Super Soldier in the City-Chapter 1971 - 2034: Worm Strikes Again
After taking a shower, naturally, it’s time for the main event.
"Damn!" Ten minutes later, Li Yifei suddenly cursed, clutching his chest. He was ready to make a move after having washed and tamed the two lambs, but at that moment, his heart suddenly contracted sharply, followed by a searing pain that made him feel as if his heart was about to explode. He gritted his teeth and endured until the pain subsided, then collapsed weakly to the side.
Michelle and Chu Xiaoyao were stunned. Once they reacted, they rushed over to ask Li Yifei what had happened.
"Don’t, don’t come over!" Li Yifei said weakly. He knew what was happening.
The witch parasite within him, dormant for so long, suddenly erupted without any warning, fiercely punishing Li Yifei. In the other villa, Na Yi, who was already asleep, suddenly opened her eyes and touched her chest, showing a trace of worry.
Since it’s a Synesthesia Worm, when Li Yifei is in pain, Na Yi doesn’t feel well either, just to a lesser extent. Na Yi really wanted to see how Li Yifei was doing, as his pain was entirely caused by her. Without the Synesthesia Worm, Li Yifei would not be tortured like this.
Although without the worm, she might not be with Li Yifei, if Na Yi had to choose again, she definitely wouldn’t plant the worm on Li Yifei, no matter how much she liked him.
Unfortunately, there is no regret medicine in the world, nor can time be turned back. Na Yi can only hope she can soon release Li Yifei from the torture of the witch parasite.
On the bed, the two women’s faces were filled with concern. Seeing Li Yifei like this, they understood what had happened. Chu Xiaoyao was ready to get dressed and call for help, planning to bring Xu Shanshan and Jiang Ningxiang over, as only these two people share the same experience with Li Yifei.
Meanwhile, Michelle took a tissue to wipe the sweat off Li Yifei’s forehead, but unfortunately, she couldn’t do much else.
"Xiaoyao, no need to call anyone, I’m fine, I’ll be better after a while." Li Yifei raised his hand and said, "Sister Xue’er, you don’t need to wipe, just let me lie down for a bit, it’s the witch parasite acting up."
"Alright." Chu Xiaoyao and Michelle quickly helped him lie down.
Li Yifei lay back, his head turned up. The witch parasite within him was truly unpredictable. During the first confrontation with the Japanese, it weakened, and during the second life-and-death battle against Satan, the witch parasite injured itself severely to save Li Yifei. It then remained dormant, hiding from him.
These days, the witch parasite hadn’t shown any signs, and Li Yifei had nearly forgotten it, spending day and night with the women at home. But he was careless; this time the witch parasite erupted completely, more severely than ever before, and in that moment, Li Yifei even felt like his heart was going to explode. The pain was unbearable, even for someone as strong as him.
"Whew!" After five or six minutes, Li Yifei let out a heavy breath, the biting sensation in his heart finally slowly fading, and at this point, Li Yifei felt devoid of all desires, unable to think about anything related to that.
Seeing Li Yifei’s pale face, Michelle started to cry, while Chu Xiaoyao was also tearful. When he opened his eyes, Chu Xiaoyao immediately asked, "Hubby, how are you feeling?"
"I’m fine." Li Yifei forced a smile and shook his head.
"Sob, sob, you say you’re fine, but your face is twisted with pain." Chu Xiaoyao wiped her tears forcefully.
"Unexpected, haha." Li Yifei smiled wider. His body had recovered a bit, but he couldn’t use True Qi to ease the pain caused by the witch parasite, admitting it was quite sinister.
After another ten minutes, Li Yifei was able to move on his own. When he sat up, the two women noticed that the place where he had been lying was soaked with sweat.
"I’m sorry to have worried you both. I’m fine now; it’s just the witch parasite acting up suddenly!" Li Yifei comforted them, holding their hands.
"Hubby, as long as you’re fine." Michelle bit her lip and said, wanting to throw herself at him but stopped, remembering his troublesome witch parasite had acted up again, afraid to trigger it further.
"As long as I don’t think about it, I’m fine." Li Yifei said, shaking his head. "Shame we can’t get rewards tonight."
"You bad husband, at a time like this, you’re still thinking about rewards. Don’t sit up, lie down and rest for a while. Then, I’ll have Sister Xue’er help you to the bedroom next door, while I go to the downstairs bedroom."
"No need, we can sleep together. It’s not that bad, I feel like it was giving me a warning just now, hitting me so hard." Li Yifei said.
The warning was indeed harsh, causing considerable harm to Li Yifei. By the time it was past three in the night, Li Yifei brought the two worried women to the neighboring room. Lying in bed, with Li Yifei in the middle, the two women didn’t dare come close, afraid of harming him. Yet, Li Yifei was reluctant to sleep peacefully, always wanting to reach out with his big hands.
