The next morning, the monkey came to find Hao Ren, bringing a lotus leaf package.
Hao Ren held no hope for it.
If ginseng and lingzhi were so hard to find, and the monkey had searched for so long, it was impossible for it to find He Shou Wu, absolutely impossible... Whoa, what the heck is that?
When the monkey opened the lotus leaf package, Hao Ren was startled. He actually saw... He Shou Wu!
That's right, it was He Shou Wu!
He almost thought he was mistaken, and pinched the little spirit monkey king hard. The little spirit monkey king yelped in pain, "Jeejee," Hmm, it wasn't a dream, all of this was real!
Someone might ask why Hao Ren pinched the monkey and not himself. Hehe, pinching himself would hurt so much, pinching the monkey wouldn't!
Hehe...
Regardless, obtaining "He Shou Wu" was a good thing. Hao Ren happily put away the "He Shou Wu" and promised to lend the "Wu Xiang Staff" to the little spirit monkey king for another day.
The little spirit monkey king wasn't very enthusiastic upon hearing this. It was listless, looking "troubled."
What's wrong with the monkey?
Even the "Wu Xiang Staff" couldn't interest it. Could it be heartbroken?
Hao Ren thought to himself, Oh, hehe, that's great, cough cough... No, that's unfortunate, I express my deepest regrets, hehe.
Out of humanitarian spirit, Hao Ren asked the monkey what had happened.
The monkey gestured wildly. Hao Ren roughly understood, it said Yun Zhaozhao was gone and hadn't come to play with it for several days.
Yun Zhaozhao was exploring the "Ancient Immortal Sect Ruins," so of course she couldn't come out to play with the monkey.
Because the "Ancient Immortal Sect Ruins" were of great importance, Yun Zhenting had issued a "gag order." Yun Zhaozhao hadn't had time to bid farewell to the monkey before being taken into the "Ancient Immortal Sect Ruins" by the Yun family cultivators.
The monkey didn't know what happened and only thought Yun Zhaozhao had disappeared, feeling very dejected.
Seeing the dead monkey looking so miserable, Hao Ren felt a pang of sympathy. So, he told the monkey Yun Zhaozhao's whereabouts... Don't misunderstand, he was doing this truly from a "humanitarian" perspective, absolutely not to see Yun Zhaozhao, the monkey, and Wang Dong's "melodramatic love triangle," absolutely not!
Upon learning Yun Zhaozhao's whereabouts, the monkey was overjoyed. It grinned foolishly and left in high spirits.
Not long after, Hao Ren saw the monkey's status information in the system messages.
[Beep! Your friend "Little Spirit Monkey King" has entered the "Ancient Immortal Sect Ruins."]
[Beep! Your friend "Little Spirit Monkey King" is trapped by the "Immortal Sect Mountain Protection Array," fate uncertain.]
[Beep! Your friend "Little Spirit Monkey King" was saved by the mountain protecting divine beast "Tuo Bei Long Yuan," luck greatly increased.]
[Beep! Your friend "Little Spirit Monkey King" was favored by "Tuo Bei Long Yuan" and allowed to comprehend the "Nameless Heavenly Tablet" carried by "Tuo Bei Long Yuan."]
[Beep! Your friend "Little Spirit Monkey King" is comprehending the "Nameless Heavenly Tablet."]
...
The "Ancient Immortal Sect Ruins" mini-dungeon was indeed dangerous. The monkey almost died.
However, is this dead monkey really holding the "protagonist's script"? Falling into a life-or-death crisis and being saved by a divine beast, and then, without batting an eye, the divine beast imparts powerful cultivation techniques. This is the treatment only a protagonist receives!
Hao Ren.
￣へ￣
Damn it, I'm actually starting to envy the monkey a little!
...
The next morning, Hao Ren woke up to the gentle calls of Little Dragon Girl.
"Master, time to get up!"
Her voice was delicate and melodious, never tiring to listen to.
As soon as he opened his eyes, Hao Ren saw Little Dragon Girl's beautiful face, and his mood immediately brightened.
Whether it was an illusion or some other reason, he felt that Little Dragon Girl had been growing bigger lately...
How to describe it?
Ah! The ocean, you are truly so vast, so, so...
What a poem, what a poem!
I am truly an artistic poet!
Hahaha...
After Hao Ren got up, Little Dragon Girl naturally walked behind him and began to massage his shoulders and back.
Little Dragon Girl's technique was peculiar and profound.
At first, Hao Ren didn't think much of it, just that Little Dragon Girl had good massage skills and felt very comfortable being massaged by her.
However, over the past few days, Hao Ren realized that things were not that simple.
As Little Dragon Girl massaged him, streams of spiritual energy from heaven and earth continuously flowed into his body. This spiritual energy entered his meridians and dantian, constantly strengthening Hao Ren's cultivation.
Hao Ren could feel that his cultivation speed had been increasing faster and faster recently.
Moreover, his dantian seemed to have undergone some very peculiar and profound changes...
This made Hao Ren very satisfied.
Therefore, Hao Ren had Little Dragon Girl give him massages every day.
Besides massages, Hao Ren also routinely "brainwashed" Little Dragon Girl.
"Little Dragon Girl, today I'll teach you a new song! Come, I'll sing a line, you sing a line!"
Hao Ren: "I am the light..."
Little Dragon Girl: "Master is the light!"
Hao Ren: "I am the electricity..."
Little Dragon Girl: "Master is the electricity!"
Hao Ren: "I am the only myth..."
Little Dragon Girl: "Master is the only myth!"
...
Hao Ren's singing was still as awful as ever, like a ghost wailing and a wolf howling, infuriating gods and men!
However, Little Dragon Girl was exceptionally talented. Her singing was like a clear spring in a secluded valley, pleasant to the ears, with an ethereal artistic conception!
"Master is the light, Master is the electricity, Master is the only myth!"
Little Dragon Girl had to sing it a hundred times a day!
Professional brainwashing!
Hao Ren believed that with such persistent "brainwashing," even if Little Dragon Girl recovered her memories later, she would still regard him as the "only myth," hehehe...
Besides daily "brainwashing," Hao Ren also wanted to obtain treasures from Little Dragon Girl.
Little Dragon Girl was a Golden Core great cultivator, so she must have many magic treasures, elixirs, and cultivation techniques.
In Hao Ren's eyes, she was a walking treasure trove.
On the first day of "finding" Little Dragon Girl, Hao Ren asked her if she had a storage bag.
Generally speaking, cultivators would carry their good items with them, storing them in storage bags or more advanced storage magic treasures.
Little Dragon Girl looked bewildered and shook her head.
She didn't know what a storage bag was.
Hao Ren considered that storage bags were too low-level, and a Golden Core great cultivator like Little Dragon Girl should be using a more advanced storage magic treasure, so he asked again.
"What about a spatial ring? Give me your spatial ring!"
Little Dragon Girl looked bewildered and shook her head.
She didn't know what a spatial ring was.
"Spatial bracelet, you must have a spatial bracelet, right?"
Little Dragon Girl looked bewildered and shook her head.
She didn't know what a spatial bracelet was.
Hao Ren was truly defeated.
However, he was not resigned to it.
As a "cautious cultivator" who never gives up, how could he just give up like this?
So, Hao Ren began... searching her body!
That's right, he started to search Little Dragon Girl's body.
Little Dragon Girl's hands... no spatial rings, no spatial bracelets.
Little Dragon Girl's feet... no spatial foot rings.
Little Dragon Girl's slender waist... no storage bag, uh, her waist is so slender, so soft, hehe, hehehe!
