A Cutie Spoiled by Her Seven Uncles-Chapter 762 - 705: Where is the Baby?

With that, he flicked his robe sleeve and departed, leaving Dugu Xiao thoroughly chagrined.

Dugu Xiao rubbed his nose, helpless. He carried Ji Youzhi to the bed and personally covered him with the quilt, muttering, "Even if you’re exhausted and want to sleep, you should at least finish our conversation first! Lie on Dafeng’s back and go to sleep then! Shouldn’t you have had it guide me and take off first? Just great. Now I have no idea of our route back, and Dafeng isn’t moving an inch on that deck. How could it possibly understand if I tell it to lead the way?"

As Dugu Xiao rambled and grumbled, he helplessly covered Ji Youzhi with the quilt once more, then sat by his bedside, waiting for him to wake.

Ji Youzhi’s vision blurred, then cleared. When he opened his eyes, he saw Xiaosuisui waving at him and cheerfully calling him "Uncle Seven." He felt rather helpless.

"If you have something to say, say it quickly. I just found your Uncle Dugu; he’s lost at sea. I hadn’t even had a chance to look at the nautical chart before you pulled me in here."

Hearing this, Xiaosuisui blinked. "What a coincidence, Uncle Seven! Actually, I wasn’t looking for you. I wanted to find Uncle Dugu!"

Ji Youzhi was... Speechless. His own niece! If he tried to discipline her, she’d fight back. More importantly, he couldn’t win against her. This was her domain; if she got upset and tossed him into the Lotus Pond, he’d become another Ji the Second!

Ji Youzhi struggled to compose himself.

It took him a good while to regain his composure before he asked, "What do you want him for?"

Xiaosuisui blinked, instinctively sensing her Uncle Seven’s unhappiness.

"Uncle Seven, are you upset?"

"I am not!" Ji Youzhi retorted, stubbornly refusing to admit he was angry.

Xiaosuisui dragged him in here to find Dugu Xiao!

"You are! I can clearly feel it. Tell me, why are you upset?"

"I’m perfectly happy, not upset at all. What exactly do you need Dugu Xiao for?" He bit out the name ’Dugu Xiao’ with such force, as if he wanted to tear the man apart with his teeth.

"It’s nothing much. Uncle Yun Kuo’s business here should be wrapped up by tomorrow afternoon, and we want to head back. I was thinking, since Uncle Dugu is at sea, he must have ships, right? So, I wondered if we could ask him to send two ships to pick everyone up here."

The little girl said this, scratching her head sheepishly and peeking at Ji Youzhi’s expression, afraid he would get upset and refuse.

"This matter, huh! Let me ask him first. Send me back for now. Find me again in an hour, and I’ll let you know then if it’s a yes or no!"

Hearing Ji Youzhi’s words, Xiaosuisui understood. "Okay then, Uncle Seven! I’ll send you out now!"

When Ji Youzhi woke up again, he sensed something was wrong!

A pair of hands... a pair of somewhat rough hands... A pair of large, somewhat rough hands were roaming all over his body!

Ji Youzhi... His heart lurched... Panic flared... His legs clamped shut instinctively... He barely dared to breathe!

"Where is it? Where did he put that treasure?" Beside his ear, Dugu Xiao was muttering, his voice laced with confusion.

What is he looking for? Ji Youzhi wondered. What treasure? How could he not know about any treasure on his person? Especially a treasure coveted by Dugu Xiao!

While he was bewildered, Dugu Xiao’s hands, which had been searching his body, suddenly stilled. Ji Youzhi was about to sigh in relief when he heard Dugu Xiao’s perplexed voice again.

"Could that little treasure be in his pants? Heavens, if I strip him bare now to find it, will he wake up and chase me with a sword to the ends of the earth?"

"He will!" Ji Youzhi’s icy voice rang out. This gave Dugu Xiao such a fright that his eyes shot wide open, and his hand trembled violently.

"Dugu Xiao! I’ll kill you!" Ji Youzhi leaped from the bed, a longsword materializing in his hand, and immediately went after Dugu Xiao, hacking wildly!

Dugu Xiao bolted, shouting explanations as he fled, "A misunderstanding! It’s a misunderstanding, Seventh Brother! Listen, I was just looking for something on you, believe it or not?"

"Looking for something? What do I have that you don’t, that you’d need to search my body for it? You were just looking for an excuse to paw at me, you... you per... vert!" Cursing furiously, Ji Youzhi relentlessly pursued Dugu Xiao, his sword flashing with deadly intent.

Dugu Xiao was utterly terrified, scrambling to dodge and hide while desperately pleading for mercy.
