After Descending the Mountain, Seven Big Brothers Spoil Me - Chapter 802

Chapter 802: Retribution Arrives
“Yes.” Lu Mingyuan nodded.

In the next moment, a furious voice rang out in his mind: “You idiot! Why are you admitting it? Wei is dead, and there’s no evidence. What can they do to you without proof?”

But Lu Mingyuan merely chuckled, his eyes filled with sadness. “But Ruoruo can never come back.”

His gaze was full of sorrow. He had known from the start that it wasn’t right, but he couldn’t resist the temptation in his heart, thinking that maybe there was a chance. However, heaven was never going to allow such a thing to happen. The Earth Qi Formation was broken, and with it, his wife’s chance of waking up was gone.

Upon hearing this, Zhouzhou couldn’t hold back anymore and said, “Auntie is sick, not possessed. You need to use scientific methods to wake her up!”

Upon hearing the word “scientific,” both Ye Lingfeng and Xi Mo turned their gazes towards the little girl’s bag. Inside were her compass, copper coins, peachwood sword, and a bunch of superstitious items. The word “science” coming from her mouth felt strangely out of place.

But Zhouzhou stood firm, proudly looking at them.

Big brother always said that science and metaphysics are intertwined. Her metaphysics are scientific too! So, she believed strongly in science.

Lu Mingyuan was also taken aback. “But I’ve already sought out countless doctors. They all said that Ruoruo has little chance of waking up.”

“That’s because you didn’t find a good one!” Zhouzhou declared confidently, her eyes sparkling as she looked at him.

Seeing her look at him like that, Lu Mingyuan paused before finally understanding what she meant. Hesitantly, he asked, “Little girl, can you save her?”

His tone was full of doubt.

Zhouzhou immediately puffed up, patting her chest. “You know Liu Hanqiu, right? He’s my apprentice!”

Hearing this, Lu Mingyuan’s pupils shrank, his eyes widening in disbelief as he looked at Zhouzhou.

Of course, he knew who Liu Hanqiu was. Everyone in the country knew who he was. And this little girl claimed to be his master?

Without waiting for his reaction, Zhouzhou snorted and hopped down from Ye Lingfeng’s lap, walking over to the bedside. After checking for a while, she gestured for Lu Mingyuan to help lift the woman.

Though confused, Lu Mingyuan complied.

Zhouzhou pulled out a set of golden needles but, seeing that she couldn’t reach, clambered onto the bed. As a soft laugh rang in her ears, she pursed her lips, refusing to look over. She was too magnanimous to hold a grudge over them laughing at her today!

One day, when she grew taller, she’d give them a piece of her mind. Hmph!

Standing on the bed, Zhouzhou grasped the golden needles, calmed herself, and then quickly started inserting them into Ruoruo’s head. Her movements were swift, leaving Lu Mingyuan no time to react. He could only watch helplessly as she plunged the needles in.

He opened his mouth, but seeing how focused Zhouzhou was, he swallowed his words and anxiously waited for Ruoruo’s reaction.

In no time, Ruoruo was covered in needles. Once she was done, Zhouzhou hopped off the bed and dusted off her chubby little hands. “Wait half an hour.”

As she spoke, her eyes drifted towards the fruit on the nightstand, and her stomach rumbled.

Seeing her adorable, hungry expression, Lu Mingyuan smiled lightly, “Go ahead and eat.”

“Really?” Zhouzhou tilted her head, looking at him.

Lu Mingyuan nodded, a nostalgic look in his eyes. “If my daughter were still alive, she’d be about your age.”

But, unfortunately…

His expression darkened.

No wonder he had been so kind to her before–it was because she reminded him of his daughter.

Zhouzhou understood and then solemnly said, “Uncle, no matter how much you like me, I can’t be your daughter. My daddy would get jealous. He’s a big jar of vinegar.”

Lu Mingyuan smiled more deeply at that.

Talking to this little girl was quite amusing.

“He likes you too. If it were up to him, he’d probably steal you away.”

He was talking about that him.

Ye Lingfeng’s cold glare shot over.

“Let him try.”

The tone was mild, but the warning was clear.

Lu Mingyuan said nothing in response, knowing full well it was impossible. The two people before him weren’t ordinary, and even this little girl wasn’t someone easy to mess with. Whatever he wished for, it wouldn’t come to pass.

Zhouzhou, of course, would have nothing to do with him, much less become his daughter. She might have two dads, but she wasn’t in the habit of collecting more on the way!

Having gotten permission, she happily began to eat.

Ye Lingfeng sighed helplessly. This little glutton would sell herself for a bite of food one day.

Time passed slowly, and after half an hour, Zhouzhou removed the needles. Just as Lu Mingyuan was about to say it hadn’t worked, Ruoruo’s fingers twitched slightly. For the first time since her accident, she had responded.

Lu Mingyuan’s face lit up with joy.

Zhouzhou remarked, “To fully wake up, she’ll need more acupuncture sessions.”

But before Lu Mingyuan could celebrate further, Zhouzhou added bluntly, “But Uncle, you’re about to die.”

Her words were direct and straightforward.

Karma and retribution were inevitable. The Earth Qi Formation had caused significant harm and accumulated immense sin. Heaven would not spare him. The thunder was already gearing up–once it struck, not even a trace of his soul would remain.

At this, the other voice inside Lu Mingyuan grew panicked.

“Why! The Lu family was far worse than I was.”

If it weren’t for them, he would never have existed in the first place. His existence and everything he did–it was all their fault!

“Let me take over. I’ll explain to them.”

But this time, Lu Mingyuan didn’t let him out. For the first time, he firmly maintained control over his body.

After all, it was his body.

He looked at Zhouzhou and asked, “What about Ruoruo?”

Zhouzhou glanced at Ruoruo and said, “She’ll be fine. Her deathly fate has passed, and her life will be smooth sailing from now on.”

Upon hearing this, Lu Mingyuan finally breathed a long sigh of relief.

With a smile of contentment, he looked at Zhouzhou. “Little girl, do you have any protective talismans or charms? I’d like to buy a few for Ruoruo.”

Zhouzhou’s eyes lit up, realizing she had some business to do. She eagerly nodded, “Yes, yes, yes!”

She happily took out a few charms and handed them to him.

Lu Mingyuan took them and placed them in Ruoruo’s hands. Holding her hand, he gently kissed her forehead.

Softly, he said, “Ruoruo, I’m leaving. Live well from now on.”

“And in the next life, don’t meet me again.”

Lu Minghan’s words had convinced even him–perhaps he really did bring misfortune to those close to him.

At that moment, thunder appeared.

Seeing it, Lu Mingyuan froze, quickly letting go of Ruoruo’s hand, afraid of dragging her into it.

Zhouzhou sighed, not expecting the thunder to come so quickly.

She couldn’t help but wonder what Ruoruo’s reaction would be once she woke up.

Just as she was lost in thought, the thunder seemed to notice her and suddenly sent a tiny branch toward her..
