The Year of Lihua: She Was Reborn

Hua Ye was seen with a furious look on his face, rushing towards Xu Fu with a fierce momentum, as if he really wanted to beat him up.

Seeing this, Xu Fu was shocked and quickly let go of Wu Tong who had been hiding in his arms.

In the blink of an eye, the two of them started a fierce chase.

They ran around the stone bench in the center of the pavilion, circle after circle, like two nimble monkeys.

Whenever Xu Fu was about to be hit by the knife in Hua Ye's hand, he was always able to easily avoid the fatal blow with his agility and extraordinary reaction speed.

In this way, time passed minute by minute, and Hua Ye, who was panting and exhausted, gradually felt unable to continue.

At this moment, she only felt a tightness in her chest, and her throat seemed to be tightly strangled by an invisible big hand, and even breathing became extremely difficult.

A deep despair and helplessness surged in her heart, making her feel like she had no desire to live. At the same time, a stream of scorching heat rushed straight to her forehead, making her dizzy and almost unable to stand.

Xu Zhi, who had been paying attention to the battle situation, keenly noticed something wrong with Hua Ye's body.

Without hesitation, he dodged and stood in front of Xu Fu as fast as lightning.

However, because the action was too sudden, Hua Ye, who had not anticipated this situation at all, had no time to withdraw his hand, and the hand knife raised high chopped straight towards Xu Zhi's left shoulder.

With a light "pa" sound, Hua Ye's seemingly sharp hand knife landed on Xu Zhi's shoulder, but it seemed so soft and powerless.

Xu Fu couldn't help but widen his eyes as he watched the scene before him, and couldn't help but complain: "Is that all the strength you have? Where did your usual energy go? Could it be that you didn't eat enough today and your father kicked you out of the house?"

Hearing Xu Fu's teasing words, Hua Ye was so angry that he almost vomited blood.

She raised her head, glared at Xu Fu fiercely, and was about to open her mouth to refute him.

Xuzhi suddenly noticed his elder brother's slightly furrowed brow and slightly worried look.

Following Xuzhi's gaze, he realized that Hua Ye's already thin body was even more shaky due to the intense exercise just now, as if he would fall to the ground at any time.

At this moment, Wutong, who had already put aside the previous embarrassment, quickly stood up, walked quickly to Hua Ye's side, and reached out to firmly support her body which was about to fall to the ground due to her weak steps.

Her light weight was a huge difference from her previous self, even the slightest bit of fat on her waist had disappeared without a trace.

"You little girl, even if we have to sacrifice our lives for His Highness, it's us who should do it, not a little girl like you!"

Wutong's eyes couldn't help but turn red, and his voice was choked with a hint of heartache.

"No, I can't risk my life for him. I have a vendetta against that monster, both old and new, so I'm just trying to save my own skin."

Hua Ye took a few deep breaths, as if to gather all the strength in his body. After a long while, he slowly opened his mouth and explained the whole story in an orderly manner.

Her soft voice was particularly clear in the silent night, and she spoke every word carefully, for fear of adding even the slightest psychological burden to the people present.

At this moment, a large and round bright moon has already quietly climbed to the treetops.

It is like a flawless white jade plate, emitting bright light and softly falling on the earth.

The pond sparkled under the moonlight, like countless tiny diamonds sparkling and jumping on the water.

Those colorful koi fish with bubbles coming out of their bodies seemed to feel the wonderful moonlight as well. They poked their heads out from the bottom of the water and greedily sucked in the inestimable essence of the sun and moon between heaven and earth.

They swam happily, sometimes jumping out of the water, splashing small water droplets; sometimes playing and chasing each other, it was so lively.

When the water-like moonlight slanted down and shone on Hua Ye's increasingly thin and frail body, a hint of increasingly obvious warmth actually revealed in Xu Zhi's originally cold eyes.

However, when people heard the words that came out of her mouth, they couldn't help but feel a little unhappy.

Perhaps it was because what she said was incompatible with the atmosphere at the time, or perhaps there were some unknown hardships and helplessness hidden in it.

"You're just being stubborn! Didn't you see how livid his face was when he saw my eldest brother injured? He looked like he wanted to tear the tendons and skin off the person who hurt him to vent his anger."

Seeing Xu Zhi's slightly unhappy face, Xu Fu sat down on the stone bench and started to retort, but his tone was less aggressive and more respectful...
