After Descending the Mountain, Seven Big Brothers Spoil Me - Chapter 404

Chapter 404: Ye Lingfeng Takes Action
“Sharp Tongue Daddy!” Zhouzhou turned her small head sharply, looking at the approaching figure.

Her face lit up with joy, and like a little cannonball, she dashed toward him. “You’re awake!”

Ye Lingfeng lowered his gaze to his little daughter and smiled. Just as he was about to embrace her, she took a step back.

Zhouzhou shook her head, her chubby little face serious. “I’m heavy. Daddy just woke up. You shouldn’t carry me. It’ll tire you out.”

A few muffled laughs escaped his chest. Undeterred, Ye Lingfeng bent down and picked her up, setting her on his arm.

He flicked her ponytail, watching it sway like a little green onion, and his smile deepened.

“Don’t worry, even if you were a hundred times heavier, I could still carry you.”

To prove his point, he lifted her slightly, showing it was effortless. Zhouzhou finally relaxed, but as she remembered his unconscious state, her eyes reddened.

Her chubby arms wrapped around his neck, and she nestled her face against his. “Daddy, you have to take care of yourself and not sleep for so long again, okay?”

Hearing this, Ye Lingfeng’s heart softened, and his voice became gentle. “Did I scare you?”

“Yes.” Zhouzhou nodded vigorously, not hiding her worry. She held his face with a slightly domineering air.

“You promised Mommy you’d take good care of me. You have to be well so I can grow up, buy you lots of yummy food, and take care of you when you’re old and…”

Before she could finish, Ye Lingfeng covered her mouth, swallowing the last word. She blinked at him in confusion.

He maintained his composure, pretending not to have heard her final words, and said with a smile, “Alright, I will take good care of myself from now on.”

This time, it had been to save someone that he had taken the risk and been poisoned.

“Okay!” Zhouzhou kissed his cheek and then, a bit embarrassed, buried her head in his chest.

Ye Lingfeng hadn’t expected that being poisoned would make his daughter even closer to him. His eyes brightened for a moment but soon dimmed.

No, he couldn’t scare his little girl like this again. Such things must never happen again.

At least now, he knew his daughter cared for him. That was enough. He smiled even more, but his expression darkened when he noticed the bruises on her arm.

“What happened?” he asked, touching her arm.

Zhouzhou’s head emerged from his embrace, dismissing it casually. “It’s nothing. It doesn’t hurt. Daddy, the game inside is super fun. When you’re fully recovered, let’s play together.”

“Game?” Ye Lingfeng repeated, his eyes sweeping over Zhao Xinghua.

He knew it was Zhao Xinghua’s design. But there was something more important on his mind. “How did you know about this place?”

Chen Tuo and the others wouldn’t have brought Zhouzhou here. The place was well-hidden, and Zhouzhou couldn’t have found it on her own.

Unless someone had led her here. His eyes darkened, a flash of killing intent crossing them.

The others realized the same thing. How did this little girl find her way here?

Luo Jin stepped forward, his expression unchanged. “I brought her there.”

Ye Lingfeng’s gaze turned icy as he looked at Luo Jin. Their eyes met, neither flinching.

Zhouzhou nodded. “I knew I didn’t see wrong yesterday, Brother Fox. Where were you hiding? I couldn’t find you.”

“Thank you for bringing me to such a fun game.”

The little girl smiled innocently, her eyes full of excitement. Luo Jin felt a pang of mixed emotions.

Ye Lingfeng’s daughter was somewhat oblivious.

“This wasn’t a game,” Ye Lingfeng said, looking at her bruises. His little girl was well taken care of by her masters and the Qin family. Seeing her hurt now was shocking.

His gaze, full of killing intent, turned to Luo Jin. “He wanted to harm you.”

“Harm me?” Zhouzhou frowned, looking at Luo Jin in confusion.

Ye Lingfeng directly asked, “Why did you bring Zhouzhou here?”

Luo Jin met his gaze. “In truth, I wanted to bring you here. Since you wouldn’t wake up, I had to find a way to rouse you.”

Ye Lingfeng laughed coldly, his eyes full of frost. He handed Zhouzhou to Wen Jing, then slowly rolled up his sleeves. “If you wanted to see what I’m capable of, let’s go.”

He looked at Zhao Xinghua. “Set it to the highest difficulty.”

“It’s already at the highest,” Zhao Xinghua replied, coughing lightly and glancing at Zhouzhou with a lingering desire.

Ye Lingfeng shot him a warning look before striding towards the entrance of the challenge room. Luo Jin pressed his lips together and followed.

The others crowded in to watch. The number one and number two were about to face off. This was a must-see.

No, the number two had been replaced. Luo Jin was now number three.

Everyone glanced at the “new number two,” their gazes falling on her short legs.

How did she pass the challenges with such short legs?

Noticing their looks, Zhouzhou proudly raised her chubby chin and ran to Ye Lingfeng with her short legs, excitement in her eyes. “Daddy, are you going to compete?”

“Yes.” He patted her head. “Cheer for me.”

“Okay!” Zhouzhou nodded eagerly. “Daddy, you’re the best!”

Ye Lingfeng’s lips curved as he patted her ponytail, then strode inside, covering his eyes with a black cloth and starting the challenge.

His movements were swift. Even with his eyes covered, he moved effortlessly, as if nothing hindered him. In less than a minute, he cleared the first stage.

Zhouzhou was stunned. She jumped up, cheering. “Daddy is amazing!”

Her face flushed with excitement, and Jinbao, on her shoulder, waved its paw joyfully.

Big Sun was so impressive!

Zhouzhou turned to Luo Jin, her eyes clear and sincere. “Brother Fox, do you want to compete with my daddy because you’re as amazing as he is?”
