Super Soldier in the City-Chapter 1379 - 1428: New Expectations

In the evening, Xu Shanshan pulled Jiang Ningxiang to find Li Yifei, and brought him to the room for another check-up, with Xu Shanshan assisting and Jiang Ningxiang leading.

After seating the two, Xu Shanshan sat beside them, reaching out to place their hands together, simultaneously saying, "Brother-in-law, Ningxiang and you are in dual cultivation, and with the child as a link, your feelings should be deeper."

Jiang Ningxiang pursed her lips and nodded forcefully, Li Yifei responded with a hum, saying, "Let’s begin!"

The check-up started, similar to Xu Shanshan’s previous one, True Qi still circulated throughout the body. The two entered the magical realm of dual cultivation, connecting hearts seamlessly, understanding each other’s thoughts even without verbal communication.

Their bodies became transparent, appearing vividly in each other’s minds.

Not only could Jiang Ningxiang see Li Yifei, but Li Yifei could also see Jiang Ningxiang; he could see a little life growing in her abdomen, a tiny heart beating, growing every moment.

This feeling is quite wondrous, much more vivid than any ultrasound or color ultrasound.

The check-up took less time than Xu Shanshan’s, after all, it was more convenient for the couple.

However, the result was the same as Xu Shanshan’s; despite their connected hearts, they still couldn’t locate the Whole-hearted Worm.

Unable to even see the Worm, let alone remove it, Jiang Ningxiang felt very upset, holding onto Li Yifei’s hand, apologizing repeatedly. She was the best help to Li Yifei in this aspect, yet they found nothing in the check-up, making her feel she let everyone down and failed Li Yifei’s trust.

Li Yifei hugged Jiang Ningxiang, comforting her, "It’s not your fault, this Worm is naturally tricky, not finding it is normal. My dear, no crying, alright? Let me tell you, I was just observing our child; seems like he might be a son."

Jiang Ningxiang recently pregnant, it’s too early to determine a boy or girl, as it’s still an unformed mass, but Jiang Ningxiang felt warmth throughout, nodding and saying, "Husband, I... I’ll strive to cultivate, hopefully, with higher abilities, I can help you."

"Haha, good, we’ll tackle this Whole-hearted Worm together," Li Yifei laughed.

Xu Shanshan also came to comfort Jiang Ningxiang, slowly easing the young girl’s mood.

The news was passed to the other women, none blaming Jiang Ningxiang, instead comforting her. Just temporarily, hopes were dashed.

The next day, the Li family received good news, Yao Lingfu was coming.

Li Yifei started the day somewhat restless, Yao Lingfu was on a morning flight, arriving by noon.

The women, knowing this news, were all in good spirits, aware that Yao Lingfu was incredibly skilled, providing direction to remove the Coma Worm from Xu Yingying. Hence, upon learning of her arrival, the women even paused their strategy against the Sunx and Song families, merely setting plans, leaving execution to others, not a complete pause.

Everyone dressed up purposefully to welcome Yao Lingfu. Li Yifei watched with a smile, increasingly understanding the Whole-hearted Worm’s importance to everyone; without its removal, no one’s mind is fully at ease or completely happy.

Like Xu Shanshan, Jiang Ningxiang, even Lin Qiong and Su Mengxin, all who had met Yao Lingfu were curious about the white-haired yet youthful old lady. Li Yifei had mentioned, as long as everyone cultivates, they could be just as youthful even when old, perhaps even younger.

Li Yifei and Xu Shanshan personally went to the airport to receive Yao Lingfu, waited about an hour until her plane landed, further waiting soon saw Yao Lingfu pull a pink suitcase out from the terminal.

Li Yifei and Xu Shanshan waved, Xu Shanshan eagerly ran forward and hugged Yao Lingfu.

Li Yifei walked over, taking the suitcase, saying, "Elder Yao, thank you for your trouble."

Yao Lingfu gave him a sideways glance, took Xu Shanshan’s hand, then said, "You troublemaker, don’t you know I was on vacation? Haven’t even finished playing and you dragged me here."

"Ah...you weren’t in seclusion..." Li Yifei reflexively said, realizing his mistake, he quickly corrected, "My fault, but...this Worm is too troublesome, without solving it, my lifelong happiness is doomed."

Yao Lingfu laughed heartily, saying, "All the better, let these girls go practice in the mountains with me, so they won’t be spoiled by you."

Seeing Li Yifei embarrassed, Xu Shanshan clung to Yao Lingfu’s arm, saying, "Elder Yao, we can cultivate, but leaving my brother-in-law, that’s absolutely a no!"

Yao Lingfu chuckled mischievously, looking at Xu Shanshan, asking, "Would you be unwilling to leave your brother-in-law too?"

Xu Shanshan had thick skin, but Yao Lingfu’s question made her immediately shy, Li Yifei beside her laughed heartily, instantly earning a glare from Xu Shanshan.

