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

607: The job Mu Qingfeng wants”No, you’re not allowed to interact with those people anymore. From now on, you’ll just stay by my side.”

Yu Qingcheng suddenly became jealous, lightly biting Chen Xuan’s arm as she held him.

”You’re quite wicked, with such strong possessiveness!” Chen Xuan said with a smile, playfully pinching her nose.

Hearing what Yu Qingcheng said, he was still very happy inside, after all, he truly loved Yu Qingcheng now.

”Pat!” Yu Qingcheng gently slapped Chen Xuan’s hand away.

”Who told you to be like this? It’s as if I’m your pet. Did I spoil you too much yesterday, making you overconfident?”

”Pat!”

Chen Xuan was equally unwilling to show weakness, patting Yu Qingcheng back.

She hummed softly, obediently yielding on Chen Xuan’s body.

”Hmm…” Yu Qingcheng purred, a hint of cunning flashing in her eyes as she softly said, ”You’re really getting more and more presumptuous.”

Though she chided him, her body snuggled closer, like a docile cat nestled in Chen Xuan’s embrace.

Chen Xuan smiled slightly, reaching out to stroke her hair, and said,

”Qingcheng, do you know? In this world, the only one who can make me so presumptuous is… you, and only you.”

His tone was gentle, but his eyes revealed a hint of determination, as if declaring something.

Yu Qingcheng looked up, her eyes sparkling, and softly said, ”Then you must remember what you said today. If you dare to betray me in the future, I will not forgive you.”

Though her voice was soft, it carried an undeniable authority.

Chen Xuan laughed heartily, saying, ”Though I, Chen Xuan, am not a gentleman, my feelings for you are genuine. If there is any falsehood, may I be struck by lightning!”

Yu Qingcheng’s heart warmed at his words, but she feigned indifference on her face, saying, ”Hmph, smooth talker, who knows what you’re really thinking.”

Though she said this, the corners of her mouth curved slightly upwards, revealing a hint of a smile.

As the two were teasing each other, they suddenly heard a hurried sound of footsteps from afar, as if someone was rushing over.

Yu Qingcheng frowned, and whispered, ”Didn’t I tell you not to disturb me in my room?”

”No, my lady, Young Master Mu Qingfeng, he... he insisted on breaking in!”

”When we servants tried to stop him, he started hitting people, and now, he’s already at the entrance of your palace!” The young maid cried.

”Ah? Qingfeng is here?” Yu Qingcheng was startled, quickly getting up from Chen Xuan’s embrace and starting to tidy herself.

But as she got up, she found fragments all over the floor.

Helpless, she had no choice but to take out another one.

”You look so guilty, it’s written all over your face!” Chen Xuan scoffed.

”Bah, bah, bah! I’m his Revered Master! I can’t just… be so radiant, can I? And you’re not his opponent. If you can’t stop him and he breaks in and sees me, won’t it be you who suffers! Are you stupid!”

”Don’t worry, he can’t get in.”

”Why?”

”Because... you are his Revered Master. Whatever you say, he will treat as a sacred decree. If you don’t believe me, you can wait until he’s outside the door and then give him an order,” Chen Xuan said lightly.

This wasn’t his self-confidence, but rather his familiarity with the ”dog-licking” trope in novels.

”Alright, I know you’re full of bad tricks, alright!” Yu Qingcheng glared at Chen Xuan playfully.

Soon, the two tidied their clothes, and Yu Qingcheng took a deep breath, trying to make herself appear calm and composed.

She gently patted her cheeks, trying to make the blush on her face fade, then turned to Chen Xuan and said, ”You stay here, don’t come out. I’ll go deal with Qingfeng.”

Chen Xuan, however, smiled slightly, with a hint of playfulness in his eyes: ”What? Afraid he’ll see us together? Or afraid he’ll lay hands on me?”

Yu Qingcheng glared at him, a hint of helplessness in her tone: ”Don’t make trouble. Qingfeng is emotionally unstable right now. If he sees you here, he might lose control even more. I don’t want him to hurt you, and I also want to avoid hurting him. After all, he’s my disciple; it’s best if we can have the best of both worlds.”

”Alright, since you put it that way, then I’ll... just watch from behind. After all, I don’t want him to take any advantage.”

Yu Qingcheng gave him an exasperated look, then turned and walked out of the room.

As soon as she stepped out of the door, she saw Mu Qingfeng storming towards her, followed by several maids and guards trying to stop him.

”Qingfeng!” Yu Qingcheng’s voice deepened, carrying a hint of authority, ”What are you doing? Why did you trespass into my palace?”

When Mu Qingfeng saw Yu Qingcheng, the anger in his eyes subsided slightly, but he still couldn’t hide the indignation in his heart.

He quickly walked up to Yu Qingcheng: ”Revered Master, is that shameless Chen Xuan here? I want to kill him with my own hands!”

Yu Qingcheng frowned slightly, her tone carrying a hint of reproach: ”Qingfeng, you are too impulsive. Chen Xuan is my Revered Master... servant. How can you meddle in my affairs like this?”

Mu Qingfeng sneered, his eyes full of disbelief, ”Revered Master, why do you protect him? He’s nothing but an evil demonic Daoist, completely unworthy of being by your side! If you need someone to serve you, I can do it. Why let such a person tarnish your reputation?”

He had thought about it all night and finally came up with this method that would satisfy both parties.

Yu Qingcheng’s heart trembled slightly at his words.

She finally understood why Mu Qingfeng had come this time; his real goal was to take Chen Xuan’s job!

But the current Yu Qingcheng was no longer the ignorant person she once was. After being taught by Chen Xuan, her ”coach,” she had long understood right from wrong.

”Qingfeng, you are my most trusted disciple, but there are some things you don’t need to ask about. Chen Xuan is useful to me, and I know what I’m doing.”

”Useful?” Mu Qingfeng’s voice suddenly rose, a hint of pain flashing in his eyes, ”Revered Master, what kind of spell has he cast on you? How could a person like him be useful to you? He will only tarnish your reputation and destroy everything you have!”

When Mu Qingfeng heard Yu Qingcheng refuse his ”job” request, the jealousy in his eyes intensified.

”Enough! My affairs are none of your business!” Yu Qingcheng suddenly yelled, her expression becoming impatient.

”Exactly! You can control yourself, but can you control others?” Chen Xuan slowly walked out, wrapping his arm around Yu Qingcheng’s slender waist.

Yu Qingcheng was startled; she hadn’t expected Chen Xuan to do that, but she didn’t say much either.

Chen Xuan was right; there shouldn’t be anything between Revered Master and disciple...

”Chen Xuan? What are you doing?! Let go of her!” Mu Qingfeng’s eyes were bloodshot with rage.

”Ding! Son of Luck Mu Qingfeng’s mindset exploded, rewarding the host with 1000 Heaven’s Mandate Value and 1 lottery chance!”

”Huh?”

”No, what’s going on, System? Why did he only give out so little Heaven’s Mandate Value this time?”

”Ding! Yu Qingcheng’s reward has not been claimed by the host!”

”Oh, I almost forgot if you hadn’t mentioned it. But... let’s talk after I beat him up!”

Saying that, Chen Xuan picked up Yu Qingcheng and punched the attacking Mu Qingfeng.
