Days of Living with My Sister-in-Law

Chapter 385: Plucking Feathers from a Passing Goose

His heart was filled with uncertainty.

Seeing this, Elder Ming, in his astonishment, realized how lucky he was to have survived his last encounter with Jiang Hongchun.

If he had hesitated a bit longer then, he might have already been dead.

As the crowd was stunned, Jiang Hongchun calmly spoke: "From today on, anyone above the Mysterious Sect is forbidden to enter Songshan to trouble Chen Xiaobei."

"If anyone violates this, they will be killed without mercy."

Her voice was calm yet seemed to lay down the law, something no one could ignore, or they would face death!

Ye Shanhe was furious: "How presumptuous! You dare issue a ban on the four big families!"

"Who do you think you are!"

Qin Zhengyang also said sullenly: "The four big families have dominated the Lower Three Continents for a long time, and no one has ever dared to claim there’s a place we can’t go."

"Do you think that just because you’re a First-grade Mysterious Sect, you can subdue us! We, the four big families, all have the Earthly Sect guarding us, killing you would be a piece of cake!"

At this moment, Qin Zhengyang and Ye Shanhe stood together.

The four families have long regarded the Lower Three Continents as their forbidden area, and now Jiang Hongchun dares to issue a ban to the four big families, which is a slap in the face!

Anyone daring to challenge the authority of the four families, even if Jiang Hongchun is a Mysterious Sect, must die. The authority of the four big families must not be violated!

In the next moment, a crisp sound of a slap was heard!

Everyone was stunned.

Both Qin Zhengyang and Ye Shanhe had a palm print on their faces, and they were slapped and sent flying, landing on the ground, rolling more than ten meters away.

In an instant, the whole place fell silent!

Amidst the silence, a faint voice emerged.

"I’ll say it again, anyone who dares to violate the ban will be killed without mercy, and that includes the Earthly Sect of the four big families."

"Take this slap print to your family’s Earthly Sect. If they have any objections, they’re welcome to come to me anytime."

Everyone stared dumbfounded at Jiang Hongchun, who appeared indifferent, as if she hadn’t just slapped the core figures of the four big families.

As if she was just swatting away two flies casually.

"Damn! My aunt is the ultimate badass of Songshan..."

"However, Aunt has only recovered to the Mysterious Sect level. She’s doing this to buy time and create momentum for me. I can’t let her efforts go to waste!"

Chen Xiaobei’s eyes lit up, and he began to plan carefully in his mind.

"You, you dare..."

Ye Shanhe and Qin Zhengyang clumsily got up from the ground, the palm print on their faces bright red, blood oozing from their mouth and nose.

Ye Shanhe touched the palm print on his face, furious at being slapped in front of so many people, and was about to curse, but was hastily stopped by Elder Ming.

"This person is not simple; since she dares to strike, she must have confidence. Master Shan, don’t act impulsively."

"I’m convinced that when I fought her earlier, she was truly just a First-class Grandmaster, but in just one night she’s become a First-grade Mysterious Sect. In my humble opinion, she must have been suppressing her true level, deliberately leading us into a trap..."

"I’m afraid her level is not just a First-grade Mysterious Sect!"

Ye Shanhe gritted his teeth furiously but ultimately swallowed his anger, unwillingly.

Jiang Hongchun contemptuously dismissed the Earthly Sect, full of confidence; at this moment, he dared not make a rash move.

After all, if Jiang Hongchun truly possessed such strength, someone at his level was indeed not qualified to even converse with her!

"This slap, I will report to my family’s elder."

Qin Zhengyang, however, kept his anger hidden and stared intently at Jiang Hongchun.

Jiang Hongchun sneered dismissively, showing no interest in Ye Shanhe’s threat, instead giving Chen Xiaobei a signal.

