Super Soldier in the City

Chapter 2230 - 2294: Ill-Fated Love

U.S. Virgin Islands, about eighty nautical miles from the island, Li Yifei and the Saintess sat on a yacht. It was noon, the sun was bright, and the weather was hot. Hearing the Saintess’ call, Li Yifei put down the fishing rod, walked to the side, picked up a bottle of sunblock, squeezed some into his palm, rubbed his hands together, and gently applied it on the Saintess’ delicate, fair skin.Compared to the fair skin of Huaxia women, the Saintess, as a purebred Caucasian, had even fairer skin, yet not as rough or hairy as those Caucasian women. The Saintess didn’t have much body hair, perhaps due to her training. Her skin felt great to the touch, and even smoother after applying the sunblock.

The Saintess wore a bikini, her figure fully on display. Li Yifei’s hand brushed across her abdomen, and he could clearly see the muscle lines on her stomach. He couldn’t help but praise, "I like your kind of figure."

"Do you really like it?" The Saintess squinted her eyes, pushed up the sunglasses on her face, and looked at Li Yifei, saying, "Generally, aren’t Huaxia people more fond of petite and lovely women?"

"What are you saying... I really do like your kind of figure!" After applying on her abdomen, Li Yifei’s hand moved downward. The Saintess was wearing slightly loose thong underwear, with some parts faintly visible, close at hand. Li Yifei just needed to hook a finger to reveal it all, but he restrained himself and didn’t make a move. The Saintess seemed very trusting of him, not only not avoiding him but even being quite generous.

There were only the two of them on the boat. Li Yifei had piloted the yacht here, found the water quality to be great, and noticed no other boats around. The Saintess wanted to sunbathe while Li Yifei prepared to fish for their lunch.

"Your figure is really nice, keep it up!" After finishing with the back of the Saintess, Li Yifei couldn’t help but give her buttocks a light tap, creating a soft slapping sound. The Saintess’ muscles tensed as she looked back at him with a playful blame.

Li Yifei chuckled. Just as he was about to speak, he saw the fishing rod shaking. He dashed over, grabbing the rod that was about to be dragged into the sea. With the rod in hand, after a period of wits and courage, Li Yifei managed to haul in a fish more than a meter long. Watching the big fish struggle and jump on the deck, the Saintess was somewhat surprised. She knew that Li Yifei’s hook had no bait and that the hook was just a piece of thin steel pipe he found and bent.

The fishing rod was also found in the yacht, seemingly leftover by someone previously.

"Is this even possible?" The Saintess was a bit dumbfounded. Li Yifei’s way of fishing was amazing, catching big fish with a baitless hook seemed too incredible.

Li Yifei smiled proudly, carried the fish into the cabin, and placed it in a box with several pieces of ice.

After putting away the fishing rod, Li Yifei said, "I’m almost like Jiang Taigong."

"Jiang Taigong?"

"Haven’t you heard of the saying? Jiang Taigong fishing, those who are willing will take the bait. But he used a straight hook out of the water; I use a bent hook and put it in the water," Li Yifei said.

The Saintess acknowledged with an "oh," remarked, "So that’s how it is. I still find it amazing, how does the hook catch the fish without bait?"

"I didn’t pursue you, yet you came to me, so deeply in love!" Li Yifei sat beside the Saintess, put on a pair of sunglasses, handed her the sunblock, and said, "Here, help apply it on me too."

"You need it too?" The Saintess asked.

"Why not? I’m also afraid of getting a tan. With such good skin, if I got sunburned, those sisters of yours would kill me when we get home!" Li Yifei said,

The Saintess was rendered speechless, took the sunblock, squeezed some out, and gently applied it on Li Yifei’s body. Her soft hands slid over Li Yifei’s skin, causing his muscles to tense. Ideally, he shouldn’t have been easily stirred, yet at that moment... The Saintess hadn’t applied for long when he had a physical reaction.

The Saintess naturally noticed, given that Li Yifei was wearing shorts at the time, and certain areas, once raised, were unobstructed, directly forming a tent. Judging by its size, it was larger than many Africans, so the Saintess averted her gaze.

Conversely, Li Yifei, thick-skinned as he was, didn’t react much to his own response, chuckled softly, and closed his eyes, letting the Saintess continue applying sunscreen.

The agreed battle between the two was about to begin, but neither seemed inclined to start immediately. Every time they met, the Saintess restrained her emotions, yet her inner conflict felt like a magnet, pulling her closer to Li Yifei. Positive and negative poles; one on Li Yifei, the other with the Saintess, separated by mountains and rivers, constantly reminding her to get close to him. Especially when in such close proximity, a voice urged the Saintess even closer to Li Yifei.

This contradictory inner feeling wasn’t deeply felt by Li Yifei; he just needed to defeat the Saintess. But the Saintess wished to defeat him yet didn’t have the heart to kill him. Without killing, her heart demon couldn’t be vanquished.

