After Descending the Mountain, Seven Big Brothers Spoil Me - Chapter 172

Chapter 172: Zhouzhou Goes Fishing
The next day, as soon as dawn broke, Zhouzhou climbed out of bed. On the bedside table next to her, there were items that the Ancestral Master had prepared for her last night.

Seeing her awake, the Ancestral Master emerged from the statue and cautioned, “Be careful this time. That ancient demon is not easy to deal with.”

Zhouzhou nodded and replied in a childish voice, “I know.”

Looking at the little one who hadn’t even reached waist height, the Ancestral Master felt a momentary pang of guilt, thinking that he had been too harsh on a child. However, after a second, he reassured himself.

The capable should do more work. In their line of duty, age had nothing to do with skill. With this in mind, he calmed down and entrusted the protection of Zhouzhou to the evil spirits. Seeing her nod, he returned to the statue.

He had just performed a divination, and it indicated great fortune, including financial luck.

Where did this financial luck come from? It was obvious.

He lounged on the bed with his legs crossed and hummed a joyful tune.

Now that he had acquired Baiyun Temple, that arrogant elder from Baiyun Temple would no longer be able to stand against him!

Zhouzhou also pondered this matter. She was certain that her master would be delighted once they took over Baiyun Temple.

Zhouzhou was also thinking about this matter. When they took over Baiyun Temple and presented it to their master, he would surely be very happy.

She changed into a small Taoist robe, not the one she wore when she descended the mountain, but the one made by her aunt. It shimmered with golden light, and she loved it the most.

Just as she stepped out, she ran into Mu Xuan. Zhouzhou’s eyes lit up, and she rushed over, hugging his leg and looking up, she said, “Eldest Senior Brother, Eldest Senior Brother, let’s go back and see our master after we finish our tasks!”

Mu Xuan looked down at her, lightly pinching her chubby cheeks with his fingertips. “Do you miss him?” he asked.

“Yes, yes!” Zhouzhou vigorously nodded her little head and swallowed her saliva, “And I miss the meals made by Master’s disciple too!”

Mu Xuan raised an eyebrow, feeling like the priorities were reversed.

Seeing the eager gaze of her junior sister, he nodded and said, “Okay, we’ll return to the mountain after we’re done.”

“Yay!” Zhouzhou cheered and immediately let go of him, running towards Qin Lie on the sofa, calling out, “Dad!”

This little girl, using him and then discarding him.

Mu Xuan sighed softly, smiling, and walked downstairs.

After finishing breakfast, Zhouzhou couldn’t wait to run outside. The thought of Baiyun Temple soon becoming part of their Sanqing Temple made her happy!

However, as soon as she stepped out, she saw Wen Jing walking out of the room with a serious expression. Zhouzhou exclaimed in surprise, tilted her head, looked at her for a moment, and ran over, asking, “Sister Marvelous, what’s wrong with you?”

Seeing her, Wen Jing’s furrowed brow slightly relaxed, but there was still a hint of worry in her eyes. She shook her head slightly and said, “It’s nothing.”

There must be something.

Zhouzhou didn’t believe her words. Adults liked to deceive children.

Seeing her earnestly looking at her with her tender face, Wen Jing sighed lightly and said, “Let’s go first. We’ll talk about it when we come back.”

She had spent the whole night trying to figure out where An Ya’s remains were, but she couldn’t find the answer.

She didn’t know if it was her lack of skill or something else.

Thinking this, she glanced thoughtfully at Zhouzhou.

Zhouzhou had the highest talent she had ever seen in her life. Perhaps she could find a solution.

They could discuss this matter properly when they returned.

“Alright.” Seeing that she was unwilling to speak, Zhouzhou didn’t ask further. She held Wen Jing’s hand softly and said, “Sister Marvelous, don’t keep things to yourself. You can come to me anytime. We’re the best sisters, after all.”

Saying that, she placed her hand on Wen Jing’s head, and their heads rubbed against each other.

Seeing the little girl clumsily coaxing her, a slight smile appeared on Wen Jing’s lips. She pinched her puffed-up cheeks and nodded with a smile, “Okay.”

Zhouzhou smiled at her, revealing her tiny milky teeth, and raised her arm, saying, “Let’s go!”

Off they went to make some money.

She took out a key from her bag and opened her little electric car, swiftly putting on her sunglasses.

