The Year of Lihua: She Was Reborn

Hua Ye, who couldn't tell the direction, randomly found an exit with light in the wormhole and flew out.

As soon as she flew out, the divine power in her body disappeared, and her whole body lost support like a kite with a broken string, floating down rapidly with the flow of air.

Above her head was the starry night sky, and below her was the endless sea, with waves rolling one after another, forming layer upon layer of huge waves.

Hua Ye looked at the turbulent sea with his increasingly blurred eyes, and couldn't help but worry about his life in his heart.

But the overwhelming sleepiness forced her to close her eyes deeply.

When Ye Hua's body fell into the sea and gradually sank to the bottom.

A huge monster swam over and lifted Ye Hua, who was about to hit the bottom, onto its hard back.

The behemoth had a dragon-like head, four strong legs, a long tail, and its entire body was covered with hard dragon scales...

This form looks like Xu Fu's original form.

It raised its head, exerted force, and swam upwards towards the sea surface. It rushed out of the sea like a carp leaping over the dragon gate and transformed into a human form. As expected, its appearance was almost the same as Xu Fu's.

He held the unconscious Ye Hua horizontally in his arms.

But his posture was funny. He stretched his hands far away, not letting Ye Hua's body get close to his chest, as if he was holding a hot potato.

With a leap, he lifted Ye Hua's light body and landed steadily on the soft sandy beach of Penglai Fairy Island in the middle of the sea.

The island is filled with a faint mist, which contains natural spiritual power that makes people forget the fatigue of the day and feel refreshed after taking a breath.

The island is full of lush vegetation, and the colorful flowers in full bloom are dazzling.

The lush trees grow unevenly, some are tall and straight, while others are strange and unique.

But without exception, they all have vigorous vitality.

He had just carried Ye Hua into the barrier of the fairy island when Bai Ze, who was still practicing in seclusion on the island, immediately smelled Ye Hua's familiar breath and stood up in a flash.

He instantly appeared in front of the person holding Ye Hua: "Xu Fu, where did you save her?"

Bai Ze was ecstatic at first, then felt surprised, but then he became so nervous seeing Ye Hua's unconscious state that his heart started pounding.

When I heard the steady heartbeat in Ye Hua's chest, I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, but I couldn't help but guess in my heart.

Didn’t she promise her master that she would never come to see us in this life?

Why is he here in such a miserable state?

"Brother, why did you come out of seclusion? Have you recovered from your internal injuries? If you hadn't ordered us brothers not to cause trouble for Qingcheng Mountain, we would have razed that damn sect to the ground..."

Xu Fu became more and more angry as he spoke, and even started gesturing, throwing the dying Ye Hua forward.

Bai Ze was so scared that his face turned pale. He immediately bent down and reached out to catch Ye Hua steadily, holding her tightly in his arms.

"I told you not to act on impulse. The master from Qingcheng Mountain is no pushover. His magical powers are unfathomable. I almost never came back after going there. What's more, you young men who are not well-trained should just focus on your cultivation."

Bai Ze rarely said a series of words of exhortation, which made Xu Fu unable to help but look at Bai Ze several more times.

He even stared at the woman in his arms, who made his eldest brother extremely nervous.

"Let's talk about it later. Who is she? Big brother, why are you so nervous about her?"

"When she wakes up, you'll know."

Bai Ze's voice was gradually fading away, and Xu Fu saw it and hurriedly chased after him.

The two tall figures slowly disappeared into the mist.

When Ye Hua opened his eyes, it was already noon the next day, and the fog on Penglai Fairy Island had dissipated.

Under the sunshine, the full picture of the fairy island is displayed without reservation.

The colorful flowers appear even more dazzling and bright, and the lush trees also reflect green light and vitality.

"What is this?"

The exquisite sandalwood-colored wooden house caught her eye. Light purple morning glories were blooming on the beams of the house, emitting a faint fragrance. Ye Hua felt a lot more relaxed after taking a whiff of it.

Bai Ze rushed over after hearing the noise, and rushed forward to hug Ye Hua who had just crawled in.

"You finally woke up. I thought you wanted to sleep for a few more days..."

"I'm awake now, where am I?"

Ye Hua was hugged so tightly by him that he could hardly breathe.

"Also, little brother, can you let me go first? I feel uncomfortable..."

When Bai Ze heard this, he immediately let her go, straightened her weak body, and let her sit on the bed.

"I'm just too excited. It's been a few years since I last saw you. Why did you come down the mountain?"

Maybe it’s because we haven’t seen each other for so long, but Bai Ze seems to talk a lot more than he did back then.

