Chapter 826: Chapter 867 Thoroughly Subduing Sophia

Lin Qiong had been extremely frustrated with her work recently, as the case had made no progress. She was already in a bad mood and had wanted to chat with Li Yifei to vent, but now that Sophia had spoken, her anger intensified. She snapped, "You think you can kill me? Just try it!"

Sophia disdainfully replied, "With your capabilities, it would be too easy for me to kill you."

Li Yifei subtly moved to block Sophia, knowing all too well the unpredictability of this woman’s Flying Dagger. If she were to lash out, he wasn’t completely sure he could handle it. He quickly said to Sophia, "You leave first, I’ll find you later."

Sophia snorted, "I’ll say it again—if you don’t let me be your woman, I’ll kill all your women."

Li Yifei glared and said, "Since you’ve put it that way, let’s fight again in a moment."

"Good!" Sophia’s eyes brightened. "Then I’ll wait for you. I won’t stoop to her level anymore."

How could Lin Qiong tolerate that? She angrily retorted, "What makes you think you can disregard me? If you dare harm anyone, I’ll definitely arrest you."

This time, Sophia didn’t retort. The thought of fighting Li Yifei soon excited her immensely, making the quarrel with Lin Qiong seem trivial.

Ignored by Sophia, Lin Qiong felt her anger well up with nowhere to vent, only managing to glare at Li Yifei and say, "Great, playing from both sides, huh? Think that with Yingying out cold and nobody to rein you in, you can do whatever you want?"

Li Yifei chuckled dryly, "That’s not true, don’t listen to her nonsense."

Seeing that Li Yifei still seemed to be siding with her when he spoke, Lin Qiong felt somewhat relieved and said, "If you’re going to fight, then go now. I want to see how you handle her."

Li Yifei readily agreed, and the three of them went to a secluded spot with enough open space for a showdown.

Standing about ten meters apart from Li Yifei, Sophia’s expression was solemn. Her hands rested by her sides as she said, "This time I will give it my all."

Li Yifei slightly smiled, "Then go ahead and give it your all. Also, just a reminder, I won’t just be dodging this time—I’ll be fighting back."

"Good!" Sophia’s eyes shone even brighter.

"And I’ll be using Hidden Weapons too, so you better watch out."

"You’re using Hidden Weapons too?" Sophia looked at Li Yifei puzzled.

With a flick of his hand, a streak of cold light flashed. Simultaneously, Sophia flicked her hand and a tiny needle appeared between her fingers. Surprised, she stared at Li Yifei and exclaimed, "You actually know how to use Hidden Weapons?"

Li Yifei slightly smiled, "Did you think only you knew how to use Flying Daggers? Today, let me show you my Hidden Weapon skills and teach you that there’s always a higher mountain."

Discarding her Flying Needle, Sophia proudly declared, "Fine then. If you can beat me with Hidden Weapons, I’ll willingly follow you from now on, obeying your orders without any second thoughts."

Hearing this, Li Yifei was overjoyed. He had been waiting for these words from Sophia, knowing that if he couldn’t make her completely submit, she would always be a ticking time bomb. However, if he truly won her over, she would be a tremendous asset. After all, finding someone as skilled with the Flying Dagger as Sophia was rare in the world.

Initially, Lin Qiong had many complaints about Sophia, but now she dared not entertain such thoughts. In her mind, Li Yifei was an extraordinarily powerful enigma, likely unmatched in the world. But seeing Li Yifei’s serious demeanor, she realized just how formidable Sophia was. When Sophia threatened to kill her, it was not just tough talk - it could happen in minutes.

Watching these two masters duel was also an incredible opportunity for Lin Qiong. Her eyes were wide open, afraid to miss a single moment.

Li Yifei and Sophia didn’t attack immediately but rather stared each other down, their muscles tense and ready. At this moment, any small opening could lead to a lethal Hidden Weapon strike from the opponent.

A north wind blew, causing a few remaining dry leaves on the trees to fall and drift between them just as they both made their move.

In an instant, the sound of piercing through the air amplified as Flying Daggers and Flying Needles tore through the air with a shrill sound, targeting each other. Midway, most of the needles and daggers collided, sparking a series of sparks and creating a chorus of metallic collisions.

