The Year of Lihua: She Was Reborn

The morning sun rose as usual, but the weather became hotter and hotter. The ground was scorching hot and people changed into thin clothes.

The people of Sucheng also woke up from that nightmare, gradually forgot everything that happened in the past, and immersed themselves in a new life.

The bustling crowds on the streets also indicate that the incident has passed, and the city gates have added checkpoints to check for demons and monsters to prevent those transformed monsters from taking advantage of the situation to enter the city and cause chaos.

The entrance to the underground cave was also blocked by a group of demon hunters, who cast a trap like a net, and no one could enter the place anymore.

The demon hunters who were clearing out the remaining demons in the city were inspecting every corner of Sucheng in shifts. Everything was developing in a good and stable direction.

Hua Ye pushed open the large window of the inn and couldn't help but smile with satisfaction when he saw the smoke rising from under the rubble of the buildings.

This peaceful atmosphere was the pure land in her mind, but the lost gold and silver became a pain in her heart.

"We haven't found any trace of the gold-devouring beast for two days. I wonder where it's hiding..."

Hua Ye felt annoyed and sighed, as if he was at his wit's end.

Xu Zhi, who was affected by her sighs, appeared before her eyes in an instant: "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell? Or are you in a bad mood?"

"No, I just can't find any trace of the gold-devouring beast, and I'm a little frustrated. How about you take some money out of your little treasury and give it to them?"

Hua Ye looked at his concerned expression, and a warm feeling flowed through her heart, but she was touched for only a moment. She then started to think about his vault, and then changed her mind and said.

"Didn't you say that the money-eating beast loves the smell of money? Bring out all your mountains of gold and silver. I don't believe it can hold back!"

Hua Ye became more and more excited as he spoke, and began to dance unconsciously.

Seeing her childish cuteness as she became more serious, the doting and love in Xu Zhi's cold eyes couldn't help but deepen a bit, as if those eyes could eat her up.

"I'll do whatever you want. I won't hesitate to ask for anything else. Madam, just give me your orders!"

"Let's do it right away. Do you have a lot of gold and silver? We need to find a house in the middle of the city to store it so the smell can spread in all directions."

Hua Ye jumped down from the windowsill and landed steadily on the street from the sky. The people around were no longer surprised by Miss Hua's unconventional behavior.

The vendor opposite asked without even looking up, "Miss Hua, where are you going?"

"walking around……"

Xu Zhi also fell behind her and put his arm around her shoulders, because the team of monster hunters walking towards Hua Ye was led by Zuo Nian.

"I forgot to tell you that the Gold Devouring Beast must be controlled by someone, otherwise it wouldn't devour extremely pure gold, but instead would gnaw on the gold mines deep in the mountains."

He deliberately lowered his head and whispered in Hua Ye's ear, his eyes occasionally glancing at Zuo Nian who was about to approach him.

"Itchy... stop it... there are so many people on the street, can you please be more careful..."

Hua Ye's face was flushed at this moment, and his complexion was as red as a ripe apple, and all this was because of the breath that Xu Zhi had just exhaled.

She seemed a little shy and embarrassed, and the people around her cast ambiguous glances at them, their eyes clearly conveying a message: "Look at this young couple, they are so loving!"

At this moment, Zuo Nian inadvertently caught a glimpse of Hua Ye's figure.

In an instant, an irrepressible joy surged in his heart, but after just a moment, he forced himself to suppress the emotion.

He forced himself not to look at Hua Ye even once, for fear that if he looked at him for one more second, he would lose control of his inner impulse.

In the end, Zuo Nian didn't even dare to say a simple greeting, but walked straight past the two of them without hesitation, and walked quickly towards the next place that needed to be searched without looking back.

At the same time, Hua Ye's original attention was distracted by Xu Zhi's sudden appearance and interruption. Strangely, this time Hua Ye's gaze unexpectedly did not fall on Zuo Nian.

There is no doubt that this must have been done intentionally by Xu Zhi. He seemed to deliberately not want Hua Ye to see Zuo Nian.

The two then disguised themselves as a couple heading north for business as planned.

They have great ambitions and want to gain a foothold in Sucheng, settle down and build a career, and establish an important shopping mall contact point here.

To this end, they have carefully prepared in advance all the funds needed to open the transportation line.

Their identities were also announced, and the huge number of red lacquered wooden boxes weighing thousands of pounds were carried back and forth eighteen times before they were taken off the carriage and placed in the house they had just bought.

"The bait has been released, just waiting for the fish to bite..."

Hua Ye was confident. She had already ordered people to spread the word in the city that a wealthy couple from business had come to Sucheng and bought a house to store their gold and silver jewelry.
