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

458: Tang Sirui’s Collapse (2 in 1)”What did you say?! You and my Qing Wu... actually did such a thing!” Tang Sirui’s face was filled with rage, veins bulging on his forehead. He glared at Chen Xuan, his eyes wide, as if they could spew fire.

”Chen Xuan! I trusted you so much, always seeing you as a brother with whom I’d share life and death, yet you did such a dirty deed behind my back!” Tang Sirui trembled with anger, his hands clenched into fists, knuckles white from the excessive force.

However, facing Tang Sirui’s accusations and fury, Chen Xuan remained calm: ”Tang Brother, you can’t say that. If I hadn’t taken that action, how could your Qing Wu have been revived?”

”Hmph! I don’t need such a revival at all!” Tang Sirui roared, his eyes instantly turning blood-red. A dense Killing Intent continuously emanated from his body, directed at Chen Xuan without reservation.

But just then, Rou Wu, who had been silent, suddenly spoke: ”Tang Sirui, do you really not want me to be revived so much?” Her voice was soft and melodious, but it contained deep resentment and disappointment.

Hearing Rou Wu’s question, Tang Sirui’s heart tightened, and he quickly waved his hand to explain: ”No, I absolutely didn’t mean that, Qing Wu, please don’t misunderstand...” However, before he could finish speaking, Rou Wu interrupted him.

”So, in your heart, I’m just an object that can be manipulated at will!” Rou Wu’s tears fell like rain, her sorrowful expression heartbreaking.

”It’s not like that, Qing Wu, things are not as you imagine, please let me explain clearly...” Tang Sirui was anxious. He tried to approach Rou Wu, wanting to comfort her and explain everything, but at this moment, Rou Wu was like a wounded cub, constantly retreating and avoiding his approach until she leaned into Chen Xuan’s embrace.

”Heh heh, what’s there to explain? Isn’t this the truth? Chen Xuan kindly saved me, and in the end, what did he get? Your hatred?” Rou Wu’s tone was mocking.

”Could it be that my life is not as important as that so-called... thing?! What kind of logic is this?!”

Tang Sirui, standing by, opened his mouth, wanting to argue, but found his throat seemed to be blocked, unable to utter a single word.

Facing such intense questioning, he felt extremely embarrassed, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

But just then, Chen Xuan quickly stepped forward to mediate: ”Oh, alright, alright, everyone, don’t get so agitated. Ultimately, this matter is my fault for being too hasty at the time and not having enough time to explain the situation clearly to Tang Brother. It’s all my fault, my fault.” He said, waving his hands repeatedly in apology.

”Tang Sirui, open your eyes and take a good look at your pathetic self, then look at Chen Xuan. Now you should finally understand the vast difference between the two of you, shouldn’t you?”

Rou Wu stood with her hands on her hips, acting dramatically, leaning slightly forward, her face full of disdain and mockery, and she continued to mercilessly belittle Tang Sirui.

”Yes, yes, Qing Wu, please don’t be angry, it’s all my fault...” Tang Sirui nodded subserviently, just as he was about to apologize, a thought suddenly flashed through his mind—Chen Xuan and Qing Wu had just walked out of his room!

Thinking of this, his previously lowered head instantly lifted, and a hint of confidence rekindled in his heart.

”Hmph! Alright then, since that’s the case, I want to know exactly what happened last night? Why did the two of you come out of the room next to mine together? Tell me the truth!” Tang Sirui glared, staring intently at the two in front of him, questioning them in a stern tone.

Hearing this, Chen Xuan smiled unhurriedly and explained: ”Oh, so it’s about that, Tang Brother, don’t worry. To be honest, last night, there was a slight instability in Miss Qing Wu’s life Qi, so she specifically invited me to your room for a consultation. And that’s why what you saw just happened.”

”Nonsense! How could there be such a coincidence? No, things are definitely not that simple! I still feel there’s something fishy going on! Chen Xuan, you must tell me the truth today, what kind of shady business did you two do behind my back last night?!”

Tang Sirui clearly did not believe Chen Xuan’s words. He approached him with a suspicious look, ready to get to the bottom of it.

”Alas, let’s move somewhere else to talk! This place is really too cramped and narrow, how can we brothers talk freely here!”

