The Saintess was indeed mysterious, but Li Yifei had quickly accepted that. The Holy War Organization was a very peculiar organization to begin with, and the Saintess was an even more miraculous person. Not only the current Saintess but also the Saintesses of past generations had been the sa.
If it weren’t for the fact that the Saintess could now treat Xu Yingying’s illness, Li Yifei would really not want to bother with her. However, for the sake of his wife waking up sooner, even if it was the most dangerous thing, Li Yifei would definitely not frown upon it. And so, what of the Saintess? Li Yifei didn’t believe that if she truly harbored the intent to kill, she could actually take his life.
"Hey, it’s all gone," Li Yifei suddenly said.
"Ah!" The Saintess exclaid in shock, raising her umbrella in front of her in a fluster and with embarrassnt she said, "How could you peek at soone?"
Li Yifei laughed out loudly and said, "I didn’t peek, I was just looking openly."
"Pervert!" The Saintess spat at Li Yifei and said, "Hurry up and go down the mountain."
Again, Li Yifei laughed out loud, carrying Xu Yingying on his way down the mountain.
The Saintess followed behind Li Yifei, her gaze constantly on his back, blinking from ti to ti. Nobody knew what she was thinking at that mont.
By the ti they returned to the foot of the mountain, both of their clothes had dried. The Saintess was not worried about exposing herself to others. Even if she could make a fool of herself in front of Li Yifei, in the presence of strangers, no matter who it was, she was the angelically pure Saintess, who wouldn’t allow anything to happen that might damage her image.
She represented not only herself but also the entire Holy War Organization. Inside The entire Holy War Organization, the Saintess was a faith, a pillar of spirit. If sothing were to happen to her, the impact on The entire Holy War Organization would be indescribable.
In the following days, the Saintess continued to treat Xu Yingying every day, but there was still no progress. However, the relationship between the two did improve a bit. Most importantly, Li Yifei himself had also changed; no longer so gloomy, he could talk with the Saintess. But most of the ti, he still talked to Xu Yingying, even if she had no reaction at all.
Half a month later, another person arrived in the village - a beautiful woman. In the eyes of the villagers, the unconscious Xu Yingying was already a beauty, and the Saintess was even more stunningly beautiful. But now, this beauty who had arrived was comparable to the Saintess, and she was also from Huaxia.
This person was naturally Su ngxin. The only person who could rival the Saintess was indeed her.
Su ngxin had co alone, at least when she appeared at Li Yifei’s house, she was by herself. At that ti, the Saintess was treating Xu Yingying, and when Li Yifei saw Su ngxin, he was first surprised but then nodded at her, signaling her to be quiet.
Su ngxin also signaled back to Li Yifei and then stood by his side. She first looked carefully at Xu Yingying, feeling that she still hadn’t woken up. Then she looked at Li Yifei. The man, who now seed less haggard but clearly more weathered, had also beco more reserved and seed even more charming.
Su ngxin just watched Li Yifei, not wanting to divert her gaze for a mont. She hadn’t seen Li Yifei for over a month and was well aware that he wouldn’t be in any danger. However, she couldn’t help but worry about him. She had already used all kinds of connections to investigate Li Yifei’s whereabouts. The place Li Yifei had gone to was hidden, but before he went there, he hadn’t intentionally hidden his tracks. Su ngxin had still managed to find out, and after waiting so days and Li Yifei still hadn’t returned, she couldn’t stand it anymore and without informing others, she ca to find him sneakily.
Li Yifei knew he was being watched, and after a while, he finally reached out and took Su ngxin’s hand. He felt Su ngxin’s body tremble visibly, then gripped her hand more firmly and turned his head to see tears welling up in her eyes before she uncontrollably began to cry.
Li Yifei lifted his hand to gently wipe away Su ngxin’s tears, but her eyes filled with more tears than he could wipe away.
Holding Su ngxin gently by the waist, Li Yifei took her out of the room and held her in his arms, softly saying, "Don’t cry."
"Mmm," Su ngxin nodded repeatedly, then hugged Li Yifei’s waist tightly. She had thought that when she found him, Li Yifei might ignore her, and she had fully prepared herself psychologically. But Li Yifei hadn’t done so, and this truly excited her.
The two of them held each other for a while, then Su ngxin let go of Li Yifei, wiped her eyes, and said softly, "I won’t cry anymore, let’s go inside."
Li Yifei nodded and brought Su ngxin back into the room. By this ti, the Saintess had just finished her treatnt and was sitting there with her eyes closed, resting. After a little while, she opened her eyes and her gaze t Su ngxin’s, who was also looking at her.
