After Descending the Mountain, Seven Big Brothers Spoil Me

Qin Lie furrowed his brow, composed himself, and asked, "Is there anything I can help with?"

Zhouzhou thought for a moment and replied, "Not for now, Dad. I'll let you know when I need something."

"Okay." Qin Lie stood up and patted her head. "Be careful."

"Mm-hmm." Zhouzhou smiled at him before quickly walking out, dialing Skinny Monkey and the others on the phone as she walked. "Skinny Monkey, we've got work to do..."

Her figure soon disappeared from sight.

Qin Ren turned to look at Qin Lie. Seeing the worry on his face, he spoke reassuringly, "Uncle, don't worry. Zhouzhou is very capable. She'll be fine."

"Mm." Qin Lie nodded slightly, his gaze deepening as he stared at the marked locations on the map. "A Country, huh? Let's see what they can do, daring to harm my daughter!"

On the plane, Zhouzhou met up with Skinny Monkey and the others, including other members from the Fourth Bureau who had come from various directions. They weren't on the same plane, but they had all rushed in from different places.

Qi Hua sneered, "What's this? Still daring to lay a hand on Ye? Looking for death!"

Ma Hao stroked the Lion King's head, narrowing his eyes. "That's right. This person must be tired of living. Let's send him on his way."

Lu Ye didn't speak much, his emerald green eyes fixed on the map with an aura of murderous intent.

Luo Jin yawned lazily. "This time, we'll wipe out A Country completely. I've been disgusted by them for a long time. Breathing the same air as them makes me feel nauseous."

Even Xia Jin and the others had arrived. Looking at Zhouzhou, Xia Jin slapped his chest and said, "Zhouzhou, just tell us what you need. We'll support you all the way!"

By now, they had mastered many formations and had been on many missions together. They were already very skilled with complex traps like the "Ghost Wall Formation."

Upon hearing this, Zhouzhou's eyes softened, and she spoke sincerely, "Thank you, uncles."

"No need to be polite." Li Huan glanced at her, twirling a dagger between his fingers. He said slowly, "He's one of our own, and your father. Of course we'll help."

Zhouzhou smiled at his words.

On the way here, Zhouzhou had already briefed them on the situation. Now, each of them was indignant and furrowing their brows in concern.

"Boss, do you think Captain Ye might be in danger?" Skinny Monkey asked anxiously.

"No," Zhouzhou shook her head. "Dad's strong, and I even divined for him before. He's destined to live a long life."

"Exactly." Skinny Monkey quickly added, "Captain Ye is so capable. How could something bad happen to him?"

Zhouzhou nodded as she listened but her brow remained furrowed.

While she knew that Ye Lingfeng was unlikely to be in mortal danger, being alive was one thing, but being alive while living well was something else entirely.

She wanted her father to be safe, healthy, and able to run, jump, and get jealous—not like Master Gong, lying in bed.

Seeing through her thoughts, Xi Mo spoke up, "Don't worry. And don't underestimate Ye Lingfeng. No one alive can touch him."

The military department had also learned about Ye Lingfeng's disappearance right away, and they rushed to act.

Not just for Ye Lingfeng, but also for Zhouzhou. They couldn't be at ease with her on her own.

Looking at them, Zhouzhou took a deep breath, pushed aside the miscellaneous thoughts, and focused on planning the next steps.

Luke had used a magnetic field to interfere with her divination. How was she going to break through that?

Just as she was thinking, her peripheral vision caught sight of Jinbao. Zhouzhou's eyes lit up—how could she have forgotten about it?

"Good Jinbao."

Jinbao, who had been licking its paws, suddenly heard Zhouzhou calling its name. The cat immediately stopped, turned its head to glare at her, and let out a "meow."

Zhouzhou swiftly picked it up and kissed its face a few times.

Jinbao's head shot back, and its paw pushed her away.

Enough!

Let's get to the point!

It wasn't time for that yet!

Zhouzhou giggled and said, "Jinbao, when we get there, can you help me find someone?"

Upon hearing this, Jinbao fluffed up its fur.

It was a cat!

A spiritual cat!

It wasn't a dog!

Its strength lay in not finding people!

Zhouzhou held down its squirming paws and said soothingly, "Jinbao, you're the best, so I'm leaving this task to you."

"Laifu's nose is sharp too, but he's so bulky. No way is he as agile as you."

Hearing this, Laifu growled in displeasure and came over, biting Zhouzhou's clothes in protest.

What do you mean, 'bulky'? It barked in annoyance.

Wolf King shot a glance at it, raised his paw, and slapped Laifu's head, sending it scrambling under the seats in fear.

"Ow—" Laifu whined from under the seat.

Wolf King's fury flared. This little brat!

Fuming, he went after Laifu, aiming for its tail. But Lu Ye quickly raised his hand and pressed down on Wolf King's head, gently stroking the back of its neck.

"Stop. Let Zhouzhou finish speaking."

For the greater good, Wolf King suppressed the impulse to beat its silly son, lying down in frustration.

Wangcai, watching the scene, happily yelped in amusement.

The Lion King gave him a disdainful glance, wondering how the foolish dog could have such a ridiculous son.

Then, it glanced at Little Goldie, curled up next to Zhouzhou, and the corner of its mouth twitched.

Forget it, a fool was still a fool. This was already an established fact between the two of them over the years.

No matter what breed they were originally, those who followed Zhouzhou all ended up as silly pets in the end.

Who knew how she managed to train them that way?

Zhouzhou, oblivious to the Lion King's inner complaints, continued to coax Jinbao.

"Jinbao, I want you to help me find that big bad guy. When you find him, don't do anything. Just come back and tell me."

She suspected that Luke's place had equipment for detecting spiritual beings, just like she had seen back at the Alva's laboratory. Therefore, she couldn't send Xia Jin and the others.

She was worried they might face danger.

Spiritual beings weren't invincible. They had many enemies.

On the other hand, Jinbao was the perfect candidate. It was smart, could catch spiritual beings, and was unaffected by magnetic field interference.

"Once you find him, put this talisman on him." Zhouzhou took out a talisman and handed it to Jinbao.

Jinbao glanced at it but didn't take it. Instead, it rolled onto its back and raised its paws.

Zhouzhou smiled at this and said, "Alright, how about I give you four truckloads of dried fish? I'll even pack them in a big cargo truck for you?"

This offer seemed much more appealing.

Jinbao immediately grabbed the talisman from her hand.

Having arranged Jinbao's task, Zhouzhou turned to assign others their roles.

"Wangcai, when we get there, find your dad first."

Uncle Tiger King was surely with her dad. If they found Tiger King, they'd find her dad too.

"Little Goldie, you help look for Dad too."

"Roar—Got it!"

After that, Zhouzhou outlined her plans.

Xi Mo couldn't help but glance at her.

He had known for years that Zhouzhou had been carrying out missions with the Wealthy Group, but he didn't expect her to have grown so quickly.

Every step she took was well thought out, and everyone she assigned tasks to was making the most of their skills.

Looking at her, a smile appeared in his eyes, but it was quickly replaced by a hint of jealousy.

How could such a brilliant Zhouzhou be Ye Lingfeng's daughter?

It was really unfair to him!
