After Descending the Mountain, Seven Big Brothers Spoil Me - Chapter 114

Chapter 114: Kidnapping Their Big Tiger
After a few minutes, Ancestral Master remained as silent as a shocked chicken. He tightly covered his mouth and refused to come out.

Seeing this, Qin Lie sneered, “If you don’t come out, then from tomorrow onwards, Zhouzhou will no longer help you accumulate merits.”

Upon hearing this, Ancestral Master became anxious and stuck his head out of the statue, saying, “Why are you like this? We had a contract!”

Qin Lie’s expression remained unchanged. “Breaking the contract is no big deal. I’ll compensate you for the breach.”

The compensation would be a large sum, but for the dusty Ancestral Master, it was nothing more than a drop in the bucket.

Feeling trapped, Ancestral Master reluctantly floated out of the statue. “Tell me, what do you need?”

“What happened just now? Tell me about it.”

So that’s what he wanted to know.

Ancestral Master breathed a sigh of relief and replied, “It’s nothing, really. There was some malevolent aura causing trouble, so I asked Zhouzhou to help eliminate it. That malevolent aura was close to materializing, and it would have been a great merit for her to dispel it.”

As he spoke, Ancestral Master looked at his golden thumbnail with satisfaction.

However, Qin Lie shot him a cold glance. “Is that why you woke Zhouzhou up in the middle of the night to work for you?”

“Come on, you’re Ancestral Master of the Sanqing Temple, and Zhouzhou is your disciple. She’s only four years old. Can you bear to do that?”

Hearing these words, Ancestral Master felt somewhat guilty and awkwardly scratched his nose. “Well, it’s just that the malevolent aura was causing trouble in the middle of the night.”

Suddenly, he remembered something and paused, looking at Qin Lie suspiciously. “Why do I feel like you’re concerned about Zhouzhou coming back with that man just now? He and Zhouzhou…”

Before he could finish his sentence, Qin Lie’s eyes suddenly turned cold, startling Ancestral Master into silence. The rest of his words got stuck in his throat.

Damn, why is this guy even scarier than the most fearsome ghost he had ever seen!

Qin Lie gave him a cold glance, stood up, and said, “From now on, you’re not allowed to let Zhouzhou go on missions in the middle of the night. If she doesn’t grow taller, I’ll use your golden light to make up for it!”

After speaking, he left with a dark expression on his face.

Ancestral Master stood dumbfounded in place, scratching his head. Is Zhouzhou’s height really his concern? He felt like it was just an excuse.

Thinking about Qin Lie’s expression earlier, Ancestral Master couldn’t help but shiver. He quickly flew back into the statue and lay down on his big bed, finally feeling relieved.

Zhouzhou’s dad was really scary. How could she withstand him?

As it turns out, Zhouzhou could withstand Qin Lie, but the person who couldn’t was him!

He was the only one who would wake someone up in the middle of the night to work.

After the commotion from yesterday, Zhouzhou was exhausted and didn’t wake up even when the sun was high. It wasn’t until she heard a roar that her eyelids twitched, and she ran to the window to see what was happening outside.

She saw something swiftly pass by outside, and her eyes lit up. She immediately chased after it.

Next door, the Ye family.

“Something’s wrong!” Chen Tuo anxiously pushed open the study door, his face filled with worry. “Boss, General ran away.”

“What?” Ye Lingfeng stood up abruptly, his face slightly changed. “Didn’t I ask you to tie it up in the backyard?”

“I did, but Boss, you also know how strong General is. It chewed through the iron chain and ran away on its own.”

As he spoke, cold sweat began to bead on Chen Tuo’s forehead.

General was a small white tiger. Its father, King, was saved by Ye Lingfeng by chance, and it had been by his side ever since. General was born just last year and was only one year old.

This time, they didn’t bring King along and only brought General back. They didn’t expect that despite its young age, the General’s combat power was no weaker than its tiger king father. They couldn’t keep an eye on it no matter what they did.

It was wild and unruly, a complete troublemaker. Ever since it was born, it would destroy everything in its path. Its fur was in a terrible state. Chen Tuo even specially entrusted a professional animal trainer to train it for a month before bringing it back yesterday, but who could have expected it would escape today?

If it harmed someone…

He didn’t dare to think further.

“Check the surveillance cameras and find it quickly.” Ye Lingfeng made a decisive decision and quickly walked outside.

However, just as they reached the entrance, they suddenly stopped.

Chen Tuo looked at the white bundle in Zhouzhou’s arms and couldn’t help but swallow nervously. “L-Little Baldy, what are you holding?”

Ye Lingfeng’s heart also tightened, and he said in a low voice, “Zhouzhou, don’t move.”

As he spoke, he approached gently, wanting to take General away, fearing that it would suddenly go wild and bite off the newly grown fuzz on Zhouzhou’s head.

Hearing the sound, Zhouzhou turned her head curiously and looked at them, tilting her head. “Huh, Sharp Tongue Uncle, Stinky Little Brother?”

This time, Chen Tuo didn’t even have time to worry about being called Stinky Little Brother. His eyes were fixed on General as he said, “General, come here.”

Unexpectedly, General ignored him completely.

Zhouzhou furrowed her brows. “Stinky Little Brother, who are you calling?”

Of course, she was referring to the tiger in her arms!

Chen Tuo’s heart was pounding in his throat, veins bulging on his forehead. He never expected that this little brat would dare to hold General in her arms.

As he was speaking, Ye Lingfeng had already walked up to her side, about to reach out and take General. But General sensed it and suddenly turned its head, opening its mouth and roaring at him, “Roar!”

Although the voice still sounded immature, the fierceness and dominance of the king of beasts were evident.

Ye Lingfeng’s eyebrows furrowed even tighter. Did General just warn him not to approach?

This had never happened before.

Due to King’s influence, although General still retained its wild nature, it had never shown any resistance towards him.

But now, its meaning was clear.

What was going on?

Just as he was thinking, he saw Zhouzhou gently soothing and rubbing the fur on General’s body, cooing, “Wangcai, don’t be afraid, I’ll protect you.”

As she spoke, she turned her head and looked at Ye Lingfeng, slightly leaning to the side to shield General, watching him warily. “Sharp Tongue Uncle, what do you want to do?”

Chen Tuo looked at this scene in astonishment. What did she call General? Wangcai? What a dog-like name.

No, that wasn’t the point. The point was that General actually let her hold it like this. Last time, when he wanted to hold it, it almost bit off his arm.

Ye Lingfeng’s eyebrows also furrowed slightly, and his steps came to a halt. A strange expression appeared on his face.

“He didn’t resist?”

“Yes, Wangcai likes it when I hold him. Isn’t that right, Wangcai?” As she spoke, she scratched General’s head with her claw-like hand.

How could she touch the head of a tiger!

Chen Tuo’s heart skipped a beat, afraid that a bloody tragedy would happen the next moment. However, one minute passed, and the gruesome scene he had imagined didn’t happen at all.

Not only that, but General also cooperatively lifted its head, nudging her palm, and licked her face with his tongue.

It tickled a bit.

Zhouzhou couldn’t help but giggle, tilting her head backward. “Wangcai, don’t lick me. It tickles.”

But General thought she was playing with him and leaned closer, quickly smearing her face with saliva. His fluffy tail also brushed against her chubby arm. He was so well-behaved.

Chen Tuo’s eyes were about to fall out. This… Was this really their hot-tempered General?

Could it be that he was disguised by a big cat?
