Super Soldier in the City

Chapter 1766 - 1819: Sashar’s Warning

Another week went by, and Li Yifei was already like a normal person, though the timeline for full recovery remained uncertain. The good news was that he could now take care of himself, unlike a month ago when he needed the Saintess to ’manage’ even his trips to the bathroom. The bad news was that with Li Yifei’s recovery, the decisive battle between them drew ever closer.Of course, as long as Li Yifei continued not to recover, the battle wouldn’t happen either.

What would Li Yifei choose? He hadn’t given it much thought because, for now, he couldn’t fight even if he wanted to. After a week of training and recuperation, Li Yifei could run without falling, and his sensing of the Dantian had strengthened. He could even occasionally guide a strand of True Qi, circulating it within his body for a week slowly.

This was done secretly, temporarily unknown to the Saintess.

They had lived on the island for over a month now, and the same amount of time had passed since the earth-shattering battle with Satan. In some places around the world, the ripples of the battle were still being felt. At least Murong Yuanqing had told Li Yifei that his victory this time brought honor to the country, and some senior leaders were very pleased. Also, Huaxia seized this opportunity of Li Yifei’s victory to further deepen cooperation with certain countries.

However, this was the result of collective efforts and not solely Li Yifei’s achievement, which he was aware of. The news from Murong Yuanqing nonetheless delighted Li Yifei greatly. As a soldier, being able to contribute to his country filled him with a sense of pride.

"Defending the nation" was ingrained in Li Yifei’s bones and would remain unchanged for decades to come. But he also knew that he loved his country, not certain people in positions of power.

Upon hearing the good news, Li Yifei was in a good mood all day. In the evening, he even cooked up a feast for the Saintess. Seated across each other, they enjoyed a lavish candlelit dinner. The Saintess had a good appetite, ate a lot, and the remaining food was devoured by Li Yifei, ensuring almost no waste.

The Saintess loved watching Li Yifei eat. Although it wasn’t graceful and quite messy, she couldn’t help but like it. She felt especially happy when he wolfed down food that she had cooked.

Every time this happened, the Saintess felt like this was what living as a couple should feel like, making her very happy.

After dinner, the Saintess went to wash the dishes, while Li Yifei, like a master, sat on the sofa, sipping a cup of tea slowly. Rain was falling outside, neither too heavy nor too light. The open window let in the sound of the rain beating down.

Li Yifei was very content, picked up his phone, and checked a few messages. There were messages from his family and also from Xu Shanshan and He Fangqing. The two had arrived in Dubai, ready to settle in for a few days and begin handling matters.

Just as he was about to respond, he received a call from Sashar. The somewhat different Dubai prince warmly greeted Li Yifei and after some pleasantries, said: "Dear Golden Eagle, once again I must express my heartfelt admiration. Your two wives are truly beautiful. Of course, I am merely envious of you and have no improper thoughts at all. Also, I will have people responsible for their safety in Dubai, rest assured!"

Li Yifei chuckled and said: "Thank you, I’ll treat you to some drinks later."

"Compared to drinking, I actually yearn more for the magnificent Falco rusticolus you once mentioned. Sadly, I know that species of hawk may already be extinct!"

"That’s hard to say, but when I return, I can help you look. If found, I can gift you one." Li Yifei promised.

"That would be too grateful, haha, Dubai also welcomes you!" Sashar said happily.

Then, Sashar suddenly said: "Actually, if you were the one coming to Dubai, I would be quite comfortable, but if your two beautiful wives come to Dubai, it indeed is somewhat dangerous."

"What do you mean?"

"The last time you came to Dubai, the few terrorist groups you dealt with are now quite rampant. They’ve somehow obtained your identity and have threatened to retaliate against you. If you stay away from the Middle East region, they might not have many ways, but if you come, they might have ways, and with your wives arriving, if this news spreads, it could be a major trouble."

Li Yifei’s eyebrows immediately furrowed. He only knew there were some difficulties in Dubai, which is why he sent the experienced, capable He Fangqing to handle them and Xu Shanshan to protect her. He hadn’t expected that there were terrorists in the mix.

Dealing with terrorists cannot be measured with ordinary means. People carrying bombs rushing forward are hard to guard against.

Seeing Li Yifei silent, Sashar also put away his smile and said: "Dear Golden Eagle, I am just reminding you. There won’t be any issues on my side, but I’m just afraid others might have problems. Yeah, I can’t send too many to protect them, otherwise, it would be directly exposed."

"I understand. I have some matters here, can’t go over for the time being. If the situation is urgent there, I’ll go over as soon as I’m done here!" Li Yifei said.

Sashar said: "Alright, no problem, let’s leave it at that. Actually, you know, I could not have made this call. Making the call is just... wanting you to be grateful, haha, as friends, would doing this make me shameless?"

Li Yifei reasonably said: "It’s fine, it’s expected. As friends, this favor I owe first, and I’ll return it when the opportunity arises."

Sashar then happily hung up the phone without further chitchat about other matters.

Li Yifei hung up the phone and then called Xu Shanshan. It was already late at night there. Xu Shanshan and He Fangqing had checked into a hotel, just finished showering, tidying up, and went to bed. Xu Shanshan happened to be in a mischievous mood, she and He Fangqing each had their own bedroom. Thinking about her sister back home, Xu Shanshan’s hand slowly slid down, legs propped up, and soon she was making weak moaning sounds, the sound so enchanting. Back home, Xu Yingying was working in the office, suddenly clamped her legs together, showing a hard-to-describe expression.

Fortunately, she was in the office. If it happened in a meeting, it would have been embarrassing! Seconds later, Xu Yingying understood what happened, couldn’t help but spit, cursing ’damn girl’.

But the process lasted less than two minutes, Xu Yingying stopped feeling it because Xu Shanshan thousands of miles away heard her phone ring. She glanced to see it was Li Yifei calling. Xu Shanshan pouted, grabbed a tissue, quickly wiped her hand, then picked up the phone.

Her fingers near her face still brought a scent, Xu Shanshan tucked the phone and started walking towards the bathroom.