Having experienced such an inner conflict himself, Li Yifei understood the sensation and knew that the more the entanglement dragged on, the worse it would be for the Saintess.

From a certain perspective, the entanglement between the two was a convoluted fate, but it was also destined by the heavens.

This battle was finally about to truly start. Last time, because of the child, Li Yifei couldn’t give his best effort. After the saintess learned the truth, she was furious, but unfortunately, she didn’t hold the top position in the Holy War Organization. The elders of the Elder’s Court were the true masterminds behind the scenes. In a way, the saintess was also a puppet they put forth.

"Hungry?" Li Yifei’s voice interrupted their thoughts. The saintess opened her eyes, turned her head to look at Li Yifei, and nodded lightly, saying, "A little."

"Alright then, I’ll go see if I can catch a lobster or crab, and then cook a meal!" Li Yifei said as he sat up, looking at the sea. Not far away was an island, but it wasn’t large, just about the size of a football field. There were a few trees growing on it, and the whole island was rocky. This indicated that the nearby sea wouldn’t be too deep, so he could dive and try his luck.

The saintess nodded and stood up smoothly, saying, "Be careful, I’ll wait for you to come back!"

"Aren’t you going to give me a kiss as a reward?" Li Yifei asked before entering the water.

The saintess hesitated for a moment, but still leaned over and kissed Li Yifei on the cheek. Li Yifei wasn’t satisfied, returned the kiss, landing right on the saintess’s lips. Then, with a flash, he leaped into the water, and his figure quickly vanished below the surface.

The seawater here wasn’t too deep, but not shallow either. Li Yifei dove directly to about thirty meters before he saw the seabed. The light here was fairly bright. Li Yifei stayed underwater for about five or six minutes. When he emerged again, he held in his hand a lobster about one meter long, and in the other hand, he had a large crab. Lunch was secured.

After lunch, Li Yifei and the saintess returned to the cabin. They were both lightly dressed, and the cabin had a luxurious bedroom. After showering, they decided to take a nap together. Naturally, they lay next to each other, with Li Yifei casually wrapping his arm around the saintess’s waist and pulling her into his embrace.

"It’s fine to cuddle, but don’t do anything excessive." The saintess said with a serious expression, her body slightly stiff.

Li Yifei laughed heartily and said, "A lot of things seem excessive before they’re done, but once done, they don’t feel excessive."

"You know the boundaries, Li Yifei, some things are excessive whether done or not."

"Is cuddling you to sleep also considered excessive?" Li Yifei asked.

"It’s not excessive, but do you know what your hand is doing?" the saintess replied.

"My hand... haha, it’s involuntary, involuntary!" Li Yifei said, stopping his actions. One of his hands had already climbed onto the saintess’s curves, even gently kneading.

Though the saintess spoke harshly, she didn’t stop Li Yifei’s actions, nor did she remove his hand. Instead, she buried her head in his shoulder, and after a moment of silence, Li Yifei said, "How about trying it before the fight?"

"Try what?" The saintess immediately raised her head.

Li Yifei replied, "Of course, trying out what’s between a man and a woman."

The saintess didn’t react with embarrassment or anger; instead, she laughed and said, "Oh, can’t you think about anything else? If you really want to, then beat me in a fight. Win against me, and you can have me. Why think about it now!"

"Is it that I’m not fighting you? It’s that you haven’t prepared yourself yet!" Li Yifei replied.

The saintess was momentarily stunned, looking at Li Yifei for dozens of seconds before her body suddenly softened. She lay dejectedly on him, and after a while, she said, "Yes, it’s me who’s not ready yet. I clearly don’t have the confidence to beat you. In fact, I lost confidence a long time ago!"

"That’s not like you!" Li Yifei said.

"Hehe, who asked me to be unlucky? Out of all choices, I had to pick you, this freak. If I’d known earlier, I would have chosen someone else. Who could have thought your progress would be so fast, not seen for three days but to be treated with fresh eyes!" As the saintess spoke, she bit into Li Yifei’s shoulder fiercely. So fiercely that Li Yifei couldn’t help but hiss but he didn’t avoid it, nor did he resist with True Qi. His cultivation and strength were indeed above the saintess by a margin, something evident from the last battle. Li Yifei didn’t even need to take it too seriously,

while the saintess needed to fight with all her might. Even so, she felt she couldn’t defeat Li Yifei, giving rise to some resentment in her heart.

Past saintesses also failed at times, defeated by their inner demons, surrendering to the men who became their inner demons, or constantly battled, then were tormented to death by their demons. But this saintess felt she was possibly the unluckiest of them all. When selecting her inner demon, she was even a notch stronger than him, but soon, within less than two years, he far surpassed her.

Such a man naturally captivated her. If she were to pick her Mr. Right, the saintess also hoped to choose someone stronger than herself. But when it comes to inner demons... this means she’s almost certain not to defeat him.