"Honey, shall we go to sleep?" Michelle was so sleepy; she had rarely stayed up this late without sleeping. Coupled with the earlier fright and worry, her overall mental state wasn’t great.
Chu Xiaoyao was awake, but she didn’t dare let Li Yifei touch her. In the end, unable to resist Li Yifei, she lay on the edge of the bed, turned to her side, and reached out a small hand to hold Li Yifei’s hand.
"Sleep well, darlings. Goodnight," Li Yifei said.
Chu Xiaoyao nodded vigorously, her bright black eyes still watching Li Yifei. On the other side, Michelle’s actions were similar to Li Yifei’s, but she was truly exhausted, and soon enough, she was lightly snoring.
After a while, when Chu Xiaoyao hadn’t fallen asleep, Li Yifei softly asked, "Why aren’t you asleep?"
"I want to see you fall asleep first," Chu Xiaoyao stubbornly replied.
Li Yifei chuckled, reached out to pull her closer, and said, "Move in a bit, don’t fall off and hurt your butt while you sleep. I’m fine; as long as I pay attention now that the Worm is back, you don’t need to worry too much."
Chu Xiaoyao lay with her face on the bed, nodded slightly at his words, and whispered, "Honey, you sleep first. I’ll sleep after watching you fall asleep. Anyway, I often stay up late, and I’m not very sleepy now."
"Alright, then goodnight, honey!"
"Goodnight, my husband."
Early the next morning, the women of the Li family received bad news that the Worm inside Li Yifei had resurrected again. This was definitely considered bad news, super bad news, for the Li family; almost all the women who knew were not calm about it, as it concerned their happiness and well-being.
But since they had experienced it once before, after a brief panic and disappointment, they calmly accepted it and even began to comfort Li Yifei instead.
Ye Yunzhu was glad she had forced herself to eat well the day before and felt she could hold on for a while longer. The mothers with young or unborn children mentioned that they couldn’t partake anyway, so it didn’t matter to them. But that was in their hearts; only Xu Yingying smiled and told Li Yifei. At that time, Li Yifei was smoking, leaning drowsily at the door, and he didn’t react much upon hearing this, as if his mind was elsewhere, eventually saying, "True, stay united."
"Alright, don’t be unhappy. It’s not that big of a deal. Haven’t you given us plenty of toys? This time, I’ll tell everyone that if it gets too unbearable, we should just use the toys for a while," Xu Yingying coaxed.
"What a ridiculous idea!" Li Yifei rolled his eyes. As long as he remained unemotional, the backlash from the Worm wasn’t severe. Once emotions stirred, the Worm wouldn’t be polite. Actually, early that morning, Li Yifei tried again secretly, aiming at the two wives who were sleeping soundly like piglets beside him. Unfortunately, as soon as he mustered a bit of thought, his heart ached slightly, making him stop immediately.
This time, the Worm seemed to be asserting its power, severely punishing Li Yifei for any slight movement. It seemed deliberate, as if angry for rescuing him earlier during a dangerous situation.
Li Yifei couldn’t figure it out, but the Worm seemed almost alive, making him scratch his head. A living thing residing in his body that he couldn’t remove... Sighing lightly, he extinguished his cigarette, looked at Xu Yingying’s still-flat belly, and said, "A few months from now, this will be big, honey."
"Of course!" Xu Yingying said proudly, stroking her belly, her eyes full of affection.
"Alright, you all don’t worry either. I’ll think of a way to see if the Worm can be calmed down."
"What way?" Xu Yingying raised her head, frowning.
Li Yifei chuckled and said, "I just agreed to have a fight with the Saintess yesterday, so..."
"What?" Before Li Yifei finished, Xu Yingying interrupted, her eyes widened with a hint of panic, and asked, "You’re going to have a fight with the Saintess?"
Li Yifei reined in his smile and said, "Yes, I have to fight."
"Heavens!" Xu Yingying couldn’t help but panic. The thought of the Saintess’s profound skills made her uneasy. Besides, this fight for Li Yifei was a Life-and-Death Battle; the Saintess considered him a heart demon—this was known to all the women in the Li family. What’s more, if Li Yifei lost, it meant he would be killed by the Saintess.
"Silly wife, I wouldn’t have agreed if I wasn’t confident. You don’t need to worry so much." Li Yifei placed his hand gently on Xu Yingying’s belly, comforting her.
"But..." Xu Yingying’s eyes were complex as she said, "But it’s still a Life-and-Death Battle. A slight mistake, and we won’t have a husband anymore."
