Nationwide Development: Spend Billions in Advance to Bind the Empress

Chapter 58 Golden-haired Monkey Baby?! The Walking 5

When the character binding card was mentioned, Shen Yun thought of another character he had bound to in his previous life: Lu Chen.

This is the one he bound to after Luo Hongxi's death, a complete ingrate!

Shen Yun helped him escape danger and save his life several times with his intelligence, but this guy kept making excuses when it came to finding feedback tools.

Some people say he's planning to use a conspiracy, to seize control of the body, or something like that. It's actually quite normal to have such thoughts, and Shen Yun can understand them.

At first, this guy called him master or senior, but later, when he got a little more confident, he directly called him old *deng.

Not only did Lu Chen not provide Shen Yun with a single item until his death, but his favorability rating was also zero. He didn't even show a shred of gratitude. Just thinking about it makes Lu Chen's teeth ache.

So to this day, he's too lazy to even think about that ingrate, let alone any kind of bondage.

More than half an hour later.

The crowd had reached the outskirts of Flower Fruit Mountain.

The area was under the guard of armed soldiers because there were still many monsters descending from the mountains.

Passersby are welcome to go in and even help kill the demons, but they are responsible for any consequences that may arise.

Following the images from his memory, Shen Yun strolled along the cordon, surveying the terrain ahead.

After walking for more than ten minutes, he stared intently at a steep cliff ahead:

'It looks a lot like the photos online, this should be the place...'

To confirm that there was nothing wrong, Shen Yun jumped over the warning line and rushed into the dense forest.

Along the way, you can also see some groups of people killing demons.

However, as they ventured deeper and the second-tier monsters became more numerous, the number of monster-hunting teams dwindled.

These monsters posed no challenge to Shen Yun; he could instantly kill them with his flying sword, Jinghong, and he didn't even bother to dig out their cores.

Monsters that have never killed humans will not drop feedback cards; you'll need to mine the materials yourself.

This is one of the reasons for the rise of the Monster Merchant Guild, since monsters are treasures from head to toe.

After Shen Yun rushed out of the dense forest, the view ahead suddenly opened up.

The gravel road was flat, and a stream meandered along the side to the distant cliffs; the scene was exactly the same as the photos in my memory.

'Now all we have to do is wait patiently...' Shen Yun was looking around when he suddenly heard faint roars coming from afar:

"Squeak~ Roar..."

"This is..." Shen Yun, who had been to Emei Mountain, immediately thought of monkeys!

'A monkey?!' Suddenly his expression changed.

I remember now!

In a previous life, someone posted a picture online of the mangled corpse of a baby golden monkey in Flower Fruit Mountain.

He became well-known among netizens because his red hair between his eyebrows and vertical eyes were gouged out.

Many speculated that this was likely the reason why the Great Sage's legacy was not found in the Flower Fruit Mountain Secret Realm!

'Could it really be that…' Shen Yun thought to himself, and the flying sword automatically grew larger.

He had to go and see for himself, regardless of whether it was true or not.

Whoosh!

After regaining his footing on the flying sword, Shen Yun sped towards the source of the sound...

……

"You little beast, how dare you bite me!!"

In the dense forest, a short-haired woman with blood on her arm lashed out with an iron whip at a snarling monkey trapped in a specially made net.

Snapped! !

The power of the Eight Heavens swirling struck the monkey, instantly tearing its skin and causing blood to splatter everywhere.

"Roar!!" This demon monkey had an extremely violent temper. Even though it was injured and bound by a net, it still roared at the short-haired woman.

But in return, a vicious whip lashed across his cheek, causing the golden monkey to howl in agony as he clutched his face and eyeballs.

"This little monkey has a strong resistance to drugs; it didn't even faint after ten doses of anesthesia." The camouflage-clad man, with a cigarette dangling from his mouth, fired another shot at the monkey.

A group of fifteen people went to great lengths to capture the baby golden monkey. Five of them lost their lives in the process, demonstrating the monkey's ferocity.

