Super Soldier in the City-Chapter 1987 - 1050: European Female Spies
The addition of two beauties made Li Yifei feel strange. He didn’t think he had such great charm to inexplicably attract the attention of two beauties, but, unexpectedly, it happened.
After chatting for a while, the group went to find a car, preparing to go to Salzburg.
"These two have issues." In the car, the Saint sat with Li Yifei, while the two women sat behind them, separated by two rows.
"Hmm!" Li Yifei lightly nodded and then said, "There aren’t many who would dare target you and me in this world!"
"That’s true, which is why I’m letting them follow, wanting to see what their intentions truly are!" The Saint lightly bit her teeth and said.
Li Yifei also noticed something strange about the two women. He considered himself not particularly handsome and dashing, so beauties wouldn’t naturally throw themselves at him. Yet, the two blonde beauties from the back seats approached. These two couldn’t possibly see through appearances and immediately discern Li Yifei’s unusual nature.
Upon closer observation, Li Yifei noticed something unusual about these two women. Their breathing was very long, with a slower rate than normal people’s breathing. Li Yifei’s ear twitched, hearing a faint cracking sound. He couldn’t help but glance back, seeing Basia, who greeted them with a sweet smile. Li Yifei returned the smile, his eyes scanning before turning his head back.
The cracking sound came from fingers, essentially a loud snap. Human bones often make such sounds, which is usually nothing unusual. But Li Yifei noticed Basia’s hand, resting on the seatback in front of her, the snap having come from that hand.
Strong joints, with calluses visible on the joints of her little fingers — this is somewhat normal bodily phenomena. However, one questions how a delicate beauty, whether domestic or foreign, should be very conscious of her body, especially her hands, and couldn’t possibly have such thick calluses.
Of course, it could be that Basia enjoys working out or lifting weights, making it easy for her hands to develop calluses — this is quite possible. Another possibility is that, like those martial art enthusiasts in Huaxia, Basia enjoys playing with weapons, naturally causing her hands to develop calluses over time.
Thinking of this, Li Yifei reached out to hold one of the Saint’s small hands, prompting her to immediately widen her eyes and turn to look at him, slightly surprised but not withdrawing, instead looking at him with a hint of curiosity.
Li Yifei gently squeezed, finger sliding to the Saint’s palm, lightly rubbing, feeling soft and smooth skin, the entire petite hand was very soft, fitting the definition of a delicate woman.
"Is it fun to take advantage like this?" The Saint pouted and spoke.
Li Yifei honestly nodded, saying, "Yes, it is."
"Tch."
"Haha." Li Yifei burst out laughing; it seems the Saint seldom uses weapons in daily life, so her hands, like ordinary people’s, showed no signs of calluses.
The car moved on, with the unique landscape along the way. The Saint tired, didn’t lean against the car window to sleep, but instead rested her head on Li Yifei’s shoulder, slowly dozing, while Li Yifei slightly lowered his body to accommodate her.
He wasn’t sleepy, with two little explosives behind him, Li Yifei needed to remain vigilant, despite both he and the Saint not believing anyone would dare target them.
The car arrived in Salzburg. As Austria’s fourth-largest city, the scenery here is gorgeous. Together with the Saint and two temporary blonde women hitching a ride, they rented a car, preparing to explore Salzburg. Located in Austria’s west, as the gateway to the Alps Mountains, the city architecture mainly follows Baroque style. Mozart spent most of his brief life, under thirty-six, here. Salzburg, near Germany’s border, is a Baroque architectural masterpiece of Austria. The city area isn’t vast, with many churches, perfect for a leisurely hike. The beautiful Salz River divides Salzburg into new and old towns. Unique, historic spired churches and monasteries, verdant gardens and various mesmerizing fountains make Salzburg distinctly beautiful. There are also medieval-style homes inspiring imagination, Mozart’s birthplace, the Mozart Academy, Mozart Square, and the Mozart memorial bronze statue.
Spending most of the day, the pair visited necessary spots. This season, Salzburg has its unique charm, though for the two, the scenery is merely scenery. The choice to leave Vienna for Austria’s western city was due to the upcoming war.
Li Yifei felt the Saintess’s emotions, and the Saintess could feel Li Yifei’s emotions too, which is why they came here with such a mutual understanding.
Except for... the two chatterboxes behind them, Li Yifei decided to have a showdown with these two beauties when it came time to check into a hotel in the afternoon. They might have to face the Saintess tomorrow, and Li Yifei didn’t want to be distracted or have his emotions affected by these two.
