214: Chapter 214 Spirit Rice and Monkey Wine

Half a month passed in the blink of an eye.

During this period, Jianghai City sent a group of people to Ye Yang's territory to take away the mature Spirit Rice and sow the next batch.

Naturally, as per the previous promise, they left half of the mature Spirit Rice.

A few days later, the Monkey King brought the skipping human girl Hou Lingling to the peak of Divine Phoenix Mountain, carrying a large jar in his hand.

"Wow... what a beautiful big rooster!"

"Mmm! Lingling! This is the Boss! Don't talk nonsense!"

The Monkey King Wukong immediately lowered his head and roared at Hou Lingling, his furry monkey face baring its teeth. Coupled with that loud voice, it truly stunned the three-to-four-year-old girl Hou Lingling.

Because this was a rare instance of the Monkey King Wukong being fierce toward her, her lively eyes blinked a few times before she nodded.

Monkey King Wukong respectfully let out a roar toward the massive, terrifying figure behind him that was radiating heat.

"Roar... Boss, Hou Lingling is still a cub... please forgive her ignorance."

After saying this with his head lowered, Wukong the Monkey King began to feel nervous.

Why didn't he stay on the spiritual energy-rich mountain peak all the time like Xiong Er? Did he not want to stay in an environment with dense spiritual energy? Did he not want to receive guidance from the Boss? Did he not want to increase his evolution level faster?

No, he wanted all of that... he just endured it for the sake of the human cub Hou Lingling, whom he valued.

The reason was that he knew Hou Lingling was lively and active, and she couldn't always maintain respect for the Boss. She would definitely offend the Boss, so he stayed away from the mountain peak for long periods.

But he hadn't expected that this time, when he came up the mountain to offer a treasure to the Boss, Hou Lingling would offend the Boss as soon as she arrived... No! This wasn't just offending; this was an insult!

Calling the Boss a big rooster... how dare you, my little ancestor? In the heart of a powerful creature, this is undoubtedly a declaration of war!

Monkey King Wukong felt despair in his heart, already thinking about where to bury Hou Lingling.

"It's fine, I won't mind a human cub."

Hearing this, the head-lowered Monkey King Wukong looked up at Ye Yang with shock and joy.

"Roar! Thank you, Boss!"

Although Ye Yang had turned into an avian creature, he wasn't so narrow-minded. Besides, he knew this three-to-four-year-old girl didn't do it on purpose; it was just a trivial matter.

"Eh... this little girl has changed a lot."

Looking down, he saw that the three-to-four-year-old girl, perhaps due to the spiritual energy or the consumption of the dragon blood fruit, or both, had actually reached a height of forty to fifty centimeters. Her skin was ivory white, her cheeks were chubby, and her lively, spirited eyes were very endearing, making her look like an incredibly cute porcelain doll.

Of course, no matter how cute a girl was, she couldn't attract Ye Yang, whose aesthetics were becoming increasingly non-human. What attracted him was naturally something deeper.

He saw the white mist spiritual energy surrounding the little girl drawing closer to her and surging into her body, and the speed was not slow.

This instantly made Ye Yang's eyes light up.

"Even Yu Weiyue from Jianghai City doesn't have such a fast spiritual energy absorption efficiency. It must be the effect of the racial atavism from the dragon blood fruit. Now, this little girl Hou Lingling's absorption efficiency is even faster than before."

"I wonder if there are any changes on the system panel..."

"Detection Spell!"

As a golden light flashed deep in his eyes, a panel appeared in his mind.

Race: Spirit Race

Evolution Level: E+

Bloodline: Spirit of All Things (Unawakened)

Talent: Hundred Meridians Connection, Spirit Body (Unawakened) ???

Mental Power Level: E+

Mental Skills: ??? (Unawakened)

Skill: Spirit Race Breathing Technique (Small Success)

Ye Yang's memory was excellent, and he quickly recalled that the little girl Hou Lingling's attribute panel hadn't changed much from before.

Her evolution level had increased by a small stage, her talent 'Hundred Meridians Connection' had awakened, and finally, the proficiency level of the Spirit Race Breathing Technique had increased by one level.

Although the changes weren't huge, they still shocked Ye Yang somewhat.

"Is it because of the racial atavism caused by the dragon blood fruit... or is this little girl's own talent remarkable?"

One must know that although increasing evolution levels and awakening talents and power seemed as simple as eating and drinking for Ye Yang, the prerequisite was that he had the help of the system.

He was an exception and couldn't be compared with the little girl Hou Lingling.

But if one compared the humans of Jianghai City with Hou Lingling... then Hou Lingling was quite terrifying...

Also being a human of Jianghai City, Hou Lingling's evolution level was the highest he had seen among them. Moreover, Hou Lingling's evolution level was already 'E+'; one more level and she would reach 'D-'!

A 'D-' level evolved creature could be considered a little superman, with super sensory abilities and an aura of Intimidation. This had always been the goal of the Great Xia Kingdom's spiritual energy cultivation system.

If they knew that there was a little girl less than five years old who was about to reach their intended goal, he wondered what they would think...

...

Returning to the present.

To prevent the little girl Hou Lingling from provoking Ye Yang, the Monkey King Wukong handed her over to Little White Fox Ah Li, who was playing with a phone, to look after.

Meanwhile, he proceeded with his purpose for this visit.

"Wukong... you say this is Monkey Wine you personally brewed using Spirit Rice?"

Ye Yang was a bit surprised looking at the three-to-four-meter-tall large jar, not expecting it to contain Spirit Rice Monkey Wine personally brewed by the Monkey King Wukong.

"Why would a monkey suddenly think of brewing wine?"

After asking for the reason, Ye Yang found out that when the humans of Jianghai City had sent personnel to the outskirts of Jianghai City to build Divine Phoenix Mountain, one of the active Golden Snub-nosed Monkeys under the Monkey King Wukong had quietly stolen someone's wine bottle. Since then, the Golden Snub-nosed Monkey tribe had fallen in love with the taste of wine.

For this reason, the Monkey King Wukong had specifically given up spirit fruit to learn brewing techniques from the people of Jianghai City...

After hearing all this, Ye Yang was a bit speechless and didn't know what to say.

Looking helplessly at the Monkey King before him, he thought, you are a monkey with a burly and powerful build and a pair of large hands capable of fighting; you are a naturally powerful warrior, yet you are either obsessed with babysitting or fond of brewing wine...

Then he turned to look at Xiong Er, who was hugging white jade bamboo and sleeping soundly...

"Sigh... it seems Xiong Da is more reliable, always pursuing power. These other two have their talent points in the wrong places."

"Roar... Boss, aren't you going to drink?"

Originally, Ye Yang didn't want to drink. He had become a bird; could he really change his disposition from his previous life of not liking to drink?

But seeing those yellow pupils filled with hope and a desire for recognition, he finally lowered his head into the large jar and took a sip...

"Hiss... so refreshing. This taste is just too much."

It was fragrant and slightly sweet, with a lingering aftertaste mixed with the unique mellow aroma of wine. This flavor really went to his head a bit...
