The Year of Lihua: She Was Reborn

As night fell, the sky gradually became darker as if it was slowly covered by a huge black curtain.

The unbearable scorching heat of the day seemed to be dispelled in an instant, replaced by a refreshing coolness. You could even feel a slight breeze quietly blowing across your face, bringing a hint of fresh air.

Looking up at the night sky today, I saw that the starry sky that should have been shining brightly was now dotted with only a few sparse stars, like a few pearls inlaid on the black sky, looking a little lonely and deserted.

As the temperature dropped suddenly, the streets that were once bustling and crowded began to slowly return to calm.

The bustling crowds dispersed as time passed, leaving only a few small vendors who were packing up their stalls and preparing to go home.

As time went on, even the vendors finished their work for the day and left the street. At this time, the entire street had become empty and silent, with only the occasional barking of dogs breaking the silence.

In this quiet night, only the lonely night watchman and teams of patrolling soldiers still stick to their posts. Their figures are stretched out in the moonlight, as if they are the guardians of the sleeping city.

Look at the crescent moon hanging high in the sky. It hangs there quietly, casting a silvery light.

However, a few dark clouds that had floated in at some point blocked half of the moon, making the moonlight much dimmer.

Such a scene makes the night seem even more peaceful and tranquil, as if the whole world is immersed in a peaceful dream.

Suddenly, a gust of wind whistled past, like a ferocious beast, and slammed hard into the gate of this ancient Xuzhai mansion.

In an instant, dust flew up, forming a yellow-brown whirlwind, rolling up the fine sand and fallen leaves on the ground, and flying wildly in the air.

At this moment, a thin figure jumped lightly like a ghost and appeared under the eaves in an instant.

In the faint moonlight, you can see that the figure has a pair of eyes that shine brightly in the dark night, like two dazzling gems, flashing a mysterious and cunning light.

At this moment, those eyes were staring intently at the interior of the house, carefully observing every move inside.

It's like a cheetah waiting for an opportunity, patiently waiting for the best time to attack.

Inside the house, Miss Hua Ye was wearing plain clothes and sleeping in her clothes, lying quietly on the bed.

Although her eyes were closed, her small and delicate ears were like lively elves, constantly trembling slightly, always alertly listening to even the slightest sound from the outside world.

The thin figure looked around on the eaves, carefully observing every corner of the yard below. After confirming that there was no human figure, he jumped lightly from the rubble with confidence.

She was as nimble as a swallow, her movements smooth and flowing, and she landed steadily in the yard.

The figure who had landed raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a smug smile, and muttered softly, "This family is really generous! With such a huge fortune, they didn't even arrange for a gatekeeper... God is really helping me!"

However, despite saying this, her actions became more cautious, for fear that she would accidentally touch a mechanism hidden in the dark or trigger an imperceptible barrier.

In fact, the barriers set up in this area are layered and closely connected, as if forming an indestructible fortress.

If Ruoxu hadn't intended it this way, no one would have been able to detect the secret hidden here.

The reason why he planned so carefully was for only one purpose - to lure that mysterious figure into the trap.

He cleverly designed every detail, just to make the figure gradually relax his vigilance and step into the deadly trap set by him and Hua Ye step by step until he could not extricate himself.

At this time, Hua Ye softly asked Xu Zhi who was lying beside him: "Do you think she has entered the warehouse?"

Xu Zhi narrowed his eyes slightly, thought for a moment, and then replied, "According to our estimated time calculation, she should have already entered the warehouse by now... Come on, I'll take you to meet this greedy guy!"

Before he finished speaking, Xu Zhi waved his sleeves, and a dazzling space wormhole instantly tore open beside their bed.

Immediately afterwards, he flashed and turned over like a ghost, hugging Hua Ye tightly in his arms.

The two of them hugged each other and rolled down the wormhole together, disappearing without a trace in the blink of an eye.

When they reappeared, they were already quietly lurking on the beams of the warehouse.

Hua Ye looked closely and saw mountains of gold, silver and treasures neatly stacked in the house, one box after another.

However, a jaw-dropping scene was unfolding - the gold-eating beast was extending its long tongue, which could stretch and retract as flexibly as a snake, and was sucking up those extremely precious gold and silver treasures into its stomach mouthful by mouthful.

As the gold-eating beast continued to devour gold, its originally small and exquisite body began to expand at a speed visible to the naked eye.

In the blink of an eye, its size had more than doubled! Moreover, as the amount of gold it devoured continued to increase, its body continued to grow rapidly, as if there was no end in sight...
