Super Soldier in the City-Chapter 1228 - 1276: Jiang Ningxiang’s Qi Formation

Li Yifei now places even greater importance on Jiang Ningxiang’s situation. Naturally, he needed to spend time with his wives on the day he returned, but the next day after coming back from the company, he and Xu Shanshan immediately brought Jiang Ningxiang over.

"Ningxiang, you said you’ve made progress, can you tell us what kind of progress it was?" Li Yifei asked while sitting on the sofa. Xu Shanshan didn’t snuggle with Li Yifei as she normally would and was equally focused on Jiang Ningxiang.

Jiang Ningxiang promptly replied with utmost respect: "These past few days, I’ve felt my Innate Vital Energy becoming more active within my body, and it seems like there’s even more of it."

"Oh, that’s good news." A surprised delight flashed across Li Yifei’s face.

Xu Shanshan said hastily: "Come, let me have a look."

Jiang Ningxiang obediently walked up to Xu Shanshan, who stood up and held Jiang Ningxiang’s hands.

"Eh?" Xu Shanshan immediately let out a surprised exclamation.

Li Yifei was puzzled by Xu Shanshan’s reaction but didn’t interject, just quietly watched the two of them.

After about two minutes, Xu Shanshan said to Jiang Ningxiang: "Ningxiang, go upstairs and wait for us, your sister-in-law and I will be there shortly."

"Okay!" Jiang Ningxiang complied and immediately went upstairs.

"What’s the matter?" Li Yifei asked in a low voice then.

Xu Shanshan looked very serious and spoke in a subdued tone: "Ningxiang’s True Qi is very strange; it’s mixed with the True Qi from within the Stone Door."

"Huh?" Li Yifei was momentarily stunned.

"I have that True Qi from inside the Stone Door within me as well. This sort of True Qi is also Innate Vital Energy, that’s why it can blend with my True Qi, but there’s not much of it. However, when I checked Ningxiang’s Innate Vital Energy just now, it also contained this type of True Qi."

"Are you saying... she really is Ningxiang?" Li Yifei’s gaze was sharp as he looked at Xu Shanshan.

Xu Shanshan nodded and said: "It’s very likely. Otherwise, why would there be the Stone Door’s True Qi in her body? Moreover, Ningxiang stayed in school until we returned; she only came home as we did. The timing too fits exactly." ƒгeewёbnovel.com

The look on Li Yifei’s face grew uglier, for if this were true, it would mean that Jiang Ningxiang had been manipulating him all along, lurking in his home undetected, knowing every corner of his family affairs. It would be a significant problem for him.

Even though he is now in a cooperative relationship with Noah’s Ark Organization, Li Yifei absolutely didn’t want someone sent undercover to monitor his activities.

"Shanshan, are you sure?" Li Yifei asked again. He had doubted Jiang Ningxiang’s identity and even investigated it before. It seemed normal, but now suddenly there were abnormalities, making everything seem very peculiar.

Upon Li Yifei’s questioning, Xu Shanshan seemed a little uncertain and said: "Could it be that my True Qi entered into her body and she automatically fused with that True Qi? Or, maybe that True Qi is precisely what suits her own True Qi?"

Li Yifei hesitated for a moment, then said: "That seems possible as well. Before we figure out what’s going on, let’s not reveal anything."

Xu Shanshan nodded and said: "Understood, let’s go upstairs and check."

The two of them went upstairs together and pushed open the bedroom door, only to see Jiang Ningxiang already lying on the bed, her cheeks flushed red and a quilt covering her, with her clothes placed on the nightstand.

Seeing her like this, Li Yifei and Xu Shanshan exchanged glances, their suspicions wavering once more. Jiang Ningxiang is only eighteen; could she really be so scheming?

"Master, I just felt something wrong with my True Qi again," Jiang Ningxiang spoke first, her blushing face showing urgency.

"What’s wrong with it?" Xu Shanshan sat down by the bed.

"I don’t know," Jiang Ningxiang said anxiously. "It’s as if something new has appeared in my True Qi just now, something I’ve never cultivated before. I don’t know what to do now; Master, Brother Li, please help me check."

Xu Shanshan and Li Yifei exchanged another glance. What Jiang Ningxiang said suggested that the unusual True Qi Xu Shanshan had felt earlier might have been inadvertently absorbed by Jiang Ningxiang.

The two immediately jumped onto the bed, and Jiang Ningxiang bit her lip before pulling the quilt aside and then closed her eyes to await the examination by Li Yifei and Xu Shanshan.

Li Yifei and Xu Shanshan began checking the True Qi inside Jiang Ningxiang’s body. In recent days, while on the road, Li Yifei had not stopped studying Xu Shanshan’s True Qi and had a certain understanding of the additional True Qi Xu Shanshan brought back, so he detected the presence of that True Qi right away.

What shocked Li Yifei even more was that Jiang Ningxiang’s True Qi rotation within her body was getting faster and stronger.

"Master!" Jiang Ningxiang suddenly opened her eyes and cried out in alarm.

Xu Shanshan spoke sternly: "Don’t panic, keep your True Qi rotation normal."

