After Descending the Mountain, Seven Big Brothers Spoil Me - Chapter 407

Chapter 407: I Also Want to Protect You
Zhao Xinghua was dumbfounded.

Qi Hua was also dumbfounded.

They never imagined that Zhouzhou’s calculations would turn out to be genuine divination.

The meticulously designed questions by Zhao Xinghua appeared to her like feng shui!

To her, certain areas of the floor had unfavorable feng shui, so one should avoid them, while others were favorable, allowing passage.

It was simply absurd.

Yet Zhouzhou had indeed passed, without a single mistake.

In that moment, both of them felt like their worldviews had been completely overturned.

In comparison, Ye Lingfeng and the others remained composed.

Finally, Chen Tuo got to witness firsthand what the tenth challenge entailed. Looking at the questions on the ground and then at Zhouzhou, he couldn’t help but give her a thumbs up. “Master Zhou, you truly are amazing.”

Only she could come up with a way to defeat science using metaphysics.

Zhouzhou skipped over gleefully, with an innocent smile on her face, and approached Zhao Xinghua. “Uncle, I told you this challenge wasn’t interesting. It’s not as fun as drawing talismans.”

Zhao Xinghua remained silent.

He felt a sense of closure.

He had contemplated numerous solutions, but he never thought this would be one of them.

For a moment, his lips twitched, unsure how to face Zhouzhou.

Wen Jing chuckled lightly and stepped forward to explain, “Director Zhao, I forgot to mention, Zhouzhou grew up in a Taoist temple and has extraordinary talent in metaphysics.

She won first place in the recent metaphysical competition and brought honor back to the temple.”

That’s right!

With pride, Zhouzhou puffed out her chest, her chubby double chin raised. She was indeed impressive!

After hearing the introduction, Zhao Xinghua finally gained a deeper understanding of Zhouzhou.

With Wen Jing, a member of the metaphysical community, present, Zhao Xinghua was more accepting of the situation.

The tenth challenge was something she hadn’t learned before, so it was understandable that she couldn’t solve it using conventional methods.

Setting that aside, she had performed exceptionally well in the previous challenges, demonstrating undeniable ability.

As for metaphysics, it was even better. She could tackle tasks related to yin and yang, what a versatile talent.

Satisfied, he nodded and, after some thought, took out a card from his bag. “Zhouzhou, congratulations on passing. Since you currently hold the record for the most passes, this is your reward.”

He hadn’t expected that she could actually earn money.

Zhouzhou couldn’t help but feel pleasantly surprised. She touched the Jinbao on her head and quietly asked the Ancestral Master, “Ancestral Master, can I accept this?”

As she spoke, her eyes were fixed firmly on the bank card, not blinking once.

The Ancestral Master floated over and nodded. “Of course, this is something you earned through your own strength. It won’t bring any misfortune upon you.”

Upon hearing this, Zhouzhou’s eyes lit up, and without hesitation, she quickly accepted the card.

Zhao Xinghua also noticed her earlier actions and became somewhat puzzled as to whom she was speaking with. Could it be one of those things?

For a moment, his expression was indescribable.

This little girl was indeed impressive, but she also played quite recklessly.

Good, good.

He comforted himself inwardly.

The Ancestral Master also noticed his gaze and glanced over, observing the radiant virtue emanating from him. Unable to resist, he clicked his tongue in admiration.

Where had Zhouzhou come to? Everyone here seemed to be overflowing with virtue.

He leaned in close to Zhouzhou and whispered in her ear, “If they need any help, you can lend them a hand. Their acquired virtue will be doubled.”

Such a fortunate turn of events!

Zhouzhou’s eyes sparkled, unable to contain her laughter.

If only she had known this place was so much fun, she would have come sooner!

Zhao Xinghua and the others couldn’t see the Ancestral Master; all they could see was the little girl holding the bank card, suddenly bursting into laughter, with a somewhat foolish look.

Did she love money that much? Now they knew how to tempt her.

Ye Lingfeng saw through their intentions clearly and gave them a disdainful glance. “Is there anything else? I’m taking Zhouzhou with me; she hasn’t slept all night.”

