After Descending the Mountain, Seven Big Brothers Spoil Me - Chapter 113

Chapter 113: Hard Working Zhouzhou
So noisy.

Zhouzhou furrowed her small brows, hugging her golden Pixiu and rolled over, her chubby buttocks wiggling up and down. Soon, her whole body disappeared under the blanket as she covered her ears tightly with her chubby paws.

I won’t listen, I won’t listen. Ignore the annoying noise.

Ancestral Master expressionlessly lifted the blanket and pulled her arm, urging her, “Hurry up and complete more tasks, repair my golden body, and change your fate of being short on money. When the time comes, you can sleep as long as you want on a mountain of gold.”

“I find it quite comfortable lying on this soft bed right now,” Zhouzhou mumbled. After speaking, she tilted her small body and plopped back onto the bed, deftly clutching a corner of the blanket. She rolled around, wrapping herself up tightly like a silkworm pupa. Contentedly biting her lips, a gentle snoring sound emerged.

Giving up even a mountain of gold?

Indeed, becoming complacent.

This won’t do.

Ancestral Master continued, “A golden mountain, golden bowls, golden chopsticks, golden bed, and a big golden chain… Ah, it’s a pity. You have no chance with all these. The gold you obtained will just fly away.”

Fly away?

No way!

Zhouzhou immediately sat up, put on her clothes, strapped on her peach wood sword, and with a serious expression on her little face, she said, “Let’s go, Ancestral Master!”

Seeing her spirited appearance, Ancestral Master nodded in satisfaction. Finally, she was acting appropriately.

He pinched his finger and furrowed his brows, “We need to hurry.”

“Yes.” Zhouzhou nodded and dashed out with her short legs.

After more than two hours, they arrived at a forest.

As soon as they arrived, Zhouzhou felt a sinister aura, faintly sensing the presence of someone unfamiliar.

Oh no!

Zhouzhou’s nose twitched, and she quickly ran inwards. This aura was harmful to people!

The forest was filled with malevolent energy, and the visibility became narrow.

Zhouzhou threw a stack of talismans, and the area in front suddenly brightened. A figure appeared within her sight, looking somewhat familiar.

Zhouzhou couldn’t help but pause her steps.

Since entering, Ye Lingfeng had already sensed a chilling aura. A sharp voice sounded in his ears, followed by a gust of wind. He instinctively drew out his dagger and swung it, instantly reducing the sound and slightly warming the temperature.

He frowned, looking around with vigilance.

What’s going on here? It’s so eerie.

Just as he was thinking, the chilling aura from earlier surrounded him from all directions. The sound of the wind became even sharper, sending shivers down his spine.

Gripping his dagger tightly, his gaze heavy, he swiftly attacked in the direction of the loudest sound.

His unexpected attack actually dispersed a significant amount of the malevolent energy. A few meters away.

Curiously, Zhouzhou squatted on the ground and looked at the knife in his hand. It was quite amazing. The knife seemed to be stained with a lot of blood, but it was not covered in blood stains. On the contrary, the merit light on it almost blinded her eyes. It was comparable to the one from her Ancestral Master.

Only the dagger was smaller, while Ancestral Master’s was much bigger.

“Oh, this person…” Ancestral Master poked his head out of the statue and looked at Ye Lingran, then at Zhouzhou. He was about to speak when he saw a surge of malevolent energy suddenly stabbing towards his back, as if it was going to pierce his heart.

Danger!

Zhouzhou immediately flew forward and used her sword to push back the malevolent energy.

Ye Lingfeng immediately felt the disappearance of the cold energy behind his back. He turned his head to see who saved him, but there was no one there.

“I’m here,” Zhouzhou said with a soft snort when she saw that he didn’t notice her.

She was just a little short, what was the big deal?

“Zhouzhou?” Ye Lingfeng looked at her in astonishment.

“It’s me.” Zhouzhou finally felt satisfied. When she saw him about to say something, she waved her hand and said, “We can talk later.”

Saying that, she looked around and when the malevolent energy saw her, it all retreated.

“Trying to escape? No way!” Zhouzhou coldly snorted, a trace of coldness flashing in her brows. The peach wood sword was wrapped with Exorcism Talismans. She fiercely stabbed towards the place with the thickest malevolent energy.

The malevolent energy was stung by her attack and let out a miserable scream. Its body twisted and in the next moment, it completely exploded. The remaining malevolent energy was immediately dispelled by the Exorcism Talismans.

The temperature in the woods instantly returned to normal, and the wind no longer carried a strange sharpness.

Zhouzhou retracted her peach wood sword and stomped hard on the ground, crushing the last trace of malevolent energy. “Disturbing my sleep! How much money would I have to spend to grow taller?!”

