The Year of Lihua: She Was Reborn

Before leaving

Wutong said softly to Xuzhi's figure, "Your Highness, the food is ready. Please enjoy it slowly!"

Although the voice was not loud, it was full of respect.

Before she could retreat, Hua Ye couldn't wait to trot out, with a forced smile on his face, and said.

"Thank you, Sister Wutong. You've worked so hard..."

After saying this, he bowed, sat down in the main seat, and began to eat voraciously, completely disregarding whether the dishes were too light.

Wutong looked at Hua Ye, who had no image at all, and his face became extremely gloomy. He felt more and more disgusted with this woman, and even couldn't help revealing a look that wanted to cut her with a knife.

However, none of this escaped Hua Ye's eyes. She suddenly put down her chopsticks and looked straight at Wu Tong, fearlessly meeting his murderous gaze.

She sneered, "Humph, calling you sister is already giving you enough respect, don't always act like you want to kill someone..."

Facing Wutong's sharp gaze, Hua Ye had no intention of retreating.

She stared at Wutong closely, with a firm and confident light in her eyes, as if telling the other party that she was not afraid of the power she possessed as a flower demon with thousands of years of skills.

"you……"

Wutong was so angry that his face turned blue, his lips trembled slightly, and he pointed at Hua Ye but couldn't say a complete sentence.

Obviously, she never expected Hua Ye to respond to her so strongly, and she was a little at a loss for a moment.

"As the saying goes, a forced melon is not sweet, and this is especially true when it comes to love! Since my master has no romantic feelings for you, why are you still pursuing him so persistently?"

Hua Ye stood up quickly, took two steps at a time and walked towards Xu Zhi's figure, and continued.

"There are so many men in this world, why should you be so obsessed with just one? Let the past be the past. As the saying goes, 'There are always more beautiful women in the world.' Only by letting go of the past can you better embrace the future!"

Wutong was so angry listening to her endless chatter that she completely disregarded Xuzhi's feelings. A thin sword appeared out of thin air in her outstretched hand.

He gathered all his strength and stabbed towards Hua Ye's chest. The sword tip split the air into two, obviously intending to kill him.

Looking at the sharp sword, Hua Ye didn't show any panic at all. He stopped moving forward and stood there in a daze.

He just called out: "Master Xu!"

Wutong's figure was blasted out of the villa by an invisible force and flew several feet away.

Xu Zhi sternly scolded, "Wutong, if you dare to cross the line again, you won't just be thrown out of the palace!"

He spoke in a stern tone and with strong words, which made people feel afraid.

At this moment, Hua Ye witnessed all this happening and felt distressed for Wutong who had rolled several times outside the palace gate just now.

Wutong looked aggrieved, his elbows were rubbed raw, and there were a few scratches on his cheeks, but he still had to kneel on one knee to apologize to Xuzhi.

"I have just offended Your Highness impulsively. Please forgive me. I really shouldn't have any bad intentions towards you." Wutong lowered his head and said with a slightly choked voice.

However, in the face of Wutong's confession of fault and plea for mercy, Xuzhi did not show any mercy or tolerance.

On the contrary, he frowned tightly, his eyes revealing obvious impatience and a hint of annoyance.

Then he responded in a serious and slightly annoyed tone: "I have warned you many times, but why do you still behave so recklessly?"

Hua Ye has never liked being violent towards women, and he always feels a little bit reluctant.

"That's all, Master!"

Hua Ye walked up quickly, held Xu Zhi's arm tightly, and there was a hint of pleading in his eyes, as if suggesting that he should stop saying those hurtful words.

"Sister Wutong, everything I said came from my heart. Falling in love with someone who doesn't love you is like tying yourself up in a cage..."

As Hua Ye spoke, the redness in his eyes gradually spread and tears welled up uncontrollably.

"Instead of being so persistent, why not choose someone who truly loves you? This way, you might get more happiness... There's no need to say anything more..."

Only by experiencing the heart-wrenching pain personally can one wake up completely and turn around and leave without hesitation.

Xu Zhi seemed to have heard the voice deep in her heart. He stretched out his arms and gently wrapped them around her slender waist, holding her tightly in his arms. His thin chin gently rested on the top of her head, as if he wanted to take her whole body under his protection.

His tall body completely blocked out the light from outside, making her completely enveloped in a warm shadow. This unprecedented sense of security made her feel extremely relieved.

His broad and warm palms slowly opened, carefully wrapped her clenched fists in them, and then gently stroked them with his slender fingertips, trying to calm her inner anxiety.
