After Descending the Mountain, Seven Big Brothers Spoil Me-Chapter 1139: Zhouzhou: Time to Slack Off!
The work was done, but the merits never came. Zhouzhou couldn't even be happy looking at the card Shao Shanshan left her. After all, the money was just for show—she couldn't spend it, so what was the point?
Thinking about this, Zhouzhou lost all motivation. She clenched her fists and huffed heavily in the direction of the Ancestral Master, saying, "I'm done! From now on, I'm not working anymore!"
After all, it was all for nothing in the end. She was quitting!
Upon hearing this, the Ancestral Master immediately felt his eyelids twitch, and a sense of dread filled him. This was exactly what he feared would happen.
If his little disciple decided to quit, what would he do?
He quickly scrambled to placate her, "Zhouzhou, just try a little harder! You've been working so hard for so many years, you're just one step away from success. What a pity to stop now!"
Upon hearing this, Zhouzhou stamped her foot and grumbled, "But it's so hard! I've been at this for two years! Not a single sign of progress!"
With his talisman, she had thought she'd finally found the right direction, but it still didn't work!
What was the point of continuing?
She now seriously suspected that this was all the Ancestral Master's plot.
Her destiny of being poor could never be changed!
Thinking of this, Zhouzhou puffed up her cheeks in anger.
The Ancestral Master looked at her, beads of sweat forming on his forehead, panicking.
He took out a copper coin and began to calculate, but alas, in their line of work, they could calculate everything but themselves. The only thing his calculations confirmed was that his direction wasn't wrong—the talisman lit up for someone, helping that person out.
But how was that helping him?
Now, he was more anxious than Zhouzhou.
Gritting his teeth, he said, "I don't care! You promised me you'd make me the brightest Ancestral Master, that others would envy me! You can't go back on your word!"
Zhouzhou rolled her eyes and crossed her legs, fully in slack mode. She glanced at him and said, "You still take those empty promises seriously? Didn't you promise me things too? We're even."
The Ancestral Master was at a loss for words, realizing that tough tactics wouldn't work. He had to try a gentler approach.
He sat down on the ground and slapped his thigh dramatically, wailing, "Why is my fate so cruel? I had such a golden opportunity, only for it to vanish. Why is it so hard to get it back?"
"From now on, just let me be laughed at by other temples for missing a piece of my face!"
"I don't mind being laughed at; after all, I've been dead for thousands of years. But I feel sorry for Zhouzhou, so young, already balding—what will she do in the future?"
Zhouzhou waved her hand, "It's okay. I used to be bald when I was little, and I was still happy."
Ancestral Master: "..."
This girl wouldn't listen to reason.
Before he could say more, Zhouzhou lost her patience, grabbed him, and shoved him into the statue. She then slapped a silencing talisman on it.
Perfect!
She clapped her hands and sighed with relief.
Feeling down, Zhouzhou rolled around on her bed, not wanting to sleep. Instead, she decided to play on her phone.
Just then, she suddenly received a message from Ye Lingfeng.
"Zhouzhou, are you at the Miao Border?"
Hmm, how did Dad know?
Zhouzhou quickly replied, "Yeah," and the next second, Ye Lingfeng's call came in.
His voice was heavy. Without much preamble, he said, "Zhouzhou, I'm sending you an address. Come over quickly. Wen Jing is in trouble."
What?
Zhouzhou jumped up and looked at the location he sent, which wasn't far from her. "I'm coming right now."
"Okay."
After hanging up, Zhouzhou didn't waste any time and quickly headed out.
Oddly, when she mentioned the place, several drivers refused to go. She had to add two hundred more yuan before one driver reluctantly agreed to take her, as long as he dropped her near the location.
Once in the car, the driver tried to persuade her, "Little girl, what are you doing going to a place like that at night? It's kind of scary."

Curious, Zhouzhou asked, "What's so scary about it?"
The driver opened up, "That place is cursed. Everyone who passes through there ends up in trouble. I heard that when the bodies are dissected, they're full of worms."
He shuddered, his skin crawling at the thought.
At the mention of worms, Zhouzhou narrowed her eyes.
Worms?
She immediately thought of the Love Bug.
Could this be related?
She twirled the copper coin in her fingers, deep in thought.
The driver kept trying to talk her out of it, but Zhouzhou wasn't listening. Eventually, he stopped the car a kilometer away from the destination. Before she could say anything, he quickly started the car and drove off.
Zhouzhou couldn't help but twitch her mouth at how scared he was.
She was determined to find out what kind of spooky creatures were here. Besides, she'd spent an extra two hundred yuan, so she had to make sure to earn it back somehow!
As she thought about it, Zhouzhou pulled out an Instant Move Talisman and headed towards Ye Lingfeng.
"Zhouzhou."
Ye Lingfeng noticed her right away. He looked up and waved at her.
"Dad!" Zhouzhou rushed over. Before she could say anything, she saw Wen Jing leaning against a tree, eyes closed, looking as though she was sleeping. Her neck had visible bruising, clearly from being knocked out.
Wan Leng stood nearby, arms crossed, his usual emotionless expression darker than ever. Even from a few meters away, Zhouzhou could feel the cold aura emanating from him.
She was shocked. "Dad, why did you knock out Sister Marvelous?"
Ye Lingfeng's lips twitched at the question. "She..."
Before he could finish, Wen Jing woke up.
Her eyes snapped open and fixed directly on Wan Leng.
Wan Leng's eyelids twitched. Just as he was about to flee, Wen Jing threw a Body-Freezing Talisman at him, freezing him in place. She then pounced on him, her fingers curling under his chin. She purred, "Little Wan Wan, why are you running? Let me give you a kiss."
Zhouzhou's eyes went wide, "Wow!"
She immediately pulled out some sunflower seeds and a little stool, sitting right in front of them.
Front row seat for the drama!
But hold on, when did Sister Marvelous develop feelings for Uncle Wan?
Wasn't she always saying he was an wooden head, destined to be alone?
Wan Leng was frozen in place, unable to move. He desperately blinked at Zhouzhou.
Help me!
Even at a time like this, she was watching the show!
Wen Jing noticed her and smirked. "Zhouzhou, wanna join?"
Zhouzhou: "Huh?"
Join what?
Before she could ask, Ye Lingfeng's face darkened. Without a word, he stepped forward, covered Zhouzhou's ears with one hand, and with the other, swiftly struck Wen Jing's neck.
Knock her out.
She's such a bad influence on my daughter!
