Chapter 643 - 667: A Turnaround at Desperation
With a swift motion, Li Yifei suddenly embraced Sophia, who hadn’t expected him to hold her in such a situation and instinctively wanted to fight back.
But because Li Yifei’s move could be considered a sneak attack, he had already tightly clamped her arm, preventing her from moving. Just as she was about to speak, she let out a low growl, her eyes almost bulging out, for at his lower body was a cold sensation—clearly, Sophia’s Flying Dagger. With a mere twitch of her fingers, he’d be turned into a real eunuch.
However, Li Yifei still didn’t let go, staring into Sophia’s eyes and shouting, "I’ve been through life and death with them. If any of them gets hurt, I’ll die with them!"
It was then that Sophia realized why Li Yifei was holding her. She looked at him coldly, her lips moved, seemingly saying something, but with the storm so fierce, Li Yifei couldn’t hear a thing. Sophia, however, had already put away her dagger, and Li Yifei immediately released her, a cold sweat breaking out all over his body. This woman was truly too dangerous.
Diving into the water once more, Li Yifei was much more cautious, but Sophia didn’t make any further moves, which somewhat comforted him. It seemed that the words he had said earlier had an effect.
Since the moment Li Yifei and Sophia had exchanged those words, Su Mengxin, Xu Shanshan, and Michelle felt even more stirred when it was Li Yifei’s turn to give them the Breathing Transition. Adversity revealed true feelings; Li Yifei’s words were more touching than any sweet nothings.
After holding on for more than half an hour, Li Yifei seemed to be at the end of his strength. Although Su Mengxin and the others hadn’t exerted much effort, the seawater was very cold under the storm, and the constant diving and surfacing also drained a lot of their energy. They too lacked the strength to go on. If this continued, they all knew that death was the only thing awaiting them.
But it seemed as if their lives were not destined to end just yet—the storm suddenly weakened, and the waves were no longer so violent, which brought great joy to Li Yifei. He quickly urged everyone to rally, and at that moment, everyone felt a surge of energy, sustaining them for a significant amount of additional time.
