Chapter 1479: Chapter 1528: Reactions from All Sides
At home, Na Yi was tending to the flowers and plants in the Worm King’s garden, tidying up. It was already early summer, and the flora was more lush than before. Walking amidst them, Na Yi’s mood improved significantly.
However, upon arriving in front of the Worm King Xiaowu, Na Yi frowned. Her heart suddenly felt uneasy, a familiar sensation. Immediately, Na Yi understood that Li Yifei was doing something.
This discovery didn’t make Na Yi feel sad, on the contrary, she felt happy this time because it meant Li Yifei was fine.
Na Yi also knew that Li Yifei hadn’t contacted the family for several days. She wasn’t in a position to speak to Li Yifei directly, only heard bits of news about Li Yifei from Su Yiyi and a few other women, but no one knew exactly how Li Yifei was doing. Intuition told the women at home that something must have happened to him; otherwise, he wouldn’t have lost contact.
Once this situation arose, Na Yi immediately confirmed that Li Yifei was truly okay. As for whom he was doing such things with, Na Yi didn’t care as long as he was fine.
Na Yi no longer thought about having Li Yifei all to herself. After joining the Li family’s large family, Na Yi understood the joy of sharing more deeply.
The process didn’t last long before Na Yi’s frown relaxed. A happy smile appeared on her face, and she greeted Worm King Xiaowu in Miao language before walking out of the garden.
She happened to meet Xu Yingying, and Na Yi said, "Sister Yingying, I felt my husband..."
The Xu Family Sister could feel each other, while Na Yi could feel Li Yifei, even though the method was somewhat hard for everyone to accept.
Xu Yingying blinked twice and then understood what Na Yi meant. She quickly asked, "Na Yi, did you just feel that?"
Na Yi shared her feelings softly and shyly. Since Li Yifei was doing such things, she naturally felt shy, especially as she turned around to tell Xu Yingying, feeling like she was gossiping.
After listening, Xu Yingying blinked twice, then suddenly smiled, patted Na Yi’s shoulder, and said, "Na Yi, you need to understand Yifei in this regard."
Upon hearing this, Na Yi knew Xu Yingying misunderstood her intent and quickly shook her head, saying, "Sister Yingying, that’s not what I meant. I want to tell you... my husband should be fine, otherwise he wouldn’t be doing such things."
Xu Yingying’s mouth opened slightly, moved gently, then burst into laughter, saying, "That’s true; if he can do that, it means he’s fine..."
Thinking this way, Xu Yingying also felt much relieved. These few days, all the women had been quite worried about Li Yifei. After comforting Na Yi for a while, Xu Yingying went on to her tasks, and Na Yi returned to her room, lost in thought, seemingly thinking about Li Yifei, also pondering over her future interactions with him.
Li Yifei didn’t persist for long; his hand was almost reaching Meng Xiaofei’s final line of defense—her sparse forest—but he stopped his advances.
The witch worm inside him surprisingly didn’t explode into action. Although his heart was aching, compared to previous pains, this level he could entirely endure, even without a special effort to resist.
So, where did the witch worm go? Why did it stop suddenly bursting out? Li Yifei was sure that he was driven by emotion and desire, and his lower body was responding, pressing against Meng Xiaofei’s hips, yet such excessive actions didn’t trigger the witch worm’s outbreak?
He paused, frowning, contemplating while sensing internally using True Qi.
Meng Xiaofei was sitting on Li Yifei’s lap, could feel his physical reaction, and see his facial expressions and rapid breathing.
Seeing Li Yifei suddenly stop and fall into deep thought, Meng Xiaofei also slowed her breathing down, afraid of disturbing Li Yifei.
After a minute, Meng Xiaofei gently moved out of Li Yifei’s embrace, sat aside, grabbed the towel from the shore, and wrapped it around herself, covering up her exposed body.
Beside them, Aoki Reiko had a flushed face; even with her vast experience, she was somewhat overwhelmed.
Meanwhile, Aoki Reiko thought in her mind, if it were him, facing such a situation, or a novel-like poisoning incident requiring her body to save, would Aoki Reiko immediately offer her body?
The answer immediately appeared in her mind; Aoki Reiko believed she would not hesitate to give herself, but the premise was there must be such an opportunity...
Thinking this, Aoki Reiko’s face turned even redder as she lowered her head to look at her reflection in the water surface.
Li Yifei’s exploration and contemplation took more than ten minutes. When he woke from his deep thought, Li Yifei grinned silently and stood up from the water with a splash.
The sudden movement startled Aoki Reiko and Meng Xiaofei, both of whom raised their heads simultaneously, showing an expression of surprise on their faces as they saw Li Yifei reach out a hand to pinch Meng Xiaofei’s cheek.
