Super Soldier in the City

Chapter 1778 - 1839: The Disappointing Worm King

It’s really nodding, Li Yifei was absolutely sure, and for a moment he was quite happy. He waved to Xiaowu, saying, "Welcome, Xiaowu!"Jiang Ningxiang also smiled at Xiaowu. Compared to Li Yifei, she could better feel the majesty emanating from Xiaowu. Even though it was just a butterfly, none of the three were ordinary people, and they all understood a truth: all things have spirit. Humans can improve themselves through cultivation, through body forging, through the spirit qi of nature to reach a transcendent height, so all things can do the same.

Buddhism emphasizes the equality of all living beings, yet life is ultimately unequal. The lower the intelligence of animals, the more difficult cultivation is. Larger animals are somewhat able to, but for insects like Xiaowu, it’s as hard as reaching the heavens. Miao People’s Worm Cultivation creates such miracles; most worms are poisonous, mutually slaughtering to advance.

After breaking through, they would develop intelligence, hence why Xiaowu nodded at Li Yifei. It might not truly understand what Li Yifei said, but it must have sensed his goodwill.

Xiaowu emerged from the cocoon, completing its evolution and becoming a true Worm King. Its abilities hadn’t manifested yet, which Li Yifei naturally did not understand. Jiang Ningxiang simply said it was strong, very strong. As for Na Yi, she wasn’t sure for now and needed to communicate with Xiaowu to understand its abilities.

So let’s communicate then, Li Yifei thought. Xiaowu followed Na Yi back to her place. Shortly afterward, Li Yifei saw Xiaowu’s first ability. As soon as it entered Na Yi’s house, the green plants and flowers suddenly seemed refreshed; many bloomed, and those that didn’t became much more vibrant.

This is quite a magical ability, the ability to make plants perceive and be willing to bloom for it.

The fragrance filled the air, also invigorating the spirit of people. Li Yifei dropped Na Yi off at home and after sitting for a while, bid goodbye to Na Yi and Xiaowu.

In the evening, Li Yifei went to Na Yi’s place again but didn’t see Xiaowu. Upon asking, he discovered Xiaowu went out searching for food. Having just evolved into a Worm King, it’s difficult and needs supplements.

Hungry and desperate, it hurriedly flew away.

"It can find its way back home, right?" Li Yifei asked somewhat unsurely.

Na Yi smiled gently, pulled Li Yifei’s hand to sit him down, poured him a cup of water, and said, "It can of course find its way, Yifei. Let me tell you about Xiaowu’s abilities. It’s quite different from the Worm Kings recorded in our tribe."

Li Yifei took the water and thanked her, becoming interested upon hearing Na Yi’s words, and said, "Alright, go ahead."

Na Yi sat beside Li Yifei, turned sideways, and said, "Its abilities are very special..."

Hmm, this was Na Yi’s second time emphasizing, making Li Yifei even more curious and turn around, leaning on the sofa, waiting for Na Yi to reveal.

"One of Xiaowu’s abilities is hallucination," Na Yi said.

Li Yifei raised an eyebrow, pondered, and said, "That’s quite normal, right? How come I remember stories saying butterflies cause hallucination too."

"Not... that kind of hallucination. Just now, I asked it to try on me and found..." Na Yi hesitated, making Li Yifei slightly anxious. He couldn’t help saying, "Is there anything you can’t tell me? How does Xiaowu hallucinate?"

A minute later, Li Yifei understood. One of Xiaowu’s abilities as a Worm King was indeed hallucination—albeit in a bizarre way. It induces sexual fantasy, making people of any gender fall into such fantasies.

Just now, Na Yi asked Xiaowu to try it on herself, and as soon as Xiaowu activated it, caught unprepared, Na Yi fell for it.

Thinking back now... Na Yi still felt incredibly shy. After being caught, images of Li Yifei not wearing clothes flashed in her mind; his strong physique intoxicated her. Although Na Yi hadn’t experienced such an encounter, she knew the happenings between Li Yifei and the other ladies these days and even heard faint sounds when passing by someone’s house.

Once caught in the fantasy, one becomes uncontrollable. Na Yi imagined Li Yifei right in front of her and gradually undressed to be with him...

Thank goodness Xiaowu only used a little of its power and withdrew, otherwise, when Li Yifei arrived, Na Yi might still be trapped in that fantasy, which would be quite embarrassing.

After understanding this ability, Li Yifei didn’t know how to comment. Saying it’s useless isn’t right—it’s quite useful for some, at least for increasing pleasure—but is this the Worm King’s ability?

Li Yifei, not knowing much about witches or worms, seemed aware that Worm Kings were extremely powerful beings. Haven’t those normal worms been troublesome enough for Li Yifei and people like Yao Lingfu?

Smacking his lips, Li Yifei asked, "Is there anything else?"

Na Yi felt Li Yifei was disappointed. Her mood also turned slightly gloomy. She shook her head and said, "Xiaowu only told me about this ability. As for other abilities... I don’t know yet."

What a sham! Li Yifei heard this and was speechless, looking at Na Yi and asked, "No other abilities, or are there others but you don’t know?"

"There should be... more!" Na Yi said uncertainly.

Upon hearing there might be more, Li Yifei stopped questioning further, wrapping his arm around Na Yi’s shoulder, pulling her closer, and said, "It doesn’t matter. Xiaowu is originally our friend, its strength doesn’t affect our friendship. But you need to restrain it, not letting it use abilities at home at will, that might cause trouble!"

After speaking, Li Yifei imagined if it happened at home, it’d be fine; the affected women could come to him. But if he wasn’t home... oh my goodness.

Na Yi quickly shook her head and said, "Xiaowu wouldn’t act recklessly. Using this ability comes with great cost, otherwise, after using it, it went eating urgently."

"Oh, this really depends on you to restrain it, take it slow. We never expected Xiaowu to do anything, we brought it home just to give it a better place," Li Yifei comforted.

Although somewhat disappointed, it wasn’t very upsetting, just adjusting his mood to recover. Na Yi’s spirit was good too—Xiaowu was her friend; strength didn’t change the friendship.

Nonetheless, a true Worm King having only such an ability? That’s somewhat unreasonable, Na Yi thought. After Li Yifei left, she took out her phone and sent a message to Yao Lingfu.
