Chapter 1082: Chapter 1125: Kiss of the Saintess

"Why?" Li Yifei looked at the Saintess puzzledly. It was the first time the Saintess admitted that conquering inner demons was impossible.

The Saintess rolled her eyes at Xu Shanshan and said, "Isn’t it because of you? All of a sudden, you’ve become so powerful, a great asset to Yifei. How am I supposed to defeat Yifei then?"

Xu Shanshan waved her fist at the Saintess and said, "I’m warning you, if you dare to cross my brother-in-law, I’ll forget our past and certainly kill you."

The Saintess gave a bitter smile and said, "Yes, that’s why I say it can’t be done."

Li Yifei looked at the Saintess seriously. "So, you still want to keep me as your inner demon?"

The Saintess helplessly said, "Once selected, the inner demon can’t be changed. If only I knew it would turn out this way, I wouldn’t have chosen you. Now it’s too late not to see you as my inner demon."

"But if you can’t defeat it, what’s the point of having this inner demon?"

Facing Li Yifei’s gaze, the Saintess said, "I’ve said before, if I fail, then I’ll just have to devoutly become your woman."

Xu Shanshan glared at the Saintess and said, "Then just say that, why bring up the inner demon?"

"But I have to try anyway, perhaps I have a chance," the Saintess winked and changed the topic, "Tell me quickly, how exactly should I handle that contract?"

Li Yifei smiled lightly, "It’s actually quite simple. First, break even for a while, then negotiate separately with the two parties. They should both know how much profit I’m making, and eventually, they will give me some leeway. Both sides compromise a bit, and I’ll have my margin by then."

Li Yifei made it sound simple, but in the business world, there was such a legend. Initially, a merchant did exactly this, not making money for half a year. Since he didn’t earn money continuously, both the demand and supply sides had a lot of profits and became friends with the merchant. They then asked the merchant why he did this, and the merchant explained honestly. Both sides thought the merchant was clever, and even giving him some profit was better than seeking new contracts elsewhere, so eventually, they both gave some profit to the merchant. By compromising this way, the merchant ended up earning more than other merchants.

The Saintess immediately smiled and said, "I understand now. I’ve seen this case too, but I really hadn’t thought of applying it in real practice. However, whether it can be successful in this era is still uncertain."

Li Yifei chuckled, "Yes, I’m just trying. Mainly because this is my starting point, that’s why I can go about it this way. If I’m really doing it, I wouldn’t do it this way."

"That’s great, your greatest strength is applying knowledge flexibly, unlike those rigid people."

Xu Shanshan proudly said, "That’s right, my brother-in-law is the most formidable man in the world, whatever he wants to do, there’s nothing he can’t do well."

"By the way, you just mentioned spending more time with my brother-in-law, what are you up to?" Xu Shanshan looked at the Saintess doubtfully, "You’re not planning to move into our house, are you?"

The Saintess smiled slightly, "Not for now, I need to go back and make some final preparations in a few days."

Xu Shanshan immediately asked, "What preparations?"

The Saintess’s smile brightened, "I need to make one last effort to break free from the inner demon, it all depends on my return trip now."

Xu Shanshan rolled her eyes at the Saintess, "Didn’t you say you were going to give up? You liar!"

The Saintess turned to look at Li Yifei, "If I were a woman who gave up easily, Yifei probably wouldn’t like me. If I don’t do my utmost, I’ll never be content. Even if I lose, I won’t sincerely be with Yifei."

Li Yifei looked at the Saintess and nodded, "Okay, do your best. Whenever it is, I’ll accept your challenge."

A special affection gleamed in the Saintess’s eyes, "Hmm, you really are a man worth loving. Choosing you as my inner demon, it seems no matter whether I win or lose, I am a victor."

Xu Shanshan snorted, "But it seems if my brother-in-law loses, then many people are the losers."

Li Yifei smiled proudly, "I will definitely not fail."

Xu Shanshan clenched her fists tightly, "Yes, my brother-in-law won’t fail, especially not with me by his side. Initially, I didn’t want to try hard, but now I will. I’ll defeat you alone when the time comes, and you won’t even have the qualifications to challenge my brother-in-law."

"Giggle, alright, Shanshan, I really look forward to your strength."

The Saintess was not worried at all, rather, she seemed quite excited. At her level, encountering strong opponents would not be disheartening, only exhilarating.

Xu Shanshan then asked, "When exactly are you coming back?"

The holy woman looked at Li Yifei and said, "I can’t say for sure now, maybe a month or two, maybe a year or two."

