Kung Fu Baby with 17 Doting Brothers-Chapter 476: Spirit Jade Fractures

Once on the car, Tuanzi kept bickering with Ji Zhangzhuo.

Ji Zhangzhuo, the type of person who always indulges his little junior sister, couldn’t resist teasing her whenever he had the chance, making her fur fluff up like an angry cat.

At this moment, Tuanzi was like a little fluffy kitten, arching her back and hissing, ready to swat at Ji Zhangzhuo any time.

Ji Zhangzhuo continued to test the limits of his survival instinct.

Both sat in the backseat, hands engaged in a frenzied battle, but after several minutes, neither managed to land even a scratch on the other.

Gu Cheng glanced through the rearview mirror, momentarily imagining them as two cats playing with air punches. You punch, I punch, all efforts in vain.

He drove to the shopping street with a newly opened restaurant that received great reviews. Hearing about it from his colleague, he planned to take his younger siblings and two senior apprentices there to try it out. But his brother bailed on him.

After parking the car, Gu Cheng unbuckled his seatbelt and explained, "Your eldest senior brother has already arrived and ordered some dishes. Go ahead and fill your bellies first, then order anything else you like."

Tuanzi and Ji Zhangzhuo stopped their fighting and cheered in unison, "Big brother is the best, we love big brother the most!"

Gu Cheng had booked a small private room; he didn’t want to be disturbed during the meal by fans asking for autographs or pictures.

Eliminating all factors that might disturb his sister while eating.

Tuanzi happily pushed open the door to the private room, only to find Duan Xiayou staring blankly at the Spirit Jade.

"Eldest brother, what’s wrong?"

She sniffed the fragrance in the air, her eyes greedily set on the dishes already on the table. But mindful of her eldest brother’s unusual behavior, she reluctantly averted her gaze back to the dazed Duan Xiayou.

Now that she was closer, and saw more clearly, her eyes widened in surprise, "How did the Spirit Jade crack like that?"

The Spirit Jade in Duan Xiayou’s hand was the first piece with time-traveling abilities. The master crafted many replicas based on it for future disciples.

Ever since Duan Xiayou traveled to modern times, the Spirit Jade has had fine cracks, which made him anticipate he could no longer use it.

But today, right after he entered the private room, the cracks grew larger, as if it was about to break in two.

He couldn’t make sense of the change.

Tuanzi extended her soft paw to touch the Spirit Jade’s cracks, feeling a bit sorry.

"Second brother," she turned to Ji Zhangzhuo, "where is your Spirit Jade?"

Ji Zhangzhuo took out his Spirit Jade, which only had similar fine cracks like Duan Xiayou’s original one.

"Only the eldest brother’s Spirit Jade has a problem."

Ji Zhangzhuo also couldn’t figure out why.

Gu Cheng, who had already taken a seat, handed a piece of fish with the bones removed to his sister’s bowl.

"We don’t necessarily have to think in... magical terms," Gu Cheng paused over his wording, "we can investigate the scientific reasons."

Duan Xiayou was enlightened and searched online, quickly finding several scientific answers.

"It seems to be normal."

He felt relieved.

Looking up, he found his little junior sister joyfully seated, enjoying the de-boned fish prepared by their big brother.

"Eldest brother, don’t worry," Tuanzi said in a small-adult fashion after swallowing the fish meat, "Since we’ve come to the modern era, we must think with the mindset of modern people. Other than time travel, this world is really about science."

She nodded her tiny head in self-affirmation.

Even without her saying so, the two senior brothers were already gradually developing such habits.

No one took the Spirit Jade’s cracking seriously.

Not even the Ancient Martial System. Though it suspected the cracking was related to the time-space tunnel opening, it ruled out this possibility since it hadn’t detected any abnormal energy waves recently.

Tuanzi, feeling happy after a good meal, pleaded sweetly to go shopping with her big brother.

Gu Cheng wasn’t keen on shopping.

But considering the weather was getting warmer, it was time to buy some summer clothes for his sister. Also, the two senior brothers, who had traveled over in colder weather, didn’t have summer clothing either.

All four went to a nearby mall, starting with the men’s clothing section.

The two senior brothers shared the same approach; as long as they liked the style and the size was right, they bought it without any need for comparison.

Within half an hour, both had filled their summer clothing needs and eagerly suggested visiting the children’s section.

Tuanzi tilted her head to look at them, sensing a bad premonition.

Soon, her bad feeling was acknowledged.

The two senior brothers were practically dressing her up like a doll.

Duan Xiayou transformed from lazy to enthusiastic, holding up a puffy dress, "Miaomiao, look at this, it must suit you well. Come, try it on."

Ji Zhangzhuo held up a plaid dress, "Miaomiao, this suits you even better. Try this one on."

Tuanzi hugged her head with her soft paws, "No more trying, it’s too much. Big brother, help me here!"

But no response came.

Perplexed, she looked up and finally spotted her big brother amid a row of sportswear.

"Miaomiao, since you’re here, try this one," he held up a set mainly in white with purple borders, "it’s also suitable for sports."

Tuanzi: ▼_▼

Trying it on was out of the question unless she got a bag of candy.

Gu Cheng was left with no choice but to opt for direct packaging.

Tuanzi pouted, "Hmph! Big brother sticks too much to principles, I can’t get any advantage."

She then turned to the two senior brothers, who were eager but too intimidated by big brother’s authority to dare any mischief under his watchful eye. 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂

After leaving the children’s section, they took the elevator down to the first floor, planning to walk back to the parking lot and head home together.

The indoor shops on the first floor were mostly jewelry and cosmetics, while the street-facing shops sold various foods.

The scents of cakes and milk tea mingled, sneaking into Tuanzi’s nose.

Guessing her big brother wouldn’t agree, she could only hold her nose to block the tempting assault.

As they passed a cake shop, a little boy, cajoling his parents, threw a tantrum, flopping on the floor to roll around.

"I want it, I just want it!"

The mall was quite crowded at this hour, and the boy’s rolling attracted quite an audience.

The young couple, feeling embarrassed, couldn’t just stand idle filming their son’s antics. They eventually gave in and bought him a slice of cream cake, then hurried him away.

Tuanzi watched, eyes wide open.

"Acting up does work."

She sneaked a glance at Gu Cheng.

[Ancient Martial System: Remember Zhong Yi? He kicked up a fuss, and you didn’t agree.]

[Miaomiao: That’s because I’m cold and unfeeling. Big brother is so nice; if Miaomiao throws a fit, he’ll agree.]

Think it, do it.

Tuanzi tugged at Gu Cheng’s hand and probed, "Big brother, if Miaomiao throws a fit and acts up, would you buy her a cake? Just a small piece is enough."

Gu Cheng chuckled, "Well, roll around first, then I’ll know if I’ll agree or not."

Tuanzi’s eyes lit up, preparing to flop onto the ground.

Then she noticed the dirty floor and immediately wrinkled her nose in disdain.

"So dirty! If Qize sees it, he would probably clean it immediately."

Having spent so much time with Gu Qize, she had become quite particular about cleanliness.

Reluctant to roll on such a dirty floor yet unwilling to give up on the cake,

Gu Cheng kindly suggested, "Next time, bring a carpet when you go out, lay it down before rolling."

Tuanzi asked excitedly, "Then will big brother agree?"

Big brother smiled without answering.

The two senior brothers regretfully put away their phones, no chance to film their junior sister rolling on the ground.
