As Lin Feng and Xu Lin returned to their room, the Heaven Mending Stone placed in the courtyard by Lin Feng reacted intensely.
Visibly, the flowers and plants in the courtyard began to wither rapidly.
Especially those few spirit gathering grasses, they withered even faster, turning into dried stalks in the blink of an eye.
At this moment, Gu Xiaoman, who was fast asleep in her room, suddenly felt a powerful suction pulling at her body.
Gu Xiaoman was awakened by this strange sensation and quickly turned on the bedroom light.
As the light turned on, Gu Xiaoman was terrified by the scene before her.
For all the flowers and plants in the room had withered.
"Lin, Husband, Husband!"
Frightened, Gu Xiaoman quickly put on her shoes and, without thinking, ran towards the room where Lin Feng and Xu Lin were.
At this moment, Lin Feng had already pushed Xu Lin onto the bed.
He was passionately kissing Xu Lin's small mouth, and Xu Lin's face was flushed red from Lin Feng's kisses, looking delicate and charming.
Just as Lin Feng was about to take off Xu Lin's nightgown, Gu Xiaoman suddenly pushed open the door, kicked off her shoes, and scrambled onto Xu Lin's bed.
After getting into bed, Gu Xiaoman grabbed the blanket and covered herself completely.
The sudden action stunned both Lin Feng and Xu Lin, who were in the midst of flirting.
"Xiaoman, what's going on?"
Lin Feng lost his mood.
Xu Lin also quickly fixed her hair and sat up.
"Husband, Sister Xu Lin, there's a ghost, the house is haunted."
Gu Xiaoman was so scared that she couldn't speak clearly, trembling all over while covered by the blanket.
"Haunted?"
Lin Feng found it amusing. This wasn't a haunting, it was clearly Gu Xiaoman ruining his mood.
"Little Sister Xiaoman, don't get excited, with me and Lin Feng here, you don't need to be afraid."
Xu Lin knew Gu Xiaoman was scared and gently held her in her arms to comfort her.
Gu Xiaoman then quieted down. She pulled back the blanket, and upon seeing Lin Feng and Xu Lin, she let out a long sigh of relief.
"Sister Xu Lin, it's like this, I was sleeping just now and I felt like someone was touching me. I got scared, turned on the light, and found that all the plants in the room had withered."
"Then, I got terrified."
Gu Xiaoman recounted what had happened.
"Someone touched you? And the plants withered?"
Lin Feng found Gu Xiaoman's story a bit outrageous.
"Lin Feng, wait, look at the flower pots in my room!"
Xu Lin suddenly pointed to the flowers placed on the coffee table.
Lin Feng took a closer look and found that the flowers in the pots had also all withered.
"How could this happen?"
Realizing something was wrong, Lin Feng immediately went outside to check.
Entering the courtyard and seeing the withered state of the entire yard, Lin Feng was also very surprised.
Everything had been fine just moments ago, how could such a drastic change happen so suddenly?
At this moment, Xu Lin, supporting Gu Xiaoman, also came out of the room.
"Lin Feng, it's the Heaven Mending Stone!"
Xu Lin immediately noticed the anomaly with the Heaven Mending Stone on the ground.
Lin Feng followed her gaze and indeed, the Heaven Mending Stone, which was originally emitting a red light, was now flashing with a pale yellow glow.
He picked up the Heaven Mending Stone. The moment he held it in his hand, Lin Feng felt his true qi being uncontrollably absorbed by the stone.
And the glow of the Heaven Mending Stone became even brighter and more intense.
"No, stop it!"
Feeling his true qi draining rapidly, Lin Feng wanted to shake off the Heaven Mending Stone, but the damnable stone seemed stuck to his hand, refusing to be dislodged.
Worst of all, if this continued, he would be sucked dry.
"Lin Feng, how are you? Is there anything I can do to help?"
Xu Lin, seeing Lin Feng trembling as if electrocuted, asked anxiously.
