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

448: Ye Xingchen’s killing line“Su Yao!!! No, Su Yao!” Ye Xingchen screamed like a madman, staring at the shattered corpse before him.

“Who! Who dares to sneak attack me! I will refine you into a demonic puppet, never to be reborn!”

“Ding! Congratulations to the Host for greatly altering the plot of the Child of Luck, Ye Xingchen! Rewarding 66,666 Heaven’s Mandate Value, 1 True Immortal Intelligence-Reducing Stone, 1 ‘Gale Sword Art’, 1 Ink Sac Fish, 10 random high-grade talismans, and 66 lottery draws!”

“Hmm, the items are acceptable. I won’t complain about you this time.”

“What lowly scoundrel, show yourself!” Accompanied by an angry shout, Ye Xingchen’s figure appeared before Chen Xuan like a ghost.

“Long time no see, Xingchen.” Chen Xuan looked at Ye Xingchen with a calm expression.

“You… Elder Chen Xuan? Why are you here? Was Su Yao… killed by you?” Ye Xingchen’s eyes widened, his face filled with disbelief as he looked at the person before him.

Seeing Chen Xuan, his mind instantly became a mess, completely unable to understand why he would see Elder Chen Xuan here.

One must know that in the entire Feixian Sect, Chen Xuan had always been the only good person he believed in. All those other so-called Senior Brothers and Elders were either selfish, scheming, or cold-blooded and unhelpful—all heartless scoundrels.

However, the one who had killed Su Yao and stood before him was Elder Chen Xuan, which left Ye Xingchen utterly shocked and confused.

“Indeed, I’ve actually been here for a while. Before this, I had already asked Sect Master Dong Li to release you, and I was planning to visit you after my secluded Cultivation. Who would have thought that as soon as I arrived at Qingfeng Mountain, I would learn that you had been locked up in the Black Prison by these beasts again!”

“Yes, I’ve been so good to them on a daily basis, but I never expected them to…!”

“I know, I know Xingchen, you’re a good child. When I learned that your Cultivation was crippled and you were locked in the Black Prison, I was so angry my head was spinning. So I thought I had to get revenge for you, Xingchen!

After all, in a hellhole like the Black Prison, losing your Cultivation is equivalent to a death sentence. Do you think I wouldn’t be angry?!”

“Elder Chen Xuan, you truly understand me the most!” Ye Xingchen was so moved he was on the verge of tears. He never expected that when the whole world abandoned him, only Chen Xuan would steadfastly stand on his side!

But… he always felt that something wasn’t quite right.

“But Su Yao, she…” Ye Xingchen murmured in pain, his words caught in his throat as if something was blocking them, making it hard to continue.

“She? She deserved to die!”

“Without concrete evidence, she indiscriminately crippled your Cultivation and heartlessly tried to put you to death. What use is there in keeping such a cruel, morally ambiguous villain? Should she be allowed to continue her evil deeds?”

Hearing Chen Xuan’s words, Ye Xingchen slowly nodded and responded, “Yes, she truly deserved…”

Although he knew deep down that every word Chen Xuan said was reasonable, for some reason, an indescribable pain surged into his heart like a tide, making it almost impossible for him to breathe.

That feeling was as if a large part of his heart had suddenly gone missing, empty and hollow, with cold winds rushing in.

But what exactly had he lost? Was it his former trust and reliance on Su Yao? Or that deep-seated emotion? Or something else important?

Ye Xingchen was at a loss, simply standing there blankly, allowing the pain to continuously erode his Soul.

“And also, you should be aware of Ji Youruo, who has always stayed near you, right? Hmph, that vicious woman with a heart like a snake is also up to no good!” Chen Xuan suddenly said with a face full of resentment.

“What?! What exactly did she do?!” Ye Xingchen’s heart immediately burned with anxiety upon hearing this, and he asked eagerly with wide eyes.

“Hmph, at that time, she actually dared to try and take my Life Qi! Fortunately, Sect Master Dong Li was by my side and intervened in time to stop her. After a battle, that demonic woman was ultimately no match for Sect Master Dong Li. Not only was she defeated, but her Cultivation was also crippled. Finally, this demonic woman was handed over to me to deal with.”

“What happened after that? What was the outcome?”

“After that… hehe, of course, I wouldn’t let her off easily. I used all sorts of methods to torment her. Now, she is already delirious and lost, completely turned into a…!” With that, Chen Xuan revealed a smug smile.

“Elder Chen, you actually…!” Ye Xingchen looked at the person before him with astonishment and disbelief.

“Xingchen! I know you are kind-hearted and soft-hearted, unable to bear such cruel things. But think carefully, if I didn’t treat her like that, someday in the future, the one who dies by her hand might be me! At that time, perhaps you would have to sweep my grave and offer sacrifices!” Chen Xuan said earnestly.

Ye Xingchen bit his lip tightly, his fists clenched and trembling slightly, a trickle of blood slowly flowing from the corner of his mouth. After a moment of silence, he said fiercely, “That’s right, a villain who has committed so many evil deeds like her… truly deserves such punishment!”

“Ding! Congratulations to the Host for preventing the Child of Luck from receiving the enemy’s remorse, and for his mindset to sharply decline due to his beloved being harmed! Rewarding 10,000 Heaven’s Mandate Value, 10 lottery draws! Also, Ye Xingchen has entered the kill zone!”

“Alas…” A long sigh gently escaped Chen Xuan’s lips.

“Elder Chen Xuan, why are you sighing again?” Seeing Chen Xuan sigh, Ye Xingchen, who was beside him, couldn’t help but ask.

“It’s nothing, Xingchen, you have always been a good child.”

“Thank you for the Elder’s praise. This Junior will surely work harder to Cultivate in the future and not disappoint the Elder. It’s just… from now on, I’m afraid I can only embark on the path of demonic Cultivation.” At this point, Xingchen’s voice couldn’t help but become a little low.

“You cannot be blamed for this. If it weren’t for those shameless people wronging you, how could you have been forced into such a situation?!”

Hearing this, Xingchen silently lowered his head. He only felt a surge of vexation in his chest. The blood he had just coughed up upon hearing about Ji Youruo seemed to have taken away all his strength and courage. At this moment, he was no longer as strong as before, and even a desire for death arose in his heart.

Seeing Xingchen so downcast, Chen Xuan walked forward and patted his shoulder: “Alright, cheer up! Your future Dao is still very long, and there are many unknown challenges waiting for you to conquer.”

“Yes! Thank you for the Elder’s teachings. If Elder Chen has no other instructions, then this Junior will take his leave now!”

However, just as Xingchen turned to leave, Chen Xuan suddenly called out to him:

“Wait, don’t go yet. I have a rare treasure here that I want to bestow upon you. This treasure possesses miraculous power. As long as you keep it with you, it will surely help you have a smooth journey in your Cultivation and rise steadily, and it might even allow you to gain a new Life Qi.”
