Super Soldier in the City-Chapter 1241 - 1292: Playing with the Thug

The Holy Maiden suddenly grabbed Li Yifei’s arm, pressing her body closely against him, and tremblingly said, "Husband, I’m scared."

Li Yifei couldn’t help but smirk; the Holy Maiden was up to her tricks again. The term "Holy Maiden" literally means a sacred girl and indeed, she is a goddess of purity within the Holy War Organization. To outsiders, she is untouchable, but only in front of Li Yifei does she reveal her playful, girlish nature.

Perhaps due to the deep repression within the Holy War Organization, the Holy Maiden turns wild and uninhibited when she opens her heart to Li Yifei.

"What... what do you want to do?" Since the Holy Maiden wanted to play, Li Yifei decided to play along joyfully, hugging her tightly with a panicky look, stuttering as he asked.

"Are you freaking deaf? Didn’t you hear me say this is a robbery? We’re only after money. Give it up quietly, and we won’t hurt you."

"Alright, alright, I’ll get the money." Li Yifei’s hand trembled as he reached for his pocket.

At that moment, the Holy Maiden suddenly held down Li Yifei’s hand, making a pained face as she said, "Husband, we can’t give it to them. That’s our living expense for the rest of the month. If we let them take it, how are we going to survive?"

Li Yifei quickly looked at the guy in front of him, pleading with a bitter face, "Big brother, we are poor people, we barely have a dime on us, please let us go."

"Damn it, cut the crap, hand over the money." The man opposite didn’t heed the plea, instead shaking his dagger and saying, "Are we gonna have to get rough?"

"No, no, don’t get rough, honey, they have knives. If we don’t give them the money, then...they might stab us a couple of times and that’s it."

The Holy Maiden sobbed, saying, "Then... dear sir, can we negotiate, could you rob us of, maybe, something else instead of money?"

Li Yifei nearly collided head-first, shocked by how extreme the Holy Maiden was playing. He discreetly pinched her waist to express his protest.

"Rob something else?" The four thugs were momentarily stunned. Being veterans in robbery, they had truly never encountered anyone who suggested being robbed of something other than money. Under the cover of night, the woman in front of them wasn’t very clear, but she seemed appealing, and they were suddenly tempted.

The leader immediately said, "That’s not a bad idea. Then come with us quietly, make us happy, and we won’t take your money."

Another one immediately said, "Big brother, no way, who voluntarily offers something else instead of money in a robbery? These two must have something extremely valuable on them; otherwise, they would never prefer other options over losing money."

The leader thought for a moment and agreed, glaring fiercely, "Then we rob both, money and more."

"Husband, what do we do, they want both the money and your wife," lamented the Holy Maiden.

Li Yifei glared at the Holy Maiden and said, "If that’s the case, it seems we can only fight them then."

"But they have knives, can we really beat them?" the Holy Maiden asked cheerfully.

"I don’t know, if worse comes to worst, just let them stab us twice, it won’t be a big deal." Saying this, he took out the remaining two hundred bucks from his pocket and handed it to the Holy Maiden, "Honey, you must hold onto this money. It’s what we need to survive the rest of the month. I’ll go and fight them."

The four thugs looked at each other in dismay. Two hundred bucks, was that worth fighting to death for? Furthermore, that woman actually suggested being robbed in another way just for these two hundred bucks. These people were damn stingy.

"Boss, they’re definitely pretending," the smart-looking thief remarked.

"Act." The boss glared and uttered a command. Now, if they could subdue both and search them, they would know the real situation.

The four soon pounced towards Li Yifei and the Holy Maiden, tired of the complicacies of the robbery. Had it not been for this desolate area, they wouldn’t have dared to waste words, fearing that it might attract other people, particularly the police, which would only make things worse.

"Oh dear, husband, they are really getting rough, what should we do?" the Holy Maiden suddenly flung herself behind Li Yifei, tightly wrapping her arms around his neck.

Li Yifei never expected the Holy Maiden to be this dramatic, but quickly responded by holding her thighs, "Honey, how am I supposed to fight with you on my back like this?"

"I don’t care, you’re the man, you have to protect me."

"Alright, alright, then I’ll protect you, since you are my wife after all."

As Li Yifei and the Holy Maiden continued their bantering, the four robbers became increasingly frustrated. Logically, four guys against a man and a woman should be an easy job—all charged and it should’ve been quickly settled, but there they were, chattering away with one being carried, and the four couldn’t even touch a piece of their clothing.

"Husband, can you close your eyes, please?" the Holy Maiden suddenly whispered in Li Yifei’s ear.

