Chapter 44: Twin Immortal Spiritual Roots

In Su Xiaoxiao's room, as soon as the two stepped inside, Lin Chen shut the door and instructed, "Xue Yao, stand guard outside. No one is allowed to come near."

Xue Yao nodded with a grin, "Understood, Master's Wife, take your time chatting."

Lin Chen turned around and looked at Su Xiaoxiao, her tone laced with anxiety, "Fan, what should we do? Can you take on the identity of the God Lord?"

A flash of craftiness crossed Su Xiaoxiao's eyes as she slowly approached, reaching out to gently hook and toy with a strand of Lin Chen's hair.

"Lin Chen, the situation is rather complex. I need to make preparations in secret; I cannot take on the identity of the God Lord just yet."

Lin Chen nodded gently, just about to say, "Alright, I will listen to you."

Before the words could leave her lips, Su Xiaoxiao suddenly leaned in and planted a gentle kiss on Lin Chen's lips. The soft touch felt like a feather brushing past, causing Lin Chen to freeze slightly, her cheeks instantly flushing red.

Lin Chen instinctively wanted to pull away, but Su Xiaoxiao gently wrapped her arms around her waist, deepening the kiss. This time, however, she only gently caressed her lips without any further actions, allowing Lin Chen to gradually relax.

The atmosphere in the room became warm and sweet; Lin Chen's breathing grew slightly rapid, and her cheeks became even more flushed.

She closed her eyes and gently responded to the kiss, with a faint sense of affection permeating between their lips.

Su Xiaoxiao resumed Lin Fan's identity; her lips left Lin Chen's and slowly moved down along her cheek, planting one gentle kiss after another, finally landing on her slender neck, rubbing softly against it, causing Lin Chen's body to tremble.

"Fan… I want to hug you." Lin Chen's voice was soft and delicate, carrying a hint of coquettishness.

This time, Lin Fan did not refuse, gently pulling Lin Chen into his embrace, his hands tightly wrapping around her back as if he wanted to merge her into his own body.

"Ah…" Lin Chen let out a soft sigh in Lin Fan's warm embrace.

In the night, they held each other tightly, as if time had frozen at this very moment.

The next morning, sunlight spilled into the room through the window lattice. Lin Chen, on the bed, had a hint of languor in her eyes, and her cheeks were flushed with a faint red.

She frowned slightly, and just as she was about to move, a wave of soreness in her legs left her feeling weak, causing her to glare at Su Xiaoxiao with feigned anger.

Su Xiaoxiao stroked her waist with concern and whispered, "I'm sorry, I was… a bit too excited yesterday."

Lin Chen bit her red lip gently, her voice soft, "It's okay… This just shows that you really like me. There's nothing to apologize for, but next time…"

Lin Chen's shy appearance made Su Xiaoxiao's gaze heat up. She lowered her head and planted a soft kiss on her forehead, gently stroking her hair.

Lin Chen pushed her slightly and scolded playfully, "Alright, we've held each other all night, it's time to do proper work today."

"Alright~" Su Xiaoxiao nodded with a smile, gently lifting her up and carefully tidying her clothes.

The door was pushed open.

Xue Yao, who had been guarding outside, immediately leaned in, blinking her eyes as she scrutinized Lin Chen.

"Oh my, Master's Wife, why are you walking so strangely? Master, did you bully her?"

A blush instantly flooded Lin Chen's cheeks, and she stamped her foot, "Xue Yao, don't talk nonsense!"

Su Xiaoxiao gave a light cough and took the opportunity to support Lin Chen's waist, "Let's go, Lin Chen, we are going to Moxiang Academy. Xue Yao, stay and watch the house."

"Oh~, fine, I won't go then."

Inside Moxiang Academy, there was a steady stream of people.

The male students were uniformly dressed in dark cyan scholar robes, while the female students wore light pink embroidered long dresses.

Today, they were set to welcome a special figure—the God Lord's Wife, Lin Chen.

Su Xiaoxiao supported Lin Chen's waist as they slowly walked to the front of the academy.

Lin Chen's steps were slightly unsteady, and her cheeks were flushed with a faint red. Too embarrassed, she broke free from Su Xiaoxiao's support and whispered, "There are too many people here, I'll walk by myself."

However, before she even stepped into the academy, the surroundings had already erupted in commotion.

