The Year of Lihua: She Was Reborn

Looking at Li Li lying on the bed with a pale face but a strong pulse, Zhu Jiuyin couldn't help but feel a little suspicious.

Zhu Jiuyin stretched out his fingers and gently placed them on Li Li's wrist to confirm his pulse again. The steady and powerful beating seemed to be the most powerful evidence.

After Zhu Jiuyin withdrew his hand, Li Li slowly opened his eyes, his eyes clear and firm.

"Are you awake? How do you feel?"

Zhu Jiuyin asked softly.

Li Li sat up and bowed slightly. "Thank you for your concern, Brother Zhu. I'm fine now. I just don't know why I'm here."

Zhu Jiuyin stared at him, trying to find a flaw in his expression, but found nothing.

"Where did that girl Yehua go?"

Li Li was about to lift the quilt and get out of bed, but Ye Hua came forward quickly and pushed him back, and covered the lifted quilt again.

"Your injuries haven't fully healed yet, why are you moving around so much? Do you think your life isn't big enough?"

"I'm fine. Master didn't use any severe torture on me. He sent someone to bring me three meals a day on time. It's just that I looked a little scary staying in that dark cave."

Li Li grabbed Ye Hua's hands that were covering the quilt and explained very seriously.

"The old man didn't torture you at all. You're indeed his favorite disciple. He really can't bear to leave you..."

Ye Hua shook off his hand and spoke sarcastically.

"Are you sure he didn't torture you? Why don't you look in the mirror and see what a horrible state you've become. How ugly has your previously beautiful face become now?"

Zhu Jiuyin and Bai Ze, who were standing aside, were speechless and rolled their eyes at each other: It's just that there are a few more whip marks on the face, and it's a little red and swollen.

"Just because my face is ruined, does that mean I, Li Li, am no longer your senior brother?" Li Li retorted aggrievedly.

"You know, since we were little, I only liked playing with you because you were pretty. Otherwise, with the way you took your anger out on me every day, I would never be able to get rid of the hatred in my heart unless I beat you to death."

As soon as these words were spoken, Zhu Jiuyin and Bai Ze, who were standing aside, couldn't help but compete with each other secretly. The two of them looked at each other and admired each other's outstanding features.

"I'll just take it as my junior sister praising my beauty."

Li Li narrowed his beautiful peach blossom eyes and smiled softly with the corners of his mouth curled up.

"Am I praising you? I'm telling you that Master, that old man, is not a good person. If it weren't for me, you would have been killed by him long ago. You're still defending him. I don't know what's going on in your head."

Ye Hua raised his fist and hit Li Li on the head several times, glaring at him with disapproval.

Li Li stretched out his arms to block several times, but his speed was much slower, and each time Ye Hua cleverly avoided the attack and hit him on the head.

Zhu Jiuyin and Bai Ze, who were standing by, didn't dare to stop them at all. They could only stand aside and watch them fight naturally.

But the envy and a hint of jealousy that could not be hidden were revealed in their eyes.

"After all, Master has raised and educated me. I cannot be disrespectful to him. After all, I am not you. Everyone can see that you are different from Master. He seems to like..."

"Shut up! If you say anything more I'll cut your mouth. Now when I think about him liking me, I feel so sick that I want to vomit..."

Ye Hua hugged Li Li and covered his open mouth. His eyes showed obvious disgust for what he was about to say, and there was also an indelible hatred in his eyes. He wished he could kill his master.

Li Li felt Ye Hua's pretending to be relaxed, and his body, trembling with anger, shut up obediently.

"Junior Sister, if you keep covering me like this, I'm really going to die."

Li Li looked up at her. Her almond-shaped eyes were not only bloodshot with dark circles, but also extremely red and swollen, as if she hadn't had a good night's sleep for a long time. At this moment, he was so distressed that his eyes turned red.

He slowly raised his hand and covered her small hand with his big hand, then slowly pulled her hand down from his mouth and held it tightly in his hands, covering her small hand.

This intimate action made Zhu Jiuyin very anxious. He teleported to the side of the bed, grabbed Ye Hua's arm and lifted her up.

"What are you doing?"

He looked at Li Li with a reproachful look in his eyes and continued.

"I forgot to tell you, Yehua has already agreed to be with me. Don't touch her anymore, not even a finger. And you, Yehua, can you have some sense of propriety and stop throwing yourself into a man's arms all the time?"

Bai Ze, who was standing by and watching, turned even paler in shock at his words, but Li Li smiled faintly and waved his hand as if he had expected it.

Ye Hua was held in the air by him like a chicken. He pouted and retorted dissatisfiedly.

"I promised you, but you can't restrict my right to make friends."

Zhu Jiuyin released her arms, and before her feet were about to touch the ground, he put his arms around her waist and lifted her up, so that her face was facing his.

