The Year of Lihua: She Was Reborn

As soon as Hua Ye stepped into the barrier halfway up the mountain, Xu Zhi appeared beside her in an instant.

At this time, the setting sun was like blood, dyeing half the sky red and covering the entire mountain range with a mysterious veil.

The breeze blew, and the leaves rustled, as if telling an ancient story.

Hua Ye sighed in her heart that the beautiful scenery formed a sharp contrast with her mood at the moment.

"Where have you been all day? Now even my tracking skills are ineffective on you? Fortunately, I can still sense your inner elixir, otherwise I would have found you even if I turned the mountain upside down." Xuzhi's voice was filled with a hint of blame.

The feeling of being suddenly approached was still a little uncomfortable. Hua Ye frowned slightly, and a feeling of dissatisfaction surged in his heart.

She thought to herself: "This guy is always so elusive, so annoying! But, he also cares about me..."

Her eyes unconsciously fell on Xuzhi, and a ripple appeared in her heart again.

Xu Fu, who was standing beside her, instantly felt the breath of his elder brother and widened the distance between him and Hua Ye.

"Brother, you scared me like this!" Xu Fu's voice trembled a little, and he was obviously frightened by Xu Zhi's sudden appearance.

Hearing the guilty words, Xu Zhi glanced at Xu Fu intentionally or unintentionally, and realized from his evasive gaze that there seemed to be something between them that they were hiding from him.

A trace of doubt rose in his heart: "What on earth are they hiding from me? Is it about Wutong?"

Xuzhi felt a little uneasy and couldn't help but clench his hands tightly.

"Aren't you sticking to Wutong every day? Why are you looking for your sister-in-law today?" Xuzhi glanced down at him condescendingly, with a sense of oppression.

Hua Ye stood on tiptoe between the two of them, facing Xu Zhi and speaking in a pitiful and coquettish manner.

"I'm so tired today. Those Nether Wolves are really hard to deal with!" She put her hands behind her back and fanned her empty belly frantically: Let's go!

Xuzhi looked her up and down, and was relieved when he saw that she was only stained with some blood and had no scars.

He secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time admired Hua Ye's bravery and tenacity.

"This girl is always so worrying..." There was a hint of doting in his eyes.

He gently stretched out his hand and slowly rubbed her silky hair, his eyes filled with endless doting.

His smile was like a crescent moon, emitting a warm and charming light.

"They are so unlucky to have met you! I'm afraid you can easily drive them away without a trace and eradicate them completely without even using any magic!" He teased with a smile.

Hearing this, the corners of Hua Ye's delicate face like an oval became more and more raised, and it was obvious that he was very pleased with the praise.

Seeing Hua Ye walking towards the bedroom with her head held high and chest puffed out in high spirits, Xu Zhi, who was behind her, also took big strides and followed her closely at a leisurely pace.

Suddenly, Xu Zhi quickened his pace to catch up with her, slightly leaned sideways and lowered his head, leaned close to her ear and whispered softly: "But, I still prefer to hear you call me husband!"

His shameless yet magnetic voice was like a spring breeze blowing through Hua Ye's heart. Just this short sentence made Hua Ye's cheeks blush instantly.

However, Hua Ye hesitated for a moment, then responded coquettishly: "But I... I'm still more accustomed to calling you Master!"

Facing Hua Ye's answer, Xu Zhi did not show any displeasure or intention to force it.

Instead, he smiled softly and said, "That's all right. It's up to you. If you want to talk about something, I'll listen. If you don't want to talk, I'll pretend I know nothing."

After saying that, he continued to walk side by side with Hua Ye towards the bedroom.

He had learned the tactic of being roundabout. He did not question Hua Ye directly, but hinted at it in a roundabout way.

Hua Ye took a deep breath and said as if he had made up his mind: "Well, I'll tell you, but please don't get angry after hearing this!"

In fact, Hua Ye knew very well that this matter could not be concealed for long. Instead of continuing to cover it up, it would be better to tell the whole story directly.

Then, Hua Ye continued, "Zuo Nian encountered some troubles and asked me to help.

"I've thought it over again and again, and I feel that it's both moral and rational for me to help him. After all, this is also a way to repay the kindness he showed me in his previous life."

After saying these words, Hua Ye paused for a moment, observing the other party's reaction.

At this moment, a clear and firm voice rang out: "Okay, I will go with you!"

The person who spoke was Xuzhi.

However, when he heard this, Hua Ye was obviously surprised.

She never expected that Xuzhi would agree to go with her so readily.

After a brief moment of surprise, Hua Ye quickly regained her composure. She stared at Xu Zhi quietly, pondering in her heart.

After about half a quarter of an hour, Hua Ye finally spoke slowly, "It would be great if you could come with us. With you by my side, I'm sure many difficult problems will be easily solved."
