Chapter 144: Chapter 146: The Anxious Xiao HongPoor Tiger and the old Monkey King headed back to Monkey King’s cave together. As they passed by Purple Cloud, Poor Tiger felt a immense pressure coming upon him, his feet stumbled and he almost collapsed. This force was so sudden and overwhelming, it made Poor Tiger felt as though he was facing a natural predator. He could only stare blankly at Purple Cloud, not even having the courage to speak, fearing he might fall over just by opening his mouth. Although the old Monkey King knew Purple Cloud was strong, he never imagined she could be so powerful that a mere look could silence Poor Tiger, who usually fought like a wild dog, rendering him unable to speak. "Sister Cloud, it’s okay, this Poor Tiger is not a bad guy." Seeing Poor Tiger stop, Mu Can sensed something was amiss and quickly stepped forward to say. Originally, Mu Can wanted to resolve the issues with Poor Tiger through combat, but then realized that Poor Tiger was actually a rational vegetarian animal; therefore, his attitude towards Poor Tiger greatly improved, and he did not want Purple Cloud to harm Poor Tiger. "Hmm." Hearing Mu Can’s words, Purple Cloud nodded and withdrew her aura. "Monkey Wine, Monkey Wine." Seeing the matter resolved, Little Red began flapping on Purple Cloud’s shoulder. Searᴄh the ηovёlFire .net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. A large part of his previous efforts were because of the Monkey Wine. "It’s yours, don’t worry, there’s enough for everyone." Although Monkey King spoke generously, it seemed to pain him inside. Previous Monkey Kings, after abdicating, would keep the remaining Monkey Wine they brewed during their reign as their prized collection—this had become a tradition among the monkeys, and which king had the tastier wine became an important measure for comparison. Monkey King’s stock was already low, he worried about how much of his collection he would have left after this, thus he seemed preoccupied. "Chirp chirp chirp." Hearing Monkey King’s promise, Little Red excitedly chirped. "What are you flaunting about, I tell you, if you drink too much, I’ll pluck your feathers to make a fan," Mu Can fiercely threatened, seemingly having a dislike towards Little Red. "Alright, let’s go." Purple Cloud said casually, yet Poor Tiger felt an irresistible force in her tone. "This woman is too terrifying, I can’t even dare to harbor thoughts of combat," Poor Tiger thought grimly, despite having dominated the Death Maze for many years, this was the first time he encountered someone so powerful. The two, along with a monkey, a tiger, and a bird, returned to the cave. The monkey sentries guarding the cave’s entrance spotted the group and immediately scrambled into the cave. "Leader, it’s bad! The old Monkey King and our benefactor have been kidnapped, they are at the cave entrance with that tiger" The Sentry shouted loudly upon seeing the leader. "Hurry, everyone get ready for battle, it’s do or die, we must rescue the old Monkey King and our benefactor." The monkeys swiftly grabbed their weapons and stood in line at the cave’s entrance waiting for Poor Tiger and his group’s arrival. "Chatter chatter chatter. Chatter chatter chatter." Upon seeing the Monkey King appear, a group of monkeys immediately started waving various long and short sticks, shouting loudly, which sounded quite imposing. "What are you doing? Rebelling?" As soon as the Monkey King saw his subordinates pointing weapons at him, he couldn’t save face and scolded loudly. "Chatter chatter chatter." The leader asked the old Monkey King with confusion, why does it seem like these people were a bit off? They didn’t look like enemies, more like they were friends coming over to visit. "No more fighting, we have turned enemies into friends now, and he will return the orchard to us, don’t worry, you won’t miss out on your Monkey Wine," the old Monkey King explained. The Monkey King could understand the current leader’s anxious mentality; as long as the poor tiger occupied this place for one day, the leader couldn’t brew top-tier Monkey Wine, which might make him the worst leader among this group of monkeys. "Chatter chatter?" Upon hearing that the orchard would be returned to him, the leader immediately threw the weapon aside and ran to the old Monkey King’s side, shouting excitedly. While shouting, he started circling around these few people. "Chatter chatter." After a few rounds, the leader ran back to the group of monkeys and shouted loudly. "What did he say?" Mu Can gently touched Xiao Hong and asked. Xiao Hong, however, turned her head arrogantly and brushed against Purple Cloud, completely ignoring Mu Can. "Do you even know who your master is?" Seeing Xiao Hong throwing temper at him, Mu Can couldn’t help but feel annoyed. "Yun Jie, how is Xiao Fuqi doing?" Mu Can felt it was time to find a ’big brother’ for Xiao Hong, and Xiao Fuqi was the perfect candidate. "He should be waking up soon." Inside the Reincarnation Pearl, Xiao Fuqi seemed to have reached the final stage of evolution. A huge cocoon enveloped him, emitting a faint glow. Upon closer inspection, one could even faintly hear a melodious song, presenting a sacred scene. "Your good days are coming to an end," Mu Can said lightly to Xiao Hong. Xiao Hong suddenly felt a pressure, as if Xiao Fuqi’s status was higher than hers. "Who is Xiao Fuqi?" Xiao Hong, trying to please, jumped onto Mu Can and vigorously rubbed against him. "He’s my first Beast Pet and your big brother. Once he comes out, he’ll teach you how to be a proper Beast Pet," Mu Can looked on faintly smiling, thinking to himself that once Xiao Fuqi emerges, he must teach this silly bird a lesson. "Master, I was wrong. Just now, what this monkey shouted was: the poor tiger has been defeated by the old Monkey King, now taken back to the cave as a captive." Although Xiao Hong looked down on Mu Can, he knew what Mu Can decided, Purple Cloud could not change; thus, Purple Cloud could only protect him a bit, but definitely couldn’t stop Mu Can from doing what he intended. "It’s useless now, I’m not curious about what he said," Mu Can replied seeing Xiao Hong’s nervous face, feeling secretly pleased, "You, stupid bird, have your day too." "Master, I was wrong," Seeing Mu Can still with a cold demeanor, Xiao Hong started sobbing and admitting his mistakes. "Let’s go." Mu Can signaled everyone to go back to the cave to taste the old Monkey King’s treasured collection. Seeing Purple Cloud, the previously arrogant poor tiger didn’t continue his arrogance and behaved like a good baby following behind Mu Can. He knew, if he wasn’t obedient, he couldn’t be sure whether this formidable and terrifying woman wouldn’t take action against him, so he had to keep a low profile. "It’s over, it’s totally over," Xiao Hong laid back on Purple Cloud’s shoulder, languidly muttering. The sudden emergence of Xiao Fuqi put immense pressure on Xiao Hong.
