Super Soldier in the City

Chapter 2389 - 2453: To Ally or Not

Uniting the entire world for a single purpose is unprecedented in history. At most, certain countries or certain forces unite to achieve something, but it’s never truly a hundred percent unity. But now, the Holy Maiden was no longer joking; she was speaking very seriously to Li Yifei, which left him somewhat stunned.World War I, World War II, and even today’s global anti-terrorism efforts are all actions taken by a select number of countries, while some countries secretly fund those terrorists...

Several major organizations have united to annihilate Noah’s Ark... Li Yifei had no immediate thoughts on this matter. Seeing the Holy Maiden’s definite answer, he said, "Yanzi, I haven’t really thought about this. Besides, Huaxia has many esteemed experts who might not easily take action against the Holy War Organization!"

The Holy Maiden smiled faintly upon hearing this and said, "I understand what you mean. So I’m just letting you know privately that this is just a preliminary proposal. Only a few elders and I are aware of it. However, since the Noah’s Ark Organization dared to do such audacious things, the Holy War Organization must retaliate!"

Li Yifei pondered for a moment and said, "I can’t respond to you right now, but I will relay your words. If an attack does happen and you participate, count me in. But I’m doing this in a personal capacity, so you need not announce it. I’ll stay by your side to protect you!"

"Yifei, I..."

"Things aren’t conclusive yet, so there’s no need to say more. But I can’t let you be in danger!"

"Okay!" The Holy Maiden nodded heavily, her heart feeling sweet. Ever since she lost, some of her worries had been completely set aside, making her feel at ease. However, due to certain commitments, she still couldn’t reunite with Li Yifei.

Hearing Li Yifei say he would protect her, the Holy Maiden was, of course, happy.

"Yes, some things are of course very important, but you should also think of yourself. You’ll be part of the Li family in the future, so take good care of yourself!" Li Yifei added.

The Holy Maiden chuckled and said, "Understood."

"Alright, I’m hanging up for now!" Li Yifei said.

"Wait a minute!"

"Hmm?"

"I... want to give you a kiss, close your eyes first!" The Holy Maiden said.

"Haha, okay, go ahead!"

"Smooch..." She gave a strong kiss before hanging up the phone. After Li Yifei hung up, he rubbed his face as if he really got kissed, shook his head, and cheerfully put away his phone.

Regarding what the Holy Maiden had said, Li Yifei understood that she privately informed him to allow him to mentally prepare and to discreetly pass on the information to decision-makers like Murong Yuanqing to get them mentally prepared.

Therefore, Li Yifei returned to Murong Yuanqing’s room and informed him about it. The latter seemed to have expected it and nodded, saying, "We’ve also considered this matter, but the timing isn’t right yet. We’re still not very knowledgeable about this mysterious Noah’s Ark Organization. However, if the Holy War Organization is willing to be the vanguard, we can assist."

"I didn’t give her a reply!" Li Yifei said.

Murong Yuanqing waved his hand and said, "There’s no rush on this matter!"

Li Yifei left Murong Yuanqing’s room and was about to return to his room when he saw Chen JunXiao and Hu Yu’er approaching his doorstep. Li Yifei smiled and said, "Why aren’t you resting in your rooms?"

"Uncle, are you going back?" Chen JunXiao asked, looking up.

Li Yifei patted her head, opened the bedroom door, and said, "Come in and we’ll talk."

By now, after witnessing many wonders, Hu Yu’er finally recognized that there was indeed a significant gap between her and Li Yifei. She originally thought that, with her background and ability, she could completely overshadow Li Yifei. However, not only could she not overshadow him, the gap was even larger than she imagined. Therefore, she decisively decided that, since Li Yifei had acknowledged her as a little sister, she should earnestly accept that role and stop overthinking.

Everyone’s personality is different, and so are their decisions. After recognizing these issues, Hu Yu’er could decisively make this decision.

After letting the two women in, Li Yifei said, "I might go back tomorrow; this trip has lasted quite a few days!"

"Uncle, thank you!" Chen JunXiao said, and was about to kneel to bow. Li Yifei quickly grabbed her, saying, "There’s no need for that between us. Our meeting is fate. Your task is to study hard and, in the future, live the life you imagine. Many years later, if you have your career, ability, and life, and you still remember your uncle, that’s enough!"

"Uncle, I will never forget you, never in my life!" Chen JunXiao said seriously, pouting her lips.

"Uncle believes in you!" Li Yifei smiled.

Hu Yu’er smiled and said, "Brother Li, don’t worry, JunXiao will live with me, and she’ll definitely not be wronged."

"Of course, I trust you and JunXiao."

