Chapter 736: Trouble Comes to Those Who Ask for It

It’s just to scare the kids a little; Hawkeye purposely threw it off target.

Even so, Candy still got a fright.

The little guy didn’t expect that Uncle Hawkeye was so strong, able to throw a snowball so far.

At this moment, Zero, who was standing next to Candy, looked at the smug Hawkeye in the distance and said to Candy:

"Impressed? If not, we can totally take him down."

Candy was troubled, "Can’t beat him, can’t even throw it that far."

"If you can’t, I sure can!"

Zero patted her small chest confidently and said with great bravado:

"Within a hundred meters, I can hit anything I aim at!"

"No bragging!"

Candy looked at the confident Zero and quickly chose to believe her.

Because Zero really never bragged.

With her hands in her pockets, Zhou Yaling believed it the moment Zero said it.

Zero is the highest-tech product of Candy Technology, being a sharpshooter isn’t unusual.

So...

Under Hawkeye’s puzzled gaze, Zero firmly squeezed a snowball and gave Hawkeye a cheeky grin.

When Hawkeye saw Zero’s mischievous grin, he knew things might go wrong.

True enough, the next moment, a snowball flew towards him at an astonishing speed.

Luckily, he’s a genuine sniper, and Hawkeye dodged the snowball immediately.

Just as Hawkeye stuck his head out to take a look, it got hit by another snowball.

Hawkeye was stunned for a moment.

If this were the battlefield, he would be dead.

At that moment, Hawkeye began to reflect on how his awareness had become so weak.

In the yard, Candy clapped happily.

"Zero, you’re the best."

"Heh heh, I told you, within a hundred meters, I’m invincible."

With the snowball in hand, Zero waited for Hawkeye to show himself again. If he didn’t, Zero was ready to demonstrate a parabolic throw, letting Hawkeye know that hiding behind an obstacle was useless.

Just then, Zero frowned at the snowball in her hand.

"Huh, why is the color of this snowball off?"

Just about to ask Candy, she noticed Candy and Zhou Yaling had retreated some distance away.

Candy looked at the oddly colored snowball in Zero’s hand with a face full of terror.

"What’s wrong with you guys?"

Zero’s expression was a bit naive, wondering why they suddenly looked at her in horror.

Almost hiding behind Zhou Yaling, Candy swallowed hard, pointed at the snowball in Zero’s hand, and stammered:

"Zero, the snowball you just picked up, Little Grey just peed on it."

As soon as Candy spoke, Zero’s face changed, and she quickly tossed the oddly-colored snowball away.

Without saying another word, Zero turned on the faucet and started washing her hands frantically.

"Can I still use this hand?"

Candy considerately handed over the dish soap to Zero.

"If you wash it, you can still use it."

With that, Zero looked at Candy with a resentful expression.

"You saw it but didn’t warn me."

Hearing this, Candy indignantly retorted: "You really can’t blame my sister or me. Your hands were too quick, and before we could warn you, you already scooped it up."

"Ask my sister if you don’t believe me."

After using half a bottle of dish soap, Zero still felt there was a lingering smell on her hands.

Although it was an illusion, Little Grey’s behavior was unforgivable!

The more she thought about it, the angrier she got. Zero was ready to go inside and slaughter Little Grey.

Seeing the two little people walking in, Mo Jingchun smiled and asked, "Want to have a snowball fight again in the future?"

Zero snorted slightly and said, "Boss, where’s Little Grey?"

"Just say the word, do you want dog meat hot pot or not?"

"As long as you say the word, I’ll take care of the rest."

Snowy days paired with dog meat hot pot sounded pretty good.

However, Mo Jingchun didn’t give the order.

Didn’t see how anxious Candy was already?

"Zero, you can still use your hand, why not let Little Grey off the hook?"

"Little Grey didn’t do it on purpose."

"You’re feeling sorry for your dog."

Candy shook her head vigorously, "That’s not it."

"Then let’s go for dog meat hot pot."

"That won’t do."

"Then string him up and beat him."

Candy thought seriously for a moment and nodded.

A beating is better than losing one’s life.

Besides, didn’t my brother also spank me when I made mistakes?

It didn’t take much effort for Zero to find Little Grey hiding in the corner of the first-floor storeroom.

Look at that, still knows how to hide.

To say Little Grey wasn’t deliberate, Zero would never believe it.

Little Grey, hanging by Zero’s hand, tucked its head down, but those big eyes still showed a hint of defiance.

Candy looked at him sorrowfully, unable to bear watching any longer, and turned her head away.

"Little Grey, being able to save your doggy life is already a favor."

Under the watchful eyes of Mo Jingchun and Zhou Yaling, Zero carried Little Grey out the door.

Candy followed out of concern.

"What’s Zero planning to do?" Zhou Yaling asked curiously.

Mo Jingchun chuckled lightly and said, "As far as I know Zero, Little Grey will probably become a snowman."

"Hiss~ Won’t it freeze?"

Mo Jingchun said in surprise, "How could it? Little Grey’s already been neutered."

At this moment, Zhou Yaling fell silent.

A few minutes later, Candy came running in, panicked and shouting loudly: "Oh no."

"Oh no."

"Brother, you have to stop Zero. It’s going to be fatal for the dog."

"What’s wrong?" Mo Jingchun calmly looked at Candy.

Candy, babbling, said, "Zero buried Little Grey, there’s only a dog’s head left."

"Little Grey is going to croak."

Mo Jingchun and Zhou Yaling exchanged glances, as if saying, "See, I told you so, Little Grey got turned into a snowman."

"Don’t worry, Little Grey won’t die, at most it’ll be scared to pee."

Clearly, Candy didn’t believe this. Little Grey was whining miserably at this point.

With no other choice, Mo Jingchun was dragged out by Candy.

In the yard, Little Grey whined pitifully, and in those big eyes, there was no more defiance, only fear.

Of course, with only the dog’s eyes and nose still showing, anyone would be scared out of their wits.

Didn’t see Hawkeye and the others on the roof silently watching Zero’s feat?

At this moment, Zero got another label in the eyes of Hawkeye and the crew.

"Do not mess with!"

Mo Jingchun saw that Little Grey was nearly scared enough and said, "Alright, that’s enough, let’s not scare Little Grey to death."

"Hmph ╭(╯^╰)╮."

Zero snorted lightly and turned back into the house.

Watching the still stunned Candy, Mo Jingchun reminded her: "Aren’t you going to save your dog?"

"Huh? Right, right, save Little Grey."

In less than half a minute, Candy had dug Little Grey out.

This fellow was probably scared out of his wits, and as soon as he regained his mobility, he shivered under Candy’s feet and looked around with his dog head.

Clearly, the coward was looking for Zero.

Once inside, dragged by Candy, Little Grey, seeing Zero coldly sneering on the couch, dashed into the storage room with its tail between its legs and buried its head under Bun’s belly.