”Hmph, then I’ll believe you this once!” Tang Sirui gritted his teeth, his face grim, and quickly led Chen Xuan to an empty, secluded area.

Once the two stood still, Chen Xuan cleared his throat and said: ”Tang Brother, to be honest, the whole story of this matter is like this...” Then, he began to eloquently fabricate an absurd yet plausible story.

”What? You actually acted like that? And then you dared to openly bring my [Qing Wu] back here? And... how could this be?!”

Tang Sirui’s eyes widened, filled with disbelief. Although he had just heard the full story from Chen Xuan and received confirmation from both Chen Xuan and Qing Wu, he still couldn’t accept this cruel reality.

He had to know, his beloved Qing Wu was now intimately involved with Chen Xuan! This blow was like a bolt from the blue for him.

However, Chen Xuan, facing Tang Sirui’s questioning, merely smiled slightly and calmly explained:

”That’s right, Tang Brother. Previously, by a stroke of Opportunity, I obtained a rare treasure, and it was precisely this treasure that became the key to Qing Wu’s rebirth! Now, Qing Wu has already established a Soul contract with me, and from now on, we can work together to help her reshape her Physical Body. In this way, Qing Wu can truly be resurrected from the dead!”

”You, what kind of plan is this?! You’re clearly harming Qing Wu!” Tang Sirui’s face was filled with pain, and he roared, his voice trembling.

He stared wide-eyed at Chen Xuan, as if he wanted to devour him alive. After all, he simply couldn’t accept such a cruel reality—his beloved Qing Wu had actually become Chen Xuan’s Soulmate!

Was there anything in the world more unbearable than this? He would rather eat dirt than accept such a thing happening to him!

Chen Xuan looked at the almost frantic Tang Sirui, and couldn’t help but inwardly chuckle, but he still explained earnestly:

”Tang Brother, please calm down and listen to me. Actually, what happened was not what I wanted, I am absolutely not the kind of person who violates a female cultivator’s wishes! All of this was her willing choice.”

”You... what did you say?!” Tang Sirui roared in disbelief, veins bulging on his forehead, ”Do you take me for a three-year-old child? Who would believe such nonsense! How could my Qing Wu willingly be with you? She’s so pure and innocent, you must have used some despicable means to deceive her!”

Just then, Rou Wu, standing by, bit her lip lightly, a blush rising on her face, and then she spoke with a hint of shyness:

”Tang Sirui, face the reality. I... truly am willing to let Chen Xuan revive me...”

She had only spoken half a sentence when she seemed to suddenly realize something and quickly lowered her head. Her shy demeanor was truly pitiable.

”What an actress!” Chen Xuan couldn’t help but exclaim at the sight.

”No! This can’t be true! You must be colluding to trick me, right? This is just a joke, right?” Tang Sirui shrieked hysterically, tears welling in his eyes.

Although he was still vehemently denying it, deep down, he already believed this terrifying truth by ninety percent. The remaining ten percent was merely the last shred of fantasy left in his heart.

”Ding, congratulations to the host for successfully shattering Tang Sirui’s Dao Heart, rewarding 10,000 Heaven’s Mandate Value, and 10 lottery draws! At the same time, Tang Sirui has entered the host’s kill line. The host can kill the Child of Luck, Tang Sirui, at any time to obtain massive rewards!”

”Tang Brother, stop fantasizing. The three of us should think about how to live our lives from now on!” Chen Xuan said after receiving the System notification, patting Tang Sirui’s shoulder.

”Moreover, do you think with my weak strength, I can so easily restore Qing Wu’s Physical Body? I still need one more thing. Only by obtaining this thing can Qing Wu truly be revived.”

”What thing?” Tang Sirui wiped his tears, asking confusedly.

He was unable to think clearly now.

”That is, you!” Chen Xuan looked at Tang Sirui with firm eyes, ”I know, you’ve always cared deeply about Qing Wu. In your heart, there’s only her. So, I hope you can help me find this thing. Only you can truly revive Qing Wu.”

”Me?” Tang Sirui was stunned. He hadn’t expected Chen Xuan to say such a thing.

