Spring Courtyard Forbidden Pet

The gentle and powerful voice made her cry even harder.

Ye Zhen knew that she shouldn't be rude, but she couldn't control herself and seemed to want to vent all the grievances from her past life.

She clutched Li Xuan's wide sleeves tightly, actually wanting to stop crying, but to him, this subtle movement seemed to pierce his heart and made him hate Li Chengge, the bastard, even more.

I shouldn't have let him go so easily.

Ye Zhen then heard an especially cold voice above her head, "You're right, he deserves to be struck by lightning."

Li Xuan held her shoulders with one hand, holding her tightly in his arms. He put two fingers of his right hand together, like a sharp sword pointing straight to the sunny sky. Then he frowned, his usually gentle eyes sank, and his eyelids contracted slightly.

The next second, many words that Ye Zhen couldn't understand flowed out from between the tightly pursed thin lips.

Then, Li Xuan raised his right hand from her shoulder and covered her ears.

"Boom!"

Deafening thunder and lightning that tore through the sky struck, and everyone huddled against the wall, holding their heads and screaming in fear.

Li Chengge, who had just walked into the back hall, was still filled with anger when the stone slab in front of his feet was suddenly struck by lightning and thick smoke filled the air.

Even though he was a veteran of the battlefield, he was so frightened at this moment that his legs went weak and his whole body was shaking.

The broken floor exploded in the air, and two pieces of it brushed against Li Chengge's back as he fell, leaving a charred mark on the wound.

If the guard had not pulled him back half a step in time, it would not just be his boots that had holes in them.

He was completely stunned and only realized that his heart was about to jump out.

Zheng was also terrified. She had taken advantage of many people and had many bad things to do. She covered her ears and hid under the table, shaking. Ye Xue was also very scared. She didn't believe the news brought back by Hong Luo, but when she heard that Ye Zhen easily resolved the crisis, she was shocked by the thunder before she could curse.

I felt as if thunder was about to strike me to death.

In the entire mansion, only the four Taoist priests who were reciting the prayers for salvation in front of the mourning hall were relatively calm. They said slowly, "This is a punishment from heaven."

"I'm afraid someone has done something that is against the will of heaven and earth."

But in the current situation, who has the heart to care about this? They all find places to hide, fearing that if there is another loud noise, they will be scared away if not killed.

At this moment, Sancho, who hadn't slept for several days in Anxi Village, was dumbfounded. "Oh my god! He even used the Lightning Inducing Technique?"

"What did I miss!"

······

Ye Zhen was held in Li Xuan's arms, with one ear covered by his hand and the other ear hidden in his arm. Even so, she was quite frightened, but because Li Xuan was in front of her, she did not feel afraid.

The wet eyelashes moved slightly like butterfly wings wet by rain. The whole person was like a little rabbit hiding in a hole, now sticking its head out with ears pricked up to see what was happening outside.

When she saw Li Xuan slowly lower his left arm and his chest rising and falling slightly due to the accelerated breathing, she realized that the thunder just now was...

Ye Zhen had lived two lifetimes and didn't dare to think any further.

She thought that a Taoist priest of Li Xuan'an's level was only good at fortune-telling, and because of his high accuracy, he was kept by the emperor's side. To be more specific, his medical skills were better than those of ordinary imperial physicians, and he usually helped people avoid misfortunes and seek good fortune, and taught them to be kind, etc.

She didn't dare to think of anything else.

Li Xuan saw that she had stopped crying. Her eyes and nose were red. She looked so pitiful that he couldn't help but touch her head and asked, "Are you scared?"

Ye Zhen choked for a moment, her eyes falling on his beautiful features, "You just... caused lightning to strike someone?"

"Kill that bastard Li Chengge?"

"Has he been killed?"

Ye Zhen's voice was weak and she felt like she was dreaming.

The surprise in her eyes was very interesting to Li Xuan. He hummed softly, "Do you want him to die?"

