The Year of Lihua: She Was Reborn

The bright moon hung high in the sky like a huge silver plate, and its cold light poured down, illuminating the Canglang Mountain with exceptional clarity.

By the hot spring pool, Hua Ye closed his eyes and sat cross-legged quietly in the spotless white bathtub. The bathtub looked like a fine work of art, emitting a faint warm steam.

Mist and rain filled the air, covering everything like a veil. Faintly, her snow-white shoulders flickered, as if they would blend into the hazy mist and rain at any time.

Her long hair that dragged on the ground was now like a white waterfall, slowly floating in the bathtub and tightly surrounding her.

The hair sparkled with a crystal luster under the nourishment of water vapor, and it looked particularly charming against the snow-white bathtub.

And between her snow-white eyebrows, a hint of crimson slowly emerged. That crimson was like a drop of blood falling on the pure snow, so bright and eye-catching.

As time passed, the crimson gradually took on a clear shape, like a newly blooming peony, with layers of petals overlapping, so gorgeous that it seemed as if it would fall to the ground in the wind at the next moment.

The color of the peony is as bright as a freshly painted ornament, and every petal seems to contain endless vitality and vigor.

Gradually, the flower ornaments began to emit golden light, which twinkled like stars. Through the rising hot mist, it illuminated the entire hot spring pool, as if the whole world became dazzling in an instant.

However, the light only lasted for a short moment before it dissipated into the air like bubbles and disappeared from her forehead in an instant.

The originally beautiful Peony Divine Seal seemed to be cast under a spell, quietly disappearing into her skin, and no trace of it could be seen anymore.

At this moment, Hua Ye trembled all over, and cold sweat quickly discharged from her pores all over her body. The sweat was as crystal clear as pearls, and fell into the warm water one by one, making a crisp sound.

After a while, the originally transparent and colorless water was dyed into a pool of turbid sewage by the sweat, and ripples appeared on the water surface, as if telling what had just happened.

Hua Ye frowned slightly, feeling extremely confused and uneasy. She didn't know what this scene just happened meant, and an inexplicable fear surged in her heart...

Xu Zhi carefully held the pile of strange-shaped medicines, and every step seemed to be filled with endless caution and concern.

Some of those medicines looked like twisted branches, some looked like strange stones, and some of them even sparkled with strange and brilliant light.

The strange and colorful light was as dazzling as the brightest star in the night sky. It was obviously some precious medicinal herbs that contained powerful spiritual power.

When he suddenly saw Hua Ye's furrowed brows, his lips trembling slightly in pain, and the beads of sweat the size of soybeans rolling down his forehead.

An indescribable heartache suddenly surged in his heart, and his brows were involuntarily furrowed.

He quickly crossed his legs and sat steadily on the couch behind Hua Ye. He slowly gathered pure and vast immortal power in his palms, and then hit her back hard.

The immortal power was continuously flowing into her body like a rushing torrent, as if he wanted to inject all his strength into her body, just to relieve her pain at the moment.

As time passed quietly, the bright moon that was originally hanging high in the sky was like a slowly moving silver plate, moving little by little towards the foot of the mountain in the west.

During this long period of time, something amazing happened. Hua Ye's hair, which was originally as white as snow, began to slowly change under the gentle illumination of the first rays of warm sunlight from the rising sun...

The black luster gradually spread from the roots of the hair, as if awakened by the spring rain, and little by little it returned to its former black and shiny color, as if time had stopped at this moment to witness this magical transformation.

When the scorching midday sun shone unreservedly on the vast land, Hua Ye, who had been sleeping for a long time, slowly opened his eyes that had been closed for a long time, as if waking up after a long time.

There seemed to be stars twinkling in those eyes, and there seemed to be endless stories and vicissitudes hidden.

"Master, I'm thirsty for water..."

Her voice was low and hoarse, with a hint of weakness in it, like silk polished by time, subtle but able to touch people's hearts.

Xuzhi stood aside, his originally calm heart couldn't help but cheer in his heart, and the joy surged in his heart like waves.

His scarlet eyes were instantly filled with tears. Those tears were like a refreshing rain after a long drought, and seemed to be about to burst out in the next moment.

He kept muttering something, and those words were like whispered spells, and only he could understand the deep meaning of them.

"You finally woke up, Ye'er, do you know? I have been channeling my immortal energy to heal you for a full 49 days. If you don't wake up, I might..."

His words revealed deep worry and concern, as if the long wait had put tremendous pressure on his heart.

Hua Ye slightly raised his limp hands, trying to catch the cup of water that was rippling with water in Xu Zhi's trembling hands. However, his hands seemed to be bound by heavy shackles and could not be lifted out of the water even an inch.

Seeing this, Xu Zhi's eyes flashed with a trace of heartache. He no longer hesitated, and simply squeezed the trembling cup with his palm and handed it steadily to her mouth, then carefully fed her the sweet liquid. Every action he made was full of tenderness and concern.

The drops of water flowed down the corners of her mouth, as if dripping into Xuzhi's heart, making him feel the miracle and warmth of life.
