After Descending the Mountain, Seven Big Brothers Spoil Me - Chapter 898

Chapter 898: The Ancestral Master’s Moment of Glory
“Uncle Director,” Zhouzhou waved her little chubby hand at him with an adorably soft smile, yet it made Zhao Xinghua’s heart feel heavy.

The braver Zhouzhou got, the cuter she seemed! He used to manage her boldness reasonably well, but ever since she met Lan Tian, she’d only become wilder.

Just as he glared at her, Ye Lingfeng shot him a cold look, making Zhao Xinghua flinch and shift his gaze. He clutched his chest and let out a long sigh. One day, these two would be the end of him! He waved them inside. “Come, let’s talk inside.” If he was going to faint, better on a chair than standing.

With business to discuss, the group didn’t waste any time with pleasantries and quickly followed him into the study. Once inside, Ye Lingfeng asked Lan Tian to display the photos and videos they’d just taken.

The content on the screen made Zhao Xinghua’s face turn grim. “Those people!” He clenched his fist, anger simmering in his eyes. And he’d only seen the photos—Zhouzhou and the others had witnessed it firsthand. From any perspective, their actions were abhorrent.

Taking a deep breath, Zhao Xinghua asked, “What are your plans?”

Zhouzhou, with confidence, slapped a Wind-Driven Talisman onto the table. “This talisman can summon a massive gust of wind and blow the filth right back!”

Zhao Xinghua’s eyes lit up. This was perfect! The talismans Zhouzhou made were discreet and undetectable, making it impossible for anyone to trace it back to them. No one could complain; it would just seem like bad luck.

On his way over, Zhao Xinghua had considered all kinds of solutions for handling these troublemakers, even resorting to assassination. But how could he have overlooked Zhouzhou? She specialized in this mystical stuff!

His tension melted away, yet he knew that if they truly went through with this, there would be several factors to consider. But at least this was a viable option.

Chief, not familiar with Zhouzhou’s abilities, looked taken aback. He’d come for a proper discussion, hoping to find a feasible plan, but little Zhouzhou had just produced a talisman right off the bat. It left him completely bewildered. What was this? Couldn’t think of a solution, so they’d just… perform some magic?

Lan Tian, however, took a different view, having seen Zhouzhou’s Invisibility Talisman work. He glanced at the talisman on the table, not doubting it but asking, “Is it powerful enough?”

After all, it was just a piece of paper. Could it truly summon a wind strong enough to affect the entire sea?

Zhouzhou confidently replied, “The Ancestral Master said if it’s not enough, he’ll make more.”

She patted the statue beside her. “Ancestral Master, how about you start preparing the talismans now?”

From within the statue, the Ancestral Master held a piece of yellow paper in one hand and a vermillion brush in the other, muttering as he worked, “Already on it.” Another Heaven-tier Wind-Driven Talisman took shape.

The evil spirits and thousand-year-old ghoul housed in the Soul-Nurturing Talisman felt an overwhelming pressure, making it hard for them to breathe. They quickly fled, glancing back in shock. They’d thought the Ancestral Master was only capable of nagging–who knew he possessed such power? No wonder he’d turned Sanqing Temple into the top temple in the land thousands of years ago. It wasn’t just talent; he was also just plain lazy.

Without paying them any mind, the Ancestral Master casually handed the talisman to Zhouzhou. “Give it a good charge with some Heavenly Thunder, and the effect will be even better.”

Heavenly Thunder, being the enforcer of the heavenly laws, was mainly for punishment, but anything that withstood its strike was granted the blessing of the heavens.

Zhouzhou’s eyes sparkled. “Wow, you could do that all along?” She muttered to herself, “Why didn’t you say so earlier?”

The Ancestral Master huffed, “Back then, you were terrified of getting struck by Heavenly Thunder. Would you have even dared?”

Nope. Zhouzhou shrank back a bit, clutching her head nervously.

Seeing the girl seemingly talking to thin air, the Chief’s gaze turned sympathetic. Poor kid, he thought, must have a few screws loose.

Zhao Xinghua, barely containing himself, snapped at him. “There’s nothing wrong with Zhouzhou’s head!”

At that, both Qin Lie and Ye Lingfeng looked his way with raised eyebrows–what was that about his Zhouzhou? Zhao Xinghua held his ground, puffing out his chest and returning their looks defiantly. Zhouzhou was his! He’d worked hard to bring her in; why wouldn’t she be his?

Ye Lingfeng tapped the table, redirecting everyone’s attention. “Alright, the talisman’s settled. What’s next?”

They couldn’t simply set the wind loose. The power of this talisman rivaled the strongest typhoon. What about the people in R Country? They weren’t all bad. Even though he wanted to wipe that entire island off the map, he doubted the Ancestral Master would agree to it.

Sure enough, the Ancestral Master leaned out from the statue, cautioning, “The talisman is strong, but it must not harm the innocent. Otherwise, Heavenly Thunder will strike chubby girl in a heartbeat.”

Not even he could escape it.

Hearing that, Zhouzhou grew anxious, her little face drooping in dismay. But… it was supposed to be aimed at the bad guys. Why would it strike her?

Ye Lingfeng reassured her with a gentle pat on the head. He wouldn’t let anything happen to her.

He raised this concern aloud, one Zhao Xinghua shared as well. “But… if the wind blows, won’t it cause a tide? How can we avoid flooding the nearby areas?”

“Oh, that’s simple!” Zhouzhou chirped, “We can add a protective talisman to shield people.”

Now, that sounded perfect! Zhao Xinghua looked over at Zhouzhou. “Then it’s up to you to handle the talismans!”

Zhouzhou glanced over at the Ancestral Master, her eyes signaling the task to him. She wasn’t able to draw Heaven-tier talismans yet.

Seeing her gaze, the Ancestral Master huffed with pride. “Now you understand how amazing I am!”

“Yes, yes, Ancestral Master is the best,” Zhouzhou obediently replied, fueling his satisfaction as he cheerfully set to work on the protective talisman.

Creating one that could withstand the powerful wind he’d summoned would indeed be a challenge. He would need to experiment a bit.

With the preparations underway, Zhao Xinghua felt significantly relieved. Gazing at the photos once more, he sighed. “I’d love to see whoever came up with this plan reincarnate right now.”

Not like they were any good anyway. A menace, if anything.

With a grin, Zhouzhou replied, “Don’t worry, they will! Mr. Thunder’s on it!”
