The Year of Lihua: She Was Reborn

Chapter 234 Questioning

She stretched out her hands and tremblingly touched her belly, as if wanting to feel the life that once existed there.

Her eyes were filled with despair and pain, and tears involuntarily slid from the corners of her eyes, dripping onto the cold ground, splashing teardrops.

Xu Zhi looked at Hua Ye and felt a pang of pain in his heart. He slowly reached out his hand and gently placed it on Hua Ye's shoulder, trying to comfort her.

However, Hua Ye shook his hand away forcefully, with a flash of anger in his eyes.

"Why are you doing this to me?"

Hua Ye's voice was filled with tears as she questioned Xu Zhi. Her eyes were filled with disappointment and sadness, as if she had lost all hope.

Xu Zhi lowered his head and was silent for a moment before saying, "My child is not mortal. It takes tens of thousands of years to hatch into a human form. I was afraid that your mortal body couldn't bear it, so I took it out and placed it somewhere else."

Hua Ye stared at Xu Zhi with eyes wide open in disbelief. She couldn't accept this fact, and her heart was filled with anger and grievance.

"Do you even consider me a human being? You took my child without even asking me!" Her voice was filled with strong condemnation, which moved people.

Xu Zhi raised his head and looked at Hua Ye with eyes full of guilt and helplessness. He said softly: "I just want to protect our child and don't want you to get hurt."

Hua Ye sneered, a hint of mockery flashing in her eyes. "Humph, protecting our child? Then why didn't you ask me if I was willing first?" Her voice was filled with grief and indignation, which made people feel distressed.

A silent atmosphere permeated the space between the two of them, as if the air had frozen. Hua Ye's face grew paler, his lips trembling slightly, the anger on his face never dissipating.

Her eyes revealed a firmness and determination, as if she had already made a decision.

Xu Zhi looked at Hua Ye silently, his heart full of self-blame and regret. He knew that he seemed to have made an irreparable mistake, but now it was too late.

Xu Zhi was so nervous that he put his hands behind his back and spoke calmly and gently while pretending to be calm.

"Yer, I made this decision after careful consideration. I'm afraid you won't be able to accept that your child isn't human..."

Seeing his calm and cold expression, Hua Ye was furious and broke down, scolding him: "This is my child. I can accept him no matter what he is like. I am his mother. You should ask my opinion about him, Xu Zhi, right?"

Seeing her collapse and cry out loud, tears rolling down her cheeks, she looked particularly pitiful. Xu Zhi felt anxious and said quickly: "Don't cry, I will take you to see it, okay?"

He stretched out his hand, which was so white that it was almost transparent, and tried to wipe away the tears from Hua Ye's face, but Hua Ye slapped him away fiercely.

Her scarlet eyes stared at him intently, as if she wanted to see through him, as if she would not give up unless she got a satisfactory answer this time.

"What are you waiting for? Take me to see him!" Hua Ye roared angrily, his voice full of determination and firmness.

She quickly picked up her coat from the ground and tied it up casually. Her long, shiny black hair fell to the ground like a waterfall.

Her oval-shaped face was now as gloomy as the sky before a storm, which made people feel frightened.

Those beautiful eyes also returned to the calmness and indifference they had when they were just reborn, as if they could see through everything.

Xu Zhi moved his stiff steps and said in a somewhat stiff voice: "If I want to go see the child, I must carry you with me, otherwise you can't enter that place!"

His tone revealed helplessness, but more of determination.

Hua Ye remained silent, just standing there in a daze, motionless. Her face was expressionless, neither refusing nor responding, her face still stern.

Seeing that she didn't respond, Xu Zhi stretched out his arms and gently took her into his arms. He moved very carefully, fearing that he might hurt her.

The two figures flew out quickly at an extremely fast speed, leaving a long shadow behind them.

They streaked across the sky like shooting stars and instantly disappeared into the small pond outside the yard.

There was not a ripple on the calm pool water, as if nothing had happened.

However, no one knows what kind of power is hidden under this seemingly ordinary pool of water that allows Xuzhi to hide his child here.
