After Descending the Mountain, Seven Big Brothers Spoil Me

"Bang—" Zhouzhou pulled out a talisman to block the bullet and quickly hid behind a tree.

This damn bastard didn't play by rules!

They had agreed not to use real guns during their match, and all their guns had been confiscated, but it turns out he had brought his own. He had been waiting for her all along.

She peeked her head out and saw that there was no sign of Augusta anymore, only a pool of blood that was flowing from his body.

Zhouzhou sneered, thinking she had overestimated him. This was all he was capable of? Hiding like a rat.

She gently stroked Jinbao's fur, and it purred contentedly.

Zhouzhou glanced at the bloodstains on the ground, took a deep breath, and nudged Jinbao, "Jinbao, go catch that big rat for me."

Jinbao rolled over, exposing its belly, and glared at her. It wasn't going anywhere. It wasn't stupid.

She wasn't even going anywhere herself.

Seeing its expression, Zhouzhou laughed, "Jinbao, you really know me well."

Of course.

If it had known her nature the first time they met, it would have run far away. It never would have followed her, this scheming girl.

Zhouzhou held it tight in her arms. Now that it had gotten on her ship, it was too late to jump off.

She sat quietly, teasing Jinbao, pulled out some jerky, and nibbled on it, looking entirely at ease, not in the least bit anxious.

Time ticked by, and Zhouzhou even took a short nap. She woke Jinbao up to keep watch, so no wolves would come and eat her.

Jinbao was so mad, it wanted nothing more than to give her a paw and eat her. This troublemaker!

It was a noble cat! She wasn't even respecting it, making it do all her dirty work.

Wasn't she pushing it too far?

Zhouzhou didn't care, and after waking it up, she fell back asleep herself, carefree.

Time passed slowly, and as night approached, heavy breathing and chaotic footsteps reached her ears.

Augusta had returned, and his face was filled with suspicion as he stared at Zhouzhou. "What did you do?"

Earlier, he had fled while she was dodging, but for some reason, he couldn't get out of the area no matter which way he turned.

It wasn't normal.

He could move freely in the jungle and had his own methods of navigating, so he shouldn't have gotten lost.

But now, after hours of wandering, he was still stuck in the same place.

The only explanation was that Jiang Tang had done something.

But he couldn't figure out exactly what she had done, so he came back to ask.

Zhouzhou yawned and tilted her head, looking at him. "Didn't you check my background? Don't you know I grew up in a Taoist temple and know a bit about metaphysics?"

Augusta knew this, but he didn't believe in it, so he never paid much attention to it.

What he didn't expect was that this one oversight would cost him his life!

Zhouzhou jumped down from the tree, clapped her hands, and smiled. "Since you already know I deliberately led you here, didn't you think I would do something to you?"

Augusta had thought about it, and all along he had been cautious, trying to prevent any traps she might have set.

But he had found nothing!

Only that inexplicable maze that had prevented him from escaping.

He had guessed it right. It was a maze. And it was set up before he came here.

Zhouzhou smiled, "I heard that last time you were nearly beaten to death by my dad, but still managed to run away. I thought to myself, now that I know you can run, I should be prepared this time."

"So, I set up a formation to trap you. After all, I'm short, I can't catch up with your long legs."

As she spoke, Zhouzhou glanced at his legs, her eyes glowing with envy.

Hmph, what was so great about long legs? They were only good for looking at, they couldn't fight at all!

Augusta's anger boiled over at her words. He felt that Zhouzhou was mocking him.

He couldn't hold back and spat out a mouthful of blood. His already pale face flushed red from anger, as he pointed at Zhouzhou and shouted, "You!"

Zhouzhou frowned at his outstretched finger. "Didn't your teacher teach you not to point at people? You have no manners. You should also be thrown back in kindergarten to relearn your lessons."

Hearing the word "also," Ye Lingfeng couldn't help but roll his eyes.

It was clear what she meant by "also."

She was making fun of him and Qin Lie.

He truly couldn't understand what his little girl was thinking, why she was so fixated on sending them back to kindergarten.

Oh well.

Maybe she just wanted them to stay young forever.

Ye Lingfeng tried to deceive himself with that thought.

Augusta didn't understand the joke, but he knew Zhouzhou wasn't saying anything good, so he was enraged, his eyes turning redder.

He pulled out his gun and shot at Zhouzhou.

Zhouzhou's face darkened, and with a slight movement of her finger, a stone hit his wrist, piercing through his bone!

"Ah—"

The sound of Augusta's agonized scream echoed through the forest as he doubled over, clutching his wrist and collapsing to the ground.

One hand had been bitten off, and the other was pierced through. He was furious!

He knew he wouldn't escape today, but dying like this? He couldn't accept it!

His eyes locked on Zhouzhou's direction, and he hissed through gritted teeth, "Even if I die, I will drag you down with me!"

As soon as he spoke, a strange sound came from his throat.

At that moment, Jinbao, who had been sitting on Zhouzhou's shoulder, suddenly stood up.

It heard the sounds of footsteps, feeling as though thousands of soldiers were rushing toward them.

Zhouzhou even felt the ground shaking.

At the same time, a sound came from above. Zhouzhou looked up and saw a dark mass of bats!

They covered the sky, blocking the night's darkness entirely.

The once quiet jungle was now bustling with noise.

Zhouzhou took out a fire talisman and threw it into the air. Below, countless snakes, insects, rats, and ants began to swarm.

Jinbao couldn't help but let out a sharp "meow," its body tensing with alertness.

So many!

Its fear of dense crowds was kicking in!

Up above, Ye Lingfeng stood up in alarm.

This was bad!

Augusta was an expert in beast manipulation, and in a primitive forest like this, he had a natural advantage.

Ye Lingfeng had thought Augusta was doomed, but now he feared Zhouzhou might be in danger.

He quickly turned to the Divine Thunder above him and said, "Send me back now, I need to save Zhouzhou!"

Before Divine Thunder could respond, the Ancestral Master tugged on his sleeve, signaling for him to sit down.

"You won't be able to do anything if you go back now. Your body is still in Hua Country. By the time you get there, Zhouzhou's bones will be eaten clean."

Hearing this, Ye Lingfeng's gaze turned cold, his eyes like daggers. "Don't talk nonsense! If you say that again, I'll smash your Taoist temple!"
