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

63: The Psychology of Princess GaoAt this point, Consort Gao Yueting deliberately paused, her beautiful eyes shimmering with a cunning light: ”And last time I saw, your relationship with Princess Zhou Jingyi is not ordinary!”

”Cough cough, Zhou Jingyi? She’s just a normal friend of mine!”

Gao Yueting stared at him, a meaningful smile playing on her lips: ”Last time she pulled you away, and when she came back, her expression... do you think I’d believe you?”

Chen Xuan’s heart jolted, and he instantly understood what she was referring to.

”Hehe, I, this Consort, thought you and that woman Zhao Lingwu were so sweet together, but now it seems all you men are cut from the same cloth!”

”Consort is indeed intelligent. Since you’ve already guessed, there’s nothing for me to hide. Yes, my relationship with the Princess is indeed closer, but it hasn’t reached the extent you’re imagining.”

”Is that so? I know exactly what kind of person Zhou Jingyi is! No ordinary man could ever get close to her. How could a cripple like you win her favor?”

Chen Xuan was silent for a moment, then said faintly: ”Because she finds me very interesting.”

Then he added in his heart: ’I didn’t win her favor; I was just being assertive.’ (Readers, don’t try this in real life.)

Gao Yueting raised an eyebrow upon hearing this, seemingly not satisfied with the answer. She leaned closer to Chen Xuan, her slender fingers gently caressing his cheek: ”Interesting? Is that so?”

Chen Xuan’s brows furrowed slightly, and he subtly avoided her hand: ”Consort, please have some self-respect.”

”You’ve got quite a temper, don’t you?” Gao Yueting looked at Chen Xuan with a smile, a hint of provocation in her tone.

Chen Xuan smiled faintly, his expression composed: ”It was the Consort who approached me first; I was merely being polite so as not to be rude.”

”You little man, you’re quite good with words.” Gao Yueting smiled as she withdrew her hand, but the curiosity and scrutiny in her eyes intensified.

She returned to her seat, looked at Chen Xuan, and said in a deep voice: ”I can give you a chance. If you seize it well, perhaps I can even save your life.”

”I’m listening.”

”I heard you have a Medicinal Pill that can increase cultivation. Is that true or false?” Gao Yueting looked at Chen Xuan with burning eyes.

Upon hearing Gao Yueting’s words, Chen Xuan’s expression immediately became strange.

This so-called Medicinal Pill was something he just made up to trick Huang Meihua. Now that Gao Yueting knew, didn’t that mean...!

No wonder Huang Meihua wanted to send Zhao Lingwu away today. So that’s how it was!

”What are you thinking?”

”Nothing. I do indeed have a Medicinal Pill that can increase cultivation, but I’m very curious how the Consort came to know about it?”

”How I, this Consort, came to know is none of your concern!”

Gao Yueting chuckled softly: ”Hand it over. I need this Medicinal Pill to Break through my Realm.”

”The Consort’s cultivation is already very high; breaking through the Realm might not be easy...”

”Chen Xuan, what do you mean? Are you daring to insult me?!” Gao Yueting instantly became furious, standing up, her chest heaving.

Did she not know how high her cultivation was? If it weren’t for the Gao family’s massive accumulation of resources, she wouldn’t even have been able to achieve Foundation Establishment!

”How would I dare to insult you, Consort? After all, my life is still in your hands, isn’t it?”

”Then what do you mean by that!” Gao Yueting approached him step by step, even directly opening the cell door and walking in.

Chen Xuan was nothing but a cripple; she could crush him with a flick of her hand!

”Then what does the Consort intend to exchange for this Medicinal Pill?” Chen Xuan didn’t answer, but asked directly.

”Exchange?” Gao Yueting smiled charmingly, then extended her jade hand to lift Chen Xuan’s chin.

Looking at Chen Xuan’s handsome face before her, a strange feeling surged in Gao Yueting’s heart.

This was Chen Xuan, Zhao Lingwu’s husband!

Normally, you, Zhao Lingwu, always acted superior, disdaining to associate with us. Even the son-in-law you married is so handsome, outstanding, fought over by great Families, favored by the Princess...

But now, after you’ve conceived his child, this Chen Xuan has fallen into my hands!

As soon as she thought of this, Gao Yueting felt a surge of excitement, and a hint of madness appeared on her face.

”I, this Consort, will exchange it for your life. How does that sound?”

”Uh, I don’t think that sounds good. Consort, please reconsider!” Chen Xuan looked at the woman teasing him, and a thought of teasing her back also arose in his mind.

”Then hand over the Medicinal Pill!”

”I’m afraid I can’t give it to you.” Chen Xuan said faintly.

But as soon as he finished speaking, Gao Yueting flicked her finger, and a trace of spiritual power instantly shot out, directly hitting Chen Xuan’s chest.

Chen Xuan’s eyes became sharp for a moment, and after sensing it, he allowed the spiritual power to strike his body.

He was seen stumbling back a few steps, and finally lost his balance, falling to the ground.

”Cough cough, Consort, what, what are you doing?”

Gao Yueting walked up to him with a smile, looking down at him: ”Can’t give it to me?! It seems, if I don’t teach you a lesson, you won’t hand over the Medicinal Pill obediently.”

”You...!” Chen Xuan glared fiercely at Gao Yueting, his eyes full of anger.

Gao Yueting, however, didn’t care. She raised her foot and stepped on Chen Xuan’s leg, grinding it firmly, then arrogantly said: ”How is it? Doesn’t it taste good?”

Chen Xuan gritted his teeth, not saying a word, just staring coldly at her. However, he suddenly flipped over, knocking off Consort Gao Yueting’s shoe.

”Heh, quite spirited! But I want to see how long you can last!”

A mad smile appeared on Gao Yueting’s face. She lifted her crystal-clear, jade-like lotus toes and mercilessly stepped on Chen Xuan’s body.

’Zhao Lingwu, do you see? Your husband is now being trampled under my feet!’

Then the force on her foot gradually increased, as if she wanted to break Chen Xuan’s bones.

”You, even if you trample me to death, I will never submit!” Chen Xuan lay on the ground, reaching out to hug the part of Consort Gao Yueting that was attacking him, and roared.

And Gao Yueting, seeing the unyielding Chen Xuan, her madness intensified. She swung her other foot, also taking off her shoe, and stood directly on Chen Xuan’s body.

”Let go of me, this Consort!”

”Hit me, even if you beat me to death, I will never submit!” Chen Xuan spoke righteously, holding on even tighter.

”Good, good, good, unyielding to death, is it? I’ll make you unyielding to death!” Gao Yueting looked at Chen Xuan and directly stepped towards his face.

”Consort, aren’t you afraid the Prince will find out if you do this?”

”The Prince?” Gao Yueting was stunned for a moment, then sneered: ”Heh, he’s just an old man. I, this Consort, have the Gao family backing me up, and I’m the only one who gets to command him!”

Chen Xuan’s sword-like brows furrowed slightly. He hadn’t expected the relationship between Gao Yueting and the Prince to have deteriorated to such an extent.

However, for him, this could also be considered an opportunity.

Hehehe.
