AMSSO-Chapter 229: Win-Win Situation

When the Monkey King woke up, it bared its teeth and shook its head, its eyes dazed, clearly not in good condition.

The other monkeys hadn’t woken up yet and were still lying on the ground groaning, but the frequency of their groans had decreased, and their flailing movements had lessened.

“Woo woo woo~” Seeing Mu Shiyue on the bank, the Monkey King quickly climbed up from below.

During the process, its body swayed, almost falling down again.

Everyone watching its movements was almost startled.

“The Monkey King’s ability…”

Everyone looked at each other, their faces full of disbelief.

The Monkey King was a fourth-rank spirit beast!

Not to mention climbing up from a pit a few meters deep, even climbing a hundred-meter-tall tree would only take the blink of an eye.

But now, it seemed as if its power had completely vanished, even a few meters of height was a challenge.

Fortunately, the Monkey King’s movements gradually regained agility, and it quickly climbed up.

It ran to Mu Shiyue and gestured wildly at her, spittle flying, extremely agitated.

As it gestured, Mu Shiyue’s expression grew more and more speechless.

“What’s going on?”

Everyone looked toward Chu Jingzhuo.

Chu Jingzhuo’s expression was also indescribable as he tried to understand the Monkey King’s meaning through Xiao Qing.

The Monkey King was too agitated, and Xiao Qing couldn’t keep up with its meaning for a moment.

Fortunately, Chu Jingzhuo was clever and from the fragmented information Xiao Qing conveyed and the monkeys’ earlier reactions, he roughly understood the Monkey King’s meaning.

“It should be that the brewed wine had a problem. After drinking it, their reactions were all very severe,” Chu Jingzhuo explained. “It’s complaining to master right now.”

Indeed, the Monkey King was complaining bitterly about their miserable experience.

A few days ago, after returning, it had followed Mu Shiyue’s previous method and started brewing wine with various materials.

It carefully replicated the process step by step.

It not only added various fruits but also added bamboo and mushrooms.

It had thought the final result would be good, but after drinking it today, the entire group went mad.

“Woo woo woo~”

The Monkey King continued gesturing excitedly.

The taste of this wine was inferior to the mushroom wine Mu Shiyue had brewed before, and even the feel of it was different!

Mu Shiyue’s mushroom wine made them slightly dizzy but mentally excited and very refreshed.

Although they would see a few hallucinations, they weren’t severe, and they could still distinguish between reality and illusion.

Moreover, after drinking the wine, they felt full of energy, which was why they went crazy demolishing things.

After venting, they didn’t feel uncomfortable, only refreshed and invigorated.

So the more they drank, the more they wanted to drink.

But the wine they brewed themselves was different.

They saw more little figures, and those figures were very fierce.

So they punched and kicked those little figures.

In the end, they were chased into the riverbed.

After a round of chaos, the toxicity finally passed, but their strength had also been drained.

The Monkey King felt like its current strength wasn’t as good as before.

If a natural enemy or bad person came at this moment, they would all be wiped out.

After listening to the Monkey King’s complaints, Mu Shiyue’s expression became complicated, “Then can’t you just not drink it?”

“Woo woo woo~”

Seeing the Monkey King shake its head firmly, insisting that they couldn’t stop drinking, Mu Shiyue’s lips twitched.

Right, this was a group of alcoholics!

Otherwise, they wouldn’t have gone crazy coming to knock on their door when their monkey wine was stolen by the Treasure-Seeking Mouse.

Now asking them not to drink was indeed too much.

From Mu Shiyue’s observation, apart from the baby monkeys, all the others loved drinking.

They even knew not to let the young monkeys drink, how moving.

“So what do you want?” Mu Shiyue said speechlessly. “You still want to keep drinking?”

“Woo woo woo!”

This time the sound wasn’t from the Monkey King, but from the group of monkeys below who had regained consciousness.

Everyone looked down and saw the monkeys nodding at Mu Shiyue while calling out.

This was clearly their answer to Mu Shiyue’s question.

Everyone: “……”

Everyone was numb.

They had just been poisoned, and their faces still looked ugly, yet their determination to drink was so unwavering.

They didn’t know what to say.

These monkeys really risk it all for alcohol!

Everyone was certain that if Master didn’t help, they would continue to mess around.

All that trouble they caused might even cost them their small lives.

Thinking of this, everyone looked at Mu Shiyue.

Facing so many eager eyes, Mu Shiyue rolled her eyes.

What could she say to a group of alcoholic monkeys?

They were relying on their strong bodies to be reckless!

But she couldn’t bear to watch them destroy themselves.

Moreover, they had learned the mushroom wine from her.

If not for that, no matter how much fruit wine they drank, it wouldn’t kill this group of monkeys.

Thinking of this, her face turned green.

“Master.” Chu Jingzhuo stepped forward. “I have an idea.”

“Speak.”

“Aren’t we planning to expand the sect?” Chu Jingzhuo pointed around with a slight smile.

Without him saying more, Mu Shiyue immediately understood.

She suddenly realized and clapped her hands, “That’s right, good idea!”

She could let the monkeys work!

They would work in exchange for wine, it’s a win-win for everyone!

Moreover, if they had to work to exchange for wine, their drinking frequency would decrease, and they wouldn’t destroy themselves so quickly.

After all, who would be willing to waste it if one had to work hard to earn a drink?

Although these were monkeys and not humans, the logic should be similar.

Thinking of this, Mu Shiyue smiled at the Monkey King, “Alright, I can continue brewing wine for you.”

The Monkey King immediately jumped up in excitement.

“But…” Mu Shiyue interrupted its excitement with a smile, “you have to help with work.”

“Woo woo woo?”

Work?

Mu Shiyue smiled and pointed around, “Yes, you have to help with work. If you do well, I’ll give you wine.”

The Monkey King thought for a moment before understanding what she meant.

It knew Wanxuan Sect had been busy with construction recently, but it had never thought that they would also be involved one day.

“Well? Do you agree?” Mu Shiyue raised an eyebrow.

“Woo woo woo?”

“Don’t worry, as long as you work well, I won’t treat you unfairly,” Mu Shiyue said with a smile. “You can trust my character.”

The Monkey King looked around, then at its monkey group, and quickly nodded.

“Woo woo woo!” Deal!

“Good.” Mu Shiyue smiled brightly. “Then it’s settled. However, you must provide the materials for brewing.”

“Woo woo woo?” The Monkey King was stunned.

They had to provide the materials themselves?

“Of course, you can choose not to. I can slowly gather the materials myself. But then, I won’t know when I can brew the wine.”

“Woo woo woo!” The Monkey King immediately panicked and patted its chest, indicating that it would handle the materials.

The others looked at this group of monkeys delivering themselves to their door and couldn’t help but show expressions of sympathy.
