The Year of Lihua: She Was Reborn

"Your table is lively, but it lacks some grandeur. How about I join you for a drink?"

The proprietress came over gracefully, carrying a pot of fragrant wine and walking with light and elegant cat steps, like a wild rose swaying in the wind.

Her slender waist swayed gently with her steps, as agile as a water snake, attracting the attention of everyone present.

Finally, the proprietress came to the table where Ye Hua and the others were sitting, and gently placed the wine jug in her hand steadily on the table.

Then, she smiled slightly, like a blooming rose, exuding charming fragrance, and sat down on the chair next to Xiao Bai Ze.

After sitting down, the proprietress pressed her body against Xiao Bai Ze without any hesitation, as if there was an inseparable close relationship between the two of them.

One of her delicate hands naturally rested on Xiao Bai Ze's broad shoulders, exerting a little force, as if trying to pull him closer.

In her other hand, she held a piece of soft silk, stroking Xiao Bai Ze's handsome face back and forth. Her movements were gentle and ambiguous, which made people imagine a lot.

"This young man is quite handsome!"

"Drink, we must ask you to have a drink with us!"

Upon seeing this, Senior Brother Li Li immediately pulled the innkeeper's wife to sit closer to him, and even filled her glass with a full cup.

"Then I have to drink with the boss lady, otherwise it would seem that we are too unkind, right?"

Ye Hua also filled the big bowl in front of him, then held it high and stood up to toast the proprietress.

"I did it, you can do whatever you want!"

"Oh my... I really didn't realize you were so experienced. It seems you can't judge a person by his appearance."

The proprietress narrowed her bewitching fox eyes and looked at Ye Hua coquettishly. Her words showed her approval of her, as well as her curiosity about her identity.

Just as Ye Hua was about to drink the wine, Xiao Baize snatched it away and brought it to his own mouth, drinking it all in one gulp.

"I'll drink it for her..."

"If you don't like drinking, then don't drink! Why are you trying to show off?" Li Li awkwardly retracted his hand that was stretched out in the air.

"You, my dear sister, are quite likable. Take your time eating and drinking. I'll go and keep the guests at that table company company."

The proprietress placed the wine here with a graceful posture, then twisted her slender waist and walked slowly towards another table with light and charming steps.

There were a few burly men with fat faces and flickering eyes sitting at that table. They had malicious smiles on their faces and exchanged glances with each other with shifty eyes.

One of the guys took advantage of the proprietress's back and quickly took out a small packet of powder from his pocket and poured it into the wine glasses that the proprietress had just filled for them without anyone noticing.

This is obviously not a good thing, but some drug that can make people unconscious.

At this time, the heavy snow flying all over the sky outside finally stopped, but the biting north wind was still roaring and howling at the window like a ferocious beast, making bursts of terrifying whistling sounds.

Although the temperature was still bitterly cold, as if it could penetrate one's bones, fortunately, the fire in this wooden house was burning brightly. The fire was extremely strong, emitting rolling heat waves, so that the people in the house could not feel the slightest bit of the coldness from the outside world.

The proprietress had a smile on her face, a smile that was subtle yet moving, just like the peach blossoms blooming in spring, as delicate, gentle and lovely.

She gracefully extended her hand, took the wine glass handed to her by those with ulterior motives, and without the slightest hesitation, raised her head and drank it all in one gulp with a smile.

However, not long after, the proprietress began to feel dizzy, her body began to shake involuntarily, and she became a little dizzy.

The innkeeper's wife deliberately poured wine on the man, rubbing her forehead and saying, "How can this wine be so strong? My head hurts..."

Seeing this, the inn's waiter immediately came out from behind the counter and wanted to hold the proprietress's waist, but was stopped by those people, who glared at the waiter with wide eyes for several times.

The clerk was so frightened that he dared not take a step forward and could only let their leader carry the proprietress horizontally upstairs.

Li Li looked at Ye Hua without trying to stop him. He just looked like a bystander enjoying the show and ate the meat on the plate from time to time.

He stood up quickly, rushed forward, and stopped their leader in front of the old stairs.

"That's inappropriate! Aren't you taking advantage of someone in distress? I'd like to ask you to hand this lady proprietress over to one of her innkeepers for safer care..."

The subordinates who were still drinking saw that he had blocked the way of their leader, and they rushed over in groups of three or five.

"Where did you come from, Taoist priest? You've been babbling for a long time, what kind of bullshit are you talking about..."

"Damn it, are you looking for a beating?"

A thin servant with a pointed face and monkey cheeks took two steps at a time and went towards Li Li's face with his fists clenched.

Li Li just moved his body slightly and easily avoided the seemingly fierce move, which was actually somewhat weak and powerless.

The proprietress closed her eyes and moved her small, round ears, trying to hear what was happening in front of her.

However, the noisy sounds from the crowd watching the excitement around her affected her judgment, and she could only squint her eyes and observe secretly.

"Master, do you really not need to take action?"

Xiao Baize turned his head to look at Li Li who was being besieged, then turned back to ask Ye Hua for his opinion.

After drinking a bowl of warm wine, Ye Hua felt a little dizzy, his cheeks flushed, and his eyes began to become blurred.

She turned her head, not knowing where to look, and pointed at a ball of air, saying, "There are only a few of them, not enough for me to beat up. Why should I fight? There's no need for us to do anything..."

"This alcohol tolerance is amazing..." Hua Ye in her mind couldn't help but complain as he looked at the overlapping figures in front of him, and slowly closed his eyes.

"Brother, beat them up! Beat them so hard that they can't even walk..."

Xiao Baize looked at Ye Hua, whose face was as red as an apple, and found her more and more adorable and interesting.

For a moment, everyone present didn't know where to look. One person was dancing drunkenly, and the other was surrounded. In an instant, the cold environment became hot.

"Come on, why don't you dare to come on? Come on all of you..."

The leader who was hugging the proprietress tightly had his beard almost standing up in anger, and the right corner of his mouth was twitching, causing his right cheek with a slanted scar to twitch as well.

His men saw that the skinny monkey was firmly trampled under Li Li's feet, so they dared not move forward easily...
