After Descending the Mountain, Seven Big Brothers Spoil Me - Chapter 781

Chapter 781: His Mental Strength is Too Weak
After seeing his daughter in such a state, Ye Lingfeng was filled with rage, and nothing but a fight could ease his anger.

Coincidentally, Xi Mo, who had been feeling irritated about being second-in-command for a long time, became just as angry when he saw the man who always took first place in Zhouzhou’s heart.

“Alright then,” he said.

Sparks flew between the two men, and a fight seemed inevitable.

Zhouzhou looked from one to the other, then slapped her little legs and exclaimed, “Hey, stop it! Don’t fight over me anymore!”

Ye Lingfeng: “…”

Xi Mo: “…”

Since when did this little girl start acting like such a drama queen?

Ye Lingfeng looked at Zhouzhou, speechless. He pinched the bridge of his nose and, after a few seconds, sighed.

He asked Xi Mo, “Still want to fight?”

Without hesitation, Xi Mo shook his head.

No fight. It wasn’t worth it. He feared that if they did start fighting, Zhouzhou would be standing on the side with a megaphone, narrating their brawl like a soap opera.

Their fragile hearts couldn’t handle that.

Ye Lingfeng was thinking the same thing.

Just like that, the tension between them dissolved.

Seeing that they weren’t going to fight anymore, Zhouzhou smiled widely and, satisfied, grabbed their hands and placed them together. With a face full of joy, she said, “There, that’s better.”

“Shake hands. From now on, you’re friends, okay? No more fighting.”

Ye Lingfeng & Xi Mo: “…”

The two men glanced at each other, instantly letting go of their hands and turning their heads away, avoiding further contact.

They quietly hid their hands behind their backs and furiously wiped them off.

Disgusted!

Wen Jing watched the scene unfold and couldn’t help but laugh.

When had she ever seen their boss like this?

It was quite amusing.

Hearing her laugh, Zhouzhou turned her head and started laughing too.

Suddenly, Zhouzhou remembered something important.

“Sister Marvelous, let’s go to the mountain and take a look!”

“Okay.” Wen Jing nodded, holding Zhouzhou’s little hand as they headed out.

Ye Lingfeng and Xi Mo followed behind them in silence, not even sparing a glance at each other, their eyes fixed on Zhouzhou.

Xi Mo drove them there this time, and after twenty minutes, they arrived.

Zhouzhou led them to the spot along the dragon’s back and pointed to the cracks in the ground.

When Wen Jing saw it, her brow immediately furrowed. “A star-shaped crack?”

“Yeah, yeah!” Zhouzhou nodded vigorously. “That’s it, big sister! Someone’s trying to steal the Dragon Vein here.”

“The Ancestral Master went to check other places, but we’re in charge of this one for now.”

“Hmm.” Wen Jing nodded. She squatted down and closely examined the area, hoping to find some clues.

Unfortunately, there was nothing.

Zhouzhou sighed. “I already looked, but I couldn’t find anything either. I don’t know where the bad guy is.”

Talking about this made the little chubby girl feel a bit down.

She really wanted to catch the bad guy, get some money, and earn merit.

Wen Jing thought for a moment, then said seriously, “Don’t worry. If we can’t find them, we’ll just lure the snake out of its hole and wait for it.”

“How do we lure it out? How do we wait?” Zhouzhou immediately asked, her eyes wide with curiosity.

Wen Jing smiled meaningfully and whispered something in Zhouzhou’s ear.

Zhouzhou’s eyes widened in amazement as she nodded enthusiastically. “Wow, Sister Marvelous, you’re so sneaky! I love it!”

She looked up at Wen Jing with admiration, her face full of adoration.

Wen Jing smiled and patted her head. However, her expression turned serious again when she looked at the cracks, and a cold glint flashed in her eyes.

More underhanded tricks!

With a plan in place, Zhouzhou walked back with a spring in her step.

She held one of Ye Lingfeng’s hands and one of Xi Mo’s, hopping along like a little rabbit. When she got tired, she bent her short legs and had them swing her like a seesaw.

Both men indulged the little lazy girl, lifting her up and making her giggle all the way.

Wen Jing walked behind them, unable to suppress her smile.

Soon, they returned to the training grounds and put their plan into action.

“I’ll do it!” Zhouzhou eagerly took out her small computer and volunteered.

“Alright, you can handle it.” Ye Lingfeng trusted her enough to let her take charge.

Zhouzhou’s chubby little fingers danced across the keyboard, and before long, she had uploaded a video of them restoring the Dragon Vein.

They made sure everyone could see it.

Though the Dragon Vein had been severed, it could still be restored. All it took was a mixture of cinnabar, Dragon Vein talismans, and soil, properly buried. Of course, merit was also essential for a full recovery.

Since there wasn’t much merit left, and Zhouzhou had already used some, she was even more annoyed.

“When we catch the bad guy, we’re making him pay double!”

The video didn’t show their faces, only their hands. Ordinary people might think they were just gardening, but those in the know would understand what was really happening.

And especially the perpetrator–they wouldn’t want the Dragon Vein to be restored.

Now, they just had to wait for him.

Hitting the enter key, Zhouzhou let out a long sigh of relief and clapped her little hands. “All done.”

She looked eagerly at Wen Jing and asked, “Sister Marvelous, can we go catch the bad guy now?”

“No rush.” Wen Jing patted her head. “There are already people watching the area and drones monitoring it from all angles. If anyone shows up, we’ll know right away. We can go when the time comes.”

Hearing this, Zhouzhou nodded. “Then let’s keep training!”

She looked at Xi Mo with excitement.

People loved training this much were rarely seen.

Xi Mo chuckled, then turned to Ye Lingfeng. “You should stay. Don’t come along.”

He looked like he was worried that Ye Lingfeng might act like an overprotective parent and cause trouble. After all, Ye Lingfeng doted on Zhouzhou. If not, he wouldn’t have wanted to fight him earlier over her training.

Zhouzhou looked up at them.

She patted Ye Lingfeng’s leg and sighed heavily, speaking like a little adult, “Dad, you can’t love me too much. A flower raised in a greenhouse can never grow up to be a rich lady.”

She even knew how to twist phrases now.

Ye Lingfeng raised an eyebrow, trying not to laugh.

He turned to Xi Mo and said, “I’m coming. Don’t worry, I won’t interfere.”

Xi Mo eyed him suspiciously, not believing him.

Zhouzhou also looked up at him. “Really?”

Ye Lingfeng: “…”

He grabbed the little chubby girl, lifted her up, and said with a dark expression, “Where’s the training room?”

Zhouzhou pointed him in the right direction.

Ye Lingfeng strode over.

Xi Mo followed without saying anything, but he kept an eye on Ye Lingfeng, just in case.

Even though Ye Lingfeng had prepared himself, when he saw Zhouzhou standing on ice in short sleeves and shorts in the middle of winter, his face darkened immediately.

A few minutes later, without a word, he stepped outside and slammed his fist against the wall.

Xi Mo glanced at him, then said to Zhouzhou, “See? I told you his mental strength is too weak.”
