Chapter 1477: Chapter 1526 I Just Hope You Are Happy
Regarding Koboto Kobayashi, Li Yifei didn’t say much, he just briefly mentioned a few things, maintaining a sense of mystery. Koboto Kobayashi listened with his mouth wide open, is there really someone in the world who can have their heart stop beating, not breathe for six days, and then revive?
Is this still human? Koboto Kobayashi thought to himself, but no matter how he rationalized it, Li Yifei stood right in front of him, so Koboto Kobayashi believed it.
The two shifted the conversation to Motoharu.
Li Yifei recounted what happened that day, though Meng Xiaofei had already told the story, but no one’s version compared to Li Yifei’s, which left Koboto Kobayashi feeling tense and nervous.
One man, one gun, and he accomplished so much. He’s indeed like a war god!
In Koboto Kobayashi’s mind, Li Yifei wasn’t just a martial god anymore, but a war god, capable of anything.
"Now that there’s no threat from Yanagio Inujiro, can you still handle Motoharu?" Li Yifei smiled and asked.
Koboto Kobayashi mumbled a response, smiled awkwardly, and said, "I can, but... it’s a bit troublesome. He’s now nestled with his subordinates, making it hard to attack..."
"I promised you before that I’d help you deal with him. I keep my word, and once I’ve recovered for a couple of days, I’ll help you solve this problem!" Li Yifei said straightforwardly.
Koboto Kobayashi was overjoyed, nodding repeatedly and saying, "Mr. Golden Eagle, rest assured, as long as you are willing to help me, I’ll definitely fulfill the promises I made."
Killing a few people, earning two billion, and in US Dollars—of course, Li Yifei was happy. Although he wasn’t too focused on the sum of money now, once it reaches a certain amount, there are countless things one can do.
Forget regular planes, even fighter jets only cost a few hundred million dollars, particularly the highest-end ones like the U.S. F-16s. Even low-yield nuclear warheads cost only tens of millions to a billion.
With two hundred million, Li Yifei could do so much. The Li family’s fortune only amounted to two or three billion U.S. Dollars after struggling for so long.
The Sunx family’s assets combined would still be less than ten billion U.S. Dollars.
So, with his trip to Japan, Li Yifei acquired two billion dollars, and he personally thought it was quite worthwhile.
Even looking at Koboto Kobayashi felt like looking at a cash cow; this guy was truly willing to spend. However, Li Yifei had seen Yamaguchi Group’s income report: a pure income of this amount yearly. This organization truly deserved its reputation as a top global gang, helping him out this much and taking away a year’s income didn’t seem unreasonable.
Koboto Kobayashi didn’t dare to stay too long. Having secured Li Yifei’s promise, he returned to make preparations. A single Li Yifei was more useful than hundreds of well-equipped underlings, so let Motoharu go recruit more—I’ve got Li Yifei, the God of Death.
Smartly, he didn’t reveal the news of Li Yifei’s presence, slyly preparing to ambush Motoharu.
Li Yifei arrived at the hospital and looked at Sophia.
Sophia had been in a coma for some unknown reason. Many external injuries on her body had begun to heal, and there were no secondary infections, but she remained unconscious.
Li Yifei walked over, held Sophia’s hand, and infused a flow of True Qi. At this moment, Li Yifei was essentially at his peak condition. During the six days buried underground, his body naturally adjusted, repairing physical damage, healing internal injuries, and reconnecting broken meridians.
Sophia’s internal condition wasn’t any better than Li Yifei’s, but once Li Yifei infused True Qi into her, Sophia’s body exhibited a slight rejection, as if resisting Li Yifei’s True Qi.
"Hmm?" Li Yifei found it odd; he generated more True Qi to deliver it, and this time Sophia’s internal rejection disappeared. Li Yifei’s True Qi began circulating throughout Sophia’s body, aiding in rapid healing and wound recovery.
But the obstruction felt like a membrane, albeit not very strong.
Ten minutes later, Li Yifei stopped, and the continuously comatose Sophia’s eyelids slightly trembled, her eye movements visible, and Li Yifei patiently waited. Behind him, Meng Xiaofei and Aoki Reiko watched this scene excitedly.
Two or three minutes later, Sophia awoke, opened her eyes, looked at Li Yifei, her lips moved as she called out, "Master."
Li Yifei held Sophia’s hand, leaned in, and said with a smile, "Everything’s fine now, it’s all over."
Sophia nodded slightly, her eyes showing some excitement, her gaze going beyond Li Yifei to see Meng Xiaofei. Sophia the felt relieved; all three were here, none had met with misfortune—this surpasses all else.
Li Yifei stayed and chatted with Sophia for a while, then checked Sophia again. This time, when True Qi entered Sophia’s body, he encountered that obstruction again, but because Li Yifei was prepared, it was immediately broken through.
It was a strange phenomenon that Li Yifei couldn’t figure out for the time being. He just asked Sophia if she felt anything special in her body. Sophia shook her head and said no, so Li Yifei put down his doubts.
