Days of Living with My Sister-in-Law-Chapter 131: Sect’s Treasure

"Ahhhhhh! You bastard!"

Murong Xiaoyi was stunned by the spray, reaching up to her face to wipe off the mess. She had no idea how sticky the stuff was. It would have been better not to wipe it, but now that she had, it just stuck even more firmly. The intense smell churned her stomach. Holding back a wave of nausea, Murong Xiaoyi rolled down the window and retched outside.

"Hey, are you okay?" Chen Xiaobei asked, patting her on the back.

"Get lost!" Murong Xiaoyi felt terribly wronged, sobbing as she vomited her guts out. After a full minute, she finally pulled her head back in and used a wet wipe to clean her face. "Chen Xiaobei, are you insane? Why didn’t you warn me before you shot!" Furious, she threw the used wipe at his head.

"Damn!" Chen Xiaobei swiftly dodged, a playful grin on his face. "Sorry, I really meant to tell you, but I just couldn’t hold it in. Besides, it’s not all my fault. Why did you point the barrel right at your own face? You were kind of asking for it, weren’t you?"

After a moment, he added, "Also, you’re so beautiful that all my attention was focused on you, so I guess I just forgot. Come on, don’t be mad. My stuff is all-natural and pollution-free. It might not smell great, but it’s good for your skin, you know!"

"Shut your mouth! I don’t believe a word of it!" Murong Xiaoyi puffed out her chest and glared fiercely at him.

She had to admit, though, that despite her dislike for men, Chen Xiaobei’s compliments were rather pleasant, and her anger began to subside. She was also secretly impressed that he could shoot so far; it was practically superhuman.

Realizing this only strengthened her resolve. She absolutely could not let this man get his hands on her cousin. He was too intense; her cousin would never be able to handle him!

Cousin, oh cousin, I’ve suffered so much for your sake. Can’t you just accept my love? Ugh, I’ll stop thinking about it. Persistence pays off. My cousin will definitely accept me!

Murong Xiaoyi shook her heavy head and frowned. "Hey, are you really sure you want to go to the Li family’s banquet? It’s clearly a trap. 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶

"I’ve told you before, although there are only two realms between Mysterious Grade Eighth Rank and Earth Grade First Rank, the gap is insurmountable. You might have some skills, but your realm is what it is. Shouldn’t we just go back?"

"Heh." Chen Xiaobei smiled. "If you’re scared, you can go back by yourself. I don’t need your help. I have my reasons for going, and frankly, I don’t take a mere Earth Grade First Rank seriously. Like I said, even if I can’t win, I can still escape."

With that, Chen Xiaobei sped up the car, an unwavering look in his eyes.

Meanwhile, a miserable howl erupted from within the Li family’s villa. "Ahhhhhh! Grandpa, I—I’m in so much pain! I can’t take it anymore!"

Lying on the bed, Li Maowen rolled back and forth, clutching his ’little brother’, which was so swollen it caused him unbearable agony. Ever since they returned from Mangniu Town, Li Xinghe had ordered Jiao Linghe to perform the Cold Ice Needle Technique on him. But not only did it fail, it actually worsened his condition. Now, his ’little brother’ was swollen to the size of a basketball, looking as if it could explode at any moment.

"Mao Wen, hang in there. Chen Xiaobei is on his way. I’ll make him cure you first, and then I’ll kill him," Li Xinghe said, his eyes ferocious as he sat in his wheelchair. "I, Li Xinghe, have been a power in the underworld for decades, and I’ve never suffered such a major defeat! Today, if Chen Xiaobei dares to show his face, he will not leave here alive!" His entire left leg had been amputated, and he would never stand again.

Just then, a man who bore a striking resemblance to Li Maowen walked in. The only difference was his dark skin, the determined look in his eyes, and the extraordinary aura he radiated. This was Li Maowen’s second older brother, Li Maochun, the top disciple of the Iron Fist Sect and an Earth Grade First Rank expert.

Li Xinghe had two sons and three grandsons in his lifetime, but after so many years in the underworld, enemies were inevitable. His two sons had been killed ten years ago, and his eldest grandson had died in infancy. Because of this, Li Xinghe treasured his two remaining grandsons, especially Li Maochun, who was born with superhuman strength. At the tender age of ten, he was accepted as the final, closed-door disciple of the Iron Fist Ancestor. He had mastered the Mountain Shaking Fist to a divine degree; a single punch from him could kill a grown bull.

"Maochun, is everything ready?" Li Xinghe asked, a rare, relaxed smile gracing his lips.

"Don’t worry, Grandfather. Everything is in order." A hint of contempt flashed across Li Maochun’s face. "Chen Xiaobei’s strength is at most Mysterious-Level Sixth Rank. He probably couldn’t even take one of my punches. Furthermore, I’ve brought ten junior brothers with me, all at the Mysterious Grade Eighth Rank. Honestly, I doubt I’ll even need to make a move. They should be more than enough to handle him."

"Maochun, you must not underestimate your enemy," Li Xinghe said with a frown. "I previously bribed Luo Wentian’s bodyguard, Jiang Feng, but Chen Xiaobei ruined that plan. Jiang Feng’s strength was only at the Mysterious Rank Third Grade, and at that time, Luo Wentian was certain Chen Xiaobei’s realm was only around the Mysterious Rank Fourth Grade! Yet, just a few days later, he managed to kill Liang Zheng. This boy is devious; you cannot be careless!"

"Second Brother, Grandpa’s right!" Li Maowen cried out. "Last time, Grandpa brought Liang Zheng and all those gunmen, but didn’t Chen Xiaobei still break his leg? That Chen Xiaobei is a devil, he’s incredibly wicked! Grandpa, why don’t we just surrender? There’s no need to fight him to the death, right?"

After his recent experiences, Li Maowen had developed a crippling fear of Chen Xiaobei, leading him to utter this rare pearl of wisdom. In the next second, however, two annoyed gazes shot toward him.

"Shut your mouth!" Li Xinghe roared. "I have dominated the underworld for decades and have never bowed my head to anyone! Moreover, the secret of Shanhe Village is the key to whether our Li Family can soar to new heights. Chen Xiaobei must die!"

His tone shifted as he turned back to his other grandson with a frown. "But Maochun, he does have a point that Chen Xiaobei is peculiar. I almost succeeded last time, but a cat suddenly appeared out of nowhere. It was incredibly formidable, clearly no ordinary creature. So, no matter what, we absolutely cannot let our guard down."

"Grandfather, rest assured." Li Maochun remained completely calm. He smiled and said, "Not only have I brought my junior brothers for reinforcements, but I also brought our Iron Fist Sect’s Treasure."

As he spoke, Li Maochun produced a golden glove from his shirt.

"This is called the Storm Gloves. Wearing it doubles the power of my Mountain Shaking Fist and creates a powerful vortex around me, preventing my opponent from even keeping their balance. With this, even if Chen Xiaobei’s realm were the same as mine, his death would be certain!"

"Damn, Second Brother, that’s incredible!" Li Maowen gasped, his pain momentarily forgotten in his excitement.

Just then, a servant ran in. "Reporting to the Family Head, Chen Xiaobei has arrived!"

"Let’s go! Follow me to greet him!" Excited, Li Xinghe tried to stand up. But he forgot he was missing a leg, lost his balance, and fell flat on his face with a loud THUD