"You’re going back with Sister Shanshan tomorrow, so let me see you off tonight!" Hu Yu’er said.

"Alright, but don’t go overboard with it," Li Yifei said.

"Just a token of appreciation." Hu Yu’er said.

The next day, Li Yifei and Xu Shanshan boarded the plane back with Murong Yuanqing and others. When the plane landed, Li Yifei and Xu Shanshan first sent Murong Yuanqing back and then went to Old Master Su’s residence, where they met Su Mengxin.

Old Su’s health had improved a lot, and with that life-extending medicine, the old master not only didn’t have to worry about his lifespan, but his physical health had also improved. According to him, he was still full of energy, and the effects were great.

With the old master doing well, the Su family felt much more at ease, as this great tree was truly important to them.

After resting for a night, Li Yifei took Su Mengxin and Xu Shanshan back to Ning Province, returning to their home in Mile City.

Li Yifei had been away from home for too long this time, and all the women at home missed him very much. Knowing he was back, most of them had returned home. Li Yifei, after nearly a month of absence, missed his wife and children dearly, so he was very happy to see them too.

This joyous occasion doesn’t need much elaboration. That night, after helping Xu Yingying, who was nine months pregnant, wash up and lie down on the bed, Li Yifei was beside her rubbing her feet. Since it was already nine months, only about twenty days from the due date, Xu Yingying’s stomach was huge. The medical check-up showed the baby in her belly was also quite big, so carrying such a big belly every day was tiring for Xu Yingying.

"My back hurts; Ningxiang massages me these days, but it still aches!" Xu Yingying couldn’t help but complain.

Li Yifei reached over and turned on the music box on the side, letting some soothing music play. He leaned closer to Xu Yingying’s belly, having just seen her belly move. Clearly, the baby inside was practicing martial arts. He found it fascinating and leaned closer, saying to the belly, "Dear baby, daddy and mommy are both watching you now. If you hear this, give us another move."

"If it moves any more, my belly will burst!" Xu Yingying gave him a little punch. She placed a hand gently on her belly, caressing it, and then said, "I used to just watch them struggle with pregnancy. I didn’t realize my pregnancy would feel so arduous until I went through it myself. No wonder they say you don’t know the labor until you raise a child."

"You’ve been through a lot, honey. It’s all my fault for being irresponsible, running around all the time and not fulfilling my duties as a father and husband!" Li Yifei confessed.

Xu Yingying rolled her eyes at him and said, "It’s good you know, but then again, how can I blame you? Who told me to fall in love with you?"

When Jiang Ningxiang was pregnant, her reactions were minimal, mainly because she was an Innate Expert, and many aspects were unaffected. However, people like Ye Yunzhu, Song Lianyao, and now Xu Yingying, they are all ordinary people. Although they exercise regularly, pregnancy’s physiological reactions are inescapable, adding many inconveniences to their lives. For instance, now at nine months, the fetal development compresses the bladder. Xu Yingying gets up many times a night, and because of her big belly, standing up and sitting down are inconvenient. When Li Yifei isn’t home, Xu Shanshan sleeps with her at night to assist her. Now that Li Yifei is back, he’s taking on that role, but this is a physiological accumulation, and there’s not much Li Yifei can do to help.

One night, after accompanying Xu Yingying through six trips to the bathroom, Li Yifei finally realized the hardship of pregnancy. It was not just frequent urination but also constipation, organ compression pain, loss of appetite, and various other reactions. Some could be adjusted with True Qi, but others could only be met with love and care.

This also made Li Yifei appreciate the hardships his other wives had undergone during childbirth, so on this day, he thanked each of them. The women who knew why were comforted, while those who learned later were equally moved.

Upon returning home, the household was naturally filled with joy. The arrangement of their home was inherently unique, and strictly speaking, each woman had made significant sacrifices. To maintain harmony over time, each woman had to compromise a lot.

Li Yifei wasn’t someone who couldn’t see the blessing he had. He was genuinely grateful for these women. His achievements today weren’t solely due to his efforts, and the military achievements should be equally credited to his wives.

"Honey!" Li Yifei looked tenderly at Xu Yingying, having just finished massaging her slightly swollen feet.

"Hmm?" Xu Yingying raised her eyelids slightly as if asking what he was up to. Li Yifei then took her two feet in his hands, leaned his face close, rubbed it against them, and said, "You’ve worked hard!"

"Aren’t you bothered by the smell?" Xu Yingying blushed. Even though they were almost like an old married couple, Xu Yingying still felt embarrassed by Li Yifei’s actions.

"No, they’re not smelly. How can they be? Every part of you is fragrant!" To prove his point, Li Yifei gave her a kiss on each foot, making Xu Yingying more embarrassed.
