Chapter 136: The Sixth Ancestor’s Doubtful Life (Part 3)

At this moment, everyone's gazes all turned uniformly toward Baicao…

At this time, the small figure beside Monkey Head visibly froze for a moment, to the extent that the flapping speed of its three pairs of small wings slowed down…

Gaze after gaze gathered on Baicao, and the air around Baicao's body froze slightly.

After a few breaths…

Baicao finally couldn't help speaking up, saying, "Y… You guys need something?"

…

"Why are you all looking at me with that kind of gaze…?"

At this moment, Li He crossed his arms, hugged his shoulders, and looked at Baicao with a scrutinizing gaze, saying, "Baicao, what did you do to this monkey?

Why do I feel like this monkey seems a bit afraid of you?

Hmm hmph?"

Looking at Baicao's sharp gaze, Monkey Head leaned a bit toward the direction where Li He was…

At this time, Baicao wore an arrogant and spoiled expression, shouting unhappily at Monkey Head, "You!

Yes, it's you!

You timid, sneaky monkey!

Tell me what I did to you!

Did I abuse you?

…

From beginning to end, did I just engage in a few friendly play sessions with you?

Look at yourself now; besides shedding a bit of fur, isn't your entire body completely intact?

Hmm hmph?

Isn't that right?"

At this moment, the gaze Baicao directed at Monkey Head carried a trace of threat…

Listening to Baicao's voice and looking at that slightly threatening gaze from Baicao, Monkey Head swallowed hard and braced itself to say, "Right!

That's right!

What this lord said is right!

It… It… It just engaged in a f-f-friendly p-p-play session with me!

…

The fur on my… my body… coming off in patches is… is because… I… I have reached my shedding season!

Th-This is a normal phenomenon!"

Finishing these words intermittently seemed to drain all the strength from Monkey Head's body, causing it to wobble a bit even while standing normally…

…

Its face wore a mask of grief and indignation, crystal-clear tears swirling in its eye sockets, and its depressed corners of the mouth tightly pursed…

At this moment, seeing Monkey Head like this, everyone present shared a tacit understanding, vaguely guessing the truth behind why Monkey Head was being so obedient and well-behaved…

Sixth Ancestor couldn't stop exclaiming on the side, muttering with a doubtful life, "C-Can it even be done like this?!

Th-This kind of method… can also tame beasts?!

So that's how it is, so that's how it is!

Baicao plays the bad cop, Heer plays the good cop, the two of them singing in harmony, hitting with a stick and then giving a sweet date.

So that's how it is, so that's how it is!

To deal with such unruly, arrogant, and self-conceited exotic beasts, one just has to do it this way!

To completely crush it both physically and psychologically!"

Meanwhile…

Listening to Baicao's baffling reply, Li He continued to stand in place, looking at Baicao with a scrutinizing gaze.

Feeling Li He's gaze, Baicao swallowed hard, a drop of cold sweat uncontrollably sliding down its forehead…

The air in the arena gradually took on a hint of tension…

After a few breaths…

Li He slightly opened his mouth to say, "Baicao! Oh Baicao!

I know you wanted to make this monkey behave, but although using violence alone can solve the problem, it still sounds bad if word gets out!

The death penalty can be avoided, but the living punishment is inescapable!

This time, I will punish you…"

Listening to Li He's previous words, the atmosphere in the arena instantly became even more tense.

Baicao hung suspended in mid-air with a wronged expression, tears continually swirling in its eye sockets, its lips tightly pursed…

As for Monkey Head on the side, the excited expression on its face was almost impossible to suppress…

It looked at Li He with an anticipatory expression, even its ears pricking up, afraid of missing whatever Li He was about to say next. After all, this was going to punish the chief culprit who had brutally beaten it today!

Looking at Baicao's wronged expression, the smile on Monkey Head's face at this moment was almost impossible to suppress. If this continued, the muscles on Monkey Head's face would likely start twitching!

In the distance, the Four Divine Beasts looked at the pitifully wronged Baicao, and suddenly an overflow of sympathy welled up within them.

The youngest Xiaoxiao said with a distressed expression, "The Saint wants to punish Baicao even for this!

How cute Baicao is! It's so small, even if it really hit that darn monkey, how much could it possibly hurt?

Didn't that monkey just lose a bit of fur?

There isn't even a single wound or swelling anywhere on its body.

Just like this, and the Saint still wants to punish it!

That's really going too far!"

The Four Divine Beasts chattered away in the distance, implying in their words that Monkey Head wasn't beaten to death anyway, so let's just drop this matter!

…

After a few breaths…

Amidst everyone's tense gazes, Li He slowly opened his mouth: "The death penalty can be avoided, but the living punishment is inescapable!

You beat this Monkey Head into such a state!

This time, I punish you!

Starting today! You are not allowed to eat lunch!

Did you hear me?!"

In an instant…

Baicao suddenly raised its head, saying with an incredible, crying tone, "B-But… it's already nighttime now!

Lunch was already eaten long ago!"

…

Li He: "Ah?

Is that so?

Th-Th-Then I will punish you… Um… punish you by not allowing you to eat dinner!"

"Oh, alright then!"

Hearing Li He's such inhuman punishment, Baicao lowered its head in disappointment…

Baicao's soul-stirringly pitiful appearance at this moment truly firmly gripped Xiaoxiao's heart!

Xiaoxiao pulled on the sleeve of Big Sister Azure Dragon, saying with an indignant expression, "Big Sister Azure Dragon, look at the Saint, it's really going too far!

This darn monkey didn't even die, yet he's punishing Baicao like this!

Not letting it eat dinner!

It's truly inhuman!

This is too much!

Baicao is truly so pitiful!"

Meanwhile…

Listening to Li He's words, Monkey Head froze in place in disbelief, the smile on its face slowly and gradually disappearing…

…