Lin Qiong couldn’t make out the trajectory of the Hidden Weapons, only able to see Li Yifei and Sophia dodge and weave with continuous hand motions. This spectacle reminded her of a Jet Li movie, "The New Shaolin Five Ancestors", where the deities in their respective battles showcased a similar style in their Hidden Weapons contest.

At that time, Lin Qiong thought such a display was purely fictional; improbable in real life. How could someone master Hidden Weapons to such an extent? Now, witnessing it firsthand, the intensity exceeded even the depictions in movies.

From the sound of the Hidden Weapon cutting through the air, and the sparks it created, Lin Qiong knew just how powerful this Hidden Weapon was. Although not as fast as a bullet, its force was enough to penetrate a person’s body with lethal effect. If one were not careful and got struck by the Hidden Weapon, it could truly be life-threatening. In that moment, she grew extremely worried about Li Yifei, hoping that nothing bad would happen to him.

The noise of the Hidden Weapon impact suddenly stopped, and Li Yifei and Sophia also ceased their movements, standing still on the ground, staring at each other like two statues.

Lin Qiong’s breath nearly stopped, unsure of the outcome and not daring to ask aloud. She could only watch the two intensely, especially Li Yifei.

"Admit defeat?" Li Yifei suddenly asked.

Lin Qiong’s heart at once settled, hearing Li Yifei speak meant that he had won.

Sophia suddenly clutched her abdomen, her body slightly swaying, and said, "You...held back last time."

Li Yifei gave a faint smile and replied, "We have no deep hatred, and I remembered the time you helped me save someone, so I spared you some face. But now that you keep pestering me, I had to do this."

Li Yifei walked up to Sophia and asked, "Do you need help?"

"No need!" Sophia shook her head, slowly sat down, and lifted her shirt, revealing her abdomen. A few needles, with their ends sticking out, were embedded around her navel, the rest deep within her flesh. This was the result of her instinctively tightening her stomach muscles when hit. If it were anyone else, those needles would have disappeared into the body.

With a swift motion, Sophia pulled out the needles, blood traceable on them, and then tucked them into her pocket, saying, "I’ll keep these needles to remind me that I’m not the strongest and that I still need to work hard."

"Heh, you’re already very strong; I barely managed to beat you," Li Yifei said sincerely, admitting that he was only slightly better than Sophia in that regard.

Sophia, not severely hurt, stood up and said to Li Yifei, "From now on, I’m your subordinate; I’ll do whatever you tell me to do."

Li Yifei didn’t bother with courtesies and replied, "Good, just keep doing what I’ve told you to do. When there’s something else, I’ll let you know."

"Yes!" Sophia agreed, then gave Lin Qiong a glance before turning and leaving directly.

After Sophia had gone, Lin Qiong looked Li Yifei up and down and then suddenly punched him hard on the shoulder, exclaiming, "You freak!"

"Hey, how am I a freak again?" Li Yifei rolled his eyes.

Lin Qiong gave Li Yifei a glare and said, "With your skills, what else could you be but a freak? You’re practically inhuman." Yet her eyes shone with eagerness and excitement.

"Does this make you want to throw yourself at me?" Li Yifei winked at Lin Qiong.

Lin Qiong snorted, suddenly pounced on Li Yifei, hugging him tightly, and said, "You’re right, I want you!"

"Really? Here?" Li Yifei’s eyes widened.

"If you don’t mind the downside, letting your woman be seen naked by others, then I have no objections. You find the place; I can’t hold back anymore, and if you don’t hurry, I might just overpower you."

"That won’t do; that loss would be too great. I’m quite stingy, and besides, you are Director Lin, a role model for fighting crime. I can’t let you have any negative news." He then picked Lin Qiong up and rushed towards a nearby hill.

This was a wild romp, under the sky as their roof and the earth as their bed, the two passionately engaged in that thing, Lin Qiong going wild, demanding again and again, her combativeness stronger than ever.

Even with Li Yifei’s strong body, he eventually begged for mercy from Lin Qiong. Usually, he could overwhelm her; but this time, he truly lost.

Lin Qiong, though exhausted, felt indescribably proud of defeating Li Yifei in this manner and said with pride, "I finally made you beg for mercy."

Li Yifei chuckled and replied, "I hope you beat me every time."

Lin Qiong spoke languidly, "Once is enough; it’s really too tiring. It’s better to let you take care of me properly."

"Ha-ha, my Little Qiongqiong is really getting more womanly." Li Yifei had always liked Lin Qiong, especially her straightforwardness.
