The results of the evolutionary macaque tests also showed that it was not a mutant species.

However, this does not mean that it is without danger.

One of the patrolling soldiers said with difficulty: "There has never been a precedent of humans keeping evolved animals as pets. Its sharp claws and aggressive eyes will probably cause panic."

Zhao Gang automatically translated this passage in his mind as: There is no precedent but there is no prohibition either, so it is permissible.

Zhao Gang glanced at his baby monkey nestled close to its cub and assured the two patrolling soldiers:

"I assure you it will not threaten anyone."

Except for those with ill intentions. Zhao Gang added in his mind.

While the two patrolling soldiers were still hesitating, Zhao Xiaoxiu said pitifully, "I will keep a close eye on it and will definitely not wander into other lords' territories."

"...Go on, go on, remember to keep an eye on it!" the patrolling soldier said helplessly, waving his hand to signal them to hurry up.

The father and daughter were overjoyed and quickly got into the car with the macaque and left.

The macaque seemed to know it could stay, and it squeaked happily, looking at the father and daughter with a joyful expression, as if it didn't know what to do with itself.

The truck drove smoothly into Territory 13, and the father and daughter were surprised to find that the lights were on in their house.

“It’s Sister Sheng!” Zhao Xiaoxiu said confidently.

Zhao Gang shook his head. "There's no one home."

The cub didn't believe it and jumped off the vehicle, startling the monkey, who waved its hands to remind the cub not to do such dangerous things.

Zhao Xiaoxiu turned around and smiled at it, "I know."

I sped up and rushed towards my doorstep.

“Sister Sheng…” Pushing open the door, a solar-powered flashlight was turned on and hung on the wall, illuminating the room brightly, but Sheng Qingyang, whom Zhao Xiaoxiu had expected, was not there.

There was a note on the coffee table.

Zhao Xiaoxiu rushed over, picked it up, and read it. It was a note left by Sheng Qingyang, which read:

Hearing the news of Jiangcheng's victory, I guessed Xiaoxiu and the others would be back soon. I'm home. I slept very comfortably in the bed in the upstairs bedroom. The bedding has been washed and put away upstairs. The house has been cleaned, and the lights are on. I hope Xiaoxiu will see it the first thing she sees when she gets back.

A smiley face was drawn at the end.

Zhao Xiaoxiu smiled, feeling a warm glow in her heart. It felt so good to be home!

She folded the note, put it in her pocket, turned around and ran out the door, loudly telling her father what was on the note.

Zhao Gang replied that he understood and instructed, "Xiaoxiu, please wash up by yourself today."

He planned to unload the canopy materials and water pipes from the truck and then move the large box of hardware into the tool shed.

Oh, and I also found a box of locks this time, so now I can finally lock all the doors in the house.

As for the supplies belonging to Mo Shigui and the others, they will be temporarily placed on the truck and unloaded by them when they return.

Zhao Xiaoxiu agreed and then said with concern, "Dad, don't overwork yourself."

As I turned to go inside, I noticed a macaque standing outside, its head pressed against the glass, peering curiously inside.

Zhao Xiaoxiu waved: "Sister Monkey, come on, I'll take you to choose a room."

The macaque paused for a moment, then pointed to itself in disbelief with its furry paw. Could it go in too?

Zhao Xiaoxiu: "Come in!"

The macaque tentatively tucked a foot into the doorway, then quickly glanced at Zhao Xiaoxiu.

"Hurry up, hurry up~" Zhao Xiaoxiu urged happily, eager to show her new friend around her home.

Although it's simple now, it will definitely become more and more beautiful in the future.

Seeing that the macaque was still slowly probing, Zhao Xiaoxiu couldn't wait any longer and ran back, grabbed its paw and pulled it inside.

Despite its large size, the macaque was so flattered that it stumbled as it was pulled.

Zhao Xiaoxiu excitedly introduced, "This is the kitchen and dining room. We'll eat here from now on. Dad is a great cook. You must try it sometime, Sister Monkey!"

"This is the woodshed. We can store any dry branches we find here to start a fire. Cooking with firewood is delicious."

Although she has been in this world for more than three years, she has never eaten a single grain of rice.

But one must always have something to look forward to in life.

Zhao Xiaoxiu led the macaque to the second floor and pushed open the door to the empty right suite. "There are two empty rooms here. You can choose one as your own room. If you don't like it here, there is also a small room in the storage room downstairs."

"Hey, I know there's nothing here right now, but we can add things together little by little, right?"

Zhao Xiaoxiu suddenly remembered something and winked shyly at the macaques, "Do you monkeys all sleep in trees?"

The macaque didn't react; it seemed frozen in place.

No one ever allowed it into their house, let alone let it choose a room of its own.

Back in Yungu Temple, although Shanyuan always asked it to help with things, he never let it into his room or eat with him.

They treated it like an animal, but Zhao Xiaoxiu called it Sister Monkey.

"Sister Monkey?" Zhao Xiaoxiu noticed something was wrong with the macaque, her smile gradually faded, and she looked up at it with concern.

Unexpectedly, Sister Monkey suddenly hugged her tightly and tucked her into her arms.

Zhao Xiaoxiu hadn't taken a bath in half a month, and the macaque's fur was messy, covered with bits of grass and mud that had rolled in from who-knows-where.

When they hugged, Zhao Xiaoxiu almost choked to death by the strong smell emanating from herself and the macaque.

She pinched her little nose, quickly broke free from the macaque's embrace, ran three meters away, and faced the balcony to breathe in the fresh air.

Looking back, the macaque also looked like it had been suffocated by the fumes. It shook its head violently, its eyes brimming with tears, looking quite pitiful.

"Hahaha!" Zhao Xiaoxiu laughed out loud, pointing at the macaque with a disgusted look in her eyes: "Sister Monkey, you stink!"

The macaque pointed at herself defiantly, then jumped three feet away, its expression of disgust even more intense.

The monkey's eyes darted around, and it ran to the balcony to look around at this brand new place. Its ears twitched, and when it heard the sound of running water, it squeaked at Zhao Xiaoxiu and prepared to grab her and throw her on its back to go swimming in the river together.

Zhao Xiaoxiu quickly waved her hand: "I can't take a cold shower, I'll catch a cold. You go ahead, I'm going downstairs to boil some water."

The macaque let out a confused "squeak?" and seeing Zhao Xiaoxiu still waving her hand, it turned around, jumped off the balcony, and quickly ran towards the river.

Zhao Xiaoxiu watched it hop away, then ran back to her bedroom, opened the wardrobe, found some clean clothes, and carried them downstairs.

She didn't know how to light a fire or boil water, so she stood by the stove and shouted towards the door, "Dad, I want to take a bath!"

Two blood tentacles immediately burrowed in, skillfully lit a fire, boiled a pot of water, and poured it into a stainless steel basin.

The temperature was a bit low, but Zhao Xiaoxiu felt fine leaning against the burning fire pit.

With the help of the two tentacles, I quickly took a shower and changed into clean clothes.

Zhao Xiaoxiu dragged the basin full of murky bathwater herself and poured the dirty water onto the open ground in front of the door.

Just as she was carrying the empty basin back to the kitchen, the macaque returned with three large, fat fish in its hands and mouth, and slammed them down at Zhao Xiaoxiu's feet.

Just as it was about to boast of its achievement, the monkey's eyes met two blood-red fleshy buds covered in sharp teeth, and it let out a terrified scream!
