Chapter 67 The New Monkey King
Although the Monkey King didn't know what "good looks" meant, he knew what "ugly" meant and that the other party was insulting him. So, he was really angry. After all, as the Monkey King, he was the idol of countless female monkeys, but now he was being disliked by a little female monkey. This was a disgrace, an utter disgrace. He had to beat this female monkey down today and make her kneel under his intimidation.
People are prone to making mistakes when they are in a hurry, and monkeys will make mistakes when they are in a hurry, especially since the monkey king is also irritable.
Sixteen wanted this effect, dodging with his agile body while making even more noise with his mouth.
The monkey king grew increasingly violent, using more and more force. Many trees were snapped in half with a single swipe of its claw, and the surrounding monkeys were terrified and kept their distance, knowing that if they were accidentally struck, they would surely die.
However, being irritable requires physical strength, and it only lasted for about half an hour before the Monkey King's movements slowed down.
"Is that all you've got? With this little bit of skill, what makes you think you can be the Monkey King? Hurry up and step down..." Sixteen launched another psychological offensive, chattering on and on.
The Monkey King sprang up again, but this time he only managed a few swings before collapsing to the ground.
"Is this too late?" Sixteen, seeing that the time was right, jumped down from the tree. "Then it's my turn to be the new Monkey King." With that, he leaped up and slapped the Monkey King on the head.
The Monkey King was stunned by the attack.
The other monkeys were also bewildered.
Sixteen, however, was very clear-headed. This was a golden opportunity that wouldn't come again, so he jumped onto the Monkey King's shoulder and started patting the Monkey King's big head.
The Monkey King howled as it was slapped, trying to shake off Sixteen, but it had already exhausted too much energy and had no strength left. In the end, it could only jump around futilely a couple of times, but it was unable to shake Sixteen off its shoulder or dodge the monkey's claws.
Sixteen, his arms were so tired they were about to cramp, and the enormous monkey king finally let out a wail, then covered his disfigured face and collapsed to the ground.
The surrounding monkeys were dumbfounded, but there were also loyal supporters of the monkey king. Seeing that the monkey king had suffered a loss, they rushed over to take revenge.
Sixteen was wary of the Monkey King, but not so much of the other monkeys. It grabbed a stick and hit each one that came at it. Moreover, it used to be a system and was very familiar with all sorts of things, such as acupoints on the human body, or rather, acupoints on the monkeys. So, it specifically targeted vulnerable spots to hit.
Finally, the entire troop of monkeys began to wail in despair.
[The monkeys must be exhausted.] Sixteen finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that no more monkeys were rushing up.
The other monkeys that hadn't rushed forward dared not move.
"Should I step down?" Sixteen looked at the Monkey King.
The Monkey King whimpered, but because his face was swollen from the beating, he couldn't express himself clearly.
[If you can't explain it clearly, just nod or shake your head.] Sixteen slapped the Monkey King again.
The Monkey King hurriedly nodded; if he didn't, he wouldn't live much longer.
Sixteen then looked at the monkeys around him: "Will you obey?"
Dozens of monkeys around them hurriedly nodded in agreement. The monkey king had already abdicated, so what were they still insisting on?
Sixteen was overjoyed: "From now on, I'm your new Monkey King. As long as you listen to me, I guarantee you'll live a life of luxury."
The monkeys scratched their heads. "Eating and drinking well? There are too many ferocious beasts in Qinglong Mountain. Their living space has been constantly being encroached upon. They used to have four mountain peaks and hundreds of monkeys. But now? Only two mountain peaks are left, and the number of monkeys has dwindled to just a few dozen."
What else can be fragrant or spicy?
But since this little female monkey has said so, should we believe her?
Thus, Sixteen became the new monkey king of one of the small monkey groups in Qinglong Mountain.
Yunyi had no idea that Sixteen had been causing such a ruckus in the mountains. At this moment, she returned home and handed the things she had bought to Jia Xiucai.
Jia Xiucai knew all too well the value of these things. Could a farmer really afford this? But seeing Yun Yina's calm and collected demeanor, he suppressed his shock and began preparing the content for his lesson to the children.
He had met all seven children and inquired about their studies, so he had a general idea of their situation. At least his eldest son had read the Three Hundred Character Classic and could even write characters.
Er Ya and San Ya can read, although they haven't studied systematically, they still have a basic understanding.
The other four are the ones I've just started learning about.
"Uncle Scholar, there's something I need to tell you in advance. Other children from the village might be coming over, and then..."
"It's okay, it's a good thing that someone is willing to study."
"If there are many people, I will increase your tuition fee..."
"No need, you've already given me more than enough." Scholar Jia hurriedly waved his hand. "Even the teachers in town don't receive this treatment. It's just a matter of teaching a few more students."
Yunyi didn't say much.
Just then, Siya ran over: "Mom, someone's here outside."
Yunyi went outside and found Xia Zhuzi and Xia Xiuxiu talking to Da Bao and the others. Seeing Yunyi approach, they immediately smiled and ran over: "Sister Yunyi..."
"You can't call her 'sister'!" Er Ya immediately bristled. "We call her 'stepmother,' and you call her 'sister'? What kind of logic is that?"
Xia Zhuzi and Xia Xiuxiu immediately became uneasy.
Yunyi smiled and said, "Erya is right. You can call her Auntie or Auntie from now on."
Er Ya's eyes flickered, seemingly surprised that Yun Yi would agree with her, but she quickly lowered her gaze.
"Aunt Yun," Xia Xiuxiu said first, changing her address. "These are vegetables I grew at home. They're not worth much, but they can help you with your vegetables." She had told her mother yesterday that Aunt Yun had accepted her nets. Her mother was so excited that she cried, thinking that they knew that Aunt Yun was helping them, since they couldn't sell them at all in town before.
“Mine has one too.” Xia Zhuzi hurriedly pushed his basket forward as well.
"Okay." Yunyi glanced at it; it was just cabbage and eggplant, so she didn't refuse. "Thank you."
The two little ones laughed.
"Xiuxiu, since you're here today, take the silk thread I bought back with you. You can make the knots yourself, as long as they're delicate and pretty, big or small." Yunyi handed over the colorful silk thread she bought. "Bring them over when they're done. If I'm not here, find Erya and Sanya, they'll settle your wages."
"Okay, I'll definitely make the most beautiful knot." Xia Xiuxiu's eyes reddened with excitement.
Xia Zhuzi then took out the two little trinkets she had made that day: one was a lifelike oriole, and the other was a small cage with two crickets inside. They were more exquisite, beautiful, and creative than the ones she had made yesterday, and it was clear that she had put a lot of thought into them.
