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

237: Chen Xuan, say something!“I naturally trust what the Zhang Family Head says. Since that’s the case, we shall take our leave first.” Zhou Kai cupped his hands and was about to lead his people away.

“No, you can’t leave,” Xiao Hongmei suddenly said.

“Madame Zhang, is there anything else?”

“Chen Xuan once said that as long as he was still in my Zhang family, he would provide Qi Luck Peach Blossom to my Zhang family. But today’s Peach Blossoms… seem not to have been handed over yet, right?”

Dragon YuYan’s anger flared upon hearing this, and she was about to retort, but Zhang Wei interrupted her: “Hey, Hongmei, what are you doing! Zhou Kai and I are close friends, how could I covet a single day’s Peach Blossoms? Let them leave!” Zhang Wei quickly stepped in to smooth things over.

Now they understood.

None of the people present were fools; they could tell at a glance what was going on. It was nothing more than a charade, and Zhang Wei just didn’t want to be the bad guy.

But because Zhang Wei said it that way, it made it impossible for others to retort.

“Hmph, you heartless man!” Xiao Hongmei gave Chen Xuan a coquettish glare, but the person she was scolding was Zhang Wei.

“As the head of the Zhang family, you must be very clear about the value of these Peach Blossoms. And from the beginning, my Zhang family had an agreement with them, so today’s share must be accounted for; not a single Peach Blossom should be missing!”

“This…” Zhang Wei looked at everyone helplessly, then said with a forced smile to Xiao Hongmei: “Haha, Hongmei is right, I really was a bit confused. Chen Xuan, today is the last day, so I’ll trouble you to deliver today’s Qi Luck Peach Blossom to my Zhang family again!”

Zhang Wei shook his head helplessly, turning to look at Chen Xuan. His tone seemed helpless, but his eyes told a different story.

Seeing this, Chen Xuan also smiled faintly. He naturally knew this was Zhang Wei doing it on purpose, but he didn’t retort. Instead, he nodded obediently: “Alright, Madame Zhang has treated me well. Although I have repaid her before, I feel it’s far from enough, and I will repay her more in the future… I will go and deliver today’s Qi Luck Peach Blossom to the Zhang family right away!”

With that, Chen Xuan spread his palm, and seven Peach Blossoms of various colors slowly appeared.

“Madame Zhang, these are today’s Peach Blossoms. Please keep them safe. Of course, this small gesture is not enough to repay your kindness, in the future… I will naturally repay you!”

Xiao Hongmei was no longer the Xiao Hongmei of yesteryear; she could still fully understand the meaning behind Chen Xuan’s words. However, she didn’t care, as it wouldn’t be long before she…

But seeing Chen Xuan about to leave her, she still felt a surge of pique: “Since you said you would repay me, why are you leaving today? Is this how you repay me? In my opinion, why don’t you stay? My Zhang family will provide the best resources to cultivate you; it’s no worse than their Academy!”

“This…”

“Enough!”

Seeing Chen Xuan in a difficult position, Dragon YuYan couldn’t hold back. She was already very annoyed because Chen Xuan was forced to work, and now they wouldn’t even let her beloved disciple leave; it was simply too much bullying!

“Madame Zhang, what you’re saying is wrong. My disciple has stayed in your Zhang family for so long and cultivated so many Qi Luck Peach Blossom for the Zhang family; I’m sure you know that. Now, the Academy Grand Competition is approaching, and I must take him back to participate. How can I let him stay in your Zhang family any longer?”

Dragon YuYan’s gaze was like a torch, staring at Xiao Hongmei, responding without ceremony.

“Heh, Long… Fairy, what you’re saying is wrong. Chen Xuan is originally a member of my Zhang family. His departure was originally something my Zhang family allowed, it’s just that now we don’t quite want to do that. Don’t overstep and meddle in our affairs!”

“What’s more… you don’t seem to have planned to properly cultivate Chen Xuan either. He’s just an outsider in your team!”

Xiao Hongmei snorted coldly, a hint of displeasure on her face.

“Nonsense!” Yu Gang quickly stepped forward to stop her.

“Chen Xuan is my beloved disciple, a treasure of our Academy. How could we possibly not value him? Not letting him into the Monster Group is just out of fear of harming him. We have… other arrangements for him!”

“Oh? Is that so? Then why do I see you treating him differently?”

“Hmph, what you’re saying is all nonsense! Since that’s the case, then please ask Chen Xuan and see if he is willing to continue staying in the Zhang family or return with us to participate in the Academy Grand Competition!” Dragon YuYan sneered.

She was very confident in her position in Chen Xuan’s heart.

Xiao Hongmei’s expression grew even uglier upon hearing this. She looked at Chen Xuan: “Chen Xuan, tell me, are you willing to stay or go back to the Academy with them to participate in the Academy Grand Competition?”

At the same time, Xiao Hongmei secretly transmitted: “Chen Xuan! This bad woman is so annoying, I don’t like her!”

“Exactly, Xuan’er, tell me, what do you really think?”

At the same time, Dragon YuYan also transmitted to him: “Chen Xuan! Your Shiniang hates her, you must help your Shiniang vent her anger!”

“I… this… I…!” Chen Xuan was no longer at a loss for how to choose; instead, he was sweating profusely trying to figure out how to survive this situation.

Just as Chen Xuan was brainstorming, Xiao Hongmei directly said:

“Chen Xuan, say something!”

“Exactly, Xuan’er, say something!”

“I… this… I…!”

“What are you saying, Chen Xuan, you’re making me anxious!” Zhu Zhu also couldn’t help but glance at Xiao Hongmei unhappily.

From her professional perspective, this woman definitely had improper thoughts about Chen Xuan, and she couldn’t let her succeed!

“Big Brother Chen Xuan, aren’t you coming with us?” The rabbit-eared girl also stepped forward pitifully.

Xiao Hongmei thought: ‘Oh no, this woman is so devious, letting so many women distract my husband!’

So she proudly puffed out her chest, unwilling to be outdone.

Chen Xuan was completely numb. Are you trying to rebel? The more people there are, the more trouble you cause me, right? Alright, alright, you all just wait for me to settle this!

“Cough, cough.”

“Madame Zhang, there’s no need to say more about this matter. I am not an ungrateful person; your kindness is etched in my heart. However, I already have a deep bond with the ‘Academy.’ My departure from the Zhang family this time is also to cultivate properly, improve my strength, and thus better repay your kindness.”

Chen Xuan said with a slight frown.

Seeing him like this, Xiao Hongmei didn’t dare to make any more fuss and quickly waved her hand: “Alright, what you’re saying is within my expectations. Go, just remember not to forget me… the Zhang family!”

“Madame Zhang, rest assured, I still have things I haven’t fulfilled, so I naturally won’t forget. And no matter where I am, I will never forget my ‘original intention’!”

Upon hearing this, a blush flashed across Xiao Hongmei’s cheeks.

My husband really is a naughty one, insisting… insisting on doing it in her Dao field, with Zhang Wei outside, he’s truly too wicked!
