Chapter 808 - 848: This Is Way Too Bizarre
Chapter 808: Chapter 848: This Is Way Too BizarreLi Yifei and the Saintess were both martial arts experts, but that didn’t mean they were impervious to rain. When the heavy rain fell, they would get drenched just like everyone else.
Additionally, there was Xu Yingying, and Li Yifei was especially unwilling to let Xu Yingying get wet. Fortunately, knowing the weather here was prone to rapid changes, and that it rained whenever it was forecasted to, Li Yifei had brought rain gear. While
"Do you really want to see?" the Holy Maiden asked, gazing at Li Yifei.
Li Yifei’s words were just a reflex, a casual remark, and when confronted by the Holy Maiden, he felt quite embarrassed and apologetically said, "It was just a joke."
"Not bad, to be able to joke. It seems your mindset has improved somewhat, hasn’t it?"
Li Yifei lowered his head to look at Xu Yingying in his arms and said, "Yes, I should be doing better. Yingying wouldn’t want to see me like this, either."
"Of course. Seeing as she was willing to take a bullet for you shows how much she loves you. She certainly wouldn’t want to see you fall into despair because of her. She’d rather see you happy and cheerful."
Li Yifei gently kissed Xu Yingying’s face and said, "But without her waking up, how can I be happy? Even if she wakes up and scolds or hits me every day, I would still be joyous."
The Holy Maiden watched Li Yifei from behind as he tenderly gazed at Xu Yingying’s face. At that moment, Li Yifei was a man deeply in love, who had set aside everything for the woman he cherished, and this stirred an indefinable feeling of affection in her.
The Holy Maiden, in order to overcome her heart demon, had already opened her heart to Li Yifei, and she harbored not a bit of wariness towards anything about him. It’s often not that a woman can’t come to like a man because he isn’t good enough, but rather because of such wariness. And once that feeling of caution is gone, it becomes all the easier to fall for someone.
The Holy Maiden, revered by countless followers of the Holy War Organization and of a naturally noble status, would not speak of ordinary men entering her eyes. She chose Li Yifei, believing only the strength of Golden Eagle could truly move her heart, but until then, although she had seen some of Li Yifei’s actions, she could only say she admired him. But now, a thread of affection had truly begun to sprout in her heart.
The Holy Maiden could feel this change very clearly. The heart demon was indescribable, but whether she was moved or not was something she could definitely sense because the moment she genuinely fell in love, her heart demon would react immediately.
A sense of danger emerged behind Li Yifei. Holding Xu Yingying, he turned sharply, watching the Holy Maiden warily.
The Holy Maiden, however, had returned to normal and gave Li Yifei a faint smile, saying, "Your devotion has touched a chord in me. I’ve begun to like you."
"Like me?" Li Yifei looked intently at the Holy Maiden. The feeling of danger, although fleeting, was something Li Yifei was sure about, and it was coming from the Holy Maiden.
"Yes, because I like you, I’ve become emotionally involved, which has triggered my heart demon, giving me the impulse to kill you," the Holy Maiden said with a smile still on her face.
Li Yifei’s face darkened as he said, "That’s rather twisted, isn’t it?"
The smile on the Holy Maiden’s face deepened as she said, "It’s exactly that twisted. When my love for you deepens to its utmost, my impulse to kill will be beyond my own control, and without being able to restrain myself, I’ll end up killing you."
Li Yifei felt a chill down his spine; what kind of situation was this? To love so deeply yet feel the urge to kill the other person—this Holy Maiden was truly a demon.
