Chapter 80: The Reappearance of the Forest Lovers

  Following the sound, Bai Xueya saw a bright spot flashing in the distance at the edge of the cliff. She rushed over quickly and found her phone struggling to vibrate non-stop on the lush green edge of the cliff.

  How did I end up here?

  Bai Xueya gritted her teeth and took a look around, discovering that the location of her phone was extremely precarious. One careless move would cause it to easily slip away.

  She cautiously bent down, grabbed a branch of a big tree, and was about to stretch out one leg when she heard a cry of surprise behind her.

  "Are you courting death?"

  Suddenly, a hurried footsteps, a pair of strong hands grasped her shoulders.

  Bai Xueya turned back and glared at him, although she was very grateful to Lu Haochen for worrying about her, but still felt that this was meddling in other people's business, and said stiffly: "Don't worry, my arm strength is very strong."

  As he spoke, his right leg slowly extended downwards.

  Lu Haochen stubbornly pulled her back, saying harshly: "Are you strong? But the tree can't take it..."

  The words had barely fallen when a patch of mud beneath her feet loosened and slid down, Bai Xueya's heart tightened, and she subconsciously grabbed onto a branch, but then heard...

  "Crack!"

  Does the branch break in two at once?

  And Bai Xiaoya's body was sliding down?

  Her face turned deathly pale, and she felt her body uncontrollably falling down.

  In the blink of an eye

  A strong hand grasped its own wrist tightly.

  "Hold on?"

  She raised her head and saw Lu Haochen biting his teeth, one hand holding hers tightly, the other grasping the ground firmly, not daring to relax for a moment.

  On the hard iron ground, dirty mud stained his white fingernails, and the delicate skin between his fingers was worn away, revealing a dark red color like blood. But he didn't notice at all, still tightly grasping Bai Xiaoya, as if holding onto his last thread of hope.

  Bai Xueya looked at him, and due to his exertion, the veins on his forehead had already bulged out, his face was flushed red, and the fine blood vessels on his wrist were clearly visible, while the entire arm holding her was trembling uncontrollably.

  At that moment, her heart was filled with mixed emotions.

  She used to deliberately make things difficult for him, speaking out of turn and even resorting to physical violence. Yet at this moment, he held his own body tightly, regardless of his own safety...

  "Whoosh——"

  Before Bai Xiaya could regain her composure, the last clod of earth was ruthlessly dug up.

  In an instant, Lu Haochen's fingers left the ground.

  Suddenly - VgJ2.

  Two bodies fell straight down like a pair of swans with broken wings in mid-air...

  Ow...

  This was the first reaction in Bai Xueya's mind after she woke up.

  Her eyebrows slightly furrowed, Bai Xueya slowly opened her eyes, and the faint moonlight shone into her dazed pupils, shimmering with a silvery white light.

  She struggled to sit up, her body aching with a pulling sensation as she moved.

  She looked around and found herself in a dense thicket of trees. Looking up, the dense foliage blocked out the entire starry sky, with only a faint moonlight seeping through the narrow gaps, casting a weak glow.

  Here...

  Is it under the cliff?

  She struggled to recall the scene just now, and with great difficulty, she got up by holding onto the tree trunk. Her leg was slightly injured, although not seriously, but it still hindered her freedom of movement. After thinking for a moment, she picked up a branch from the ground and hobbled forward with the help of a crutch.

  Where should I go?

  She didn't know either. All she knew was that if she continued to wait for rescue in this desolate corner, it would be no different from waiting for death. In that case, it's better to find the small road before dawn and walk back to the camp step by step.

  However--

  Just as her left foot landed, a faint rustling sound came from behind her.

  Shasha

  A quiet and soundless night, without wind or rustling of trees, only occasionally interrupted by the mournful cries of two ravens, highlighting the vastness and desolation of the wilderness.

  And that faint rustling sound, like the fluttering of leaves, was infinitely amplified in this stillness, until it became terrifying and made one's hair stand on end.

  Bai Xueya's body hair stood on end, in the tense atmosphere, she heard her own heartbeat "thumping, thumping, thumping", and the scorching breath was like a flame that was about to melt her.

  Suddenly?

  A hand slapped heavily on her shoulder——

  A slight pause in breathing——

  The next second, a face with intersecting shadows suddenly enlarged in front of his eyes?

  Bai Xueya was startled and took a step back, almost screaming out loud. After calming down, she realized that the shadow wasn't a ghost, but rather...

  Lu Haochen who was dragged down with her.

  "Hey?" Looking at Bai Xueya's stunned expression, Lu Haocen waved his right hand in front of her and loudly called out to wake her up, "Lost your soul, ugly strong girl??"

  Bai Xueya let out a long sigh, gazing at Lu Haocen's calm and collected expression. She didn't say anything, only silently rolled her eyes and walked forward with the help of her cane.

  Damn it, Lu Haochen? Scared her to death?

  "Hey? Stop?" Looking at Bai Xiaya walking further and further away, Lu Haocen shouted loudly at her back.

  Bai Xiaoyan stopped in her tracks and turned around with a bad temper, shouting: "What's with the 'young lady' business?"

