123: Chen Xuan's Anger

“F-First, let me say this in advance. You, you’re not allowed to have any ideas about Jingqi. J-Just let me take her place…” Lin Yunhan’s face was flushed, and she buried her head in Chen Xuan’s embrace.

She truly couldn’t resist Chen Xuan’s offensive any longer. Let this become the excuse between her and him…!

However, these words sounded exceptionally harsh in Chen Xuan’s ears.

He immediately grabbed Lin Yunhan’s shoulders, making her leave his embrace.

“What do you mean? Do you think I’m that kind of despicable person who would use her to threaten you?”

“What? What do you mean?”

“Why should you replace someone else? This is between me and you. Why are you replacing someone else?!”

“I, I didn’t mean…”

“Do you know what I want? What I want is your love for me, not some replacement for someone else!” Chen Xuan said angrily.

When a female lead has such thoughts, it is often the most dangerous time. In some toxic novels, this kind of plot is most common! And how could Chen Xuan, as a pure love god of war, allow such a thing to happen around him?

(Unless he was that villain)

However, what he didn’t know was that Lin Yunhan’s original intention was not like that; she merely wanted to find a suitable excuse for herself.

Chen Xuan’s words stunned Lin Yunhan. She hadn’t expected her “good” intentions to be so misunderstood.

“I, I didn’t mean that, I just…”

“No ‘just’!” Chen Xuan interrupted her roughly. “Since you think I’m using her to threaten you, fine, I’ll satisfy you!!!”

With that, Chen Xuan furiously struck out a palm, shattering something, and pounced forward.

…

“Congratulations, Host, for successfully uniting with Lin Yunhan, and your Cultivation has returned to the Golden Core Stage. Reward: 5000 Heaven's Mandate Value, one Aptitude Pill (ineffective for Host), one medium Spiritual Vein, one small Spiritual Vein, several Top-Grade Spirit Stones, and 5 lottery chances!”

“What is the effect of the Aptitude Pill?”

“It can raise the user’s Aptitude by one stage, limited to those below Immortal Spiritual Root!”

“Meaning, like Yellow-grade becoming Black-grade?”

“Yes!”

“Perfect, I can give it to my son, Ping’an! His mothers have me, so they don’t lack this!”

“Ding, the System suggests a hands-off approach to offspring!”

“Did you perhaps do something to my son?”

“Children and grandchildren have their own blessings; trust the wisdom of future generations!”

“…”

Seeing Chen Xuan calm down, his entire demeanor remained cold, his face stern. Lin Yunhan instantly began to feel anxious.

“Chen Xuan, I, I didn’t mean that just now…” Lin Yunhan’s nose twitched, and she couldn’t help but cry. “I’m sorry, Chen Xuan, I really didn’t mean that. It was me being too self-righteous.”

Seeing Lin Yunhan cry, Chen Xuan also came back to his senses. Looking at the bruised and pitiful Lin Yunhan before him, he also regretted that his words and actions had been too intense, but this was not the time for an apology.

He gently embraced Lin Yunhan and kissed away the tears on her face.

“Listen to me, Yunhan,” Chen Xuan said gently, “I love you. What I want is you, not a substitute for anyone else. I hope you can understand, this is not a game, nor is it a joke.”

Seeing Chen Xuan’s anger subside, Lin Yunhan quickly nodded, then tightly embraced Chen Xuan.

“I’m sorry,” she whispered, “What I said just now was wrong. I really didn’t mean it that way. I just… I just wanted to find a reason for myself to be with you!”

Chen Xuan smiled and stroked her head, “Silly girl, can this reason be spoken so carelessly? Leaving me aside, would you do this for anyone Jingqi likes?”

“You truly are a foolish woman! I love you, not because you are perfect, but because you are you. So, please stop trying to be a substitute for anyone, okay?”

“N-No, it’s not like that, because, because this person is you, that’s why I, that’s why I would do this! If it were anyone else, I would have slapped him to death!” Lin Yunhan quickly explained.

She absolutely did not want to experience the feeling of being misunderstood by Chen Xuan a second time!

As Lin Yunhan explained, Chen Xuan’s tone softened. He gently pulled Lin Yunhan into his embrace: “What I want is you, only you. No one can replace you, do you understand?”

Lin Yunhan nodded, “Mm, I know. I won’t do that again in the future.”

“Alright, don’t cry anymore. You’ll turn into a little calico cat if you keep crying.”

“Mm.” Lin Yunhan’s face instantly flushed. She hadn’t expected to lose her composure so completely in front of Chen Xuan one day, and she shyly lowered her head, not daring to look at Chen Xuan.

“I was wrong just now. I was a bit too rough. You haven’t experienced it before, yet I still…”

“N-No, it’s fine! The physical pain is not worth mentioning, as long as there are no barriers between us!”

“Fool, does it still hurt now? I’ll treat you!”

“Mm, I’ll listen to you!” Lin Yunhan nodded, then actively kissed Chen Xuan’s lips.

…

Early the next morning, Chen Xuan brought Lin Yunhan to the Spiritual Spring to help her consolidate her Cultivation with the Spiritual Spring water.

She had been at the Late Stage of Nascent Soul First Realm for a long time, and her Spiritual Qi had naturally accumulated enough. What she lacked was just an opportunity, an opportunity for her potential to increase!

After Chen Xuan’s baptism and empowerment yesterday, her potential also slowly increased. She broke through to Nascent Soul Second Realm on that very day, and now she was merely consolidating her Cultivation.

The same was true for Chen Xuan. After returning to the Golden Core Stage, he also greatly needed to stabilize his Realm. Thus, the sounds of splashing water and enchanting singing continuously emanated from within the Spiritual Spring.

However, it was a pity that no one could witness this scene.

Another month passed. During this period, the Zhou Family sisters and Han Wanqing also successively emerged from their seclusion. Zhou Jingyi successfully reached Foundation Establishment, Zhou Jingqi broke through to Golden Core Third Realm, and Han Wanqing successfully reached the Nascent Soul Realm.

As for Lin Yunhan, she formed another Nascent Soul on top of her existing one.

There was nothing else Chen Xuan could do in the Royal Secret Realm. He couldn’t enter his Blue Star Secret Realm, so he could only Cultivate with Lin Yunhan every day.

“H-Husband, Han Wanqing came out of seclusion a few days ago. You can’t stay in my room for too long!”

That day, Lin Yunhan, seeing Chen Xuan’s intentions, quickly reached out and gently pushed him.

Even though there were no longer any secrets between her and Chen Xuan, now that Han Wanqing had emerged from seclusion, if she were caught by her like this, it would be a huge problem.

Even though Han Wanqing had said before that she didn’t mind her and Chen Xuan, she herself wasn’t mentally prepared for such a situation yet.
