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

489: Pretend to be drunk“Hey, I’m here. What’s wrong, Chen Xuan? Are you feeling unwell?” Immortal Qinglan asked with concern, gently patting Chen Xuan’s back.

“I… What kind of immortal brew is this? I feel so unwell!” Chen Xuan’s face was filled with “agony.” He reached out and grabbed Immortal Qinglan’s jade hand.

“Ah?!” Immortal Qinglan, caught completely off guard, was startled when a large hand suddenly tightly gripped her jade hand, but she dared not make a sound.

She instinctively tried to pull away, but the hand held her wrist firmly, making it impossible for her to shake free.

“Immortal Qinglan… I… I’m truly in so much pain! It feels like the whole world is spinning. What exactly is going on? Why is this happening?”

Chen Xuan’s hazy eyes struggled to open a slit, his gaze focusing on Immortal Qinglan’s exquisite face, a deep plea evident in his eyes.

And Immortal Qinglan, seeing Chen Xuan’s tormented appearance, couldn’t help but soften.

After all, this was also…

However, at this moment, she herself was in a state of panic, unable to think of a countermeasure for a while, and could only stand dumbly in place, allowing Chen Xuan to hold her hand tightly.

“Immortal Qinglan… I miss you so much…” Chen Xuan murmured, his voice low and filled with deep affection.

Then he suddenly reached forward and pulled Immortal Qinglan tightly into his embrace.

In an instant, Immortal Qinglan’s delicate body trembled, and she instinctively tried to break free.

However, due to her Cultivation Technique, she had never… for many years, so such contact between them made her entire body…

“Chen Xuan, wake up! I’m your… Ah!” Immortal Qinglan was extremely anxious, trying to awaken Chen Xuan’s consciousness.

However, Chen Xuan at this moment seemed to be trapped in a deep dream, oblivious to Immortal Qinglan’s calls.

He just kept his eyes tightly shut, burying his head deep into Immortal Qinglan’s neck, greedily inhaling the faint fragrance emanating from her, while continuously muttering: “Don’t leave me… Don’t leave me…”

“Thump, thump, thump!”

Immortal Qinglan’s heartbeat grew faster and faster.

She suddenly regretted why she had agreed to Brother Qing Shan’s suggestion for Chen Xuan and him to swap houses. If not for that, Chen Xuan wouldn’t have gotten drunk, and certainly wouldn’t have started acting crazy, doing this to her…

But now, since it had already happened, she could only try her best to comfort Chen Xuan and help him sober up.

“Chen Xuan, let go of elder sister, elder sister will get you some hangover tea!” Immortal Qinglan said softly.

Chen Xuan heard her words, slowly released his grip, and then leaned back onto the sofa.

Seeing this, Immortal Qinglan quickly got up and went to the kitchen to prepare hangover tea for Chen Xuan.

And just as she was casting her magic to boil the tea, she suddenly found Chen Xuan’s figure also appearing in the kitchen, and then Chen Xuan’s face got closer and closer to her, until she was embraced fully by him from the front.

“Chen Xuan!?! You… You let go of me!” Immortal Qinglan’s face was flushed, and she gently pushed Chen Xuan, but Chen Xuan’s embrace was like iron tongs, no matter how she “struggled,” she couldn’t break free.

“(That address cannot be said), help me, I’m truly in so much pain! Or, just give me a quick end!” Chen Xuan continued to feign pain, looking at Immortal Qinglan with a helpless expression.

Just kidding, with the Immortal Soul of the tree of life, how could he possibly get drunk? Metabolizing and absorbing the energy of this immortal brew was simply too easy!

Immortal Qinglan, seeing the suffering Chen Xuan, her heart immediately softened. She bit her lip, sighed, and then sat on the kitchen counter, reaching out to gently caress his cheek, trying to alleviate his pain.

However, while coaxing Chen Xuan, Immortal Qinglan still noticed something was off.

She had been in contact with Chen Xuan for so long, yet there wasn’t even a hint of alcohol on him! One must know that her cultivation was True Immortal Late Stage, and even after drinking this immortal brew, she still had a slight smell of alcohol on her. How could Chen Xuan, a Human Immortal Early Stage who was just starting out, not have any alcohol smell, unless he…

!!!!!

“Chen Xuan, you… you’re not drunk?!” Immortal Qinglan looked at Chen Xuan in surprise.

“Ah? What did you say? I’m in so much pain!”

“Stop pretending, there’s not a single trace of alcohol on you!” Immortal Qinglan sighed, staring at Chen Xuan, her eyes flashing with complex emotions.

“Uh… I didn’t expect Immortal Qinglan… to be so smart! Yes, I’m not drunk.” Chen Xuan returned to normal, nodded, a hint of slyness in his eyes.

“Then, then why are you pretending to be drunk here? What do you intend to do?! You… What do you want to do?” Immortal Qinglan looked at Chen Xuan nervously, a bad premonition rising in her heart.

“Lan’er, actually… I’ve always admired you and Brother Qing Shan. You support each other and overcome difficulties together in the Cultivation World, which makes me very envious.” Chen Xuan said slowly.

“You…” Immortal Qinglan was stunned for a moment, a strange feeling in her heart.

“I know you also have many difficulties in the Cultivation World, so I thought, if there’s an opportunity, I will do my best to help you.” Chen Xuan continued.

Immortal Qinglan looked at Chen Xuan’s charming eyes, feeling even more nervous.

“Chen, Brother Chen Xuan, I thank you.” Immortal Qinglan said softly.

“But you…”

“No need to thank me, my Lan’er. Brother Qing Shan also said before, didn’t he? We are an intimately close family! Since that’s the case, helping each other is just the most normal thing.”

Chen Xuan smiled, his gaze gentle as he looked at the shy and lovely Immortal Qinglan before him, and said softly.

Immortal Qinglan’s pretty face flushed upon hearing his words, and she quickly withdrew her jade hand that had been resting on Chen Xuan’s face.

“Um… Chen Xuan, I… I should go check on Brother Qing Shan first.”

Immortal Qinglan said, looking down, a little flustered. Before she finished speaking, she intended to get off the counter and slip away.

However, Chen Xuan was even quicker, stepping forward and directly wrapping his arms around her, gently lifting her entire body from the counter into his embrace.

“Lan’er, why are you leaving? Aren’t we family? Look, I’ve done so much for you, can’t you do something for me?” Chen Xuan held Immortal Qinglan tightly, then picked her up and placed her back on the counter, and he himself leaned in close, pressing tightly against her.

Thump! Thump, thump, thump!

Immortal Qinglan felt the Qi from Chen Xuan’s body, and her heart began to beat uncontrollably again.

She wanted to break free, but Chen Xuan’s strength was surprisingly “great,” and she simply couldn’t escape.

After all, she was only True Immortal Late Stage, while Chen Xuan was Human Immortal Early Stage!

And she hadn’t been in contact with the opposite sex for many years, so now… isn’t it normal to be weak!

“Chen Xuan, let go of me, are you crazy? This is the kitchen!”

“Lan’er, don’t you think it’s good here? I think it’s very good, very warm, very comfortable, just like… our home.” Chen Xuan’s voice sounded in Immortal Qinglan’s ear, making her feel a surge of panic.

(Feeling like I’m going to be put in the black room.)
