Kung Fu Baby with 17 Doting Brothers-Chapter 677: Deeds Offset Each Other

Gu Zhuo’s brother was feeling utterly hopeless.

In their entire lives, they’d never eaten such awful food.

As if the terrible taste wasn’t enough, the flavor lingered in their mouths and stomachs, severely affecting their taste buds, and even rinsing with plain water didn’t help.

After all, even plain water tasted bad now, just thinking about it made them... "Ugh!"

Gu Li dry retched, meeting his sister’s worried gaze, he struggled to sit up straight, "I’m fine."

Tuanzi scrutinized his shaky body, "But you don’t look fine at all."

Gu Li kept a straight face; he didn’t want his sister to think less of him.

Beside him, Gu Zhuo smiled wryly, "This must be what they call a beautiful trap."

The dishes looked so beautiful, yet tasted so awful.

Having experienced the beautiful trap herself, Tuanzi had nothing to say.

She originally planned to console herself with a cake, but if she enjoyed her cake while her two brothers could only taste something awful, that would be too pitiful. So she nestled between them to sit.

"Let’s watch some cartoons together, watching TV can take your mind off it, so it won’t feel so bad."

The two didn’t object.

Tuanzi turned on the TV.

After a while, she noticed something off, "Why is it just the two of you, where’s the seventh senior brother?"

Gu Li snorted softly. A while ago, he thought this brother was unusually enthusiastic, but now, he thinks this brother has a dark heart. But since he already ate the food, there was nothing more he could say.

Gu Zhuo, being soft-hearted, tended to think positively of people. Instead, he felt some sympathy for Zhen Haowei, being a chef but having such poor cooking skills must feel bad.

"I just saw him leave, maybe he wants some quiet time."

Gu Zhuo tried seeing things from others’ perspectives; if he had put effort into something and it didn’t turn out well, he’d feel down and hope others wouldn’t disturb him too.

Thinking this way, the thoughtful postgrad student didn’t notice Tuanzi’s strange expression.

[Ancient Martial System: Since he dared to encourage the two of them to eat that food, how could he be sad and hide away? He’s probably afraid of being scolded.]

[Miaomiao: Cough cough]

Tuanzi scratched her head for a while, then jumped off the couch and ran to grab some peppermint candies.

"Wait for the taste to go away before eating this."

She consoled the two, "Miaomiao ate those dishes before too, and after a nap, she was fine."

While saying this, she didn’t consider that she only had a bite, while the two ate several plates.

Until evening, when it was time to part ways, the two still looked utterly hopeless.

The strange taste occupied most of their minds, making it impossible to focus on watching cartoons or playing with their sister.

"Go home and sleep,"

Gu Zhuo suggested, "Once you fall asleep, you’ll forget this taste."

Tuanzi couldn’t help but mutter softly, "But you might have scary dreams too."

Like her, in her dreams, she had so many family members and so many meat dishes, but the meat was so hard to eat.

As they reached the courtyard gate, Gu Zhuo suddenly wobbled.

"Ow, I’m so dizzy!"

He took off his glasses, "Is this... huh?"

Realizing he could see clearly even without his glasses, he was stunned.

"Cousin, what’s wrong? Where do you feel unwell?"

Tuanzi anxiously shook his hand.

"No way, am I dreaming?"

Gu Zhuo looked down at his sister, then sideways at his brother, "My nearsightedness seems to have decreased."

He gestured the distance between himself and his brother, "Before, at this distance, without glasses, you’d look like a mosaic to me."

Gu Li: "..." He clenched his fist, reminding himself this was his dear brother. Noticing his sister looking up curiously, he also reminded himself not to act out in front of her.

"It must be an illusion," Gu Li said stiffly, "You didn’t get surgery, how could your vision just suddenly improve..."

He couldn’t finish his sentence because Gu Zhuo patted his shoulder.

"You did... huh?"

He twisted his neck and swung his arm around, "No, this isn’t right. I remember my neck and shoulders have been sore recently, why do they feel fine now?"

Not just that, he also felt full of energy, ideas bursting forth, ready to go back and write stories.

The brothers looked at each other in disbelief.

"Ah, Miaomiao knows why."

Tuanzi squeezed in between them, looking up with a hint of pride, "It’s the effect of the seventh senior brother’s cooking. Even though it’s awful, it has many benefits."

The two brothers were skeptical.

Gu Li muttered, "It’s not a fantasy or sci-fi world, where would such a concept exist?"

Tuanzi wanted to explain but didn’t know where to start, so she closed her mouth tightly.

Seeing this, Zhen Haowei, who had been hiding in the corner, calmly came out.

Earlier, fearing that his sister’s cousins would blame him, he slipped away mid-meal to observe from afar. Now that the food had shown its effects and had somewhat helped the brothers, he felt his merits and demerits balanced, so he dared to come out.

"There are many unsolved mysteries in this world, maybe this is your miracle."

Zhen Haowei deliberately spoke mysteriously, but the brothers didn’t believe him in the slightest.

"It’s probably just a fleeting moment of clarity," Gu Zhuo explained.

Gu Li looked at him speechlessly, "Is that how you use that expression?"

Gu Zhuo: "Then can you explain clearly?"

Gu Li shut his mouth.

The two brothers went home filled with confusion.

Without key information, they didn’t think in a fantasy direction, still thinking that maybe after a night’s sleep, everything would return to normal.

Little did they know, after they left, Tuanzi clutched Zhen Haowei’s hand curiously, "Senior brother, is this the magic of ’Extremes lead to opposite’? Gu Zhuo’s eyes were actually very nearsighted, but now they’re much better, can they be completely cured?"

"I don’t know."

Zhen Haowei picked her up, ready to go inside, "No matter how magical ’Extremes lead to opposite’ is, it requires drawing in spiritual energy between heaven and earth, and this world... you know, the effect definitely won’t be as good as in my world. The dishes might have some effect, but it shouldn’t be too extreme."

Even so, Tuanzi was happy for her cousins.

"Then their meal wasn’t in vain. If you endure hardship, you should get some benefit."

Zhen Haowei gazed at her wistfully.

Tuanzi grinned and massaged his shoulder, "Thank you, seventh senior brother. But I ate too, why didn’t I get any results? Can’t it make me suddenly grow taller?"

Thinking of that magical effect, the little heroine gritted her teeth and looked determined.

"If... if I could grow ten centimeters overnight, I’d eat a table full of awful dishes!"

She hadn’t seen the magical effects of those dishes before, and didn’t think in that direction. But since Gu Zhuo’s nearsighted vision had improved, if she ate them, she should be able to grow taller, right?

She looked at Zhen Haowei half expectantly, half fearfully.

She wanted to eat, yet didn’t, feeling very conflicted.

"That should be impossible, right?"

Zhen Haowei carefully recalled that manual, "There’s no mention of such an effect in ’Extremes lead to opposite’. But it definitely can detoxify."

"Detoxify?" Tuanzi blinked, "Come to think of it, the third senior brother seems to..."

Before she could finish, a sudden breeze blew past her ear.
