Chapter 808: Chapter 848: This Is Way Too Bizarre

Li Yifei and the Saintess were both martial arts experts, but that didn’t mean they were impervious to rain. When the heavy rain fell, they would get drenched just like everyone else.

Additionally, there was Xu Yingying, and Li Yifei was especially unwilling to let Xu Yingying get wet. Fortunately, knowing the weather here was prone to rapid changes, and that it rained whenever it was forecasted to, Li Yifei had brought rain gear. While searching for shelter from the rain, he hurriedly opened an umbrella.

The rain came down furiously. No sooner had Li Yifei opened his umbrella than the downpour started, and the torrential rain was too much for one umbrella to handle for both of them.

Li Yifei quickly protected Xu Yingying, but it seemed to be insufficient. Another umbrella was raised, shielding Xu Yingying from above. It was the Saintess.

Li Yifei nodded gratefully at the Saintess, and in return, she smiled at him and pointed in a direction, saying, "There’s a bit of space underneath that large rock over there that should be suitable for shelter from the rain."

The two of them hurried in that direction, moving swiftly. Despite their quickness, neither allowed the rain to reach Xu Yingying. Only acclaimed experts such as themselves could accomplish such a feat.

Though the distance was only a bit over a hundred meters, by the time they reached the shelter of the jutting cliff, they were completely soaked, but thankfully, Xu Yingying remained dry.

The space wasn’t large, only about the size of a double bed. Li Yifei himself was wet, and while the front of his chest remained dry, hugging Xu Yingying meant his dampness would transfer to her. He quickly spread a blanket from his bag on the ground and set Xu Yingying down on it. These items were essential whenever he took Xu Yingying out, and it was only because of today’s heavy rain that they found themselves in such a predicament.

In the meantime, the Saintess had positioned both umbrellas at the entrance to the shelter and, using mud and rocks, had constructed a small dam to prevent rainwater from coming in and ground water from flowing in. This ensured the area stayed dry, although they couldn’t avoid the humidity in the air.

"Thank you." After settling Xu Yingying, Li Yifei turned to see all that the Saintess had done and couldn’t help feeling very grateful.

With her back to the wind, the Saintess stretched her hands out to rinse them with the rain, turned her head, and said with a smile, "What’s there to thank me for? I find this quite fun."

Li Yifei shifted closer to Xu Yingying and said, "Come over and sit down. You got wet too."

The Saintess nodded and replied, "It seems we get along quite well. You even care about me now." After finishing her words, she twisted her body and came to sit beside Li Yifei, but suddenly realized that his gaze was somewhat peculiar and quickly looked away.

The Saintess was momentarily taken aback but then realized what the issue was. She was wearing a white long dress made of a gauzy material that was normally opaque. However, once it got wet from the rain, it clung tightly to her body, revealing her graceful figure quite clearly.

The Saintess was not unfamiliar with rain, but she had never been drenched like this before. With her status, The entire Holy War Organization held her in great veneration, and she was always accompanied by numerous people ready to tend to her needs at the slightest hint of rain. However, she had come alone this time to break her heart demon.

In terms of ability, the Saintess certainly had no issues managing The entire Holy War Organization, which was flourishing under her leadership. Yet, in her personal life, she came across as rather clueless. She considered being caught in the rain amusing and hadn’t realized that her clothes could become revealing.

Suddenly, she clutched at her chest with both hands, turned her back to Li Yifei, but then realized her backside would be just as revealing. With Li Yifei able to see her, she panicked and darted out into the rain.

"Hey, what are you doing?" Li Yifei was taken aback and called out immediately.

"I..." The Saintess found herself at a loss for words. She had always maintained an air of superiority in front of others, never having been in such a humiliating situation before. Now, unsure of how to face Li Yifei, she hid behind the umbrella, letting the rain soak her.

At that moment, Li Yifei found the situation somewhat amusing. It turned out the Saintess was such a person—perhaps even a bit childish. He said, "Come back in; I won’t peek."

"You really won’t peek?" The Saintess asked from outside.

"Of course not. Why would I peek at another woman in front of my wife? I’m not asking to be slapped," he replied.

"Well then... okay." The Saintess slowly poked her head back in, seeing Li Yifei’s back turned to her. She hesitated before entering. Even for someone skilled in martial arts, it was uncomfortable to be drenched by the rain.

Having sat down, the Saintess looked at Li Yifei and gradually smiled, saying, "You know, Golden Eagle, with so many women around you, I always thought you were a very fickle man. But it seems you’re not."

Li Yifei gazed at Xu Yingying and said slowly, "If I weren’t too fickle, my wife wouldn’t be like this."

"Oh... But now you’re taking your wife out. What about the others? You’re not concerned about them?"

