"That’s quite a bold statement!" Li Yifei took two steps back, looked up, and saw a strand of black hair. The woman had her back to him, and he heard a man’s voice responding, followed by soft footsteps. As the footsteps grew distant, the woman exhaled, turned around, and tried to take a deep breath to adjust her mindset. Just as she finished inhaling, before she could exhale, she felt something off below. So she looked down and saw a short-haired, scruffy-bearded yet not unappealing Li Yifei, still shirtless and looking quite shabby, as if he couldn’t afford clothes.

The woman’s breath caught instantly, and there was a hint of panic in her eyes, as if she was afraid Li Yifei would see her less-than-beautiful side.

The two of them looked at each other. Li Yifei thought from this angle, the woman’s chest was quite impressive, and even without makeup, she looked pretty good. This wasn’t just because he hadn’t seen a woman in a while; she was objectively beautiful, though maybe not quite on par with his wives at home.

"I’m here to deliver fish; caught a big lobster today!" Li Yifei broke the awkward silence because the woman’s expression had clearly changed several times, sometimes happy, sometimes sad, a bit inexplicable.

"I know!" The woman’s expression suddenly disappeared entirely, even a bit cold, and her eyes, though looking at Li Yifei, were very calm!

Li Yifei nodded and said, "Caught more fish than usual today!"

"A lot?"

"Twice as much!"

The woman nodded again, looking into the distance without speaking. Li Yifei, tired from looking up all the time, slowly lowered his head, thinking the view from this angle was quite nice, but if she wore a dress, especially a loose one, it would be even better.

Of course, this was just a thought; Li Yifei wouldn’t actually be so lecherous.

"So you’re not planning to pay me for the fish?" Li Yifei asked after a moment of silence.

The woman moved her head slightly, frowned at Li Yifei, as if she thought he was ruining the mood, very annoying.

Li Yifei shrugged, indicating it was a reasonable question.

"Wait for me, I’ll come downstairs in a bit!" the woman said.

Quite bossy. Li Yifei twisted his head and turned back, entering a nearby small villa where he saw the chubby chef. When the chef saw Li Yifei, he said, "Didn’t I tell you to stay put!"

"You were gone for so long, I came to find you!" Li Yifei said.

"Why look for me? I suddenly had to rush to the bathroom with diarrhea!" the chubby chef said.

Li Yifei rolled his eyes, thinking no wonder there’s a foul smell.

"Miss will come to settle the bill with you later. Looking for me won’t help, just wait. I’ll go clean the fish; there are a few good ones to make something nice for Miss later!" The chubby chef muttered as he went into the kitchen.

Ten minutes later, the woman entered the villa. Li Yifei noticed she’d changed clothes, put on some light makeup, and combed her hair, making it look smoother. Today’s style was different from yesterday’s, more feminine, while yesterday, she had been a bit of a cool girl.

Li Yifei looked her up and down, saying, "Very pretty!"

The chubby chef had just walked out, humming a tune, and hearing Li Yifei’s words, he instinctively turned his head to ask what was pretty. He almost dropped the knife in his hand when he saw the lady standing opposite.

Damn, this kid dared to flirt with Miss, did he have the guts of a bear or a leopard? Miss’s identity, who would dare speak disrespectfully to her!

"Thank you!" The woman smiled slightly, replying to Li Yifei.

The chubby chef, who had just tightened his grip on the knife, almost dropped it again. Well, Miss wasn’t even angry; this really was... He figured it was best to disappear quickly, so he turned and ran back to the kitchen.

Chen Junxiao stood up and said to the woman, "Sis, you look really pretty!"

"You’ll be one day too!" the woman replied.

Pay up, paying is for real. I don’t want to play any guessing games with you. Obviously can’t eat all these fish yet insist on buying them all. Either you’re a big spender, trying to show off, or have some ulterior motive, especially since you seem a bit off when you see me.

The woman looked at Li Yifei, noticing his odd expression, and asked, "What’s wrong with you?"

"Nothing," Li Yifei shook his head.

The woman then started counting money from her small bag, one, two, three... Today she didn’t hand over a bundle at once but carefully counted out twenty-two bills and handed them to Li Yifei.

Li Yifei took them, didn’t count, and asked, "How come there’s no travel fee today?"

The woman didn’t answer Li Yifei’s question, instead saying, "You’re not like an ordinary person."

"You’re not like an ordinary rich person, either!" Li Yifei replied.

"So you’re not an ordinary person!" the woman insisted.

Li Yifei grinned, revealing white teeth, saying, "Among the masses, if you didn’t buy my fish, we wouldn’t have anything to eat!"

"You’re still not an ordinary person!" the woman insisted.

Chen Junxiao couldn’t understand their roundabout conversation, so his eyes darted back and forth.