"Quick, quickly help me call for backup."
"Light the incense."
With all his might, Lin Feng threw the Lightning Attraction Incense given by Duan Liang to Xu Lin.
Gu Xiaoman also realized Lin Feng was in danger and quickly went into the room to find a lighter.
After getting the lighter, Xu Lin immediately lit the incense as instructed by Lin Feng.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The sky flashed with lightning and rumbled with thunder, scaring Xu Lin and Gu Xiaoman into hugging each other.
They had no idea this was caused by the Lightning Attraction Incense, and thought a major disaster was about to occur.
Fortunately, not long after the Lightning Attraction Incense was lit, Duan Liang arrived in a hurry.
"You brat, at this hour of the night, you won't even let this old Daoist sleep soundly, what are you doing?"
Duan Liang grumbled.
"Daoist Master, Lin Feng seems to have been electrocuted, please take a look."
Xu Lin recognized Duan Liang and urgently explained Lin Feng's situation.
Duan Liang then noticed that Lin Feng was not right.
"You brat, what are you playing at? Are you for real?"
As Duan Liang spoke, he reached out to touch Lin Feng.
"Don't touch me!"
Lin Feng hurriedly warned, but it was too late.
Duan Liang had already placed his hand on Lin Feng's shoulder.
As their bodies made contact, Duan Liang immediately convulsed as if electrocuted.
His true qi was also being continuously absorbed by the Heaven Mending Stone.
"You brat, what's going on? This old Daoist can't take it anymore!"
Duan Liang trembled, drooling.
"This stone in my hand can absorb true qi. I'm stuck, and now you're stuck too. We're in big trouble."
Lin Feng explained.
"Son of a celestial being, why didn't you say so earlier? Why drag this old Daoist down with you?"
Duan Liang was so scared his soul nearly flew away.
"Lin Feng, tell me quickly, how can I save you two?"
Xu Lin understood that Duan Liang was also caught in the predicament.
"Star Bead, that's right, the Star Bead!"
Lin Feng remembered the Star Bead given by the Black Fox King and quickly used his mental power to control his storage bag, bringing out the Star Bead.
The Star Bead rolled to Xu Lin's feet. Xu Lin picked up the bead: "How do I use this bead?"
"Throw it, throw it into the air!"
Lin Feng gestured.
Xu Lin uttered an "oh" and forcefully tossed the bead high into the sky.
The next second, the Star Bead emitted starlight all over, enveloping everyone.
Xu Lin and Gu Xiaoman, bathed in the starlight, felt light and airy.
And the withered plants in the courtyard, under the baptism of the Star Bead, also regained their vitality.
Whoosh!
A black shadow flashed, and the Black Fox King appeared in the courtyard.
Seeing Lin Feng and Duan Liang, especially seeing the Heaven Mending Stone in Lin Feng's hand, he immediately realized something.
"Kid, you even managed to get your hands on a rarity like the Heaven Mending Stone?"
The Black Fox King was very surprised.
"Brother Hei, no more talking, we're about to be sucked to death, quickly save us."
Lin Feng urged anxiously.
The Black Fox King waved his hand, and a divine power shot into the Heaven Mending Stone.
The glowing Heaven Mending Stone then dimmed.
Lin Feng and Duan Liang, released from the stone's control, collapsed onto the ground, exhausted.
"Kid, your luck is truly incredible, to even obtain the Heaven Mending Stone. Amazing."
The Black Fox King held the now dim Heaven Mending Stone in his hand and laughed heartily.
"Son of a celestial being, so this is the Heaven Mending Stone? It almost killed this old Daoist!"
Upon learning that the stone was the Heaven Mending Stone, Duan Liang couldn't rest and immediately tried to snatch it from the Black Fox King's hand.
He didn't know the Black Fox King and was worried that the Black Fox King would keep the Heaven Mending Stone for himself, so he directly attacked.
As a result, the Black Fox King waved his hand, and Duan Liang was sent flying into the sky like a streak of light.
