Chapter 454 Lezhi Returns
"Zhizhi..."
The purple light was instantly swallowed by the white light. Through the white light, a figure stood on the back of a large bird, with a cross halberd longer than the figure lying diagonally behind him. As the light gradually faded and the outline became clearer, Lei Xiu finally confirmed that what he was seeing was not an illusion.
Whispering between them went unspoken, their eyes met, and they remained silent for a moment.
Lezhi was the first to look away. His attention was drawn to the fully unfolded eye patterns on Lei Xiu's wings. Staring at those eyes that others could not look directly at, a sense of familiarity welled up in his heart.
Where have you seen it?
He tilted his head suspiciously, trying to search his memory, but his mind was completely blank, and he couldn't remember anything at all.
Seemingly oblivious to Lezhi's suspicion, Lei Xiu was overwhelmed with joy. Confirming that Lezhi was real, he rushed forward without a word, opened his arms, and embraced Lezhi tightly.
Black hair brushed against her cheeks, making Lezhi's face itch. She tried to raise her hand to brush it away, but her arms and body were held tightly, and she couldn't move at all.
"Let go..." The wetness from the nape of his neck interrupted the unspoken rebuke, and the gleaming armor gradually lowered.
His pupils flickered involuntarily, the body in front of him trembled slightly, and a suppressed wail came from his ears.
Lei Xiu is crying.
Grief and fear intertwined within him, laid bare and undisguised.
His mouth opened and closed repeatedly, his indifferent gaze gradually warmed, his eyelids half-closed, and he let out a soft sigh from his nose.
The two were so close that they could hear each other's heartbeats. Lezhi was very uncomfortable with this; he had never liked physical contact with people and would avoid it whenever possible.
But this time, he did not push Rai Xiu away.
The words of rebuke were swallowed back.
She let Lei Xiu hold her until he calmed down, then she said softly, "Okay, that's enough, let go now, my hands are numb."
His tone was anything but gentle; in fact, it sounded rather impatient.
The person in front of her didn't mind, and was even unmoved, but tightened their grip on Lezhi's arm, as if they didn't intend to obey.
Lezhi didn't indulge him. The cross-shaped halberd in her hand turned into light points and merged into her body. With her hands free, she pushed hard and easily pushed the person clinging to her arms far away.
Seeing Lei Xiu's slightly surprised expression, Le Zhi crossed her arms, raised her chin, and the corners of her mouth curled up in a provocative manner.
So what? Not to mention that he has been completely transformed now, even before, he was not the type to be taken advantage of at will. Anyone who thinks they can take advantage of him is dreaming.
As the white light dissipated, the fiery lava seemed to have had its energy drained, and the volcano, which was about to erupt, subsided in the blink of an eye, leaving only the lingering heat in the air, a testament to the glory that might have been about to arrive.
The mischievous child was subdued, and the earth returned to its peaceful state, a fact immediately noticed by the Kunling Clan.
Snow and Sisu, located near the crater, occupied the best viewing spots, and after Raixiu, it was confirmed that Rakuchi and Maoqiu had returned.
Snow was one step ahead of Snow again and rushed forward.
Si Xu was a step too slow because he was focused on the Coca-Cola situation.
"Hey, Cola, why aren't you moving? Are you hurt?"
The lightning that had bound its wings had dissipated at some point. Cola's little black bean eyes flashed with confusion. With two "chirps," it flapped its wings and rushed towards its beloved family, as if it hadn't been the one who had just stood there in a daze.
Si Xu didn't think anything was wrong, assuming that Kele had been ordered not to go forward and had just been keeping her promise.
"Lezhi, and Maoqiu, are you alright? That's great."
Surprise mixed with doubt: Lezhi and Maoqiu had managed to escape from the lava unharmed, leaving everyone present astonished.
He had witnessed the entire process of Lezhi pushing Lei Xiu away. While Lei Xiu was still questioning his existence, Snow asked with concern, "Lei Xiu, are you alright? Are you hurt?"
