Days of Living with My Sister-in-Law-Chapter 317: Mr. Qin

"How could it be?"

Being a smart person, Chen Xiaobei could easily read Murong Xiaoyi’s mind and said,

"The Qin Family helped me because I saved Qin Shihua, and you helped me because we’re family!"

"Get lost! Who’s family with you!"

Murong Xiaoyi wished she could bite this guy to death.

This guy was good in every way except for his loose tongue. She even felt that Chen Xiaobei and Ye Shanhe became enemies probably because of his mouth.

She was about to advise Chen Xiaobei to be more serious, but then Ye Shanhe was chased away amid the crowd’s disdainful shouts, leading to a burst of cheers at the scene.

"Mr. Chen is indeed a young talent!"

"Nonsense, how can ’young talent’ describe Mr. Chen? To fight a half-step Grandmaster with an Earth rank, I fear he’s the only one in the entire Lower Three Continents in a thousand years!"

"When Mr. Chen’s name spreads across Dragon Country in the future, who will dare to look down on us Songshan people!"

Hearing such exaggerated praises would make anyone get goosebumps, but fortunately, Chen Xiaobei’s skin was thick enough. He coughed lightly and said:

"Not at all, not at all."

"It was a tough win for me too."

Hearing this, everyone couldn’t help but praise Chen Xiaobei for his humility and low-profile demeanor.

But who would have thought, inside, Chen Xiaobei was already ecstatic.

If it weren’t for so many people around, he would have loved to sing a song.

But for now, he needed to keep a low profile, otherwise, he’d lose his coolness.

"Mr. Chen, are you okay?"

Noticing something seemed wrong with Chen Xiaobei, Qin Shihua stepped forward with concern to ask.

The stunningly beautiful Qin Shihua made everyone feel heartbroken.

Only Murong Xiaoyi, known as Little Xiyao, could truly rival this young lady.

Even He Zixuan felt a twinge of jealousy at the sight.

"Just dealing with an Old Bide, nothing serious."

Chen Xiaobei kept a calm appearance and was about to continue playing it cool, but suddenly, as he relaxed from his tense state, a tearing pain came from within his body.

He cursed inwardly at that Old Bide for being so ruthless. Luckily, he had the Heavenly Silkworm Brocade Garment for protection; otherwise, today would have been a disaster.

However, the protective charges of the Heavenly Silkworm Brocade Garment were all used up. To use it again, he’d have to find Xi Yao to recharge it.

So sometimes, Chen Xiaobei was quite frustrated. Although she was the Demon Realm Queen, so powerful, the reality was that Chen Xiaobei hadn’t learned any spells from her, nor did she teach him any amazing martial techniques.

Apart from being tougher than others, Chen Xiaobei really thought Xi Yao was the lamest queen ever.

Thinking of this, Chen Xiaobei’s chest throbbed painfully, and he really wanted to rest for a while.

But in front of a beauty, how could he admit he was not up to par?!

So Chen Xiaobei continued to stand tall, acting as if it was a piece of cake.

"Mr. Chen is indeed extraordinary."

Qin Shihua, with surprise in her beautiful eyes, took out a bottle of medicine from her bosom: "This is the Qin Family’s secret Tiger Blood Pill, initially prepared to supplement Mr. Chen’s body."

"Seems like Mr. Chen doesn’t need it?"

Chen Xiaobei replied without changing his expression, "Actually, I have a friend who’s a bit weak. Of course, it’s not me, haha, it’s a friend of mine..."

"Understood, understood."

Qin Shihua, perhaps genuinely or falsely understanding, handed over the medicine with a smile, adding: "Then tell Mr. Chen’s friend that this medicine is very yang-heavy."

"After taking it, it should be digested slowly, and once fully digested, it can break a rank."

"Miss Qin is so generous."

Chen Xiaobei raised an eyebrow.

His Nine Heavens Demon-Vanquishing Technique supposedly only leveled up when he was around women, so he never thought of taking medicine for it.

But hearing Qin Shihua say this, he was a bit tempted.

Regardless of whether it worked or not, he’d eat it first; after all, even if it couldn’t help with upgrading, it still might make him feel better, right?

"You saved my girl’s life, what’s one pill!"

Qin Zhengyang’s authoritative voice came, drawing everyone’s attention as he waved a large hand: "Bring out the reward I brought for Mr. Chen!"

Behind him, his attendants carried sandalwood boxes with them.

The boxes opened, releasing a fragrant aroma that lifted the spirits of the onlookers.

"The Qin Family presents a thank-you gift to Mr. Chen!"

"Two stalks of Hundred-year-old Dragon Saliva Grass!"

"Ten stalks of Century-old Ginseng!"

"Ten stalks of Hundred-year-old Ganoderma!"

"Fifteen Purple Black Vines!"

The onlookers were in awe, as such high-level herbs were beyond their reach.

They just felt that the name Century-old Ginseng sounded very impressive, something that could be considered an heirloom!

Yet the Qin Family gave away ten stalks!

The way they looked at Chen Xiaobei was filled with more admiration and envy, considering how young he was, a master too, gaining the favor of the Qin Family, and having Miss Qin attending to him.

He managed to flaunt it all today!

"Alas! It seems I bet right this time, Mr. Chen’s future is bound to be limitless!"

In the distance, Zhong Wannian’s eyes nearly popped out!

Even Murong Xiaoyi glanced uncertainly at Qin Zhengyang.

Though Qin Zhengyang was part of the Qin Family, he could only control the wealth of his branch. Such medicines, even for him, represented quite a fortune.

Could it be that the Qin Family was truly ready to spare no expense to recruit Chen Xiaobei?

But...

Murong Xiaoyi felt a hint of unease in her heart!

"Let me make it clear, the rumors about me being a kept man are untrue, I don’t accept being kept..."

Chen Xiaobei looked at the medicine with a strange expression.

If we consider the Tiger Blood Pill before as a thank-you gift, given the Qin Family’s generosity, well, it made sense.

But these herbs were far beyond the amount of compensation he expected.

Could they really have taken a liking to him?

Although Qin Shihua was attractive, being kept by her might be enjoyable, it would ruin his fun with other flowers!

He couldn’t give up the whole forest for one flower!

But Qin Zhengyang declared proudly, "The person I, Qin Zhengyang, despise most in my life is a son-in-law!"

"Mr. Chen needn’t worry; I’m not asking you to be a son-in-law but to join my Qin Family’s Ninth House as a Guest Elder!"

Saying this, he looked at Chen Xiaobei with admiration in his eyes: "So young, yet at Earth-rank Eighth Grade, possessing peerless medical skills."

"Even across the entire Lower Three Continents, talents like you are rare!"

"As long as Mr. Chen agrees to join my Qin Family, I can promise on behalf of the Qin Family, so long as the Qin Family stands, the Ye Family won’t dare to touch you!"

Chen Xiaobei had a subtle expression because, previously, Qin Zhengyang’s protection seemed temporary, not preventing the Ye Family from settling scores later.

But now, he was offering the Qin Family’s permanent protection for him.

The fact that he could make such a promise indicated he held a significant standing within the Qin Family, at least able to persuade the Family Head to risk a feud with the Ye Family for him!

Once he joined, no one in the Lower Three Continents would dare provoke him.

Moreover, Qin Zhengyang did not propose a Soul Contract this time, which took Chen Xiaobei by surprise!

"What do you think, is this condition sincere enough?"

Qin Zhengyang, with twinkling eyes, confidently looked at Chen Xiaobei, believing that no sensible person could refuse such an offer!

And everyone was increasingly envious of Chen Xiaobei, wishing they could substitute for him and accept the offer!
