Super Soldier in the City-Chapter 1215 - 1263: Going in Circles and Coming Back

Meng Xiaofei was holding not just any banana, but a massive one, practically a pound in weight for three or four of them. She shook the banana and muttered softly, "This should be about the same size as Brother Li’s, right?"

Xu Shanshan almost laughed out loud, while Li Yifei’s face turned dark, surprised that Meng Xiaofei actually thought that way. It was quite a blow, "Xiaofei, do you really need to do this? Brother Li’s thing, you can have it anytime!"

"But it’s so big, how can it fit inside? Won’t it be uncomfortable?" Meng Xiaofei murmured again.

Xu Shanshan nudged Li Yifei with her elbow, her mischievous smile growing wider.

Li Yifei’s expression darkened even more. If Meng Xiaofei really did that, he would definitely stop her, and immediately carry her to the room to straighten her out. This girl was really hitting below the belt.

"Oh well, just trying it should be fine, if others can, there’s no reason I can’t," Meng Xiaofei murmured again, seemingly decisive.

Li Yifei was about to show himself at that moment, but stopped almost immediately because Meng Xiaofei didn’t start stripping or anything like that; instead, she brought the banana to her lips and slowly put it in her mouth.

Xu Shanshan and Li Yifei were both taken aback, and then instantly understood what was going on.

However, Xu Shanshan quickly burst into laughter, winking repeatedly at Li Yifei, who now felt rather smug. It turned out Meng Xiaofei wanted to try because she saw him with Su Mengxin that day. But she didn’t have to run to the woods early in the morning for this, she could have just tried it secretly in her own bedroom.

"Ahem..." Meng Xiaofei suddenly coughed violently and pulled out the banana, gasping before managing to stop coughing. She grimaced, "This is really too difficult. Sister Mengxin swallowed it whole that day, and I can’t even do half. Brother Li will definitely not like me anymore."

Li Yifei really wanted to go out immediately to tell her she didn’t need to imitate others, but on second thought, he held back. Going out at that moment would only embarrass Meng Xiaofei, and knowing her temperament, she probably wouldn’t see him for days. Better to wait for another opportunity to subtly tell her.

He pulled Xu Shanshan along and the two of them exited, meeting up with Jiang Ningxiang and walking towards Xu Shanshan’s villa.

Once inside the villa, Xu Shanshan couldn’t help but burst into laughter.

Li Yifei’s face darkened, saying, "Alright, stop laughing, we still need to study Ningxiang’s True Qi."

Jiang Ningxiang looked confused at the two, but the young girl was very obedient, knowing this wasn’t something she should ask about.

Xu Shanshan laughed for a while before finally stopping. She winked at Li Yifei, "Brother-in-law, this Xiaofei really cares about you, putting so much effort to please you."

Li Yifei glared at Xu Shanshan, "Don’t spout nonsense in front of the kid."

Xu Shanshan suddenly extended her arm around Li Yifei’s neck, giggling, "Ningxiang is already eighteen, a grown-up, not a child anymore."

"You..." Li Yifei was startled by Xu Shanshan’s move.

Xu Shanshan kept giggling, "Ningxiang is my disciple, she absolutely would not betray me. Right, Ningxiang?"

Jiang Ningxiang’s face turned red and she dared not look at the two, whispering, "Master, I won’t say anything."

Li Yifei totally didn’t understand why Xu Shanshan wanted to do this. Even if Jiang Ningxiang wouldn’t tell, there was no need to make their relationship apparent in front of this young girl.

Xu Shanshan lightly bit Li Yifei’s ear, cooing, "You research True Qi so closely with Ningxiang, just like with me, how could she not know about us?"

Li Yifei felt a bit embarrassed, recognizing that indeed was the case, but getting so close to Jiang Ningxiang still made him a bit uncomfortable. fгeewёbnoѵel.cσm

"Let’s go upstairs," Xu Shanshan said, releasing Li Yifei and then pulling both him and Jiang Ningxiang upstairs.

Upon entering her bedroom, Xu Shanshan casually closed the door, then said nonchalantly to Jiang Ningxiang, "Ningxiang, lie down on the bed, just like when Master teaches you usually."

Jiang Ningxiang hesitated, her face flushing, and stuttered, "Master... do we... still have to do that?"

"Of course, that’s the only way to thoroughly check," Xu Shanshan earnestly replied, then glared, "What now, you won’t even listen to your Master?"

"I... I... Yes, Master!" Jiang Ningxiang seemed a bit aggrieved, slowly moving to the bed, then reached down to grab the hem of her sweater.

Li Yifei, not initially understanding what Xu Shanshan wanted Jiang Ningxiang to do, was startled by her actions and quickly grabbed Jiang Ningxiang’s arm, saying, "Ningxiang, you don’t have to do this."

