Chapter 795: Chapter 835: Lay It All Out

"Brother-in-law, do you know this woman?" Xu Shanshan had been by Li Yifei’s side and was also stunned by the beauty of the woman, but quickly noticed the strange expression on Li Yifei’s face and immediately asked in a low, alert tone.

Li Yifei gave a bitter smile and said, "I do. She’s big trouble." The Holy Maiden had arrived, and even though she hadn’t spoken to him yet, it was only a matter of time before this could no longer be concealed. Moreover, he didn’t feel guilty about this matter, and he was certain that this Saint wouldn’t resort to extreme measures against Xu Yingying and the others. He wasn’t worried about their safety, so it was even more important to deal with this issue together with them.

"Damn brother-in-law, are you even capable anymore? You’ve even hooked up with someone abroad." Xu Shanshan was instantly both angry and annoyed, pinching Li Yifei harshly. It wasn’t just about jealousy; the golden-haired, blue-eyed beauty instilled a strong sense of insecurity in Xu Shanshan.

"Don’t get me wrong, I don’t have anything to do with her, but I guess she’s going to cling to me non-stop," Li Yifei explained in a soft voice.

"Really? Nothing at all?" Xu Shanshan asked incredulously.

"Really, if I’m lying and you expose me later, what would that make me?"

"Well, that’s not too bad then," Xu Shanshan immediately showed a smile but still asked cautiously, "So what exactly is the deal with that woman and you?"

"It’s not something I can explain in a sentence or two. I’ll tell you about it when we get home. I’m going to greet her now. If she pretends, I won’t play along," Li Yifei said, patting Xu Shanshan on the shoulder before heading straight towards the Holy Maiden.

"You’re here already?" Li Yifei stood in front of the Holy Maiden, his face bearing a mocking smile.

"Huh, you actually initiated a conversation with me. I was afraid of bothering you and your family, so I didn’t greet you," the Holy Maiden said, her face breaking into a sweet smile.

All at once, the people in the store turned their gaze towards Li Yifei and the Holy Maiden. The store wasn’t filled with only women, of course; there were men too, and although they couldn’t help but look at the Holy Maiden, no one had the nerve to approach and greet her.

When Li Yifei walked up to the Holy Maiden, the store fell silent, so even though their voices weren’t loud, everyone could hear them clearly. To their surprise, the two were acquainted, and everyone’s eyes widened with astonishment. To know someone like the angelic beauty of a Saint was considered a supreme honor.

At this time, Xu Yingying and Ye Yunzhu both felt very uncomfortable, but neither followed him because Li Yifei’s attitude towards that woman was clearly bad, and they still didn’t understand what was going on between them.

Li Yifei snorted and said, "This place isn’t suitable for you, and I don’t welcome you. You should go back to where you belong."

The Holy Maiden still wore that sweet smile and said, "How can I know if it’s not suitable for me if I don’t try? Besides, I’m very persistent in what I do. I absolutely won’t give up without achieving my objective."

"You definitely won’t succeed. I already have the person I like," Li Yifei said, moving towards Xu Yingying and the others.

Directly, Li Yifei said, "This is my wife Xu Yingying, Ye Yunzhu, and Su Yiyi. Yunzhu is even about to give birth. Do you really think you stand a chance?"

Xu Yingying, Ye Yunzhu, and Su Yiyi were all taken aback at the same time, and also felt a bit embarrassed. This was the first time Li Yifei had so openly introduced the relationship between them, and they clearly felt the strange looks from the other people in the store.

But Li Yifei’s words also let Xu Yingying and the others know that this woman wanted to cling to Li Yifei, yet Li Yifei did not hold her in high regard, and he wanted them to stand united with him.

Xu Yingying and Ye Yunzhu reacted quickly, each taking one of Li Yifei’s arms. Xu Yingying said to the Holy Maiden, "Hello, may I know what misunderstanding my husband has with you?"

The way Li Yifei spoke was already quite shocking, but the reaction of Xu Yingying and Ye Yunzhu was even more jaw-dropping. The patrons of the store were all stunned; the men were incredibly envious of Li Yifei’s luck with women, speculating that he must be a truly exceptional Mr. Tall, Rich and Handsome to have so many women following him; while the women felt somewhat contemptuous towards Li Yifei and the others for being so frank about such matters—it was truly against the heavens.

The Holy Maiden still wore that sweet smile and said, "I know, I’m only seeking love and have no need to compete with you all."

Li Yifei said sternly, "I’m sorry, but I won’t ever like you."

"I know you won’t like me now, but you have no right to prevent me from liking you, and the fact that so many women like you proves all the more that you have likable qualities."

