After Descending the Mountain, Seven Big Brothers Spoil Me - Chapter 385

Chapter 385: We Shall Meet Again
Noticing her gaze, the man looked over, raised an eyebrow, and unabashedly removed the handcuffs, dangling them before her. “Want them?” The handcuffs were also gleaming gold.

Upon seeing them, Zhouzhou couldn’t help but be dazzled, her chubby little hands reaching out uncontrollably.

Seeing this, Qin Xu’s eyelids twitched. He was about to speak when Qin Lie quickly pressed Zhouzhou’s hands back.

Zhouzhou looked up at him, blinked her eyes, and said in her soft voice, “Daddy, these have magnets.” It was the magnets pulling her hand, not her desire to reach out.

Hearing this, Qin Lie’s mouth twitched. The man laughed aloud, his eyes slightly curved, his ambiguous face blooming into an instant charm. He extended the golden skull handcuffs forward, “Here.”

However, Qin Xu immediately blocked Zhouzhou, speaking in a deep voice, “Mr. Luo, this is inappropriate.”

Upon hearing this, the man, Luo Jin, glanced at him indifferently and pouted, “Boring.”

He yawned nonchalantly, his eyes sweeping over the handcuffs at Zhouzhou’s waist, “Little girl, your handcuffs look nice.”

Before Zhouzhou could respond, Qin Xu firmly redirected the conversation, “Why are you here, Mr. Luo?”

“Looking for someone,” Luo Jin replied, his eyes sweeping over Qin Xu. “Isn’t it obvious?”

Looking for someone? But it depended on who he was looking for. An old man wasn’t worth his personal visit.

Thinking this, Qin Xu discreetly glanced at Zhouzhou, his brows lightly furrowed. He stepped forward, shielding Zhouzhou completely behind him, suspecting that Luo Jin’s purpose wasn’t simple.

However, this man had always acted on his whims, unpredictable. Qin Xu could only say, “Well, then we won’t disturb you. We’ll leave now.”

“Wait.” Luo Jin suddenly called out to them, his eyes falling on Zhouzhou. “Little girl, there are treasures inside. Don’t you want to see?”

Upon hearing the word “treasures,” Zhouzhou’s eyes lit up immediately. She looked up at Qin Lie, her face filled with longing.

Qin Lie frowned slightly, feeling that the man before him was somewhat dangerous. Moreover, his brother had been deliberately diverting Luo Jin’s attention from Zhouzhou, clearly not wanting too much interaction between them.

Though unsure why, he trusted his brother wouldn’t let Zhouzhou get hurt.

Just as he was about to speak, the Ancestral Master suddenly floated out, “Go ahead, there are things inside.”

Since he said so, Qin Lie had no reason to refuse. He nodded, “Be careful.”

“Okay!” Zhouzhou nodded vigorously, her eyes curved in delight, and she swiftly ran inside.

The Ancestral Master followed her, glancing at Luo Jin’s face as he passed by, slightly raising his eyebrows.

Goodness, this man’s fate was indeed tough.

As if sensing something, Luo Jin turned his head to look, but the Ancestral Master used an illusion, rendering himself invisible.

Luo Jin could only frown slightly, unable to see anything. After staring for a while, he clasped his hands behind his back and leisurely walked in.

Upon entering, he saw the little girl halfway under the bed, and he couldn’t help but twitch his mouth.

She really didn’t care about her dignity.

Saying nothing, he dragged a chair to the bedside, leisurely crossing his legs.

Zhouzhou didn’t care about dignity either. As soon as she entered, she felt the strongest sinister energy under the bed and immediately crawled under.

Little Wang, now a spirit, rolled into a ball and followed, quickly discovering the items under the bed. His scalp tingled as he darted out.

It was terrifying! Why didn’t this old thing die sooner!

Zhouzhou managed to pull out all the items from under the bed, revealing various cloth bundles. Upon opening, they were filled with money, jade, and gold.

However, these items, which should have been gleaming, were now dull and lifeless, devoid of any spiritual energy.

Counting carefully, there were seven bundles in total. One of them was identical to the money Little Wang had once found. It was all clear now.

Each one represented a human life!

Seeing these items, Luo Jin’s eyes narrowed and his expression turned cold. He stood up and began to pack the items.

Zhouzhou was studying the objects when she noticed his actions, her head tilting in confusion. Why was he taking the items?

Seeing her bewildered expression, Luo Jin smiled warmly. “These are evidence. You can ask him if I can take them,” he said, pointing at Qin Xu.

Qin Xu had just walked in and witnessed the scene, his mouth twitching in exasperation. How shameless, stealing credit from a child.

Cursing inwardly, he saw Zhouzhou looking at him with a pitiful expression. He nodded, “Give them to him. He has his own methods for punishing the wicked.”

Hearing this, Zhouzhou agreed reluctantly. “Alright.”

She considered it as avenging Little Wang.

Zhouzhou turned back to search for other items, while Luo Jin continued to pack, exploiting the situation without any qualms about bullying a child.

Qin Xu watched, his expression gradually becoming numb.

Zhouzhou took down a peculiar statue from the shrine, which initially resisted but became docile with a firm slap.

Luo Jin raised an eyebrow at her actions.

Soon, Zhouzhou found an old, yellowed book in a box. Curious, she opened it and frowned deeply upon seeing the contents.

The book was titled “Compendium of Spells”, but it was filled with sinister techniques meant to harm others.

One page, in particular, was heavily marked, detailing a life-stealing method—evidently the technique Old Li had used.

But how did he possess such a book?

The Ancestral Master glanced at it and said, “Zhouzhou, keep it.”

Zhouzhou immediately stuffed the book into her bag.

Luo Jin saw this but said nothing.

Qin Xu, having already investigated the Li family’s background, explained, “The Li family’s ancestors were feng shui masters, but they used their skills for evil. As a result, they all met early deaths, likely due to karma.”

Old Li, not wanting to die, resorted to stealing others’ lives to extend his own.

“Despicable!” Zhouzhou spat angrily, brandishing her peachwood sword. “Such a person deserves to be annihilated, never to reincarnate! He should go to hell!”

Outside, Old Li trembled at her words but couldn’t move, staring hopelessly at the sky. However, compared to Zhouzhou, he feared the man inside, sensing a dreadful fate if he fell into his hands.

“Hell, you say?” Luo Jin stroked his chin, nodding thoughtfully. “That’s a good suggestion. Let’s make him experience all the torments of hell first.”

Zhouzhou’s eyes sparkled with delight. “Brother Fox is right!”

Hearing her nickname for him, Luo Jin’s eyes narrowed into slits. He glanced at Zhouzhou with an inscrutable expression. “Brother… Fox?”

He gazed at her, his thoughts unclear.

Qin Xu’s heart skipped a beat. He hurriedly pulled Zhouzhou behind him. “Zhouzhou, don’t say that.”

Zhouzhou blinked. She wasn’t wrong; this brother did look like a fox. Fox-like in appearance and demeanor, sly and cunning. She knew he had shown her the golden skull handcuffs on purpose.

Luo Jin, far from being offended, laughed heartily.

He packed up the evidence, looked deeply at Zhouzhou with a faint smile, and said, “Little girl, we shall meet again.”