Chen Xiaobei immediately understood and spoke for Jiang Hongchun, sneering:

"If you’ve got the guts, don’t waste time talking. Bring your family elder to see Miss Jiang! But it remains to be seen whether your family elder actually dares; in my view, neither of your elders has the guts."

Having been pressured repeatedly today, Chen Xiaobei already had a belly full of anger. With his goddess aunt holding the fort, he certainly wouldn’t miss the opportunity to be as arrogant as he pleased!

Since a deadly feud had already been established with the Qin and Ye families, he didn’t need to show any face to them!

"You brat, stop trying to act tough! What are you, stepping out to speak! Without anyone backing you, you’d already be a corpse!"

Qin Zhengyang raged; he could tolerate Jiang Hongchun because she’s strong, and he couldn’t gauge her depth, not daring to act rashly.

But what was Chen Xiaobei? Just a lowly ant! Yet he dared to provoke him again and again!

"You’re right, I am acting tough, so what? We’re all the same. Aren’t you relying on your Qin family background to show off?"

"If it’s one-on-one, I could crush you with one hand. We’re all relying on our backers to act tough, so what’s there to pretend? Now my backer is stronger than yours, so I’m standing here; can you do anything to me?"

Chen Xiaobei’s words were infuriating, yet he remained unharmed, more arrogant than Qin Zhengyang and Ye Shanhe!

Relying on their backers, neither was more superior than the other.

This time, Qin Zhengyang and Ye Shanhe were almost infuriated to the point of spitting blood, but they couldn’t do anything against Chen Xiaobei, since they were indeed acting tough with their backers.

In a one-on-one, they would be crushed by Chen Xiaobei.

Moreover, it seemed the tiger behind Chen Xiaobei was fiercer than their family’s elder.

That’s why they could only stand by as he acted arrogant!

"I’ll remember this!"

Ye Shanhe felt his face was utterly disgraced today, and in his rage, he turned to leave.

But at that moment, a voice came from behind him.

"Wait."

Upon hearing Chen Xiaobei’s voice, Elder Ming felt it was very familiar, thinking to himself that it couldn’t be good; was this brat going to...

Sure enough, Chen Xiaobei’s next words made him see darkness.

"After being beaten like this today, shouldn’t you at least compensate me for medicine expenses? You high-class families surely aren’t stingy, right?"

"You want me to pay for medicine expenses?"

Ye Shanhe was furious. Two from his side were killed, Zhao Qingshan was beaten half to death, yet Chen Xiaobei had the nerve to demand compensation, as if he wasn’t embarrassed!

"Master Shan, you’d, you’d better compensate..."

At this moment, Elder Ming weakly advised from the side, knowing Chen Xiaobei’s temperament, fearing resisting might lead to consequences beyond just compensation.

Ye Shanhe might end up leaving like Elder Ming did previously, wearing nothing but underwear...

"Are you crazy, siding with him?" Ye Shanhe angrily asked.

"I’m not, it’s just..."

Elder Ming felt bitter, unsure of what to say.

Chen Xiaobei chuckled coldly: "You’re not as sensible as this Old Bide. Anyway, not compensating is fine; just see if you can leave today!"

He stood by Jiang Hongchun, fully embracing the power of his backer!

Jiang Hongchun merely smiled faintly, gazing casually at Ye Shanhe: "Chen Xiaobei’s words make some sense, hitting someone requires compensation."

Although Jiang Hongchun felt acting this way was a bit low, since it’s her Xiaobei, she had to back him up with this pretense.

If it were her, she’d just take without asking!

"You..."

Ye Shanhe was about to go mad with anger, but couldn’t toughen up against the unfathomable Jiang Hongchun.

Eventually, he gritted his teeth and said: "I don’t have that much stuff on me!"

"What, trying to lie your way out?"

Chen Xiaobei was dissatisfied; he’s always known for picking off even the tiniest bits.

Since he’d gained the upper hand already, not squeezing Ye Shanhe would mean letting his aunt’s effort go to waste.
