Chapter 1456: Chapter 1505: Aoki Reiko Has an Appointnt
The call was from Aoki Reiko, which slightly surprised Li Yifei, but he still chose to hang up.
A few seconds later, the phone rang again. Li Yifei frowned and picked it up this ti.
As soon as the call connected, Aoki Reiko’s distinctive voice ca through, "Hello, is this Li Yifei?"
"Yes, it’s ," Li Yifei replied.
Aoki Reiko was delighted and asked, "Are you in Japan?"
Li Yifei responded, "Yes, I just arrived."
Aoki Reiko quickly said, "Then why didn’t you co to our house? I... haven’t seen you for a long ti, I miss you very much."
Li Yifei chuckled, "I’m here for sothing this ti, I’ll co over after I’m done."
On the other end, Aoki Reiko pouted, a little disappointed, but she persisted, "Just for a while, you can handle your business after dinner, and if there’s any trouble, Daddy can help you out. In Japan, it’s more convenient for us."
Seeing Li Yifei’s silence, Aoki Reiko added, "If you co, I will cook personally. I just bought a lot of seafood today; I can let you taste my cooking. I have been learning for a long ti and even specifically consulted chefs from Huaxia, so it should suit your tastes."
Li Yifei pondered whether it was appropriate to visit Aoki Reiko’s house at this ti.
"Does your father also know I’m here?"
"It’s Daddy who told
this news, and he asked
to call you and invite you over."
"Your father doesn’t know what I’m in Japan for, right?"
Aoki Reiko paused, shook her head, and said over the phone, "No, but Daddy said you are our family’s benefactor and a friend. It wouldn’t matter to anyone if Aoki Family hosts a friend."
Since Aoki Reiko had said so, Li Yifei no longer declined and said, "Alright, I’ll co over later."
"Great, I’ll head to the kitchen to prepare now, so when you arrive, the food will be ready. Oh, let
know half an hour in advance, or else so dishes won’t be as fresh."
"Alright, go get busy."
Li Yifei hung up the phone, and the image of Aoki Reiko appeared in his mind, making him smile. He hailed a taxi and ntioned his place of residence.
Returning to his place, Li Yifei bumped into the hotel owner as he stepped inside. The old man gave him a thumbs-up while glancing inside. Li Yifei imdiately understood the intention, laughed, waved, and walked in.
Sophia was lying on the bed, staring out the window in a daze. Hearing footsteps, she quickly stood up and looked toward the door.
As Li Yifei pushed the door open, he saw Sophia looking at him with wide eyes. He smiled and asked, "How are you feeling?"
"Much better, I think I’m alright now." Sophia said, took a few steps on the ground, and even stomped to show she was fine.
Li Yifei pointed at the bed and said, "Go sit, I’ll apply so more dicine for you."
Sophia agreed, walked to the bedside, and sat down. She reached to take off her pants but stopped, looking at Li Yifei. Seeing that Li Yifei had already turned around to find the dicine and bandages, Sophia pouted, quickly removed her pants, looked at the bandaged area on her thigh, and said, "Master, I’m ready."
Li Yifei returned, squatted down, and was greeted with a unique fragrance. He took a couple of breaths and imdiately guessed the scent; it was a very distinct Chanel perfu whose na he couldn’t rember, but won at ho had used it before.
He couldn’t help but look up at Sophia. An important rule for a killer was not to have any foreign scents on them, as it would bring a lot of inconvenience to assassination missions.
Sophia noticed Li Yifei’s action and turned her head to the side, not offering an explanation.
Li Yifei smiled silently, keeping his eyes near the wound without looking around. Even without looking, he knew Sophia must have shaved. It wasn’t just the smoothness of the legs; even so private areas must have been handled, and it was recently done since yesterday, when he helped treat Sophia’s wound, he saw a few mischievous hairs peeping out.
This was a racial trait, and Li Yifei didn’t pay much attention to it. He removed the bandage on Sophia’s leg and found that the wound had grown significantly in a day, shrinking by a third. In another day or two, it should be healed.
It was already very fast, thanks to Sophia’s strong body and his True Qi playing a role.
After applying the dicine and re-bandaging, Li Yifei stood up.
Sophia suddenly asked softly, "Master, does the perfu sll bad?"
"Hmm, what?" Li Yifei wasn’t paying attention and didn’t hear clearly.
Sophia’s face ward up, and she quickly said, "Nothing."
Li Yifei instantly realized what she was asking and replied, "It’s fine, just unexpected."
Sophia’s expression instantly brightened, and she nodded repeatedly, "The seller said this scent is nice too."
Li Yifei simply sat down and started discussing perfus with Sophia. He knew many brands, whereas Sophia was rather naive in this area. However, if it were about weapons, firearms, or how to assassinate soone, Sophia would be eloquent.
