Long Feicheng kicked the brown-haired monkey away and, feigning seniority, lectured Zhuge Ji, "How could you fight with a monkey for so long? You're disgracing your sister!"
In reality, Long Feicheng wasn't much older than Zhuge Ji, but as the senior member of the team, he felt it his duty to educate the newcomers.
Zhuge Ji's eyes welled up with tears. "I didn't want to, but this monkey just wouldn't leave me alone."
"Why are you crying just because I'm scolding you?"
"N-no, it's not crying. That monkey flicked pickled chili juice into my eyes... it stung!"
Wiping his tears, Zhuge Ji warned, "Little Long, you need to be careful. This monkey is not to be trifled with."
"How strong can a monkey be..." Long Feicheng paid no mind.
He turned to the brown-haired monkey, stuck out a finger, and provocatively taunted,
"Come here!"
The brown-haired monkey was furious. It stood on a branch and shook it violently, venting its anger.
Then, the brown-haired monkey reached behind its backside, as if to pull something out.
Zhuge Ji seemed to realize something and shouted, "Little Long, run!"
Long Feicheng nonchalantly replied, "Run from what? What can a dead monkey do to me... Holy cow!"
Before he could finish, Long Feicheng saw the brown-haired monkey pull out a pile of poop from behind!
In that instant, both Long Feicheng and Zhuge Ji broke down, covering their heads and fleeing like headless chickens.
"Goo goo goo goo!"
The brown-haired monkey, holding the poop like a peerless divine weapon, laughed heartily at the terrified expressions of Long Feicheng and Zhuge Ji.
As a rampant monkey on Mount Emei, the brown-haired monkey was accustomed to snatching food from tourists. If it encountered someone it couldn't defeat, it would resort to biological warfare.
Based on the brown-haired monkey's experience, these "bipeds" never failed to fall for this tactic.
Yan Shouyi watched Long Feicheng and Zhuge Ji running and screaming, shaking his head with helplessness.
He had been quite satisfied with his team before, but now, he wondered if there was a problem somewhere.
To prevent this brown-haired monkey from slowing them down, Yan Shouyi had to intervene.
He picked up a small stone from the ground and flicked it.
The pebble instantly sliced through the air, whistling towards the brown-haired monkey and hitting its nape with pinpoint accuracy.
One moment the brown-haired monkey was laughing, "goo goo goo," and the next it stiffened its legs and fainted, falling from the branch along with its poop.
"Alright, it's done," Yan Shouyi said with a sigh. "You two, stop running around. We're already far behind Qingcheng Mountain, and we need to pick up the pace."
Only then did they escape the terror of biological attack and look back at the fainted brown-haired monkey with lingering fear.
Zhuge Ji lamented, "I was just praising it as a little spirit of Mount Emei. It seems I'm still too young."
Long Feicheng was furious, thinking he had actually been threatened by a monkey just moments ago.
He looked at the fainted brown-haired monkey and said, "Brother Yan! Give me a minute, I want to get some revenge!"
Yan Shouyi didn't object. "Hurry up."
Long Feicheng approached the brown-haired monkey with a mischievous grin, took out a pair of scissors, and transformed into Tony the hairstylist, cutting off all the monkey's hair.
The brown-haired monkey, which had been a "handsome monkey" with lush hair, was now transformed into a balding, greasy middle-aged man after Long Feicheng's treatment.
Seeing the brown-haired monkey's fate, Long Feicheng nodded with satisfaction. Zhuge Ji also felt a great sense of catharsis.
He could almost imagine the scene of the brown-haired monkey being ostracized and bullied by the other monkeys once it returned to the troop.
"See you next time!"
Long Feicheng tossed aside the monkey hair in his hands and contentedly rejoined the team.
From then on, Mount Emei gained a heartbroken monkey.
About ten minutes later, the brown-haired monkey woke up.
It looked around blankly, then suddenly remembered Zhuge Ji and Long Feicheng.
Where did they go?
Huh, why is there so much fur on the ground...
Holy cow, this is my fur!
The brown-haired monkey quickly tossed the poop in its hand onto the dry leaves nearby and then examined its body.
Holy cow!
Where the hell is my hair!
Discovering the truth, the brown-haired monkey instantly lost all its strength, leaning weakly against the tree trunk and slowly sliding down.
"Wuwuwuwuwah!!!"
The brown-haired monkey was filled with rage and let out a sky-piercing roar!
The forest fell silent for a few seconds, then a flock of mountain birds was startled and took flight. Monkey calls echoed from all directions, dense and numerous, an unknown quantity!
After a while, monkeys started to arrive from all directions, swinging on vines.
They gathered before the brown-haired monkey, restlessly scratching their ears and cheeks.
Suddenly, a monkey noticed the brown-haired monkey had become bald and couldn't help but laugh, "goo goo goo."
"Wuwuwuwuwah!"
The brown-haired monkey was furious and rushed up to beat the monkey, also pulling out all the hair on its head.
And so, Mount Emei gained two bald monkeys!
The monkey that was beaten sat aside, crying softly, its face full of grievance.
Seeing such a tragic scene, the other monkeys no longer dared to laugh at the brown-haired monkey.
The brown-haired monkey stood on its hind legs, hands behind its back, like a leader, chattering a string of words to the monkey troop.
Translated into monkey language, they heard: "They bullied me! You guys, help me get revenge!"
The monkeys understood bits and pieces, but the general idea was clear: revenge!
The monkeys of Mount Emei were famously vengeful. Once, a tourist slapped a young monkey, and that young monkey waited for three years in the place it was hit. When it saw the tourist again, it unhesitatingly pulled down the tourist's pants!
Even more frightening, the monkeys of Mount Emei were very united and knew how to retaliate collectively.
However, this time was different; the brown-haired monkey had explicitly stated the method of revenge.
It placed its hands on its head, mimicking a seedling-pulling motion.
The monkeys couldn't understand.
So the brown-haired monkey pulled over the newly bald monkey that had just been beaten and pointed to its head.
The bald monkey covered its face and cried.
The other monkeys instantly understood!
Not only must they seek revenge, but they must also pull out all the hair on the other's head!
The brown-haired monkey's intentions were conveyed, and the monkey troop began to stir, crying out "ooh ooh wah wah."
With a command from the brown-haired monkey, all the monkeys infiltrated the mountain forest, beginning to search for their targets of revenge!
The targets were clear!
A guy with four eyes!
A creepy man as thin as a monkey!
And two males and one female!
After the other monkeys had left, the brown-haired monkey climbed alone to the top of the tallest tree nearby.
It gazed into the distance, slowly clenching its fists:
"Jiji ji, jiji ji ji, jiji ji ji ji ji ji ji ji!"
("This time, what belongs to me, I will definitely take it all back!")
