The Year of Lihua: She Was Reborn

Zuo Nian's face was as pale as paper, with beads of sweat rolling down his forehead, but he still gritted his teeth, holding the brush, and concentrating on drawing one complex and mysterious flying spell after another on the paper.

However, the long-term and high-intensity spellcasting gradually exhausted his immortal power and his body began to crumble.

At this moment, Hua Ye, who was standing aside, changed his expression drastically and rushed forward without hesitation.

His movements were as fast as lightning, and he was beside Zuo Nian in an instant. He stretched out his strong arms and steadily supported Zuo Nian who was about to fall to the ground.

At the same time, Mu Qi, who had been closely watching the development of the situation, also rushed to help.

Unfortunately, his reaction was still a little slow.

When he just took a step, Hua Ye had already successfully supported Zuo Nian.

Helplessly, Mu Qi had to stop abruptly, with a hint of embarrassment on his face.

He slowly retracted his outstretched hand, then gently touched his head, as if feeling regretful and self-blaming for not being able to support Zuo Nian in time.

"You have to do everything within your ability. If there's no one around, you'll be fed to the wild beasts!"

When Zuo Nian saw Hua Ye treating him with such intimacy, a ripple arose in his heart, and he couldn't help but crave this intimate contact.

So he simply pretended to be even weaker and more uncomfortable, as if he was about to collapse to the ground in the next second.

At this time, Xu Zhi, who had been standing aside in silence, became more and more gloomy. His face, which was already a little ashen, was now covered with dark clouds, which made people shudder.

His big hands behind his back were clenched into fists. Due to excessive force, one could even clearly see blue veins crawling all over his palms like earthworms, as if he could squeeze a strong old cow to death with just a little force.

At the same time, Mu Qi inadvertently caught a glimpse of Xu Zhi's change in expression and was slightly startled, but he quickly regained his composure.

He first carefully stretched out the hand he had just retracted, and then suddenly put his arm around Zuo Nian's shoulders with lightning speed, his movements appearing extremely natural and smooth.

"Miss Hua, it's not appropriate for men and women to touch each other. I'll help him!"

As he spoke, he unconsciously moved closer to Hua Ye and gently admonished him, "You are already a married woman. You have to consider your husband's face. Don't you realize that your husband is unhappy?"

His eyes seemed to be under a spell, staring desperately towards the void, as if his gaze contained thousands of words that he wanted to convey to the other person.

Every blink and every subtle movement seemed to contain endless meaning, trying her best to hint at Hua Ye.

At the same time, Zuo Nian keenly noticed that the air pressure in the well was undergoing subtle changes.

Although this change is subtle, it is like a long-lasting alarm bell for him, who is experienced.

So, he straightened his slightly bent body without hesitation, and slightly shifted his center of gravity towards Mu Qi.

"Thank you for your concern, Miss Hua. After we get out of the well, I'll sit and meditate for a while and I'll be back to normal!"

Before Hua Ye let go of Zuo Nian's arm and turned to look at Xu, Xu Zhi reached out and grabbed her with his big hand, instantly widening the distance between her and Zuo Nian.

"My lady, you're holding another man's arm in front of your husband. Do you think I'm worried about you?"

The sour words came out of Xu Zhi's expressionless mouth, and Hua Ye actually burst out laughing and fell forward and backward.

"Okay, my husband, please stop saying these disgusting things and get out of here first!"

Seeing that Xu Zhi's face became even darker, Hua Ye quickly stopped laughing, hugged his arm more intimately, and half hung on him.

"Husband, please send them up first! Otherwise, I'm afraid they'll have to spend the whole night in this stench while they recover!"

Xu Zhi's dark face gradually returned to its original color as Hua Ye talked to him.

But a barely perceptible jealousy flashed in Zuo Nian's eyes, and his expression changed slightly, revealing his unwillingness. However, before Xu Zhi's gaze fell on him, he hid those emotions without a trace.

Mu Qi, who was becoming more and more tough, suddenly got goose bumps all over his body and protested loudly: "Are you going to leave or not? This place stinks!"

"Let's go! Why don't you leave!"

Hua Ye gently shook Xu Zhi's arm, and in an instant, his retortive expression turned into a cute and ingratiating look, and continued.

"Husband, please help my friend!"

Xu Zhi couldn't help but feel moved when he saw her lowering herself to act so coquettishly towards him, and he waved his big hand upwards.

Mu Qi supported Zuo Nian and flew into the air, rushing out of the well. After leaving the well, he rose a considerable height before slowly stopping.

The sudden fall scared the big guy Mu Qi so much that he hugged Zuo Nian tightly, fearing that he would fall and get smashed.

Zuo Nian bent his index finger, put it to his mouth and blew the unique whistle, and the black fire goose appeared under them and steadily caught their falling figures.
