After Descending the Mountain, Seven Big Brothers Spoil Me - Chapter 173

Chapter 173: Confronting the Thousand-Year Ancient Demon
Here it comes!

Zhouzhou instantly rushed forward, her peach wood sword flying out of her hand, aimed directly at the heart of the Thousand-Year Ancient Demon. The sword was adorned with a talisman against evil, carrying a formidable momentum. Its speed was too fast, and the Thousand-Year Ancient Demon couldn’t defend in time, only able to widen its eyes in fear.

Just as the peach wood sword was about to pierce it, a “clang” sound rang out. A talisman suddenly deflected the sword, causing its tip to skew and stab into a nearby tree. Zhouzhou’s face darkened, and she turned her head to see two faces that deserved a beating.

Clenching her little fist, Zhouzhou angrily exclaimed, “Unfilial fools! I’ll deal with you later!”

Tang Qing and Wen Jing followed her gaze and also saw the people there. It was none other than Cen Zhiyuan and Xun Huai. The group exchanged glances, their expressions turning cold.

Just as they were thinking, they suddenly heard a wail. They saw the evil spirit clutching tightly onto the leg of the Thousand-Year Ancient Demon, crying out, “Quick, come here!”

What time is it now? Instead of looking at each other, they should be setting KPIs for them to prevent any slacking off!

The evil spirit thought indignantly.

“Here!” Zhouzhou arrived at the scene, and with a flick of the talisman against evil in her hand, she swiftly deployed a formation to trap it inside. She made double preparations, just in case.

“Let’s focus on the top priority,” Mu Xuan said. Tang Qing and Wen Jing nodded in agreement, not wasting any words and charging forward.

The group surrounded the Thousand-Year Ancient Demon together. Zhouzhou drew out her mini peach wood sword, and with her chubby hands, she deftly hacked at the Ancient Demon’s body. Her posture resembled slicing a cabbage, making the evil spirit grit its teeth in fear and cower to the side, hugging its arms, afraid of accidentally getting injured by her.

Luckily, it was quick to back down. Who could withstand her?

The air resounded with the mournful screams of the Thousand-Year Ancient Demon. It wished it could swallow this little dot in front of it whole, but with Tang Qing and the others around, it couldn’t move at all. It could only stand there and be sliced.

Strands of malevolent aura dissipated from its body.

After a tiring bout, Zhouzhou clenched her small hand into a fist and gave it a squeeze, kneading it into a lump. Then she continued hacking away, huffing and puffing, shouting, “Eighty, eighty…”

The Thousand-Year Ancient Demon was furious. Did she think she was making noodles?!

Enough was enough!

It was uncontrollably angry but couldn’t do anything to Zhouzhou. It could only turn its head and “puff,” spew out a mouthful of malevolent aura, flying towards the two people behind the tree.

It’s all their fault! If it weren’t for their interference, it would have already had a quick and clean kill. Why did it need to be tortured here?

Cen Zhiyuan and Xun Huai were spectating when suddenly they saw the malevolent aura coming towards them. They hurriedly took out their talismans, but the speed of the aura was too fast. It instantly entered their bodies, causing them to writhe in pain on the ground.

Seeing this, Zhouzhou became displeased. She raised her hand and gave the malevolent aura a slap, saying, “Don’t you dare touch these fools! Only I can deal with them.”

She had immense strength. With one slap, she nearly slapped the Thousand-Year Ancient Demon into dispersing its soul. Looking at its eyes, a tinge of fear couldn’t help but appear.

Who was this little weirdo?

Zhouzhou didn’t pay it any mind. Her movements became even faster.

Before long, she had almost eliminated the malevolent aura. Within the trapped formation, there was now an additional transparent figure.

Dressed in black, slender in figure, not at all the burly person they had imagined. Their face was pale, and dark circles were visible under their eyes.

Zhouzhou exclaimed in surprise, “Dough Ball, why are your eyes so dark? Did someone hit you?”

She was the dough ball!

The Thousand-Year Ancient Demon looked at the milky figure in front of it, furious but unable to speak. It shook its head in frustration and muttered, “No.”

Zhouzhou blinked her eyes, waiting for it to continue speaking. But after waiting for a while and not hearing anything, she immediately became dissatisfied. “Are you a mute? Won’t move until you’re hit? From now on, I’ll call you ‘Rolling Donkey’.”

