Chapter 154: Chapter 154: A Bunch of Living Ancestors
Gu Zhao took a small syringe from Ye Kui’s person.
Seeing the small syringe, Gu Xulin let out a sigh of relief.
’Thank goodness,’ he thought, patting his chest.
’Good, my sister isn’t a pervert.’
But the next second, his expression turned cold as he looked at Ye Kui and Ye Zexi.
"You Ye Family members are really rotten to the core, whether you’re raised at home or not."
Gu Zhao moved away from Ye Kui, holding the small syringe. "Speak. What were you going to do with my blood?"
"And what did you use to make the animals go crazy?"
Gu Zhao’s gaze grew icy. She grabbed Ye Kui’s chin.
"If you don’t talk, I don’t mind making you spend the rest of your life with rats and cockroaches."
Ye Kui wasn’t scared at all. Instead, she maintained her innocent expression. "Why did you take out a syringe and say it’s mine? I’ve never seen this before."
"Not talking?" Gu Zhao was getting annoyed too. ’Why does everyone keep making trouble for a slacker like me?’
’Do I have to go through eighty-one trials just to fetch some scriptures or something?’
The others stared blankly the moment they saw the syringe. ’So... we might have actually been used?’
Shi Wu sighed. He knew his little partner Gu Zhao wasn’t that kind of person. She was a clever and quirky kid; even when she attacked them, she hadn’t used much force.
’How bad can a five-year-old who doesn’t cry or throw tantrums be?’
’And one who loves to slack off, at that.’
[So... is Ye Kui really the bad guy? But why?! She and Gu Zhao have no beef with each other!]
[I knew Gu Zhao wasn’t in the wrong!! Big King, charge forward bravely! The Monkey Soldiers will follow you forever! Note: If anything happens, Big King is on her own.]
[I don’t really get it... Aren’t people supposed to be inherently good? I really think Ye Kui is a good kid. There must be a misunderstanding. Maybe Gu Zhao really did plant it on her. Let’s all be rational here.]
[To the commenter above: I don’t know if Ye Kui is good or not, but I can see that you’re inherently evil. Still spreading rumors about a child at a time like this.]
Gu Zhao handed the syringe to Gu Xulin and climbed onto One-Eye’s back.
One-Eye immediately pulled its head out of the snow.
"Brother, you drag her along. We’re going somewhere."
Gu Zhao beckoned a penguin over and whispered something in its ear. The penguin immediately started leading the way.
Gu Xulin raised an eyebrow but obediently picked the girl up and followed.
Zhong Mingrui, Song Yi, Jiang Yuchen, and Gu Jiao looked at Gu Zhao, then back at the tents.
’Are we coming back?’
’Forget it! Pack it up!’ The four of them immediately and skillfully started packing.
Song Zhe and Zhong Siqi also expertly began dismantling the tents.
In a short while, there was nothing left on the snowy ground.
The group caught up with Gu Zhao.
...
「The Gu Family Estate.」
Jiang Xiubai suddenly remembered who Ye Kui was!
His face filled with disgust. ’What in the world are they trying to do?!’
He looked at Gu Huaiyan and Gu Yunqi. "Ye Kui is a test subject from the animal gene experiments!"
"Zhaozhao is in danger."
Gu Yunqi and Gu Huaiyan didn’t need him to tell them; they already knew.
The moment they saw Gu Zhao pull the small syringe from Ye Kui on the livestream, both of their expressions had turned terribly dark.
"They’ve made a move against Gu Zhao again," Gu Yunqi said grimly, his eyes cold and sharp.
"The evidence of the Ye Family kidnapping children has been collected." Just then, a voice sounded from within the room.
Hearing the voice, Jiang Xiubai instantly became alert. He looked all around but couldn’t see anyone.
"But Ye Jincheng’s collaboration with that side is too deep. It will take some time for us to completely deal with the Ye Family," the voice continued.
Jiang Xiubai followed the sound with his eyes, only to see a wall with no one there.
"The Ye Family can wait. The priority now is to protect Gu Zhao and, while we’re at it, find her parents." Gu Yunqi gripped the pen in his hand tightly.
He frowned, then looked at the wall. "Can you come out and talk? Stop hiding in your mouse hole."
"And no more digging holes in the old estate!"
The wall went silent.
Gu Yunqi rubbed his temples. ’Dealing with this bunch of difficult masters is such a headache.’
Gu Huaiyan’s mind was completely filled with thoughts of Gu Zhao. He stared at the livestream, his eyes full of worry.
"Second Brother, maybe I should go join the show to be with our sister... Little Four is still young, too. He doesn’t know how to take care of her."
