Seeing her, the group was instantly enraged. Lu Mingya's face twisted a few tis, and she directly raised her hand to slap Zhouzhou's face.
"Where did this brat co from? I'll make you stop laughing!"
There was even a gust of wind accompanying her slap, and one could imagine how painful it would be if it landed--if not causing bleeding, it would surely leave a bruise.
Ye Lingfeng's face darkened imdiately. He stepped forward, raised his long leg, and kicked her, sending her flying straight into the wall, where she got stuck, unable to pull herself out.
Zhouzhou's eyes lit up instantly. "I can do that too!"
"Watch kick!"
With that, she shot off like a small cannonball, kicking Lu Mingcheng away. Then, with a spin, she sent Lu Minghan flying to reunite with them.
Standing on one leg, the other stretched out in midair, she slowly retracted her leg and coolly patted her shoe. Tilting her head, her bright eyes eagerly looked at Ye Lingfeng, awaiting praise.
Ye Lingfeng's lips curved slightly as he raised his hand to pat the little chubby girl's head and complinted, "Very impressive."
Of course!
After all, it's her. Though her legs were short, they were powerful! Not inferior at all to his long legs!
Poor Lu Minghan, whose arm was already broken, now had his leg broken too.
But Zhouzhou didn't pity him at all. If he hadn't bullied the good uncle and locked him in the small dark room, he wouldn't have developed a second personality. And if they hadn't hard Aunt Ruoruo and their child, Lu Mingyuan wouldn't have needed to use the Earth Qi Formation.
Lu Mingyuan had borne the consequences of his actions, and so must Lu Mingcheng and the others.
As Zhouzhou was reflecting, small lights suddenly began to fall on her body. She paused, then quickly grabbed Ye Lingfeng with one hand and Xi Mo with the other, exclaiming excitedly, "rit is coming!"
It was the rits Rain again!
The Ancestral Master imdiately sprang out, spreading his arms and legs in excitent, almost howling in celebration.
The people of Jiang City also felt a sudden warmth on their bodies. Puzzled, they looked up, but seeing nothing, they continued on their way, unaware of the phenonon.
"The rits have returned!" Zhouzhou looked at the Ancestral Master's large, golden legs with surprise and joy. She was no longer "limping Zhou!"
A smile appeared on the Ancestral Master's face as well. "Not bad, not bad."
He glanced outside, noticing that the fortune of Jiang City had begun to recover little by little, and finally, he sighed in relief. He had worried that it would take much longer, but it seed that the Heavenly Dao still had so rcy.
Zhouzhou noticed too, her mouth stretching into a wide grin. She waved her chubby little hand with glee, saying, "I've got so too!"
Her ten fingernails shone golden, like they had been painted with nail polish. The little girl was overjoyed.
Originally, she had made a deal with Heavenly Thunder that all the rits she earned before turning eighteen would be handed over, but unexpectedly, it left her with so this ti.
"Heavenly Thunder Uncle, you're the best!" Zhouzhou said as she bounced around happily.
Heavenly Thunder glanced at her and crossed its bolts in the sky.
Seeing this, Zhouzhou panicked and quickly covered her Fortune Hair.
Only then did Heavenly Thunder snort, dissipating into the distance.
She had praised it, but it didn't seem too happy about that. Was it always this fierce? Who ever heard of a "good thunder" chasing a little girl around to strike?
It certainly wasn't a "good" thunder.
Zhouzhou pouted, grumbling about how strange Heavenly Thunder Uncle's temper was. Huffing, she decided to ignore it.
Looking at her newly "manicured" nails, Zhouzhou's mood lifted again. She rembered sothing and looked up at Ye Lingfeng and Xi Mo, asking, "Daddy, Uncle, does this an we can go back now?"
She was eager to return to her training!
Seeing the little girl's excited gaze, Xi Mo raised an eyebrow, a hint of amusent flashing in his eyes. "Yes, we'll head back tonight. There's still an afternoon left. Shall we take a stroll around Jiang City?"
Of course!
Zhouzhou had no objections, and neither did Ye Lingfeng.
And so, father and daughter held hands, wandering through Jiang City's food market, filling their bellies until they were round.
Xi Mo trailed behind them, his mouth twitching. He should never have expected any less from this duo--a pair of gluttons.
Zhouzhou didn't care. Having soone else foot the bill for once, and not needing to spend her own money, she naturally had to eat as much as possible!
But she wasn't just eating for herself. She quietly asked Ye Lingfeng, "Daddy, if we buy stuff, will Uncle Commander cover the costs too?"
"Yes," Ye Lingfeng answered, casually making the decision for Commander.
Upon hearing this, Zhouzhou's eyes brightened. She imdiately ordered a bunch of food for takeout.
Seeing this, Ye Lingfeng quickly guessed her intentions and, sowhat sourly, remarked, "But you'll be in training after we return, and you won't be able to go ho. By the ti you do, this food will all have gone bad."
Oh.
Zhouzhou paused, suddenly rembering that too. She frowned, "Then what should I do?"
She had wanted to bring so goodies for her grandparents and dad.
Just then, the shopkeeper smiled and said, "No worries. We have vacuum-packed options here. They can be kept for months without any issue."
Surprised, Zhouzhou eagerly nodded. "I'll take those!"
Ye Lingfeng's face darkened further, but he didn't say anything more. After all, it wouldn't change anything.
After purchasing a load of local specialties, Zhouzhou happily headed to the airport.
Once on the plane, Xi Mo called Commander to report. As the call connected, Commander imdiately noticed the overhead compartnt was open, with Ye Lingfeng stuffing things into it.
A sense of foreboding washed over him, and he said, his tone disbelieving, "Zhouzhou, did you empty the entire Jiang City?"
Zhouzhou blinked her big eyes and innocently replied, "No, I just emptied one shop."
"Just one?!"
Commander pinched the bridge of his nose, speechless.
Never again, he vowed to himself, would he send this little chubby girl on a mission. She was impossible to afford!
Better to leave her to the Fourth Bureau to handle.
Watching Commander's expression, Xi Mo couldn't help but smile. He cleared his throat and proceeded to explain the mission details.
After hearing everything, Commander suddenly felt it was worth the trouble. The food didn't cost much, and the mission was a great success. Nodding in approval, he looked at Zhouzhou with newfound admiration and said, "Good job, Zhouzhou. Tell what you want to eat, and I'll have the chef prepare it for you."
Zhouzhou didn't hold back, rattling off a long list of dishes.
Commander nodded and then called the kitchen staff, telling them, "Prepare a whole table of food, just make sure there's plenty."
Zhouzhou: "..."
Then why did you ask to list anything?
She shot him a look of mild exasperation, but Commander cheerfully ignored her. "Alright, see you when you get back," he said, ending the call and wiping the sweat from his brow.
Whew. There was no way anyone could rember that long list of dishes. As long as she's fed, that's all that matters.
Ye Lingfeng was also amused by the outco, finding it completely unsurprising.
After thinking about it for a mont, Zhouzhou shrugged it off, her short legs swinging contentedly.
However, she didn't get to eat that al.
By the ti they returned, Zhouzhou had already fallen asleep, drooling.
Ye Lingfeng gently placed her on the bed.
In the middle of the night, Zhouzhou woke up with her stomach growling. Rubbing her eyes, she groggily wandered toward the kitchen.
Suddenly, a dark shadow flashed before her eyes, and she imdiately snapped awake, sternly shouting, "Who's there?"
