After Descending the Mountain, Seven Big Brothers Spoil Me-Chapter 1229: How Lonely It Is to Be Invincible

His gaze was fierce.

Even though he usually acted careless and sometimes even seemed to dislike Zhouzhou, she was still his bottom line.

He would not allow anyone to harm her!

Startled by his expression, the Ancestral Master instinctively closed his mouth.

After a few seconds, he realized something was off. Why was he so nervous? Zhouzhou was fine, after all. She had been said to live a long life, didn't she?

Plus, he had forgotten that she also had beast-controlling abilities.

He had wanted to say that to Ye Lingfeng earlier, but when he saw his expression, he decided not to.

Let him worry for now.

And about threatening to smash his Taoist temple—didn't he fear divine retribution for speaking such blasphemy?

The Ancestral Master sighed. Now he truly wanted to go back, but not because he was afraid—he was just afraid of Ye Lingfeng.

His emotions were so unstable and unpredictable. Just a moment ago, he was scolding Zhouzhou for being biased, and now, he was acting protective of her.

He didn't want to be around him!

But, they were trapped, and even if they didn't want to, they had no choice but to stay.

Augusta looked at Zhouzhou, laughing.

"Ha-ha, if I die, dragging you down with me isn't such a bad deal."

Zhouzhou sighed. "You're really forgetful, aren't you?"

"I've said it so many times—I'll live a long and healthy life."

Saying this, Zhouzhou casually plucked a leaf from the tree, held it between her lips, and slowly blew into it. Melodious notes followed.

Augusta looked at her with a cold sneer. How could she be in the mood to play with a leaf at a time like this? She was truly courting death.

But the next moment, his eyes widened.

He saw the animals he had summoned retreating in an orderly fashion.

How could this happen?

His eyes turned bloodshot, desperate. No, it couldn't be!

He wasn't giving up easily—he let out another strange sound from his mouth.

However, Zhouzhou seemed to have been prepared. Without waiting for him to finish his chant, she changed the tone of the leaf's sound. fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cøm

The rhythm sped up drastically.

The animals on the ground immediately became restless, charging towards Augusta.

One snake even slithered straight into Augusta's mouth.

Augusta screamed in terror as he yanked the snake out.

But in its panic, the snake bit him, and Augusta felt the darkness creeping into his vision, his movements slowing down. At that moment, he could no longer even speak.

Blood spilled from his lips, and even though the venom paralyzed his nerves, the excruciating pain still persisted.

He stared at Zhouzhou, his lips moving soundlessly. "Why...?"

How had she done it?

He had grown up with animals, and his beast-controlling ability had saved him countless times. This was his trump card.

He didn't know how much hardship he had gone through to master this skill.

But why had this young girl, still a child, been able to disrupt all his plans with just a leaf?

Why?

At that moment, he suddenly remembered a saying from Hua Country, "When you are born with wisdom, why give birth to foolishness?"

If Zhouzhou had known his thoughts, she would've spat at him.

Such trash, daring to compare himself to Zhuge Liang?

What goes around, comes around.

He had done enough bad things, and now his retribution had arrived.

And that retribution was her.

Looking at the bloodied mess of his limbs, Zhouzhou's face showed a look of disgust as she slowed the tune, making the animals retreat.

Augusta's breath grew shallow, and he clung to the last of his life, still staring in the direction of Zhouzhou.

She smiled at him. "Sorry, I guess I'm just talented."

She lifted her chin proudly.

Even though Augusta couldn't see her, he could imagine that smug expression. The blood flowing from his mouth intensified.

Zhouzhou, holding Jinbao, looked down at him.

She had said it before: no matter how tall you are, you must bow before her!

She would never look up at these bad guys, especially the ones with long legs.

Zhouzhou, not satisfied, kicked him lightly. "This is what you get for bullying my dad. Let's see if you dare do that again!"

"My dad is the greatest man in the world. If you hadn't run fast, you wouldn't have survived until today."

"With your skills, you dared to say you wouldn't let me off? I thought you were impressive, but this? You're nothing."

Hearing this, Jinbao glanced at her wounds and couldn't help but shake its head.

She was being stubborn even when she was beaten so badly.

Augusta wasn't as good as her, but he was still someone who had held his own against Ye Lingfeng for years, so he wasn't to be underestimated.

Zhouzhou didn't care about the process; it was all about the result.

She won. Whether the process was tough or easy, it didn't matter. She had the final say!

Seeing Augusta still glaring at her, Zhouzhou's eyes sparkled. "You're still somewhat useful, though. I heard you're pretty valuable. Oh, thank you so much. I'm running low on money, and here you are."

"Good thing the animals listened and didn't eat you all up. Otherwise, how could I even recognize you and get the reward?"

Suddenly, a memory flashed through Augusta's mind.

He thought of someone who loved to trade heads for money.

She was rumored to have slaughtered the top 100 of the Dark Web, amassing her vast fortune from just one head.

Her name... Fugui!

His eyes widened.

He knew Ye Lingfeng's daughter was formidable, but he never expected her to be this terrifying!

Fugui had become famous when she was so young.

Looking at Zhouzhou's expression, she blinked, seemingly understanding something. She smiled and said, "You were thinking I'm Fugui, right?"

"Yes, that's right. So dying at my hands is really worth it for you. Don't worry, I'll spend your reward money wisely. It's all for my dad. I'll buy him clothes, food, and fun stuff. I'll take care of him and make sure he's happy and healthy every day."

Hearing this, Augusta's eyes nearly popped out.

He gritted his teeth, full of hatred.

Just as Zhouzhou was about to continue, Augusta suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, and his head fell, lifeless.

Until his last breath, his eyes remained wide open, unable to rest.

Zhouzhou blinked, frowning slightly, her expression full of disdain.

"Useless..."
