Reborn as a Hatrack in the Mystical Land-Chapter 944 - 62: It’s Actually Him

The celebration feast in Huasha City, organized by Ye Huacheng, maintained his usual ostentatious and luxurious style.

Lie Rou helped him send out nearly a thousand invitations, including the other three great clan leaders of the Moon Plane, as well as some Boundary City lords around Huasha City.

Changsun Gongyang from Four Symbols City was surprisingly listed, along with some Star Plane powerhouses who were also invited.

"These past few days, Lady Lie has been very busy, not only writing invitations for me but also serving Cangdai Goddess," Ye Huacheng invited Lie Rou to write invitations in his study, after spending a few days with Lie Rou, he became increasingly satisfied with her.

He found Lie Rou to be calm and composed, respectful and polite to everyone and everything.

Everyone in the City Lord Mansion could see that Ye Huacheng was very special to Lie Rou, yet even so, she remained the same as when she first entered the City Lord Mansion, not arrogant and maintaining a certain distance from Ye Huacheng.

This made Ye Huacheng even more fascinated.

"No need for formalities, City Lord," Lie Rou finished writing the last invitation and set down the pen, "Cangdai Goddess might have misunderstood. She thought I belonged to the City Lord Mansion. This morning, as I styled her hair, she suggested I stay by her side to serve her. I’ve already decided to leave the City Lord Mansion."

Lie Rou is not someone who puts on airs, but she is also not someone who serves others.

She stayed in the City Lord Mansion simply because she wanted to inquire about Yue Nian, but after a period, Lie Rou had no chance to meet the Sun Dragon Clan’s Sect Leader.

Cangdai Goddess was also a proud person, so Lie Rou had to be very careful to calm her.

This morning, Cangdai’s haughty demeanor and her words implied that Lie Rou was merely a nameless concubine of the City Lord Mansion, and with just a word, Ye Huacheng would gift her to Cangdai.

Lie Rou felt insulted and realized she was mistakenly thought of as Ye Huacheng’s concubine.

If Lie Rou hadn’t practiced the Nine Turtle Technique, which greatly enhanced her self-control, she might have argued with Cangdai Goddess at the time.

Lie Rou did not wish to be bullied further, so she left Cangdai with half-combed hair and stormed out.

"You want to leave? The City Lord Mansion is a place of status, why does Lady Lie suddenly wish to depart?" Ye Huacheng quickly intervened, thinking that all women loved living in the City Lord Mansion.

Women outside always try hard to gain entry into the City Lord Mansion, yet Lie Rou unexpectedly wanted to leave.

"The City Lord Mansion is wonderful, with well-provided necessities. However, I haven’t hidden from the City Lord that I came to the Moon Plane to find someone, my husband. I mentioned this earlier to the City Lord but since he’s been busy, I didn’t want to add trouble, so I planned to leave after writing the invitations for the City Lord," Lie Rou instinctively stepped back.

Ye Huacheng’s intense gaze and approaching steps made her uncomfortable.

Ye Huacheng realized why Lie Rou came; he hadn’t inquired much about her husband. Firstly, the Moon Plane is vast, searching for someone is like looking for a needle in a haystack.

Secondly, he desired Lie Rou’s beauty and her incredible mastery of the Nine Turtle Technique and hoped her husband was long deceased. That way, Lie Rou would give up, but she showed no interest in his hospitality and remained devoted to her husband.

"Lady Lie, you misunderstood, I was just busy and forgot. Here’s what I’ll do: don’t be hasty to leave, write down your husband’s appearance and name, and I’ll immediately send someone to inquire," Ye Huacheng, reluctant to let go of this tender morsel, guaranteed he would help Lie Rou find her husband.

He had already decided to send someone to superficially inquire, then inform Lie Rou that her husband was dead, making her give up, and eventually he would win her over through various means.

Convinced by his earnest tone, Lie Rou believed him somewhat.

She, skilled in ink painting and calligraphy, immediately picked up a brush to draw.

Ye Huacheng waited, sneakily glancing at the beauty while drawing, feeling his heart flutter.

"This is my husband. My painting skills are limited, so it only resembles him about seventy to eighty percent," Lie Rou laid down the brush, her eyes filled with tenderness as she gazed at the man in the painting.

She was humble. In the years since Yue Nian left, whenever she missed him, she would draw. Over time, the Yue Nian on paper was incredibly similar in appearance and aura, even newcomers could recognize him at a glance as Yue Nian.

Curious, Ye Huacheng looked over, wondering what kind of person could make such a composed woman so deeply attached. Shocked at first glance, Ye Huacheng nearly knocked over the ink stone.

His pupils widened, mouth forming an "O," thinking he saw a ghost as he pointed at the man in the painting, "He’s your husband."

"Yes, he is my husband whom I’ve been separated from for years, Yue Nian. Lord Ye, what’s this?" Lie Rou hadn’t expected Ye Huacheng’s strange reaction, becoming suspicious.

Yue Nian, the man in the picture, shared the same eyebrows and expressions as Yue Nian, his childhood friend.

Feeling a surge of disbelief, Ye Huacheng realized he had inadvertently welcomed Yue Nian’s wife to the City Lord Mansion.

"It’s nothing, I was just surprised. How did you and your husband meet?" Ye Huacheng hesitated, contemplating whether to find Yue Nian.

Lie Rou recalled and briefly narrated how she met Yue Nian on Canglong Continent, how they married and had a son and daughter, the downfall of the Duke Mansion, and how Yue siblings revitalized it.

After hearing her story, Ye Huacheng was even more stunned, knowing it was the truth.

Additionally, Yue Nian had suspected his memory was sealed.

Ye Huacheng believed the couple’s oath was genuine. Yue Nian was right; someone had indeed sealed part of his memory, likely Clan Leader Yue Potian.

Yet, knowing Lie Rou’s true identity, Ye Huacheng was conflicted.

Yue Nian had forgotten past events, and Mu Huashen’s arrival hinted the visit was about Yue Nian’s and Cangdai’s marriage.

If he facilitated the reunion of Lie Rou and Yue Nian, Qingyuan Realm and Yue Potian would not spare him.

Moreover, he was infatuated with the lady before him.

Conflicted, Ye Huacheng quickly folded the painting and smiled apologetically, promising to send someone to find Yue Nian after the feast, advising Lie Rou to stay for the celebration.

After pondering briefly, Lie Rou agreed.
