Super Soldier in the City

Chapter 1779 - 1840: Good News and Bad News

The next day, Na Yi excitedly came to find Li Yifei. At that moment, Sir Li was playing a game with the two children. When they saw Na Yi, the two kids politely greeted her, "Mommy Na Yi," and then Li Yufei took her sister to play nearby."Good news?" Seeing Na Yi’s excited little face, Li Yifei asked while washing his hands.

Na Yi nodded vigorously. After taking a few breaths, she couldn’t wait to say, "It’s Xiaowu, it can still evolve!"

Hearing this, Li Yifei raised his eyebrows with a hint of curiosity and asked, "Isn’t Xiaowu already the Worm King? Can it still evolve?"

"Originally, I didn’t know. I didn’t read all of the records in the clan and only found out after consulting Elder Yao. Just last night, when Xiaowu came back from feeding, I asked it and was even more certain. Xiaowu has just advanced to the Worm King, so its abilities haven’t been fully shown yet, and it needs to evolve slowly. Every evolution grants it new abilities!"

With Na Yi’s explanation, Li Yifei understood, chuckled, and said, "Does it need to kill many worms to evolve again?"

Na Yi shook her head repeatedly and said, "No, no, Xiaowu is special; it doesn’t need to kill to evolve. It just needs to gradually accumulate, and once it reaches a certain level, it can evolve!"

"That’s not bad. Otherwise, I was wondering where to find those poisonous insects."

"Hehe, no need, no need. I have a feeling that after Xiaowu evolves next, it will have magical abilities, unlike this time..."

"Haha, actually, its current ability is also pretty good. Hmm, very exciting, just not for casual use," Li Yifei laughed.

Na Yi immediately thought about what happened yesterday, and her cheeks turned red. Updates are released by N0v3l.Fiɾe.net

A moment later, Li Yifei asked, "It’s good that it can evolve, but can Xiaowu survive until then?"

This place isn’t like Na Yi’s hometown, where it’s spring all year round. The winters in Mile City are still quite cold, and Li Yifei was worried that Xiaowu might be harmed by the climate.

"It won’t. With Xiaowu’s evolution this time, it can live for at least ten years, unlike ordinary butterflies which only have a lifespan of a few months."

"That’s good," Li Yifei nodded with relief, looked Na Yi over, and asked, "Have you had lunch? If not, let’s eat together."

Na Yi shook her head a bit embarrassedly and whispered, "I forgot, I was chatting with Elder Yao earlier and was just too happy."

Na Yi’s feelings were easy to understand. Although Li Yifei didn’t seem disappointed yesterday, she felt a bit down. Everyone was so looking forward to Xiaowu bringing surprises, but Xiaowu wasn’t impressive enough. Even though it became the Worm King, it was a useless one. So she was a bit unhappy yesterday, but it wasn’t anyone’s fault. The evolution of the Worm King was inherently uncertain, and becoming a Worm King was already a great achievement.

Fortunately, now she knew that Xiaowu could continue to evolve and still had a chance to become an even more powerful Worm King, which made her very happy after hearing the news.

If Xiaowu becomes powerful enough, it could help the Li family, which gave Na Yi a sense of being useful. After all, since she came to the Li family, she saw other sister-wives with many tasks to do every day. Even Chu Xiaoyao could use her skills as a hacker to help the Li family, while Na Yi could only take care of the flowers and plants, which made her feel a bit out of place.

After eating lunch with the kids, Li Yifei originally planned to go out. However, since he was home, he thought he could handle some matters instead of having his wives take care of everything. But just before leaving, he heard some news.

Li Yifei put down his phone and glanced at his wives, saying nothing, and let them attend to their own affairs. Then he returned to his room, dialed a number, and with a somewhat serious expression said, "Is it true?"

"It’s basically confirmed now," said the person on the phone.

Li Yifei’s expression remained unchanged, and he said, "Get the person under control. I’ll head over in a bit, and yes, mind the impact."

"And... what about the media?"

"The media..." Li Yifei pondered for a moment and said, "Hold off on the media. Deal with the matter first, and after that, we can think about the rest."

"Okay, head of the family, I’ll go handle it," the voice on the phone replied.

"Mm." Li Yifei hung up and exhaled a breath through his nose. This was a serious issue, hitting Li Yifei’s nerve, which is why he seemed so angry. Otherwise, with his current level of Qigong training, he wouldn’t react like this.

Directly heading out, Li Yifei found Song Lianyao, seeing her feeding the child, he sat down beside her and waited.

Song Lianyao’s face flushed slightly. Although she had fed the child in front of Li Yifei before since giving birth, she still felt somewhat embarrassed every time. Fortunately, the child was almost full, and Song Lianyao handed him over to the nanny to take away.

"Honey," Song Lianyao approached him, squatted in front of Li Yifei, held his hand, and asked, "You seem a bit upset. Did something happen?"

Li Yifei’s expression softened a bit. He helped Song Lianyao adjust her bangs and then said, "Something happened, so I came to tell you."

Song Lianyao’s expression changed slightly. Her and Li Xinyue’s positions in the Li family weren’t high. Although the Li family’s women never showed it, they always acted thoughtfully. Seeing Li Yifei so serious now, her heart trembled. She bit her lip and looked up at Li Yifei, softly saying, "Honey, if I’ve done something wrong, just tell me."

Li Yifei couldn’t help but smile at her words, cupping her face and kissing her cheek, then pulling her up to sit beside him. He stroked her smooth hair and said, "Of course, it’s not you. You’ve done very well, and the child is great too. Silly girl, you don’t need to be so cautious. Since coming here, have you ever seen anyone in our family treat things like that? Neither I nor they do that. So please, don’t be so careful every day. I want you to be happy."

Song Lianyao’s eyes warmed, but she held back the tears. She nodded vigorously and asked, "Then... what happened?"

"I said something happened, but it’s not your issue. However, it concerns our little brother-in-law," Li Yifei said.

This little brother-in-law wasn’t Song Lianyao’s brother but rather her uncle’s son. The young man was quite capable back then; Li Yifei had met him. After graduating a few years ago, he’d been promoted to Vice-president in one of the Li family companies, a position he’d just recently ascended to, and this matter involved him.