Lei Xiu shook his head in acknowledgment. Si Xu, prompted by Snow, did not ask any further questions, but simply said, "Alright, since everyone is alright, let's leave first. This is not the place to talk."
The words were spoken to everyone, so one's gaze should naturally sweep over everyone to ascertain their attitudes.
Everyone else was fine, but when Si Xu looked at Le Zhi, his heart couldn't help but tremble. For some reason, he felt a deep sense of awe. Even just looking into each other's eyes was incredibly difficult.
Snow felt the same way, but he was better at hiding it than Snow.
This is also why he stopped Si Xu from asking questions.
Noticing that Si Xu's expression was off, Snow immediately smoothed things over, "That's right, Jin Yan Peak is an active volcano. It looks alright now, but who knows when it will erupt again. We've finally escaped, so let's leave first, find a suitable place to rest, and then make further plans."
There was nothing wrong with what he said. Lezhi didn't say much, but squatted down and reached out to pat the side of Maoqiu's neck.
The large bird moved to one side, adjusted the direction of its wings, flapped them casually a few times, and circled away from the crater to the foot of the mountain.
Following in the footsteps of the fur ball, Cola, who had just arrived at Lei Xiu's side but hadn't had a chance to move yet, also followed closely behind.
The remaining three exchanged glances for a moment before leaving one after the other.
As it flew over the foot of the mountain, Lezhi saw the Jelly Frog being protected by the Kunling Clan, and the Glossy Leaf Bug perched on its head. With a flicker of its eyes, the Great White Bird swooped down in perfect unison. Just as it was about to get close, a flash of light appeared, and Lezhi nimbly jumped down, reaching out to catch the fluffy ball that had turned back into a little fluffy ball and placing it on its head.
His sudden appearance in the group startled everyone else, but Jelly Frog remained calm. From the moment they approached Golden Rock Peak, Jelly Frog, along with the Leaf Bug, had maintained a remarkably composed demeanor.
Only when Lezhi was swallowed by the lava did the two of them become agitated for a moment, but they quickly regained their composure. Even when Lezhi finally reappeared in the white light, neither of them showed any surprise, as if everything was expected.
Reaching out to touch the leaf beetle that had come to rub against him, Lei Xiu noticed that even after being separated from it for so long, the water bubble was still firm, and the leaf beetle was living quite comfortably inside. Even while traveling, Lei Xiu hadn't forgotten to feed it, keeping the leaf beetle plump and full of energy.
Jelly Frog doesn't need to be raised by humans. Although the humidity in the Daqing Mountains is not as high as in the Chenxing Rainforest and the Huanwu Misty Swamp, it seems to have adapted well. It followed Lei Xiu all the way here without holding him back at all, which makes Lezhi very satisfied.
Well done, thank you for your hard work.
As her palm brushed against the jelly frog's wet and soft body, which felt slightly dry, Lezhi drew spring water directly from the space and covered the jelly frog's entire body, giving it a spa treatment.
Just as he finished calming the Jelly Frog, another disturbance came from the space. It turned out that the Entwining Vines and the others were making a fuss about coming out. Only then did Lezhi remember that at the moment he was swallowed by the lava, he subconsciously put the Entwining Vines and the others into his space, thinking that maybe he could save them. Now it seemed that this decision was not wrong.
His physical body was annihilated, but the space remained unscathed. Everything was still in its proper place. Even the spring water that had almost dried up to save the mother tree had accumulated and filled the bottom of the pit again after a period of time. The restoration of the great lake was just around the corner.
Release the restless vines, mushrooms, and cocoa vines. As soon as they emerged, the vines rushed to their old spots. The newly grown long hair, which was originally just messy and scattered, was quickly and carefully braided into delicate braids under the vines' care. Familiar emerald green and flowers adorned the braids. The cocoa vine still occupied the ends of the hair, while the vines, with mushrooms hanging from them, returned to their left earlobes.
The right earlobe looked a bit empty. Lezhi thought for a moment, raised her hand to rub her earlobe, and when she put her hand down again, there was a dazzling earring on her right earlobe. The cross pendant swayed as usual.
