Zhou Ziruo said to Yi Wangyou in irritation, “You’re really famous now. Even Senior Brother Bai remembers you. You’re doing nothing but embarrassing me and Master.”
Zhuang Xun squatted on the ground, studying the Qiankun Chicken. Without even looking at Zhou Ziruo, he said, “I, the Little Overlord, will do whatever I want. It’s none of your business.”
“Oh, how impressive, Little Overlord. By the way, does the Little Overlord cry? With such a resounding title, surely not,” Zhou Ziruo said with a half-smile, rolling up her sleeves in a mock-threatening gesture.
Entirely unfazed by Zhou Ziruo’s steady approach, Zhuang Xun continued to study the Qiankun Chicken, speaking without raising his head, “The Little Overlord doesn’t cry. The Little Overlord will go tell on you.”
Zhou Ziruo said in a sweet, gentle voice, “Alright, then how about Senior Sister accompanies you? Let’s let Master see what kind of wonderful things her precious little disciple has been up to.”
Hmph, trying to scare me? Back in the day, when Brother Zhuang didn’t do his homework and the teacher demanded his parents call her that night, he was a man who could eat dinner with his parents without a change in expression and calmly tell them, “There’s a ghost call coming tonight, don’t answer it.”
That’s how a steel heart is forged!
Zhuang Xun said, “I’m going to tell Senior Brother Bai bad things about you. I’ll say whatever it takes to make him hate you.”
“You dare!” Zhou Ziruo threatened. “Senior Brother won’t listen to the nonsense of a naughty child like you. He’ll even give you a beating. When you get beaten, I’ll just stand by and laugh. I won’t protect you.”
“Even if you get beaten, I won’t.” Zhuang Xun made a face at Zhou Ziruo. “I’m going to go badmouth you right now.”
With that, he spun around and bolted past Zhou Ziruo.
“Hey, Yi Wangyou! Stand right there!”
Zhou Ziruo immediately gave chase, only to discover to her astonishment that Yi Wangyou’s short little legs were moving incredibly fast. Even though her martial arts were far superior, she simply could not catch up to him no matter what.
Once they left Posuo Hall, Zhou Ziruo didn’t dare to openly chase Yi Wangyou, so the distance between them grew wider and wider.
She had only just reached the bottom of the side cliff, while Yi Wangyou had already arrived at the entrance of Bai Yujing’s courtyard.
Then, before her shocked eyes, Yi Wangyou didn’t even knock. He climbed straight over the wall and broke inside.
He actually went in? No way, will Senior Brother throw him out...
Zhou Ziruo’s heart leaped. She hid behind a tree, staring toward the courtyard with a mix of nervousness and anticipation.
After a long time, during which the urge to go in and check on him arose in her mind multiple times, the courtyard gate was pushed open. Yi Wangyou walked out clutching a large pile of fruits and sweet pastries, eating as he walked.
He showed off to Zhou Ziruo behind the tree, “Senior Brother gave these to me. None for you.”
“I don’t even care,” Zhou Ziruo said, but couldn’t help asking, “Wait... Senior Brother kept you in there for so long and even gave you fruit? Since when did you get so close to him?”
“Just... The Little Overlord isn’t telling you.” Under Zhou Ziruo’s expectant gaze, Zhuang Xun turned his head away mischievously.
Zhou Ziruo walked over to Yi Wangyou and reached out to pat his head. When he dodged, she didn’t get angry either. Instead, she said in a gentle voice, “Junior Brother, remember to visit Senior Brother more often in the future. But I won’t feel safe letting you go alone, so Senior Sister will accompany you.”
“I don’t need you to.”
“You do, you do. Isn’t it tiring to carry so many things? Come, let Senior Sister hold them for you.” Zhou Ziruo was already plotting how to use her junior brother as a wingman in the future, her lips curling up into a massive grin that she couldn’t suppress. She chided, “Honestly, Senior Brother offered, but you actually took them? And so many, too. Where are your manners? Come, let’s go inside together and thank Senior Brother.”
After Zhou Ziruo took all the fruits and pastries, Zhuang Xun said honestly, “Senior Brother wasn’t there. I snuck in and stole all of this.”
“Huh?!”
“Oh no, Senior Brother is back! Run!” With that, Zhuang Xun took the lead and bolted.
“Little Overlord dash!”
Zhou Ziruo instinctively followed. A deep blush rushed from her neck all the way to the tips of her ears as she shrieked in absolute mortification, “Yi Wangyou! Are you trying to get killed?!”
“Junior Sister Zhou, what are you doing...”
Hearing Bai Yujing’s voice behind her, Zhou Ziruo froze in her tracks. She slowly squatted down, burying her face in the pile of fruits and pastries, completely unable to face reality. She desperately wanted to strangle Yi Wangyou to death right then and there.
“Oh no! Senior Sister got caught! Little Overlord secondary dash!”
