"Squeak—"
With a soft call, the animals hidden in the shadows revealed their true forms—a dense swarm of monkeys, some standing on branches, some climbing tree trunks, some squatting on twigs, some gazing sideways; brown macaques, black baboons, mandrills with human-like faces, golden monkeys with long arms and golden fur—it was impossible to count how many monkeys there were.
A single monkey can be considered cute, but a whole mountain full of monkeys is terrifying, especially when they are all staring at you; the sense of oppression is immense.
Being watched by thousands of eyes isn't a pleasant feeling, so Xu Milu didn't move, but slowly raised her hands:

Humans are so pathetic, they can't even grow a hair!
What is a disciple? Can you eat them?
The fruit in her hand smells so good! So good!
[Someone go and inform the King!]
[Why is this monkey so ugly?! It doesn't even have any fur!]
