After Descending the Mountain, Seven Big Brothers Spoil Me - Chapter 223

Chapter 222: Quickly Sever the Bloodline
He quickly dodged to the side and saw Zhouzhou hiding behind the door, held by Qin Ren. Her chubby little feet kicked like a string of firecrackers, accompanied by several other children from the Qin family.

None of them were good kids; they only influenced his daughter in a bad way!

Gritting his teeth, Ye Lingfeng casually put Qin Bei aside and hurriedly moved out of the way.

Zhouzhou’s legs were short, and she kicked at empty air.

Seeing her first strike miss, the little girl didn’t get discouraged and kicked again.

Although her small feet were not big, every move produced a sound of breaking through the air. Everyone presented knew that she had the ability to kick someone flying.

At this moment, Ye Lingfeng felt a chill in his heart. Not only did his little girl think he was worse than a hair clip, but now she was also hitting him.

How miserable!

It wasn’t that he couldn’t defeat Zhouzhou, but all the techniques he had learned were lethal moves that would draw blood with every strike. How could he bear to use these techniques on Zhouzhou? He could only awkwardly dodge them.

Dodging and shouting at the same time, he said, “Zhouzhou, Dad was wrong. Dad shouldn’t have blindly worshipped. But Dad didn’t know, Dad thought you were gone and just wanted to accumulate more merits for you. It’s all Qin Lie’s fault for not telling me about this.”

Upon hearing this, Zhouzhou furrowed her eyebrows, and her movements became faster. She angrily said, “You’re the one at fault!”

Daring to speak ill of her father, she was angry!

“Eldest Brother, put me down.”

After landing, Zhouzhou’s body suddenly became shorter, but her figure also became nimbler.

Feeling that her techniques had become fiercer, even just dodging them, Ye Lingfeng could barely keep up.

Wen Jing watched on the side and couldn’t help shaking her head. Zhouzhou calling him “Sharp Tongue Uncle” was really not wrong.

His tongue, indeed, was quite sharp.

Was this the time to badmouth Qin Lie? Wasn’t this just asking for a beating?

She suddenly had a premonition that even if Qin Lie recognized Zhouzhou as his daughter, it would already be quite good if he didn’t distance himself further.

Ah.

“That’s enough.” Just as Zhouzhou’s leg was about to kick Ye Lingfeng, a cold voice rang out, and Zhouzhou’s small body was lifted up in an instant.

Sensing the familiar scent, Zhouzhou instantly stopped struggling, her little arms and legs slackening. She obediently nestled in Qin Lie’s arms, transforming from a fierce little tiger into a gentle little kitten.

Watching this scene, Ye Lingfeng felt a pang of jealousy and couldn’t help but glare at Qin Lie. “I’m playing with my daughter. What does it have to do with you?”

Qin Lie glanced at him and said, “Then continue?”

“Come, come.” Zhouzhou, still unsatisfied and not having had enough, waved her chubby fist at Ye Lingfeng.

Ye Lingfeng’s heart grew even colder. Reluctantly, he gritted his teeth and had to compromise. He said resentfully, “Let’s not fight anymore.”

In a corner where Zhouzhou couldn’t see, he glared at Qin Lie with a malicious look.

Childish.

Qin Lie sat down on the sofa with Zhouzhou in his arms, looking at the little girl who was still sulking. He spoke, “Zhouzhou, you can’t hit him anymore in the future.”

“But he said bad things about Dad.” Zhouzhou also felt wronged, pouting her tender little face and defending him.

Qin Lie’s heart warmed slightly as he said, “But you can’t use violence either. Have you forgotten? He is your biological father. If you hit him, you’ll be struck by lightning.”

Lightning!

Zhouzhou was startled and immediately hugged her head, panic on her face. She didn’t want that. She still wanted to bring back her fortune-bringing hairpin!

Recalling what he said, Zhouzhou pouted and suddenly remembered something. Her eyes lit up, and she shook her chubby hand, saying, “As long as the Bloodline is completely severed, I won’t be struck by lightning if I hit him again!”

