The Year of Lihua: She Was Reborn

They had just sat down around the log dining table and hadn't even settled down yet!

Hua Ye looked like he had been hungry for several days. He couldn't wait to reach out and grab the turkey, and pulled off one of its legs.

Then he stuffed it into his mouth like a wild beast and started biting it madly.

Just as Hua Ye was enjoying his meal, suddenly, a slight noise came from the eaves above Xu Mansion.

Everyone looked up toward the door of the hall, only to see the moonlight like water, sprinkling on the eaves, and vaguely see a few dark shadows standing there.

Before Hua Ye could pull the chicken leg out of his mouth, those black shadows flew down from the eaves like ghosts and headed straight for the door of the inner courtyard hall.

At this critical moment, Xu Zhi was quick-witted and swift-handed. He waved his arm and a flash of white light appeared...

I don't know where he got a huge piece of white cloth from, but like a magic trick, he covered all the dishes on the table tightly.

In the blink of an eye, the dust falling from the beams fell straight onto the dining table like raindrops.

If Xuzhi hadn't reacted quickly, all the delicious food on the table would have been ruined by dust.

Seeing this, Hua Ye hurriedly held the chicken leg tightly in his arms, fearing that it would be dirty by dust.

While blowing the dust off the chicken legs, she glared at the uninvited guests angrily and kept cursing.

After cursing, Hua Ye didn't care about anything else. With a chicken leg in his mouth, he rushed out of the hall door like a gust of wind.

The oncoming dark shadows instantly retreated back onto the roof.

She stood in the open space outside the yard, holding a chicken leg, and cursed at the people who were still on the roof.

"Damn it, can you please let me have a good meal? Where did you come from?"

Xuzhi also appeared in the courtyard with her, and Mojie followed closely behind.

Wutong pulled Xufu and Ye Hua and walked out slowly, observing the movements around them from time to time.

When the people on the roof saw that Hua Ye was safe and sound, they shouted.

"Miss Hua, since you have returned safely and soundly, my brother and I will not bother you any further!"

"Brother Zuo, you've mobilized so many troops just to see if I've returned. You're really overestimating me. I'm afraid you're here for the person behind me, right?"

Hua Ye stuffed his mouth with meat one bite after another, and his words were a little unclear.

Zuo Nian, who was standing next to Zuo Yun, couldn't help but jump down from the eaves, and stood in front of Hua Ye and asked with concern.

"Are you injured?"

"No, they can't hurt me!"

Hua Ye glanced at Mo Jie and answered confidently.

Xuzhi's eyes suddenly lit up, and he looked at Zuo Nian with full hostility.

The look in his eyes was different from the one he gave Mo Jie, as if Zuo Nian was his love rival.

Mojie kept looking at Zuo Nian and carefully observing Hua Ye's every move in response.

Zuo Nian stretched out his hand, but under Xu Zhi's cold light, he could only retract it.

"I heard from my fellow disciples that you encountered a ten-thousand-year-old fox demon and another unfathomable monster whose true form could not be determined. Are you really not hurt at all?"

Hua Ye felt two malicious gazes coming from behind her. She raised her hand and gently pulled Zuo Nian's arm, pulling him to the other side and started talking as if no one else was around.

"No, if I were injured, would I still be able to stand in front of you? Don't be nervous, I'm fine..."

"How can I not be nervous? You've been missing for over a month..."

"Have I been missing for so long? You didn't tell my parents, did you? Otherwise, they would be worried again?"

"I didn't say anything. I was afraid you would blame me for being nosy."

"It's good that you didn't say anything. I was most afraid that my mother would cry. Look, I'm fine now, so I won't let them worry for nothing."

······

The people on the roof glanced at Mojie standing in the yard, and then disappeared into the darkness under Zuo Yun's command.

Zuo Yun didn't want to disturb them because he saw they were talking happily, but Xu Zhi's warning look made him unable to fly down.

"I don't know who is so jealous, it's so sour!"

Mo Jie teased the uneasy Xu Zhi, "It seems he poses a greater threat to you than I do. I'm afraid he has a close relationship with Hua Ye."

"When did you become so talkative?"

Xu Zhi waved his long sleeves, clasped his hands behind his back, and restrained his urge to rush forward.

"Isn't this me who you sealed away in the Sunset Forest for tens of thousands of years, never speaking a word to anyone? Now that I'm out, you won't let me speak freely. You're really..."

Before Mojie finished teasing, Xuzhi had already rushed to Hua Ye and put his big hands around her waist.

"You haven't finished yet?"

Hearing Xu Zhi's cold words, Hua Ye actually showed great displeasure, no longer as submissive as before.

"I finally got to talk to him for a few more words, why did you come out and make a fuss?"

When Zuo Nian saw Xu Zhi appear, he took the initiative to distance himself from Hua Ye and stood beside Zuo Yun.

"Since you are still busy, we will leave first without disturbing you."

"Hua Ye, let's talk next time. Although we can't be husband and wife, our friendship from childhood is still there. If there's anything I can help with, I won't refuse. Just come to me with confidence. You must know that I will always be your Brother Zuo Nian."

Zuo Nian spoke directly to Hua Ye without looking away, not at all afraid of Xu Zhi, whose face beside her was becoming increasingly darker and colder.

"Okay, Brother Zuo Nian, if you meet someone you like next time, be sure to tell me and I will prepare a generous gift for you."

Seeing this, Hua Ye could only agree and said some words to distance himself from the matter to prevent Xu Zhi from causing trouble for him again.

"it is good!"

Zuo Nian squinted his eyes and smiled, but some sadness still showed in his eyes.

Hua Ye also responded with a smile, his eyes curved and twinkling like crescent moons.

Zuo Yun looked at the sincere smile between the two and knew: he had finally let her go!

"Then Miss Hua, we'll go ahead, you guys get busy!"

After Zuo Yun finished speaking, he pulled Zuo Nian onto the roof and disappeared into the darkness.

Seeing the two of them walking away, the Magic Talent moved his body and appeared in front of Hua Ye: "I didn't expect that a wicked woman like you is quite likable."

"Haha... I'll take it as a compliment!" Hua Ye rolled his eyes at him several times.

"It seems there's no need to eat this meal. I'd better get some sleep first."

She threw the remaining bones in her hand, and they landed accurately and silently in the dog bowl of Old Huang, who was guarding the gate. She clapped her hands, broke free from Xuzhi's hands, and disappeared on the spot.

Xuzhi looked at his empty hands and shook them away somewhat awkwardly.

"It seems that the relationship between you two is not very deep!" Mojie said gloatingly.

"That's better than you. She doesn't even recognize you." Xu Zhi didn't forget to retort as he turned and left.

But Mo Jie, who was still standing there, was furious: "She still calls me Zhu Jiuyin, how can she deny me?"

"It seems that these two big Buddhas are under Hua Ye's control. Look at their ferocious and evil looks, they are all gone!"

With his empty belly, he leaned on the support column and stuck his head out to complain.

There were two heads following closely below his head. Wutong gave Hua Ye a thumbs up in his heart from time to time: It’s you, girl, who can deal with them.

Ye Hua, who was below, was thinking about the relationship between them, and was even searching his mind for memories of Zhu Jiuyin and Hua Ye...
