Days of Living with My Sister-in-Law-Chapter 116: Drink it Quickly

When he arrived at the riverbank, Xi Yao was already lying in the water, enjoying a moonlight bath. After Chen Xiaobei’s wild licking session earlier, her body had been left unbearably hot. It took an entire afternoon of soaking in the river to finally quell that fiery heat.

Just as she was about to go to sleep, however, Chen Xiaobei showed up again.

At that moment, Xi Yao felt a familiar pang deep inside her. Without even leaving the water, she craned her neck and yelled, "Hey, what are you doing here again? Don’t you sleep at night?"

"I couldn’t sleep, so I thought I’d come and see you," Chen Xiaobei said. "Weren’t you always going on about wanting hot pot? Well, I brought it for you today!"

As he spoke, he started unloading things from his car. He had come fully prepared with a gas tank, a sun umbrella, and even a table. In no time, Chen Xiaobei had a little roadside stall set up, and after bustling around for a bit, the spicy hot pot was ready.

"It smells so good!" Smelling the hot pot’s aroma, Xi Yao felt her mouth watering.

Too lazy to even put on clothes, she ran to Chen Xiaobei’s side, grabbed a pair of chopsticks, and reached for the meat.

But Chen Xiaobei suddenly grabbed her hand. "Wait!"

"What are you doing?" Xi Yao glared at him furiously. "I’m warning you! My Witch God Essence can help you enhance your Nine Nether Eyes, but I’m completely out today! Can’t you consider someone else’s feelings for once?"

"You have such a one-track mind!" Chen Xiaobei was speechless. He picked up his chopsticks and explained, "I was just trying to tell you to use the dipping sauce. Who eats hot pot like that? You look like a starving ghost. Have you no shame?"

Saying this, Chen Xiaobei dipped a piece of lamb into the sauce and held it to Xi Yao’s lips. "Here, eat."

"Get away! I’ll do it myself!" Xi Yao shot him a glare, then properly picked up her chopsticks, dipped a piece of meat, and placed it in her mouth.

The tender, savory flavor of the meat was so overwhelming that Xi Yao felt like she was on the verge of tears. Since being trapped in the Dragon Locking Formation, she hadn’t eaten a decent piece of meat in ten thousand years.

At this moment, Xi Yao was like a ravenous wolf, devouring everything with no manners whatsoever.

"Chen Xiaobei, add more meat! I’m not done yet!"

"Hey, I want some of that iced tea! Pour it for me, quick!"

"Wow! These beef balls are amazing, but why is the name so gross?"

"Nope, no more! I can’t eat another bite!"

By now, Xi Yao’s mouth was slick with grease, and her previously flat little belly was bulging.

She ate so much... is she actually going to poop? Chen Xiaobei wondered privately. But how could he possibly ask such a question?

Seeing that Xi Yao really couldn’t eat anymore, he simply packed up the table. Then he went back to the car and unloaded clothes, crackers, and other supplies, piling them all up. In no time, the rock where Xi Yao usually sat was piled high with goods, looking like a small mound.

Watching Chen Xiaobei bustle about, a rare smile of warmth and happiness appeared on Xi Yao’s usually cold face.

Then, she walked up with her hands behind her back and said, "Chen Xiaobei, thank you for everything you’ve done for me. I was very happy today."

"Alright, alright, don’t thank me just yet." Chen Xiaobei’s expression soured as he huffed, "Now that you’ve eaten your fill, it’s time for us to settle a score. Did you know I almost kicked the bucket tonight?"

"What?" Xi Yao looked astonished. "What on earth happened? Tell me!"

"Isn’t it all because you won’t teach me any decent Martial Techniques?" Chen Xiaobei said, clearly annoyed, as he recounted the evening’s events.

