Chapter 2199: Chapter 2263: Physical Damage
"Yes, yes, Shanshan, call that Elder Murong and ask him to help." Su Lio quickly said to Xu Shanshan, who hurriedly found Li Yifei’s phone, located Murong Yuanqing’s number, and dialed out...
Three hours later, Murong Yuanqing ca out of the bedroom. The few people anxiously waiting in the living room quickly stood up, with Xu Shanshan and Su Lio looking at him nervously. As the old man walked out, Xu Shanshan imdiately asked, "Elder Murong, how is Yifei?"
Su Lio also looked over anxiously with wide eyes.
Also in the room was Yao Lingfu, along with two others Xu Shanshan hadn’t t before. It was Li Yifei’s good fortune that Murong Yuanqing, who had not been in the Capital City recently, happened to return for so business, bringing along Yao Lingfu and others.
Murong Yuanqing frowned, his face not looking good, as he looked at Xu Shanshan and the others, asking, "What happened with him recently? Why is his body so damaged?"
Xu Shanshan and Su Lio were also bewildered. She said, "Elder, I’m not really sure either. Yifei just went to Africa for half a month and had just returned. Oh right, let
make a call to find out, he went to protect soone."
Scrolling to Wu Shuwei’s number, Xu Shanshan dialed. Over there, Wu Shuwei had already gone to bed. Seeing that it was Li Yifei’s number, she initially didn’t want to answer, fearing Li Yifei may be drunk and bothering her. Hesitatingly, she connected and heard Xu Shanshan’s voice: "I’m Xu Shanshan. Li Yifei is in a coma now. I want to know what exactly happened when you went to Africa."
"What?" Wu Shuwei’s heart almost stopped upon hearing this. Just hearing Xu Shanshan’s serious tone gave her a bad feeling. Upon hearing the rest, Wu Shuwei sat up in shock, not bothering to control her volu, quickly saying, "What happened to Yifei?"
"I don’t know, he suddenly vomited blood and passed out. Quickly, tell
what exactly happened in Africa."
"I... okay, okay." Wu Shuwei quickly explained the events in Africa. Everyone in the room heard about how Li Yifei battled several top wizards of the African Continent back-to-back in Africa, then experienced True Qi Exhaustion. Upon returning to the country, he didn’t rest, not only catching terrorists but also treating fellow soldiers. Without having enough rest, he then treated Su Lio...
Even Yao Lingfu and Murong Yuanqing, who had experienced a lot, couldn’t help but have their faces change. After a mont of silence, Murong Yuanqing said, "That rascal, he doesn’t take care of his body. No matter how great your potential is, you can’t waste it like this."
Yao Lingfu frowned and said, "Let him rest for a while. Heart demon issues are sothing one must endure themselves; external forces can’t help."
"Heart demon?" Xu Shanshan and Su Lio asked simultaneously.
"That’s right, Li Yifei is experiencing a heart demon backlash right now, though it’s not too severe; otherwise, he’d be in serious trouble. His body is already in this state, can’t he slow down, adjust before acting, causing himself to end up like this!" Yao Lingfu ended with so complaints.
Su Lio’s tears suddenly flowed down. Li Yifei’s health was already so poor, yet he insisted on treating her, resulting in the heart demon backlash, almost costing him his life. Thinking about it, she felt extrely guilty.
Xu Shanshan, guessing the reason for her tears, hugged the young girl and comforted her, "It’s not your fault, it’s just that everything coincided. Actually, he was cautious before, just didn’t expect it to really happen."
"Sister Shanshan, I... I’m really sorry, it’s my fault for hurting him."
"It’s not your fault, you mustn’t think that way, besides, your health isn’t good, and you can’t keep crying, otherwise, Li Yifei’s treatnt for you will be in vain." Xu Shanshan hugged her with heartache.
Yao Lingfu looked at the two won, sighed, and said, "Let’s not discuss this now. Your guilt and anxiety are useless; the situation has already happened. While we can help with other issues, as for the heart demon, it’s up to oneself; it’s a battle one has with oneself."
"Facing heart demons is a journey every cultivator must undertake. I once struggled with a heart demon for years. Don’t be too anxious; we have to believe in Li Yifei." Murong Yuanqing slowly sat down. He is now nearing the end of his lifespan, yet still has many things to do, so he’s nearly always busy. Every ti soone sees him, they feel Murong Yuanqing has aged a bit more; the sa goes for Yao Lingfu and others.
Su Lio knew what Murong Yuanqing was referring to, that matter also caused her grandfather to be troubled by a heart demon for many years.
It’s like a kind of illness. When the body is strong, even if the illness is present, it has no impact. But once the body is weak, the illness suddenly grows, striking down the whole body.
The crucial aspect is that external forces can hardly help, not even certain dicines or spirit-nurturing items, which can only have a minimal effect.
So, ultimately, it relies on Li Yifei to face it himself; others can do little to help.
