Chapter 408 408: Missing Xiaoyi So Much
"Are you two doing well here?"
Chen Xiaobei affectionately patted the two girls' little heads.
Since meeting the sisters, the three of them hadn't spent much time together, and Chen Xiaobei felt sorry for not being able to accompany them more.
But the sisters didn't mind at all and said in unison,
"Master, we're doing well here. Auntie treats us kindly. It's just a pity we're too dumb to learn the skills auntie taught us."
Chen Xiaobei gently replied, "Some things depend on fate, you can't force it, so there's no need for you two to blame yourselves."
"As long as you live happily, that's enough!"
"But Master, my sister and I want to help you too. Every time I think we're just a pair of useless people, I feel really ashamed!"
Qinqin said unhappily with a flushed face.
Although Yaoyao was shy and didn't express herself as formally as her sister, her eyes were filled with sadness.
At this moment, Jiang Hongchun put away her sword and said, "Xiaobei, after observing the sisters for some time, I found their constitution was indeed unsuitable for martial arts."
"But strangely enough, both Yaoyao and Qinqin are particularly sensitive to Spiritual Power, especially Yaoyao, who, even with her Third Eye unopened, can see things we can't."
"So I suspect that they might have undergone some body modification when they were young, otherwise, their current condition wouldn't be possible."
"As for their background, they only know they came from an organization called Loli Island, but they have no memory before that."
"However, I've always suspected that Zhao Qingshan's motive for capturing the sisters wasn't straightforward. Recently, through Elder Zhong Wannian, I've secretly investigated Zhao Qingshan and found out his father had already passed away over a decade ago."
"So, when he said he captured the sisters to get a heart transplant for his father, it now seems like a ruse; there must be something else going on."
Chen Xiaobei frowned and said.
Qinqin exclaimed, "Master, that's not right. My sister and I did see an old man lying on a hospital bed, and that bad guy did call him father. If you hadn't come quickly, my sister and I would have been doomed!"
Yaoyao also nodded repeatedly, saying she wasn't mistaken.
Chen Xiaobei couldn't figure this out, but he still trusted Zhong Wannian's investigation results, believing Zhao Qingshan must have some hidden agenda that they hadn't uncovered yet.
The good thing is, with auntie being such a crucial presence by the sisters' side, Chen Xiaobei really didn't know how to take care of them otherwise.
Thinking of this, Chen Xiaobei said, "Auntie, I didn't come here today because of Zhao Qingshan. Ye Shanhe, that fool, sent me five stalks of Tricolor Lingyin Grass, and I extorted another five from him. He'll be delivering them soon. With these ten stalks of Tricolor Lingyin Grass, I guarantee your injuries will be completely healed within seven days!"
"That's wonderful."
Jiang Hongchun opened her mouth wide in excitement.
Her internal injuries had been with her for two decades. Although Chen Xiaobei had recently healed part of it, her body still felt uncomfortable at times.
If she's truly healed this time, Jiang Hongchun would be invincible in the Lower Three Continents. By then, who would dare bully my Xiaobei?
After filling the bathtub with water, the sisters eagerly went for the medicinal bath.
As for Xiao Hua, Chen Xiaobei hadn't forgotten, taking out two roots of Century-old Ginseng, he said,
"Xiao Hua, these two ginseng roots should boost your strength, right?"
"Century-old Ginseng?"
Xiao Hua's cat eyes lit up as she speechlessly said, "Brother Bei, you're underestimating us Heavenly Demon Tigers. Let me explain my current state: I'm basically a walking medicine jar!"
"Not to mention two roots of Century-old Ginseng, even a hundred roots might not increase my strength by much."
"So, Brother Bei, finding herbs for me is a long-term task for you!"
Even so, the greedy cat immediately grabbed the ginseng and started munching on it, making a crisp sound.
As for Chen Xiaobei, he was left dumbfounded.
But being dumbfounded didn't help. If Xiao Hua could cultivate, she'd undoubtedly be an elite assistant for him.
It seemed unrealistic to solely rely on Ye Shanhe for herbs now.
Chen Xiaobei thought he should find time to visit Haidong, empty out the Ye Family's treasure vault, and then sleep with Ye Shanhe's wife.
In twenty years, Chen Xiaobei had never encountered a man as disgusting as Ye Shanhe.
They originally had no enmity, yet he acted like some elite, asking for trouble. Isn't this just seeking a beating?
Since you act without righteousness, don't blame me for being unkind. Mother and daughter are all mine. After all, they're not related, so it's not against the rules!
Besides, what if they were related?
Zhang Yingying is dying for me to sleep with her now. That girl's looks are blossoming by the day. Once she's eighteen, Chen Xiaobei fears he really won't be able to resist that temptation!
"Master, can you stay for dinner today?"
Right then, the sisters looked at Chen Xiaobei expectantly, their eyes misty.
Chen Xiaobei felt his heart melt, but just as he was about to agree, Luo Qingcheng's call came through:
"Xiaobei, can you keep me company? Xiaoyi left, and I really miss her—"
Saying this, Luo Qingcheng started to sob softly.
"Where are you? I'll come find you now!"
Chen Xiaobei was equally upset.
Luo Qingcheng said, "Rose Restaurant in Songshan, come over now."
"Yaoyao, Qinqin, sorry! Something came up, so I can't join you for dinner this time."
Chen Xiaobei shrugged helplessly.
The sisters obediently replied in unison, "Master, it's okay. You go ahead and do what you need to; there will always be more opportunities!"
"Why are they so good to me?"
Chen Xiaobei felt especially shameless, having let down the sisters' pure love.
But Luo Qingcheng's situation really was urgent due to Murong Xiaoyi's departure, which hit her the hardest. If not for everything that happened last night, Chen Xiaobei would have gone to her sooner.
Soon, Chen Xiaobei arrived at Rose Restaurant.
In the booth, Luo Qingcheng, rarely seen in a turquoise long dress, looked like a neighborly elder sister, exuding both beauty and intelligence.
Sitting across from her, before he could speak, Luo Qingcheng forced a smile and said,
"This restaurant is Xiaoyi's favorite place in Songshan. She said roses symbolize passionate love, represent undying devotion. It was right here in your seat that she first confessed to me."
"At the time, I thought she was crazy and rejected her sternly, but she was relentless, pursuing me until I met you and she knew you too."
"Since then, Xiaoyi changed, became even more lively than before. But why, why does fate have to toy with her like this?"
"Xiaobei, I really miss Xiaoyi, I really do..."
With that, Luo Qingcheng lowered her head and started crying at the table!
