In Zhou Jie's mind, there was nothing Han Luoxue couldn't do.
Han Luoxue shook her head. In the past, she had only been able to obtain tigers by chance, and she had never actually encountered monkeys or anything like that.
Needless to say, monkeys with such intelligence are even more remarkable.
Suddenly remembering that there was a tiger cub in the space, which was born to Aunt Tiger just a few days ago, Han Luoxue took a look.
Han Luoxue's expression changed, and she pulled the two people away.
The little monkey looked at them, gesturing with its hands and squeaking, as if trying to tell them something.
The stall owner noticed the monkey's unusual behavior and, holding a small leather whip, lashed out at the monkey.
The sound of slapping landed on the little monkey, who grimaced in pain and ran away on the ground.
Seeing the little monkey's clumsy attempts to dodge, the crowd laughed even harder. In their hearts, it wasn't just performing shows that were the cutest; many people were also content watching small animals get beaten up.
If the people are happy watching it, then someone will give them money.
Seeing that there was money to be made, the onlookers were not bothered. The stall owner chased the little monkey with a whip, making it run even faster and swing it even more fiercely.
To him, a monkey is nothing more than an animal; making money by performing is a skill, and making money by being beaten is the same.
All he cares about is money; he doesn't really care about anything else.
The little monkey dodged painfully, squeaking, its pleading eyes fixed on Han Luoxue and the others.
"Xue'er, what's wrong with this little monkey? I feel like he's been watching us the whole time."
Zhou Jie had always liked the little monkey, and seeing him being beaten, she asked worriedly.
Han Luoxue frowned. Could it be because she had a spatial ability that her aura was different from that of ordinary people?
Humans can't feel it, but animals can?
That's possible, but she still felt something was off about the little monkey.
"This little monkey..."
Han Luoxue frowned, her eyes cold.
"how?"
Du Linlang was also puzzled, as they had already left the crowd of onlookers.
Han Luoxue took a deep breath, still finding it hard to believe. Could it be possible?
"Sister Xue'er?"
"I feel that this little monkey is not just intelligent and human-like."
These words left Zhou Jie and Du Linlang confused. What did they mean?
"Sister Xue'er, what do you mean by that? I don't understand." Zhou Jie was still confused when Du Linlang turned to look at the dodging monkey.
"He could be a person."
"Wow," both of them were stunned upon hearing this. "What...?"
Did they hear me right?
Could it be a person?
The two women and several maids all turned to look over, and when they looked at the little monkey, it was... completely different from a human.
That's terrifying! How can a person look like a little monkey?
"That can't be right, can it?" Zhou Jie had never heard of such a thing before.
Du Linlang shook her head. She knew Han Luoxue was very capable, but it was absolutely impossible for her to look like a little monkey.
Han Luoxue sighed:
“I’ve heard people say that there are jugglers who bring a lot of small animals with them. But it’s extremely difficult to tame these animals. It takes too much effort to get them to learn juggling skills.”
Everyone knew this, after all, this wasn't a human, it was a beast.
"Some people had the wild idea of trying it on small children. They took small children and replaced their skin with new skin. These children were very likely to die, but some were lucky enough to survive, just like the little monkey we see here."
"Because they were given monkey skin and medication, they won't grow any bigger and will stay this size forever."
"It's a bit of a pity that these kinds of children don't live long."
Judging from the size of that little monkey, the child at that time must have been quite small.
He was lucky to survive, but...
"So they can't speak anymore?"
Even if someone turned it into a monkey, it should be able to talk, right?
But the current situation is...
"Yes, the tongue was cut out. The stall owner wouldn't dare let outsiders know about this, as it's too cruel. I feel that this little monkey is most likely a child."
Han Luoxue initially found it a bit unbelievable, after all, how could a person turn into a monkey?
She was somewhat skeptical when she first heard about it.
But this little monkey just now made her suspicious.
Zhou Jie and Du Linlang were both stunned; they had never heard of such a thing. How could it be? Even the smallest child is very different from a baby monkey.
Reskinning? The thought is terrifying.
Peel off the skin of a living child, then peel off the skin of a monkey, and swap the two? That person couldn't possibly survive.
Seeing Han Luoxue's serious expression, the two realized she wasn't joking.
Besides, Han Luoxue would never joke about something like this.
Through the crowd, the two could still see the little monkey scrambling to avoid them, while the stall owner chased after it with a whip.
It's clear that the little monkey was also quite devastated.
When a person breaks down, they can beg for mercy, but the little monkey can only scream "Ahhh!"
The onlookers laughed heartily, and no one thought it was wrong. After all, the little monkey had a life too.
Zhou Jie's face darkened: "I'm going to save that little monkey!"
Just as she was about to go over, Han Luoxue grabbed her arm.
"Sister Xue'er, what's wrong...?"
Knowing that the monkey might be a child, Zhou Jie couldn't remain indifferent, much less ignore it.
What did you say in the past?
Knowing that Zhou Jie was straightforward and often impulsive, Han Luoxue looked at her.
"I... I need to ask that stall owner why they did that?"
Hearing this, Han Luoxue laughed, a mocking laugh: "Do you think the stall owner will admit it?"
Besides, even if it's proven that a child did it, how do you know whose child it is? He might even claim it's his own.
Zhou Jie was taken aback; this was indeed quite possible.
If the child were his own, how could he bring himself to do it?
At that point, the people around him can only condemn him a couple of times, but they can't really do anything about it.
Zhou Jie frowned, and said with frustration, "I don't think it could possibly be his own child! No matter how heartless he is, he could never do this to a child!"
They skinned and replaced alive; just thinking about it sends chills down my spine.
"But we have no evidence to prove it. Besides, we can't even prove whether the monkey is a child!"
Han Luoxue sighed and had to advise, "Even if the child made this little monkey, what will the stall owner do if you go over and expose it now?"
Zhou Jie frowned, and Du Linlang sighed: "He will take his men and leave as soon as possible, the farther the better."
