Days of Living with My Sister-in-Law-Chapter 21 The Arrogant Xi Yao

Arriving at the riverbank, Chen Xiaobei saw Xi Yao from afar, sitting on the same large rock where they had first met. She was hugging her knees and gazing at the scenery across the river. Her waist-length hair swayed playfully in the breeze, and her beautiful silhouette was beyond compare!

However, the woman was still wearing absolutely nothing, which not only stirred a fire in Chen Xiaobei’s loins but also made him intensely angry. Although no one other than Chen Xiaobei could see Xi Yao within the Dragon Locking Formation, that didn’t eliminate the possibility of a one-in-a-million chance! This was the woman Chen Xiaobei had claimed for himself; no one else was worthy of seeing her body.

Even though Xi Yao looked down on him from the bottom of her heart, Chen Xiaobei knew he could slowly win her over. Someday, she would willingly submit to him.

Before Chen Xiaobei could even speak, Xi Yao noticed him. Though her gaze was icy, her glance back was enough to captivate all of creation and make worlds crumble.

"What are you doing here? How is your Realm cultivation going? When can you free me from this sea of suffering?" As soon as he approached, Xi Yao hit him with three soul-searching questions.

"Xi Yao, are you alright?" Chen Xiaobei was immediately irritated. "I just received your legacy last night! After I got back, I immediately started relentlessly f—er, cultivating! Even so, reaching the Mahayana Realm you spoke of seems like an eternity away. But don’t worry. With me here, freeing you from this sea of suffering will be no trouble at all!"

With that, Chen Xiaobei sat down beside her.

"You smell so good..."

He wasn’t sure what was up with the Demon Realm Queen’s body, but she always emitted a peculiar, sweet fragrance. It was as if Xi Yao herself were a piece of Agarwood Jade, utterly intoxicating. And so, an impractical thought surfaced in Chen Xiaobei’s mind.

If she eats, will she actually have to use the bathroom? Wouldn’t that stink?!

Chen Xiaobei was tormented by the thought, while Xi Yao, in her own way, was truly pitiful. He felt he couldn’t be too selfish and had to improve her standard of living within his capabilities. So, he simply handed her a watermelon, saying, "I had some free time and brought you something to eat. I have no idea if you’ll like it!" 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

"Food?" Xi Yao’s beautiful eyes clearly lit up. But she quickly cleared her throat and said, "Forget it. My body was long ago tempered to the point where I can go without food for ten thousand years. I lost interest in such things long ago."

Her inner world, however, was the complete opposite.

Oh my heavens! This watermelon looks so delicious! I can tell it was cultivated with Nine Heavens Sweet Dew. I haven’t eaten anything in ten thousand years; I’m practically drooling. No, I have to resist! I am the dignified Demon Realm Queen, after all! I have to endure. I’ll eat it after Chen Xiaobei leaves!

With that thought, Xi Yao urged him, "Although I can abstain from food, this watermelon is a kind gesture, so I will accept it. Now that our business is concluded, you should leave. Remember to cultivate diligently!"

"Leave? Yeah, right," Chen Xiaobei chuckled to himself. Xi Yao might be the Demon Realm Queen, merciless and cunning, but she hadn’t lived through the modern era. Her flimsy tricks couldn’t even deceive a ten-year-old of today, so how could she possibly fool someone as shrewd as Chen Xiaobei?

SMACK—

Chen Xiaobei slapped the watermelon, breaking it into several pieces on the spot. He grabbed one and began to munch on it with relish.

"Come on! Don’t be a stranger, let’s eat together. I have to say, this watermelon is seriously delicious. It just ripened, and I brought it to you before I even had a bite myself! See? I treat you pretty well, don’t I?"

Despite his words, Chen Xiaobei paid her no mind, continuing to devour his slice. The sweet fragrance filled the air, and he was so engrossed that he was practically drooling.

Xi Yao’s lungs were about to explode with rage; she wanted nothing more than to kick him to death.