"My god, is she a new student? She's too beautiful!"

Today, Lin Chen was wearing an exquisite light green short skirt. The hem was light, and the material was soft and elastic, outlining her graceful figure.

Her slender waist, which could be encircled by one's hands, her fair and long legs, paired with her gentle face and flowing long hair, were extraordinarily alluring.

The crowd was buzzing with discussion.

"Su Xiaoxiao came yesterday and already stunned everyone, but another one came today, even prettier than Su Xiaoxiao!"

The academy quickly boiled over; even the instructors were stirred.

When Crown Prince Li Chongjun heard the news and rushed over, he happened to see Lin Chen's slender, jade-like hand gently pressing onto the Spiritual Root testing stone.

In an instant, a crimson red light flickered, and the entire academy fell into dead silence.

"An Immortal-grade Astral Spiritual Root?!"

A moment later, another brilliant light rose up.

"No! It's a Dual Immortal-grade Spiritual Root! The other one… is an Immortal-grade Natural Spiritual Root!"

Boom— The entire academy completely erupted!

"My god, Su Xiaoxiao only has a useless Spiritual Root, but this one actually has a Dual Immortal-grade Spiritual Root!"

"Not only does she crush Su Xiaoxiao in appearance, but her talent is also worlds apart!"

Instructor Ruolin's eyes were full of surprise. She stepped forward slowly and looked Lin Chen over with satisfaction, "What is your name?"

Lin Chen bowed slightly and performed a graceful salute, "Junior Lin Chen, please guide me well from now on, Instructor."

The students did not recognize her as the God Lord's Wife from her name. Because in the Immortal Realm, people generally only knew the title "God Lord's Wife" and had no idea what she looked like or what her real name was.

Instructor Ruolin beamed with joy and immediately brought out the academy's signature uniform, "Lin Chen, this is our academy uniform. Once you change into it, you will be a member of the academy."

Lin Chen looked at the light pink embroidered long dress, with a pure white inner garment and a light green embroidered half-sleeve coat on the outside. She smiled slightly and gently adjusted her nano cube. Her clothes instantly transformed to be exactly the same as the academy uniform.

"Is this alright?" "Yes! It is more than alright!"

Instructor Ruolin personally led the way, bringing Lin Chen into the lecture hall. As soon as she entered, she walked straight to the golden seating area and pointed at Liu Pianpian, "You, go to the back; give this seat to Lin Chen."

Liu Pianpian was shocked, her eyes widening in disbelief, "On what grounds?!"

Instructor Ruolin said indifferently, "On the grounds that she has a Dual Immortal-grade Spiritual Root."

Liu Pianpian's face flushed red, and she was so angry that she gnashed her teeth, but there was nothing she could do. She could only pack her things and head to the back row.

Just then, Lin Chen spoke gently, "Instructor, it would be fine if I sat with Su Xiaoxiao, there is no need for this."

In the lecture hall, every desk was spacious enough for two people to sit without any issues. However, the students of Moxiang Academy were either wealthy or noble and had arrogant personalities; they never wanted to share a desk with anyone.

Instructor Ruolin turned her gaze to Su Xiaoxiao, "Su Xiaoxiao, are you willing?" Her eyes were burning, conveying an air of non-negotiability.

Su Xiaoxiao felt her scalp tingle from the stare and complained internally, "This person is my wife, okay? You are being way too protective…"

But on her face, she wore a gentle smile and linked her arm with Lin Chen's, "Instructor, of course Xiaoxiao is willing. Lin Chen, let's go."

Lin Chen finally breathed a sigh of relief. Her lower abdomen was aching faintly, her legs were weak, and every minute she stood was a form of torture.

At this moment, Crown Prince Li Chongjun was overjoyed. First Su Xiaoxiao, and now an even prettier Lin Chen had arrived!

He smiled slightly and performed a scholar's salute, "I am Li Chongjun, please guide me well."

Lin Chen returned the salute gracefully and hid slightly behind Su Xiaoxiao.

Su Xiaoxiao glanced at Li Chongjun and gave him a pretty eye-roll, looking adorably fierce.

Li Chongjun chuckled, "Junior Sister Xiaoxiao, what's wrong, are you jealous?"

Su Xiaoxiao couldn't be bothered to pay attention to him; she hugged Lin Chen's arm tighter and raised an eyebrow, "Lin Chen, let's start class."
