After Descending the Mountain, Seven Big Brothers Spoil Me - Chapter 770

Chapter 770: Zhouzhou: Let’s Do It Again!
Unaware of the complaints brewing in Xi Mo’s mind, Zhouzhou confidently adjusted her helmet and walked into the training room, head held high. Meanwhile, Xi Mo directed Skinny Monkey and the others to head to the monitoring room next door.

Wei Fangyi also joined them, his eyes drawn to Zhouzhou’s odd headgear. Confused, he asked, “Why only protect her head? Isn’t the rest of her body just as important?”

Maybe she was worried about injuring her face? After all, little girls care about their appearance.

Hearing this, the group, who had witnessed Zhouzhou’s obsession with her “Fortune Hair,” fell silent. It wasn’t her face she cared about — she sometimes didn’t even bother washing it! Her concern revolved solely around her precious strands of Fortune Hair.

No one really knew how she came to believe that a few hairs controlled her financial luck.

Xi Mo pondered for a moment, concluding that perhaps it was just self-deception—a psychological effect. After all, she was destined to be poor, and that couldn’t be changed. It wasn’t like she could just be reborn, right? So he thought she might as well find something else to convince herself.

With this thought, his gaze at Zhouzhou softened with a hint of pity.

Zhouzhou, however, didn’t share that sentiment. Whether she was fated to be poor or not, she was definitely fond of money. Who wouldn’t like money? There was no need for a reason.

She walked into the training room, carefully observing everything around her.

Suddenly, Xi Mo’s voice echoed, “Zhouzhou, hurry up and get in there. You won’t always have time to stand around and think. This stage is about testing your reflexes.”

No matter the situation, absolute strength is always your best defense. Training must always be done with the worst-case scenario in mind, so you’re prepared for anything.

Zhouzhou touched her helmet, ensuring not a single strand of Fortune Hair was exposed, and boldly stepped forward, unsheathing her peachwood sword. Almost instantly, the traps were triggered, and they launched at her with greater speed and in greater numbers than before.

Her expression tensed as her plump little body moved swiftly, her sword cutting through the air, leaving afterimages. But even so, some traps managed to scrape past her, leaving blood trails on her skin.

In the monitoring room, Xi Mo quickly noted her mistakes, while Wei Fangyi — seeing this for the first time — was stunned. He knew Zhouzhou was impressive, but this was beyond his expectations. Her agility and skill surpassed many of his own men. Only a handful of elite soldiers, including himself, Xi Mo, and a few captains, could match her abilities.

No wonder the Fourth Bureau was determined to keep her. Even the Commander must be tempted by such talent. And he guessed it right; their Commander still hadn’t given up the idea of recruiting Zhouzhou.

Back in the training room, Zhouzhou accumulated more injuries, far more severe than before. This time, it took her nearly an hour to complete the course. When she emerged, her helmet was riddled with holes, and her body was covered in wounds.

Xi Mo rushed over, worried, but Zhouzhou’s eyes were sparkling with excitement. “Uncle, can I try again?”

Surprised, Xi Mo asked, “Again?”

Zhouzhou nodded vigorously. “Yes, yes! That was so much fun!”

Despite her clothes soaked with blood and her body covered in cuts, the little girl didn’t seem to feel any pain. Instead, she looked eager to dive right back into the fray.

The Commander, who had just arrived after finishing his work, burst into hearty laughter when he overheard her. His eyes glimmered with approval. “Impressive, just like your father.”

Ye Lingfeng had been the same way — pushing himself relentlessly, with no regard for his own well-being. However, where Ye Lingfeng trained out of necessity, Zhouzhou simply enjoyed it.

Zhouzhou puffed out her little chest, clearly proud. “Of course, I’m my daddy’s daughter!”

Xi Mo couldn’t help but feel a pang of jealousy at her display of affection for Ye Lingfeng. After a moment’s thought, he suggested, “Hold on. Let them try the course first while you rest and apply some medicine. You can go again afterward.”

Only then did Zhouzhou glance down at herself, her eyes widening in surprise. “Wow! How did I bleed so much?” She turned to the Commander, her expression pitiful. “Uncle, you know I’m worth billions now, right?”

She batted her eyes at him, hoping he’d get the hint. Her blood wasn’t something to be wasted!

The Commander chuckled, clearly prepared for this. He pulled out a piece of jade from his pocket — similar to Xi Mo’s but even larger. And there was more than one. They ranged in size, from palm-sized to a jade mountain.

The Commander handed her the smallest one. “This is your reward for today. If you manage to clear the course without a scratch, the jade mountain will be yours.”

Zhouzhou’s eyes lit up like stars, and she eagerly nodded, hugging the jade close to her chest. She even rubbed her chubby cheek against it.

At that moment, the Ancestral Master appeared, pushing Zhouzhou’s head aside to press his own face against the jade, absorbing the abundant spiritual energy. It was so refreshing!

Before Zhouzhou could react, half the jade’s energy had already been drained. Furious, she shouted, “Ancestral Master!”

Realizing his mistake, the Ancestral Master blushed and quickly apologized. “I’m sorry! I couldn’t help myself. I’ll trade you some merit points.”

He pulled out a tiny speck of golden light the size of a grain of rice and offered it to her.

Zhouzhou huffed, glaring at him with her round eyes. “You can’t keep doing that!”

Thank goodness he hadn’t drained it completely. Otherwise, it would have been just a worthless rock. Jade can only be valuable because of its spiritual energy.

Muttering her displeasure, Zhouzhou hurriedly stuffed the jade back into her pocket, afraid the Ancestral Master might finish it off.

Blushing, the Ancestral Master shrank away.

Although Zhouzhou’s sudden outburst and conversation with seemingly no one confused everyone, the Commander wasn’t particularly shocked — he had already encountered the Ancestral Master before. However, Dou Qiang was curious. “Hey, future boss, who were you talking to?”

Zhouzhou quickly shook her head. “No one, no one! Uncle, hurry up and finish your training. I’m waiting to play again!”

She bounced excitedly on her toes.

Dou Qiang looked at her in despair. Wasn’t she basically telling him to hurry up and die so she could have her fun?

It’s not like he wanted to stay in there forever!
