The incident happened so suddenly that Chu Xixuan was startled. After reacting, he hurriedly asked, "Ziye, are you okay?"

The power of the contract also consumes spiritual energy. Lan Ziye had just woken up and had already used up so much spiritual power. He was really worried.

Lan Ziye smiled cheerfully and said, "It's okay, what can happen to me?" After that, she lifted the quilt and was about to get out of bed, as if the thrilling scene just now was not her doing and had nothing to do with her.

But just as her feet were about to touch the ground, she froze. What did she see? She saw the drained essence stone, the gray stone, almost black. The gray was evenly distributed, and there was still a hint of luster. It was clearly top-grade essence stone. A pile of top-grade essence stone! Just like that, it turned into waste stone? Oh my god, her heart broke!

Lan Ziye turned to look at Xiaobai fiercely, demanding, "What's going on?" Others might not know how important Essence Stones were to them, but didn't Xiaobai know either? He'd watched helplessly as so many top-grade Essence Stones lost their power. Was Xiaobai, the Demon King, a vegetarian?

Xiaobai felt extremely aggrieved. God knows how heartbroken she was when she found out that the spiritual power on the essence stone had been sucked away to almost nothing. That was her hope of returning home, and her master had promised her that he would bring Young Master Lan back with her.

Young Master Lan ignores her now. If she could abduct Young Master Lan back to three thousand years ago, and she were the only girl that Young Master Lan was familiar with in that entire era, would her Young Master Lan still reject her?

"I... I finished dealing with Zeng Li's funeral and rushed here. The essence stone had almost been sucked away by you. It was too late even if I could stop you!" Xiaobai explained sullenly.

Lan Ziye's eyes widened instantly, and she asked in disbelief: "You mean, it was me... who sucked all those essence stones dry?" No wonder in her dream she seemed to have returned to the small house where she had lived three thousand years ago, and no wonder her spiritual power recovered so quickly.

Lan Ziye's face darkened. He turned to look at Su Muhan and Chu Xixuan and asked, "Who did this?"

Su Muhan pointed at Chu Xixuan unkindly and said, "All the Essence Stones belong to Young Master Chu!"

Lan Ziye instantly glared at Chu Xixuan with anger. From the first day she met Chu Xixuan, Chu Xixuan knew that she had been looking for the Essence Stone. The subsequent series of intersections and transactions were all centered around the Essence Stone. She cooperated with him as a dance partner and agreed to become his fiancée because he used the Essence Stone to seduce her.

But what was the truth? She hadn't received a single Essence Stone from the Chu family, yet now they were being so generous, actually giving out so many at once, and letting her absorb the spiritual energy inside unconsciously. This was simply asking for her life!

Chu Xixuan's face suddenly became very embarrassed. He regretted not cleaning up the remaining essence stones before Lan Ziye woke up. Otherwise, he wouldn't be in such a dilemma now.

“Well… you were unconscious, so I invited all the experts and doctors from the Chu family, even Su Muchan. They all said you were fine, so I…” Chu Xixuan was not good at explaining. He had never explained to someone in such a humble manner in his life, and he felt extremely uncomfortable at this moment.

Lan Ziye couldn't bear to listen any longer. She pointed at the pile of rubble on the bed with a shaking finger and interrupted sadly, "So, you're wasting natural resources to this extent?"
