Chapter 2723: Monkey Wine
If anyone saw this scene, they would be amazed. The fierce beasts in this place actually surrounded the area and watched, but didn’t dare to take a step forward. One of the golden monkeys even jumped up to the tree and swung on the tree vines with a few fruits it held with one hand against its chest, which it threw to Feng Jiu, then it jumped back up onto the tree and blinked at her.
When she saw the fruit that suddenly dropped, Feng Jiu was startled. She glanced at the monkey, then she picked up the fruit and wiped it clean and took a bite. Her eyes narrowed at the sweet and crisp taste of the fruit, and she said to the monkey: “Thank you.”
“Squeak, squeak.”
The monkey appeared to be very happy and scratched its body in its delight. Then, it jumped up and climbed along the branch and swung away. After a while, it came back with more fruit for Feng Jiu.
“Huh? Different types of fruit? Are there fruit trees here?” Feng Jiu asked in surprise as she looked at the golden monkey squatting at the side. It seemed that the monkey was no longer afraid of her. It didn’t leave after it had delivered the fruits, but squatted there and looked at her.
Silver Ingot glanced at the monkey before saying to Feng Jiu: “Master, there is a cliff about five hundred metres away from here. There are some wild fruits growing on the mountainside of the cliff. This monkey has probably gone there to pick them.”
“Oh.” Feng Jiu nodded, then she put the fruits in front of her and said: “These fruits are quite delicious.”
She said to the monkey: “Go and pick some more and I will reward you with a medicinal pill.”
As soon as the monkey heard it, it squeaked and ran away and danced on the tree branches screaming. Gradually, it was as if the sounds of monkeys in the forest increased.
Feng Jiu smiled as she took out some spices and sprinkled it on the roast meat. She sliced a piece with a knife and tasted it, then she sliced another piece for the wolf. While she was eating the roast meat, the golden monkey came back. But what was different this time was that it was followed by dozens of monkeys each holding fresh fruit in their arms.
…
Feng Jiu watched in astonishment as the monkeys lined up to put the fresh fruit down, then walked in front of her orderly and jumped up to the tree and squatted there. Finally, a few stronger monkeys brought a large vat and put it down in front of her. The golden monkey jumped up and down and screamed pointing at the big vat, then looked expectantly at Feng Jiu.
When she saw this, her heart moved, could it be…
She stood up and lifted the lid of the big vat and smelled the strong aroma of the wine wafting out. She couldn’t help but take a deep breath and inhaled the strong aroma scent into her body.
“What a fragrant monkey wine!”
Surprise burst into her eyes, and her face burst into a smile. She took a small wine gla.s.s out from s.p.a.ce, then she scooped a gla.s.s of wine and tasted it. The rich spirit energy swayed at the tip of her tongue along with the mellow wine aroma. As she swallowed the wine, a burning sensation ignited in her body.
“It’s indeed the highest quality of monkey wine!” She chuckled, then looked at the golden monkey and said: “I was originally only going to give you an ordinary medicinal pill, but since you have brought me such good monkey wine, naturally, I have to give you a decent gift in return.”
She thought for a while, then she looked at the golden monkey and said: “How about I help you advance in cultivation?” She chuckled, then took out a medicinal pill from s.p.a.ce and handed it to the golden monkey.
