After Descending the Mountain, Seven Big Brothers Spoil Me

Brother Dafu had once said that one should earn money in proportion to the work they do. They must live up to the money they receive and work diligently. At the same time, they should live up to themselves—work hard but leave on time, with overtime paid triple.

Zhouzhou followed this principle to the letter. Since she became the Little Lord of Hell, she had been working from midnight until 6 AM every day. When there were tasks from the Fourth Bureau, she would take leave from the Underworld.

Naturally, the Underworld could not offer her real money, and since Zhouzhou could not use money for ghost, the compensation for her work was in the form of virtuous deeds. Virtuous deeds, like merit, was a type of spiritual credit that could protect future generations and ensure the prosperity of one's family. In addition, there were some small perks.

For example, after becoming the Lord of Hell, Zhouzhou was naturally able to view the Book of Life and Death.

Many years later, Zhouzhou held the Book of Life and Death and went to find Ye Lingfeng. Ye Lingfeng, with his daughter's protection, was unbothered during his life, and after death, the hundred ghosts made way for him. As the biological father of the Lord of Hell, he had his own palace.

"Dad!" Zhouzhou ran quickly to Ye Lingfeng and whispered in his ear, "I've found Mom's place to reincarnate."

Upon hearing this, Ye Lingfeng's eyes lit up. "Where?"

Zhouzhou replied, "In a family in the South City. Dad, hurry up and reincarnate. I've arranged for you to be her neighbor. I've already talked to Ancestral Master, and he'll tie the red string for you."

This way, they could grow up together and make up for the regrets of this life.

Ye Lingfeng was naturally happy about this idea, but he asked, "Won't this affect you?"

After all, she was the Lord of Hell, and this seemed to be abusing her power for private gain.

Zhouzhou shook her head. "It won't. With your virtue, Dad, reincarnation can be chosen freely, and it's written in the Underworld rules. So this is perfectly legitimate."

In that case, Ye Lingfeng didn't hesitate and immediately went to reincarnate, lest someone else get ahead of him, leaving him without a place to cry.

When drinking the Lethe Soup, Zhouzhou quietly gave Old Lady Meng, the underworld official for the memories of the past life, a meaningful look.

Old Lady Meng winked at her and picked up a bowl of soup mixed with water, handing it to Ye Lingfeng.

Since he wouldn't do anything bad, it didn't matter if he reincarnated with some past life memories—he would only remember matters related to An Ya, and not other things.

Those who drank the normal Lethe Soup and forgot their previous life often found themselves deeply attracted to their destined partner at first sight. This attraction was often the result of a connection from their previous life.

Everything was within the rules.

They were all law-abiding citizens of the Underworld, after all.

When Ye Lingfeng was almost at the Abyss Bridge, he turned and waved at Zhouzhou.

Zhouzhou stood on tiptoe and waved back at him, smiling radiantly.

Ye Lingfeng was moved by everything his daughter had done for him, but couldn't help but silently laugh at how heartless she was.

Their father-daughter bond would be severed in this life, yet she could still smile so happily.

Zhouzhou, of course, was happy. Her dad was finally going to be with her Mom, no longer alone. She was genuinely happy for them.

Moreover, who said their father-daughter bond had been severed?

After Ye Lingfeng left, Zhouzhou immediately ran in a certain direction...

Three months later, in a hospital room in South City, two new lives were born simultaneously.

"I didn't expect us to give birth at the same time, and one boy, one girl! Your daughter is so beautiful. We agreed, right? These two kids are betrothed. Your daughter will be my daughter-in-law."

"Why the rush! If these two kids really end up together, I'll definitely let Yaya marry your little Feng."

Of course, they would end up together.

Ye Lingfeng—no, at this moment, he should be called Ling Feng—had reincarnated into a family in South City surnamed Ling. Coincidentally, his name was pretty much the same as his name from the past life.

He struggled to turn his head toward An Ya's direction. Even though his newly born eyes couldn't see clearly, he still stared at her intently.

Yaya, I've found you at last.

In this life, I will protect you.

...

An Ya had always known that the boy from the neighboring family, Ling Feng, treated her the best.

He would braid her hair, share whatever snacks he had, and if anyone dared to bully her, he would knock them down with one punch.

To An Ya, he was like a hero.

