Upon hearing this, Ye Lingfeng and Xi Mo nearly spat out their drinks.
They glanced at Zhouzhou's short legs and were left speechless.
She should try to reach 1.7 ters tall first before talking about seven ters! What kind of dream is she having?
Even though she was their own daughter and niece, they couldn't just blindly agree with her.
If she ever managed to grow to three ters, they'd call her "Dad"!
Unaware of the shock her words caused her father and uncle, Zhouzhou happily continued playing with Goldbar after speaking.
It wasn't until the plane was about to take off that Ye Lingfeng picked up his chubby little daughter, placed her in her seat, and buckled her seatbelt.
At that mont, Zhouzhou instantly quieted down. She rested her little head on Ye Lingfeng's arm and fell asleep within a second.
Listening to her soft snores, Ye Lingfeng sighed in relief.
Sotis, he didn't know how to respond to the things his chubby daughter said, worried that he'd roll his eyes before coming up with an answer.
Xi Mo thought the sa thing.
They had no idea where Zhouzhou's little brain ca up with so many strange ideas and why she had such boundless confidence.
It was pretty outrageous.
With Zhouzhou asleep, Goldbar, who had been showing off monts ago, also straightened up and obediently coiled itself in the back of the plane, too afraid to get close to them, lest it be turned into snake soup by accident.
After a few hours of flying, the plane slowly landed.
Ye Lingfeng used Zhouzhou's smartwatch to find Wei Feng's contact information and asked him to co to the airport to pick up Goldbar.
Upon learning that Zhouzhou had brought back a Burse python, Wei Feng was intrigued and ca with a cage.
Zhouzhou, half-awake and still groggy, opened her eyes and imdiately jumped into his arms. "Sixth Senior Brother!"
Wei Feng patted her little head and raised an eyebrow when he saw Goldbar obediently crawling into the cage without any prompting.
This was unusually well-behaved.
His gaze fell on a small fist-shaped imprint near Goldbar's weak spot, and he imdiately understood.
Of course it was obedient--who isn't afraid of dying?
Zhouzhou also rembered the incident and scratched her head apologetically. She looked at Goldbar and said, "I'm sorry, Goldbar. I was too rough earlier, but earlier you tried to eat at that big bad guy's request and I had to defend myself."
They weren't friends yet back then.
Hearing this, Wei Feng asked curiously, "Big bad guy?"
"Zhouzhou, where did you just co back from?"
Burse pythons mostly live in Southeast Asia, so had Zhouzhou been over there? What was she doing there?
When Zhouzhou heard this, she quickly covered her mouth, blinking her innocent eyes at him.
Seeing her reaction, Wei Feng thought of that certain mysterious island and imdiately understood, refraining from asking more. He changed the subject back to the Burse python.
Zhouzhou breathed a sigh of relief.
Wei Feng inspected Goldbar's injuries and had a clear idea of what happened. He pinched Zhouzhou's pigtails and said, "Leave it to , I'll take care of it."
"Great, great," Zhouzhou nodded eagerly, wrapping her arms around his neck and whining cutely.
"Sixth Senior Brother, I've missed you so much."
Wei Feng's eyes softened instantly. "You can co visit anyti. I'll be staying in Jing City for a while."
Hearing this, Zhouzhou shook her head. "I can't, Sixth Senior Brother. I have things to do. I won't be in Jing City."
"Huh?" Wei Feng was taken aback. "Then where are you going?"
Zhouzhou shook her head. "I can't tell you."
In truth, she didn't know where she was going either.
But if she admitted that, wouldn't it make her look dumb?
She had a brain worth billions--how could it be dumb?
She was only keeping quiet for everyone's benefit!
Proud of herself, she shook her head slightly, almost hearing the sound of gold coins clinking in her mind.
Was this just any ordinary head? No, it was worth a hundred billion!
The little girl giggled out of nowhere, sounding a bit silly.
Wei Feng glanced at her oddly, unable to keep a straight face.
Luckily, knowing that Ye Lingfeng and Xi Mo were around, and Zhouzhou wouldn't be in any danger, he felt reassured.
"Alright then, once you're done, co find again."
"Okay, okay!" Zhouzhou nodded vigorously.
After sending Wei Feng and Goldbar off, Zhouzhou was carried by Xi Mo onto another plane.
This ti, Ye Lingfeng didn't co along.
They were heading in different directions.
As Ye Lingfeng looked at Xi Mo, he reminded him, "Take care of Zhouzhou."
Xi Mo nodded slightly. "Don't worry."
Even if sothing happened to him, he would never let anything happen to Zhouzhou.
Recalling how much Xi Mo cared for Zhouzhou, Ye Lingfeng realized his words were sowhat unnecessary.
After a long exhale, he only said a brief goodbye to Zhouzhou before leaving.
He had never wanted Zhouzhou to co along in the first place, fearing that if she stayed any longer, he'd just take her away with him.
Watching his figure disappear, Zhouzhou's eyes suddenly reddened.
Seeing this, Xi Mo sighed softly and patted her head. "Train hard. If you et the standards early, you can co back sooner."
Was that really how it worked?
"What if I don't et the standards?" Zhouzhou asked, tilting her little face. "Does that an I can never co back?"
Of course not.
But Xi Mo teased the little girl, "If that's the case, will you still co with ?"
"Yes, I will!" Zhouzhou said without hesitation, diving into his arms. She wiggled her chubby little feet and added, "As long as Uncle let have my full everyday!"
Xi Mo couldn't help but laugh. "So, as long as soone feeds you, you'll go with them?"
Zhouzhou nodded seriously, adding, "No worries! In just a few days, I can eat them poor, and then I'll co back to you guys."
Other than them, no one could handle her money-draining ways.
Not even Ancestral Master.
Speaking of which, Zhouzhou suddenly rembered sothing. She pulled out Ancestral Master's statue from her bag.
Just as she was about to speak, she noticed that the statue's right foot had turned gray again, and she found it strange.
"Huh? Ancestral Master, why has the golden glow on your foot disappeared again?"
"You've got so nerve to ask," ca Ancestral Master's voice from within the statue, followed by an eye roll.
Maybe it was just a trick of the light, but the statue's expression seed rather mournful.
Ancestral Master lay inside the statue, looking utterly dejected.
He was done.
The golden glow from one of his feet was gone again!
All because he had shielded them from that one blow.
"I don't care," he said, sitting up with a spring-like motion. "I saved your lives. You all owe big ti!"
If it weren't for him, they'd all be queuing up for reincarnation by now!
Zhouzhou was amazed by the power of that explosion.
Thinking about it, she realized that it had blown up an entire building. If it had been an ordinary person, they'd have reincarnated eight hundred tis by now.
Feeling guilty as she looked at his gray foot, Zhouzhou apologized, "Sorry, Ancestral Master. Don't worry, I'll work hard and restore your golden glow."
Ancestral Master snorted, but his tone softened.
"Actually," he said, crossing one unscathed, golden foot over the other to soothe his broken heart, "you don't have to work for it. We've got a solution right here."
He nodded toward Xi Mo.
Following his gaze, Zhouzhou puffed out her cheeks and placed her hands on her hips, declaring firmly, "No way!"