And he calls this treating me well? You know I’m too proud to show any weakness in front of others, so why can’t you just fucking get lost? He’s messing with me! He’s definitely messing with me!

At this thought, Xi Yao clenched her fists, her small body trembling. But she soon relaxed her hands. Chen Xiaobei now possessed her legacy, and her bottom still ached from the spanking he’d given her last night. That feeling of being left hanging was unbearably awful! If he spanked her again and that bastard just turned and left, who could possibly endure that?

Damn it! Out of sight, out of mind. I just won’t look, fine?

Thinking this, Xi Yao simply turned her body away, huffing, "I have no interest in eating. You can have it all yourself. Just hurry up and get lost when you’re done!"

"Holy shit, what a tsundere," Chen Xiaobei muttered, taken aback.

He moved closer to her, holding a slice of watermelon to her lips. "Really not going to eat?" he teased. "I’m telling you, you can drop the act with me. If you want some, just say so. Why make things so difficult for yourself? Tsk tsk, be good now. Come on, open up! It’s really delicious."

Chen Xiaobei was being quite mischievous, rubbing the sweet flesh of the watermelon against her soft lips again and again. The sweet juice made her mouth glisten, tempting him to lean in and plant a kiss right there.

But Chen Xiaobei was a man of principle!

If you look down on me, then I’m damn well not going to sleep with you! We can both just hold out. I can’t be the first to show my affection, because the one who falls in love first is always the loser.

But not sleeping with her didn’t mean he couldn’t touch her, right? And so, Chen Xiaobei’s other hand snaked around her slender waist. "Alright, I’m begging you, okay?" he laughed. "Can you please just eat some and stop freaking pretending with me!"

Xi Yao was already completely stupefied by her craving, so much so that she didn’t even notice his hand on her waist. She parted her lips slightly and, with great ’reluctance’, took a tiny bite of the watermelon.

"Wow! It’s... it’s so good!"

An indescribable flavor flooded her senses, and she felt an overwhelming urge to cry. In the next moment, she dropped all pretense, grabbed the slice, and started wolfing it down. She ate without any decorum, like a starving beggar, and the sight made even Chen Xiaobei’s heart ache for her.

"Hey, hey, slow down! That watermelon is huge, don’t make yourself sick. Besides, there’s plenty more where that came from. I’ll bring you more another day!"

"Mind your own business!" Xi Yao shot him a glare and continued to eat at a frantic pace, terrified that if she slowed down, he would eat it all.

Chen Xiaobei continued his campaign to win Xi Yao’s heart, saying, "You know, Xi Yao, I think you live a pretty tiring life. I get it. As the Demon Realm Queen, you have your pride and your ego. But it’s the twenty-first century now. You need to keep up with the times and look forward. Eat when you want to eat, laugh when you want to laugh. There’s no need to pretend you’re above it all. See? Half a watermelon is gone just like that, and you still claim you don’t like it? This is just a watermelon. If I showed you the other delicacies of the modern world, you’d probably turn into a super foodie."

Xi Yao’s eyes lit up. "What kind of delicacies?"

Chen Xiaobei quickly pulled out his phone and found some short videos of delicious food. They showed everything: lobster, abalone, cake, hot pot, and more. Xi Yao’s eyes were glued to the screen. The spicy hot pot, in particular, with its meat that looked rich but not greasy, seemed so tantalizing that she could almost smell its fragrant aroma right through the screen.

"This hot pot looks good. Bring some for me to try next time," Xi Yao commanded outright.

This just goes to show that whether one is a god or a mortal, once they choose to let go of their lofty airs, they can never truly go back. That was what happened to Xi Yao. Her attitude was noticeably less pretentious, and her eyes even held a hint of eager anticipation.

But Chen Xiaobei just shook his head and said, "No money. Can’t afford it!"

"Chen Xiaobei! How dare you mess with me!"

Xi Yao exploded on the spot, her chest heaving with rage.