After bringing Yao Lingfu home, the women were already at the door to greet them. As Li Yifei parked the car, the women gathered around.

After exchanging pleasantries, the women escorted Yao Lingfu inside. Li Yifei followed them, happily carrying the suitcase.

After lunch, Yao Lingfu and Li Yifei went alone into a room. The elderly woman reached out, placed her hand on Li Yifei’s head, and as he relaxed his body, he could feel a surge of True Qi entering his body.

When Yao Lingfu’s True Qi circulated through his entire body, Li Yifei had just opened his eyes when he noticed the old woman frowning. Her other hand formed a peculiar shape, pointing towards his forehead, and Li Yifei fell into a mysterious trance, feeling as if his body was floating, yet everything before him was pitch black.

This sensation was hard to describe, as if he was suddenly in a starry sky, unable to see the direction, and his body involuntarily completely relaxed.

Outside, the group of women gathered together, waiting anxiously for news. Even the usually lively Chu Xiaoyao was silent, fearing to disturb those inside, and the soon-to-be mothers Xiao Ling’er and Song Lianyao were waiting too, sitting on a bench with tense expressions.

Jiang Ningxiang and Xu Shanshan gathered together, holding hands. They couldn’t help Li Yifei but hoped Yao Lingfu could find a way.

After half an hour, Yao Lingfu opened the door, and the women immediately looked at her.

"Couldn’t find it!" Yao Lingfu shook her head, still frowning. Seeing the women’s sudden disappointment, she added, "I need to ask the one who breeds worms to understand the attributes of this worm. Also, now is noon, which is the time of day with the most yang attribute. The worm might have a yin attribute, so it is likely hiding at this time. I’ll check again at midnight tonight."

Upon hearing this, the women felt hopeful again, with smiles returning to their faces. Su Mengxin supported Yao Lingfu, asking, "Elder Yao, thank you for your hard work. Let me help you rest for a while."

"No need to rest, I’m not so weak yet. I heard you all were fighting with two small families. Go and attend to your affairs. Your husband’s situation, even if there is a way to solve it, won’t be resolved quickly."

Xu Shanshan looked into the room and asked, "Elder Yao, where is my brother-in-law? Why hasn’t he come out?"

Yao Lingfu replied, "He... will be fine after a nap. These days, he must be under a lot of mental stress and is not in a great state of mind. I let him relax a bit."

Hearing this, the women’s hearts trembled with sympathy for Li Yifei. They’ve been worried enough over this issue, and although Li Yifei appeared calm in front of them, he was more anxious than they were. Realizing this, the women were quite moved.

Xu Yingying walked over and closed the door, saying to Su Yiyi, "Yiyi, you stay to look after Yifei. We’ll chat with Elder Yao."

Li Yifei woke up to find himself under the covers, with a blanket over him. Not in a hurry to get up, he closed his eyes and recalled how Yao Lingfu hadn’t found the worm. He still remembered being enveloped in complete darkness, yet without fear.

After waking, Li Yifei felt much more relaxed. As he sat up, Su Yiyi entered the room. Seeing Li Yifei awake, she was delighted and hurried over. Li Yifei opened his arms, and while Su Yiyi was about to hug him, she hesitated and stopped in front of him, saying, "Honey, do you feel better?"

"Yes, I feel great after a nap!" Li Yifei took the young girl’s hand, pulling her close as he tried to kiss her. But she cupped his face in her hands, saying, "Honey, once you’re better, Yiyi will let you kiss as much as you want. For now, let’s hold back a little for your health, okay?"

Li Yifei understood her intentions but shook his head, saying, "I agree, but I need a kiss now!"

Su Yiyi had no choice but to pucker her little lips to peck him lightly and then quickly backed away. Li Yifei didn’t push further, holding her hand. As they arrived at Xu Yingying’s villa, they saw Yao Lingfu sitting cross-legged in the living room, facing east while practicing her breathing techniques.

Everyone else had gone about their own affairs. As Li Yifei approached, Yao Lingfu opened her eyes.

Noticing Li Yifei looking around, Yao Lingfu spoke up, "I told them to go about their business. What would I, an old woman, accompany them for anyway? Plus, I need to cultivate."

"Alright then, thank you for the trouble, Elder Yao. But, regarding the outcome..."

Yao Lingfu gestured to the nearby sofa, and Li Yifei sat down.

"It’s quite troublesome. I used a secret method to enter your mental space, but I still couldn’t find the Whole-hearted Worm. However, it wasn’t entirely fruitless. I’ll check again at midnight. Also, I’m planning to meet the young Miao girl you brought back."

Hearing this, Li Yifei nodded gently, not feeling too disappointed since there was still hope.

"Na Yi... doesn’t speak Chinese very well, so communication might be a bit tricky," Li Yifei voiced his concern.

"No worries!" Yao Lingfu smiled slightly and then spoke a phrase. Li Yifei’s eyes widened in shock, unable to speak. Yao Lingfu was actually speaking in the Miao language.
