it were tearing the surrounding air apart.

The next moment, Luo Menglan completely ignored Chen Xuan's question. She clenched her pink little fist tightly and, without saying a word, punched Chen Xuan.

Despite her petite stature, her punch contained considerable force.