Saying that, she turned her head to look at Ye Lingfeng and said with hopeful eyes, “Sharp Tongue Uncle, quickly do something supernatural and sever the Bloodline!”

Ye Lingfeng: “…” His heart had never felt so cold.

He wanted to acknowledge his daughter, but she wholeheartedly wanted to sever ties with him. Was there anyone in the world more miserable than him?

He couldn’t help but defend himself, “When did I do anything supernatural?”

“You did.” Zhouzhou looked at him seriously. “When you called me a little toad before, my Bloodline became weaker. Although I didn’t like hearing it, if it can be severed, I wouldn’t mind.”

He minded!

Ye Lingfeng’s mouth twitched. He never expected that it would have an impact like this.

Why couldn’t he control his mouth?

Regretting his actions, he looked at the little girl who was full of anticipation, and his heart grew even colder.

Grandpa Qin was originally saddened by the prospect of his granddaughter being taken away by someone, and now he was in a state of both laughter and tears.

After a moment of contemplation, he spoke, “Ye Lingfeng, I understand that you had your reasons in the past. But now, Zhouzhou is registered under our Qin family, and we treat her as our own granddaughter. It’s not possible for you to say she can leave just like that. Besides, Zhouzhou is already grown up. We should listen to her own opinion, don’t you think?”

If it weren’t for knowing that he had his reasons and didn’t actually abandon Zhouzhou, he would have been kicked out long ago. The situation had already reached this point, so they had to discuss it and strive to prevent Zhouzhou from getting hurt.

Ye Lingfeng also understood that his previous confidence had been greatly shaken by Zhouzhou. He looked at Zhouzhou, his lips slightly pursed. Even if he was unwilling, he was well aware that forcefully taking Zhouzhou away now might lead to the complete severance of their bloodline.

Taking a deep breath, he spoke, “I appreciate how the Qin family has treated Zhouzhou, and now that she is with the Qin family, I just hope that when I want to come and see her, you all will allow me to.”

“Yaya is no longer here, and Zhouzhou is the only flesh and blood she left me. I want to spend more time with her. Is that possible?”

When he reached the final part, his tone became somewhat low, and there was a hint of pleading in his eyes.

Zhouzhou stared at him with her big round eyes, tilting her head and refusing to avert her gaze even in the slightest. Being stared at by her clear eyes, Ye Lingfeng almost couldn’t hold back and reveal his vulnerability. What he said was true, but his show of weakness was just an act, a strategic retreat.

Zhouzhou wrinkled her little face, about to speak, but Qin Lie suddenly pinched her chubby paw and made a decision ahead of her, saying, “Okay.”

He looked directly at Ye Lingfeng and added, “And Ye Lingfeng, don’t forget the promise you made to me.”

He would never let Ye Lingfeng’s current identity affect Zhouzhou.

Knowing what he was referring to, Ye Lingfeng’s expression turned serious. “I remember.”

“Good.” Qin Lie stood up and ignored him, carrying Zhouzhou as he walked upstairs. “Aren’t we still going to set up a stall? I’ll accompany you there.”

“Okay!” Zhouzhou vigorously nodded her little head. Her eyes lit up at the thought of making money.

Remembering something, she glanced at Ye Lingfeng, then whispered in Qin Lie’s ear, “Dad, what Sharp Tongue Uncle said earlier was just acting.”

As a little drama queen who was born from the Sanqing Temple and had five years of acting experience, she could see through his little tricks.

Hmph!

“I know.” Surprisingly, Qin Lie responded.

“Huh?” Zhouzhou tilted her head and looked at him, her face filled with confusion.

Qin Lie ruffled her head but didn’t explain anything. He wanted to see if Zhouzhou would fall for such tactics.

Thinking that a simple “I’m her biological father” would be enough to take his daughter away? Well, let’s see if he’s capable of that!