"Brother Li, you..." Meng Xiaofei was stunned at first, her face showing delight, but that quickly turned into astonishment. Aoki Reiko, a bit farther away, had a similar expression.
The cause of this was... When Li Yifei woke from his contemplation, he hadn’t checked his body, and when he was close to Meng Xiaofei earlier, the physical reaction hadn’t subsided. At this moment, his underwear was still propped up like a huge tent. While he was sitting in the water, the two women hadn’t noticed, but when he suddenly stood up, it was rather alarming.
Of course, the two women knew what that was, so their expressions changed from surprise to delight and then to astonishment.
Especially Meng Xiaofei, Li Yifei was standing right in front of her, with the small tent not far from her face, seemingly close enough to bite, so she didn’t know what to do.
Li Yifei lowered his head and noticed his awkwardness as well, quickly pulling back his hand, stepping out of the hot spring pool, hooking a bath towel with his foot, wrapping it around himself while walking out, and saying, "I’m going to make a phone call, you enjoy your soak."
Li Yifei’s call was to Murong Yuanqing; he hadn’t contacted Murong Yuanqing since his rescue.
The phone rang a few times, and Murong Yuanqing’s somewhat excited voice came through: "Hello? Is it Li Yifei? You brat didn’t die?"
Though the words weren’t very pleasant, they represented Murong Yuanqing’s excitement. Li Yifei chuckled and said, "It’s me, Elder Murong. I did survive."
"Hahaha, I knew you weren’t that easy to kill. Come on, tell me, did you defeat Yanagio Inujiro, or did you kill him? Been waiting for news from you for days; previously, whenever I called, a girl picked up, so I didn’t ask much," Murong Yuanqing quickly inquired.
Li Yifei recounted the process, but when he got to the sudden appearance of that mysterious group, Murong Yuanqing interrupted him, sounding bewildered, "Did you say someone was prepared early, planning to be the fisherman?"
Li Yifei replied, "Yes, I haven’t investigated this matter yet. Those people took Yanagio Inujiro away, but I don’t know if he’s alive now; at that time, he was quite miserable."
Murong Yuanqing smacked his lips, his eyebrows pulling together, saying, "This matter must really be taken seriously. The key is that Yanagio Inujiro knows how to create Pseudo Masters. If utilized by someone with ulterior motives, it wouldn’t be good."
"That’s what I’m worried about, but I just got rescued and haven’t had time to deal with this," Li Yifei said, somewhat troubled.
Murong Yuanqing acknowledged with a grunt, saying, "Alright, I’ll have someone investigate first. You focus on getting better."
Li Yifei’s voice suddenly became louder, shouting into the phone, "Hey hey hey, Elder Murong, my life belongs to myself, you can’t make me risk my life like this. This time, I barely escaped from death, buried in the dirt for five or six days before being rescued. I’ve told you about this; the rest is beyond me. I have a bunch of things to deal with on my side."
Murong Yuanqing waved his hand, saying, "Never mind, you handle your own business. We’ll talk about this later. Whoever took Yanagio Inujiro away, as long as it doesn’t threaten Huaxia, that’s fine. If they dare to threaten Huaxia, I don’t believe you wouldn’t help."
"What you say makes so much sense, I can’t argue," Li Yifei thought to himself, his mouth moving but unable to voice his thoughts.
Originally supposed to hang up the phone, but Yao Lingfu happened to walk by, heard it was Li Yifei, directly pushed Murong Yuanqing aside, and snatched the phone, asking, "Li Yifei?"
"Elder Yao, it’s me," Li Yifei adjusted from the pleading mode he was in earlier and spoke calmly.
Upon hearing Li Yifei’s voice, Yao Lingfu felt relieved. She had been in contact with Na Yi recently and learned Na Yi was safe, so she wasn’t worried about Li Yifei. However, since he was in Japan, the communication was unstable, and they hadn’t gotten any news directly from Li Yifei, so everyone was still concerned.
Li Yifei reiterated the situation to Yao Lingfu again, this time receiving a much calmer reaction, with Yao Lingfu smiling faintly, "I knew you could do it. Well done, taking down Yanagio Inujiro reduces a Master for Japan. From your description of the changes, even if Yanagio Inujiro survives, he’s likely a cripple, so no need to worry."
Yao Lingfu didn’t seem overly concerned about that mysterious group suddenly appearing and taking away Yanagio Inujiro. She didn’t say much because she could already see Murong Yuanqing muttering to himself, arranging investigations with the phone in his hand.
Li Yifei then shared his speculations with Yao Lingfu. These were conclusions he reached through examination earlier, and since Yao Lingfu was there, he asked her.
