Chapter 21 Holy crap, Flower Fruit Mountain has a river god too!?
At the foot of Huaguo Mountain.
A small river flows among the towering mountains, and looking up from the sound, a waterfall cascades down.
"Is this the cave dwelling where the Great Sage will live in the future?"
The hidden world within that waterfall will be an adventure for the Great Sage as he becomes the Monkey King.
Xiao Yangjiao suppressed her urge to go inside and investigate, thinking:
Once I've stored up more good stuff, I'll fill this place with treasures before the Monkey King is born, so he can be a Monkey King born into wealth!
Yang Jiao became friends with Nezha.
But Sun Wukong is still young, and he is everyone's childhood idol, which she admires even more.
That little monkey is so cute. If he fires a boss in the future, he'll be imprisoned for 500 years. Just be nice to him, what's wrong with that?
Xiao Yangjiao snorted at the sky.
He immediately stopped looking at the waterfall and walked past it.
Along the way, many monkeys leaped between the trees, and some of the more timid ones hid behind the trees when they saw strangers.
Monkeys, well, some are cute and some are awful.
Most monkeys are omnivores, eating both fruit and meat.
Seeing that Xiao Yangjiao was so small, many of the big monkeys were eager to come up and test her.
She didn't have time to deal with those people yet. As long as they didn't come looking for trouble, Xiao Yangjiao didn't want to kill two of the Monkey King's monkey offspring.
After searching along the river for a long time, it was already November, and even the peaches on Flower and Fruit Mountain were almost gone.
Finally, I saw two hanging on the tree. One was small and shrunken, and the other was full of wormholes.
Little Yang Jiao looked around, then sat down on the ground, exhausted. The little girl put her hands together and said:
"It's not that I won't pick peaches for you, it's just that there aren't any. You're not allowed to bully me after you become a saint."
Just as she finished speaking, Xiao Yangjiao, who was about to head home, felt a gust of wind descend from above her head.
She rolled to the side as she did so.
As soon as I looked up, I saw a huge brown monkey in the spot where I had just been sitting, staring at me with a fierce expression and squeaking incessantly.
The surrounding trees were filled with monkeys, eagerly waiting for a piece of meat, excitedly shaking the branches.
For a moment, the sounds of rustling and squeaking alternated.
Xiao Yangjiao glanced at it, took the jade branch out of her ear, and flicked it gently.
The jade branch instantly transformed into a cold jade staff, which slammed down at his feet.
Without hesitation, Yang Jiao, who took the initiative, began to act.
The little boy gripped the stick and charged toward the big monkey that had tried to ambush him earlier, even managing a beautiful flourish with the stick along the way.
"Take this from Old Yang!"
She leaped high into the air—well, more than a meter high…
He raised the stick and smashed it down on the monkey.
Before Brownie could react, he was unable to dodge and had one of his legs broken.
In an instant, apart from the beaten 'brother' still squeaking in pain, the monkeys in the other trees in the entire forest became as quiet as chickens.
Xiao Yangjiao glanced around.
He gave a soft hum.
She's practically a half-immortal, and she has quite a few magical treasures on her, so how could she be bullied by a monkey?
Do you really think all the monkeys on Flower Fruit Mountain are Sun Wukong?
Xiao Yangjiao grabbed the monkey that was trying to escape on three legs. Although she was not the best in terms of size, she used her brute strength to drag the monkey back.
A long claw mark immediately appeared on the ground...
She then stuck the stick into the ground.
He flipped over and pinned the monkey down, then unleashed a barrage of punches, each landing squarely.
One punch and he's a weirdo.
"Don't you even know what color you are? You'll only be a Class II protected animal in the future."
"Me! In modern times, I'd be a top-tier researcher who would be taken to a research institute for dissection and analysis!"
"Don't pretend to be the Monkey King just because you're a monkey. You're not as good-looking as him!"
After beating the monkey until it bled from its mouth and nose, and its head spun so badly it couldn't utter a sound, Xiao Yangjiao looked up and turned her evil gaze to the other monkeys.
As soon as she looked into it, all the monkeys scattered as if they had been struck by a plague.
They were terrified that if they ran too slow, they would be caught by this little devil.
Seeing this, Xiao Yangjiao did not stop, but fixed her gaze on the one that had been jumping the most on the tree earlier.
He pulled out the Jade Staff and swung it out with force.
The cold jade staff, accompanied by a whooshing sound, struck the monkey squarely in the back. With a screech, the monkey fell to the ground with a thud.
Xiao Yangjiao dragged the unconscious monkey with one hand and walked step by step toward it.
The monkey, who was waiting to eat the meat, was so frightened that it started digging in the dirt, preferring to dig all the way to the eighteenth level of hell rather than face this human girl.
