After Descending the Mountain, Seven Big Brothers Spoil Me - Chapter 460

Chapter 460: Guidance
In the alley at this moment, the Taoist’s expression was one of collapse, his hair disheveled, appearing utterly humiliated.

Unable to bear it any longer, he kicked out angrily, lamenting, “You shouldn’t treat people like this!”

Earlier that morning, they had dragged him here, and he had thought it would be a repeat of the previous night’s ordeal of being chased and tormented.

Little did he know, it would be even worse.

They proceeded to tell him ghost stories!

One was about a woman and her boyfriend who had agreed to a suicide pact because her family disapproved of their relationship.

The woman hanged herself, but the man, having a change of heart at the last moment, survived.

However, the woman believed it was his way of showing love, as the one who lived on would suffer the most.

So, she went to his house every day to help with chores, but her long tongue always trailed on the ground, making the floor wet.

One day, her boyfriend accidentally slipped on the wet floor and broke his leg.

Another story was about a man who was laid off by his company and couldn’t bear it, so he jumped from the company building, his brain bursting upon impact.

This incident haunted his boss for days.

And the most terrifying one was about a disemboweled spirit with its intestines exposed, and at the other end, there was an underdeveloped baby hanging from it!

Just thinking about it was enough to send shivers down one’s spine!

With these thoughts, the Taoist couldn’t help but glance in that direction again, and he couldn’t hold back the urge to vomit.

Enough was enough.

Bracing himself against the ground, he stood up forcefully, his eyes wild. “I’ll fight you all! Today, either I die or you do!”

Upon hearing this, the spirits exchanged glances as if they were looking at a fool.

Haven’t they already died long ago?

It’s like this man’s brain lacks enlightenment.

Didn’t the little girl tell them to talk nicely? Shouldn’t they introduce themselves first? Otherwise, they’re just strangers, what’s there to talk about?

Who knows what this exaggerated reaction of his means.

However, the Taoist remained oblivious, closing his eyes and shouting as he lunged at them.

Zhouzhou witnessed this scene as soon as she arrived, her mouth gaping in astonishment.

Wait, it’s not the uncles and aunties hitting him, but him hitting others?

Wow, he’s become quite bold.

Not in a hurry, she leisurely took out some melon seeds from her bag, squatting on the ground and eagerly watching as the Taoist charged towards the spirits.

Due to inertia, he failed to stop and crashed into the wall.

Hearing the loud thud, Zhouzhou couldn’t help but wince, her little face scrunching up in sympathy. That must’ve hurt a lot.

The Taoist, too, saw stars from the impact, sitting on the ground with a lump forming on his forehead.

Turning his head, he accidentally caught sight of Zhouzhou, as if she were his savior.

His lips quivered, and with a “wah,” he burst into tears, wailing, “Little Celestial Master, you’re being too cruel!”

Why did she have to show him these things and then just leave, leaving him alone to endure ghost stories?

He was on the brink of madness!

Hearing his words, Zhouzhou blinked and looked at the unyielding karmic thread between them.

Puzzled, she popped a melon seed into her mouth, clapping her hands and trotting over, looking at them with her head tilted, “Didn’t I tell you to chat nicely?”

“Talking about which!” With a resentful expression, the Taoist quickly crawled behind Zhouzhou, huddling behind her, clutching her leg tightly.

Complaining, he said, “They frightened me!”

“Why do you always talk nonsense?” The tall and skinny spirit was displeased.

“When did we scare you? We were just chatting, reminiscing about our past. We told you, but you wouldn’t listen, kept yelling. We haven’t said you’re rude yet, but you dare to retaliate?”

Nodding in agreement, the long-tongued spirit gave the Taoist a hostile look.

“He loves talking nonsense. That tongue of his is of no use. I think it’s better to cut it off and stew it in soup.”

At these words, the Taoist’s expression turned to one of horror, hastily covering his mouth and hiding behind Zhouzhou.

How cruel!

Zhouzhou, upon hearing this, asked curiously, “Can tongues be eaten?”

At this, the long-tongued spirit’s eyes lit up, as if finding a kindred spirit. Immediately, she began extolling the virtues of tongue dishes.

“Of course! Braised pig’s tongue, red-cooked tongue slices, stir-fried duck tongue, beef tongue rice… slurp, they’re so delicious.”

She drooled as she spoke, her eyes fixed on the Taoist, as if eager to pounce on him and devour his tongue right then and there.

He trembled even more, looking to Zhouzhou for help.

Zhouzhou touched her chin, shook her head, and said seriously, “It doesn’t seem very tasty. The tongue is for talking, not for eating.”

After she finished speaking, she turned her head to the Taoist hiding behind her and asked, “Do you want to get rid of them?”

“Of course!” the Taoist replied without hesitation. As soon as he spoke, he seemed to remember something and quickly covered his mouth, his eyes filled with urgency as he looked at Zhouzhou. He desperately wanted to send them away immediately!

Zhouzhou said, “Then you need to resolve the cause and effect.”

Seeing his bewildered expression, Zhouzhou shook her head and looked at him with disdain. How could she have explained it so clearly, yet he still didn’t understand?

If he had listened obediently, these uncles and aunties would’ve been reincarnated long ago.

Sighing deeply, Zhouzhou bore the burden alone. She looked at the spirits and asked, “Uncles and aunties, what did he do to offend you? Why are you bothering him?”

There must be a karmic reason for spirits to harass someone; they wouldn’t do it without cause.

Speaking of which, the spirits were full of complaints.

Long-tongue spoke first, “He actually tried to attract other romantic relationships for my boyfriend. He wanted my boyfriend to find another woman. It’s despicable!”

After that, she glared the Taoist fiercely.

The Taoist, at lost for a while before he came back to his sense. So she was the one who committed suicide. She died for that cowardly man, yet she still clung to him like that worthless man deserved her affection? Hmph, she deserves to be stuck in limbo for so long.

He inwardly sneered at her, but dared not say it aloud.

Next, the tall man spoke angrily, “I jumped off the building as a protest, but he helped the company dispel evil spirits, improving its feng shui. What’s even more infuriating is that this scammer earns more than me! He made a hundred thousand for performing some bogus ritual!”

With envy in his eyes, he looked at the Taoist.

Zhouzhou was also taken aback, “One hundred thousand!”

Counting the zeros on her fingers, she felt a sense of injustice. Gripping his clothes with her chubby little hands, she dragged him out.

Angry, she exclaimed, “Scammer!”

Facing her, the Taoist didn’t dare to speak, crouching on the ground and trying to make himself as inconspicuous as possible.

Zhouzhou was furious, her small mouth pouting high. She wanted a raise too!

From now on, it’ll be a hundred thousand plus one at every ceremony!

Hmm, she’s truly capable. How could she lose to a scammer?

The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. Looking at the disemboweled spirit, she asked, “And what about you, Auntie?”
