Chapter 89: Playing With Questionable Toys
Still, Shen Jiashu followed the principle of whatever the princess says is right. He mixed up the poop-yellow paint water and loaded her gun.
Yuan You’er chose red, Luo Zichuan went black, Qi Lan picked Barbie-pink, while Shi Jianchen went wild with an abstract rainbow mess.
Once the guns were ready, the game began!
Using the wishing fountain as the center and the tent as the boundary, a full-scale chase-and-shoot battle broke out on the lawn.
Rules: only shots below the neck counted. If you were hit, you were out and swapped with a teammate.
The last one standing would be the winner.
Including Chi Qian, there were eight players in the first round.
Since it was her birthday, everyone else ganged up on her at once.
Chi Qian leapt up into a tree, perched on a branch, and before they could react, she fired down.
Poop-yellow, right on target. One person eliminated.
“You’re amazing, Qian Qian!!” Yuan You’er waved her little hands in cheer.
After that hit, Chi Qian jumped down, rolling nimbly to dodge shots from all sides, then slipped into a flowerbed.
She whistled, and Little Fragrant the pig came trotting over.
Chi Qian hopped onto its back and commanded: “Charge!”
“Oink oink!!” Little Fragrant dug its front hooves into the ground and charged forward.
The kids chasing her froze. “Wait WHAT? We’re all on foot and you summon a mount?!”
In an instant, the hunter became the hunted. They screamed and scattered.
Chi Qian fired with deadly accuracy, each shot landing in very awkward spots.
Finally, the last player went down—Chi Qian won.
“I give up! But why’d you grab me? Even if you’re out, can’t you let me live?”
“I saw Peppa running over—can’t I bring it to find George?”
“Ref! I call hacks, Chi Qian’s cheating!!”
“…Hey, don’t your butts feel weird?”
The seven eliminated kids were confused—until a roar came from the adults’ side.
“Lin Xu! How old are you to still be wetting your pants?!”
“Zhong Zhirui, you too?! What’s that yellow mess on your backside?!”
The seven kids: “……”
Shen Jiashu and the others burst out laughing.
The livestream still running caught the whole scene—viewers nearly laughed themselves into the hospital.
[So THAT was Chi Qian’s evil plan with the poop-yellow paint!]
[Where’d she get those water guns? I want one—this is way too cool!]
[Going up against Chi Qian in a gunfight… these kids really are innocent idiots.]
[Hahaha when they get home, they’re definitely getting a joint beating from both parents.]
Only now did everyone realize how terrifying Chi Qian’s water gun was.
Getting hit didn’t hurt, but the social death was lethal.
No way—losing was not an option!
They had to fight for their dignity!
Chi Lisen rubbed his temples, watching his granddaughter run around gleefully shooting other people. Stop her? He couldn’t bear to when she was so happy. Let her keep going? The others were suffering.
If they left Chi Family’s Manor like this, reporters outside might really think they’d all had an “accident.”
Chi Qian… she really was something else.
Chi Chaoshen glanced at Chi Fengxiao. “Look at the kind of toy you bought her.”
Chi Fengxiao looked aggrieved. “I didn’t think water guns could even be used this way! And she keeps aiming at people’s butts—seriously… Is it too late for me to join the other team?”
Chi Chaoshen: “……”
The game reached its final round, with only Chi Qian’s team left standing.
The opponents were all wiped out. Now it was an internal showdown.
“Princess, could you spare me, please?” Shen Jiashu raised his hand in surrender.
Chi Qian: “Why should boys be treated differently? Turn around and let me shoot you.”
“Oh, okay.” Shen Jiashu actually turned around obediently.
Shi Jianchen and Qi Lan: “…”
Being young sure made him easy to fool.
But the rest wouldn’t give up so easily.
“Guys, let’s split up and flank her!” Qi Lan lifted his water gun.
Shi Jianchen: “OK.”
Yuan You’er and Luo Zichuan nodded as well.
This round was the Battle of Butt Protection!
Before Chi Qian could even find a hiding spot, they charged in from both sides, water guns blasting indiscriminately. Streams of colored water flew wildly in all directions.
Their plan was simple: whoever hit Chi Qian first would knock her out, and then the survivors could fight it out among themselves.
A great plan in theory, but harsh in reality.
Chi Qian tucked her water gun under her arm, hitched up her skirt, and scrambled up the wall, leaping onto the nearest balcony.
Several water streams narrowly missed her back, splashing against the wall instead.
“Qian Qian! How are we supposed to play if you do that?” Yuan You’er shouted from below.
Qi Lan: “No way—she’s basically a monkey, climbing everywhere!”
Shi Jianchen caught sight of Chi Qian leaping down from the other wall and blurted, “Dodge!”
Too late.
Qi Lan, who was standing closest, got nailed squarely.
Clutching his side with a pained look, he groaned, “Your title of Monkey King is well deserved.”
Chi Qian: “Move it, you’re blocking me, you big yellow pile of poop.”
Qi Lan: ???
Was she seriously this ruthless?!
Chi Qian didn’t care. Victory was right in front of her.
She was going to make everyone in this game turn poop-brown. No one would escape!
She went on the offensive, returning fire with a wild spray of water.
Yuan You’er and Luo Zichuan were taken out one after another, leaving only Shi Jianchen.
He hid behind the stone pillars at the villa entrance, waiting for a chance to strike.
But when he peeked out, Chi Qian was nowhere on the lawn.
Shi Jianchen felt a chill. He turned his head to search—
—and came face to face with a black-haired head dangling upside down from the ceiling.
The head grinned with eight exposed teeth in a sinister smile.
—And its face was upside down.
Shi Jianchen: ?!
He bolted.
Chi Qian fired, the powerful water blast exploding against his backside and knocking him flat.
Shi Jianchen—out.
Mission complete!
Chi Qian hopped down to the ground, grinning, only to spot someone stepping out of the bushes.
A leftover straggler!
Without hesitation, she aimed and fired.
Splat—!
Direct hit. But the water pressure was too strong, and the stream didn’t stop right away, continuing to soak the target.
“Chi Qian.” A familiar, deep, and icy voice rang out. “What do you think you’re doing?”
Chi Qian blinked, finding herself face-to-face with her stern but handsome eldest uncle.
Chi Qian: !!!
“B-Big Uncle!”
Chi Muze looked at the water gun in her hand, then at his drenched pants. His smile was cool and sharp. “Care to explain what kind of unhealthy toy you’re playing with?”
“Uncle, I…”
“Or maybe you knew I was coming back today and prepared this special ‘surprise’ for me?”
“Uh, uh…”
“Chi Qian Qian, come with me. Your uncle has a few things he wants to talk over with you.” Muze’s lips curved in a smile, but he radiated the aura of a terrifying overlord.
Chi Qian backed away a few steps, pointing behind him. “Grandpa! You’re here!”
Chi Muze turned his head.
Chi Qian took the chance to bolt—only to step on something.
A loud squeal split the air.
