Kung Fu Baby with 17 Doting Brothers-Chapter 691: Eighth Senior Brother: Senior Sister, Protect Me
The three-year-old Ning Jixiu was already adorably cute, with a round little face and big eyes. Now, he was pouting and crying pitifully, tears the size of beans streaming down his cheeks, making him even more endearingly pitiful.
In less than a minute, the tip of his little nose turned a bright red.
"Xiuxiu wants Master!"
Seeing him crying so heartbreakingly, Tuanzi willingly walked over, squatted down, and hugged him.
"Master isn’t here right now, but Senior Sister can hug you too."
[Ancient Martial System: The effects of the food have worn off, he will remember what happened just now]
This was a reminder to Tuanzi, that when Ning Jixiu became clear-headed, he would remember Tuanzi taking advantage and coaxing him to call her Senior Sister.
[Miaomiao: We’ll talk about it when he remembers, not taking advantage of this opportunity would be such a waste!]
Hearing the soft and adorable junior brother call her Senior Sister, such a wonderful thing, of course, she had to enjoy it a bit more! The little Tuanzi also wanted to show off for once.
After eating so much food, Ning Jixiu didn’t remember things from before. Now, he was just crying and shouting to find his Master. The food aroused a fear within him, making him afraid of being lonely and weak, wanting to seek and rely on the one closest to him.
And the person he wanted to seek and rely on, was his Master.
However... the little boy, with tear-filled eyes, looked at the little girl in front of him. She, too, had a round face and big eyes, her eyes filled with sincerity and worry for him.
After turning back into a child, his mind was more delicate and sensitive, and he could sense the care from the little girl in front of him.
That kind of care slightly dispelled his fear.
The little boy tugged at Tuanzi’s sleeve, lightly calling out in a tearful baby voice, "Senior Sister, Xiuxiu is scared."
"Bang!"
Inside Tuanzi’s heart, it was as if countless fireworks had been lit, going off incessantly.
Her eyes, darker and more radiant than the stars, were firmly fixed on Ning Jixiu.
The little boy shrank his neck, "Senior Sister."
"Yes!"
Tuanzi happily responded.
Hehehe, from now on she also has a junior brother. She’s no longer the youngest disciple of the Heavenly Cloud Sect. Hehehe!
[Ancient Martial System: Your smile is too exaggerated, tone it down]
Tuanzi imitated Gu Che, coughing a few times in pretend composure, but her eyes still shone brightly, staring at Ning Jixiu, scaring the little boy into sobbing with his head down.
She lovingly rubbed the little guy’s head, "Don’t worry, Xiuxiu, Miaomiao—cough, cough—Senior Sister will protect you from now on, and won’t let anyone bully you!"
The little boy hid in her embrace, responding with a sound.
Zhen Haowei, who witnessed everything: "..." He felt like he was losing more than he gained.
He had been half-trying to help the eighth junior brother and half-preparing to discipline him, but it ended up helping the sister and brother bond closer. Regret!
While this seemingly simple-minded cook was lost in his frustration, the crying little boy suddenly looked up, fearfully glancing at him.
Zhen Haowei had a bad premonition.
"Senior Sister, Senior Sister," Ning Jixiu fearfully tugged at Tuanzi’s sleeve, "He looks so scary, can you help Xiuxiu drive him away?"
Zhen Haowei: "!" The eighth junior brother was so cunning even as a child!
Tuanzi found herself caught in a dilemma.
She wanted to care for Ning Jixiu, who called her Senior Sister, but she also didn’t want to drive away Zhen Haowei, who hadn’t done anything wrong.
Soon, as clever as she was, she thought of a good idea.
"Seventh Senior Brother, you’ve worked hard, Miaomiao will take him out to play."
She gave herself a mental pat on the back for her cleverness.
Gazing down at Ning Jixiu, Tuanzi seriously suggested, "There are lots of little friends in the neighborhood, shall we go find them to play?"