These words from the Holy Maiden made Xu Yingying and Ye Yunzhu very uncomfortable. Yunzhu, frowning, interjected, "Madam, please have some dignity; this is Huaxia."

"I know you harbor hostility toward me, and I don’t expect you to understand, but I will do things my way. I won’t bother you anymore, Yifei, I will definitely fall in love with you, and you will definitely fall in love with me," she said. After that, the Holy Maiden gave Li Yifei another charming smile and drifted away.

The Holy Maiden’s act dampened everyone’s mood, and soon, they left the shop under the strange gazes of the other customers.

In the car, since Little Yifei was present, no one said much. But the moment they got home, and Little Yifei was sent to play elsewhere, they began to interrogate Li Yifei.

Li Yifei was straightforward, "This woman is the Holy Maiden of a Holy War Organization in America, the highest leader of that organization. She has countless followers in America. You might even say she’s like an underground president of the United States."

"What?" Everyone was stunned, not expecting the Holy Maiden to have such a significant background.

Li Yifei continued, "It’s a tradition for the Maidens of this organization to undergo a love tribulation to become an even stronger Holy Maiden. They have to fall in love with a man and then abandon him. By doing so, they can truly cut off their emotional ties. And for some reason, this woman has set her sights on me." He didn’t mention that the Holy Maiden also had to kill someone in the end as he didn’t want to worry the family. And he didn’t believe, with his attitude towards the Holy Maiden, that she would be successful.

"Isn’t that a bit too bizarre?" even Ye Yunzhu, who came from a prominent family, had never heard of such a thing.

Li Yifei gave a wry smile, "I only found out a few days ago. I thought it wasn’t real until she showed up on my doorstep."

Xu Yingying and Ye Yunzhu were just beginning to realize how troublesome this Holy Maiden was. Xu Yingying frowned and asked, "So what are you planning to do?"

Li Yifei shrugged his shoulders, "I’ll just cold-shoulder her. No matter what she does, I simply won’t engage with her. I don’t believe I can fall in love that way, and if she can’t fall in love with me, she’ll just have to leave dejectedly in the end."

Ye Yunzhu frowned slightly, "But didn’t you say her organization is very powerful? What if provoking her leads her to do something drastic?"

Li Yifei shook his head, "I don’t think that will happen. Even if it does, I have nothing to fear. The Holy War Organization’s reach isn’t long enough to stretch into Huaxia."

After Xu Shanshan understood the situation, her eyes darted around and she sneaked back to her room to call Su Mengxin.

"Sister Mengxin, big trouble," Xu Shanshan exaggerated as soon as the call connected.

"What’s wrong?" Su Mengxin was quite calm, able to tell from Xu Shanshan’s tone that there was nothing particularly urgent.

"A blonde foreign beauty from the Holy War Organization in America has come here and is actually chasing after our brother-in-law."

"The Holy Maiden... she has taken a liking to Yifei?" The news surprised Su Mengxin, who was well aware of who the Holy Maiden was, but unaware of the affair of the Holy Maiden’s heart demon. Hearing that the Holy Maiden was pursuing Li Yifei was quite astonishing to her.

"It’s not just liking, it seems she needs to overcome some sort of heart demon, and she’s chosen our brother-in-law for that. She intends to make him fall for her, and her for him. I fear for my sister and Yunzhu who don’t look quite the match for the Holy Maiden. If you don’t step in, this problem might not be easily resolved," said Xu Shanshan.

Unable to help herself, Su Mengxin laughed, "Heart demon, that sounds a bit like a fantasy novel, doesn’t it?"

"Exactly, but that’s what brother-in-law said, and he didn’t seem to be lying. Sister Mengxin, you should come quickly. My sister and the others could easily be outmatched. That woman is truly... too beautiful, like an angel. Only you, an ethereal fairy, can compete with her. Let’s have a battle between the fairy of Huaxia and a foreign angel. Let her lose her wings and crawl back where she came from."

"Hehe, alright, I’ll hurry over once I’ve wrapped things up here."

After hanging up, Su Mengxin narrowed her eyes, looking quite amused. She was very clear about who the Holy Maiden was. Both women were known as the current era’s two great beauties in high society circles. Even though they hadn’t met in person, Su Mengxin considered them as spirit acquaintances. What she hadn’t expected was for their first encounter to involve Li Yifei, an intriguing twist.

Whether it was Xu Yingying or Ning Xin’er, Su Mengxin had never considered any of the women around Li Yifei as her rivals before, but she made an exception for this Holy Maiden. With such an opponent, Su Mengxin was invigorated at the prospect of a showdown.

"Holy Maiden, let’s see then who will emerge victorious in the end," Su Mengxin murmured with an indiscernibly rich smile on her face.
