Chapter 728 The Well-behaved Monkey Among the Mischievous Monkeys
"Monkey King! Don't talk nonsense!"
Upon hearing the large monkey claim to be the Great Sage Equal to Heaven, the golden monkey's face flushed red, and it quickly tried to stop him.
"Please don't take offense, everyone. I just admire the Great Sage, so I call myself 'Old Sun'."
But I know I am not worthy of the title of Great Sage, so I have not chosen a name yet.
What brings you all to Mount Emei?
If you come with goodwill, I, Old Sun, on behalf of the entire Mount Emei, welcome you!
Then, the golden monkey politely cupped its hands in a gesture of respect, its words carrying a touch of antiquity, which was quite amusing.
"If you idolize the Great Sage, how do you view the Dragon Kingdom? How do you view the people of the Dragon Kingdom?"
Cangnian didn't state his purpose directly, but instead followed the golden monkey's self-introduction and asked with a smile.
He looked at the monkeys of Mount Emei and, while he was curious, they were not as unruly as the survivors of Chengdu had described!
Of course, it's possible that the Northeast Allied Army of the Dragon Kingdom was too strong, causing these mischievous monkeys to dare not show their unruly side.
"I was born in the Dragon Kingdom, I grew up in the Dragon Kingdom, the Dragon Kingdom is my home."
As for the humans of the Dragon Kingdom… before the spiritual energy revival, they took good care of me. I wonder why you ask this?”
The golden monkey spoke earnestly, then looked somewhat puzzled.
"Then why do you still allow your monkeys to go down the mountain to Chengdu to play and rob?"
Although there were no casualties, the survivors in Chengdu were so disturbed that they fled to the mountain city for refuge.
Even so, your bunch of monkeys still went to the mountain town to block people's gates, their thieving hearts still burning.
Tell me, don't say it didn't happen!
Cang Nian stopped beating around the bush and asked directly.
"This... I haven't been in charge of Mount Emei for long, and I don't know anything about what happened before. Monkey, do you think this is true? Why didn't you mention it before?"
The golden monkey frowned, then glanced at the big monkey and said in an unfriendly tone.
"Your Majesty! You didn't ask, and we forgot to mention it; it all happened a long time ago."
Since you came, we've all learned our lesson and haven't done that kind of thing again, I swear!
Upon being glanced at by the golden monkey, the big monkey immediately became guilty and began to stammer and make excuses.
"It seems that it really is true!"
I never imagined you guys were so unruly before!
Since that's the case, then go pick some fruits and vegetables from the mountain and go apologize to them.
"Whatever you stole back then, you'll pay back double! Do you hear me?"
Hearing this, the golden monkey shook its head in exasperation, then said in a firm tone.
"Your Majesty, how much did we rob back then...? It's been so long, we don't even remember!"
Besides, the spiritual energy has revived again, and everything outside has changed drastically. How can we possibly find the mountain city anymore?
Upon hearing this, the big monkey immediately made a bitter face.
"If you can't remember how much you stole, then send over all your food for the next month!"
Anyway, you're all at level four or five, you won't starve to death in a month or two!
As for how to find the mountain town...
"Fellow Daoist, may I ask how to address you?"
The golden monkey, holding a long stick, tapped the big monkey's head, then turned its head away, its face displaying a humble expression.
"Just call me Cangnian."
Cang Nian found the two monkeys quite interesting and casually replied.
"Fellow Daoist Cangnian knows about your misdeeds and must also know where Shancheng is now. Once you've prepared your apology, come with Fellow Daoist Cangnian to Shancheng to apologize!"
Fellow Daoist Cangnian, are you satisfied with this solution?
"The golden monkey said fiercely, then looked at Cang Nian and asked."
"Whether I am satisfied or not is not important; whether the victims in Chengdu are satisfied is what they should care about."
However, the survivors in Chengdu told me that they didn't hold a grudge against those mischievous monkeys and hoped that if I came, they would spare their lives if possible.
Cang Nian shook his head and conveyed the message from the survivors of Rongcheng.
"Very good, very good. The people of Chengdu are of noble character, which makes us ashamed."
However, while he may escape the death penalty, he cannot escape punishment!
I will definitely teach them a lesson!
The golden monkey, with an expression of admiration, clasped its hands in a gesture of respect.
Upon hearing this, the big monkey's already pained expression completely crumbled.
However, it dared not say anything and could only tremble in fear.
"Well, the grudge between Rongcheng and your bunch of monkeys is just incidental."
My main objective this time is to win you over.
Seeing that this matter was over, Cang Nian got straight to the point.
"Subdue?"
Upon hearing this, the originally humble golden monkey frowned, looked at Cangnian's group's incredibly luxurious setup, and became quite wary.
"The resurgence of spiritual energy has torn the Dragon Kingdom apart, resulting in the deaths of many people. People have spontaneously gathered together to form different survivor bases."
Now, the capital city is preparing to reunify the Dragon Kingdom.
With the revival of spiritual energy, we evolved beings have also become intelligent beings. As part of the Dragon Kingdom, we are also the target of being united and incorporated into the Dragon Kingdom system.
Let me add one more thing: we will inevitably face even stronger external enemies in the future. What we need now is not mountain kings who rule the mountains, but strong individuals who can contribute to the Dragon Kingdom in the future and shield the weak from external pressure.
Just like the Monkey King.
Cang Nian said calmly.
"You want to offer us amnesty?"
The golden monkey, having pieced together Cangnian's words according to its own understanding, then asked a question.
"You could say that, but don't treat this as if the Heavenly Court is granting amnesty to the Great Sage."
There are many strong people on Mount Emei, so your own strength must be quite good as well.
You will receive the respect you deserve, instead of being relegated to some lowly post. There's no need to be overly resistant.
Cang Nian nodded, then gave a heads-up.
This golden monkey idolizes Sun Wukong, so it's probably quite cultured, having memorized "Journey to the West" by heart.
Let's not let the words "recruitment and pacification" cause any unpleasantness.
"If we are to fight against foreign enemies together, then I will spare no effort. As long as you do not harm us, it is not impossible for me to be granted amnesty by you, but..."
The golden monkey's bright eyes darted back and forth, and after a moment of thought, it spoke seriously.
"But what?"
Just when he thought the matter had been resolved smoothly, he heard a "however," and Cang Nian raised an eyebrow and asked.
"However, you say it's about subduing them. As the current master of Mount Emei and the monkey king of the monkeys, I naturally cannot be subdued with just a few words."
The golden monkey's eyes shone brightly as it looked up at the old man, meeting his gaze without flinching.
"Oh, so you mean..."
Upon hearing this, Cang Nian raised the corner of his mouth and asked with amusement.
"If you can defeat me, then the entire Mount Emei will submit!"
If you cannot, you should submit to me!
The golden monkey raised its long staff, pointed one end at Cang Nian, and said in a booming voice.
As it spoke, its aura surged, like boiling water!
"Hmm? Peak fifth tier, interesting..."
"Then so be it, I'll make sure you're completely convinced!"
Sensing the imposing presence of the golden monkey, Cang Nian spoke in a loud voice.
