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

558: You’re about to leave, but you’re still playing with fire“Big Brother, you’re finally here! I’ve been waiting for you for a long time. I didn’t know Sister-in-law was coming too; it’s my fault for being impolite,” Chen Xuan said, looking at Xia Chuwei with a hint of inquiry in his eyes.

Seeing this, Xia Chuwei lowered her head and remained silent.

“Don’t ask what you shouldn’t ask!” Yu Guili didn’t want to bother with Chen Xuan at all.

“Yu Guili! How can you talk like that? He called you Big Brother, and you’re not even giving him a good look!” Seeing Yu Guili’s cold attitude towards Chen Xuan, Xia Chuwei immediately became displeased.

“Chu Wei, he’s just a mere…”

“That’s still not right!” Xia Chuwei said, parting her red lips.

Before her words finished, she had already moved with light lotus steps, actively approaching Chen Xuan. Her beautiful eyes swirled, gazing at the young man before her with deep affection.

“Little Xuan, please don’t take his words to heart. He’s always been like that. If there’s anything that makes you unhappy, you must tell Sister-in-law, alright? Sister-in-law… will compensate you well!”

As Xia Chuwei spoke, she slightly lowered her head, and a blush quietly crept onto her fair, jade-like cheeks.

They were about to leave, and this woman was still playing with fire.

Chen Xuan couldn’t help but grin, looking at his Sister-in-law’s shy and adorable appearance: “Hehe, Sister-in-law, what are you talking about! Big Brother is kindly taking me out to see the world; he’s really good to me. You truly don’t need to worry!”

Hearing Chen Xuan’s words, Xia Chuwei nodded gently and softly replied, “Mmm, that’s good then. Sister-in-law came here specially this time, and there’s actually nothing else; I just simply wanted to see… you, Big Brother, off.”

“So that’s how it is, Big Brother! Look how kind and thoughtful Sister-in-law is! To be able to marry such a gentle and virtuous woman like Sister-in-law, this is truly a blessing cultivated in a past life!” Chen Xuan said with a smile, teasing Yu Guili.

Yu Guili heard this, the corners of his mouth slightly curved upwards, and he snorted softly, “Hmph, do I need you to remind me of that? It’s getting late; let’s get going quickly so we don’t miss anything.”

“Right, right, right! Let’s set off quickly then. It wouldn’t be good to be late,” Chen Xuan quickly agreed. Thus, the two embarked on their journey together, their figures gradually fading into the distance.

…

After bidding farewell to Xia Chuwei, Chen Xuan and Yu Guili’s figures quickly disappeared into the distance.

Not long after, Yu Guili simply waved his hand, summoning several fawning lackeys. These people followed Chen Xuan and Yu Guili with ingratiating expressions, and the group grandly headed towards the central Spatial Tunnel.

The Spatial Tunnel was located at the core of the entire Immortal Realm, surrounded by swirling clouds and mist, mysterious and unfathomable.

From afar, it looked like a giant silver vortex, emitting a heart-palpitating glow. When everyone finally arrived before the Spatial Tunnel, a powerful energy fluctuation surged forth, leaving them in awe.

Chen Xuan curiously surveyed the magnificent structure before him, secretly marveling. At this moment, he heard Yu Guili speak: “This place was constructed by the Space Immortal, who expended countless efforts. Its purpose is to allow passage to any corner of the Immortal Realm. If you wish to travel or carry out missions in the future, you will need to utilize this Spatial Tunnel.

However, there is one thing you must remember: no matter who wishes to use this Spatial Tunnel for travel, they must obtain my personal consent or that of the Immortal Venerable. Otherwise, those who trespass without permission will be severely punished.”

“Now, I will personally demonstrate to you how this thing is to be used!”

Saying this, he stepped forward and walked to a huge stone tablet beside the Spatial Tunnel.

He extended his right hand, gently pressed it onto the stone tablet, and began to chant. A moment later, the stone tablet suddenly burst forth with dazzling light, and then, a complex and mysterious rune pattern slowly emerged.

As the rune pattern appeared, the Spatial Tunnel slowly opened, its interior shimmering with light, as if beckoning everyone.

Seeing this, Yu Guili stepped in first, followed closely by Chen Xuan, and the lackeys also entered in a continuous stream.

After a moment of dizziness, everyone found themselves inside a large palace and then walked out.

Outside the palace was a bustling and lively place.

The surroundings were ornately carved and painted, ancient and elegant, and the people coming and going were all dressed lavishly with extraordinary temperaments, clearly a high-society gathering.

Yu Guili strode forward with his head held high. Chen Xuan looked around curiously, only to see that in the courtyard ahead, everyone was gathered, enjoying tea and music, chatting and laughing freely.

A middle-aged man in a brocade robe saw Yu Guili, stood up, and laughed, “Brother Yu, you’re finally here; I’ve been waiting for you for a long time.” Yu Guili nodded slightly in greeting, then instructed Chen Xuan:

“This time, you can also gain some experience here. Do you see the guards over there? I’ve already told them in advance; you can go directly to them for work handover. Be sure to pay attention and don’t let anyone disrupt the order of the gathering.”

After saying this, Yu Guili didn’t want to hear what Chen Xuan had to say and left directly.

“He really treats me like a guard! But this is good too; it’ll be convenient for me to do my own things,” Chen Xuan said, then dropped a seed in a corner before walking towards the guard team.

“Rumble!!!”

The next instant, the sky was covered in dark clouds, with lightning and thunder.

“This is… a Heavenly Tribulation? Which Fellow Daoist is Undergoing Tribulation here?”

“Yes, looking at its power, it seems to be quite significant! Whose Qilin child is this?” Many noble families exclaimed.

“However, this person really doesn’t know how to pick a place. This is where we enjoy ourselves, but someone is Undergoing Tribulation…”

In an instant, strong winds howled, making everyone’s clothes flap loudly. Large raindrops, like beans, fell fiercely with the strong wind, and the world was plunged into Chaos.

The tribulation clouds in the sky were like a black mountain, heavily pressing down on everyone’s heads. Lightning flashed within them, and purple electricity streaked across, each flash of lightning accompanied by a deafening roar, as if to tear the heavens and earth apart.

Aside from the core members of the noble families with high cultivation, the onlookers also let out cries of surprise. Some showed expressions of terror, hastily retreating, while others widened their eyes, staring intently at the sky, their faces filled with shock and envy.

However, a certain carefree guard in the corner didn’t even lift his head, leisurely eating the delicacy in his hand.

“This Lightning Tribulation… is not an ordinary Lightning Tribulation!!” an old man said.

“Indeed, which great being is Undergoing Tribulation here?!”

Just as everyone was discussing, a figure slowly rose from the center of the Lightning Tribulation—it was Chen Xuan.