Hearing Xu Shanshan’s words, Jiang Ningxiang closed her eyes once more, and her True Qi began to rotate normally again. Her body slowly broke out in sweat, and her skin turned a reddened shade.

"Is there a problem?" Li Yifei asked Xu Shanshan in a low voice.

Xu Shanshan seemed very anxious at this moment, saying, "She is about to achieve Qi Formation."

Li Yifei suddenly felt a strong surge of joy in his heart; if Jiang Ningxiang could form her Innate Vital Energy, then their home would gain a true Innate Expert. Moreover, the True Qi within the stone wall seemed to match Jiang Ningxiang’s constitution perfectly. Perhaps next time she could open that Stone Door.

It took over an hour before Jiang Ningxiang’s Innate Vital Energy in her body slowly returned to its normal rotation speed, but this was already a qualitative transformation. The strength of that Innate Vital Energy, even if it might not outstrip Xu Shanshan, was definitely not much weaker.

"Master!" Jiang Ningxiang opened her eyes, looking anxiously at Xu Shanshan.

Xu Shanshan smiled with satisfaction, saying, "Ningxiang, you’ve finally succeeded."

"Ah! Is it a success?" Jiang Ningxiang was a bit dazed.

Xu Shanshan nodded, saying, "Yes."

"Oh yeah!" Jiang Ningxiang suddenly shouted with excitement, then her body sprung up sharply, not even seeming to exert force; her body sprang up to a height of about one meter.

"Ah!" Jiang Ningxiang screamed in fright, flailing her arms and legs tumbling down.

She was falling right towards Li Yifei, who effortlessly caught her.

"What’s wrong?" Li Yifei was also startled by Jiang Ningxiang and asked anxiously while holding her.

"I... How did I suddenly bounce so high?" Jiang Ningxiang stammered, her arms still wrapped around Li Yifei’s neck.

Li Yifei immediately understood and burst into laughter, saying, "Silly girl, now that you have formed your Innate Vital Energy, you haven’t learned to properly use it yet, so you’re not accustomed to it."

"Ah ah... To be so powerful, my goodness." Jiang Ningxiang said dumbly with her mouth agape.

Li Yifei gently patted Jiang Ningxiang, saying, "Yes, congratulations... Oh, Ningxiang, you should get down first."

After patting Jiang Ningxiang, Li Yifei realized that Jiang Ningxiang was naked in his arms, and the spot he just patted was Jiang Ningxiang’s very elastic little bottom. It was one thing during martial arts training, but this was far too intimate under the current circumstances.

Jiang Ningxiang also realized her current state at once and let out an exclamation, pushed Li Yifei away, and flew backward, crashing directly into Xu Shanshan. Xu Shanshan pushed and guided her, getting Jiang Ningxiang to lie down on the bed.

Jiang Ningxiang then frantically grabbed the blanket to cover herself, even shrouding her face, clearly too embarrassed.

However, Xu Shanshan burst into laughter at this point, saying, "Ningxiang, look at you, you’ve pushed your brother-in-law off the bed in one go."

Jiang Ningxiang had been covering her head, but now she hurriedly pulled back the blanket to see Li Yifei scrambling up from the ground, and she stuttered, "Brother Li, I... I..."

Li Yifei shook his head, smiling wryly, "Ningxiang, your strength is just too much."

"Brother-in-law, you must be the first man to be pushed off a bed by a woman, right?" She then exaggerated her laughter even more.

Li Yifei rubbed his nose, saying, "Indeed, the first time being pushed off a bed by a woman, and by Little Ningxiang, who regards me like a father, this is really embarrassing."

Jiang Ningxiang was equal parts ashamed and flustered, and exclaimed in panic, "Brother Li, I... I really didn’t do it on purpose, I had no idea I would be so strong... You... You’re not injured, are you?"

Li Yifei laughed it off, "No worries, no worries, Brother Li is so robust, that couldn’t hurt me. But you have to quickly learn how to use this kind of True Qi, otherwise if you’re not careful, you could hurt someone."

Jiang Ningxiang nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes, I won’t touch anyone these next days, not until I’ve got it under control."

"Hmm, you just rest here for a while, I have something to discuss with your master."

Li Yifei and Xu Shanshan went downstairs, and all along, Xu Shanshan couldn’t help but snicker.

Once downstairs, Xu Shanshan put away her smile, saying, "I feel like I might have overthought it. Ningxiang was lured by that True Qi, which is why I felt it inside her. And now, her sudden breakthrough is really a pleasant surprise."

Li Yifei hesitated for a moment, then said, "To be safe, we should still investigate. If Ningxiang has indeed been at school these past days, then she’s clearly fine. But if she’s not at school..."

Xu Shanshan shook her head, saying, "I don’t think so. When Ningxiang formed her Innate Vital Energy just now, I could feel it too, and it was indeed like that."

Li Yifei looked at Xu Shanshan, saying, "If you were to pretend to have just formed your True Qi right now, could you do it?"

Xu Shanshan was startled, thought for a while, and said, "I think I could accomplish that."

Li Yifei nodded, "That settles it, we must thoroughly investigate this matter."
