Super Soldier in the City

Chapter 1760 - 1813: You Can’t Beat Me Anymore

Time flew by another week, and Li Yifei’s body started to show some changes. His hands and feet could move, wrists and ankles could rotate, and he could feel the presence of muscles in some parts of his body, such as his buttocks. When the Saintess was wiping his body, Li Yifei would have some physical reactions.This was positive, proving that Li Yifei’s guess was correct. His condition was mainly due to the severe exhaustion of his body; the Innate Vital Energy of the Kunlun Stone Wall and the aura of the Worm had been impacting his body for so long that Li Yifei was left extremely weakened.

Thus, it would require a considerable amount of time to recuperate to recover, so he couldn’t rush.

Over the past week, Li Yifei and the Saintess had quite enjoyable days together, with daily banter and laughter, it wasn’t boring at all.

Such days were hard to come by. As Li Yifei gradually recovered day by day, every day passed meant he was getting slightly better. And when he’s fully recovered, it will be time for the two to confront each other.ic, it seemed intentional, but upon hearing it, the Saintess’s heart trembled. She averted her gaze, looking at Li Yifei, seeing his serious face, not like the playful expression he wore earlier.

The Saintess’s lips moved but she said nothing.

Li Yifei’s eyes shone brightly at the Saintess, and with just a glance, she found it hard to look away. In those dark eyes seemed to be an entire world, making it difficult to tear her gaze away.

After a few seconds, Li Yifei finally spoke, "In truth, I’ve wanted to talk to you for days, but haven’t found the right opportunity. Now that I’m getting better day by day, I think it’s best to say it promptly."

Upon hearing Li Yifei speak like this, the Saintess guessed some things, sitting up straighter, she gently nodded, "Alright, go ahead and say."

"We..." As Li Yifei started to speak, the Saintess’s heart hung on edge, fearing that Li Yifei would say something heartless, much like when they first met where the Saintess eagerly wanted Li Yifei to like her, and also wanted to like him, but back then Li Yifei was quite indifferent.

At that time, the Saintess didn’t care, but now she had no choice but to care, because the timing was different.

Li Yifei did not speak harsh words, he simply said, "Will you continue like this every day?"

"What... like this?" The Saintess asked in return.

"For instance, clearly, I’m holding your hand, you’re happy, but you go out of your way to say something else. So I ask, do you intend to keep doing this?"

"How could I be happy, I’m not happy at all!" The Saintess quickly argued.

But Li Yifei chuckled and said, "Let’s not rush to deny, it’s just you and me here, no one else will hear. Allow me to be candid, your care these days has made me very grateful. Similarly, being with you during these days has made me extremely, extremely happy."

The Saintess lowered her head, refusing to look into Li Yifei’s captivating eyes. She had only read in books about women’s mesmerizing eyes but never imagined that a man’s eyes could be equally enthralling.

Seeing her silent, Li Yifei continued, "Actually, I sense your happiness too. When you made food and I ate heartily, you were happy. When you brought something interesting to show me and I laughed, you were happy. When you shared something with me and I enjoyed it, you were happy."

"So, this feeling is indeed wonderful, at least from my perspective, it’s great! These days, you’ve been less of a Saintess and more of a woman."

The Saintess was caught off guard by Li Yifei’s words, especially the last one. Being a Saintess had many considerations; a constant face of responsibility. But during these days with Li Yifei, her demeanor was different without the air of a Saintess.

"I am the fate-bound man for you, and you are my destiny-bound woman; and yet there lies a cruel battle between us, it’s truly heartbreaking. I won’t be able to lay a hand on you, because, I’ve already fallen in love with you!" Li Yifei spoke at a neither fast nor slow pace, filled with passion. The Saintess’s heart trembled slightly, seemingly drawn by Li Yifei’s words.

However... the Saintess rapidly shook her head, with a hint of fury on her face, she said, "Don’t use the word ’love’; the battle between us must occur, it’s my mission, unchangeable. You say you love me now, are you trying to affect my mindset? Are you worried you can’t defeat me and be killed by me, and then all your women will become widows..."

The Saintess’s response was intense, unexpected by Li Yifei, but he tightly gripped the Saintess’s hand, conveying his stance. After the Saintess finished, he firmly stated, "No, I’m not worried about losing to you. On the contrary, it’s for you! My growth has been so rapid, far more powerful than a year ago. This growth has surpassed your rate, so the one who should be worried isn’t me, it’s you!"

"Because as of now, you can’t defeat me!" Li Yifei’s final words left the Saintess stunned.

She widened her eyes at Li Yifei, her lips quivering slightly, her gaze carrying a touch of surprise.

But Li Yifei remained calm, looking at the Saintess. He wasn’t worried she’d suddenly lose her temper; saying these words, Li Yifei just wanted to express them, to pierce through the unspoken barrier between them, a decision he had pondered for days.