Ye Zhen realized something and shook her head hastily, "No, no need."

Li Xuan'an's lips were a little pale, and his breath was unstable, but his eyes were very firm, "It's not impossible."

Ye Zhen didn't even dare to think about it, "I will do it myself and kill it myself."

She came out of Li Xuan'an's arms, her cheeks slightly red, and she covered her chest with both hands, trying to restore her heartbeat to normal.

Li Xuan was easily pushed away by her. He took two steps back and rested against the rockery, his chin slightly raised. The light fell on his face, and the clear jawline made Ye Zhen unable to move his eyes away for a moment.

The God in heaven is probably like this.

After a while, Li Xuan'an's breathing became steady and he looked over unexpectedly. Ye Zhen was like an ant trapped in a coil, with nowhere to escape.

Although she was panicking, she pretended to be calm and said, "Second Master saved me again."

Now she firmly believed in the words "fate and destiny are connected".

She was thin, and her bony shoulders could not hold up Li Xuan'an's coat, and he held it up with his hand the moment it slipped off. Ye Zhen turned her head to the side and rested her cheek against the back of his hand.

Both of them trembled, but neither of them moved.

The places where the skin touches feel like they are burning with flames, as if anyone who moves will appear guilty.

Li Xuan: I just wanted to grab the clothes, I didn’t mean anything else. If I stop hastily now, she will misunderstand me.

Ye Zhen: I just reacted subconsciously and didn't expect that we would touch each other. If I turned to the other side, would it seem like I was disrespectful to him?

"The clothes fell off." Li Xuan said softly, wiping her cheek with the back of his hand and slowly putting it down.

Ye Zhen lowered her head to put on his coat and smiled slightly, "Oh."

There was another moment of silence.

Li Xuan'an frowned, and after holding back for a moment he coughed with his hands covering his lips. Ye Zhen's heart tightened, "Second Master, are you feeling unwell?"

"Nothing." Seeing her approaching, Li Xuan suddenly took two steps back, as if he was trying to avoid her.

Ye Zhen froze, feeling indescribably uncomfortable.

Sure enough, his voice was not as soft when he spoke again, "Wear the tourmaline beads I gave you from now on."

Ye Zhen was afraid of being recognized, and was about to explain when she heard Dong Yuan looking for her.

"Ah Zhen? Are you there?"

"Is something okay?"

"Ah Zhen!"

The sound was getting closer and closer. Ye Zhen grabbed Li Xuan'an's arm and hid him in the rockery cave behind him. She looked panicked and uneasy, which made Li Xuan not know whether to laugh or cry.

He was tall, and the cave was only slightly taller than Ye Zhen, so if he wanted to hide in it he could only bend over with difficulty.

Dong Yuan's footsteps seemed to be right next to her ears. She was so anxious that she asked Li Xuan, "Can you just squat?"

"Hide quickly."

Li Xuan held her hand, his eyes as bright as jasper, "Why are you hiding?"

Yeah, what are you hiding?

Ye Zhen couldn't say anything, but she stuffed his coat into his arms and looked at him pleadingly, "Shh! Don't talk."

Li Xuan bent down and could only raise his eyes when he looked at her, his expression full of confusion and grievance.

Ye Zhen's heart was beating like a drum, and she didn't dare to look any further, "Please bear with it for a while."

When Dong Yuan saw her, she looked panicked. Dong Yuan was relieved to see that she was safe and sound. When he touched her, he found that her hands were cold. "What did Li Chengge do to you?"

"God has a good will. The lightning just struck right under his feet. It should have been aimed more accurately to kill him."

Ye Zhen agreed casually and pulled Dong Yuan away. Before leaving, she did not forget to look back at the cave.

After returning to Ningguang Courtyard, Ye Zhen instructed Liuxia to tell Ye Xue about Li Chengge's attempt to forcefully take her away from him, including his statement that he would make her an existence that Ye Xue would never be able to match in terms of status or other aspects.
