The Year of Lihua: She Was Reborn

"Really? If even you can have memories of your past life, doesn't that mean she can't?"

The Demon King pondered to himself: Could it be that she too has received assistance from some immortal? Especially the mysterious power she displayed in that fleeting glimpse last time, could it be related to this?

Thinking of this, while pondering these questions, he began to use magic to tidy up his long hair that was originally messy and dragging on the ground.

Over time, his hair grew to waist-length and neatly trimmed, a style held in place by an ornate crown made of black dragon scales.

This made his angular and masculine face fully displayed in front of Li Li.

At this moment, an uncontrollable, murderous and demonic aura emanated from between his brows; and in his deep and bottomless but slightly narrowed eyes, a scarlet light flashed, and he was unscrupulously examining Li Li, who was as thin as a bamboo pole.

"To ruin your body and soul just for a woman is truly utterly boring! By comparison, the you in your previous life was much more pleasing to me."

Faced with the Demon King's sarcasm and verbal attacks, Li Li, who was already exhausted both physically and mentally, had no power to fight back or refute anything.

He collapsed on the damp, mossy stone slab, his whole body limp, as if all the strength in his body had been drained.

At the same time, a breath of negative energy mixed with darkness and red was rising from his body and swirling in the air.

"If it weren't for the chance to see her again and fulfill the promise I made to her, why would I have gone through so much hardship and risked repeating my past mistakes by choosing this path of reincarnation?"

Li Li answered in a firm tone, saying that he would never give up his beliefs and ideals easily.

"Haha! If I had been willing to obey her wishes in my previous life and pampered her with all my heart, then why would I have to suffer in this life?"

The Demon King suddenly stopped and sneered, then continued, "As the saying goes, you reap what you sow! I think you should give up this idea as soon as possible. After all, she is no longer suitable for you..."

However, Li Li did not take the other party's advice and suggestions to heart and even turned a deaf ear to them.

On the contrary, he became more and more convinced deep down that as long as he persisted, he would be able to achieve his wish and find his own happy home: Hua Ye.

In this closed and narrow space, the Demon King was seen pacing back and forth, over and over again, in an interesting manner.

“No, I absolutely cannot give up, never…”

Li Li murmured softly, as if only this could give him the strength to persevere, but these words were only heard by himself.

"How stubborn!"

Suddenly, the devil came rushing like a bird, swung his palm from top to bottom, and a huge dragon claw with a fierce momentum slapped Li Li's forehead.

However, when the distance was only one millimeter, the palm actually stopped the flaming palm power that was about to explode.

Despite this, the remaining flames still burned Li Li's hair and beard on his forehead, causing him to frantically slap it several times before putting it out, and he almost got disfigured.

"Master, isn't your move a little too cruel? Aren't you afraid of ruining my beautiful appearance?" Li Li said with a wry smile.

"Oh? Since you're so attached to your beautiful skin, how about lending it to me?"

The devil raised the corner of his mouth slightly, responding with a smile.

Li Li laughed even more chillingly in the dark abyss. He first sneered and then sneered, and said with a sinister smile.

"Mashiro calls you Master, and you've always been thinking about this body of mine. If you can teach me some of your inner skills, I will voluntarily give you this body, okay?"

"Ha ha ha ha……"

The Demon King roared to the heavens, then soared into the air, looking down at him from above. "Your character is quite to my liking. I'll help you one more time. After all, you've spent tens of thousands of years deep in the abyss of this palace, so a few more decades won't hurt you!"

He clasped his hands together and muttered some ancient spell, then with his right palm facing down, he used his whole body to hook his palm and hit the top of his head.

A ball of black and red energy surged from the top of Li Li's head to the soles of his feet, opening up his Ren and Du meridians and unblocking the meridians throughout his body.

Li Li slowly stood up, with the soles of his feet ten centimeters off the ground, and his sunken eye sockets instantly returned to their original fullness.

The whole person's energy and spirit returned, and the black and red flames under Li Li's dantian burned more and more vigorously...