"Dear Li, is there something wrong?" When Basia suggested that they all stay at the same hotel, Li Yifei slowly shook his head, making Basia curiously ask and explain, "Rest assured, we’ll pay for our own accommodation, and besides, we can treat you to dinner and drinks. I remember there’s a saying in Huaxia that meeting is fate, so meeting in a foreign land is fate, and that’s why Ellie and I decided to treat you to dinner."
The Saintess laughed, while Li Yifei said, "It doesn’t matter who pays for dinner, but before that, shouldn’t you explain your identities?"
"Identities? Oh dear, what identities could we have? Ellie and I are members of a women’s orchestra, haven’t we told you that already, dear Li? You wouldn’t think we’re lying, would you?" Basia said with a slightly exaggerated expression.
Lying? Li Yifei nodded and said, "Isn’t it enough? Do you really want me to expose you?"
Basia and Ellie glanced at each other with looks of innocence and grievance.
Seeing the women like this, the Saintess suddenly moved. Her figure seemed to suddenly dart half a meter forward, but in the blink of an eye, she returned to her original spot, still smiling as if nothing had happened and she hadn’t moved at all. However, Basia and Ellie, who were originally standing in front of her, suddenly retreated two or three steps. Though quick in their actions, their speed was nothing compared to the Saintess’s.
The Saintess was back in place, but they had just retreated, stopping one or two seconds later, with the smile on their faces fading to a look of astonishment. Ellie’s hand even clenched and raised to her chest in a defensive posture, but after Basia’s initial shock, she quickly recovered, smiled at them, and said, "Dear Li, and beautiful lady, we mean no harm!"
"Huh, whether you mean harm or not, I don’t care, but your behavior has disgusted me!" The Saintess’s voice turned cold. Of course, she might not truly be angry, because if she were, those two women might already be down and not standing here talking.
She definitely didn’t like them; she hadn’t liked them from the start. She and Li Yifei were having a good time on the road, then suddenly these two women popped up and forced their way in; that was one thing. But to have two abnormal women added on top of that, how could the Saintess be happy?
Seeing that the Saintess seemed genuinely displeased, Basia and Ellie finally recognized the gravity of the situation, especially with a menacing Li Yifei at the side.
"Sorry, we meant no harm, we’ll be leaving now!" Basia conceded, pulling Ellie to leave.
"Stop!" How could the Saintess let them just leave like that? It was an affront to her and Li Yifei’s authority. If not clarified, this sort of thing would likely go on indefinitely.
When the Saintess spoke, Basia and Ellie, having half turned away, halted naturally. Their behavior confirmed that they knew Li Yifei and the Saintess’s identities. Therefore, Li Yifei and the Saintess directly pressed for answers.
"I haven’t been exposed on my side." After asking, Li Yifei immediately shook his head, saying, and after he finished, he paused, with a flash of hesitation in his eyes. This battle between him and the Saintess wasn’t known even by Murong Yuanqing and others, let alone anyone else. But... there was a problem at home, Li Yifei thought.
The Saintess initially wanted to say the same about her side being impossible, but she held back, considering that the Holy War Organization might not be an impenetrable fortress either.
Basia and Ellie belonged to an organization in Europe, which could be connected to the Grand Bishop in Red, Orbach. Li Yifei had met this person before; during the last Satan War, Orbach had personally visited the scene, although they had no interactions. This time, with Li Yifei and the Saintess in Vienna, Orbach somehow knew about it, leading to Basia and Ellie’s appearance. These two worked for Orbach, having multiple identities, appearing as members of a group on the surface, while secretly being espionage agents and subordinates of Orbach. Their skills weren’t weak, capable of handling three to five strong men individually, or even more.
Of course, this level of skill was still nothing in the eyes of Li Yifei and the Saintess. Europe had once been Satan’s territory, also representing the religious power of Orbach, so Li Yifei and the Saintess were, theoretically, expected to be courteous on someone else’s turf. However, Orbach’s petty tricks to test them clearly made both uncomfortable. So, Li Yifei directly warned Basia and Ellie, telling them to take the other operatives and get out of Austria, or else they’d deal with them one by one.
This was a warning from the Golden Eagle. Knowing the identities of Li Yifei and the Saintess, Basia and Ellie wouldn’t dare to say another word, and hurriedly scrambled away in panic.