"He just didn't want to stay in Qingcheng Mountain anymore, so he insisted on going down the mountain."

Ye Hua avoided Bai Ze's direct gaze and answered in a casual manner.

"If you don't want to talk, then I won't ask. I think you passed out from exhaustion. You must be hungry now. I'll get you something to eat."

Bai Ze was so excited that he looked back every three steps and ran out of the wooden house.

Ye Hua, who was pretending to be relaxed, suddenly lost his temper, and the sorrow and resentment that could not be hidden in his phoenix eyes came out.

But after Bai Ze came in again, she pretended to be calm and returned to her usual reckless attitude.

"Is this your lair?"

"No, this is where I transformed into a human form. Actually, my name is Xuzhi, and Bai Ze is just the collective name for our tribe."

Bai Ze naturally scooped up a spoonful of Tremella and Lotus Seed Soup and brought it to Ye Hua's mouth, answering her questions calmly.

"Your place is quite special. It feels like there is abundant spiritual energy, and the climate is just right, like spring all year round. It makes people feel warm."

After Ye Hua finished speaking, he opened his mouth and ate the soup without any hesitation.

"I also like the climate on this island. It makes people feel free from the pain of the scorching summer and the freezing winter. If you like it, you can stay here for a few more days..."

Speaking of staying here, Xuzhi's hand holding the soup spoon couldn't help but tighten, and he looked at Yehua eagerly, afraid that she would not agree.

"Okay, then stay for a few more days. This place is perfect for cultivation."

Ye Hua glanced at the uneasy Xu Zhi after he finished speaking, then stretched out his hand and continued, "You're scooping too slowly, I'll eat it myself!"

Xu Zhi saw Ye Hua licking her lips out of greed, swallowing several times unconsciously, and then lowered her head shyly and handed the bowl of Tremella and Lotus Seed Soup to her.

"If it's not enough, there's more in the pot. You can eat first."

"Well, I'm afraid it won't be enough for me."

Ye Hua took the bowl, picked it up and put it to his mouth. With a few gurgling sounds, the white fungus and lotus seed soup in the bowl was almost gone.

"Please give me another bowl."

Ye Hua handed the bowl to Xu Zhi, tilted his head and smiled at him with satisfaction, which made him take the bowl immediately and happily get another bowl.

This made Hua Ye in his sea of ​​consciousness very angry...

"You're not such a lackey in front of me. You just do whatever I tell you to do. Where's your aloofness?"

"Here, eat slowly. No one will snatch it from you."

Xuzhi placed the bowl in Yehua's hand and smiled indulgently.

This made Ye Hua, who was obsessed with beauty, so fascinated that he almost drooled.

Fortunately, Ye Hua had seen his face thousands of times, otherwise he would not be able to resist touching him.

"I know. Go ahead and do your thing. I need to regulate my internal energy after eating."

Ye Hua calmed down and quickly took his hand away from the bowl.

"Okay, I'll watch over you outside the house."

Xuzhi walked out of the wooden house reluctantly, sat upright on the stone pier under the sycamore tree in front of the house, and closed his eyes to rest.

Ye Hua was just about to finish her breathing control gesture when a woman suddenly appeared and grabbed her wrist, pulling her up from the bed.

"You are the woman that Xu Fu rescued. I heard that you and His Highness are old acquaintances?"

Ye Hua looked up at the woman unhappily: "Yes, is there a problem?"

The familiar face of the woman made Hua Ye so excited in his sea of ​​consciousness that he screamed.

"Sister Wutong, Sister Wutong, it's so nice to see you again. I miss your cooking so much..."

Hua Ye smacked his lips unconsciously and swallowed several times.

"That's a problem. His Highness actually let you stay in his guesthouse and sleep on his bed. Is that kind of relationship between you two?"

Wutong questioned with his whole face red.

"what relationship?"

Ye Hua asked back.

"That's right... that kind of relationship between a man and a woman."

Wutong first lowered his head slightly and spoke awkwardly, then roared out.

"The relationship between us is innocent. You can rest assured. He is my sworn brother, and I have no improper thoughts about him."

Seeing that she was getting anxious, Ye Hua kept explaining and almost swearing.

Xu Zhi, who rushed in upon hearing the noise, froze at the door when he heard Ye Hua say that he had no improper thoughts about him, and was reluctant to step over the threshold.

"Really?"

"It's true, more real than pearls. Miss, could you please let go of my hand? It's squeezing me so hard."

Ye Hua angrily shook off the hand she was holding and pursed his lips: "How about I swear again?"

"That's enough! Wutong, when did you become so disrespectful and dare to trespass into my guesthouse without being summoned?"

