Chapter 138: Chapter 140: There’s a Tiger in the MountainsMu Can slowly opened his eyes, but instead of the familiar Purple Cloud, two furry little faces came into view. It turned out to be two monkeys looking at him with concern. Gently smacking his lips, Mu Can detected a rich fragrance of wine in his mouth. Looking at the two monkeys holding gourds in front of him, it was quite confusing. "They mean no harm," Purple Cloud’s voice came through. Not knowing why he was here, but hearing Purple Cloud’s voice, Mu Can felt settled. With Purple Cloud there, his safety was not a concern. "What happened just now? How long was I unconscious?" Mu Can asked. He wanted to know why he ended up here. "It wasn’t long; these monkeys found you as soon as you passed out and brought you here. They meant no harm and even gave you their precious Monkey Wine," Purple Cloud explained. Mu Can sniffed the aromatic Monkey Wine in the air; this was the finest wine he had ever smelled. Seeing Mu Can slightly move his nose, the Monkey King sitting on the seat chattered a few times. The two little monkeys looked at their leader with resentful eyes before lifting the gourd high, gesturing for Mu Can to take another sip. This Monkey Wine was made from many Spirit Fruits collected by the monkeys and even though they brewed it every year, the quantity was always limited; this gourd was all their savings. Normally, let alone drinking, the monkeys didn’t even get the chance to smell it. Each year, during the New Year, being able to have a small sip each was their happiest moment. Mu Can did not hold back and opened his mouth as the Monkey Wine gently poured into it. A clear liquid mixed with a strong fragrance entered Mu Can’s mouth. "Good wine." Just as the Monkey Wine touched his lips, Mu Can’s eyes lit up—this wine could indeed be categorized as a Supreme Brew. He didn’t get a chance to savor this wine while unconscious, but now, drinking it, Mu Can personally experienced the taste of this exceptional brew. A large sip of Monkey Wine entered his stomach, and streams of pure Spiritual Energy spread from his abdomen to every limb. His entire body felt like it had undergone a transformative Washing Marrow and Removing Hair process, his whole body flushing with heat. "Circulate your energy," Purple Cloud, seeing Mu Can’s condition and knowing the Monkey Wine was working, remarked. Monkeys are social animals with a tradition of brewing; the stronger the Monkey Clan that brewed, the more precious the Monkey Wine. Monkey Wine, generally brewed from various rare Spirit Fruits, was not only a Supreme Brew but also served to enhance Cultivation. Hearing Purple Cloud’s words, Mu Can hurriedly began circulating the Nine Revolutions Mystic Dragon Technique. As Mu Can circulated his energy, the Spiritual Energy in his body moved with the operations of the Cultivation Technique. Gradually, a layer of black substance appeared on Mu Can’s body, emitting an unpleasant smell. Washing Marrow and Removing Hair truly transformed Mu Can, who already possessed the power of a Martial King, rejuvenating him entirely. "Just a little bit more." After ten cycles, Mu Can opened his eyes, slightly discontented, yet he soon smiled. "Sister Yun, am I being too greedy? This Monkey Wine almost advanced my Nine Revolutions Mystic Dragon Technique to the Third Revolution," Mu Can excitedly said to Purple Cloud inside the Reincarnation Pearl. You should know, it had been only a short while since Mu Can had just completed the Second Revolution; now, with just another miracle, the Third Revolution would be immediately achieved. This is already a terrifying speed. Mu Can slowly stood up and looked at the Monkey King seated on the chair, slowly bowing in salute. Regardless of whether the other party was human or not, Mu Can was immensely grateful for the tremendous benefits he had received from their hands. "Chirp chirp chirp." Seeing Mu Can bow to him, the Monkey King chirped. Mu Can did not understand at all, wondering why a Monkey King with the peak strength of a Martial King couldn’t speak. "Let Xiao Hong out to be my translator." Turning his eyes, although he himself didn’t understand, his little pet Xiao Hong definitely could, so Mu Can immediately summoned Xiao Hong from within the Reincarnation Pearl. Even if Xiao Hong did not like Mu Can, bound by the master-servant contract, Xiao Hong obediently stayed in Mu Can’s hand but showed passive resistance, looking listless. "Translate properly for me, and I’ll give you a taste of Monkey Wine later." Mu Can, fearful that Xiao Hong would slack off, quickly promised a reward. Sure enough, upon hearing Mu Can’s promise, Xiao Hong’s eyes showed a hint of spirit and no longer looked listless, instantly perking up. With a whoosh, Xiao Hong stood up from Mu Can’s hand, stretched out a wing, and shook it at Mu Can, fluffing two feathers, implying clearly that one sip was not enough— at least two were needed. "Two sips then, but you must translate accurately for me." Mu Can inwardly chuckled, this silly bird, even if I let you drink more, your small mouth couldn’t drink much. Hearing Mu Can’s words, Xiao Hong nodded her head coyly. You know what’s good for you, otherwise, I wouldn’t serve as your translator. "Thank them for their Monkey Wine on my behalf." Mu Can said to Xiao Hong. "Tweet tweet tweet." Accepting money from others to ward off disaster, Xiao Hong, having received the promised benefits from Mu Can, translated dutifully. Hearing Xiao Hong’s chirping, the Monkey King also showed an excited expression, finally able to communicate properly. "Chirp chirp chirp, chirp chirp chirp." The Monkey King chirped impatiently. "What is he saying?" Although it was obvious the Monkey King was in a hurry, Mu Can still couldn’t understand. "He says not to be polite and wants to ask if you can help them with something." Xiao Hong the translator conveyed. "What help?" If it was within his power, Mu Can wouldn’t mind helping these kind little monkeys. "Tweet tweet tweet." "Chirp chirp chirp." A bird and a monkey started their dialogue mode, making Mu Can anxious. "What are you two actually talking about?" This made it clear how important it is to master a foreign language. "It’s like this, the space here is quite small, but it houses the Monkey Clan and a few tigers. The tigers came later, seized the monkeys’ living space, and even injured the previous leader." Xiao Hong relayed. "Do they want me to help fight the tigers?" Mu Can asked perplexedly. seaʀᴄh thё NôᴠeFire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "There’s a peach tree where the tigers are settled; they need the Spirit Fruit from that tree to save the old leader. If you can defeat the tigers while you’re at it, they will surely be even more grateful." Xiao Hong had roughly understood the situation during her conversation with the Monkey King. "What strength are the tigers?" Saving the monkeys is fine, but Mu Can wasn’t sure about the tigers’ strength. "Just entered Martial Venerate." A tiger at the level of a Martial Venerate, with a strength not far off from the four great demons inside Death Mountain.
