Transcending the Magic Era: The Supreme Female Archmage

After enduring the difficult "crawling" phase, the group was finally able to get up and move around.

Apart from Ji Moyu, who remained as steady as a mountain and as calm as a reclusive hermit, the others were like birds just released from their cages, extremely excited and eager to soar into the sky.

Puyang Minghui stretched her stiff muscles and shouted, "Oh my god, I can finally stand up! After lying down for so many days, I almost thought I had grown into a part of the mattress!"

Chu Qiuchi went even further, stretching dramatically and kicking his legs a couple of times, saying triumphantly, "Life really is all about movement! After lying down for so many days, I was almost ruined! Now I'm finally back to life!"

After saying that, she even jumped up and down twice on the spot, striking a pose full of energy, as if announcing to the whole world, "I'm all better!"

Nalan Xingyao twirled around a few times, her eyes crinkling with laughter.

"Yes, it feels so good to be able to stand and walk! Qiu Chi, I've discovered that being able to walk and jump makes me happier than eating delicious food!"

Chu Yichen completely let loose, using both hands to support himself on the edge of the bed and leaping up, even doing a 360-degree spin on the spot.

"Haha, I, Chu Yichen, am back! After lying here for so long, I can finally move again. I need to hurry up and go to the training ground to let loose!"

Puyang Minghui rolled her eyes at Chu Yichen's impatient manner, her tone full of disdain.

"Yichen, you've only just been able to get out of bed, and you're already thinking about running around on the training field? Are you trying to recover too quickly?"

Upon hearing this, Chu Yichen scratched his head, his face beaming with barely suppressed excitement.

"I've been cooped up for days, I'm practically growing moss! Now that I can stand up again, I have to take this opportunity to move around more, otherwise I'll almost forget how to run!"

Upon hearing this, Chu Qiuchi immediately stepped forward, patted him on the shoulder, his eyes full of mockery and his tone playful.

"Brother, let me remind you—your injury isn't fully healed yet, so don't overdo it! What if you're back in bed tomorrow...? We'll definitely throw a big feast to celebrate your return to bed!"

Puyang Minghui couldn't help but burst out laughing, her shoulders shaking with laughter.

"Haha, that's right! Yichen, we'll not only celebrate properly, but we'll also hold an 'award ceremony' for you, to specifically praise your 'excellent spirit' of courting death!"

Chu Yichen looked aggrieved and muttered under his breath, "I was just happy, can't I even do some light exercise... You bunch of jinxes!"

Nalan Xingyao smiled broadly, shaking her head playfully.

"Yichen, your sister is doing this for your own good. You'd better behave yourself and not really mess things up and go back to bed. If that happens, no one will pity you."

Chu Qiuchi raised an eyebrow and deliberately gave a cold snort.

"That's right! Don't think we'll feel sorry for you just because you're courting death. We'll be jumping around in front of you every day. Tsk tsk, while you can only lie on your bed, staring wide-eyed, shedding tears of envy!"

Chu Yichen shrank his neck and quickly waved his hand.

"No, no, no! I'll listen to you, okay? It's an event, I promise I won't do anything stupid, I won't do anything stupid..."

Upon hearing this, Puyang Minghui laughed so hard she almost fell over, and said while holding her waist, "Yichen, you admit defeat so quickly! But you'd better not say it and then forget it later."

Nalan Xingyao laughed and added, "I think he'll probably be unable to hold it in. He might as well just lie in bed and cry instead of actually crying!"

Chu Yichen couldn't help but mutter under his breath, "Are you all just watching me make a fool of myself? That's so heartless!"

Upon hearing this, Chu Qiuchi couldn't help but reach out and pat his head, her tone teasing.

"Who told you to be the rocket in our team! If you don't want to be 'specially targeted,' then behave yourself, understand?"

Chu Yichen rubbed his head, which had been patted, and nodded obediently.

"I understand, I understand! You are all ancestors, we can't afford to offend you, we can't afford to offend you!"

Chu Qiuchi glanced at everyone and, seeing that their excitement hadn't completely subsided, made a suggestion.

"How about we take a walk around here today? Come to think of it, we've been in the war zone for so long, but we haven't really explored it properly yet."

Upon hearing this, Puyang Minghui's eyes immediately lit up.

