The Year of Lihua: She Was Reborn

Just after flying over the gate of Qicheng, Hua Ye was standing on a high tower on the city wall as if no one was there.

She looked at the hundred acres of fertile land outside the city gate. It was so dry that it was unrecognizable. Only a patch of yellow and withered weeds were still growing stubbornly in the ground.

Many refugees gathered outside the city, most of them had cracked lips from thirst, and were so emaciated from hunger that they looked unrecognizable.

She glanced again at the crowded and somewhat desolate city, which was still relatively peaceful.

Seeing this, the slightly red eyes had long disappeared, replaced by a gradually clear and sharp look.

(Who the hell took the disaster relief food?)

She couldn't help but fall into deep thought, recalling and thinking:

(In the previous life, it seemed that the arrival of disaster relief grain and funds effectively alleviated the disaster and comforted the victims. Once the canal was completed, the subsequent drought problem was completely solved...)

(Could it be that the canal was not built?)

"Your Qinggong skills have improved a lot, girl. It's becoming a bit difficult for me to find you."

Xu Zhi stood beside her effortlessly and handed her the soup noodles.

"The noodles are clumping!"

Hua Ye moved her nose and inhaled the aroma of noodles, and her already hungry stomach actually growled.

"I didn't eat breakfast on time. I'm so hungry that my stomach is growling..."

Hua Ye immediately suppressed his embarrassed expression and returned to a calm face.

But Xu Zhi still caught her slightly frowned brows: What is she worried about?

"Master, how can I eat this without chopsticks?"

Hua Ye looked at the bowl of delicious Yangchun noodles, turned his head and rolled his eyes at his master who was ignorant of the world.

Seeing her delighted expression, Xu Zhi put aside his worries and said, "Chopsticks are not easy!"

As he spoke, a pair of long and straight chopsticks appeared out of thin air in his hands, and they shone with a different light under the sunlight.

"Is this something conjured up?"

"more or less!"

Xu Zhi saw the light flashing in her almond-shaped eyes as if she had discovered something strange, and answered without being modest, but with a bit of complacency.

Hua Ye snatched the silver chopsticks with plate patterns from his hand, looked at them carefully, took a bite, and continued.

"This is still silver. Master, you are amazing! Do you have the magic to turn stone into gold?"

As she spoke, she flew and landed in a corner under the city wall. She sat on a stone block and ate the noodles with relish, taking a big sip.

"Eat a few mouthfuls of noodles and drink a sip of soup, how happy I am!"

Hua Ye should have been enjoying the delicious food but the pleasure he felt just wasn't there. The noodles tasted bland.

Xuzhi looked at her jumping up and down without any scruples and acting recklessly. He felt a little annoyed, but he couldn't get angry at all. Instead, he silently fell down with her.

As soon as he found his footing, he gently scolded: "You can do whatever you want!"

Xuzhi stood beside her, leaning his back against the city wall and slowly closing his eyes, his mind constantly searching for the loosened barrier in the city that suppressed evil spirits.

"It's not that Master Xuzhi pampers me, so naturally I can do whatever I want!"

Hua Ye chewed noodles while mumbling flattering words.

Xu Zhi ignored it and continued to feel the same aura in the city, which seemed to be a demonic aura...

Hua Ye suppressed his nausea and ate the noodle soup in his hand cleanly, even drinking the soup in one gulp, and gently placed the bowl on the ground.

He took out a white gold handkerchief embroidered with lotus flowers on his chest, slowly wiped the silver chopsticks in his hand, and put them in his pocket.

"Master, can you summon the wind and rain?"

Xuzhi listened to her seemingly nonchalant words, which showed her eagerness to know the definite answer, and suddenly opened his almond-shaped eyes.

He stared down at her dark head and said, "Are you trying to pray for rain?"

"Yes, I heard from people on the street that Qicheng hasn't had any rain for almost three years. The rain never came during the spring plowing season, so the people had nothing to harvest, and all the crops in the fields were ruined..."

"You don't need to tell me all this, I can see it all! It's just..."

"Just what?"

Hua Ye suddenly stood up and stepped on the stone pier. With his determined eyes and flushed cheeks, he looked straight at Xu Zhi's cold and handsome face which was so close to him.

She said angrily, "If you know how to do that, why don't you help? Where do you get so many reasons? Shouldn't a cultivator care about the world?"

"You little girl, I haven't finished what I'm saying yet. This rain can only temporarily relieve the urgent need. I can't make it rain day and night, right?"

Xu Zhi looked at her increasingly charming face, and his momentum actually weakened a little...
