The Year of Lihua: She Was Reborn

Hua Ye stood up and slowly looked around at the dense woods. He saw tender green buds sprouting on the branches of every big tree. A vibrant and spring-like scene appeared before his eyes.

This place seems to be a fairyland isolated from the world, completely unaffected by the drought in the outside world.

The moist air was filled with a strong floral scent, but this scent was somewhat special. The top notes were thick and pungent, causing Hua Ye to sneeze repeatedly: "Aqiu Aqiu..."

She rubbed her nose gently, trying to ease the discomfort. Then, she slightly tilted her straight nose bridge to adjust the sensitivity of her sense of smell, making the strong aroma less irritating.

At this moment, her whole mind was attracted by the exotic flowers and plants in the forest, and her eyes were shining with curiosity.

Hua Ye turned around, deliberately avoiding looking at the increasingly intimate actions between Xu Zhi and Wu Tong Yuan behind him.

She took a deep breath, then without hesitation dived into the bushes beside her, as if wanting to get away from the scene that made her feel uncomfortable.

When Xuzhi turned around to check on her discomfort, the figure had already disappeared behind him, leaving only the rustling green leaves.

"Tell your men not to hurt her!"

Xuzhi's cold and handsome face turned into a calm and unapproachable look again. The aura around him became several degrees colder, causing Wutongyuan to unconsciously lower the corners of his mouth that were already cold behind his ears.

"I obey your command, Your Highness!"

As she finished speaking, she gently waved her fair and powerful wrist, and a colorful cuckoo in the forest flew into the bushes beside her as if summoned.

"Yuan'er, I thought your personality would have changed after all these years of trials and tribulations, but now it seems you remain the same, still so cold and indifferent, as if nothing in the world could cause the slightest fluctuation in your heart."

Wutong led the way slowly in front and sighed softly.

The two of them walked through a winding path covered with thorny flowers and finally arrived at the depths of Canglang Mountain.

Here, a unique and elegant courtyard stands quietly in the center of the lake, surrounded by clear water, like a shining pearl inlaid in it.

In the courtyard, a sturdy and huge old locust tree stands tall, its crown lush and flourishing, like a giant green parasol.

Built next to this old tree is a U-shaped courtyard. The courtyard is spacious and bright, magnificent, and gives people a sense of solemnity.

Every corner of the courtyard was cleaned spotlessly, leaving no dust on the ground, which made people feel respectful.

At this moment, Xu Zhijin was sitting leisurely on the stone bench under the tree, enjoying Wutong's meticulous service with a calm demeanor - making tea, playing the piano, he was so happy.

"I'm glad you understand! I came here only to take some water from your lake in the center of the earth to use in creating a thunderstorm."

When Wutong handed an exquisite wooden teacup to him, he took it and drank it all in one gulp without hesitation, then spoke slowly.

Wutong looked at him in a daze, with a hint of surprise and confusion in his eyes, but he quickly regained his composure and said with a smile.

"When did Your Highness become so polite? Please take it!"

She gently picked up the teapot and gracefully filled his cup with tea. Then she continued, "Are you trying to meddle in human affairs? If the gods in heaven knew about this, they would probably..."

"It's nothing, it's just raining, and it's a good deed that benefits the people and saves all living beings. Naturally, there will be no punishment. Yuan'er, don't worry."

Xuzhi seemed to nonchalantly put down the cup that was already filled with tea, but his almond-shaped eyes looked around involuntarily, and he couldn't help feeling a little anxious.

: This little girl loves to play so much, why hasn’t she come back yet?

Wutong keenly caught the subtle strangeness and worry on his face, so he comforted him softly.

"That girl is currently playing with the elves in the forest..."

Hua Ye was surrounded by short, newly formed flower elves. They had never seen anything other than flowers, birds, fish and insects, and they looked up and down at this sudden human.

"Tell me where you came from? How did you break through the barrier set up by Sister Wutong and get in?"

"Are you human?"

"Are you a boy or a girl?"

…………

They asked questions at the same time, leaving Hua Ye no room to answer or interrupt, and asked the questions in their hearts one after another.

Hua Ye looked at those young, innocent and lovely elves in confusion. He was infected by their enthusiasm, but still felt a little hesitant.

He stammered for a long time without saying a word. He was so embarrassed that his toes touched the ground. He was also pressed down on the grass.
