Super Soldier in the City

Li Yifei told his family that there’s a rapid method for cultivating True Qi, which immediately piqued everyone’s interest. For people who don’t know anything about martial arts, cultivating True Qi feels near impossible. The women in Li Yifei’s house are no exception. While they might not live in luxury, their delicate skin and pampered lifestyles make it clear that they’ve had it easy—except for Su Yiyi, who’s endured a harder life than most. Li Xinyue and Song Lianyao had relatively humble backgrounds before, but the rest were practically raised inside honey pots.

Every day, they performed dull, repetitive movements without seeing any results. Most of them lost interest within a few days. Only Su Yiyi and Su Mengxin kept at it, while the rest would halfheartedly mimic the moves whenever they remembered—then quickly drop the effort.

Now that they learned there’s a shortcut, their lost enthusiasm was reignited.

But when they saw the tub filled with murky, black water, everyone furrowed their brows.

Xu Yingying was the first to speak. "Honey, are you sure this is for us?"

Li Yifei rubbed his nose and replied, "Of course. This tub contains expensive medicinal herbs, and every single one is essential. That’s why the water looks like this."

Ning Xin’er grimaced and said, "It’s so black... soaking in this stuff won’t turn our skin dark, will it?"

Everyone immediately turned their eyes to Li Yifei. To these women, their fair skin was paramount. If they were to turn into "African beauties," no matter how much benefit came from it, they absolutely wouldn’t agree.

"Definitely not," Li Yifei assured them. "While the medicine has color, there’s no actual pigment in it—all of it is pure energy." Having tested the concoction earlier and consulted Murong Yuanqing for confirmation, Li Yifei spoke confidently.

But even so, everyone still shook their heads in doubt—except one person.