To his surprise, Xi Yao just laughed. "You’ve misunderstood me. It’s not that I don’t want to teach you any Martial Techniques. The Nine Heavens Demon-Vanquishing Technique is structured in three stages. The first three levels are for tempering the body, the middle three are for training the Divine Sense, and only the final three involve Immortal Law! You’re only at the second level. Even if I taught you a supreme Immortal Law, you wouldn’t be able to use it! Besides, the Demon Clan’s cultivation primarily focuses on body tempering. Haven’t you noticed you’re much more durable than before?"

"Hmm?" Chen Xiaobei paused.

Thinking it over, he realized Xi Yao had a point. After all, Murong Xiaoyi had given him a solid kick to the stomach. Anyone else would have been severely injured, if not killed. He, however, had only felt a brief twinge of pain before being completely fine. Thinking about it that way, his physical durability really was far greater than an ordinary person’s!

But that still wasn’t enough, was it? His weakness was his lack of Martial Techniques. He could barely handle someone like Murong Xiaoyi. If a stronger enemy appeared, could he do anything besides stand there and take a beating?

He remembered that Li Maowen’s older brother, Li Maochun, was an Earth Grade First Rank expert! Now that he had crippled Li Xinghe’s legs, it wouldn’t be long before Li Maochun came looking for him personally. Not to mention, didn’t they have the Iron Fist Sect backing them?

A cold chill ran down his spine. "Xi Yao," he said helplessly, "that may be true, but you don’t understand the situation I’m in. Please, think carefully. Is there really no Martial Technique you can give me that I can use right now? Otherwise, in my current state, it’ll be way too easy for me to get killed!"

"No, no, and no," Xi Yao said impatiently. "I am the Demon Realm Queen. What would I know of mortal Martial Techniques? This isn’t my fault. If anyone’s to blame, it’s you, you worthless mortal with no foundation in Martial Arts whatsoever."

"Cut the crap! Before I met you, I was just a farmer. What the hell would I know about Martial Techniques?" Chen Xiaobei felt the urge to slap her.

A great leader once said it’s better to rely on yourself than on anyone else.

It’s obvious now. When it comes to Martial Techniques, Xi Yao is definitely no help at all. And she calls herself the Demon Realm Queen... She seems more and more like a total fraud.

That’s right! A flash of inspiration struck him. Xi Yao might not have any techniques, but I can ask Elder Luo, Qingcheng’s grandfather! He used to be part of the Heavenly Demon Sect, so he must have some good ones! I have to master a decent Martial Technique, and fast.

No sooner said than done, Chen Xiaobei turned to leave.

But suddenly—

"Hey, wait a minute!"

Chen Xiaobei turned back to see Xi Yao, her face blushing, holding out a drink bottle to him.

"Here, take this and drink it!"

"What is it?" Chen Xiaobei was completely baffled. He twisted open the cap, and a familiar, sweet fragrance instantly wafted into his nostrils.

"Holy crap! This is... Witch God Essence?"

"Yes!" Xi Yao said awkwardly. "After you left today, I... produced a little more. I thought it’d be a waste to throw it out, so I bottled it for you."

"I know I can’t help you with Martial Techniques, but at least this can improve your Nine Nether Eyes. You should drink it quickly! It loses its flavor if you let it sit for too long."

"Uh—" Chen Xiaobei was utterly speechless.

While Witch God Essence might be the most delicious liquid in the world, the delivery method mattered! If he drank it while... servicing Xi Yao, he wouldn’t feel the slightest psychological burden. But seeing it in a bottle just made him feel disgusted, to the point he actually wanted to vomit.

Just then—

"Hmph! So useless."

With an annoyed but cute huff, Xi Yao snatched the bottle back.

Under Chen Xiaobei’s astonished gaze, she downed the half-bottle of Witch God Essence herself. Then she grabbed his face and pressed her lips against his!

"Mmmph—"

Chen Xiaobei was completely stunned by her kiss. The combination of her sweet tongue and the Witch God Essence made him feel like his soul was about to explode as he involuntarily swallowed the large amount of liquid she passed to him.

BOOM!

The next second, a sharp pain shot through his left eye! A fierce orange light burst forth—his Nine Nether Eyes had upgraded