Watching his vigilant gaze, Zhao Xinghua felt both amused and exasperated. He waved his hand impatiently. “Go on, get going.”

Tsk.

Ye Lingfeng didn’t mind and strode away, carrying Zhouzhou.

There were six buildings on the island for residence.

Members of the Dragon, Tiger, Lion, Wolf, and Spirit teams each occupied one building, leaving one unassigned.

As the most powerful team, the Dragon team resided in the most luxurious building.

As they entered, Jinbao dashed over, attempting to leap into Ye Lingfeng’s arms.

However, Ye Lingfeng furrowed his brow, swiftly avoiding it and letting it miss.

Jinbao looked at him bewilderedly, feeling wronged.

Under the scorching sun, it wanted cuddles!

“Why is it here?” Ye Lingfeng recognized the little black cat from Luo Jin’s side and frowned.

Glancing at it, Zhouzhou said, “Daddy, this is Jinbao, my new friend.”

Huh?

Hers?

Ye Lingfeng raised an eyebrow, recalling the incident with General being renamed Wangcai, and he roughly guessed what had happened.

This little black ball could catch spirits, which was somewhat useful, so he considered it as a companion for Zhouzhou.

Without saying anything, he carried Zhouzhou to the room next to his and gave her a bath first.

The little girl had played all night and was covered in sweat, smelling like a little stink bomb now.

After the bath, Ye Lingfeng sat with her on the bed. Zhouzhou, wrapped in a towel that could double as a blanket, sat with her chubby legs crossed, playing with her feet.

Ye Lingfeng used a hairdryer on her hair with extreme caution, afraid of accidentally burning or hurting her.

Looking up at him, Zhouzhou said, “Daddy.”

“Yes?”

“What does the uncle mean by asking me to join? Does he want me to do the same thing as you?”

“Yes.” Ye Lingfeng hadn’t expected her to bring this up, so he frowned slightly but still confirmed.

Sensing his resistance, Zhouzhou blinked her eyes in confusion. “Is it bad if I do the same thing as Daddy? We can work together in the future, and I can protect you too. I’m really good at it.”

Hearing this, Ye Lingfeng’s gaze softened as he touched her hair. Her hair was of good quality, soft to the touch, just like her heart.

He appreciated her concern but still said, “But Daddy also wants to protect you.”

He sighed lightly, rubbing Zhouzhou’s head. “Zhouzhou, Daddy just wants you to have a peaceful life. I’ll earn the money, and you just be happy.”

Hearing this, Zhouzhou tilted her head in thought. But this was also her wish.

Adults were strange; clearly, they were doing the same thing, but they wouldn’t let children do it.

Huh, was it because her legs were short? It didn’t affect playing games.

Humph.

However, Zhouzhou didn’t say this out loud. She yawned, feeling sleepy, her eyelids starting to droop.

Seeing this, Ye Lingfeng quickly dried her hair and tucked her into bed. “Sleep now.”

“Mm.” Zhouzhou rubbed her eyes sleepily and murmured, “Daddy, you should rest more too. Your body needs to recover.”

“Okay.” Ye Lingfeng smiled and agreed.

Hearing his response, Zhouzhou felt completely at ease, closed her eyes, and fell asleep within seconds.

After sitting by the bed for a while, Ye Lingfeng finally got up and left.

Jinbao originally wanted to follow but was stopped by a glance from Ye Lingfeng, freezing in place.

“Keep an eye on Zhouzhou,” he said and left without looking back.

Jinbao watched his figure with longing eyes, dared not follow, and then patted its chubby paw on the ground, feeling a little angry.

It didn’t get any benefits from working. What a clueless master!

Humph.

It huffed in annoyance, then bounced onto Zhouzhou’s head and fell asleep while licking the golden ingot.

Zhouzhou slept until the afternoon and heard a tiger’s roar, so she got up.

Listening closely, she furrowed her little brows slowly. Why did Wangcai’s voice sound so frightened?

Oh no, Wangcai was being bullied!
