The Year of Lihua: She Was Reborn

Whenever Xu Zhi stepped into a new place, he could always sense a mysterious and powerful force stirring in the hidden corners of the city or the countryside.

Those places that were originally hidden very deeply and unnoticed began to flash with strange light, as if something was trying to break free and break out of the shell.

However, these strange lights were suppressed by an invisible barrier, making it impossible for the demons that had transformed into human form to succeed, and they could only be beaten back to their original form helplessly.

These monsters took on various forms. Some transformed into soaring eagles, others into cute jade rabbits, still others into gracefully dancing birds, and even some as ferocious as tigers and leopards, and as cunning as jackals...

Faced with all this, Xu Zhi remained calm. He followed Hua Ye quietly, observing the demonic energy rising around him silently.

His sharp eyes can detect subtle changes and not miss any clues.

Hua Ye didn't know that she not only awakened Xu Yi, but also awakened the entire demon world and the devil world.

In this world filled with endless crises and mysteries, how should Hua Ye respond? And what extraordinary identity does the mysterious Xu Zhi hide?

At this moment, Xu Zhi followed closely behind Hua Ye, silently observing the strange lights around him. A trace of anxiety arose in his heart, and he thought to himself.

"My body has been awakened by her, and the spiritual power I used to suppress the barrier has involuntarily returned to my body. If this continues, I'm afraid the world will be plunged into chaos once again, and countless innocent lives will be destroyed..."

At this moment, Hua Ye's clear and pleasant voice was heard: "Master Xu Zhi, would you like to try this?"

She picked up a piece of green pastry from the stall with a smile on her face, took a bite, then turned around, held the pastry high, and asked Xuzhi.

Xu Zhi shook his head and replied, "You eat it, I don't like sweet things!"

Seeing the rare bright smile on Hua Ye's face, his tone of voice unconsciously became gentler, no longer as cold as before.

“Okay, I’ll eat it myself!”

Hua Ye excitedly selected several flavors and then carefully placed them on the oil paper.

She munched on the food with gusto, mumbling, "Pack all of this up for me!"

"Okay, sir, two taels of silver in total!"

The waiter skillfully folded the oil paper in half several times, and in the blink of an eye, he had wrapped the cakes tightly and handed them to her.

Hua Ye took the cake happily and was about to pay when his eyes suddenly lit up and he grabbed another piece of green date cake.

"Hey, give me another one. It's not worth much anyway. You guys are selling it too expensive!"

After saying that, Hua Ye grabbed the pastries and ran away without waiting for the stall owner to react.

I saw that she was holding the cake tightly in one hand, with the green date cake still in her mouth, and with the other hand she was holding Xuzhi's long and slender right hand tightly, dragging him desperately and running backwards.

Xu Zhi was not in a hurry. He easily put his backhand around her and hugged her slender waist, which could be held in one hand. With a little force, he lifted her up and instantly flew with her to the eaves of the tallest building in the city.

This ancient pavilion, which has gone through vicissitudes of life and carries a century of history, stands in the center of Qicheng like a towering giant beast.

It towers into the clouds and is majestic, as if telling the world about its past splendor and glory.

When people climb up to the tower, they can overlook the magnificent view of the entire city. Standing high and looking far, the beautiful scenery of the entire city is in full view, which is refreshing.

Whether it is the bustling streets, the prosperous markets, or the scattered houses and buildings, they can all be displayed before your eyes.

Hua Ye had just stepped onto the red rubble and was stunned by what he saw before him before he could even steady himself.

She couldn't help but sigh, "This city is so big that it can rival Kyoto!"

Then, she tightly grasped the sleeve of Xuzhi beside her and looked around excitedly, her eyes full of curiosity and surprise.

At this moment, Hua Ye seemed to be in a whole new world, and felt extremely curious about everything around him.

She couldn't wait to explore this strange yet beautiful place and experience its unique customs and culture.

However, there were only a few vendors on this huge street, and the ground was a little cracked. It was even drier outside the city, as if it had not rained for several years.
