Food gives me an entry, I will be invincible if I stay alive

Chapter 228 Monkey's Good Wine

From the dense forest on the east side of the mountain peak, a "squeak" seemed to come from.

Wei Yuan was so nervous that the soft quills on his forehead stood on end again.

Having experienced being arrested, although its original intentions remained unchanged, it still learned a lesson and is now much more vigilant throughout the Demon Heart.

Before Chen Xu could utter a sound, its entire body was covered in sharp spikes standing on end.

Once it senses something is wrong, it will activate its earth-遁 (earth-遁 is a technique used in Chinese fantasy novels) to escape with Fellow Daoist Chen!

But I could hear the gentle rustling of the wind and the soft whispering of the pines.

Apart from the creak just now, no other sounds came from the forest.

No, there seems to be birdsong and wind in the distance.

Occasionally, a rustling sound would make the entire mountain seem alive.

Wei Yuan was both shocked and furious, and shouted again, "Who is it! Show yourself, or else I will not be polite to you!"

As it spoke, it even reached into the book box to retrieve a talisman.

Just then, Chen Xu suddenly flicked his palm lightly.

As the palm was swung out, the mountain breeze suddenly howled like waves, and the pine forest on the east side abruptly and neatly fell down the hillside.

The gentle breeze turned into a raging storm.

There was a squeak.

The creature hiding in the pine forest could no longer conceal itself; it leaped forward and tumbled violently to the ground.

The little creature was about two feet tall, with brownish-gray fur all over its body. As soon as it landed, it suddenly jumped up again and hurriedly tried to dart into the dense forest.

But now that it has appeared, how could it possibly escape Chen Xu's pursuit?
Chen Xu remained seated, merely waving his hand lightly in the air.

The howling wind transformed into a long rope, suddenly swirling and pulling.

The fleeing creature lost control of its body, squeaking and squeaking in mid-air before flying backwards to Chen Xu's side.

boom!
The little creature was swept to the ground by the strong wind. It was in pain and panicked. It tried to turn over and escape, but it was held down by the wind and could not move at all.

It could only tilt its head back, squeak and shrink on the ground, looking pitifully at Chen Xu and Wei Yuan.

Hey, it turns out it's just a little monkey.

Its monkey face was delicate, with chubby cheeks, a pair of round ears standing upright on its head, and soft, thick fur all over its body, making it look rather pretty and cute.

Wei Yuan was stunned for a moment, and then felt a little embarrassed.

If we were to treat such a harmless little monkey as a major threat, it would seem like we were making a mountain out of a molehill.

But the little hedgehog had just learned its lesson, so it couldn't say for sure that the little monkey was harmless.

It remained silent, simply waiting for Chen Xu to take action.

Chen Xu's cultivation was so high that it had left Wei Yuan with the impression that he was "unapproachable".

Therefore, Wei Yuan felt ashamed of his earlier thought of "escaping" with Chen Xu. He was only glad that he had only thought about it in his mind and had not shown anything in his words or actions.

Otherwise, wouldn't we make a fool of ourselves?
"Squeak squeak squeak!" The little monkey shrank on the ground. Seeing that its pitiful cries did not attract any sympathy, it hurriedly arched its two furry arms again.

It cupped its hands and pitifully begged Chen Xu for mercy.

Seeing that Chen Xu remained unmoved, it panicked and stammered out a few words in human language: "Immortal... Immortal Master... Spare... Spare my life!"

Hey, this little monkey is actually a little demon who can speak human language.

Yes, it possessed a faint demonic aura, unlike an ordinary wild monkey from the mountains. Otherwise, Wei Yuan wouldn't have been so nervous when he sensed its presence.

Seeing that the monkey was so anxious that it was speaking human language, Chen Xu said slowly, "I am not an immortal, my surname is Chen. May I ask what brings you to be watching from that forest for so long?"

It turned out that Chen Xu had already discovered that the monkey was spying on him in the forest.

Mo Yue began when he boiled the green needle grass.

However, since the other party was only spying and had not taken any concrete action, Chen Xu decided to remain unchanged and pretend that the other party did not exist for the time being.

Now that the little monkey has been exposed, Chen Xu simply asked the question directly.

But then the little monkey scratched its face anxiously and tilted its head, as if trying to understand the meaning of Chen Xu's question.

After a long pause, the little monkey finally seemed to realize what was happening and hurriedly said, "I...I...have met...have met Young Master Chen!"

After uttering these words, the little monkey also let out a long breath.

It seemed to have accomplished something remarkable, and happily scratched its face before turning its head to look at the stove and earthenware jar with a longing gaze.

"I...I smell a fragrance! A different fragrance, so fragrant, I...I want it! I'll trade you fruit, fruit, for it!"

It spoke with difficulty, its language somewhat incoherent, each word seeming to require all its strength.

Fortunately, both Chen Xu and Wei Yuan understood its meaning.

The most interesting thing is that just as the little monkey exclaimed "It smells so good," the Book of Food opened and immediately recorded a line of praise.

【Like +30】

The little monkey exclaimed "It smells so good!" and gave Chen Xu thirty likes.

The Food Cauldron Heavenly Book reported that the little monkey's base like limit was 30 points, while the spiritual food's like limit was 260 points.

This little monkey is a rather weak demon, not even as powerful as the newly sentient Azure Eagle. In Chen Xu's eyes now, this little monkey is practically harmless.

Chen Xu found it very interesting; he hadn't expected that simply boiling some green needle grass on the mountain would attract a little demon.

He replied to the little monkey, "I have an urgent use for this pot of green needle grass soup, so I cannot exchange it with you."

As he spoke, he got up and walked back to the stove.

The green needle grass has been simmered over a low flame for about fifteen minutes, and it's almost done cooking now.

The little monkey became anxious and hurriedly said, "Then I'll get some wine, I have good wine... I'll exchange this soup for good wine!"

As it spoke, a human-like expression of pride appeared on its delicate face.

It's clear that it truly believes its wine is the best in the world.

Chen Xu found it increasingly interesting that a little monkey demon, who couldn't even speak human language fluently, actually had some good wine on hand.
He didn't covet the other person's wine; instead, he flipped his hand and tossed a small bamboo tube to the little monkey.

The bamboo tube contained not Drunken Spirit Wine, but diluted Joyful Sorrow Wine.

Chen Xu, wanting to test the monkey, chuckled and said, "Good wine? I have no shortage of good wine. This is the worst wine I have. Try it and see how it compares to your wine."

The little monkey was stunned. It didn't expect that instead of being able to exchange its wine, it would get a whole tub of wine from the other party.

The strong wind that had been suppressing the little monkey had completely dissipated at some point. The little monkey, holding the bamboo tube, sat up abruptly, its eyes bulging, and stammered:

"You...you compared the worst wine to my wine..."

It looked angry, pulled out the stopper of the bamboo tube, and took a big gulp of the wine inside.

Then the little monkey's eyes widened, and it started squeaking and squeaking.
