After Descending the Mountain, Seven Big Brothers Spoil Me - Chapter 426

Chapter 426: You’ve Lost
With a resounding thud, their feet met, and Zhouzhou felt a slight tingling sensation in her feet.

She glanced up at Ye Lingfeng, her expression turning solemn as she cautiously took a half step back.

Her father was even more formidable than she had imagined. Her great strength held no advantage against him, as his own strength was not much lesser than hers.

Taking a deep breath, Zhouzhou composed herself, refraining from a direct confrontation and focusing on defense instead.

Little Wei clenched his hands together tightly, unable to contain his nervousness.

“Is Zhouzhou doing okay? It’s been several minutes, why hasn’t she attacked yet?”

The old man, however, remained composed. He stroked his beard and said, “In a situation where the enemy is strong and we are weak, blind aggression is not a good idea.”

Little Wei understood, but still couldn’t help but worry. “Could Zhouzhou be planning to challenge Captain Ye’s stamina? Even if she’s just fought several rounds, and even at full strength, Captain Ye’s stamina has always been exceptional.”

Indeed, Ye Lingfeng held the record for their longest combat engagement.

For seven days and nights, without taking a single sip of water, he single-handedly wiped out hundreds of criminals.

Such stamina and perseverance were not common.

As Ye Lingfeng’s master, the old man naturally understood this. He remained silent, his gaze fixed on the two figures battling on the stage.

After a while, he suddenly chuckled. “Zhouzhou has never been one to back down.”

On the contrary, this child may appear soft on the outside, but she was actually quite resilient. Even when injured, she never uttered a word of complaint.

Right now, she was not only on the defensive but also observing.

A skilled hunter never rushed to strike.

Ye Lingfeng also sensed that something was amiss. After pondering for a moment, he couldn’t help but chuckle. This little trickster was waiting for him to reveal a flaw.

Unfortunately, he wouldn’t give her that chance.

With that in mind, he quickened his assault, advancing towards Zhouzhou with large strides.

Just as his foot was about to strike, Zhouzhou suddenly exclaimed in pain and fell to the ground, rolling to the edge. Seeing this, Ye Lingfeng pulled his foot back and asked, “Giving in?”

Zhouzhou looked up at him with a grin. “How could I? Eldest Senior Brother said, the people of Sanqing Temple never surrender!”

With that, she added, “Dad, just wait a moment for me.”

Ye Lingfeng wasn’t in a hurry either, waiting to see what she would do.

Then, he saw Zhouzhou roll up her sleeves, revealing two gold rings on her wrist.

She pressed a button on one of them, and immediately the rings clattered to the ground with a dull thud, rather than a crisp sound, indicating their weight.

Next, she removed the two gold rings from her ankles, hopped on the spot a few times, and flashed Ye Lingfeng a sweet smile. “Dad, I’m ready now.”

With that, she shot towards him like a rocket, her speed several times faster than before!

Seeing this, Ye Lingfeng’s expression turned serious, a hint of realization flashing across his face. So, this was her trump card.

Zhouzhou, with the rings on, was already fast, let alone without them now.

She felt incredibly light, her body even more agile than before, darting around like a small loach.

It would be much harder for Ye Lingfeng to land a blow on her now.

“Excellent!” Little Wei couldn’t help but excitedly applaud.

“Master Chen, you truly are remarkable. Your methods are truly effective.”

During this time, Zhouzhou had been sparring with them while wearing four gold rings, so she had long since become accustomed to it.

Now, without the restraint of the rings, her strength had increased significantly.

Even if she couldn’t directly defeat Ye Lingfeng, the increased speed could catch him off guard from time to time.

The old man, hearing this, smiled contentedly and nodded. This little girl was truly extraordinary.

They could all see it, especially Ye Lingfeng, who was currently sparring with Zhouzhou.

He keenly felt how troublesome Zhouzhou had become with her increased speed.

It was at this moment that he finally sensed Zhouzhou’s determination to join them. Ah, indeed, her little punches did hurt quite a bit.

He raised his hand and caught her punch firmly, his large palm enveloping her hand as he felt the tingling sensation.

He couldn’t help but say, “Zhouzhou, you said you wanted to protect me, but it looks like you’re ready for a funeral feast.”

Punch after punch, without holding back in the slightest.

Hearing this, Zhouzhou blinked. “But I have to defeat you first before I can join in.”

She was no fool, not easily tricked! She laughed cheekily, “Daddy, let’s continue!”

With a swift twist of her wrist, her fist slipped out of his grasp. She stepped on his leg, using the momentum to leap up, her chubby feet kicking at him like a flurry of cannonballs.

Ye Lingfeng dodged and suddenly grabbed her ankle, holding it tightly.

Zhouzhou stumbled, losing her balance and starting to fall.

Ye Lingfeng quickly caught her in his arms, restraining her limbs. “Do you surrender?” he asked.

Zhouzhou struggled, but couldn’t break free. She looked at him with wide, pleading eyes and suddenly bumped her head against his.

Ye Lingfeng thought she was going to use her ‘iron head’ move, but instead, Zhouzhou pouted and gave him a soft kiss on the cheek, causing his expression to relax.

Unexpectedly, a cunning glint flashed in Zhouzhou’s eyes. She quickly slipped out of his grasp, flipped around, and sat on his shoulders, her short legs locking around his neck, her hands pressing on his pressure points.

“Daddy, do you surrender?” she asked crisply.

Everyone was stunned by this reversal. No one had expected it.

Little Wei proudly declared, “I told you that cuteness is her ultimate weapon.”

She had won, hadn’t she?

Ye Lingfeng was momentarily taken aback, a wry smile tugging at his lips. This little girl was indeed full of tricks, willing to use any means to win.

But alas…

Zhouzhou thought she had secured her victory, but in the next moment, Ye Lingfeng, in a move no one could follow, suddenly freed himself from her hold.

In the blink of an eye, Zhouzhou felt a dizzying spin and found herself thrown out of the ring.

Chen Tuo, waiting below, caught her steadily in his arms.

Zhouzhou was stunned, still trying to grasp what had happened. She looked up at Ye Lingfeng in bewilderment.

Ye Lingfeng lazily stretched, walked slowly to the railing, and leaned against it to meet her gaze.

“Zhouzhou, remember what I taught you today. Cunning alone won’t get you far; only absolute strength is your true safeguard.”

He looked at her and said each word clearly, “You have lost.”
