Chapter Twenty Brother-in-law

  Xu Ying smiled faintly and leaned in close to me, patting my shoulder.

  "Do you still remember the poison on your body?"

  Xu Ying pointed at my shoulder and said a sentence to me.

  It's only been a few days since this thing happened, how could I forget?

  "I remember!" I nodded, "Of course I remember."

  "You've already been poisoned." Xu Ying said to me.

  "What? It's that serious? Didn't Ah Li already help me suppress it?" I asked, stunned, turning to Xue Ying.

  Xu Ying listened to my words and shook her head.

  "A-Ling's method is just a temporary solution to quench your thirst," Xu Ying said to me, "Her method can slow down the onset of toxicity, but it also allows the toxin to penetrate your internal organs more quickly."

  "Really?"

  I actually don't care about this matter at this time, what I'm more afraid of is the female ghost in my home.

  "Yes, I originally thought that Ah Liang's actions would harm you, but now it turns out that Ah Liang's method has saved you. If not for the fact that you were poisoned, you would have been eaten by that vengeful ghost by now." Xu Ying said to me.

  "Alright." I nodded, "I'll thank Ah Li properly later, but what should I do now?"

  Xu Ying faced my inquiry without speaking, revealing only a faint smile.

  This faint smile makes me puzzled, I don't know if she can really save me or not.

  After a brief silence, I couldn't help but ask: "Is there any way you can save me?"

  A Li is not here, Xu Yan is also not here, at this time I can only ask for help from the Xu Ying in front of me.

  "There is." Xu Ying still had an elusive smile on her face.

  "What's going on?" I asked Xue Ying urgently.

  "I can go help you deal with that vengeful spirit," said Xu Ying.

  "Can you beat her?" I looked at Xu Ying and asked.

  "Alright." Xu Ying nodded slightly.

  "What else can be said? Let's go back quickly!" As soon as I heard that, I wanted to reach out and pull Xue Ying to head back.

  Xu Ying suddenly shook off my hand.

  "What's wrong?" I looked at Xu Ying and asked, not understanding what she meant.

  "Why should I help you?" Xu Ying looked at me and asked expressionlessly.

  "Why help me?" This question made me laugh and cry at the same time. "Are you going to just watch me die?"

  "Heh heh." Xu Ying nodded, "I can just watch you die, can't I?"

  "Sister, stop joking around! Hurry up and help me out! I'm your brother-in-law after all. You should at least show some respect for Xu Yan's sake and save me this one time." I quickly tried to persuade her with nice words, hoping that Xu Ying could help me out in this situation.

  To be honest, I really didn't expect Xu Ying to make things difficult for me. Judging from her appearance, Xu Ying is a rather mature and charming woman, and by nature, she shouldn't have fooled me on this matter.

  "My relationship with my sister is not good." Xu Ying said coldly.

  "Is your relationship with Xu Yan bad?" I rubbed my head, "Even if it's bad, you have to save me! Can you bear to watch me die like this?"

  "You can go find a living person's liver!" Xu Ying said to me.

  "How can that be? Don't say I couldn't find it, even if I found it, I wouldn't be able to find it." I said to Xu Ying, "That female ghost is simply a lunatic, what if she gets addicted to killing people, sooner or later I'll be killed by her."

  "Alright, I won't make small talk with you either." Xu Ying said to me, "Let's open the skylight and speak plainly."

  "Ying Jie, just say what you have to say quickly." I was getting anxious in my heart.

  "It's simple logic." Xu Ying looked at me and said, "I can help you, but I won't help you for nothing."

  "Do you have conditions?" I finally understood what Xue Ying meant.

  "Yes, I have conditions." Xu Ying nodded.

  "What conditions?" I asked.

  "I'll let you marry me!" Xu Ying said to me.

  "What? Marry you? What does that mean?" I blinked, momentarily unable to react, not understanding what Xu Ying meant by the word "marry".

  "It's just you and me going to bed." Xu Ying said very naturally.

  I was suddenly speechless and didn't know how to respond to Xu Ying's words.

  "This is my only condition." Xu Ying emphasized again to me.

  "I said, Elder Sister Ying, you're not joking with me, are you?" I asked, forcing myself to look straight at Xu Ying.

