Days of Living with My Sister-in-Law-Chapter 67: Undercurrents

"What do you mean, ’what me’? As the saying goes, relatives are relatives, and money is money. These things must be kept separate!"

Seeing Luo Qingcheng’s deflated expression, Chen Xiaobei was thrilled.

Serves you right for messing with me just now. I’m going to make you fume!

Luo Qingcheng’s face flushed with shame and embarrassment. But she had to admit that while she was angry, she also felt a strong sense of gratitude. After all, if it weren’t for Chen Xiaobei, she and her grandfather would have been long gone.

He has great medical skills, he can fight, and he’s so witty. A man like that is hard to find even with a lantern. It’s just a shame he’s such a scoundrel; otherwise, he’d be the perfect man.

As she was lost in thought, Li Maowen finished writing the IOU, setting the repayment deadline for ten days. As the third young master of the Li Family, he had never suffered such humiliation in his life. But when you’re under someone else’s roof, you have to bow your head. Chen Xiaobei had his life in his hands, so he had no choice but to plead like a grandson.

"Chen Xiaobei, I’ve written the IOU, and you’ve taken the ten million. Can you treat me now?"

"Rest assured," Chen Xiaobei said. "I always keep my word. Fair to young and old alike!"

He picked up a Silver Needle and casually pierced a hole right in the Dragon Head. In an instant, the True Qi inside was expelled, and the appendage deflated at a visible rate. However, its appearance was completely ruined, looking like a shriveled ring of dead skin.

Chen Xiaobei took the opportunity to say, "Li Maowen, remember this. The fibrous tissue in your penis has been completely ruptured by the True Qi. If you want it to return to normal, I’m the only one in the world who can help you! So, you’d better pay me back within ten days. Otherwise, you can prepare to live as a eunuch."

Li Maowen nodded quickly. "Rest assured! I... I will definitely pay you back!"

"If there’s nothing else, you can take these two and leave." Chen Xiaobei said, then grabbed him by the collar. "Actually, I’m quite curious. How did you find out I was Chen Xiaobei?"

"It was because your watermelons were selling too well! Even my men went to buy some and just happened to see Luo Qingcheng and Zhao Caixia fighting over you!" Li Maowen said truthfully.

"Li Maowen, who was fighting with Zhao Caixia! Don’t you dare spout nonsense!" Luo Qingcheng’s face flushed with anger.

"Shut up!" Chen Xiaobei shot her a glare before turning back to warn Li Maowen. "Since you know about my relationship with Luo Qingcheng and Zhao Caixia, you’d better remember this. From now on, if anything happens to either of them, I’ll hold you responsible, regardless of whether you did it or not.

"I know you don’t respect me at all in your heart. You think your second brother is a so-called Earth Grade First Rank Martial Artist and that you have the Iron Fist Sect backing you up. But let me tell you, you’d better not underestimate me, Chen Xiaobei. My background is beyond your imagination! Provoke me, and I won’t hesitate to take on even Heaven-Level Martial Artists!"

WHOOSH.

As he spoke, a transcendent wave of True Qi burst forth from Chen Xiaobei’s body. The domineering aura, as if it could look down upon the entire world, stunned everyone present.

Luo Qingcheng’s pretty face went slack, and she unconsciously blurted out, "So handsome!"

It’s just a shame his character is so rotten. If only he weren’t... 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢

At this thought, Luo Qingcheng felt like crying, utterly distressed.

Li Maowen swallowed hard and nodded. "Chen Xiaobei, I promise. Can you leave now?"

"Do you think I want to stay in this dump?" Chen Xiaobei snorted, then turned to lead Luo Qingcheng and her grandfather out.

The moment they were gone, Li Maowen let out a piercing roar. "Chen Xiaobei, I swear I’ll kill you!"

The violent movement aggravated the wound in his lower body, and the pain was so intense that he almost fainted.

Kong Gang asked with concern, "Third Young Master, Chen Xiaobei is too arrogant. How about I sneak over tonight and shoot him dead?"