Seeing the monkey's explosive temper, the man in camouflage frowned and whispered:

"Young Miss, this monkey has a terrible temper; it will probably be very difficult to tame and contract."

"Hmph! If it doesn't back down, I'll get someone to train it properly!" As she spoke, the short-haired woman aggravated the wound on her arm, causing her delicate face to contort.

To vent her anger, she raised her whip and lashed it at the monkey:

"I refuse to believe it! A monkey can't possibly turn the world upside down!!"

But the monkey, which had been so ferocious just moments before, was now cowering and covering its head, not resisting at all, and took a whip lash.

"Ha, so you know how to back down!" The woman sneered, instructing her assistant to bandage her wound.

The news that her family had spent a fortune to buy the monkey from a demon-hunting group was said to have arrived with a brilliant golden light, which was captured on camera by patrolling security personnel.

Those born with extraordinary phenomena must possess something extraordinary!

She has traveled a long way to come, and if she can be subdued, it will be a powerful asset to her.

But what no one noticed was...

The golden monkey, clutching its head, had eyes filled with rage and murderous intent!

Once it gets the chance, it will definitely take revenge on that woman!!

"Ouch! Be gentle!"

"It'll be ready soon, miss!"

The stinging pain from her wound infuriated the short-haired woman, who then took a whip and lashed out at the monkey on the ground.

"It's all your fault, you beast! I'll deal with you when we get back!!"

*Clap clap clap!*

Amidst a series of cracking sounds, the monkey's back was already covered in blood.

But this thing has thick skin; it hasn't been overwhelmed by the anesthesia for so long, and it won't die even if you try to seduce it.

But just as she lashed out with her whip again...

Whoosh!

A streak of pale blue light swept across the magical whip in her hand, instantly splitting it in two!

"who!!!"

The crowd, their eyes twitching wildly, quickly grabbed their weapons and began to guard their surroundings.

The speed of that streak of light was just too fast!

If you hit someone with that, they'd probably be lying down right away.

"Haicheng, Shen Yun."

Amidst the whispers, a tall, handsome young man emerged from the dense forest ahead.

Shen Yun swept his gaze across the astonished crowd, his tone filled with unparalleled dominance:

"I'll protect this monkey."

'How did I end up with this man!' The overwhelming sense of oppression made the short-haired woman's heart pound, and her clothes were soaked with cold sweat.

"Put all the guns away!"

This is a formidable person who can single-handedly kill a fourth-tier demonic beast; how could she not be terrified!

Everyone quickly put away their guns, afraid of provoking this powerful man.

Shen Yun slowly walked into the arena, looked around, and then fixed his gaze on the short-haired woman:

'Jiang Xi?'

The eldest daughter of the wealthy Jiang family, she was known in her previous life for her powerful heterochromatic right eye and ruthless methods.

It appears that her right eye has a heterochromia iris, which is the vertical eye between the eyebrows of a baby golden monkey!

'No wonder there were marks on the monkey's forehead in my past life that had been gouged out...' Shen Yun realized.

But when he looked at Jiang Xi, besides the surprise of encountering a powerful figure from his past life, there was also a hint of mockery:

'A walking 500,000...'

Because the Jiang family had business dealings with the island nation, after the secret realm opened, the powerful Jiang Xi colluded with the island nation's strongmen to secretly plunder the secret realm's resources in China.

After the landmass expanded, the island nation, lacking sufficient secret realms of its own, not only coveted the secret realms of China, but also wanted to claim the land of the Monster Mountain within China's mountains and rivers, and began to occupy land resources.

Because the land had expanded so much at the time, the Demon Suppression Bureau couldn't manage it all, which allowed these petty scoundrels to take advantage of the situation.

At that time, the Jiang family publicly acknowledged their support for the island nation, and were condemned by the world for revealing their Japanese ancestry.

Unfortunately, the Jiang family was powerful at that time, and not just anyone could afford to offend them.

I never expected to run into him here!

"So it's Mr. Shen." Jiang Xi, having calmed herself, smiled and clasped her hands in a fist and palm salute.

"Since you want this monkey, I will gladly give it to you as a token of goodwill."