"Great idea! After lying here for so long, I can finally move. It's a good opportunity to get some fresh air! I'm practically moldy from being cooped up in the tent all the time!"

Nalan Xingyao nodded, her eyes full of anticipation.

"Yes, I've been so busy with missions or training that I haven't had time to look around. This is perfect, I can take a walk and get familiar with the war zone."

Upon hearing this, Chu Yichen couldn't contain himself any longer and excitedly said, "Then what are we waiting for? Let's get going! Finally, we can have a normal life again!"

Ji Moyu listened quietly the whole time, only slowly rising after Chu Qiuchi made the suggestion. He maintained his aloof and indifferent demeanor, saying calmly, "Okay. But don't go too far."

Chu Qiuchi turned to look at Ji Moyu, a smile playing on his lips, his tone laced with a hint of teasing.

"Little Fish is so reliable! Don't worry, we'll just take a walk around the camp area today to stretch our muscles, and we definitely won't do anything reckless!"

After quickly tidying themselves up, the group stepped out of their tents. A refreshing breeze blew in, carrying the unique scents of earth and vegetation characteristic of the war zone, making them feel invigorated.

Although it was just a walk, it was a great relaxation for them who had been holed up in their tents for days.

Puyang Minghui took a deep breath, stretched, and exclaimed, "The air outside is so fresh! This refreshing breeze makes me feel so much more relaxed!"

Chu Yichen could no longer contain himself; he blinked his bright eyes and looked around excitedly.

"Let's walk that way! I remember there's a small lake over there, let's go check it out! The scenery should be nice, and we can feel the lake breeze, how refreshing!"

Nalan Xingyao nodded gently after hearing this, her tone revealing a hint of anticipation.

"Great, it's good to walk around and take a look. It'll be a good way to get some exercise and heal faster."

Puyang Minghui laughed and agreed, "Yeah, I can't even remember the last time I really relaxed. Since it's still early, we should take it easy, not rush, and enjoy this rare moment of freedom."

The group chatted as they strolled leisurely along the main path of the camp toward the lake. Although their steps were slow due to their bodies not being fully recovered, their relaxed and cheerful laughter made time seem exceptionally pleasant.

Arriving at the small lake mentioned by Chu Yichen, the scenery before us was indeed as he described, like a natural painting.

The lake shimmered under the setting sun, as if coated with a dazzling golden glow. Several weeping willows swayed gently in the breeze, their branches drooping onto the lake's surface, creating tiny ripples.

A gentle breeze swept by, bringing a touch of coolness to the face and dispelling some of the summer heat. The whole scene was peaceful and beautiful, seemingly isolating the hustle and bustle of the war zone from afar, allowing one to relax involuntarily.

Puyang Minghui's gaze lingered on the stunning lake view, and she couldn't help but exclaim, "Wow, this place is so beautiful! Is this still a war zone? If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed that I could find such a place in a war zone."

Nalan Xingyao squinted, a gentle smile appearing on her usually dignified and quiet face.

"Yes, the scenery by the lake is so beautiful... Standing here, I feel like all my worries and fatigue have been blown away by the wind."

Seeing everyone praising the lake view, Chu Yichen proudly raised his chin and smiled with a proud expression.

"See? I told you, you won't go wrong following me! This is a treasure trove I stumbled upon!"

Chu Qiuchi stood by the lake, arms crossed, his gaze slowly sweeping over the scenery before him, a slight smile playing on his lips.

"It's really good, better than I expected. My friend, you've done a great job this time. I didn't expect you to have such a discerning eye to find such a good place."

Upon hearing this, Chu Yichen smiled smugly and patted his chest.

"Then look, my eyes are shining!"

The scenery by the lake was picturesque, with a gentle breeze blowing. Several people stood on the lakeside, their smiles reflected in the tranquil water and the golden afterglow.

The air was filled with a rare sense of relaxation and joy, as if all the pain and troubles had been gently set aside, replaced by carefree laughter.

Ji Moyu stood a little distance away, his gaze sweeping lightly across the golden lake surface. The light of the setting sun reflected on his profile, making his features appear even more exquisite and profound.

His expression remained calm, but when he heard the familiar laughter of several people, he couldn't help but raise his eyes slightly. His gaze lacked its usual indifference and instead held a rare hint of a smile.
