"Big brother took it away? How is that possible?" Su Muyu asked in disbelief, "What does big brother need so many Essence Stones for?"

"I don't know either! It was really the City Lord who took it away. If you don't believe me, you can ask the City Lord yourself! Besides, even if I had the guts, I wouldn't dare to steal all the Essence Stones here!" The steward said, pulling out a ledger from a drawer. "Everything in the warehouse is recorded. If you don't believe me, Princess, take a look for yourself. Every entry and exit of every Essence Stone is recorded!"

Su Muyu took the account book with half belief and half doubt, and looked through it. Sure enough, Su Muhan took away all the top-grade and high-grade essence stones.

Su Muyu sighed depressedly and had to settle for the next best thing and take away the few remaining low-grade and medium-grade essence stones. It was better to have some than nothing.

Everything was ready, and Su Muyu walked towards the ice cellar.

Although there were monsters guarding the entrance to the ice cellar, those monsters knew how important Su Muyu was to Su Muhan and did not dare to stop him. Of course, they did not need to stop him because Su Muyu came alone. With Su Muyu's ability, it was impossible for him to take Lan Ziye out of the ice cellar no matter what.

Since they couldn't take her out and just came in to take a look, why should they offend this notoriously willful and capricious princess?

As soon as Su Muyu entered the ice cellar, she was frozen by the biting cold and her whole body was trembling. It was so cold that she felt that she would be frozen into an ice sculpture without staying in the ice cellar for too long. However, even if she was frozen into an ice sculpture, she had to wake up Lan Ziye. She couldn't bear to watch her elder brother and Brother Chu become enemies.

Su Muyu stuffed the pills she brought into Lan Ziye's mouth and spread the essence stones around Lan Ziye. After doing all this, she squatted at the head of Lan Ziye's bed and began to chatter with chattering teeth: "Classmate Lan Ziye, wake up quickly! If you don't wake up, my elder brother, my elder brother will break up with Brother Chu! Classmate Lan Ziye, did you hear that? Wake up quickly! My elder brother's strength is comparable to Brother Chu's. The two of them are fighting, what if... what if one of them gets injured, or something worse..." As she spoke, Su Muyu began to cry, and her tears flowed on her cheeks and froze into ice, which stung her face so much.

However, Lan Ziye still lay there motionless, without any reaction.

Su Muyu felt that it was becoming increasingly difficult to breathe due to the cold, but she could not give up. She had to wait here for Lan Ziye to wake up, and then tell Lan Ziye as soon as possible that her elder brother and Brother Chu were fighting on Fox Demon Mountain, and let Lan Ziye stop them.

The two demons guarding the gate were very worried when they saw Su Muyu hadn't come out for a long time in the ice cellar. One of them suggested, "Should we go and take a look? If anything happens to the princess, our lives will be in jeopardy!"

Another demon said, "Yes! How about I stay here and guard it while you go in and take a look?"

The first demon said angrily, "Why me? The princess has such a bad temper. What if nothing happens and she blames me for disturbing her and punishes me? I don't care. Either we go together, or we continue to wait here together. After all, I won't be the only one to die in the end!"

The other demon thought for a moment and said, "Okay, okay, let's go in together. At most, we'll get scolded by the princess. But if she freezes to death in there, we'll be dead!"

After discussing it, the two monsters entered the ice cellar one after another.
