Days of Living with My Sister-in-Law-Chapter 178: Lost Confidence

"Pervert!" Luo Qingcheng glared at him, her face flushing. "Of course I’ve tried it. Otherwise, why would I have sent the salespeople out to promote it?"

"I just wanted to ask you, aren’t you a Divine Doctor? Can’t you at least give some constructive advice?"

"The thing is, I don’t really have any advice," Chen Xiaobei said, spreading his hands. "There’s a saying, isn’t there? If you want to know if a product is good, just check the customer experience."

"As a woman, did you feel any discomfort after applying it?"

"Did the scent become more fragrant? Did you feel a sudden urge to lick it?"

"If so, then our product is fine. If not, then there’s a problem!"

With that, Chen Xiaobei took a deep sniff and chuckled. "The fragrance is long-lasting and refreshing. It’s very well-made. I bet if you used it for a month straight, the scent would last a lifetime." 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂

"Get lost! Can’t you be serious for once?" Luo Qingcheng pushed him hard.

Yet Chen Xiaobei said innocently, "But I am being serious. It’s really fragrant! It makes me want to take a couple of bites."

"I won’t let you!" Luo Qingcheng shyly lowered her head, a hint of coquettishness in her demeanor.

After everything that had happened, Luo Qingcheng had completely come to terms with things. After all, there were no perfect men in this world. While Chen Xiaobei was a scoundrel, he was a scoundrel with character. At least he wasn’t the type of heartless bastard who’d leave a woman high and dry.

And Luo Qingcheng just so happened to have fallen in love with him. For her, a day without Chen Xiaobei felt like a year.

Perhaps this was a fateful entanglement?

Having come to this realization, Luo Qingcheng found herself feeling a bit wet. She really wanted to finish what they had started yesterday.

But just then, Chen Xiaobei dragged a stool over and sat down right in front of her. He took her hand and said, "Qingcheng, I have something very important to talk to you about."

Luo Qingcheng had never seen Chen Xiaobei so serious before. "What is it?" she asked, surprised.

"It’s about your Cultivation Technique. Remember when I told you about a female ghost?"

"Well, she’s not actually a ghost. Her name is Xi Yao—"

With that, Chen Xiaobei explained everything about Xi Yao to Luo Qingcheng in detail. After she heard the story, Luo Qingcheng’s jaw nearly dropped. "Xiaobei, are you sure you’re not pulling my leg? There’s really a Demon Realm Queen in this world?"

"Of course!" Chen Xiaobei said with a wry smile. "If it weren’t for Xi Yao, the person I am today wouldn’t exist."

"The only reason I became such a scoundrel is because I have to absorb Mysterious Yin Energy."

"But I guess it’s also my good fortune with women. Who can blame them for liking me?"

"Pah! Shameless!" Luo Qingcheng pouted and said weakly, "So, from what you’re saying, if I cultivate that Xuantian Jade Maiden Technique, we won’t be able to be intimate, is that right?"

"Not exactly," Chen Xiaobei said, shaking his head. "It just means we can’t be intimate for a short time. But once you break through to the Mahayana Realm, you won’t be bound by that restriction anymore."

"By then, you will soar through the cosmos, travel the nine heavens, and be completely reborn as an immortal!"

"As the saying goes, a good meal is worth waiting for. This is a huge opportunity for you!"

"And to look at it another way, even if we can’t do the real thing, we can at least... you know... lick? Using toys wouldn’t be a problem either. When you think about it, it’s still—"

"DAMN IT! OW, OW, OW—"

Before Chen Xiaobei could finish, Luo Qingcheng bit down hard on his arm.

At that moment, her pretty, pale face was flushed with red, and her big eyes were misty. She looked partly aggrieved, partly excited—her feelings were a complicated mess!

After biting down for more than ten seconds, Luo Qingcheng finally let go and whispered, "My life is already hard enough. Why must I cultivate as a virgin?"

"But if I don’t cultivate, I’ll not only become a burden to you, but I’ll also have to watch myself slowly grow old!"

"I... I can’t accept that—"

"I can’t bear to lose you, and I can’t bear to become a burden!"

"So, I will practice the Xuantian Jade Maiden Technique. For our future, this small hardship is nothing!"

"That’s the spirit!" Chen Xiaobei gave her a thumbs-up. "Spoken like the Business Queen Luo Qingcheng! Always so decisive."

"Xi Yao said I should take you there tonight. I reckon that once you inherit the Cultivation Technique, you’ll be able to see her too. The two of you will probably become good friends!"

"I hope so." Luo Qingcheng bit her lip and asked curiously, "Um... is she... is she pretty?"

"Very pretty!" Chen Xiaobei replied instinctively, but he quickly added, "You’re just as pretty as she is. Don’t overthink it. You’ll meet her tonight."

"Hmm..." Luo Qingcheng nodded, her heart a tangle of emotions.

After all, she’s the Queen of the Demon Realm, and I’m just an ordinary woman. Can I really compare to Xi Yao?

For the first time in her life, Luo Qingcheng felt so insecure. At the same time, the Xuantian Jade Maiden Technique also filled her with a sense of dread. If Chen Xiaobei hadn’t been so serious, she would have thought this was all a dream.

In short, her mind was a mess, and she felt utterly exhausted.

"Xiaobei, I want to go inside and rest for a bit. Will you keep me company?" Luo Qingcheng asked in a soft voice.

"Of course!" Chen Xiaobei scooped her up and carried her into the room.

But he didn’t do anything else. After laying Luo Qingcheng on the kang bed, he kicked off his shoes and lay down beside her.

"If you’re tired, get some rest," Chen Xiaobei said, wrapping his arms around her comfortingly. "Don’t put too much pressure on yourself."

"Mmm..." Luo Qingcheng nodded softly, unable to resist burying her head in the crook of her lover’s arm.

But before she could even close her eyes, Murong Xiaoyi’s voice rang out from outside.

"Cousin, I’m back! I brought my Master with me this time!"

"Chen Xiaobei, get out here and treat my Master!"

Still clad in her bright red martial arts attire, Murong Xiaoyi stormed into the room.

Luo Qingcheng had never expected her to barge back in so suddenly. It was too late to struggle out of Chen Xiaobei’s embrace. She looked up just in time to see her cousin staring at Chen Xiaobei with murderous eyes.

"AAAAAHHHHH!"

"Chen Xiaobei, you bastard! How dare you hold my cousin! What about your promise to me?"

"I’ll kill you!" With that, the girl lunged, her fingers clamping around Chen Xiaobei’s neck.

"Damn it, are you insane?" Chen Xiaobei choked out, stunned by her grip. "I was just holding Qingcheng for a nap! I wasn’t fucking her! What is your problem?"

"I’m warning you, let go right now, or don’t blame me for getting rough!"

But Murong Xiaoyi had completely lost it. Glaring with bloodshot eyes, she bellowed, "Rough? What can you possibly do to me? Chen Xiaobei, you broke your promise! I swear I’ll kill you today!"

With that, she drew Moonlight.

Just as she was about to stab, a gentle reprimand came from outside the door.

"Xiaoyi, that’s enough! Put that blade away this instant!"

Chen Xiaobei turned toward the voice, and his gaze instantly froze.

Wow, this woman is beautiful!