She was really annoyed.

Ye Lingfeng looked at this scene in shock. He was initially still immersed in the shock of how powerful this little girl was. He even doubted if she was the same Zhouzhou he knew. But when he heard her words, he instantly came back to his senses. The corner of his mouth twitched. It was indeed the little money-grubber from the Qin family.

“How did you end up here?” he asked as he walked up to her.

With the malevolent energy eliminated, Zhouzhou finally felt at ease. She yawned and lowered her head, saying, “To earn money, of course.”

Who would come out in the middle of the night if not for money?

Hearing this, Ye Lingfeng was taken aback. “Are you in need of money? Doesn’t your father give you money?”

Zhouzhou widened her eyes and instantly became spirited. Angrily, she said, “Your father doesn’t give you money!”

Sharp Tongue Uncle is just like a Stinky Little Brother who can’t talk!

His father indeed didn’t give him money.

Ye Lingfeng thought in his heart but didn’t say it out loud. Seeing the little girl yawning continuously, her peach wood sword propped against the ground, her chin resting on it, and standing there almost falling asleep, he found it somewhat amusing and also a bit distressing. “Let’s go, I’ll take you back.”

“Okay,” Zhouzhou responded and followed him to the car. Her small body tilted, and she lay on the back seat, falling into a deep sleep.

“Hey…” Ye Lingfeng called out but was afraid of waking her up, so he had to slow down the car.

After driving for almost an hour, the car finally stopped. Ye Lingfeng turned his head and couldn’t figure out how the little girl managed to get there.

Thinking of her saying earlier that she wanted to earn money, he furrowed his brows. Wasn’t the Qin family providing her with money? Why did they need a little child to earn it?

For some reason, a sense of discontent surged in his heart.

After a while, he walked to the back seat and carried Zhouzhou out. At this moment, the gates of the Qin family were tightly closed. He was about to take Zhouzhou back to his own house when the gate suddenly opened.

Qin Lie walked out from inside, holding a blanket in his hand, and walked towards him with big strides. He took the little girl from his hand, and the blanket wrapped around her, covering her completely. He said calmly, “There’s no need for CEO Ye to go to the trouble.”

With his arms empty, Ye Lingfeng inexplicably felt a sense of loss. He looked at Qin Lie, frowned, and said in a deep voice, “If the Qin family can’t afford to raise a child, just say so. There’s no reason to let a child go out and earn money in the middle of the night.”

Upon hearing this, Qin Lie pursed his lips and glanced at the bundle in Zhouzhou’s arms.

Ancestral Master inside suddenly felt a chill on the back of his neck and shrank back, not daring to make a sound.

“There’s no need for CEO Ye to worry about this. Besides…” Qin Lie raised his eyelids and glanced at him. “If it weren’t for CEO Ye running around, Zhouzhou wouldn’t have had to go either.”

The little girl ran silently, and he only discovered that the bed was empty when he went to cover her with a blanket. The big bundle in the corner was also untied, and the peach wood sword inside was gone, so he guessed what she went to do.

Although he believed in the girl’s abilities, he still worried when she went out in the middle of the night. He couldn’t sleep and finally waited for some movement. When he came out, he saw Ye Lingfeng holding her in his arms.

His mood instantly turned sour.

Ye Lingfeng was choked by his words and remembered what happened in the forest just now. He couldn’t help but glance at Zhouzhou again.

This little girl seems to have extraordinary abilities.

Smelling a familiar scent, Zhouzhou’s small head nuzzled against Qin Lie’s neck, rubbing her eyes and sleepily saying, “Dad?”

“Mm.” Qin Lie responded, and the coldness in his eyes immediately softened. His big hand gently patted her back, saying, “Go to sleep.”

“Okay.” Zhouzhou tilted her head and rested on his shoulder, falling asleep within seconds.

Her mischievous little feet wiggled from under the blanket, seemingly carefree.

She slept soundly in Qin Lie’s embrace, expressing her implicit trust.

In the next moment, Qin Lie made a move, wrapping her feet tightly in the blanket without even glancing at Ye Lingfeng. He lifted his steps and walked inside.

Back in the room, when he took off her shoes, Qin Lie noticed that the little girl’s feet were red and blistered from walking too much.

His gaze darkened, and he applied some ointment for her.

Feeling more comfortable, Zhouzhou’s chubby toes twitched, and she turned over, continuing to sleep deeply.

Qin Lie tucked her in and glanced at the bag nearby. He took it to the study and tapped on the statue with his fingertips. His expression turned serious, and his voice sounded cold and impatient, “Come out.”