After a while, Li Yifei replied, "I don’t know, but right now, I don’t want to face them, nor do I dare to. With Yingying so injured, I can’t be happy around them; it would just make them uncomfortable to see me."

"Heh, you gave me quite the scare. I thought you were really going to abandon all your women. If that were the case, how could I break my heart demon?"

Li Yifei reached out and caressed Xu Yingying’s cheek, saying, "I guess it will indeed be very hard for you. If Yingying doesn’t wake up, my heart will definitely belong only to her. Even if Yingying wakes up, I will focus on her alone and won’t fall for any other woman."

"Well, then I definitely have to cure your wife."

"But I have promised you, and I will absolutely not break my word. Even if you can’t make my wife wake up, I won’t refuse your presence by my side. I’m just giving you a heads up."

"That’s what makes it fun. Although it’s more difficult than I expected, I must say you’ve gained another quality I admire. Speaking for myself, I might fall for you more easily; in fact, it might make things a bit easier."

Li Yifei slowly said, "If that’s how you feel, that’s the best possible outcome."

Rain in the mountains comes quickly, and goes just as quickly. After about ten minutes, the rain lessened, and a little while later it stopped completely, leaving the sky once again bright with sunshine.

Although the weather had cleared, the mountain was washed by the rain, the ground became quite muddy, and the branches and grass were covered with water droplets, making it unsuitable for basking in the sun here.

Li Yifei was reluctant to let Xu Yingying lie on the ground, so as soon as the rain stopped, he proposed they leave. The Holy Maiden had no objections, and the two of them packed up their things to descend the mountain.

The Holy Maiden, holding an umbrella in front of her, said, "You go ahead."

Li Yifei couldn’t help but smile and said, "Aren’t you trying to turn me into your Breaking Heart Demon? What is there to be afraid of?"

"Do you really want to see?" the Holy Maiden asked, gazing at Li Yifei.

Li Yifei’s words were just a reflex, a casual remark, and when confronted by the Holy Maiden, he felt quite embarrassed and apologetically said, "It was just a joke."

"Not bad, to be able to joke. It seems your mindset has improved somewhat, hasn’t it?"

Li Yifei lowered his head to look at Xu Yingying in his arms and said, "Yes, I should be doing better. Yingying wouldn’t want to see me like this, either."

"Of course. Seeing as she was willing to take a bullet for you shows how much she loves you. She certainly wouldn’t want to see you fall into despair because of her. She’d rather see you happy and cheerful."

Li Yifei gently kissed Xu Yingying’s face and said, "But without her waking up, how can I be happy? Even if she wakes up and scolds or hits me every day, I would still be joyous."

The Holy Maiden watched Li Yifei from behind as he tenderly gazed at Xu Yingying’s face. At that moment, Li Yifei was a man deeply in love, who had set aside everything for the woman he cherished, and this stirred an indefinable feeling of affection in her.

The Holy Maiden, in order to overcome her heart demon, had already opened her heart to Li Yifei, and she harbored not a bit of wariness towards anything about him. It’s often not that a woman can’t come to like a man because he isn’t good enough, but rather because of such wariness. And once that feeling of caution is gone, it becomes all the easier to fall for someone.

The Holy Maiden, revered by countless followers of the Holy War Organization and of a naturally noble status, would not speak of ordinary men entering her eyes. She chose Li Yifei, believing only the strength of Golden Eagle could truly move her heart, but until then, although she had seen some of Li Yifei’s actions, she could only say she admired him. But now, a thread of affection had truly begun to sprout in her heart.

The Holy Maiden could feel this change very clearly. The heart demon was indescribable, but whether she was moved or not was something she could definitely sense because the moment she genuinely fell in love, her heart demon would react immediately.

A sense of danger emerged behind Li Yifei. Holding Xu Yingying, he turned sharply, watching the Holy Maiden warily.

The Holy Maiden, however, had returned to normal and gave Li Yifei a faint smile, saying, "Your devotion has touched a chord in me. I’ve begun to like you."

"Like me?" Li Yifei looked intently at the Holy Maiden. The feeling of danger, although fleeting, was something Li Yifei was sure about, and it was coming from the Holy Maiden.

"Yes, because I like you, I’ve become emotionally involved, which has triggered my heart demon, giving me the impulse to kill you," the Holy Maiden said with a smile still on her face.

Li Yifei’s face darkened as he said, "That’s rather twisted, isn’t it?"

The smile on the Holy Maiden’s face deepened as she said, "It’s exactly that twisted. When my love for you deepens to its utmost, my impulse to kill will be beyond my own control, and without being able to restrain myself, I’ll end up killing you."

Li Yifei felt a chill down his spine; what kind of situation was this? To love so deeply yet feel the urge to kill the other person—this Holy Maiden was truly a demon.