Ning Jixiu didn’t really want to meet strangers, but the big sister before him looked trustworthy... He hesitated for a moment, then nodded.
Tuanzi joyfully took hold of his little chubby hand and went out together.
Once they were gone, Zhen Haowei revealed a gloomy expression.
"You calculated everything but forgot the eighth junior brother’s personality as a child, didn’t you?"
A hand landed on Zhen Haowei’s shoulder.
Ji Zhangzhuo leaned over, grinning, "Come on, tell me, what were you thinking about when making that food?"
"Haven’t you already guessed?"
Zhen Haowei pouted; this move had always worked, yet now it had lost to a three-year-old kid.
"Second Senior Brother, spit it out."
Zhen Haowei had long since noticed Ji Zhangzhuo had been watching the show secretly, but he hadn’t exposed him. Sharing the joy is better than enjoying it alone. If he had succeeded in his plan against Ning Jixiu, having another person to watch the show wouldn’t have mattered. But since he had failed, it only felt like he was being laughed at, so he couldn’t help but vent some anger at Ji Zhangzhuo.
"Ah, I just wanted to ask you for a favor."
Ji Zhangzhuo’s smile was as harmless as could be, but his words carried a hidden malice.
"This cultivation technique of the eighth junior brother flares up a few times a year. After much thought, I believe his childhood self is much more adorable than when grown up. I want to record a few memories, and when he’s restored, I could even send him these videos."
What his words meant was to take advantage of the Demon Sect Leader turned little tiger cub, and tease him hard. Otherwise, there would be no chance when he was back to normal.
Zhen Haowei’s expression became meaningful, and he gave Ji Zhangzhuo a deep look, "You really are our good senior brother."
The baby-faced young man replied straightforward, "Junior brothers and sisters are meant to be teased, aren’t they?"
Zhen Haowei: "You’re really shameless."
"Thank you for the compliment."
Zhen Haowei couldn’t deal with this thick-skinned senior brother, and selfishly, he wanted to attempt another scheme, so they quickly came to an agreement and devised a few plans.
"Achoo!"
Holding onto Tuanzi’s hand obediently, Ning Jixiu had just taken a few steps before he started sneezing continuously.
"Could it be a cold? We’d better go back."
Tuanzi worriedly brought the little boy back, encountering Gu Chi with a drawing board on the way.
Seeing the one big and one little pair, the handsome man revealed a gentle smile, "Are you heading home?"
Upon confirmation, he accompanied the two back home, his eyes lingering on the little boy for a few rounds.
Ning Jixiu, scared, clung to Tuanzi.
He always felt this big brother was like a big fox.
"Xiuxiu doesn’t like foxes."
He mumbled softly with his head down, "Foxes are too scary."
[Ancient Martial System: ...]
It couldn’t tell anymore if the food’s side effects caused Ning Jixiu to fully revert to his childhood personality, or intended to turn him into a naive darling when he wasn’t like this as a child.
If it was simply to revert Ning Jixiu into his childhood self, then that’s too... never judge a book by its cover.
The system even wanted to record a video for memory’s sake. If the eighth brother ever targeted the host, it could send him these videos.
"Miaomiao," Gu Chi thought for a moment and jokingly said, "Is he also your senior brother?"
Tuanzi instinctively nodded, then quickly recalled that eighth senior brother was merely a three-year-old now, and she couldn’t possibly explain how a senior brother could be younger than her.
"Uh, no, he’s actually..."
"Xiuxiu is a junior brother!"
The little boy lifted his head, earnestly and proudly declaring, "Xiuxiu is the cutest junior brother to Senior Sister!"
Tuanzi was smitten, hugging Ning Jixiu’s little head, "Aah, you’re the cutest junior brother to Miaomiao! You’re the cutest in the whole world!"
[Ancient Martial System: ...] displeased. 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢
Gu Chi’s smile froze.