Unlike An Ya, who always felt safe with Ling Feng around, Ling Feng was quite worried about her. In his eyes, Yaya was fair and delicate, gentle, and always smiling to everyone she was talking to. He was worried that she would be bullied.

Although he could take care of her, when they went to different departments in college, he wouldn't be able to always be by her side.

On the first day of the semester, Lingfeng patted An Ya's head and said, "Yaya, if anyone dares to bully you, you must tell me."

An Ya, with her long hair flowing and her pair of big eyes sparkling, smiled sweetly, showing two dimples, and softly nodded. "I know, Brother Feng."

Seeing her like this made Ling Feng even more worried.

He reluctantly watched her enter the classroom, full of concern.

Just after turning a corner, An Ya was blocked by several girls. They smelled of cigarette and wore heavy makeup, looking quite troublesome.

The leader of the group scanned An Ya with disdain. "Are you the one Ling Feng's interested in? He has terrible taste."

An Ya didn't speak, silently watching her.

The leader of the group sneered. "He actually turned me down for someone like you. Let me warn you, stay away from him in the future, or else..."

She raised her fist. "See this?"

Her tone was threatening.

An Ya remained silent, looking at her.

The girls behind the leader laughed. "Look, she's scared silly."

The leader nodded in satisfaction. "Now that you know how powerful I am, when Ling Feng and I are together, I'll notify you."

She turned to leave, but just then, a soft voice rang in her ear. "No."

"What?" The leader paused and turned to look at An Ya.

Immediately after, a small, fair fist flew toward her.

The leader didn't care at first, but the next second, she felt a sharp pain and bent over in agony.

Her underlings rushed to her aid, but in just one move, An Ya knocked them all down.

The underlings stared in terror at An Ya, shocked by her strength!

An Ya flicked her hand. Tsk. Over the years, in order to maintain her delicate image in Brother Ling Feng's heart, she had spent considerable effort learning martial arts.

She smiled and looked down at the leader. "Ling Feng is mine. Stay away from him, or else..."

She mimicked the leader's earlier action and waved her fist, scaring the leader into nodding rapidly.

When she saw that the leader had finally surrendered, An Ya relaxed, straightened her skirt, and walked away with graceful steps.

Ye Lingfeng, who had just remembered something, came back to find her.

This scene perfectly matched the image in his mind.

Leaning against the wall, he watched her retreating figure, his eyes full of affection.

His Yaya... had never changed. So cute.

The leader and her group helped each other up, and after a few steps, they saw him. They immediately began to complain. "Ling Feng, did you see? An Ya is pretending to be weak and gentle all the time. She's actually violent!"

Hmph, let's see if Lingfeng still likes her now.

Ling Feng glanced at them and said, "She's the one I spoil. Do you have a problem with that?"

"What?"

The leader was stunned, staring at him.

Ling Feng raised his fist. "Stay away from her, or else..."

He punched the wall next to him, and a hole appeared instantly. His hand was perfectly fine.

The scene terrified the leader, who couldn't even speak, and quickly ran away.

Two violent maniacs—let them be together!

Ling Feng shook his hand and was about to leave when a teacher came up to him, glaring. "Which department are you from? You're destroying public property—pay for the damage!"

Lingfeng was speechless.

Why did this scene feel so familiar? Why couldn't he quite remember?

After graduation from college, Ling Feng and An Ya got married. A year later, their daughter was born.

Looking at his little daughter with her bright eyes, Ling Feng suddenly thought of a name.

"Zhouzhou. Our daughter's name will be Zhouzhou."

An Ya felt the name was familiar too and immediately nodded. "Okay."

Then, she saw him carry their daughter out of the room and asked, "What are you doing?"

"Going to register her under our household."

Suddenly, a thought flashed through his mind. He had to get their daughter registered quickly, or she might be registered under someone else's name.

Wait, no. This was his daughter—who else could she be registered under?

That thought seemed so strange.

Never mind, he thought. After all, in this life, his daughter could only be on his household register!

Zhouzhou grinned with her toothless smile in his arms.

What could she do? Her dad was still a single man in this life. She had to find her Sharp Tongue Daddy first. Maybe in the next life, they would be fated to be father and daughter again.

Looking at An Ya, she reached out with her little hand.

"Mom, we meet again~~~"