He was silent for a long time, then finally nodded: ”Alright, I promise you, I will help you find that thing, but you must guarantee Qing Wu’s safety, otherwise, I will definitely make you pay the price.”

”You can rest assured, no matter what, even if I have to exert all my strength, even pay the price of my life, I will definitely protect Qing Wu and ensure she is unharmed, never letting her suffer even the slightest injury.” Chen Xuan said with piercing eyes and a resolute tone.

Hearing this, Tang Sirui was slightly startled, then responded: ”Alright, since that’s the case, then tell me quickly, what is this important thing?”

Chen Xuan’s lips curled into a strange smile, and then he slowly said: ”Didn’t I just tell you? That thing, is you!”

Tang Sirui frowned upon hearing this, and asked with a puzzled expression: ”What do you want me to do?”

Chen Xuan suddenly threw his head back and laughed heartily, his laughter echoing in the air, seeming somewhat sinister. He said while laughing:

”Hahaha, Tang Brother, have you gone mad? Think about it, if you were still alive, how could Qing Wu abandon you and choose to be with me! So... only when you die will Qing Wu belong to me alone!”

”You... what did you say?!”

Chen Xuan’s words were like a bolt from the blue, stirring up a thousand waves in Tang Sirui’s heart.

He was consumed by fury, his eyes almost spitting fire.

”Chen Xuan, how dare you deceive me like this! Today, I will tear you to shreds!” Tang Sirui roared, an endless Killing Intent emanating from his entire body. His fists were clenched tightly, his eyes piercing, and a powerful aura diffused from within him.

”Tsk tsk, as expected of someone with Luck, in just a few months, you’ve actually reached the Undergoing Tribulation cultivation level! But... do you think you can kill me just because you’ve reached Undergoing Tribulation?” Chen Xuan mocked, as if ridiculing Tang Sirui’s naivety.

If it weren’t for the System’s kill line, he wouldn’t bother wasting time with Tang Sirui; he would have slapped him to death long ago!

However, wasting time with him also had its benefits, just like the entire process of Rou Wu joining the Gardenia organization, which simply made him addicted and unable to stop.

Tang Sirui no longer spoke. He lunged at Chen Xuan, his fists raining down like a storm. The sound of his fists whistling through the air was like a beast roaring, carrying endless fury and Killing Intent.

Seeing this, Chen Xuan’s lips curled into a cold smile. His figure flickered, turning into an afterimage, easily dodging Tang Sirui’s attack. He leaped into the air, clenching his fists, and struck at Tang Sirui like lightning.

Boom!

With a loud bang, two powerful forces collided, creating a strong shockwave. The surrounding trees shook, and leaves fluttered down.

Tang Sirui was directly sent flying by this powerful force, but there was no fear on his face; instead, his anger intensified.

Then, he roared, his entire body emitting a golden light, and a powerful aura burst forth from within him. A divine hammer appeared in his hand.

”Chen Xuan, die!” Tang Sirui roared. He formed hand seals and chanted an obscure incantation. As the incantation was sung, the divine hammer in his hand condensed a golden light, dazzling like the scorching sun.

This was the fortune he had gained in Slaughter City, and few remembered this move of his.

Then, Tang Sirui sneered, his whole body shimmering with golden light, and the divine hammer in his hand glowed even brighter, emitting terrifying pressure. He stomped on the ground, and his entire being rushed towards Chen Xuan like a streak of light, the divine hammer in his hand like a giant mountain, smashing fiercely at Chen Xuan.

Chen Xuan’s eyes narrowed slightly, and the mockery on his face deepened. He didn’t even dodge, but simply stood there quietly.

”Courting death!” Tang Sirui roared, and the divine hammer in his hand smashed fiercely at Chen Xuan. However, just as the divine hammer was about to touch Chen Xuan, Chen Xuan suddenly raised his hand.

At that moment, it was as if time had stopped. Tang Sirui only felt an irresistible force erupt from Chen Xuan’s palm, instantly shattering his divine hammer.

At the same time, he himself was sent flying by that force, falling heavily to the ground, spitting out a mouthful of blood, his internal organs suffering varying degrees of injury.

”You... you’re not Chen Xuan! Who exactly are you?!”
