The protagonist stole my spiritual root? Hey, heroine, give birth to me!

Chapter 516 Separate Searches, the Nagging Girl

"How could I possibly be afraid of him! Humph, I'm just..." Leng Ruoyun's beautiful face flushed slightly with embarrassment and anger, and her bright, star-like eyes were now somewhat evasive, showing that she was a little guilty and lacked confidence.

Seeing this, Lady Crimson Flame shook her head gently and sighed, "Your invincible Dao heart seems to have been shattered by that Chen Xuan. Once your Dao heart is damaged, it will be incredibly difficult to continue pursuing the Great Dao in the future!"

Hearing this, Leng Ruoyun's heart skipped a beat, but she still retorted firmly, "Impossible! Absolutely impossible! The reason I lost to Chen Xuan was simply because the situation was urgent, and I didn't have time to use the powerful treasures my father gave me. If I could have another chance, and be fully prepared, I... I would definitely be able to completely defeat Chen Xuan!"

"Come on, stop being so stubborn! Didn't Chen Xuan already loot all your treasures? Do you have some hidden treasures?"

"You... shut up! Don't mention this again! Who said he took all my treasures? I still have some hidden treasures I haven't taken out yet! I'm going to settle accounts with him right now!" Leng Ruoyun stomped her feet in anger, her cheeks puffed up like a cute little pufferfish.

After saying that, she flashed away, transforming into a streak of light and speeding off in another direction.

Watching Leng Ruoyun's departing figure, Yan Nishang shook her head helplessly and murmured softly, "Sigh, she's still just a pampered young lady who hasn't experienced the harsh realities of life! Like a flower carefully nurtured in a greenhouse, she can't withstand even the slightest setback or blow. If this continues, when will she ever truly grow up?"

After speaking, Yan Nishang smiled disdainfully, flicked her sleeves, turned around and flew slowly forward, gradually disappearing into the horizon.

"Hey, Mr. Lan, look up at the sky! There's a woman standing up there! Look at her, so aloof and beautiful!"

At the mine, Li Jingyi suddenly transmitted her voice to Chen Xuan.

Hearing Li Jingyi's words, Chen Xuan couldn't help but smile: "Little Fellow Daoist Li, you've spoken a bit too frankly. If you continue to speak so unrestrainedly, even I might mistakenly think that you no longer resent me." His tone was slightly teasing.

Upon hearing this, Li Jingyi's pretty face flushed red with anger. She gave a soft, coquettish snort, then stretched out her fair, jade-like hand and forcefully pinched the delicate hairpin on her head to express her dissatisfaction.

"Alright, alright, don't be angry. Actually, that woman upstairs came here specifically to find me. Now, you just need to do as I say."

After saying that, Chen Xuan began to explain the countermeasures in detail.

However, upon hearing this, Li Jingyi's expression grew even more worried: "Lord Lan, what exactly do you intend to do? Isn't it better for you to stay hidden here? Why do you insist on showing yourself? What if something goes wrong?"

"Since that woman came alone, she is naturally easier to deal with. If I keep hiding here, I might end up in a situation where I can't get anything from either side."

"But if you don't go out, you're still safe for now..."

But before Li Jingyi could finish speaking, Chen Xuan interrupted her, saying, "Oh dear, Fellow Daoist Li, could it be that you've really fallen for this 'bad guy'? Otherwise, why would you be so concerned about my safety?"

"Pah! What a joke! How could I possibly fall in love with someone like you! Don't be so self-important! But... for now, you're still one of the people I'm relatively close to!"

After all, I ascended here alone through countless hardships, and the journey was incredibly boring and lonely. If even you are no longer here…” Li Jingyi crossed her arms, turned her head away with a haughty expression, and kept muttering to herself.

This is a girl who loves to share and talks incessantly.

It seems that no one listened to her after she ascended to heaven, and she must have been feeling quite stifled.

"Alright, I know everything. Stop talking about these unnecessary things. Just listen to my arrangements, you won't go wrong. Don't worry about it anymore."

Upon hearing this, Li Jingyi, though still dissatisfied, refrained from saying anything further after hearing Chen Xuan's confident words.

She gave a soft snort and pouted reluctantly, but in the end she still chose to obediently follow Chen Xuan's instructions and do as he asked.

Leng Ruoyun, who was in the sky, suddenly noticed a beautiful woman waving at her from a group of miners. The next moment, she appeared in front of the beautiful woman.

"What's the matter with you?"

"I know who you're looking for."

Looking at the icy, beautiful, and flawless face before her, Li Jingyi suddenly felt a surge of inexplicable anger.

"Hmph, that wretched fellow Lan must have somehow provoked this girl again. It's infuriating!"

"is it?"

The next moment, Leng Ruoyun exuded a powerful and cold aura, instantly locking onto Li Jingyi.

"And how did you know that I was looking for someone?"

"His name is Chen Xuan, right? He left something with me before and instructed me to give it to you if two women and one man came to inquire about his whereabouts."

As she spoke, Li Jingyi reluctantly reached out and took off her beloved hairpin from her head, slowly handing it to Leng Ruoyun.

"He mentioned one man and two women, so why did you choose to give it to me directly?"

"He showed me your portrait."

"I see."

Leng Ruoyun took the hairpin and looked at it curiously.

Why would he specifically seek you out?

“Because…” Li Jingyi said softly.

Instantly, Leng Ruoyun's eyes were filled with sympathy.

It turns out that the little ascendant in front of me, just like myself, was someone who had been bullied by Chen Xuan!
