The Protagonist Stole My Spiritual Roots? The Heroine, Give Me a Good Birth!

38: The plot is advanced?”Wuwu! Let go of me!”

In the central part of the Yao Beast Mountain Range, Zhou Jingyi finally reacted from her daze, struggling relentlessly, trying to escape his clutches.

”Slap!”

Chen Xuan struck again, and this time Zhou Jingyi quieted down.

But they hadn’t walked far when Zhou Jingyi began to sob softly.

”Hey, why are you crying? I haven’t done anything yet!” Chen Xuan was speechless; he couldn’t stand to see women cry. It made him want to... bully them again!

”Wuwuwu, my life is over. Princess is so beautiful. I’ll either be humiliated by you, a commoner, or sold to someone else, wuwuwu!” Zhou Jingyi cried heartbrokenly.

Soon, Chen Xuan’s clothes were soaked.

Chen Xuan shook his head helplessly. He hadn’t expected this woman to be such a crybaby, practically capable of crying a sea.

”I say, woman, can you stop crying? I haven’t even started doing anything yet!” Chen Xuan roared in a low voice.

Upon hearing Chen Xuan’s roar, Zhou Jingyi cried even harder. She felt so miserable. She was, after all, a dignified Princess of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and her elder sister was a Prodigy among Prodigies. Her life should have always been high and mighty, so how did she end up in such a predicament?

Seeing this, Chen Xuan had no choice but to soften his tone and gently said, ”I told you to stop crying. If you keep crying, I’ll really have to do something! Anyway, you wanted to kill me, so I’ll just... first... then...!”

Zhou Jingyi immediately stopped crying upon hearing Chen Xuan’s words, looking at him with tear-filled eyes.

Her small appearance was truly charming and pitiful.

Hmm, it would be even better if she wasn’t sniffling.

”I have a few questions for you. If you answer them well, I’ll consider letting you go.”

”No, I don’t believe you! Princess is so beautiful, how could you possibly let me go? Unless you make a Heavenly Dao Oath!”

Chen Xuan was slightly surprised. How could this woman be foolish one moment and intelligent the next? Impossible, she must be too narcissistic!

”Slap!”

”You have no room to bargain with me!”

”Oh.” The young girl’s eyes were teary.

”What’s your name?”

”You, you really don’t know me?!” Zhou Jingyi was extremely surprised. Her appearance and reputation should be known by everyone in the entire Zhou Dynasty!

Chen Xuan glanced at her askance, slightly raising his palm.

”I, I am Zhou Jingyi!”

”You are Zhou Jingyi? Zhou Jingqi’s younger sister?” Chen Xuan was slightly surprised.

Mainly, in the Zhou Imperial Dynasty, there were many arrogant Princesses and Princes like her, so Chen Xuan really hadn’t expected that the one he casually grabbed was Zhou Jingyi.

”You know my elder sister? Then you still dare to kidnap me? If my elder sister finds out, you will definitely live a life worse than death!”

”Slap!”

”Stop being crazy. Just answer my questions; why so much talk!”

”Oh.”

”What is your purpose for coming here?”

”To catch, to catch that very beautiful Spirit Beast, to be a mount for my elder sister! And then... to enter that ruin to find treasures.”

”Are you talking about that Golden Winged Spirit Beast?”

”Huh? Is it called a Golden Winged Spirit Beast? I only know that its entire body glows golden, and its feathers are like Phoenix feathers, looking incredibly beautiful! Only its appearance is worthy of my elder sister!”

”So that’s it. Your relationship with Zhou Jingqi is quite good, then.” Chen Xuan nodded.

”Hmph, of course. My elder sister also dotes on me the most!”

”Unfortunately, precisely because of this, they spoiled you into this unruly state, and then you provoked me.” Chen Xuan pinched the young girl’s cheek.

”Princess is also a Genius. What’s wrong with being a little unruly? If you hadn’t bullied me with Foundation Establishment cultivation, I wouldn’t have lost!”

”If I had Foundation Establishment cultivation, I would have slapped your two guards to death long ago.”

”Impossible! I, I am already at Qi Refinement Perfection cultivation. Only a Foundation Establishment Cultivator can defeat me!”

”That only means you’ve been overly rushed, and your Foundation is shallow! In the hands of someone at Qi Refining Eighth Stage like me, you couldn’t even last a few seconds!”

”Impossible, you absolutely cannot be at Qi Refinement Stage. Princess has always sparred with experts in the Imperial Palace and will absolutely not be fooled by you!”

Chen Xuan smiled slightly and said nothing more. She could believe it or not.

”What treasures are inside the ruins?”

”I’m not sure either. I only know that there are many precious Spirit Medicine and Magic Treasure, and even some ancient Secret Manual.”

”Secret Manual?” Chen Xuan was a little tempted. If he could obtain an ancient Secret Manual, his strength would definitely increase significantly.

In this Mountain and Sea Realm, although there are many human relationships and social norms, personal strength is ultimately more important.

”Alright then, you can accompany me to the ruins! Anyway, you were planning to go there.” After speaking, Chen Xuan directly picked up Zhou Jingyi in his arms, opened the map, and headed deeper into the Yao Beast Mountain Range.

...

”Wuwu, you big liar, you said you would let me go!”

”I only said I’d consider it, but after my consideration, I decided to take you with me and continue forward.”

”I, I still have things unfinished. How about you wait for me to finish my business first!”

”What business could you have? If I’m not mistaken, you snuck out on your own, right? The Imperial Palace sending people over would definitely not involve you.”

”I, I really have something!” Zhou Jingyi’s small face flushed red.

”Then tell me, what business do you have!”

”...”

”It, it’s about my elder sister!” Zhou Jingyi thought for a moment. Anyway, it wasn’t anything particularly important, so she might as well say it. Even if she didn’t say it herself, he would know later.

”Oh? Your elder sister! Now I’m curious. Tell me!”

”Since you know my elder sister, you must surely know she has an unbetrothed husband, right?”

”Zhao Tianming, right? What does that have to do with him?”

”Just a few days ago, my sister took people to his Zhao Family to break off the engagement, but they found an empty house! Upon inquiry, she learned that he had come here, so I secretly came over...”

”You mean Zhao Tianming is also here?”

”Mm, his father said it himself, so it definitely isn’t false!” Zhou Jingyi asserted confidently.

This made Chen Xuan fall into deep thought.

According to his prediction, there was an 80% chance that Zhao Tianming was the Destined One. Now that he knew he was nearby, this probability had reached 90%!

But... Zhou Jingqi’s side, the engagement was broken off too early!

Could it be that Qin Feng had already arrived in Zhou Capital at this time? But he couldn’t even enter the Secret Realm where the Zhou Royal Family was located, so how could he have met Zhou Jingqi?

”Do you know Qin Feng?”

”No.”

”Has your sister had any unfamiliar men around her recently?”

”No, I’ve always been Cultivating with her!” Zhou Jingyi answered honestly.