Half an hour later, Wu Shuwei also arrived at the hotel. After understanding the situation, she too felt a sting in her nose, unable to hold back her tears. Su Lio was guilt-ridden enough, but Wu Shuwei felt even more guilty. The sudden outbreak of Li Yifei’s heart demon was ultimately due to the continuous battles against those great wizards in Africa, leaving his body in extrely poor condition.
Seeing her expression, Xu Shanshan let out a sigh. When Li Yifei made a decision, they usually respected it. Upon learning that Li Yifei was going to Africa to be Wu Shuwei’s bodyguard, the won in the family basically didn’t say anything. Now, seeing Wu Shuwei’s appearance, Xu Shanshan knew that another woman had fallen, and their family would gain another sister.
Of course, Xu Shanshan’s own identity was sowhat awkward, so she wouldn’t say anything rash.
In the room, Li Yifei lay on the bed. He was no longer coughing up blood. Although Murong Yuanqing said he couldn’t help much, he could... tie Li Yifei up with rope to prevent him from making drastic moves and hurting himself or others when his heart-devil acted up.
It’s worth ntioning that the heart-devil can truly drive a person insane, make them mad, or even lose their mind. But that’s usually in tis of extre highs and lows. For soone like Li Yifei, who was weak and invaded by the heart-devil, it seed comparatively better to Murong Yuanqing and others. It was more manageable than a sudden outbreak, and it was easier to accept.
An early outbreak and a late one both have their drawbacks, but also certain advantages.
As for when Li Yifei would wake up or overco the heart-devil, it was unknown.
Murong Yuanqing and others couldn’t stay here all the ti, so they left quickly, leaving behind three won. Wu Shuwei, having finished crying, continued to apologize; Su Lio was also emotionally affected and began to apologize. Xu Shanshan realized this wasn’t going well. Before Li Yifei could wake up, these two won might end up in trouble, so she knocked them out to sleep and laid them together on the bed, while she ca to Li Yifei’s room. Seeing Li Yifei simply restrained on the bed, Xu Shanshan wanted to laugh but felt it was inappropriate, thinking of the once unruly Li Yifei now tied to the bed.
"Flirting all around, getting into romantic troubles, and now look, heart-devil outbreak. Ah, I wonder how you’re feeling now. I want to help you, but no one can help you; only you can handle it yourself," Xu Shanshan crouched by the bed, her hands resting on it, pillow underneath.
For the first ti being with Li Yifei like this, Xu Shanshan had an indescribable feeling.
Until dawn, Xu Shanshan dozed a few tis, awakening quickly each ti. She saw Li Yifei lying on the bed with a normal complexion, stood up to move a bit, when the door was pushed open, and Wu Shuwei ca in, glanced at Xu Shanshan, already recovered, and said, "Thank you."
"No need to be polite, we’ll be family in the future." Xu Shanshan said, while doing chest expansion exercises, "Go freshen up, I’ve called for breakfast."
Wu Shuwei looked at Xu Shanshan with a strange expression, hearing her words, Wu Shuwei wanted to refute, what’s this about family in the future... But seeing Li Yifei on the bed, Wu Shuwei said nothing.
Li Yifei wouldn’t wake up soon. Wu Shuwei waited until noon, had to leave. By afternoon, He Fangqing, Su ngxin, and Su Yiyi hurried over. They were on a business trip, heard the news, imdiately turned to the Capital City. In the room, a group of won surrounded, learning the whole story from Xu Shanshan. Su ngxin sighed, Su Yiyi looked distressed, He Fangqing was concerned too.
"Where’s Wu Shuwei?" Su ngxin asked.
"She had to leave on business, might co at night." Xu Shanshan replied.
"How do you feel?" Su ngxin asked.
"It’s okay, I had so interactions with Ali and her, hard to comnt, just feel she has a special personality but very capable, managing everything alone at a young age."
"Looks good too!" He Fangqing said from the side.
Su ngxin pursed her lips and said, "Then let’s observe, if she’s really good, it wouldn’t be bad to accept her. If she’s soone special, we need to show our stance."
According to succession, even if Wu Shuwei joined the Li family, she’d be the youngest, that’s the rule. Even Chu Xiaoyao and Na Yi have higher ranks than her. Su ngxin’s few words indicated that the first hurdle wouldn’t be too difficult.
As for what stage Li Yifei and Wu Shuwei had reached, only the two knew. Considering Wu Shuwei’s family background, her father was rising steadily and had only one daughter. If they could make him acknowledge Li Yifei, not daring to say long-term, but in five or ten years, the Li family would have another strong backing.
Aside from emotions, one must consider all aspects. If Wu Shuwei could be won over, the Li family in Capital City would have support not only from the Su family but also the Wu family.
Of course, the premise is Li Yifei could truly win over Wu Shuwei, not just appearing vague.
As one of the main wives, Su ngxin’s attitude determined the Li family won’s attitude towards Wu Shuwei. So in the evening, carrying so fruits, Wu Shuwei ca to the hotel again, seeing several new won, she was a bit stunned.
