Super Soldier in the City-Chapter 1969 - 2032: Call from the Saintess
When they returned home, Chu Xiaoyao received a call from Chu Nan, saying her father had woken up and everything had returned to normal, except there was a small hole at the back of his neck. Li Yifei also said that was where the hematoma stone was expelled. Both Chu Nan’s mother and daughter were both shocked and impressed with the hematoma stone Li Yifei removed.
After Chu Nan’s father woke up, he also returned to normal. The persistent headaches he had suffered from for years were gone. He mentioned that his mind felt a lot clearer, his body was more comfortable, and even his right leg moved freely now.
Over the phone, Chu Nan repeatedly thanked Chu Xiaoyao and Li Yifei, promising that the money owed would definitely be repaid to them.
After hanging up, Chu Xiaoyao wrapped her arms around Li Yifei’s neck and said, "Honey, you worked hard today. How about a little reward from your baby tonight?"
"Sure," Li Yifei said, kissing the top of Chu Xiaoyao’s forehead and giving her a playful pat on her bottom. "Go do your thing, I’ll go check on the kids."
"Okay, okay, bye hubby, I’ll be waiting for you tonight," Chu Xiaoyao giggled as she walked into the villa. Li Yifei turned around and headed towards Song Lianyao’s house. Halfway there, his phone suddenly rang. He picked it up and saw that the call was coming from the United States.
He paused for a moment, and an image of a person flashed in his mind. Finding a chair to sit down, he answered the call. After a few seconds of silence, Li Yifei chuckled and said, "What’s wrong? Has Little Swallow not called me for so long that you’re too excited to speak?"
"Yes, I almost forgot what someone’s voice sounded like," a pleasant voice came through the phone, accompanied by a light laugh.
The image of the Holy Maiden’s charming face appeared in Li Yifei’s mind, and he even imagined the slight changes in her expression as she spoke. With a chuckle, Li Yifei said, "Well, now’s the perfect time to listen more and jog your memory."
"Oh, Li Yifei, it seems your mouth has become a lot sharper after not seeing you for a while."
"Has it? And you noticed that my sharp tongue?" Li Yifei replied.
The Holy Maiden paused for a few seconds, then playfully scolded, "You’re so annoying, you’re just taking advantage of me!"
"Your Chinese has really improved, you can even pick up on that now," Li Yifei said.
"I practice Chinese every day; it’s a part of my daily routine. Plus, those words are quite easy to understand."
Li Yifei raised an eyebrow. He understood the meaning of the Holy Maiden’s call. They had an agreement to face each other in a life-and-death battle. The Holy Maiden had no choice but to challenge him as one of the leading figures in the Holy War Organization. Li Yifei didn’t particularly want to fight her, but he had no choice as he had been selected by the Holy Maiden as her inner demon. Even if he didn’t want to fight, he had to. Of course, Li Yifei was fully prepared and had confidence in his abilities. Several life-and-death battles had elevated Li Yifei’s skills to a terrifying level.
This wasn’t Li Yifei’s opinion of himself, but what a few familiar old masters had said. For someone of Li Yifei’s age to reach such a level was no easy feat, and he still had a long way to grow. If he reached his hundreds, what kind of person would he become?
Among the new generation of young people in Huaxia, Murong Yuanqing had yet to see someone stronger than Li Yifei. Even those who could stand with him were as rare as phoenix feathers.
Knowing the purpose of the call but with the Holy Maiden not directly stating it, Li Yifei wasn’t in any hurry. After listening to her, he replied, "It seems like Little Swallow is preparing to marry into the Li family and is worried that your Chinese isn’t good enough."
"Haha, Li Yifei, it seems you’re very confident!" the Holy Maiden said.
"I wasn’t originally, but your encouragement boosts my confidence."
"Oh? I encouraged you?"
"Of course, your determination to learn Chinese is like encouraging me to marry you sooner," Li Yifei said.
The Holy Maiden’s eyebrows furrowed slightly, her fingers resting on the balcony, gazing at the moonlight outside. After a brief moment of silence, she said, "Yifei, you know why I called."
"Well, Yanzi, I only know that you missed me and couldn’t resist secretly calling," Li Yifei replied cheekily.
The Holy Maiden was speechless for a moment, her soft cheeks puffing up. Then she said, "Li Yifei, let’s have a match!"
"Li Yifei, let’s have a match," at first glance, it sounded like a friendly competition. Li Yifei chuckled and said, "Little Swallow, are you that eager to enter the Li family’s door?"
The Holy Maiden bit her teeth. Bantering with Li Yifei was unwise, as he was skilled at it. So, she said directly, "I heard your injury has healed, so as per our agreement, we need to have a match."
