Super Soldier in the City-Chapter 1438 - 1487 Sophia Accompanies

"Good morning, Yunzhu, Xin’er!" Li Yifei walked over, put down the two daughters, who then each went to find their moms, and leaped into their arms. But they didn’t stay long, as Li Yufei pulled her sister, saying she wanted to take her to see butterflies.

Ye Yunzhu saw that Li Yifei’s complexion had recovered and felt relieved. Last night Li Yifei’s appearance really worried the women. Yunzhu was troubled for a long time. She could figure out Li Yifei’s meaning at the dinner table, but understanding was one thing; she was more worried that Su Mengxin and Xu Yingying might not get over it, leading to family conflict.

Li Yifei was like this, and if the two women acted awkwardly on purpose, it wouldn’t be good news for the Li family.

Ye Yunzhu still wanted to confirm, so she asked, "Where’s Yingying?"

"Her? She’s bathing with Mengxin. I heard the two darlings looking for their dad, so I came out first." Li Yifei grinned, beckoning to Ye Yunzhu and Ning Xin’er to come closer.

The two women were a bit confused, unsure of what Li Yifei intended, and stood still. Li Yifei frowned slightly, didn’t bother to explain, but actively walked over and planted a kiss on Ye Yunzhu’s cheek. Ye Yunzhu was as if struck by lightning, her eyes widened instantly, and Ning Xin’er was also in shock with her mouth slightly agape. Li Yifei then swiftly kissed her too.

Li Yifei smiled and said, "What are you waiting for? Aren’t you going to kiss me back?"

After speaking, he turned his face towards the two women, waiting for reciprocation.

Ning Xin’er became a bit excited but reacted faster than Ye Yunzhu, immediately wrapping her arms around Li Yifei’s neck and giving him a loud kiss with a "smooch" sound.

Ye Yunzhu wasn’t to be outdone either, and also gave a kiss on Li Yifei’s other cheek.

The two women had light makeup on, and faint lip prints fell on Li Yifei’s face.

Upstairs, just out of the shower, drying her hair, Su Mengxin tugged Xu Yingying next to her, indicating outside the window. Xu Yingying looked over and happened to see this scene, covering her mouth with a smile.

Su Mengxin tossed her hair and said, "Have you noticed that our husband is becoming more charming?"

Xu Yingying nodded in agreement, a faint smile on her face, while tidying her clothes, she said, "Indeed, it proves he loves us more."

"Hey, Yingying, when Yifei carried me over last night, your expression didn’t seem right."

"Hmm? What was wrong with it?"

"Your face was so rosy, it was like... you just did something intimate." Su Mengxin smiled mischievously, poking Xu Yingying’s chest with her finger and said, "Did you maybe solve it yourself last night?"

Xu Yingying wouldn’t admit it, glared at Su Mengxin, and wiggled her way downstairs.

Su Mengxin lagged behind, her eyes circling, murmuring softly, "Should I prepare some of those things to share with the sisters at home? Since Yifei can’t do that in the short term, being without can lead to trouble if everyone’s deprived for too long."

These words Li Yifei didn’t hear, or else it’s unclear what his expression would be, and when he actually found out about this, it would be much later.

Having kissed Ye Yunzhu and Ning Xin’er, Li Yifei practically kissed everyone he met along the way.

When kissing, don’t think too much, or else the heart would ache severely, but the heart doesn’t hurt to the point of being unbearable instantly. This is related to his inner emotions. As long as Li Yifei doesn’t dwell on those things too much, a kiss is still bearable. Although the heart will still hurt, it can be ignored. It’s more painful than a pinprick, but Li Yifei is not an ordinary person, and he has endured such pain countless times over the years.

Understanding this, Li Yifei was naturally in a better mood, almost kissing all the women in the house, and when he saw Sophia, he nearly kissed her too.

Sophia had always been protecting the Li family from the shadows, like a shadow never showing her face, but would appear immediately if needed. These days, she had helped the Li family quite a bit by catching many petty thieves.

And Li Yifei almost never mentioned her, not even in front of the women, but this time, Li Yifei called her out.

Sophia stood respectfully in front of Li Yifei. She had long surrendered to this powerful man and dared not have any thoughts otherwise.

Li Yifei looked at Sophia, a faint smile on his face, sizing her up and suddenly made a move towards her.

Sophia quickly dodged back two steps, seeing the smile still on Li Yifei’s face, she understood he was only testing her and she quickly counter-attacked.

Sophia’s moves always aim to be lethal in one strike or defeat the opponent with the fewest moves without any waste. As soon as she countered, Li Yifei became serious.