  "A joke?" Xu Ying shook her head, "You can take it as a joke if you want. Whatever! There are still many guests downstairs, I'll go down first."

  Xu Ying finished speaking and turned around to head downstairs.

  "Wait, wait." I hastily pulled Xue Ying back. "Sister Ying, can't we discuss this further?"

  "This is my only condition." Xu Ying's tone was very firm, as if she had already made up her mind.

  My mind was suddenly confused, I really couldn't understand why this woman insisted that I marry her? I don't look particularly handsome, and I don't have much money either. Besides, a demon shouldn't like money, should she?

  "Can you tell me why?" I asked Xuan Ying, "You wouldn't also have a crush on me, would you?"

  "Do you think it's possible?" Xu Ying said with a cold laugh, speaking to me.

  "It's unlikely." I asked, "Then why are you? Are you feeling lonely and cold? You shouldn't be, there are so many handsome guys in the bar downstairs."

  Xu Ying shook her head and said to me: "My sister and I don't get along."

  "You've said that a few times already," I hummed, "what's wrong with it exactly?"

  "I'm jealous of her," Xu Ying said to me, "from the beginning, almost all good things are hers, I don't like it."

  Xu Ying spoke straightforwardly, without any twists or turns, directly stating that she was jealous of her younger sister Xu Yan.

  "You want to use me to avenge Xu Yan?" I guessed.

  "Right, you're very clever." Xu Ying said, "If Xu Yan loves you so much and I snatch you away from her, hehe..."

  "That's enough." Xu Ying's words made me extremely disgusted, I really didn't expect that Xu Ying would be this kind of woman. She actually wanted to use such a vicious method to deal with Xu Yan.

  Although I don't like Xu Yan either, doing something like this is too against my conscience and exceeds my principles of doing things.

  "You can refuse my terms, I won't force you."

  Xu Ying said a sentence and was about to turn around and head downstairs again.

  "You're not forcing me? Isn't this what you call forcing me?" I exclaimed in indignation.

  "Think whatever you want," said Xu Ying, "I've made my terms, whether or not you agree is up to you."

  "Are you close sisters, must it be like this?" I really want to advise Xue Ying.

  "If you don't have anything else, then I'll go first." Xue Ying said to me.

  She finished speaking and walked downstairs without looking back.

  My head was spinning and I leaned against the wall for a while.

  I'm not used to being threatened by others, especially women. Even if Xu Ying is a beauty, I still don't like it.

  Damn it!

  One day when I have the ability, I'll put each of you on the bed and make you beg for mercy!

  I spat a mouthful of saliva on the ground and quickly ran downstairs, catching up with Xu Ying.

  "Xu Ying!"

  I shouted.

  "I agree to your terms."

  "Don't even think about backing out!" Xu Ying turned around, looked at me and said.

  "A real man's word is his bond, once spoken it cannot be taken back." I said to Xu Ying, "My words are like nails, once spoken they can't be swallowed back, I've never gone back on my word."

  "Hehe." Xue Ying smiled, "Alright, I believe you. If you dare to go back on your word, I naturally have ways to deal with you."

  "Don't worry about it." I hummed a sentence, very dissatisfied with Xu Ying's attitude towards me.

  "Let's go." Xue Ying seemed to ignore my tone and said to me as usual.

  "Leave? Just like that?" I sized up Xu Ying and asked her.

  "Hmm? What's wrong? Are you going to stay overnight again?" Xu Ying smiled.

  "You're going to catch ghosts in this outfit?" I stared at Xu Ying, disbelieving.

  "What's wrong with these clothes? Is that ghost a pervert or something?"

  Xu Ying made a joke, but I didn't find it funny at all.

  She is now wearing black stockings, half-exposing her twin peaks, and the whole person is extremely sexy and charming. This kind of clothing is very suitable for a bar, but if you go to catch ghosts... I dare not imagine what would happen if she fought with that female ghost and ended up exposing herself.

  But this is none of my business anyway, as long as she can save me, that's all that matters.

  I took Xu Ying and walked towards my home.

  All the way, Xu Ying followed behind me and didn't say a word to me. I also had nothing to say to Xu Ying, for this kind of woman who wouldn't even let her own sister go, it's really hard to communicate with her, and it makes me lazy to communicate with her.
