    Chapter 196 Little Monkey

    Luo Shuyou tossed the box out, casually waving his hand. Following closely behind the box was—a light green leaf. The two collided in mid-air, and the seemingly thin and fragile leaf struck the iron box like a divine weapon, emitting a crisp sound.

    A flash of white light, as if sharp blades had clashed fiercely, burst out, followed by an even more intense pale golden light, causing everyone to instinctively close their eyes for a few moments.

    When the dazzling light faded, the few people who opened their eyes saw a… little golden monkey holding its two small front paws to its chest, standing upright?

    “What’s going on?”

    “What the heck is that?”

    “Where did this monkey come from…?”

    “What was that flash of light just now?”

    ……

    Exclamations of surprise came one after another from different people, each person’s eyes fixed on the suddenly appearing and strangely out-of-place monkey.

    Small in size, with big eyes, black and round, and even double eyelids…! It just opened its dark, shiny big eyes and cutely turned its fluffy little head from side to side, carefully probing its surroundings. Golden-yellow fur loosely wrapped around its huddled body, looking soft and delicate, and surely felt great to touch.

    “Aaaaaahhhhh!”

    “It’s so cute!!!”

    “So adorable!”

    Gu Tangyue exclaimed softly, her girlish heart instantly melted, and she couldn’t help but want to rush over.

    Gu Tangxi grabbed her back, “The situation is unclear, don’t go over there yet.”

    Although she said that, a green light of eagerness was clearly burning in Gu Tangxi’s eyes as well.

    What girl could resist such a small, fluffy, and cuddly cutie?

    But now it’s the end of the world. Anything beautiful and attractive could be a trap to lure you in, like the beautiful illusion of Shuoyang Base.

    Gu Tangyue hesitantly asked, “This shouldn’t be a zombie monkey, right?”

    Wuwawa, just thinking about that possibility made her heart bleed.

    Please don’t! Be! It! Ah…!

    “Who knows?”

    Gu Tangxi was also unwilling to accept this possibility, although it was very slim, after all, this thing popped out of the box that Xie YunChuan and the others suspected contained the Jīngpò- Crystal Soul or Core, but who knows? Who knows if Wu Zixiao might have created something to confuse and trick them!

    Luo Shuyou pouted pitifully at Xie YunChuan, “Woo~! What should I do, YunChuan? It’s so cute, I want it, I regret it~!”

    Xie YunChuan smiled and pinched his face, “You’re cuter.”

    Then he indulged him, saying, “Then we’ll keep it, not give it to them.”

    Hearing Luo Shuyou’s words, Little White flashed out and arrived beside the little monkey in the blink of an eye, circling three times to the left and three times to the right, raising its head high and looking down at this little booger.

    This little mud ball like a sweet potato actually wants to shake its position as the only favorite!?

    Little White stood up, its half-grown body erect, and patted the fluffball’s head, which only reached its chest, with its right paw dismissively, snorting softly.

    Looking at its pink and white paw pads, and then looking at the fluffball standing in front of it, seemingly trembling, Little White came to a conclusion after comparing them back and forth.

    This little thing isn’t even enough for it to smack with one paw!

    Is that it?

    It looks so weak?

    Still wants to stay by little master’s side?

    Dream on!

    The golden monkey was like a fool, letting Little White play with it. It had just been injured, and Little White was a Wood Spirit Jīngpò- Crystal Soul or Core companion beast that had appeared in the world long before it, so it naturally didn’t dare to resist Little White at this time.

    “Little White is messing with it like that, it shouldn’t be dangerous, right?” Gu Tangyue asked uncertainly, uh! At this time, she couldn’t wait to transform into Little White and be the one to stroke the fluffball.

    Gu Tangxi blankly watched Little White “torment” the little golden monkey like they usually “tormented” it, even more excessively, and answered woodenly, “Probably… right!?”

    Xu Yuzhe: “……!”

    “Don’t ‘probably’ it, it’s the Wind Spirit Jīngpò- Crystal Soul or Core’s companion beast, and its aura is very weak right now, it doesn’t have much combat power.”

    Xu Yuzhe was a wind-type ability user, and he was more sensitive to the aura of the Wind Spirit Jīngpò- Crystal Soul or Core, feeling that faint aura from the moment it broke out of the box.

    Gu Tangxi raised an eyebrow at Gu Tangyue, “Then what are we waiting for? Go get it!”

    Gu Tangyue’s smile gradually became perverted, “Let’s go!”

    The three approached and heard Luo Shuyou stopping Little White’s demonic behavior of bullying the weak, “Ball, don’t bully the little monkey.”

    Luo Shuyou’s gentle voice did not reduce the grievance in Little White’s heart. It stopped its movements, raised its head, widened its eyes, and looked pitifully at Luo Shuyou, crying to him.

    “Little master is going to abandon Ball and look for a new love, and still says I’m bullying the monkey? Wuwuwu, that’s too much!”

    “Youyou, you don’t love Ball anymore.”

    “What nonsense are you talking about? Who said I was going to abandon you?” Luo Shuyou scooped up Little White and held it in his arms, gently rubbing its tiger head, “Look at how much this little monkey has been bullied by you? We, as seniors, must have the demeanor of elders, and we can’t bully the weak for no reason, okay?”

    Of course, if there’s a reason, who cares if you’re weak? The weaker the better, we’ll still do it!

    The monkey hiding behind Xu Yuzhe hugged his leg and tentatively poked out its eyes, watching this group of tall creatures. As soon as Little White released its claws, it immediately found a seemingly reliable haven and scurried over.

    It originally didn’t need to look up at people, but its energy had been consumed by the previous siege, so the smaller it was, the more energy it could save, making it easier to recover.

    In a situation where others are the knife and I am the fish, it still preferred to choose an ability user with a matching attribute to submit to.

    In fact, the Jīngpò- Crystal Soul or Core is easier to absorb energy and grow when attached to the body of an ability user with the same attribute, and the relationship between the Jīngpò- Crystal Soul or Core and the ability user is mutually beneficial.

    It’s just that the little monkey had been accustomed to the mountains and wild since it developed consciousness, and it didn’t like the previous group’s bandit behavior, so it fought them to the death.

    In the end, its energy was exhausted and it was beaten back into the Jīngpò- Crystal Soul or Core and sealed in the box…!

    Luo Shuyou looked at Xu Yuzhe and said, “It likes you, if you can subdue it, then the Wind Spirit Jīngpò- Crystal Soul or Core will be yours.”

    This unexpected surprise shocked Xu Yuzhe and the little monkey. Before Xu Yuzhe could make a move, the little monkey took the lead and flashed into Xu Yuzhe’s body.

    Among this group of people, only Xu Yuzhe was a wind-type ability user, the most attractive and useful to it.

    The other choice was Luo Shuyou. In fact, the Wood Spirit Jīngpò- Crystal Soul or Core in Luo Shuyou’s body also deeply attracted it. That aura was powerful, vibrant, and could nourish all things.

    But at the same time, it also sensed another equally powerful, but turbid, evil aura that could erode all things contained in his body.

    After weighing the two, the little monkey decisively chose Xu Yuzhe.