Gu Yunqi snorted coldly. "No. You’re staying in the Gu Family home and dealing with the Ye Family’s affairs with Eldest Brother."
"Even if we can’t take him down completely, we can’t let them keep running wild."
Gu Yunqi was so irritated! ’This bunch... always trying to run off!’
’Is the Gu Family his responsibility alone?’
"Uncle Fu! Is the takeout good?" he demanded, looking at Uncle Fu, who was sneaking in with a takeout container.
"How old are you?! Can’t you eat something healthier and less oily?! Did we hire a chef just for show?"
Uncle Fu felt wronged. Uncle Fu nodded. Uncle Fu decided to order it in the middle of the night next time.
「Meanwhile.」
Guided by the penguin, Gu Zhao walked toward the penguin colony.
The moment the other penguins saw Gu Zhao, they all swarmed around her.
"Wow! Such a sweet-smelling baby! Why don’t you stay and be my baby?"
"Be my baby! I’m great at catching fish!"
"This baby is so cute! She should be mine! She’s as cute as me!"
Little heads poked out from under their feet, their faces filled with confusion.
’Aren’t you going to raise us anymore?’
Surrounded by a flock of penguins, Gu Zhao wasn’t moved. She was holding her breath, and her face was already red.
’Nobody told her the entire penguin habitat is covered in poop!’
’She thought it would just be a little bit!’
It wasn’t just Gu Zhao; the people who followed had already started to gag.
Even Ye Kui, who had been looking innocent just moments ago, now had a pained expression.
Gu Zhao struggled to squeeze her way out of the crowd and ran off, finding a clean, odorless spot to take a deep breath.
The penguins looked confused and started to follow her.
"What are you doing?!" One-Eye said, looking disgusted.
"Xiangxiang belongs to everyone! You can’t block us!" one penguin retorted.
A few penguins seemed to understand something and immediately took their chicks to roll around and bathe in a clean patch of snow.
"You stink! You’ll bother the baby!" One-Eye grumbled.
In an instant, all the penguins ran toward the clean snow.
Soon, the clean patch of snow was dirty too.
A group of now-clean penguins gathered around Gu Zhao again, doing their best to nuzzle against her.
Gu Zhao patted each of them in turn.
"Do me a favor," Gu Zhao said with a beaming smile.
"AAAAAH, the baby is so cute when she smiles! I’ve been hit!" A penguin fell over, and the penguin chick underneath it got sat on.
"Baby, just say the word!!"
Gu Zhao looked at Ye Kui and grinned happily. "Would you mind keeping her in your habitat for a while?"
"Not at all, not at all! If the baby likes it, she can stay here forever!!"
Hearing this, Ye Kui’s face filled with disbelief.
’But I’m an injured person!’
As Gu Zhao’s "veteran soldiers," Zhong Mingrui and Song Yi were already on it. They expertly took a rope from their bags and started to wrap it around Ye Kui.
"Don’t touch me! Gu Zhao! Why are you doing this to me? WAHHH!" Ye Kui struggled to control her emotions.
Gu Zhao, afraid that Ye Kui’s surprising strength would hurt Zhong Mingrui, stepped in to do it herself.
She had her tied up in a few quick moves.
A certain risqué knot-tying style had made its reappearance.
Gu Xulin: ???
’Who taught the kid that?!’
Feng Jiexu, who had started watching the livestream after leaving the Arctic, saw Gu Xulin’s expression and nodded with satisfaction. ’Hurry up and discipline your sister!’
"Big King! You tied that so beautifully! Can I learn?" Zhong Mingrui asked, staring at the rope work with a look of pure admiration.
’Big King is truly our Big King! Even her rope tying is so artistic!’
"I want to learn too!" Song Yi immediately jumped on the bandwagon.
Gu Jiao was genuinely impressed. She had seen this kind of knot-tying on her older sister’s phone!
"Big King, my sister knows how to do this too! I want to learn! I want to be even better at it than her!"
Gu Zhen’s pupils dilated, and he immediately moved to cover her mouth.
Jiang Yuchen had a complicated expression, his brow deeply furrowed. ’They’re all learning it. Should I learn it too?’
’To tie up my brother?’
’On second thought, that might not be a bad idea. My brother is always going to dangerous places. Tying him up could work.’
"I’ll learn too."
The older brothers: ?!!
They shot a resentful glare at Gu Xulin. ’Get your sister under control!!’
Gu Xulin’s face was dark as well.
"Gu Xiao Zhao! I’ve had it with you!! This time, you’re definitely getting a spanking!"