  "Auntie!!!???" Lu Haocen took several quick steps forward, bent down and stared at her pale little face, his whole face twisted in anger, shouting loudly, "Is that right? You're Auntie??? The great Auntie??? Thanks to you, this Auntie??? who pulled me off the cliff? Otherwise I'd still be sleeping peacefully in my tent? Bringing me such an extraordinary experience? Thank you very much!!!"

  "Is auntie happy to help and more willing to assist people with intellectual disabilities? So - no need to be polite?"

  Bai Xueya countered him without letting up, tossing her head and preparing to leave stylishly, but the corner of her eye suddenly caught sight of her own clothes.

  His clothes were tattered like a beggar's, with stains all over them. The only T-shirt he was wearing had a big hole somewhere, and the dirty underwear stained with mud had already poked out, revealing its original shape...

  Is this being awkward to the extreme?

  Bai Xue hastily tightened her clothes, blocking the embarrassing gap, her face flushing with embarrassment like a cloud on fire.

  Lu Haochen raised an eyebrow, looking at her nervous appearance, and was puzzled. He turned to her side, curiously staring at the arm she was holding tightly, studying it carefully.

  "How?"

  The word "le" had not yet escaped his lips when a numbing sensation spread across the bridge of his nose. Before he knew it, his body had involuntarily retreated several steps, and that familiar warmth on his face flowed down once again with a gurgling sound.

  He calmly wiped away his nosebleed, lowered his head and quietly stared at the bright red color on his fingertips, motionless, as if it was something that had nothing to do with him.

  Just when Bai Xueya thought she had stunned herself, that guy suddenly burst out violently.

  "Ugly freak? Are your fists made of iron? Harder than stone? Do you know that this young master's blood is very precious?" Lu Haochen raised his fist, stretching out his bloody fingers in front of Bai Xiaya, his entire face twisted with rage.

  Bai Xue Ya's heart was filled with guilt, but she still didn't want to apologize to this devil. She raised her head, gritted her teeth and stared straight at him: "Who told you to look at my chest..."

  At this point, the voice stopped abruptly, because Bai Xueya's face had already turned red like a ripe apple.

  She paused for a moment, adjusted her awkward expression, and said in a harsh tone: "You're a heartless beast? How dare you have such a good-looking face? Stupid Lu Haochen! You're just a wolf in sheep's clothing!"

  “……”

  Lu Haocen almost fainted, he had grown up so big and never heard of such a saying - a wolf in sheep's clothing? ... Shouldn't it be "a wolf in sheep's skin" instead?

  Looking at Bai Xueya's serious and excited expression, comically like a mischievous little squirrel, Lu Haochen couldn't help but smile, raising the corner of his lips, but his tone was still as hard as stone:

  "Ugly freak, I bet you've never passed a language test from childhood to adulthood, or..." He smiled and pointed at his own head with his index finger, saying sarcastically, "or is there something wrong with your brain?"

  After finishing speaking, she turned around and left with a smile, leaving Bai Xiaoya standing alone in a daze.

  Lu Haochen?

  He actually said she's crazy?

  Unforgivable!!!!!!!

  Bai Xueya gritted her teeth and stomped her feet as she followed Lu Haocen, who was walking in a model-like gait. As they walked, she shouted angrily: "Lu Haocen, you big idiot!"

  Lu Haochen calmly shook his hair.

  Bai Xiaoye was furious and jumped up: "Lu Haocen you damn scoundrel?"

  Lu Haochen hooked up the corner of his mouth with satisfaction.

  Bai Xueya's anger was about to explode: "Lu Haocen you this turtle shell... Ah——?"

  A shrill scream suddenly pierced the quiet night, and Lu Haochen turned around in confusion, only to find that Bai Xiaya, who had been so fierce just a moment ago, was now frozen in place like a statue, stuck in an extremely comical pose.

  He couldn't help but burst out laughing and said with a sneer: "You're crippled, aren't you, ugly freak?"

  He thought Bai Xueya would jump up in anger at these words, but to Lu Haochen's astonishment, she was trembling all over, her face deathly pale and unable to speak.

  What's going on?

  He took two steps forward in surprise, the grass under his feet was dense and luxuriant. Under the night sky, the "brush brush brush" sound was like a mysterious finger plucking the trembling heartstrings, making a chilling sound.

  When his gaze fell on the lush green grass, Lu Haochen couldn't help but freeze.

  In the lush grass, an orange and white striped snake coiled into a circle, hissing out a long tongue. On the triangular snake head, a pair of eyes were sharp and fierce, staring tightly at Bai Xiaoyu like prey.

  Bai Xueya was so frightened that she didn't dare to move. Although she had heard that the Baili Forest was home to a vast array of animals, she hadn't expected the snakes to be so numerous, and it wasn't until now, after just one day, that she saw two of them in succession. For someone who was extremely afraid of snakes, this was nothing short of catastrophic news.

  Tiny beads of sweat oozed out from her forehead, Bai Xueya swallowed hard, her eyes fixed tensely on the snake, afraid that she would become its target if she wasn't careful, while also sending a pleading glance to Lu Haichen not far away.

  Lu Haichen seemed to have understood her meaning without disappointing everyone, quietly squatting down and slowly reaching for a long stick not far away.

  However, when his hand touched the wooden stick, the snake that had been quiet and still suddenly jumped up and rushed towards Lu Haochen.
