A Cutie Spoiled by Her Seven Uncles-Chapter 463: Is it Possible to Change Your Fate Even if You’re Damn Short of 9 Lives?
Chapter 463: Chapter 463: Is it Possible to Change Your Fate Even if You’re Damn Short of 9 Lives?
Ji Youzhi’s question only made Ji Youran want to cry.
He first took a deep breath. "Little Seven! Do you think there’s any hope for my damned, unlucky life?"
Ji Youzhi opened his mouth sympathetically, offering up another dish. "Second Brother! This is stir-fried pork heart. They say eating heart strengthens the heart. You should eat up!"
Ji Youcheng interjected, "If we’re going by ’like nourishes like,’ Second Brother doesn’t need pork hearts! He needs pig brains!"
Ji Youzhi thought that made sense and nodded in agreement.
Ji Youran glared at them indignantly.
"Are you guys even my brothers? All you do is stand there gawking, not caring how serious this is! Especially you, Third Brother! What kind of crappy shop are you running? How could you let my medicine chest get lost? Do you have any idea how many treasures were in there? It was full of divine and magical elixirs, and even a 500-year-old ginseng! Do you realize its worth? It’s worth at least tens of thousands of taels of silver!"
Ji Youran felt absolutely heartbroken.
Having such unreliable younger brothers was so frustrating!
The corner of Ji Youcheng’s mouth twitched. His desire to mock his second brother suddenly vanished, and he abruptly dropped his chopsticks.
"So what if your loss is worth tens of thousands of taels of silver? Do you know how much I lost? I’m more anxious than you! What the hell are you yelling at me for!"
Ji Youran blinked, not quite understanding.
"What kind of nonsense are you spouting? Do you think I care about tens of thousands of silver? What I care about are my medicines, elixirs, and the potent poisons among them!"
Ji Youzhi silently pressed his forehead.
They couldn’t wait any longer. Despite the squabble between his second and third brothers, the discussion needed to get back on track.
"Can you two stop arguing? Second Brother, what exactly happened after you left the city yesterday? You only covered thirty miles, and it was already nighttime when you sought lodging. That’s suspicious."
Hearing Ji Youzhi’s question, Ji Youcheng hurriedly added, "Yes! What happened? How could you only travel a few dozen miles towards the Illusion Sect in a whole day? And you left at the crack of dawn!"
Ji Youran looked utterly exasperated. "I’m the unlucky one, as you all know. Anything I do, it’s a blessing if I don’t nearly die, and exerting herculean effort is just routine. Yesterday was no exception!"
"What happened to you yesterday? Stop beating around the bush! Just spill it already!" Ji Youcheng, impatient on his behalf, urged him on.
Ji Youran sighed, his face a mask of someone struggling to find the words. "I was heading for the Illusion Sect, but after leaving the city, my horse suddenly went mad for some reason. It bolted in the opposite direction and ran for more than a hundred miles before stopping. Thankfully, I’m skilled at horsemanship; otherwise, that ride would have killed me."
The truth was, Ji Youran had taken the wrong route himself. He only realized he was going the wrong way after traveling over a hundred miles. Afraid of being ridiculed, he made up the excuse about the horse going mad and running in the wrong direction.
"And then? You came back the same way and only arrived here to stay the night around midnight?" Ji Youcheng continued to probe, his expression clearly showing that he believed him.
However, only Ji Youzhi knew what his brother was truly like. He wasn’t really bad at identifying directions; rather, he simply often got lost or went the wrong way. Just like that time he was returning to Ling Village, got lost halfway, and ended up finding an enormous ginseng that ultimately cured their eldest brother’s leg.
Sensing Ji Youzhi’s subtle yet knowing gaze, Ji Youran sheepishly touched his nose and finally began to recount another, even more embarrassing, experience.