Li Yifei was back, and Sophia woke up. For Meng Xiaofei, this was definitely the best result. She seemed very excited all day, often grinning foolishly with joy.
Originally, Li Yifei was worried that Meng Xiaofei would be affected by the incident. After all, seeing so many dead bodies and experiencing such a dangerous chase, Meng Xiaofei might not be able to handle it. But as soon as he opened his mouth, Meng Xiaofei reversed the situation and comforted him, "Brother Li, Xiaofei is fine. Going through those things once is actually good, it can make a person grow."
"I just hope you’re happy." Li Yifei looked at Meng Xiaofei warmly and said, "The rest of the things, we can take care of."
Meng Xiaofei held Li Yifei’s hand, shook her head, and said, "But I can’t rely on you all forever, so it’s good to experience these things. The Meng Xiaofei now is different from the former Meng Xiaofei!"
Li Yifei opened his mouth as if to bite Meng Xiaofei’s hand. If it were before, the clever Meng Xiaofei would have immediately dodged, but now she just smiled at Li Yifei, making him reluctantly close his mouth.
Looking at Meng Xiaofei, Li Yifei felt like sighing, but he also knew that such a change was a good thing for Meng Xiaofei.
She truly has grown. After spending a whole day with her, Li Yifei felt a lot, a bit melancholic, but he was powerless to change it. After all, it’s impossible to make Meng Xiaofei return to her carefree and reckless state.
After picking up Sophia, everyone returned to Aoki Ryota’s house. With Li Yifei’s True Qi treatment, Sophia didn’t need to stay in the hospital. Morning, noon, and night, Li Yifei would come to treat Sophia and help with things like changing her bandages. These things could originally be done by Meng Xiaofei and Aoki Reiko, but Li Yifei took over.
It’s just... occasionally it was a little awkward for Sophia, after all, they had to be skin-to-skin, and some injured areas were particularly private.
The mindset now was different from when Li Yifei was about to fight Yanagio Inujiro. At that time, everyone was reluctant, fearing Li Yifei might not return, and hearts were opened, even Aoki Reiko’s. But now, she was very mindful of her words and even started to avoid suspicion.
Sophia squeezed her legs together, somewhat embarrassed as she watched Li Yifei attend to her. Her movements were still inconvenient, and she even needed Li Yifei’s help to use the bathroom. The first time, Sophia was downright mortified.
Thankfully, Li Yifei merely helped her sit on the toilet, and when undressing her, he always kept his eyes closed.
Even so, it made the famous female assassin feel very awkward, especially with the sound of water flowing while Li Yifei stood nearby; it always felt incredibly bizarre to her.
At the moment, Li Yifei was helping her change her dressing and also gently wiping her body. His movements were gentle and careful, and even though Sophia was nearly unclothed, Li Yifei’s gaze was not weird, nor did he fixate on inappropriate areas.
After wiping her body, he started giving Sophia a massage. With True Qi complementing his techniques, Sophia felt so comfortable she nearly hummed aloud.
After enjoying Li Yifei’s service, Sophia bit her lip and said, "Thank you, Master!"
Li Yifei grinned and tapped Sophia’s pointed nose, saying, "What are you thanking me for? It’s what I should do."
It’s what I should do. Sophia sniffled, overwhelmed with emotion. No one had ever treated her so kindly from childhood to adulthood. That kind of gentle action and gaze couldn’t be faked, and Sophia felt like she almost didn’t want to leave this feeling.
Li Yifei went out to get food for Sophia. After he left, Sophia laboriously raised her hand to a certain place, and found it was already soaked. She quickly grabbed a tissue to clean up, shaking her head repeatedly. How could she have such abnormal thoughts? Sophia, you need to see your own position clearly!
After serving Sophia her meal, Li Yifei ate as well.
It was already the second day after he was rescued, and Li Yifei’s body had recovered very well, even reaching peak condition.
Sophia was sleeping at the moment, while Li Yifei accompanied Meng Xiaofei and Aoki Reiko for a soak in the hot spring.
Meng Xiaofei was wrapped in a towel, leaning against Li Yifei’s arm with her eyes closed, fully enjoying herself.
Across from them, Aoki Reiko wasn’t surprised. Although acknowledged as a brother and sister relationship, she still felt Meng Xiaofei’s fall was only a matter of time.
Li Yifei was lost in thought, trying to recall what saved him that day.
Clearly, he was already devoid of the help of Innate Vital Energy, and that bit of strength from his body’s instincts was barely enough to fend off Yanagio Inujiro, let alone push him away and make a human-shaped pit on the stone.
What on earth saved him?
Li Yifei tried hard to remember what happened that day, the scenes replaying in his mind. At that time, he was shrouded in black energy. Whether his eyes were open or closed made no difference, and then, Yanagio Inujiro was about to bite his neck, planning to eat his flesh alive...
