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

434: Meal replacement? Meal!“But, but…” Qinglan Jade looked conflicted.

“Fairy, no more ‘buts,’ just agree to me. I promise, from now on, I will cherish you, protect you, and make you forever happy!”

Chen Xuan looked at Qinglan Jade and continued:

“Moreover, I can find an even more beautiful place for you all. For example, we can go to an Immortal Mountain, where it’s like spring all year round, with picturesque scenery, and many rare Spirit Medicine that can make your Cultivation smoother.”

“Hmph… Chen Xuan, you speak so nicely! I will absolutely not be deceived by your sweet words!” Qinglan Jade snorted coldly.

But in her heart, she had already begun to yearn for the life Chen Xuan described.

“These aren’t sweet words, this is… Hehehe!”

Chen Xuan stopped pretending, directly picked up Qinglan Fairy, and rushed into the tent.

“Fairy…”

…

With their cooperation, Chen Xuan successfully completed the marriage proposal process, and Qinglan Jade had been diligently adapting to the role of Qinglan Fairy.

After a night of busy work, amidst the scolding threats from “Qinglan Fairy,” the marriage proposal was finally completed smoothly.

Qinglan Jade lay tiredly on the bed, looking at Chen Xuan with a helpless expression:

“You… you hateful little thief, I… I will absolutely not let you succeed!”

Upon hearing this, Chen Xuan’s heart bloomed with joy.

Qinglan Jade was truly amazing; she knew she was a substitute, yet she still wanted to try her best to make the substitute feel authentic. Who could resist that?

“Not let me succeed? Hehehe, don’t you look at yourself now, is there anywhere that isn’t… Hmm?” Chen Xuan looked at the slightly dirty Qinglan Jade and laughed loudly.

“…Alright! Since you’ve said so, then I’ll agree to you.” Qinglan Jade said with a blushing face. “But, you must remember what you said: you must cherish me, protect me, and make me forever happy!”

Since it was acting, there naturally had to be a conqueror, otherwise, the plot could not reach its climax.

“Of course, I’m a man of my word!” Chen Xuan said solemnly.

“Alright then, I’ll reluctantly accept your proposal for now. But don’t think for a second that I’ve truly been fooled by you, you sweet-talking little thief.”

“Fairy, with your words, I’m relieved!” Chen Xuan replied with a smile.

Qinglan Jade looked at Chen Xuan in the sunlight, and could no longer suppress the surging emotions in her heart. After casting a water ball spell, she couldn’t help but slowly extend her delicate and smooth arm, like mutton-fat jade, and tightly embraced him.

She knew very well in her heart that ever since she met this seemingly cunning yet incredibly gentle little thief, she had fallen into a bottomless sweet vortex, sinking deeper and deeper, until now she was completely immersed in it and unable to extricate herself.

However, even so, she had no regrets whatsoever.

At this moment, Qinglan Jade’s cheeks were flushed, as Delicate and voluptuous as a ripe apple, and she lowered her head slightly, asking softly in a shy voice as thin as a mosquito’s buzz:

“Then… are we… officially together now?”

This was her question, spoken as her true self, Qinglan Jade.

Upon hearing this, Chen Xuan couldn’t help but grin, his eyes full of doting affection, and he teased, “Of course! Could it be that you’re still thinking about being with someone else?”

Hearing this, Qinglan Jade’s pretty face instantly turned even redder, but at the same time, the corners of her mouth involuntarily curved upwards, forming a smile of immense happiness.

Then, like a docile and obedient kitten, she gently nestled into Chen Xuan’s broad and warm embrace, quietly feeling the reassuring Qi and strong hug from him.

Just like that, the two nestled together, enjoying this warm and beautiful moment, and time seemed to stand still at this instant.

After a long while, Chen Xuan finally reluctantly let go of the beauty in his arms, and began to seriously discuss business with Qinglan Jade.

“I say… Yu’er, I think we don’t need to keep acting for each other anymore, do we?”

Chen Xuan’s lips curved slightly, looking at the woman in front of him with a half-smile, a hint of playfulness flashing in his eyes.

Qinglan Jade was stunned by his words, her eyes wide, her face full of disbelief:

“Wh-what?”

She had never expected Chen Xuan to suddenly say such words, and a wave of panic surged in her heart.

After all, she had always carefully hidden her true identity, thinking it was seamless. But now, Chen Xuan seemed to have seen through everything and directly exposed the truth.

Chen Xuan found it amusing to see Qinglan Jade’s bewildered and flustered expression, but he maintained a gentle look on his face and said softly:

“I said, Yu’er!”

“You… you!!” Qinglan Jade was somewhat flustered by Chen Xuan’s direct gaze, and her body instantly tensed up. At this moment, she felt her heart pounding like a drum, and her cheeks couldn’t help but flush red.

Faced with Chen Xuan’s sudden honesty, she had no idea how to respond.

However, before she could recover, Chen Xuan’s next words were like a thunderclap in her ears:

“Hmm, your husband, me, I knew your true identity from the very beginning, Yu’er!”

“You… you!!!” Qinglan Jade’s voice began to tremble, her face completely red.

These words were like a sharp sword piercing Qinglan Jade’s heart, shocking her beyond measure.

She never imagined that she had been clever all along, while Chen Xuan had already seen through her little tricks. Thinking of this, she felt deeply ashamed and wished she could immediately find a hole to crawl into and never come out to see anyone again.

“What ‘me’? Could it be that, Yu’er, you like that foolish Chen Xuan who couldn’t even guess your true identity?” Chen Xuan laughed.

But at this moment, Qinglan Jade’s mind was in chaos, she didn’t know where she was, nor could she hear what Chen Xuan was saying, various thoughts rushing in.

She only felt that in front of Chen Xuan, she must look like a ridiculous clown, thinking she had deceived him, but in reality, she had already been seen through. This feeling made her feel extremely embarrassed and lost.

The more she thought, the more uncomfortable she felt in her heart. Finally, Qinglan Jade prepared to slip away, to avoid Chen Xuan for now.

But Chen Xuan seemed to have anticipated her move, so he didn’t give her any chance to escape.

He flashed, appearing beside Qinglan Jade like a ghost in an instant, then effortlessly pulled her into his arms.

Qinglan Jade was instantly dumbfounded, her whole body stiffening there.

“What, Yu’er, why are you running? Are you regretting it?” Chen Xuan laughed.

“You… you’re a big bad guy!”

Qinglan Jade’s small face turned red with anger, her beautiful eyes wide, glaring fiercely at Chen Xuan, and she kept muttering:

“Damn it, how can you be so annoying! You clearly saw through my thoughts, but you didn’t expose me, you deliberately watched me make a fool of myself, didn’t you!”

Saying that, she was like a little kitten that had been provoked, baring her claws and teeth, wanting to break free from Chen Xuan’s embrace.

However, Chen Xuan wouldn’t easily let her succeed; instead, he held her even tighter.

Qinglan Jade struggled in vain, and could only retaliate by gently biting Chen Xuan’s shoulder.