"Since you say so, I guess I have to admit, actually, I’m..." Li Yifei deliberately dragged out his words, and sure enough, the woman’s eyes lit up with hope, and she unconsciously leaned forward a bit, looking expectant.

Li Yifei chuckled and stopped, and the woman quickly asked, "What are you?"

"I am the number one hitman in the Huaxia Dragon Group, and they call me Ancestor Dragon," Li Yifei said nonsensically.

The woman looked a bit confused. It wasn’t that she couldn’t hear the sarcasm in Li Yifei’s words, but for some reason, she even wanted to believe what Li Yifei was saying.

"Is what you said true?" the woman asked for confirmation.

Li Yifei shook his head and said, "Sorry, I’m not Ancestor Dragon!"

"Whew. I knew it!" The woman let out a sigh of relief, a bit disappointed, and then continued, "I’ve never heard of any Huaxia Dragon Group. It must be fake!"

"What have you heard of then?"

"I’ve heard of the Flying Hawk Squad!" the woman said, and it was Li Yifei’s turn to show a hint of surprise. Li Yifei had previously guessed that the woman’s family might be some local big shot or a successful entrepreneur since they were in a seaside town. But ordinary entrepreneurs generally wouldn’t have heard of the Flying Hawk Squad.

"Is it an organization like the Dragon Group?" Li Yifei asked deliberately.

The woman looked slightly disappointed, suddenly losing interest, so she straightened up, let out a small sigh, and said, "Uncle Zheng, prepare lunch!"

"Alright, miss, just a moment. I’ll start once I’m done with the fresh fish!" The chubby chef responded as he poked his head out.

Li Yifei handed the money to Chen Junxiao. The little girl carefully placed it in her pocket with both hands. "Another two thousand two hundred! Making money like this is unbelievably easy," she thought.

After accepting the money, Li Yifei said, "Alright then, we’ll head back. If there are lobsters tomorrow, would you like them?"

"If you have lobsters, I’ll take them!" the woman replied.

Li Yifei nodded and said, "Alright, I’ll try to catch some and deliver them to you tomorrow."

As Li Yifei was leading Chen Junxiao away, the woman suddenly felt weak, as if stricken with a sudden illness, and fell backward. Li Yifei’s muscles tensed immediately; he reached out and grabbed her, supporting her back with his other hand to stop her fall. After helping her up, Li Yifei frowned and asked, "What’s wrong?"

"It’s you!" The woman stood straight in a nervous manner, then grabbed Li Yifei’s hand with joy on her face, looking at him and saying, "It’s you, it must be you!"

"I am indeed me! But could you hold on lighter, your nails are digging in!" Li Yifei said with a pained expression.

"Oh, oh! Sorry!" The woman quickly released his hand. Sure enough, where she had grabbed Li Yifei, there were several nail marks, even a bit red. With a reddened face full of apology, she said, "Sorry, I didn’t mean to!"

"I know, but I think you’re mistaking me for someone else!" Li Yifei said.

"I haven’t even said anything yet, why do you think I mistook someone?" the woman retorted.

"Well, you said I was..."

"It’s you, that feeling at that moment I won’t forget!"

"What feeling?" Li Yifei tilted his head and asked.

"The feeling when you caught me, I won’t mistake it, it’s exactly you!"

"Miss, perhaps you’re a bit obsessed!"

The woman shook her head repeatedly and said, "No, no, I’m a rational person, so I wouldn’t mistake you. The first time I saw you, just a glimpse of your back was enough to recognize you!"

Chen Junxiao was entirely baffled by their conversation. Instinctively, she stepped back, giving them more room, with one hand still in her pocket, always protecting the money her uncle had worked hard to earn.

"Sigh, who are you looking for? I’m just a man from the north. Maybe you really have the wrong person. There are many people who look alike in this world!"

"What happened to your waist?" the woman was about to speak but suddenly noticed Li Yifei’s waist was a bit bruised. As she circled around, she saw the not-so-large but scary-looking wound and asked urgently.

Li Yifei explained that he got hurt catching fish in the sea.

"How could catching fish in the sea cause such a serious injury?"

"If it’s an electric eel, it might be like this!" Li Yifei said, even feeling a bit speechless himself. To think that he, an Innate Expert, got hurt catching some fish in the sea by a little electric eel, truly... too embarrassing!

"Electric eel?" the woman mulled over the word, then raised her voice and shouted, "Someone, call the doctor over, quickly!"

"Thank you, but there’s no need for such trouble, I’ll be fine in a few days!"

"You’re saying it’s not a big deal in this condition? It could be serious if it gets infected!" the woman raised her voice and said.

Hearing that it could be serious, Chen Junxiao also quickly said, "Uncle, maybe you should have it looked at, just to be safe!"

"Alright, let’s just bandage it up!" Li Yifei nodded, agreeing with the two women.
