Xiaobai had completely lost his mind at this point, and he couldn't hear Chu Xixuan's question. He just kept spinning around on the bed, muttering, "It's over, it's really over now, it's really over now!"

Chu Xixuan completely lost his patience with Xiaobai, so he stood up, grabbed Xiaobai's nape and lifted him up. However, because he used his powerful spiritual power, Xiaobai couldn't break free no matter how hard he struggled.

"Tell me, what's going on?" Chu Xixuan said in a cold voice, "What's going on with Lan Ziye's hand?"

Xiaobai completely exploded, and cried out to Chu Xixuan's screaming cat: "Meow—it's all your fault. Master became like this because he wanted to save you. Now it's good, Master can't wake up. Are you satisfied?"

Chu Xixuan was completely stunned, and he let go of his hand in despair.

Xiaobai fell from his hands, turned over in mid-air, and stood steadily on the bed. He looked up and met Chu Xixuan's solemn and cold face.

"Tell me, what happened to Midnight?" Chu Xixuan's voice became even colder, as if he wanted to kill it immediately if it couldn't explain clearly.

Xiaobai hesitated for a moment, then said helplessly, "Master is already in this state, and it's hard to say whether he will wake up or not. So I'll tell you! Do you know how Master saved you last time at Phoenix Mountain?"

Chu Xixuan didn't say anything, but just continued to look at Xiaobai coldly, as if he wanted to hear more.

"Master made you drink her blood!" Xiaobai roared, "Meow—, that's three full bowls of blood! It nearly cost Master half her life!"

"Blood?" Chu Xixuan murmured. No wonder he felt so strange that day, always feeling a salty taste in his mouth.

"That day, although the master consumed a lot of energy, the wound on her wrist healed in a moment and returned to normal, so you couldn't even tell she had bled. But this time? Look!" He jumped to the side of Lan Ziye's bed and used his cat claws to pry open Lan Ziye's hand again, revealing the hideous scar. "The master's scar is still there, but her body no longer has the ability to repair itself! Without it, the master will either die or fall into a long sleep."

"I am the master's Shikigami. The fact that I'm still standing here proves that the master won't die for the time being. That means he'll be in a deep sleep! Maybe a thousand years, maybe ten thousand years, maybe even longer! I really don't know when the master will wake up!"

Xiaobai was on the verge of tears. This wasn't the era they lived in. Lan Ziye was asleep. Where could he hide him? Who could he, a cat, turn to for help? The Lan family? Would they believe such an unbelievable thing? Or would he turn to this abominable Chu Xixuan, or the little fox who had just left?

Xiaobai felt that none of these people were reliable. This time, he was really at a loss and had no idea what to do.

Chu Xixuan was stunned for a long moment before he regained his voice. He spoke in a dry, hoarse voice, "Thousands of years, tens of thousands of years, or even longer?" Then, like a trapped beast, his eyes reddened as he stared fiercely at Xiaobai. His voice was hoarse and deep, he said, "You must have a way to wake Ziye. What's that method? What exactly are we going to do?"

Xiaobai was frightened by Chu Xixuan's behavior. He jumped back a distance and said cautiously, "Master has a special physique... Perhaps only Houttuynia cordata can save him!"