Xu Shanshan discontentedly said, "What do you mean not needed? You always let her wear clothes, can you really feel her True Qi completely?"

Li Yifei was at a loss for words. To be honest, the nature of Innate Vital Energy is too mysterious; there are subtle changes within it that just can’t be perceived through clothing, especially after experimenting together with Xu Shanshan, Li Yifei could feel it even more.

Xu Shanshan continued, "Ningxiang now has a treasure within her yet we do not know how to harness it. Don’t you feel it’s a pity?"

Li Yifei hesitated for a moment and said, "Perhaps it’s just slow, we might figure it out after some more time."

Xu Shanshan gave Li Yifei a look and said, "I don’t think it’s that simple. The reason I’m doing this is that I encountered a problem myself. I can only follow part of Ningxiang’s True Qi but don’t know the operating conditions of the rest. So I thought of a method where both of us can inspect together. By probing with our True Qi, we can better understand the workings of Ningxiang’s True Qi, and the results should be better this way."

At this moment, Jiang Ningxiang’s face slightly changed, and she lowered her head even more.

"But... if Ningxiang takes off her clothes, that’d be... really embarrassing." Li Yifei said with a bitter smile.

Xu Shanshan suddenly winked at Li Yifei and said, "Have you forgotten what I told you?"

Li Yifei was even more embarrassed and said, "Shanshan, let’s just drop this matter."

"Drop the matter? I’m serious. With such a treasure like Ningxiang, I certainly do not wish to let others take advantage. Ningxiang, I ask you, if Brother Li wants you to be his woman, would you be willing?"

Jiang Ningxiang was shocked, she quickly glanced at Li Yifei and then bowed her head, not daring to utter a word.

"Ningxiang, answer me, are you willing or not?" Xu Shanshan immediately pressed on.

Li Yifei quickly said, "Shanshan, you are Ningxiang’s mentor, how can you press your disciple like this? Ningxiang, you don’t have to answer."

Xu Shanshan was very persistent at this moment, her face stern as she asked, "Ningxiang, aren’t you going to answer your mentor?"

"Mentor...I...I...I am unwilling." Jiang Ningxiang said, tears already beginning to flow.

Upon hearing this, Li Yifei actually felt somewhat depressed. Over the years, there were many women in his family; he always rejected others and none ever rejected him. Now Jiang Ningxiang’s rejection seemed like a blow to him.

Xu Shanshan was shocked as she looked at Jiang Ningxiang and said, "Do you really not want it?"

Jiang Ningxiang sobbed lightly and whispered, "Mentor, it’s not that I don’t listen to you, it’s just that... here, Brother Li takes care of me, and there are so many sisters-in-law who are good to me. In my heart, Brother Li is like my father, and the sisters-in-law are like my mothers. I... I really never thought of being Brother Li’s woman."

This statement gave Li Yifei a chance to save face, and he chuckled, saying, "See? I also regard Ningxiang as a daughter. It’s just you worrying unnecessarily here. Alright, Ningxiang don’t cry, your mentor was just joking with you."

Xu Shanshan rolled her eyes and said, "Well, since that’s what you think, I won’t say more then."

Li Yifei breathed a sigh of relief, while Jiang Ningxiang also lifted her head, sobbed a couple of times, and whispered, "Thank you, mentor."

Li Yifei chuckled and said, "Alright, alright, no more grievances."

Xu Shanshan then said sternly, "You make it sound like I, the mentor, am bullying my disciple, making me out to be the villain."

Jiang Ningxiang quickly said, "No, no, I know you mean well for me, mentor. I also know that Brother Li treats me very well. In my entire life, no one has treated me as well as Brother Li, that’s why I regard him as a father, to better repay Brother Li for his kindness to me."

Li Yifei found these words particularly pleasing to the ear and ruffled Jiang Ningxiang’s hair, saying, "Good child, in my heart, I’ve also regarded you as a daughter, this will always be your home."

Jiang Ningxiang’s nose soured again, and then she suddenly threw herself into Li Yifei’s arms, crying out, "Dad!"

Li Yifei gently patted Jiang Ningxiang’s back and chuckled, "Alright, my good daughter."

Xu Shanshan chuckled and said, "Such deep father-daughter affection indeed, but this is also good, Ningxiang, do you really regard your brother-in-law as your father?"

Jiang Ningxiang released Li Yifei and quickly nodded vigorously.

Xu Shanshan smiled beamingly and said, "Well, that settles it. Since he is your father, and you his daughter, you have nothing to be embarrassed about. Take off your clothes, let us check your True Qi quickly."

Li Yifei and Jiang Ningxiang were instantly petrified; after all the twists and turns, how did it come back to taking off clothes again?