Ye Hua was immediately bewitched by Zhu Jiuyin's handsome face and stared at him intently.

"But you don't need to cling to your brother. You've never been this affectionate to me."

Bai Ze looked at the ambiguous atmosphere where their noses accidentally touched, and his legs softened unconsciously. He couldn't take a step forward, and could only ask with trembling lips.

"When did you get together?"

Ye Hua then turned around and looked at Bai Ze. His face showed loss, helplessness, and the heartache of losing his loved one.

She smiled awkwardly and stammered, "Not long..."

"I still have things to deal with her, so I'll leave first."

A gust of wind blew, and then Zhu Jiuyin picked up Ye Hua and disappeared on the spot.

Bai Ze didn't get a positive answer, so he followed them out.

Li Li looked at the complicated triangle relationship between them, shook his head helplessly, and suppressed the love for Ye Hua deep in his heart.

Just as he was about to gently lift the soft quilt and lie down comfortably, a sudden strange feeling suddenly hit him.

His heart sank slightly, as if an invisible hand was tightly gripping his heart, causing his breathing to become rapid in an instant.

Immediately afterwards, a sharp pain surged to his forehead like a tide, as if thousands of steel needles were piercing his head at the same time, causing him to almost faint from the pain.

He subconsciously stretched out his hands to hold his head, and his body rolled and twisted on the bed, trying to relieve the unbearable pain.

However, all this was in vain. Not only did the pain not ease at all, but it became even more intense.

At this moment, he wished he could shout out loud so that others would know that he was suffering such torture.

But his throat seemed to be blocked by something, and no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't make a sound.

Finally, after struggling hard against the severe pain, his eyes went dark, he completely lost consciousness, and fainted on the bed.

Time passed by quietly without me noticing, and I didn't know how much time had passed.

When he slowly opened his eyes again, what he saw was a blank look.

His eyes were empty and powerless, as if his once vibrant soul had left his body, leaving only a zombie-like shell.

Despite this, he sat up stiffly from the bed as if driven by some mysterious force, and then mechanically began to tidy up his clothes.

In a short while, he was dressed and walked out of the room with heavy steps.

After leaving the room, he began to wander around the fairy island carefully.

Every time he reached a corner, he would stop and scan the surrounding environment carefully with wide eyes.

Don't miss any clues of possible barriers or traps.

In this way, he walked slowly and cautiously throughout the entire fairy island, and after confirming that there was nothing unusual, he turned around and walked in the direction he came from.

When he returned to the simple wooden house, he was exhausted.

He silently took off his coat and fell headfirst onto the bed. Not long after, he fell into a deep, dreamless sleep.

When Li Ri woke up, Li Li seemed to have forgotten all the memories of what happened last night. At this moment, his eyes were clear and bright, and he had returned to normal.

At this moment, Ye Hua was imprisoned in Zhu Jiuyin's arms. This night was the most comforting sleep she had had since she escaped from Qingcheng Mountain. She slept until the afternoon.

After losing track of the two of them, Bai Ze returned to his bedroom and couldn't fall asleep for a long time. It was not until dawn that he slowly closed his eyes and fell asleep.

The complicated relationship between the four of them also became simple as they got along awkwardly. Before they knew it, they had been living peacefully on this fairy island for more than ten days.

The fairy island is surprisingly quiet today, and the sea around it is calm.

The salty sea breeze blew, and waves gently lapped on the beach. Penglai had returned to its usual tranquility and beauty.

Ye Hua couldn't help but sigh that such a life was really good, but the sky was blue in the last second, and was covered with dark clouds in the next second.

Suddenly, heavy rain began to fall. When the wind blew violently, huge waves surged on the sea and submerged the coastline of the fairy island.

Suddenly, a huge green wooden sword parted the dark clouds in the sky and stabbed straight towards the center of the fairy island.

The immortal power carried by the sword has the power to burn the boats and cross the river, and it is bound to break the barrier on the Penglai Fairy Island.

Everyone was shocked. Zhu Jiuyin hugged Ye Hua, who was standing on the cliff of the fairy island, with a vigilant look in his eyes.

Bai Ze also rushed out of the bedroom and looked at the Qingmu sword.

I saw a familiar rune mark faintly on the sword. It was the sword held by Master Ye Hua: the Qingmu Sword.

At this time, the barrier of the fairy island began to flicker and emit bursts of wailing.

A voice came from the horizon: "Yehua, you can't escape. Follow me back to Qingcheng Mountain to be punished."

The old man Qingyou suddenly appeared before them.

Ye Hua's heart trembled. She knew that she would be severely punished once she returned.

Zhu Jiuyin stood in front of her and said coldly, "If you want to take her away, you have to get past me first.

Bai Ze also stood aside, and although he was unwilling, he still said: "If you want to touch her, you need to see if we agree."