In the small room, the two sparred back and forth for dozens of rounds. Li Yifei managed to push Sophia back with a move, and when he saw her sweeping kick coming, Li Yifei caught it with one hand and said, "Alright, that’s enough. I just wanted to check how you’ve been practicing lately."

"Master, I haven’t slacked off a single day!" Sophia answered first, but her face involuntarily flushed as she glanced at her own leg.

Li Yifei let go of her leg, rubbing his palm, but he didn’t plan on explaining further. He did have some selfish reasons, but they were not something he could easily disclose.

Returning to his image of a master, Li Yifei commented, "It’s important to practice diligently, but you don’t need to exhaust yourself every day. Occasionally relaxing is also good for cultivation. You’re doing well now. I used fifty percent of my strength earlier; otherwise, you might have beaten me."

Sophia felt an urge to roll her eyes. She had used all her strength, focusing completely in the sparring match with Li Yifei, each move a killing technique she’d honed, yet Li Yifei only used half his strength. His words were somewhat discouraging.

Fortunately, Sophia already knew Li Yifei’s abnormality, so after taking a deep breath and exhaling, she forgot his words. Anyway, since Li Yifei said she improved, it meant she did, and Sophia felt a bit happy inside.

Li Yifei, unaware of Sophia’s inner thoughts, shifted the topic: "In a few days, I’m going to Japan. Are you coming?"

"Japan? Master, why are you going to Japan?" Sophia asked in slight confusion.

Li Yifei explained the matter regarding Yanagio Inujiro.

After listening, Sophia’s first reaction was not to inquire about the details and arrangements, but to murmur, "Why does this name sound so much like some names from our side?"

"Like what?" Li Yifei asked.

Sophia stuck out her tongue, showing a rare cute side, and said, "Yanagio Inujiro, isn’t that just Yanagio Doggy..."

Li Yifei let out a sound of exasperation, waved his hand and said, "Be serious, what Doggy? He is the Martial God of Japan. Be careful with such words, or you might provoke their ire."

Sophia resumed a serious demeanor, her aura changing instantly, and she exuded a strong killing intent, her eyes gleaming with cold light, "Alright, Master, who do you need killed? I’ll do it."

Li Yifei shook his head and said, "No need to kill anyone, and I don’t even know who would need to be killed. As soon as I arrive in Japan, I’ll be in the spotlight, so I need someone in the shadows to gather information or handle troubles, and that’s why I thought of you. But it’s not for nothing; I’ve recently developed a new light-body technique that I can teach you."

Sophia had already agreed, and upon hearing there was something to learn, she was even more eager, nodding heavily, "Alright, I’ll go with you, Master."

Li Yifei called Sophia out for this very reason, and hearing her agreement meant his goal was achieved.

After giving some additional instructions, Li Yifei left the idle villa, and in a shadow, Sophia too disappeared, no matter if it was day or night, this mysterious female assassin came and went like a phantom.

Li Yifei wandered down to Su Yiyi’s villa. The greenhouse garden here was already established, and Na Yi’s Worm King friend was settled within.

Now, it had become a sight for the Li family. The daughters loved playing here, and the women, when they have some leisure time, would occasionally come over, not only for the various flowers but also because of the presence of the Worm King, which attracted countless beautiful butterflies, hummingbirds, and bees.

They didn’t come here to collect nectar but to worship the Worm King still in the cocoon. Especially the butterflies, they would fly very high at first, spiral in circles, flicker their beautiful wings, and slowly descend. Once at a certain height, they would suspend in mid-air, their wings rapidly fluttering, finally landing, prostrating on the ground, wings fully spread out, completely touching the surface.

This act of worship sometimes lasted several days, yet these butterflies and bees wouldn’t die here. Instead, it seemed they gained strength from the worship process, leaving with vigor.

The bees were not at all aggressive either; even if you pinched them, they wouldn’t react.

More strangely, the vegetation around the Li family was flourishing. Even the withered trees were slowly budding and sprouting new leaves, making the employees in charge of the flowers and plants endlessly amazed.

It wasn’t just trees. Even the women’s own plants, which were about to die with rotten leaves and stalks, regained vitality recently, with some even blooming.

Some even moved wilted plants from outside to here, and a few days later, were pleasantly surprised to see those plants come back to life.

This mysterious power is what the Worm King brings. Na Yi provided an explanation: Xiaowu possesses mysterious life power and is very close to nature, which is why the plants are rejuvenated.

Li Yifei came today to check on the Worm King and see this wondrous scene.

His two daughters were playing merrily among the flowers, Li Yufei taking good care of her sister, staying close and being cautious not to let her bump into anything. Meanwhile, Ye Yunzhu and Ning Xin’er were gently swaying on the swing under the tree, holding books, reading slowly.