Seeing this, Wen Jing was somewhat dumbfounded. Looking at the excited little girl who intended to drive herself, Wen Jing hesitated and said gently, “Zhouzhou, we shouldn’t attract too much attention. Your car is too flashy and could easily catch the attention of the Thousand-Year Ancient Demon. It would be troublesome if the Thousand-Year Ancient Demon notices us. Let’s take a different car.”

At her turtle-like speed, they wouldn’t reach their destination even by nightfall. Mu Xuan also came out and understood her intention upon seeing her. Rarely being on the same side as Wen Jing, he said, “Zhouzhou, let’s wait until we return to the sect before you drive your little car. You can show it to Master then.”

“Okay.” Zhouzhou reluctantly stepped out of the car and hugged her little vehicle. She rubbed her face against it and said, “Little Goldie, wait for me to come back, okay?”

Little Goldie? When did she give it that name? The name is just… typical of her style. Mu Xuan couldn’t help but smile lightly and pressed her hand, saying, “Let’s go.”

“Yes!”

This time, Qin Lie didn’t join them. Zhouzhou was worried that he wouldn’t be able to focus on him if he got injured, so she only took Mu Xuan, Tang Qing, and Wen Jing.

After driving for nearly three hours, Zhouzhou ate three apples, two bananas, and an orange in the car before finally stopping.

“We’re almost there.” Tang Qing pointed to the nearby woods and said.

Mu Xuan stopped the car without getting closer.

Zhouzhou summoned the evil spirit and said, “Do your best. It’s up to you now. You can definitely do it. It will surely be jealous of you. Go and lure it out!”

Saying that, she casually stuck a Breathing Suppression Talisman on their car to avoid the Ancient Demon’s detection.

“No problem, leave it to me.” The evil spirit patted its chest and immediately floated out of the car. It took a face from its storeroom, which belonged to a village woman, and flew above the woods, standing with hands on its hips. It loudly proclaimed, “I, the lady, have lived for thousands of years. Back then, I was also a renowned figure in the martial world, commanding tens of thousands of underlings and terrifying countless Taoist priests. None of them dared to approach me. Unlike some evil spirits, who are insignificant and can only show off when I’m not around. In those days, I was…”

It boasted with saliva flying, and its face was full of pride, making people want to punch it.

“Is this really going to work?” Tang Qing asked uncertainly in a lowered voice.

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhouzhou’s ears twitched, and she immediately pressed her plump index finger against her lips, gesturing for him to be silent. She didn’t speak but mouthed the words, “It’s coming.”

Everyone looked in that direction, and sure enough, a dense black evil spirit floated out from there.

Its concentration of malevolence was comparable to when they first encountered the evil spirit, if not stronger.

No wonder Senior Martial Uncle Tang suffered at its hands. It really has some skills.

Zhouzhou stared intently at that figure, tightly gripping her peach wood sword.

Upon seeing the Thousand-Year Ancient Demon, the evil spirit instinctively took a step back, covering its nose and saying, “You smell terrible. When was the last time you took a bath?”

It had already shed its own malevolent aura long ago and considered itself a clean and hygienic spirit of the new era. It now started to despise its primitive counterpart.

Hearing this, the Thousand-Year Ancient Demon also became angry and roared, “You still have the nerve to call yourself a spirit? Look at your delicate appearance, you bring shame to our spirits!”

“After all that boasting, you’re just full of hot air!”

“You’re the one full of hot air!” The summoned evil spirit also got angry, reaching for the malevolent aura on top of its head. “I’ll make you stop babbling! Watch me tear your mouth apart!”

The Thousand-Year Ancient Demon, refusing to back down, charged forward. Before long, the two masses of malevolent aura were wrestling with each other.

The summoned evil spirit derived its power from malevolence, but it didn’t have much left. It quickly fell into a disadvantage and ended up lying on the ground in a sorry state.

Looking down at it disdainfully, the Thousand-Year Ancient Demon said, “With just that, you still have the nerve to show off in front of me?”

Full of pride, it unintentionally turned its back to the outside.

When the summoned evil spirit was lying on the ground, it showed no signs of fear. On the contrary, its eyes gleamed brightly. Its moment had arrived!

Just as the Thousand-Year Ancient Demon slowly approached, it suddenly turned its head and shouted, “Grandpa Zhouzhou, come out quickly!”