"Why?" asked Li Yifei, puzzled.

"I’ll tell you why," the Holy Maiden giggled as she spoke.

Li Yifei pulled up his hand and gently patted the Holy Maiden’s butt, saying, "No problem." Then he closed his eyes directly, even shutting down his own senses, now completely relying on the Holy Maiden’s instructions.

"Honey, bad news, I got sand in my eyes, can’t see anything." He also shouted loudly, as a reminder to those thugs.

The four thugs originally felt something was off and even had the intention to retreat, but suddenly hearing Li Yifei shout like that, they got spirited again and rushed towards Li Yifei once more.

The Holy Maiden on Li Yifei’s back shouted loudly, "Ah, husband, that man is on your left, he’s going to stab your chest."

Li Yifei dodged to the right, and the dagger just grazed past his body.

"Husband, the guy on the right is kicking your abdomen."

Li Yifei turned his body and dodged that kick as well.

Initially, Li Yifei and the Holy Maiden’s coordination was a bit awkward, but relying on Li Yifei’s super quick response ability, he was still able to easily manage, even if he didn’t dodge in time at the moment, once the blade touched him, Li Yifei could easily dodge away.

So it was all with shocks but no real danger, and after a slight adjustment, the cooperation between them became even more in sync. It became even smoother and more comfortable, playing around with these people became even easier.

These thugs, after all, were not that stupid. Eventually, they realized that Li Yifei and the Holy Maiden were not to be messed with, and that they were just being toyed with. Suddenly not knowing who shouted, the four people thought about fleeing.

"Husband, they’re running away, that’s no fun."

Li Yifei laughed and said, "Then let’s keep them for a bit more fun."

"Okay, three meters to the left," the Holy Maiden immediately called out.

Li Yifei dashed to the left and grabbed a man by the collar.

"Six meters to the right," the Holy Maiden called out again.

Li Yifei waved his hand, and that guy was sent flying directly, hitting another guy on the right, and both of them rolled on the sand.

"Eight meters ahead, there are two more."

Li Yifei chased after them with a few leaps, those two hearing the footsteps, ran desperately, but before they took a few steps, their collars were grabbed, and then they were sent flying, falling down together with the other two.

However, these four didn’t really get hurt. For one thing, Li Yifei used a clever force and didn’t apply much power; moreover, the sand was soft, which cushioned their fall, and they quickly got up from the ground.

"Fuck, let’s take down that bitch first, kill her, and no one will be able to direct him," one thug shouted.

Those guys also felt that Li Yifei was capable of fighting, but now it all depended on the Holy Maiden’s directions from his back. Thinking if they took out the Holy Maiden, Li Yifei wouldn’t be a threat to them anymore, so they all called out to the Holy Maiden aggressively.

"Husband, they want to kill me, oh my, I’m so scared," the Holy Maiden cooed from behind Li Yifei’s back, then tightly clung to Li Yifei’s neck, pretending to be terrified.

Li Yifei took a quick two steps forward, saying, "Then you have to tell me."

The Holy Maiden giggled, nibbled Li Yifei’s ear, and said, "Forget it, anyway they want to kill me, it’s your job to protect me. Honey, I’m tired, I want to find a place to sleep, I don’t want to play with them anymore."

Li Yifei laughed heartily and said, "Alright!" He turned around to face the four thugs.

Li Yifei suddenly turned around, scaring the four thugs into stopping their tracks, but before they could react, Li Yifei had already charged over, kicking all four to the ground, and even stomped on each of their heads, knocking them out immediately.

After finishing all this, the Holy Maiden showed no intention of getting down, clinging to Li Yifei, giggling, "Husband, I want you to carry me all the time."

"Alright, then I’ll keep carrying you." Li Yifei knew that seeing the Holy Maiden again might not happen soon, and he could also fully understand her deep affection for him, how could he refuse such a request, especially such a charming one.

First, he made a phone call to Lin Qiong, having her send someone to arrest these four people. These small merits wouldn’t bring Lin Qiong any significant benefits now, but they were still a contribution, solving cases is always good for a precinct chief.

Lin Qiong, unlike before, wasn’t so full of jealousy anymore, probably got used to the current lifestyle. Although she still had some hostility towards the Holy Maiden, that was something Li Yifei had to face, she wouldn’t interfere.

"Wife, let’s go, let’s find a place to sleep," Li Yifei said, only receiving a soft hmm from the Holy Maiden, who actually fell asleep on his back. This left Li Yifei with an indescribable feeling in his heart, not exactly happiness, nor sadness, but rather very complex.
