After Descending the Mountain, Seven Big Brothers Spoil Me - Chapter 955

Chapter 955: Back to Being a Poor Little Kid
“What is it?” Zhouzhou, so sleepy her eyelids were about to close, didn’t want to move.

She murmured, “Dad said not to run around.”

They had been working with patients all day at the hospital, and if they brought the virus outside, who knew what would happen? So, they all had to stay in the hospital and couldn’t leave.

Ancestral Master said, “We’re not going outside. We’re just staying in the hospital. Come on, let’s go, I’ll show you our merits.”

Merits?

Zhouzhou immediately opened her eyes wide.

Seeing her reaction, Ancestral Master continued, “It’s the merit that was owed to us. Don’t you remember?”

Of course, Zhouzhou remembered!

She had been waiting for it for a long time.

But these past few days had been so busy that she hadn’t had time to think about it.

Now that he mentioned it, she immediately remembered. “Ancestral Master, did you find it?”

“Yes.” Ancestral Master nodded, grinning, but then sighed, adding, “You’ll see when we get there.”

Zhouzhou suddenly had a bad feeling.

She quickly followed him outside.

Ancestral Master led her to the roof.

“Look,” he pointed to the sky.

Zhouzhou looked up. The sky hadn’t darkened yet, and her line of sight wasn’t obstructed. She could clearly see that a patch of Merits Light was enveloping the entire city, slowly purifying it.

Seeing this, Zhouzhou was a little surprised and her eyes went wide.

Ancestral Master said, “I’ve calculated it. This is the merit that was supposed to be ours, but the Heavenly Dao took it and is using it here.”

So that’s why it had taken so long!

How annoying. They borrowed it without even telling them, didn’t mention when they would return it, or if there was interest.

Ancestral Master couldn’t help but complain inwardly.

Just as he was thinking this, he noticed Zhouzhou’s eyes were round and full of amazement as she looked at him. He suddenly had a bad premonition.

His body stiffened, and he looked up in time to see the Heavenly Thunder about to strike. He quickly ducked behind Zhouzhou, using her small frame to shield himself.

Zhouzhou: “…”

She puffed up her cheeks angrily, pulled Ancestral Master out from behind her, stomped her little feet, and asked, “Ancestral Master, how could you do that?!”

It was one thing for him to mess around with her, but using her to block the lightning was too much, just too much!

Hearing this, Ancestral Master peeked at the Heavenly Thunder, saw that it wasn’t moving, and he let out a sheepish laugh, saying, “I was just kidding! I didn’t mean it!”

The Heavenly Thunder in question wasn’t pleased, sparks crackling as it looked like it was ready to strike again.

“See? I’m the one who’s in trouble. I only have my soul left. If I get struck again, I’ll be finished. You’ve got three lives, so you have nothing to fear.”

When Zhouzhou heard this, she raised her little fist and said, “Those three lives were given to me by Mom! If you make me lose them, I’ll have to take you down for sure!”

Saying that, Zhouzhou looked completely serious, not joking in the slightest.

The golden ingot left to her by An Ya was her bottom line.

She could allow them to strike her, but not the golden ingot.

Remembering this, Ancestral Master scratched his nose sheepishly. “Okay, okay, I won’t use you as a shield anymore.”

That was better.

Zhouzhou snorted and looked up at the Merits Light. “Ancestral Master, what is the use of this Merits Light?”

“Ah,” Ancestral Master said, “It’s very important. It can clear the toxic air of heaven and earth. When it falls on the human body, the effect goes without saying.”

Zhouzhou nodded, understanding.

After thinking for a moment, she asked, “Can I give my merits to someone else?”

She could only give it to a single person, but spreading it out for many was something she didn’t know how to do.

Hearing this, Ancestral Master was stunned, and he asked in surprise, “You want to give it away?”

“Yes,” Zhouzhou nodded. “Everyone is suffering, it’s so painful.”

That was what she said, but…

Ancestral Master sighed, “Zhouzhou, by doing this, it makes me look so inconsiderate.”

He couldn’t believe a little girl was more thoughtful than him. How embarrassing!

At that moment, Heavenly Thunder stirred and shot Ancestral Master a glare. “Looks like he knows a thing or two now.”

Heavenly Thunder took a glance at Zhouzhou and then decided that it wouldn’t strike her again.

Zhouzhou, noticing the thunder’s thoughts, brightened and whispered, “Mr. Thunder, does this mean I can now just get money by faking it?”

Hearing this, Heavenly Thunder moved its hand, and sparks suddenly appeared above her head.

Zhouzhou jumped in fright and immediately covered her head, looking at it pitifully.

This was all your idea!

Zhouzhou was so wronged she almost wanted to cry.

But she was wearing protective gear and couldn’t cry.

Sigh, her life was so tough.

After scaring the little one, Heavenly Thunder retracted the sparks and gave Zhouzhou an exasperated glance.

Ugh, so useless!

“Can’t you just do something truly bad for once?”

Hearing this, Zhouzhou became even more aggrieved, “I just wanted to get some money, and it’s all from the bad guys. You don’t even let me do that. If I really did something bad, wouldn’t you strike me until I was smoking?”

Well, that was true.

Heavenly Thunder thought it over and relented. Fine, it would let her do that, but it would still keep an eye on her.

Zhouzhou stared blankly at the sky. Was that his decision? This was too much!

If it weren’t for the time and place, she would have rolled on the ground by now.

She had never seen such bullying of a child!

Ancestral Master saw this and couldn’t help but chuckle, thinking of how she had mocked him earlier.

“How’s it feel to get your comeuppance?”

He was about to say something else when he noticed Heavenly Thunder glaring at him and quickly stopped.

Seeing how much the little one had been bullied, he realized that Heavenly Thunder wasn’t as nice as it appeared.

After laughing at her for a while, Ancestral Master cleared his throat and pulled Zhouzhou back to the matter at hand.

“Have you thought it through? You really want to give it away?”

“You’ve worked so hard to gather all this merit. If you give it away, your chances of getting rid of your poor fate will be delayed again.”

Hearing this, Zhouzhou touched her little leg, which now felt completely golden. She gritted her teeth and nodded, “I’ve decided it!”

She closed her eyes and said, “Ancestral Master, hurry and take it!”

If he didn’t take it soon, she was going to cry.

It was so hard to part with it.

Seeing that she had really made up her mind, Ancestral Master didn’t persuade her any further. He waved his hand, and a brilliant golden light shot up into the sky, making the Merits Light fall even more abundantly.

Feeling the cold on her leg, Zhouzhou pouted, but in the end, she didn’t cry.

Well, it was worth it if she could help more people.

At that moment, she suddenly realized something wasn’t right. Her little chubby hand reached out and started tugging on Ancestral Master’s clothes.

Ancestral Master quickly took a step back and said, “Zhouzhou, although you’re still young, you’re already seven years old. You need to pay attention to the difference between boys and girls.”

Zhouzhou blinked, completely confused. What on earth was Ancestral Master talking about?

Ignoring his strange words, she changed the subject, asking, “Ancestral Master, why is the golden light on your leg gone?”

Seeing that she wasn’t fooled, Ancestral Master pretended to be generous. “I gave it away too. I couldn’t let you outdo me.”

Hearing this, Zhouzhou grinned at him. She knew it, Ancestral Master was the best!

She patted his leg and said, “Don’t worry, Ancestral Master. When I get more, I’ll earn some for you!”

“Okay!” Ancestral Master nodded, looking completely nonchalant. Both of them were equally generous.

But once they turned around, their faces both fell, and they each clutched their hearts.

Oh, how painful!
