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

166: Kneel down and eat”Give, give you motivation? What do you mean?” Liu Yuning was a little confused.

”What do I mean?” Chen Xuan chuckled, directly throwing out a Formation that covered the entire room.

”Absence makes the heart grow fonder, baby!”

Meanwhile, She Jingxi received a message from Zhao Tianming not long after Chen Xuan went out.

He wanted to meet her.

Looking at the request on the communication talisman, she frowned. Zhao Tianming himself had admitted that Chen Xuan was his mortal enemy, and he had even wanted her to kill Chen Xuan!

But times had changed; she and Chen Xuan were now intimately close. How could she fulfill his wish?

Finally, she thought about it and decided to meet Zhao Tianming. He had, after all, saved her life, and she couldn’t fulfill his request to kill Chen Xuan, so it would be unreasonable to refuse him.

Subsequently, She Jingxi, dressed in casual clothes and wearing a light veil, arrived at the agreed meeting place with Zhao Tianming. She saw him in splendid robes, which was the best he could present.

”Empress Dowager, long time no see, are you well?” He struck what he considered a very handsome pose.

”Zhao Tianming, why are you looking for me?”

”Can’t I just chat with the Empress Dowager without a reason?” Zhao Tianming still wore a benevolent smile, but to She Jingxi, the smile made her feel a little nauseous.

”You know I don’t like beating around the bush. Just say what you want.”

”Alright then, I’ll be direct.” Zhao Tianming dropped his smile, his gaze becoming profound.

”I want to know, how did that matter I mentioned last time turn out?”

”What matter?”

”It’s about Chen Xuan’s Cultivation Technique. Have you gotten your hands on it?”

”Not yet, but I’ve already sent people to probe. Getting the Cultivation Technique shouldn’t be a problem!”

”Oh, that’s good, that’s good!”

”You came here just for this?”

”Yes and no. I have another request for the Empress Dowager!”

”You don’t need to be so long-winded. Just say what it is!” She Jingxi frowned.

”It’s like this: recently, I’ve had some insights in my cultivation, and I’m just a step away from a Golden Core Breakthrough. However, at this crucial moment, I’m just missing a little... resource! So I came to you, Empress Dowager!”

”What do you want?”

”Not much, not much. If there are Medicinal Pills, prioritize those. If not, ten or so Top-Grade Spirit Stones will do!”

”Top-Grade Spirit Stones?! You’re really asking for too much! Even a second-rate Sect would be severely impacted by one Top-Grade Spirit Stone, and you want over ten?”

”Uh, then, what about Medicinal Pills? Just a Medicinal Pill for a Foundation Establishment Breakthrough to Golden Core. That shouldn’t be much for you, right?”

”Medicinal Pills? Medicinal Pills for a Foundation Establishment Breakthrough to Golden Core? Zhao Tianming, do you think Medicinal Pills are like common vegetables on the street? That you can buy them with a few Spirit Stones?! These are things that are priceless and cannot be easily obtained by anyone!” She Jingxi said angrily.

”Empress Dowager, I, I’m just missing these things. If I can gather these resources, I’m sure I can Break through to the Golden Core Stage. Then, with me as your assistant or something, you’ll definitely be much more convenient, wouldn’t you say?” Zhao Tianming’s voice carried a hint of pleading.

She Jingxi looked at his appearance, and her heart grew even more disgusted. How could she have ever had a good impression of such a person? Even when Chen Xuan constantly bullied and tormented her, she still thought he was quite good!

If Chen Xuan were here, he would probably have slapped him to death by now. However, she still had to deal with him.

”You also know how precious this stuff is. Why should I...”

”Empress Dowager, wait, look what I brought!” Zhao Tianming didn’t wait for She Jingxi to finish speaking and directly took out a large amount of his roasted meat.

”These are all your favorites. I specially prepared a lot!”

But when She Jingxi saw the pile of roasted meat, her heart churned with disgust.

This was because on a day when she and Chen Xuan had a truce, she had taken out the roasted meat Zhao Tianming gave her, wanting Chen Xuan to taste it. She hadn’t expected to be severely mocked by Chen Xuan for it!

At first, she was unconvinced, but after eating the food Chen Xuan personally prepared, all her defiance was choked back. After all, Chen Xuan’s Old Ancestor’s carefully selected ingredients were far superior to unseasoned roasted meat.

After eating the food Chen Xuan made, looking at this pile of ugly roasted meat, she could only say that kneeling and eating the food Chen Xuan gave her was still better than this!

”Who said I like to eat this? It makes me sick just looking at it!”

”Empress Dowager, you...” Zhao Tianming was stunned.

Before he came, he had been confident, if not boastful, that She Jingxi would definitely fall for this.

But he hadn’t expected that she had completely changed after only a short time away! Could it be... that the person behind this veil wasn’t She Jingxi herself?

”To exchange such precious Medicinal Pills for this stinky fish and rotten shrimp, are you stupid or am I stupid?” She Jingxi couldn’t help but mock.

”You...!” Zhao Tianming also got angry.

”No matter what, I saved your life. Is this how you talk to your savior?”

”What do you want?!” She Jingxi’s face instantly turned cold, and her entire being erupted with the Aura of Soul Transformation.

She hated people who demanded repayment for favors.
