The Year of Lihua: She Was Reborn

Xuzhi watched everything happening in front of him with an expressionless face, as if it had nothing to do with him, without showing any worry or concern at all.

His deep and mysterious eyes were looking at Hua Ye with interest at this moment, as if full of curiosity and desire to explore him.

At the same time, Wutong on the side was also watching this lively and wonderful show.

When she saw the woman being teased by the elves, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but rise slightly, revealing a smug and satisfied smile.

However, at this moment, the situation suddenly changed - the woman raised her hand angrily and slapped the koi she had taken good care of.

In an instant, Koi cried out in pain and struggled desperately on her shoulder.

Wutong's face instantly became extremely gloomy, and the joy in his heart disappeared without a trace.

She widened her eyes, her face filled with shock and anger, and looked at the crazy woman in front of her in disbelief.

Obviously, for Wutong, this koi is of extraordinary significance. It is not just an elf, but more like a symbol of some emotion deep in her heart.

Now she is being treated so roughly, how can she not be heartbroken?

"Your Highness, your disciple has a very bad temper. He hit me so hard. If he hurts the little koi, you will have to compensate Wutong!"

"She was merciful this time. She should be thankful that the little koi has a pretty face, is petite and cute, and still looks like a child. Otherwise, Ye'er would definitely beat her to a pulp and make her miserable."

As soon as Xu Zhi mentioned Hua Ye, he talked incessantly and said a few more words unconsciously. The love in his eyes could no longer be concealed.

"Tell them to stop messing around!"

A scolding reached Wutong's ears.

"Yes, Your Highness!"

Wutong walked over reluctantly, stretched out his slender fingers, and lightly tapped. The little koi instantly turned back into a koi fish with its whole body shining with golden light.

Seeing that Hua Ye had nothing in his hands, he quickly opened his palms and steadily caught the little koi that was about to slip and fall into the mud.

This little koi was only as big as her palm. Every golden scale shone with a bright luster. Its unique tail and fins kept flapping, as if trying to find water for survival.

Hua Ye held it carefully in his palm and asked with concern: "Why did you suddenly change back to your original form?"

"This koi was very naughty and disturbed Junior Sister, so I beat her back to her original form."

Wutong raised his hand gently, and a group of crystal clear water droplets floated over from the distant core lake and wrapped the struggling koi fish.

The koi fish seemed to have escaped death. It blew bubbles desperately in the water and swam back and forth. It took a long time for it to catch its breath.

"She was just a little naughty, she won't go back to her old ways!"

Hua Ye followed the water droplets closely with his eyes and spoke with some worry.

"It's okay, it's just a slight punishment, and it will turn back into human form in a few days. Ye'er, you don't have to worry. Instead, look at yourself, the clay figure you look like."

Xuzhi walked over with light steps and saw Hua Ye covered in mud, with several muddy claw marks on his face from the little koi, which made him sneer.

"That's good! What's the big deal? I've been in the military for so many years and have rolled through many muddy quagmires. What does this mean?"

Hua Ye patted the almost dried mud on his body, and wiped the mud marks on his face with the robe on his wrist.

Wutong felt unhappy because of her unbeautiful manners and conversation, which were not at all like those of a lady from a noble family: I wonder what His Highness likes about her?

She glanced at Hua Ye with disdain on her face, jealousy flickering in her eyes: "Junior sister, you'd better change out of these dirty clothes!"

"I just came here in a hurry and didn't bring any clothes with me. Master, how about we go back?" Hua Ye trotted to Xu Zhi and asked softly.

Seeing that she was covered in dirt, Xu Zhi took two steps back. Hua Ye also did not move forward and wisely stood where he was.

"Your Highness, it's a rare visit for you. Why are you leaving now? I have plenty of clothes. Just change into one."

Wutong hurried forward to stop them, took Xuzhi's arm affectionately and said.

Xu Zhi didn't dodge and let her hold him, saying calmly, "Then get her some clothes to change into! I really miss Yuan'er's wine and want to stay here for a while."

Hua Ye lowered his head and followed their intimate figures obediently, feeling mixed emotions.

"Qingcheng, take Sister Ye'er to the hot springs for a bath and get her some suitable clothes."

Wutong ordered Qingcheng to take her away intentionally or unintentionally to create an opportunity to be alone with Xuzhi.

"Sister Ye'er, please come this way..."

Hua Ye looked displeased and followed Qingcheng silently, walking in the opposite direction of them.
