Days of Living with My Sister-in-Law-Chapter 103: The Hardship of Chen Xiaobei

"What a terrible sin!" Chen Xiaobei lamented. Seeing Luo Qingcheng’s devastated expression, he wanted to cry but couldn’t shed a tear.

Luo Qingcheng had clearly broken down. She struck Chen Xiaobei fiercely, then turned and ran. She was surprisingly fast, dashing out of the village in a flash. Chen Xiaobei couldn’t bear to let her go alone and immediately gave chase.

Luo Qingcheng ran until she reached the large rock where Xi Yao was sitting. At that moment, her beautiful face was streaked with tears, her lips pursed in a pitiful pout. Xi Yao had been enjoying the distant scenery, but Luo Qingcheng’s interruption made her expression sour with annoyance. However, when she saw that even Luo Qingcheng’s peerless beauty was marred by tears, her annoyance turned to surprise.

"Hey, where did you come from? Why are you crying like this?" she asked instinctively. But she immediately sighed in resignation. After all, mortals other than Chen Xiaobei couldn’t see her, so asking was pointless. Still, Luo Qingcheng looked so tragic that Xi Yao felt a pang of empathy. Even though the girl couldn’t see her, she spoke in a comforting tone.

"Seeing you like this, some man must have hurt you, right? To be honest, all men are scumbags. I fell for one, too. It’s just that the guy’s a complete scumbag. Every time I see him, I want to slaughter him! But when I can’t see him, I miss him so much. The feeling is agonizing.

"Of course, we’re different. The man I like possesses the Nine Nether Eyes. He’s the most badass man in the world. As for your man, he must be a complete scumbag and a good-for-nothing! As a mortal, I suggest you break up with him. There are plenty of other fish in the sea."

With that, Xi Yao patted Luo Qingcheng’s shoulder, her hand passing right through her body. Just then, Chen Xiaobei’s figure came into view.

"Ah! The man I like is here!" Xi Yao’s face lit up with a smug delight. "You’ve got to be kidding me!" she said, annoyed. "It’s rare for me to get some time alone with Chen Xiaobei. Can’t you just leave? It’s not easy for me, you know? Why does everything I do get interrupted?"

Xi Yao’s chest swelled with frustration, and she desperately wanted to give Luo Qingcheng a beating. Seeing Chen Xiaobei drawing closer, she hurried to meet him. But a queen had to maintain her pride, so she cleared her throat and began, "Hey, you—"

Before she could finish, Chen Xiaobei rushed right past her to Luo Qingcheng’s side.

"Luo Qingcheng, why did you run? Hey! I was wrong, okay? I’m apologizing to you!" Chen Xiaobei grabbed Luo Qingcheng’s hand, his face etched with guilt.

"Let me go!" Luo Qingcheng pushed him away forcefully. She hugged her knees, her delicate body looking frail and helpless in the wind.

Not far away, Xi Yao stood frozen in the wind, feeling utterly disheveled. Our Queen Xi Yao felt utterly humiliated. Just moments ago, she had been shamelessly singing his praises, only to find out he wasn’t even here for her. Fine, so he wasn’t here for her. But could he at least stop bringing other women to this place in the future? Did he think her Dragon Locking Formation was some kind of love hotel? Couldn’t he consider her feelings for once!

"Chen Xiaobei!! I’ll kill you!" A berserk Xi Yao grabbed Chen Xiaobei from behind. She opened her mouth wide and sank her teeth into his shoulder!

"CRAP!" Chen Xiaobei shuddered from the sharp pain.

But it was Xi Yao, after all. He couldn’t bring himself to hit her. He could only grit his teeth against the excruciating pain as he grabbed Luo Qingcheng’s hand. "Qingcheng, I’m begging you, please come back with me!"

That tender scene filled Xi Yao with a sour jealousy. Ever since she’d met Chen Xiaobei, the bastard had either been spanking her or infuriating her with his words. He had never been so gentle before. As the dignified Demon Realm Queen, Xi Yao couldn’t accept this psychological blow. She bit down even harder.

This was agony for Chen Xiaobei. Tears of pain welled in his eyes, but he dared not say a word to Xi Yao. Just then, Luo Qingcheng noticed he was crying. In that instant, her heart felt as if it were being chewed by a million ants, the pain nearly suffocating her.

Are those tears... for me? So he does care about me deep down! But why is this bastard such a scumbag? My heart hurts so much! Chen Xiaobei, you bastard! I hate you!

Luo Qingcheng clenched her small fists and pounded on Chen Xiaobei’s chest. After a few hits, she suddenly threw herself into his arms and began to wail.

"AAAAAAH!" The sight made Xi Yao even more furious. She roared, "Chen Xiaobei! You... let her go! Both of you, get out! I never want to see you again!"

As she spoke, a sob caught in her own throat. Her teeth didn’t let up, leaving a mess of bite marks on Chen Xiaobei’s shoulder. Even so, Chen Xiaobei didn’t cry out or try to push her away. As a man, he felt incredibly guilty. But what good was guilt? To level up, he had to sleep with women. That was a part of his life he could never change. 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

On one side was Xi Yao, who had given him a new life. On the other was Qingcheng, whom he couldn’t let go.

As the Buddha said, "If I don’t go to Hell, who will?" Since I can’t choose, I’ll just bear all the pain myself. You like to bite, Xi Yao? Then bite all you want. I won’t make a sound, even if it kills me! And you like to cry, Luo Qingcheng? Then cry your heart out! You’ll both stop eventually. I’ll just stand here like a log in the meantime. But damn, this really, really hurts.

Chen Xiaobei’s tears flowed freely, streaming down his face. After ten agonizing minutes, Xi Yao finally stopped. She leaned against his side, panting. Looking at the deep bite marks on his shoulder, she still wasn’t satisfied; she wanted to tear him apart. But despite her anger, her heart ached with a strange discomfort. She, too, wanted to be like Luo Qingcheng—to throw herself into his arms like a vulnerable woman and cry her heart out.

But she found she just couldn’t do it. She didn’t want Chen Xiaobei to see her weak side. She really didn’t.

Instead, Xi Yao stood up and declared, "Chen Xiaobei, this is the last time. If you dare bring another woman here again, I swear I won’t let you off!"

With that, she turned and leaped into the river. She had no desire to swim, but if she didn’t get into the water, she wouldn’t be able to hold it in any longer. She desperately wanted to cry. She felt so wronged!

Unfortunately, the dense Chen Xiaobei was completely oblivious to Xi Yao’s subtle feelings. Watching her go, he heaved a sigh of relief.

She’s finally gone. That pain almost killed me!

Just then, Luo Qingcheng spoke softly. "Chen Xiaobei... I... can you give me some time?"

"Hmm?" Chen Xiaobei was stunned. What does she mean by that?

But before he could ask, a sudden, chilly gust of wind swept up from behind him! A powerful sense of crisis washed over him, and he instinctively grabbed Luo Qingcheng, rolling off the large rock just in time.
