The warm embrace quickly settled Zhao Xiaoxue's frightened heart. No matter how big of an incident happened, as long as she had this man's protection, nothing would be a problem. However, Zhao Xiaoxue was also very curious, what had just happened?

He opened his eyes and looked around, only to see that everyone in the room was stunned, all of them staring at one direction. Zhao Xiaoxue followed his gaze, and saw that the man in black had for some reason fallen on the ground again, and he was surrounded by palm-sized rocks, one of which was moving towards the box.

"Eldest Young Master, why is the primeval stone moving on its own?"

Not everyone knew about Yin Yang Source Stones, to the point that they were confused by this strange movement.

"This thief wouldn't …" Could it be a demon? "

On the Spirit Yuan Continent, besides humans, there were also a large number of Spiritual Beasts. To those who had never seen Spiritual Beasts before, they were undoubtedly demons. There were also many legends about demons.

When those words were spoken, the others immediately retreated in fright. If this black-clothed man in front of them could really transform into a demon in human form, then how powerful would he be?

"He is not a demon, nor is he a spiritual beast. He is located in the center of the Southern Chu Country. No matter how powerful the spiritual beasts here are, they would not dare to enter the Golden Pagoda's defenses!"

The frightened crowd began to calm down. With the identity of the Southern King laid out in front of them, there was almost no one who did not believe what he said.

"But why would this primeval stone move by itself?"

This was a question for everyone. Although they did not expect the Southern King to help them, they still hoped that someone would be able to explain it.

"It can move because …"

The Southern King didn't reply. It was rare for the Southern Princess to speak, but she swallowed her words halfway. Perhaps even she wasn't sure, so she didn't continue.

However, only Zhao Xiaoxue herself knew that because she was too excited, she did not expect that there was actually a Yin Yuan Stone inside the capital, perhaps it was the only Yin Yuan Stone. If she absorbed another Yin Yuan Stone, perhaps she could become a doctor who saved people and not a quack doctor who harmed them!

"Those are Yin Yuan Stones. Now that the surroundings are filled with Yang Yuan Stones, it will naturally move. However, since it can move towards the gift box, you can see that there are definitely a lot of Yang Yuan Stones inside. The gift from His Highness the Southern King is truly valuable!"

Qing Muyao never thought that the Southern King would be so attentive towards his father's birthday banquet. His father loved to collect primeval stones, yet the Southern King had actually sent over so many Yang Yuan Stones.

For most people, Yin Yang Source Stones were valuable, but Yin Yuan Stones were rare. But for most doctors, Yang Yuan Stones were needed, so in Qing Mu Yao's eyes, Yang Yuan Stones were naturally more useful than Yin Yuan Stones.

"Then... "Is that the Yin Yuan Stone that the thieves are trying to steal?"

"It should be. Protecting Yin Yuan Stones is not something that can be casually taken away by others!"

Now that the Southern Princess was safe, Qing Muyao didn't have any more worries. Hence, he ordered that they must protect the Yin Source Stone, or else if they let the thieves take it away, it would be hated by others if word of it spread.

"Humph!"

The black clothed man let out a cold snort, obviously not willing to give up. He had already obtained the Yin Yuan Stone, but he did not expect that he would be stopped by a gift box.

The man in black started to move. Zhao Xiaoxue grabbed Chu Yufeng's arm nervously. Although she already knew the identity of the man in black, it would not be easy for her to find the Yin Energy Stone if it was taken away by him.

"Don't worry!"

Chu Yufeng would not let anything slip away from his eyes. Even if he could not face them head on, he could still secretly exert his strength.

'Whiz! '

Just as the black-clothed man was about to meet the gift box, the gift box that he put away the Yin Source Stones suddenly moved, moving to the side.

"Who?" Who exactly is it? "

The man in black was certain that this was the work of the hidden expert.

Taking advantage of the time to ask, the man in black moved swiftly and arrived in the air above the gift box, grabbing it tightly.

'Bang! '

In order to avoid the incoming arrows, the man in black had no choice but to put down the gift box. This time, it seemed like a coincidence or some other reason, the gift box actually slid towards Zhao Xiaoxue, and quickly arrived at her feet.

"How dare you, you thief!"

At the entrance of the building, three generals wearing armor appeared. From their shooting skills and berating tone, one could tell that their spiritual power was definitely not weak.

"Humph!" It probably won't be that easy to capture me! "

The black clothed man saw that he had lost his momentum and could only give up on Yin Qi Stones. Although these three might not be his opponents, he was still troubled by the hidden expert. He flipped over and flew out of the window.

"Want to run?" It's not that easy! "

Behind the man in black, three armored generals followed, trying to capture the man in black.

Everyone was paying attention to how the three generals would capture the thief. However, the Southern King couple remained indifferent, especially Zhao Xiaoxue who slowly squatted down. She opened the box and personally saw the Yin Energy stone fly into the box, so …

"Take out the Yin spirit stones. This King can directly ask his master for them later!"

The Southern King believed that after such a commotion, he would not object if he used this small Yin Stones to suppress the Southern Wangfei.

"Alright!"

With the man as her backup, Zhao Xiaoxue was fearless. She immediately opened the box's lid, and very quickly, she saw a small rock that was very different from the other primeval stones, leaning against it.

Needless to say, this should be a Yin Yuan Stone. He extended his hand and grabbed it. As long as he obtained the approval of the Qing Emperor, this Yin Yuan Stone would be hers.

"So warm! It's this feeling again! "

Just as Zhao Xiaoxue grasped the Yin energy stone, a warm current once again began to slowly flow into her body. It was the same as the last time at Yongan Palace's back hall.

"No!"

Thinking about what happened last time, Zhao Xiaoxue was so scared that she quickly threw away the Yin Source Stone in her hand. Last time, the small stone had caused her to lose consciousness for two days, this time she couldn't faint again, at least she couldn't faint here.

"Hmm? "Oh no, it's getting smaller again?"

When the Yin Yuan Stone returned to the box, the originally slightly small Yin Yuan Stone was now only half the size of the other spirit stones in the box.

"You … You just absorbed this Yin Yuan Stone? "

At this moment, Chu Yufeng could clearly see the Yin-Yang stone inside the box. It was much smaller than before. He didn't expect this woman to be able to absorb it.

"Yeah, I don't know why, but the moment I touch this Yin Source Stone, I will feel a strange feeling flowing into my body, and then this stone will shrink!" "Moreover …"

Zhao Xiaoxue didn't know if it was an illusion or not, but she felt that the absorption speed was even faster than last time.

"This old official pays his respects to the Southern King and the Southern Wangfei. I came late to protect you, and I hope that you can atone for your sins!"

Before Zhao Xiaoxue could finish her guess, Qing Yin, who was panting heavily, had already arrived upstairs. When she saw that the Southern King and the Southern Wangfei were fine, she immediately let out a sigh of relief.