"Chirp, chirp chirp!"
The claws were worn raw and bleeding, making them look particularly terrifying.
Xiao Yangjiao walked up to it, squatted down, and asked in a very kind and polite manner:
"Hello, do you know where I can get fresh peaches?"
The monkey froze, shaking its head wildly to indicate that it was isolated from other species and couldn't communicate with them.
Xiao Yangjiao thoughtfully switched to another language and asked again:
"Squeak, Peach, where is the squeak?"
It cowered, its digging claws halting.
His bewildered eyes seemed to be wondering why the words were flashing, and although he couldn't understand them, they felt strangely familiar.
Seeing this, Xiao Yangjiao was completely disappointed in it.
The conclusion drawn is that this monkey does not understand dialects.
"Since you can't understand words, I also know a little bit of martial arts."
Helpless, little Yang Jiao raised her chubby little fist, about to strike the monkey's head.
For some reason, the monkey suddenly seemed to have a sudden realization, its eyes widened, and one paw pointed frantically towards a ravine to the west.
"Squeak, chirp chirp chirp!"
"Eh..."
Xiao Yangjiao lowered her fist with some regret.
Chin slightly raised.
"lead the way."
It immediately got up and scrambled ahead, leading the way, carefully avoiding sharp stones.
"You're a quick learner. You don't need to thank me; at least you learned a foreign language from the blow."
This monkey, which suddenly understood human speech, rose to a higher status in the monkey troop after Xiao Yangjiao left!
Without going into details, it hopped and skipped for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, finally leading Xiao Yangjiao to a peach tree on the other side of the West Mountain.
The tree was enormous, with its canopy extending more than ten meters.
There are no peaches left on the branches of the trees on the land side, but several large and plump peaches are still hanging on the branches that extend to the river.
Perhaps because the tree grows right by the river, the peaches are juicy, white with a hint of red, and look very appealing hanging on it.
Little Yang Jiao watched with delight.
At least this trip wasn't a waste.
He immediately threw the monkey, which had been punched several times and was still semi-conscious, to it as well.
"Take it back with you."
She held back when she hit him, so the monkey will be back to its lively self tomorrow after lying down.
The released monkey immediately squeaked and pointed at the river as if trying to remind Xiao Yangjiao of something.
Unfortunately, she couldn't understand it.
Seeing that the monkey still had some conscience, Xiao Yangjiao generously placed the Jade Staff into its paw, squatted down, pointed to her own head, and said:
"Come on, why don't you hit me with a stick too? Maybe then I'll be able to understand what you're saying."
"Ha!"
The monkey was so frightened that it took several steps back, then looked at Xiao Yangjiao with the eyes of someone looking at a madman, and dragged its companion away.
"Hey, hey, why are you running so fast? I wanted to pick a peach for you."
Hearing the sound, the monkey ran even faster.
Xiao Yangjiao clicked her tongue and ignored it, her eyes fixed on the peaches hanging on the tree.
Not to mention that her mother wanted to eat it, just looking at it made her mouth water and she felt a little hungry.
"The peaches smell so good... one, two... there are eight in total..."
Xiao Yangjiao stood under the tree counting, and then, unable to contain her excitement, she grabbed the bark and began to crawl up the tree like a pupa.
Looking at the tree laden with peaches, I excitedly counted them on my fingers and began to distribute them:
"One for Father, one for Jiao'er, one for Mother, one for Jiao'er, one for Brother, one for Jiao'er... one for Jiao'er, one for Jiao'er!"
After the distribution was completed, we started picking peaches.
When she climbed to the branch that forked onto the other side of the river, she carefully tested it. The branch was thick and lush, with a vibrant green color, so there was no risk of it suddenly breaking off.
He immediately gripped the tree with all four limbs and crawled towards the other side of the river.
Despite climbing very carefully, the closer one got to the peaches, the more violently the branches shook.
Xiao Yangjiao's heart was in her throat. She finally managed to reach a fragrant peach by standing on tiptoe, but she lost her footing and it fell into the water.
With a splash, the peach, as big as her face, disappeared into the water.
"Ah, my peaches!"
She cried out in pain.
Xiao Yangjiao stretched out Erkang's hand towards the water.
Before she could even withdraw her hand...
Ripples appeared where the peach had fallen, eventually forming a vortex.
"Ok?"
She looked on curiously.
A moment later, the peach was slowly lifted up by a hand.
In the blink of an eye, a man with his hair tied in a low bun and wearing a light blue robe stood on the water.
Upon seeing the little girl, he narrowed his eyes and smiled very gently.
Then, he skillfully opened both arms and leaned towards her, asking:
"Young lady, did you drop this golden peach or this silver peach?"
"Holy crap, Flower Fruit Mountain has a river god too?"