The master snorted coldly: "Do you think you can stop me?" Then he increased his spiritual power and injected it into the Qingmu Sword.

Just as the barrier was about to break, a mysterious force suddenly surged out from the depths of the fairy island, transforming into a curtain of light that reinforced the barrier and pushed Qingmu Jian back several feet.

As everyone was astonished, a phoenix emitting auspicious light appeared. It turned out that it had been guarding the Penglai Fairy Island and took action again in this crisis.

However, the power of the phoenix became weaker and weaker, and disappeared in the air and raindrops in an instant like a meteor.

Ye Hua looked at Qingyou's condescending and self-righteous attitude, and the anger in his heart couldn't be suppressed and burst out from his chest.

She immediately drew the soft sword from her waist, wanting to verify the extent of her training during this period and whether she had the strength to fight him.

Zhu Jiuyin wanted to stop her, but he let go and let her try. If she failed, he would protect her life even at the risk of his own life.

Ye Hua flew up with a sword in his hand, and the blade cut through the air with a whistling sound.

Seeing this, Qingyou curled up a scornful smile at the corner of his mouth, waved his hands, and a black spiritual barrier appeared in front of him.

Ye Hua's sword stabbed into the barrier, splashing sparks, but failed to break through at all.

But Ye Hua was not discouraged. She circulated the spiritual power in her body, and the sword body emitted a layer of light blue light.

She shouted loudly, poured all her strength into the sword, and stabbed at Qingyou again.

This time, the sword actually penetrated the barrier a little. Qing You frowned slightly and increased his spiritual power output.

At this moment, a strange phoenix light suddenly flashed across the sky, and the light shone on Ye Hua.

She suddenly felt a mysterious and powerful force surging into her body, and the soft sword in her hand instantly shone brightly.

Taking advantage of Qingyou's surprise, Yehua suddenly broke through the barrier and pointed the tip of the sword at Qingyou's throat.

Qingyou widened his eyes in disbelief.

He saw the shadow of her mother Qingyou on Yehua's face, and for a moment he forgot to attack, and her sword was placed on his neck.

Zhu Jiuyin breathed a sigh of relief and a relieved smile appeared on his face.

Ye Hua said coldly: "Don't underestimate anyone."

Qingyou gritted his teeth, wrapped his big hands with immortal power, gently grasped the sword body of the soft sword, and lifted up Ye Hua together and threw them out.

Ye Hua steadied his body in the air, his eyes full of stubbornness.

Zhu Jiuyin immediately flew to her side and supported her shaky body.

Qingyou was so angry that he made seals with his hands and muttered something.

In an instant, countless ice cones appeared in the sky and shot towards them.

Bai Ze waved his long sleeves, and a water curtain rose to block the ice cones.

"You bunch of ignorant guys, how dare you hinder me." Qingyou roared.

At this time, Li Li, who had been silent all the time, appeared at the edge of the battlefield.

A strange light suddenly flashed in his eyes, and he raised his hand and shot out a red light towards Zhu Jiuyin.

Zhu Jiuyin dodged sideways while holding Ye Hua, but his rhythm was disrupted by the sudden attack.

"You kid, when did you..."

Before Zhu Jiuyin could finish his words, Li Li had already approached rapidly, with a dagger emitting a dark aura in his hand.

Zhu Jiuyin and Ye Hua looked at each other and both felt that something was wrong.

Li Li seemed like a different person, and his moves were ruthless and decisive.

Zhu Jiuyin hugged Ye Hua again and spun to avoid Li Li's dagger attack.

"Li Li, who is controlling you?" Zhu Jiuyin shouted.

But Li Li turned a deaf ear and his eyes were cold and unfamiliar.

Bai Ze took the opportunity to go behind Li Li and slapped out two streams of spiritual power with his palms in an attempt to seal his actions. However, Li Li seemed to have eyes on his back and turned around and kicked Bai Ze away.

Just as Li Li attacked Zhu Jiuyin again, he was unable to dodge and was pierced by the black dagger, leaving a big hole in his body.

Li Li pulled out the dagger without mercy, and blood immediately gushed out from the arm.

Ye Yehua's face and eyes were dyed red. As her eyes turned red and blinked, the remaining power of the phoenix suddenly gathered on Yehua.

Ye Hua felt a warm energy flowing in her body. She broke free from Zhu Jiuyin's arms and went towards Li Li.

She stretched out her palm, and a soft light shot out, heading directly for Li Li's forehead.

When the light touched Li Li, his body trembled violently and the strange light in his eyes gradually dissipated.

Li Li woke up with a confused look on his face. Seeing the dagger in his hand dripping with Zhu Jiuyin's blood, he was so scared that he threw it into the sea.

"I...how could I be like this?"
