After Descending the Mountain, Seven Big Brothers Spoil Me - Chapter 778

Chapter 778: The Dragon Vein Was Stolen
Xi Mo: “……”

Everyone else: “……”

Early in the morning, what kind of nonsense was she talking about?

Eventually, under Xi Mo’s questioning, Zhouzhou recounted the whole story. She pointed at the mountain behind her, her hands trembling, “It’s empty inside!”

“What?” Commander was taken aback. “Impossible.”

He had given this to the little girl and was planning to recruit her. How could he have sent an empty mountain? At the very least, he should have waited until the person arrived before doing so.

He stepped forward and examined the area closely. By chance, there were a few stones nearby, which he had people break open. One of the stones contained a green substance inside.

He pointed to the stone and said, “See? It’s not empty.”

But Zhouzhou shook her head, “It’s not the same.”

“The jade is still here, but the spiritual energy was stolen long ago.”

Jade without spiritual energy was no different from a rock.

Commander looked confused, unable to grasp the meaning of what she was saying. Wasn’t it jade she wanted?

Seeing his confusion, Zhouzhou didn’t want to explain further. Every extra explanation felt like rubbing salt in her wounds.

Zhouzhou, with her short legs, gestured for Xi Mo to put her down. As soon as she landed, her legs gave way, and she fell to the ground. Quickly, she pushed herself up, her body still stiff from the cold and her recent sadness.

She ran over to Ancestral Master and tugged at him, “Ancestral Master, let’s go. I’ll earn you a new Jade Mountain later.”

There was nothing left, but life had to go on. She couldn’t just stop living.

However, Ancestral Master remained motionless.

Uh-oh, something must be wrong.

Zhouzhou became anxious. She stared at him for a long time before suddenly removing his shoes and reaching for his merit.

Since he was gone, the merit should be preserved; it couldn’t be wasted!

Just as her little chubby hand was about to touch, Ancestral Master suddenly shook and exclaimed from above, “I know what’s going on!”

He then noticed his feet were cold and looked down, guarded, “What are you doing?”

Zhouzhou innocently blinked, “Giving you a massage.”

Really?

Ancestral Master looked at her suspiciously, feeling something was off.

But he had no time to dwell on it. He quickly put on his shoes and continued, “I know why the mountain is empty!”

Zhouzhou, who had been feeling guilty and planning to remain silent, perked up at this and asked eagerly, “Why?”

“Someone intentionally stole the spiritual energy from this mountain!”

Zhouzhou looked at him with a sense of exasperation and shook her head. “Ancestral Master, didn’t we know this last night?”

Why repeat such painful news?

“That’s not what I’m talking about!” The Ancestral Master stomped his foot, feeling that words wouldn’t suffice. Instead, he simply grabbed Zhouzhou and flew up the mountain.

The onlookers gaped as they watched the little chubby girl hover in mid-air. What was going on?

Seeing this, Xi Mo immediately turned around and said solemnly, “You all must be seeing things.”

Hearing this, everyone exchanged glances. They looked at Zhouzhou, who was already halfway up the mountain, then back at Xi Mo, silently questioning, “So, Xi Team, is Zhouzhou jumping up there?”

That must be nearly a hundred meters high! At her height, she could barely kick someone’s knee–how could she jump that high?

To their surprise, Xi Mo remained calm, his eyes not blinking as he confidently declared, “Exactly.”

Everyone was speechless.

The Commander rolled his eyes at him. “Alright, we’re all of our own guys here. Let’s go see what’s happening.”

The only people who had come along, besides the two of them, were Wei Fangyi and the members of the Wealthy Group. Even Dou Qiang and the others hadn’t shown up, probably thinking Zhouzhou was still sleeping in and was secretly training to surpass them.

Those who had arrived were familiar with the Ancestral Master and could roughly guess what was happening. Wei Fangyi had yet to meet the Ancestral Master, but seeing that Xi Mo was unconcerned reassured him that the little girl was alright. He raised an eyebrow, becoming even more curious about Zhouzhou. This little girl had quite a few secrets!

Not wasting any time, everyone quickly made their way up the mountain.

After more than half an hour, they finally found Zhouzhou. As they approached, they could hear her furious shouts.

“Which bastard dares to touch my mountain? When I find you, I’ll skin you alive, peel off your tendons, and sell your kidneys to make some money!”

At those words, everyone felt a twinge of pain in their waist.

Wei Fangyi couldn’t help but let out a quiet gasp, turning to Xi Mo with an expression that said it all. “Zhouzhou is quite fierce.”

Even if it took a lifetime, she would pursue her enemies for eighteen generations.

This was terrifying!

Upon hearing this, Xi Mo shot him a glance. This was just the beginning; if someone dared to mess with her, she would fight back fiercely. If someone took away her mountain, it was already generous of her not to hunt them down for the next one hundred and eighty generations!

He approached and patted Zhouzhou on the head, asking, “What’s going on?”

Zhouzhou pointed to a spot, her face full of anger. “Uncle, someone is trying to mess with our dragon vein! They want to steal our luck!”

What?

Commander was taken aback, no longer in the mood for jokes. He quickly asked, “What do you mean by that?”

Zhouzhou pulled out a map. “Uncle Commander, look here. This area is surrounded by mountains and water, a place of good fortune, where the wind and energy gather–it’s where the dragon vein lies.”

“And here.” Zhouzhou squatted down at the spot she had indicated and dug a little. To everyone’s surprise, a gully appeared beneath, along with several irregular pits nearby, all appearing to have been excavated with a purpose, not randomly dug.

Commander’s brow furrowed tightly. “This is…”

“It’s a crisscross gully!” Zhouzhou explained seriously, her small face stern. “Digging such pits on the dragon’s back can block the dragon vein, causing the spiritual energy to dissipate. Uncle Commander, this was done on purpose!”

Otherwise, such a natural formation wouldn’t occur. And it couldn’t have been accidental; it was too coincidental for it to be in this exact location.

“Look here.” Zhouzhou gestured around, and even in daylight, it was clear to see. “All the trees here are dead.”

Skinny Monkey couldn’t help but ask, “But Boss, it’s winter now. Isn’t it normal for the trees to be dead?”

“Not normal.” Zhouzhou shook her head and walked to a tree, hugging it and, with a slight pull, uprooted it.

Before anyone could express their amazement, Zhouzhou said, “A healthy tree, even in winter when it loses its leaves, is still alive. But all the trees here are dead.”

Following the direction of her finger, the crowd gasped in shock. They saw that the roots of the tree were rotten, unmistakably a dead tree!

Seeing this, Xi Mo’s gaze darkened. He walked over, casually uprooted another tree, and found the roots were identical.

Others, not believing it, each pulled up a tree.

Minutes later, they looked at the line of decaying trees laid out on the ground, and everyone fell silent.

It was true!

Commander gritted his teeth. “Find that person! I want to dig out their heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys for the next one hundred and eighty generations!”