Although the two won had never t before, their spirits had long been in communication. Now seeing each other, they both knew who the other was. As the two most beautiful won in the world, their first reaction was to see if the other was as beautiful as the legends said. Even though they had seen each other’s photos, it was certainly not as real as seeing the person in the flesh.
And at this mont, both thought the sa thing: the rumors were not unfounded; the other was indeed a beauty that could rival oneself.
"Saintess, I really didn’t expect to et you here," Su ngxin took the initiative to extend her hand.
The Saintess also extended her hand and they shook hands, the Saintess smiled gracefully, "I have a Huaxia na called Yanzi. Su ngxin, it’s a pleasure to et you in person."
"Yanzi, that’s a lovely na. Thank you for treating Yingying."
"What’s there to thank for? Yingying is Yifei’s wife, and this is my responsibility as well."
Both of them wanted to make clear their relationship with Li Yifei right from the start, speaking subtlety, but making sure the other understood perfectly.
"But as far as I know, Su ngxin, you haven’t truly beco Yifei’s woman yet," the Holy Maiden said, blinking playfully and smiling, "You’re still a virgin."
Su ngxin smiled faintly, saying, "To beco Yifei’s woman doesn’t necessarily require that kind of relationship to happen, what’s most important is a connection of the spirits."
"But you ca here quite late, why didn’t you co earlier? Were you afraid Yifei would bla you?"
"I know I have a great responsibility for Yingying’s injury, and I should take responsibility for it, which is why I ca here to keep Yifei company and take care of Yingying."
"Well then, it seems we are on the sa level now."
Su ngxin nodded and said, "Having soone like you as a rival makes really happy."
"I feel the sa," the Holy Maiden nodded in agreent.
Li Yifei didn’t bother with their conversation. He knew that this was the kind of scene that would unfold when these two t, and he didn’t need to watch it play out. What he cared about most was Xu Yingying; unfortunately, she still showed no reaction, just like before.
"Yifei, is there a chance Yingying will wake up?" Su ngxin ca to Li Yifei’s side and whispered.
Gazing at Xu Yingying, Li Yifei said softly, "Yanzi said she will wake up."
"That’s good, otherwise I really...", she trailed off.
Li Yifei took Su ngxin’s hand, saying, "I don’t bla you. This may just be one of Yingying’s trials. As long as she can wake up, that’s all that matters."
At that mont, the Holy Maiden interjected, "Today, I can actually bring you a bit of good news."
"What good news?" Li Yifei stood up abruptly, looking at the Holy Maiden with excitent.
With a slight smile, the Holy Maiden said, "Today, during my treatnt, she experienced a ntal fluctuation for the first ti. Although it was very weak, it was definitely a response."
"Really... really?" Li Yifei reached out, his hand flashing like lightning to grip the Holy Maiden’s shoulder.
Caught slightly off guard by Li Yifei’s swift action, the Holy Maiden was startled. Although he had taken her by surprise, his speed was too fast. Even if she wanted to dodge, it was impossible; it was as if, in her mory, Li Yifei wasn’t that strong. Was he hiding his true capabilities, or could it be that in monts of intense emotion, people can tap into so special potential?
"What, what you just said... wasn’t true?" Seeing the Holy Maiden not responding imdiately, Li Yifei tensed up, at a loss for words.
"Of course it’s true. It ans my thod is working. If we keep it up, your wife will wake up one day."
"Great! That really is good news!" Li Yifei’s lips quivered, and he suddenly looked up to the sky, otherwise his tears would have uncontrollably fallen due to his excitent.
"So should you properly thank tonight?" the Holy Maiden asked, smiling.
"Of course, of course! What would you like?" Li Yifei repeated readily.
"I haven’t eaten properly these days, and I hear your culinary skills are quite good. Could you maybe cook a al tonight, invite to dinner?" she requested.
"No problem!" Li Yifei imdiately agreed enthusiastically. With such good news, he was in high spirits; making a al was the least he would do, he wouldn’t hesitate to do even more.
Although the stronghold lacked a supermarket and only had a small store, it still had plenty of local produce. That afternoon, Li Yifei had gone alone up the mountain to gather so ingredients and made six dishes and one soup at ho that evening, which both the Holy Maiden and Su ngxin praised repeatedly.
Li Yifei hadn’t been able to taste his food these past few days, but today his appetite was voracious, and his face finally showed a happy smile.
After dinner, the Holy Maiden treated Xu Yingying again, and this ti she also felt Yingying’s ntal fluctuations, which evidently continued to develop in a positive direction.
After the treatnt finished, the Holy Maiden departed gracefully, not lingering or making a fuss about Su ngxin’s arrival. Two extrely intelligent won had beco enemies, but they certainly wouldn’t face off like ordinary won, directly opposing each other. Even if their conflict reached a heated level, they would always keep a smile on their