"A year or two, that long?" Xu Shanshan and Li Yifei both looked at the holy woman in surprise.

The holy woman playfully blinked and said, "It seems you will miss me a lot, I’m really so blessed."

Xu Shanshan pouted, and Li Yifei smiled slightly and said, "It’s normal to miss you, after all, you saved Yingying and shared life and death with us in the desert. It’s a rare friendship."

"Yes, we ate together, lived together, and before falling into Quicksand, you even kissed me. When we were underground, we didn’t even shy away when it came to personal matters..."

Li Yifei’s face darkened instantly, the holy woman was right; during the first few days underground, Li Yifei and the holy woman were very weak, and since it was so dark, straying a few steps could lead them to get separated, so even during personal moments, they dared not split up.

The relationship between Xu Shanshan and Li Yifei was naturally unremarkable, but the relationship between Li Yifei and the holy woman hadn’t reached that level, so at that time, it didn’t feel like anything, but now speaking of it, it inevitably seemed quite ambiguous.

The holy woman rested her right hand on Li Yifei’s shoulder, squinted her eyes, and said, "Yifei, no matter what happens in the future, this period of time really leaves me with an indelible memory, it feels very sweet when I think about it now."

"I also feel good about it," Li Yifei smiled slightly. Regarding the holy woman, he never hid his feelings, but to say he loved the holy woman, Li Yifei still couldn’t reach that point.

"Okay, I have to go now, aren’t you going to see me off?"

"You really want to go?" Li Yifei looked at the holy woman with doubt.

The holy woman chuckled lightly and said, "Do you plan to keep me in your company?"

Li Yifei couldn’t help but chuckle and said, "Alright, I will see you off."

Xu Shanshan didn’t move and said, "Alright, I won’t be the third wheel here, remember my kindness in the future."

The holy woman waved at Xu Shanshan and said, "Shanshan, you are my good sister, definitely my best sister in this lifetime, see you."

"Go on, stop being so sentimental," Xu Shanshan said impatiently, waving her hand.

Li Yifei and the holy woman walked out of the manager’s office. The holy woman naturally took Li Yifei’s arm, resting her head on his shoulder like a couple, and Li Yifei did not refuse.

Along the way, they ran into several company employees, all of whom looked at Li Yifei in surprise. Initially, Li Yifei came here with Ning Xin’er, and they thought Ning Xin’er was Li Yifei’s woman, but these days, they all knew that the company was merging into the Li Group, and Li Yifei was a big boss whose wife was Xu Yingying. Now being with such a stunningly beautiful blonde, they just couldn’t figure out the relationship between Li Yifei and this woman.

Li Yifei escorted the holy woman all the way to the company’s exterior, standing by the car, the holy woman looked at Li Yifei and said, "Can you sit in the car with me for a few minutes?"

Li Yifei, teasingly said, "It seems like there’s something good."

The holy woman smiled coquettishly and said, "You guessed right, you won’t refuse me, will you?"

"Of course not." Li Yifei took the holy woman’s hand and proactively got into the car.

The car was a luxurious stretch Mercedes; neither the driver nor the outside could see inside the car, providing an absolutely private space.

The holy woman and Li Yifei sat side by side, turning their heads to face each other, both smiling slightly, then the holy woman placed her hand on Li Yifei’s shoulder, leaning in to whisper, "Yifei, the last time in the quicksand, although you kissed me, we both thought we were going to die, and it was brief. I really didn’t savor what kissing feels like. Can I properly experience it this time?"

Li Yifei’s grin was radiant, "With a beauty offering a kiss, do I have a reason to refuse?"

The holy woman playfully smiled, "It’s up to you whether you want to refuse, I can’t force you."

Li Yifei suddenly pulled the holy woman close, pressing her body against his chest, and with a tilt of his head, he had already kissed her lips.

The body of the holy woman was exceptionally soft, practically bonelessly soft; holding her body left one immensely enthralling sensation, unimaginable if it had moved to the bed.

Li Yifei hadn’t had such thoughts about women for a long time; the women at home were all top-notch, and with them, Li Yifei was entirely satisfied in this aspect, so he had no interest in other women anymore. Only a woman like the holy woman could stir such thoughts within him and provoke such an impulse.

Indeed, the holy woman was a top-notch woman, the crème of the crop. Now, Li Yifei was even more looking forward to the heart demon affair, to truly let the heart demon of the holy woman be unbreakable, then this woman would really have to let him do whatever he desired.
