Seven Cubs, Seven Fathers, Zero Days Off novel Chapter 84

Chapter 84: Chapter 84: That Damn Fox, How Could He Come Up with Such a Move?

Their houses were all built of stone or wood, then decorated with a special plaster or, in some cases, directly with gold dust.

As for palaces, they were built by master craftsmen.

This was the first time she had ever seen yellow mud mixed with dry straw.

After he was done sulking in the shadows, Huang Ziyue returned to find Mu Silin helping Shen Yue mix the yellow mud all by himself.

The two of them were chatting away quite happily.

Just then, Shen Yue picked up two smooth, trowel-like tools and began smearing the yellow mud onto the bamboo house.

Mu Silin quickly walked over and grabbed the tool in her hand.

"Let me. You tell me what to do, and I’ll do the work!"

Their hands accidentally touched.

Mu Silin’s heart leaped, and his face reddened slightly. Feeling her small hand in his, a jolt of electricity shot through him.

’Such a soft, small, delicate hand.’

Shen Yue, however, hadn’t even reacted yet.

But Huang Ziyue’s face darkened, and he strode right up to them.

He yanked Shen Yue’s hand out of Mu Silin’s grasp.

Shen Yue nearly stumbled.

She looked at the scowling Huang Ziyue before her.

"What are you doing?"

Without a word, Huang Ziyue took the tool from her, "incidentally" brushing against her hand as he did so.

’It really is soft and tender.’

Shen Yue: "..."

’Why do I get the feeling this guy is just trying to cop a feel?’

Watching Huang Ziyue turn and forcefully slap the yellow mud onto the bamboo house, her lips twitched.

The way he moved, it looked like he was taking his anger out on the house.

’I didn’t provoke him, did I?’

Mu Silin was instantly displeased.

"You Flood Dragon, don’t you understand the concept of first come, first served? This was a job I was going to do!"

Why should he get to snatch the work from his hands?

This was supposed to be his chance to shine.

Hearing this, Shen Yue coughed. Adhering to the principle of not wasting labor, she said:

"Um, Leopard, I have more over here."

As she spoke, she was already holding out two other plastering scrapers to him.

Mu Silin stared, stunned for a moment, at the scrapers that had appeared out of thin air.

He reached out and took them. Although he didn’t want to work with this Flood Dragon—he wanted to do it all himself—Shen Yue had called him "Leopard."

’Who could resist being called "Leopard" so gently?’

The two of them began plastering the yellow mud on the wall together. Shen Yue watched them, blinking.

She couldn’t help but sigh inwardly.

’Two people are so much faster than one. Plus, with their high spiritual power, they don’t even need a ladder. They can just fly around and stand in mid-air to plaster the high spots.’

And so, she started directing them from below.

"Leopard, to the left! It’s not smooth!"

"Hey, uh, Big Bro Ice Block, a little lower!"

Hearing Shen Yue’s voice, the two of them worked with even more vigor.

Huang Ziyue didn’t even argue with her about calling him "Big Bro Ice Block."

So, when Ye Lüqi and Lan Cangyue returned with a wild mountain goat and fresh fish, this was the scene that greeted them.

Shen Yue stood below, happily giving orders.

Huang Ziyue and Mu Silin were also happily flying back and forth in mid-air, their movements surprisingly in sync.

The two seemed to be competing, neither willing to back down, working high and low, which was clearly putting Shen Yue in an excellent mood.

Ye Lüqi and Lan Cangyue looked at the prey in their hands, and suddenly, their own task didn’t seem so appealing anymore.

’If we’d known, we wouldn’t have gone out. Helping Shen Yue build her house would have been so much better!’

Only visible contributions would be remembered by Shen Yue; only visible effort and performance would leave a deep impression on her. And so, the two immediately walked over.

When it came to earning brownie points, they absolutely could not lose.

Shen Yue didn’t notice them until they were right in front of her. She turned her head to see them, one holding a goat, the other four plump fish.

Ye Lüqi said, "This little lamb, I went to great lengths to catch it. You and the children can have roasted lamb this afternoon."

Lan Cangyue also held up the fish in his hand. "And this fish. I had to go to a very distant body of water to catch these. They’re still alive."

Shen Yue eyed the fish in his hands. They really were still alive.