"Shoot your mother!" Li Maowen yelled. "You think I don’t want him dead? But if he dies, what about my dick? No, this is out of my hands. I have to inform Grandfather!"

With that, he dialed Li Xinghe’s number.

"Mao Wen, the matter in Shanhe Village should be proceeding smoothly, right? When can the villagers be relocated?" Li Xinghe asked gravely.

"Grandfather! Things in Shanhe Village are progressing well; we should be able to sign the contracts soon. However, Wei Long has been crippled... and so have I!" Li Maowen sobbed as he recounted everything that had happened with Chen Xiaobei.

"What did you say?!" Li Xinghe exclaimed in shock. "A single cat crippled Wei Long and his men? And that Chen Xiaobei, are his medical skills really so formidable?"

"Grandfather, at a time like this, would I lie to you? Please, hurry and tell my Second Brother to come back and get revenge for me! It has always been our Li Family bullying others. When have we ever been humiliated like this?" Li Maowen cried, feeling deeply wronged. After all, his entire life revolved around chasing women; if he really became a eunuch, he might as well be dead.

"Enough with the blubbering! Where is your dignity?!" Li Xinghe rebuked, displeased. "I spoke with your Second Brother recently. He is on the verge of breaking through to the Earth Rank Second Grade. This is a critical period for his breakthrough, and his state of mind must not be disturbed. Besides, to deal with a mere Chen Xiaobei, there’s no need for your Second Brother to act personally. Liang Zheng is more than enough!"

"Liang Zheng?" Li Maowen frowned. "Grandfather, Uncle Liang is only a Mysterious Rank Fifth Grade, but Luo Wentian said that Chen Xiaobei is a Profundity Rank Ninth Grade. Isn’t sending Uncle Liang after him a death sentence?"

"What does Luo Wentian know!" Li Xinghe huffed. "A few days ago, I bribed his driver, Jiang Feng, to take him out, but that Chen Xiaobei ended up ruining the plan. According to the men who escaped, Chen Xiaobei’s cultivation is at most Profundity Rank Fourth Grade! Liang Zheng is a Mysterious Rank Fifth Grade. He is more than sufficient to deal with Chen Xiaobei. Moreover, what interests me right now isn’t Chen Xiaobei at all, but that strange cat! It seems Shanhe Village is indeed a magical place, so the development must be finalized as soon as possible. Any delay could lead to complications! I will notify Liang Zheng at once. He will be there soon."

"Yes, Grandfather."

After hanging up, a fierce glint flashed in Li Maowen’s eyes.

Chen Xiaobei, you have no idea how terrifying the Li Family’s foundation truly is! Just you wait. I will soon repay everything you’ve done to me!

「」

After coming down from the second floor, Luo Wentian wore a grave expression filled with guilt.

"Xiaobei, by saving Qingcheng and me, you have thoroughly offended the Li Family! I can never repay this great kindness. Please, accept my bow." Luo Wentian bent deeply at the waist.

"Elder Luo, you’re being too serious!" Chen Xiaobei quickly helped him up. "Saving you and Qingcheng was incidental. The main reason was that Li Maowen was targeting my sister-in-law. I would have had unfinished business with him whether you were involved or not!"

"Hmph!" Luo Qingcheng pouted, very unhappy with Chen Xiaobei’s words.

What does he mean, we were ’incidental’? That bastard didn’t just get intimate with me down there, he even played with my breasts! What more does he want? The only thing he didn’t do was sleep with me! And it wasn’t because I was unwilling, but because it was physically impossible for him! It’s all your fault for being such a scoundrel!

Chen Xiaobei had no interest in Luo Qingcheng’s inner drama. There was only one thing on his mind: the development of Shanhe Village. Since Luo Wentian was there, he decided to ask.

"Elder Luo, why is the Li Family so interested in Shanhe Village? And I have to believe that you didn’t come all the way to Mangniu Town just to open a rundown supermarket, did you?"
