Super Soldier in the City

Chapter 1761 - 1814: Opening One’s Heart

"Because you can’t beat me anymore!" These words came from Li Yifei, and upon hearing them, the Saintess felt as if she’d been struck by lightning. She even felt a bit of anger, this anger almost making her want to slap the ’annoying’ man in front of her away with a palm strike.Her hand lifted but then fell again, ultimately not having the heart to strike him, and instead transformed into a heavy hmph, pouting as she said, "Some people can’t even take care of themselves now, let alone me. Even a few years old child, you can’t handle them now!"

Li Yifei, instead, chuckled, tightly gripping the Saintess’s hand without letting go. After sufficiently laughing, he said, "Right now, this is a special situation, and I’m talking about after I recover."

"Do you think I really don’t dare to kill you?" The Saintess raised her brows, feeling that what Li Yifei just said was provoking her strength.

"No, it’s not about dare or don’t dare," Li Yifei shook his head.

The Saintess’s expression eased somewhat, but soon she heard Li Yifei say, "It’s about can or can’t."

"I’ll kill you right now!" The Saintess said with anger in her voice.

Li Yifei still shook his head, looking at the Saintess, his black eyes having an insight into human nature, which made the Saintess’s heart tremble slightly. She answered confidently, but deep down...

Li Yifei’s fingers scratched the Saintess’s palm, which made her jerky, and Li Yifei then continued, "I’ll change the question, what do you think about how we’ve been getting along these days?"

"Not great, you can’t move," the Saintess said, somewhat petulantly.

Li Yifei grinned widely, his face full of smiles but did not laugh out loud, then lowered his voice, saying, "Actually, you can be on top too, anyway your body is good, moving for a couple of hours is definitely possible."

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Yifei was slapped in the chest by the angry Saintess, and the hand that was held was also pulled away. At the same time, the Saintess’s face was devoid of any smile, her eyes glaring at Li Yifei, saying, "This so-called important matter, is it this?"

Li Yifei licked his lips, looking at the Saintess, after a full half-minute he used a softer tone, saying, "Yan’er, don’t be angry, I was actually trying to say, we have some more days to spend together, why not choose another way to get along, every day being close but afraid of hurting each other, it’s not good for you, and it’s not good for me either."

The anger on the Saintess’s face diminished a bit; she remained silent, looking at Li Yifei.

Li Yifei continued, "These days might be the last time we spend together in this life; here’s one premise, you defeat me, kill me, if I were just alone without attachments, to fulfill you, I might let you kill me, after all, during the duel, showing a little flaw would be extremely dangerous, but if you can’t beat me, then for this lifetime you’d be my woman."

"To marry a Saintess as a wife, I’m also very happy. Moreover, I’ve found that I’ve started to like you these days, every day when I open my eyes and see you, I feel happy, even if being tormented by you, it all feels good."

"So, I still think the second outcome is better, and coincidentally, these days I’ve been thinking about some things; it seems like you really can’t beat me anymore unless you, like Satan, have a massive improvement, otherwise my strength definitely surpasses yours, and I won’t hold back. My other wives and children don’t allow me to hold back against you."

Li Yifei spoke a lot in one breath, the Saintess’s face showed a diminishing anger.

Li Yifei could only move his hands, his arms still unresponsive, and the Saintess’s hand was about ten centimeters away from him, Li Yifei thought of a solution, he used his fingers to claw forward, propelling his arm forward, finally grasping the Saintess’s hand again.

Li Yifei showed a victorious smile, saying, "Yanzi, I’ve said so much, actually I want to say, let’s just get along these days as usual, you want to kiss me, then kiss me, whatever you want to do, just do it, and for me too, don’t restrain or suppress our emotions, so that in the future when we think of this time, we won’t feel regret!"

The Saintess seemed persuaded, her expression changed several times, then she sighed, reversing her hand to hold Li Yifei’s hand, saying, "Yifei, you’re actually not wrong, I really can’t beat you anymore!"

Li Yifei’s eyes became fixed, the Saintess directly admitted it, making him feel somewhat surprised.

The Saintess continued, "I didn’t have this thought before; back then, you were definitely not stronger than me, but after seeing your earth-shattering battle with Satan, I suddenly realized you’ve improved so much, I had a hard time dealing with Satan in his first frenzy, and the second time, I basically had no chance to win, whereas you were able to defeat and kill him, it really shocked me."

"These days my emotions have been off, perhaps partly because of this reason, the position of Saintess is not for everyone; the selection process is extremely difficult, and I am the best in recent generations, the expectations from the organization are very high, thinking I could surpass past Saintesses, reaching that unknown realm, and then you know, my decision to choose the heart’s demon man, yourself... that was supposed to be a normal thing, but to reach that unknown realm, one must first have tremendous willpower and spirit, but I... underestimated the power of love and underestimated your growth speed."

Li Yifei showed a smile, continuing to listen to the Saintess.

The Saintess continued, "At that time you were heavily comatose, I wasn’t thinking of anything else, knowing your injuries were severe, I just wanted to wake you up quickly, heal you, since there were only the two of us on the island, I would take care of you anyway... I’ve only had this one man for my whole life, so I convinced myself in my heart. But after you woke up a few days later, I suddenly felt awkward, so many times my emotions would unexpectedly fluctuate, and I couldn’t tell why myself!"

"Just now, after you spoke, I suddenly realized that my fluctuations were naturally because of you, because you suddenly became so strong, I can’t defeat you anymore, at least not in the short term, if we maintain the status quo, I can’t beat you at all. And long-term... if I don’t defeat you, I’ll stagnate, but you can keep progressing, then the gap between us will widen further, and there’s no possibility of defeating you!"

Upon saying this, the Saintess revealed a hint of a helpless smile, choosing a heart’s demon was her decision, and she ended up bringing herself a huge trouble, such a powerful heart’s demon, one that in a short time made her know without fighting -- that she couldn’t beat him.

So, with Li Yifei’s recovery, the Saintess’s mood became increasingly off.
