Then he pretended to smile and said, "For me, these are just a piece of cake. Besides, you are my fiancée now. I, Chu Xixuan's fiancée, must have everything she wants. Otherwise, how embarrassing would it be for me?"

Lan Ziye said blankly: "Face?"

"Of course it's face! We are sitting in the same boat now! If you are shabby, I will lose face too!" Chu Xixuan said.

Lan Ziye: ...How is she shabby? (｀^′)

"Then I want essence stones, a lot of essence stones. Can I have them?" Lan Ziye deliberately pressed the issue.

"Essence Stone?" Chu Xixuan looked at Lan Ziye speechlessly.

Lan Ziye pouted and said unconvincedly, "They're the most powerful family in Lanxuan Continent! I asked the housekeeper to help spread the word among all the Chu family businesses, saying that you, Young Master Chu, are in urgent need of a large amount of Essence Stones, but there's still no news!"

Chu Xixuan: ...You're quite good at using your own name. You learned it all by yourself. Not bad, not bad! →_→

"What do you want so many essence stones for? You can use spiritual energy to create instruments for cultivation, and I can supply them in unlimited quantities!" Chu Xixuan said nonchalantly.

"You don't understand! I want to set up a large magic circle, which requires a lot of essence stones. I need essence stones of red, orange, red, green, blue, and purple. No color can be missing. It's very troublesome!" Lan Ziye was distressed.

What was once a minor issue has now become a life-threatening matter! Why is it so difficult to find a spirit stone? (???︿???)

"Magic formation, what magic formation?" Chu Xixuan asked with interest.

"You don't understand!" Lan Ziye said in distress, "Anyway, it's very important to me!" After that, he started to eat, with no intention of saying anything else.

Chu Xixuan looked at Lan Ziye gravely. What kind of formation would require so many essence stones? What was Lan Ziye going to do with it?

He always felt that Lan Ziye had many secrets that he just couldn't find out.

Nothing can be found about Lan Ziye's origins, her birth, and anything that happened before she came to Lanxuan City. It's as if she fell from the sky or popped out from between rocks.

After eating and drinking his fill, Lan Ziye licked his belly and swaggered out of the hot pot restaurant. In a good mood, he said, "No matter what, I want to thank you today! I, Lan Ziye, am not an ungrateful person. Since you've been so good to me, I should be nicer to you too. If you need anything in the future, just come to me!"

Chu Xixuan smiled and nodded, then turned to look at Chu Xixuan who had just walked out of the hot pot restaurant and said, "Send her back to school!"

Lan Ziye waved his hands and said, "No need, I can do it alone!"

"I was the one who brought classmate Lan out, so how could I not send you back?" Chu Xining glanced at his brother and said with a bright smile, lying against his conscience.

Lan Ziye looked at Chu Xixuan and then at Chu Xining, and said with a pout, "Okay!"

Lan Ziye and Chu Xining were silent all the way until they reached the school gate. Chu Xining said impatiently, "Okay, mission accomplished!" Then he turned around and was about to leave.

Lan Ziye thought for a moment, then called out to Chu Xining, "Aren't you going to treat Lan Rongrong and Zhu Ning to dinner tomorrow? Let's book a table at the hot pot restaurant, in the Tianzi private room! I'll let the manager know in advance!"

Chu Xining smiled and said, "Okay!"

This sister-in-law is sometimes quite good, at least better than that princess Jin Ruoxi! Just do the hard labor, after all, Chu Xixuan only has his brother to use? ╮（╯＿╰）╭