"Alright." Upon hearing the Holy Maiden’s emphasis, Li Yifei dropped his playful tone and said seriously, "I’m fully recovered, we can have this match."
"Alright, time and place..."
"Anytime works, as for the place..."
"I’ll decide the place, you decide the time," the Holy Maiden said.
Li Yifei nodded lightly and said, "In the next few days, let’s finish it so you can be at ease sooner and join the Li family. I’ve prepared a house for you."
The Saintess automatically ignored the latter part and said, "Where do you like, besides the United States and Huaxia."
Li Yifei scratched his head. The Saintess didn’t want to fight him in these two places, which was fine. Then they’d switch locations. Li Yifei thought for a moment and said, "Africa or Europe."
"Then Europe. At least it’s a civilized world."
"Alright."
"I’ll set the time. If you have nothing else going on, next Monday, I’ll be waiting for you in Vienna."
"Why the rush? Are you already eager to see me?" Li Yifei asked with a smile.
The Saintess neither nodded nor denied it but said, "There’s five days of preparation time. I’ll be waiting for you in Vienna."
If the battle between the two of them were to spread, it would surely be an earth-shaking battle. The Saintess represented one of the United States’ strongest combat forces, even stronger than Mig, just like the previous battle between Li Yifei and Satan, drawing attention from many world powers, and surrounding the small Fog Island tightly.
Li Yifei said, "Will there be fewer people watching our battle?"
"No, only people from my organization know about it. I’m not sure of the exact number, but definitely not more than ten!" the Saintess replied.
"That’s alright, I think just the two of us fighting is enough; too many spectators wouldn’t be good."
"I agree, so it’s settled then," the Saintess said.
Such an earth-shattering battle was set just like that. Suddenly, Li Yifei and the Saintess both fell silent, then simultaneously said, "Um... you go ahead."
"You first!" the Saintess allowed.
Li Yifei said, "Alright, I just wanted to say I hope you give it your all!"
"Haha, of course, I will give it my all. Defeating you will dispel my inner demons, and then I will reach new heights."
"Naturally, if you win, then I’ll be dead!" Li Yifei said in a not-so-good tone. The Saintess continued, "Then you better defeat me!"
"Look, you accidentally revealed your inner thoughts. You’re hoping I defeat you so I won’t die, and you can smoothly marry into the Li family and become my woman."
"Since we’ve been talking on the phone, you’ve mentioned several times about me marrying you. Li Yifei, your ambition is really not small. I’m just curious if your strength can match this ambition."
"So marrying you is considered ambition? Then this ambition is too small; I must reflect and make my ambition bigger, haha!" Li Yifei laughed.
"Alright, let’s not digress; not a single serious word from you, just taking advantage of people in various ways!" the Saintess pouted.
Li Yifei rubbed his nose, chuckled, and said, "See you in Vienna, dress a bit more beautifully then."
"What? Are you saying I’m not beautiful now?" the Saintess immediately raised her voice.
"I meant even more, as in even more beautiful than now, I didn’t say you aren’t beautiful now," Li Yifei corrected.
The Saintess exhaled, snorted, and said, "That’s more like it. If you dare say I’m ugly, I’ll beat you so badly your wife won’t recognize you."
Listening to the Saintess’s words full of the tone of a little woman, Li Yifei couldn’t help but laugh. Hearing his daughter calling him, Li Yifei answered and then said to the Saintess, "Alright, let’s leave it at that, see you in five days."
The Saintess hung up the phone first, then pursed her lips, muttering, "This bastard, still calling me ugly! I’m the Saintess of the Holy War Organization, unparalleled in both power and beauty, yet you say I’m ugly, and ask me to dress up, truly infuriating!"
After venting, the Saintess suddenly touched her cheek, found it wasn’t hot, then rolled her eyes. Fortunately, she was alone in the room, not worried that the conversation and her reaction had been overheard or seen by others.
This battle with Li Yifei must be fought. If not, she will be trapped by her inner demons for life, with her cultivation not only failing to improve but even regressing. In fact, the longer it drags on, the more her cultivation will deteriorate. The longer this continues, she might soon become just like everyone else, akin to those average masters.
This battle must be fought, the sooner the better. Even if she loses, she must fight. But of course, if she loses, the Saintess will have to... She shook her head vigorously, there’s no reason to admit defeat before battling. Li Yifei is formidable, but she’s no weakling either. With this thought, the Saintess clenched her fists to encourage herself.
A knock came at the door, the Saintess said "Come in" and saw a woman younger than the Saintess enter, carrying a tray and saying, "Saintess, the fruits you requested have arrived."