With that, she discreetly swallowed her saliva and took out a snack Grandma Qin had packed for her from her bag, nibbling on it.

Seeing her like this, the Thousand-Year Ancient Demon nearly fainted in anger. It glanced at the peach wood sword in her hand. The feeling of being hacked just now was deeply etched in its soul. For a while, it didn’t dare to confront her directly and could only obediently explain.

“No, it’s from staying up late,” the Thousand-Year Ancient Demon quickly said, fearing that she would call it a rolling donkey again. “I used to be an assassin, and I would stay up late at night. Over time, it gave me dark circles under my eyes.”

“Oh, I see,” Zhouzhou said, her little head swaying, and her two small antennae following suit. “Then why don’t you sleep during the day?”

The Thousand-Year Ancient Demon kept a stern face and shook its head seriously. “That’s not possible. I have to take orders during the day too. Otherwise, how can I surpass my peers and become the number one assassin, leading our assassin guild to become the top in the world, and reaching the pinnacle of life?”

Zhouzhou was astonished, looking at it and suddenly understanding. “I see, you’re a workaholic!”

Her dad used to be like that too, but not anymore. He said that being with her was the most important thing.

Thinking about it, Zhouzhou happily shook her little head.

“Call me Overachiever,” the evil spirit added.

It enjoyed studying all kinds of people. When it was at the Qin family, it secretly watched TV and learned about it from there.

Zhouzhou was puzzled. “What is an Overachiever?”

“It’s someone who used to work for only one hour, but insists on working for two hours, voluntarily working overtime and forcing everyone around to work overtime together.”

Saying that, the evil spirit glanced disdainfully at the Thousand-Year Ancient Demon. What was the meaning of such a life? Unlike him, he worked hard but didn’t forget to enjoy life.

As long as it worked hard for another hundred years, it could spend the rest of its ghostly life lying flat.

“I see,” Zhouzhou nodded as if she understood, and solemnly raised her thumb to the Thousand-Year Ancient Demon. “Great Roll, you’re amazing.”

She couldn’t do it herself. When the Ancestral Master called her to work at night, she would sleep in the next day.

Her senior brothers couldn’t do it either. When their master pulled her to learn talisman drawing, they would give her their own assignments to draw, and she would fall asleep while drawing.

Unlike the Thousand-Year Ancient Demon, who worked so hard. It was truly amazing.

She looked at it with admiration, while the Thousand-Year Ancient Demon was so frustrated that it almost vomited blood.

What were all these messy names? They had only exchanged a few words, and she had already changed several titles for it.

Children were so fickle.

With a stern face, it bravely said, “Whether you want to kill or torture, it’s up to you. Just get on with it.”

“No, we really like hardworking people like you,” the Ancestral Master suddenly appeared next to Zhouzhou, having quietly emerged from the statue. He whispered in Zhouzhou’s ear.

The evil spirit also leaned in to listen.

The Ancestral Master glanced at it and said, “Keep it here to work as well. Let it mentor a certain lazy person and make that person take the initiative to work.”

So they wouldn’t have to rely on it to draw big pancakes every time.

Drawing big pancakes was also tiring!

Hearing his words, the evil spirit was wondering who the lazy person was and who the certain someone was. It didn’t know that there were other people around him.

Could it be… not a person, but a ghost?

Thinking of this, the evil spirit’s hair stood on end, looking around in horror.

Seeing its foolish appearance, the Ancestral Master couldn’t help but feel disgusted. But being foolish also had its advantages, as it was easy to fool them.

With clever kids like Zhouzhou, he couldn’t fool her anymore.

If he could take this Thousand-Year Ancient Demon under his wing, he would have another person to work for him. After finishing the work, he could send it off to be reincarnated, which would bring him merit and profit. It was a win-win situation!

Zhouzhou couldn’t help but scratch her ear, feeling a bit confused, tilting her little head. Did she just hear the sound of an abacus?

Must be an illusion.

Shaking her head, she looked at the Thousand-Year Ancient Demon and asked, “Great Roll, would you like to be with me? Although you can’t kill anymore, you can save people and become the number one philanthropist in the world, continuing to be the boss and the first.”