So, she widened her eyes and listened to Li Yifei throughout. At first, she concentrated on rembering, like when Li Yifei ntioned Chanel No. 5 as a more classic choice, Sophia thought she might try it next ti. But as the conversation went on, Sophia couldn’t keep track.
The discussion moved from perfu to clothing and then to won’s luxury goods.
Sophia nodded like a bobblehead, full of admiration.
She thought to herself, no wonder Master is such a lady-killer; having so many won at ho and winning them over one by one makes sense.
Ti passed slowly, and before she knew it, it was evening. Li Yifei checked the ti and said, "Alright, today’s lesson on luxury goods ends here."
"Master, are you going out?"
"Yes, the Aoki Family has invited
for dinner."
"Oh, then you go ahead, Master. I’ll wait for you to co back."
"Wait for what? Put on so clothes and co along." Li Yifei waved his hand, pointing to Sophia’s thigh.
It was only then that Sophia realized she hadn’t been wearing pants the whole afternoon, just a pair of underwear, chatting with Li Yifei until now. Realizing this, Sophia hurriedly covered her mouth, stood up, and grabbed her pants to put them on.
As for why she covered her mouth, even Sophia didn’t know why.
Li Yifei waited for Sophia to get dressed, then headed out with her.
The innkeeper seed to be waiting there on purpose, and when he saw them coming out together, his eyes lit up. This ti, he raised both thumbs, muttering sothing under his breath.
Before Li Yifei could respond, a slipper flew over, hitting the old man on the head. A robust woman followed, pulling the old man away while shouting sothing, which Li Yifei guessed wasn’t anything nice.
Sophia couldn’t help but laugh, and Li Yifei grinned as well.
They took a taxi to the Aoki Family. Since they told Aoki Reiko when they left, she was already waiting at the door. Seeing Li Yifei get out of the car, her face lit up, and she jogged over.
"Yifei, you’re here." Aoki Reiko greeted as she ran up to Li Yifei.
Li Yifei nodded, and Aoki Reiko saw Sophia getting out of the car as well. She was slightly surprised and said, "Hello, welco to our ho."
"Hello, Miss Aoki Reiko." Sophia nodded.
Aoki Reiko led them all the way to the living room. Aoki Ryota was waiting there, and upon seeing Li Yifei, he was very pleased and ca up to give Li Yifei a big hug.
After exchanging a few greetings, Aoki Ryota said, "Yifei, let’s talk over dinner."
Li Yifei nodded and followed Aoki Ryota to the dining room. Aoki Reiko had already prepared a table full of seafood dishes, carefully serving each to Li Yifei and watching him savor them.
After tasting a few, Li Yifei gave a thumbs up and said, "Not bad, the taste is excellent."
"Then have so more, don’t worry about running out. I prepared plenty," Aoki Reiko said happily.
Aoki Ryota watched his daughter’s performance and laughed but didn’t say anything.
As they talked, the topic shifted to the purpose of Li Yifei’s visit to Japan. Li Yifei asked, "Are you sure you want to know?"
"Oh?" Aoki Ryota slightly raised an eyebrow and said, "Could it be troubleso? Haha, then all the more you should tell . I have so influence in Japan, maybe I can help you!"
Li Yifei didn’t hide it and said, "I’m here to kill Yanagio Inujiro."
Aoki Ryota looked puzzled and repeated, "Yanagio Inujiro? Why does that na sound familiar..."
Li Yifei lightly nodded, and Aoki Ryota suddenly widened his eyes in astonishnt, saying, "Yifei, are you planning to kill Yanagio the Martial God?"
Aoki Reiko’s eyes also widened as she looked at Li Yifei, not understanding why he wanted to kill the Martial God.
Sophia kept her head down, eating her food, and didn’t speak.
Li Yifei chuckled and said, "Yes, it’s him. He kidnapped my sister and invited
to Japan, saying that if he kills , he’ll release my sister. So... I ca."
Though Li Yifei spoke lightly, Aoki Ryota was already trembling in shock, unable even to sit still.
This was a monuntal issue. Japan only had two Unparalleled Experts. Given Aoki Ryota’s status, he knew a bit about them. What kind of existence were they? They were the faith of many Japanese people, and Li Yifei’s visit was actually to kill their faith...
Of course, Yanagio Inujiro wasn’t Aoki Ryota’s faith, but he was equally shocked.
The last ti Li Yifei had co, he had decimated half of the Yamaguchi Group, already making Aoki Ryota regard him as a God of Killing. And now, his target was the Martial God...
Obviously, Aoki Reiko also realized the importance of the matter. Her eyes fixed on Li Yifei, her face slightly anxious, yet she didn’t know what to say.