Xuzhi then walked in and shouted harshly.

Wutong immediately and honestly loosened Yehua's wrist and knelt down on the ground.

"I know my crime, and I hope Your Highness will punish me!"

This kneeling scared Ye Hua so much that he jumped from the ground to the bed.

"Young man, when did you have a maid? She even asks about your private affairs. It seems that the relationship between you two is not ordinary!"

Ye Hua squinted his eyes and looked at him jokingly, then jumped off the bed and put on his boots.

"Wutong, get up quickly. I never keep anyone to serve me. From now on, you are my disciple. You must never call yourself a slave again."

Xu Zhi was so anxious that he was sweating profusely, especially when he met Ye Hua's almond-shaped eyes, he felt extremely guilty, fearing that Ye Hua had misunderstood something.

But Wutong, who was kneeling on the ground, buried his head even lower, and his fearful look did not seem fake.

"Get up, this is just a small matter. My brother won't offend you."

Ye Hua quickly stretched out his hands to pull her up, but her knees were still kneeling on the ground without moving.

"Forget it, Bai Ze, you can handle it yourself. I'm going to go out and get some fresh air."

Ye Hua let go of his hand and walked out of the wooden house quickly.

"Wutong, you've become even more unruly due to the pampering of that brat Xufu. Let's end today's matter here. I don't want there to be a next time. Please leave!"

When Xu Zhi saw Ye Hua leave, his warm face suddenly turned cold.

Wutong felt the temperature in the wooden house dropping rapidly, and only then did he truly understand: Ye Hua was his Highness's bottom line.

"Wutong, take your leave!"

Ye Hua, who wanted to watch a show, was attracted by the lush scenery and the colorful butterflies dancing among the flowers.

She lightly stood on tiptoe, spread her arms, and flew into the flowers.

As soon as Wutong left, Xuzhi quickly caught up with Yehua and flew out.

At this time, Ye Hua was sitting on the grass next to the flowers in a daze, with empty eyes and wandering thoughts. Even Xu Zhi sat down quietly beside her without noticing him.

"What are you thinking?"

"Yehua, what are you thinking about?"

Xu Zhi asked softly twice, but Ye Hua still didn't respond.

It was not until Xuzhi stretched out his hand and placed it on her shoulder that she jumped away as if she had been electrocuted. She switched to alert mode in a second and looked at Xuzhi beside her with sharp eyes, scaring him so much that his hand was frozen in mid-air and he did not let go for a long time.

When Ye Hua saw Qing Xuzhi's embarrassed face, his sharp eyes gradually subsided.

"Why did you suddenly appear and scare me?" Ye Hua smiled awkwardly.

"I, I, I... I've been sitting here for a long time and asked you twice. I saw you didn't answer me, so I reached out and patted you."

Xuzhi explained aggrievedly, like a wounded puppy seeking comfort.

Ye Hua unexpectedly reached out his hand and patted his shoulder to comfort him.

"I was just too engrossed in my thoughts and didn't react immediately."

"Just don't blame me!"

Xuzhi nodded flattered, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

Seeing that he was happy, Ye Hua turned around and muttered to himself.

"I wonder how Zhu Jiuyin is doing?"

The corners of Xuzhi's mouth that were raised suddenly fell down, and the slight complacency in his eyes was replaced by full of loss.

But he still controlled his emotions and responded to Ye Hua's concerns.

"He's fine, but he never came down from the snowy mountains again."

"That's good!"

After Ye Hua finished speaking, she wrapped her arms around her arched legs and buried her face in her knees.

He then released his immortal power to wrap himself up and absorb the endless spiritual power on the immortal island.

Xuzhi sat quietly by the side, watching Yehua absorb spiritual power.

Suddenly, the sky darkened and faint flashes of lightning could be heard among the dark clouds.

Xuzhi was shocked. This astronomical phenomenon indicated that a powerful force was approaching Penglai Island.

After a while, a huge warship broke through the clouds and appeared above the fairy island.

A stern man stood at the bow, his eyes fixed on Ye Hua, "Ye Hua, come back with me."

It turns out that he is from Qingcheng Mountain.

Ye Hua slowly stood up and said, "I won't go back."

Xu Zhi also stood in front of Ye Hua, looking at the people on the warship vigilantly.

The man snorted coldly, "Then don't blame me for being rude." Then he waved his hand to signal his men to attack.

Xuzhi started a fierce battle with the opponent, and for a while, the magical lights on the fairy island intersected.

However, the other side had a large number of people, and Xuzhi gradually fell into a disadvantage.

At the critical moment, a dark shadow flashed by...
