Kung Fu Baby with 17 Doting Brothers-Chapter 696: So Annoying

Eighteen... Thirty-nine... Fifty-two... Tuanzi is calling people outside, while Ning Jixiu is counting inside.

After confirming that Tuanzi’s call for "eighth senior brother" exceeded his call for "senior sister," the Sect Hierarch, whose mental age is influenced by his body, unhurriedly opened the door.

At his current height, he had to stand on his tiptoes slightly to turn the doorknob.

To avoid anyone seeing this, he specifically leaned against the door panel to twist open the door, then pretended to easily pull it open.

The good mood lasted until his junior sister said, "Your mood changes more than the weather in Jiang City."

Ning Jixiu angrily replied, "I’m not moody!"

He grabbed his breakfast, angrily returned to the room, and shut the door.

Outside the door.

Tuanzi rubbed her head and muttered softly, "He says he’s not moody, eighth senior brother is just deluding himself."

After a pause, she asked, "Did Miaomiao use the right idiom?"

[Ancient Martial System: You used it correctly, don’t bother him, he’ll come out when he calms down.]

Tuanzi obediently left.

Inside, Ning Jixiu, who was eavesdropping against the door, puffed up his cheeks.

He was waiting for his junior sister to comfort him, but why did she leave?

After having this thought, his round face showed an expression of terror.

"Why have I become so childish?"

He refused to admit he was influenced by his body.

Admitting it would be like admitting that he had such a character in his childhood.

"It must be that Zhen guy’s doing!"

He was so angry he refused to call him senior brother or by name.

He planned to go confront him right away, but his grumbling stomach stopped him.

In the first-floor hall.

Tuanzi, after learning some idioms and practicing martial arts, was lying tired on the sofa.

"So tired! Miaomiao’s head hurts!"

She patted her somewhat round belly and remarked with an air of age, "Being a child is not easy!"

Zhen Haowei and the others, who had just returned, heard this and exchanged knowing smiles.

Ji Zhangzhuo brought a box of pastries closer, "Junior sister, are you too tired to eat?"

He deliberately opened the pastry box, letting the aroma waft out.

"Then senior brother will have to help you eat them."

Before he finished speaking, the tired little girl flipped over, sat up, snatched the pastry box, and swiftly took out a piece and stuffed it into her mouth.

"Eating isn’t tiring."

She mumbled vaguely, "Eating is a pleasure, not strenuous."

Ji Zhangzhuo admired with his face full of respect, "For food, you’ll become a sage, junior sister, such reasoning." 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺

Tuanzi bobbed her head proudly.

If she couldn’t reason, she wouldn’t be able to win over her master.

After eating quite a few pieces, she noticed Ji Zhangzhuo sticking around and handed him the box, "Second senior brother, just take if you want to eat."

Ji Zhangzhuo, only interested in meat, refused and then, seemingly realizing something, said cheekily, "Do you want to know why seventh senior brother traveled through time twice?"

Tuanzi paused while chewing the pastry.

Zhen Haowei has traveled twice, once due to a life-and-death crisis. At that time, he found that the Sect Leader had practiced a Demon Cultivator’s technique and killed that disciple when he went looking for the apprentice who was late for their meal appointment with wine and barbecue in hand.

Unable to defeat the Sect Leader, he fled in desperation and traveled to master’s side in a life-and-death moment.

But he’s never revealed the reason for the second time.

As a curious cat, Tuanzi nodded eagerly.

"I want to know, but seventh senior brother won’t say, and Miaomiao can’t help it."

"Hey," Ji Zhangzhuo’s babyface showed an even more annoying expression, "I just bought something out, treated him to drinks, and he told me."

He didn’t say the rest explicitly, but his face screamed, ’Beg me, ask me!’

Tuanzi puffed her face and glared at him.

Ji Zhangzhuo kept smiling.

Within a minute, Tuanzi conceded, scuttled closer, and almost whispered, "Why did seventh senior brother time travel? Was he chased by the Sect Leader again? Second senior brother, you’re the best second senior brother, just tell Miaomiao."

Driven by curiosity, Tuanzi generously pushed all the pastries over.

Afraid it wasn’t enough, she painfully added, "There’s an ice cream hidden in the fridge, that’s yours too."

Ji Zhangzhuo pretentiously thought about it, "Hmm... that’s a bit insufficient?"

Tuanzi took a deep breath, offering more, "Then, then, three more candies, how about that?"

She looked at Ji Zhangzhuo with pleading eyes, "Miaomiao’s stash is running low, boohoo."

Ji Zhangzhuo decided to stop while he was ahead. Before, he might have kept pressing his luck. But recently, he’s been caught by the eldest senior brother and third junior brother several times, caution dictated he... looked up only to see someone crouching behind the railing on the second floor, staring at him. He gasped.

Even if in a child’s form, when the Demon Sect Leader showed no expression, those black eyes remained so deep that one dared not look directly into them.

Estimating the distance between them, and Ning Jixiu’s current strength, Ji Zhangzhuo’s heartbeat gradually returned to normal.

He waved with a smiling face and continued coaxing his junior sister.

Meanwhile, he heard the voice of his eighth junior brother.

"Third senior brother, he’s lying."

Ji Zhangzhuo jumped up in fright, staring wide-eyed towards the staircase.

The little boy was tattling to the descending Tantai Yi, while giving a triumphant glance toward him.

"Is your power gradually recovering?"

In the past, at this distance, Ning Jixiu couldn’t hear anything.

Ning Jixiu snorted lightly, neither too heavy nor too light. Although he was annoyed by the meals Zhen Haowei made that embarrassed him, he reluctantly admitted they were indeed useful. He could feel his power recovering, and soon his body would start recovering too.

Once he recovered, hum, these guys better watch out!

Meanwhile, Tuanzi, who was worrying over her ice cream, quickly caught onto the key point.

"Lying?"

She widened her eyes, "Second senior brother, what did you lie to Miaomiao about?"

With her quick wit, she figured it out, "You don’t even know why seventh senior brother traveled!"

The young man with the baby face shifted his eyes guiltily, ready to sneak away.

"Liar, take this!"

Too late, Tuanzi put down the pastry box, leaped onto his back, tugging at his short braid.

"Ow, ow, ow!"

This time Tuanzi was determined not to let him go.

Ning Jixiu folded his arms, standing aside to enjoy the show, "Serves you right!"

He had heard Tantai Yi’s Inner Strength was quite unique, so he urged, "Third senior brother, freeze him!"

Ji Zhangzhuo darted around the room, trying to shake Tuanzi off, protesting loudly at the suggestion, "Third junior brother, you need to think this through. If you freeze me, my junior sister gets frozen too. In this cold weather, she might catch a cold!"

Before the words were out, Tuanzi nimbly hopped off and ran in the opposite direction.

At the same time, a white-haired, golden-eyed man subtly raised his hand, and someone got frozen.

Tuanzi, with her hands in her pockets, walked back proudly, circling Ji Zhangzhuo.

"Hmm, second senior brother, this is the fate of a liar."

Ning Jixiu agreed, feeling quite smug, as he paced around Ji Zhangzhuo, "You’re not all that special, if your Qinggong were better, you might’ve dodged it."
