Chen Xuan only wanted to know the origin of this monkey, the era it lived in, and the events that happened there; he did not want to kill it.
I thought that after being beaten up, this damn monkey would give in like those spineless cowards, but I didn't expect him to be so stubborn.
It makes Chen Xuan seem like the kind of villain who interrogates criminals.
"Alright, Lao Hei, stop hitting it. This monkey isn't our enemy, why are you hitting it?"
Chen Xuan spoke, gesturing for the big black ox to come over.
Standing to the side, Nangong Daoyi was speechless. Didn't you tacitly approve of this big black bull hitting someone?
Even if you gave Big Black Bull a hundred lives, he wouldn't dare to attack the monkey without your permission.
The way you're saying this makes it sound like the big black ox beating the monkey has nothing to do with you.
Big Black Bull didn't have any objections and happily retreated.
"Go ahead and kill me if you dare!"
The monkey lay on the ground, vomiting blood and roaring in anguish.
He knew that once he fell into the hands of these people, there was no way to escape; perhaps death would be the only way to end his suffering.
Chen Xuan stroked his chin, his expression strange; this wasn't the effect he wanted.
He paused, then suddenly waved his hand, and a milky-white stick stood upright on the ground.
The stick was only half a piece, and the break was very uneven, making it look as if it had been broken while still alive.
When the monkey saw the broken stick, a red light flashed in its eyes.
"Do you want it?"
Chen Xuan asked with a smile.
The monkey looked away from the stick and stared coldly at Chen Xuan without saying a word, because he knew that Chen Xuan would never give it to him!
The reason I brought this out was just to lure him in!
"If you want it, I'll give it to you."
However, to everyone's surprise, Chen Xuan waved his hand, and the stick fell right in front of the monkey, right at arm's length!
He only needs to reach out to grasp it!
The monkey immediately became alert. He knew there was no such thing as a free lunch, and something was definitely amiss!
This man had just had his men beat him up, and now he's casually throwing a stick at him.
What else could this be but a ghost?
"Don't look at me with such suspicion. I have no grudge against you, and I don't want to hurt you."
Seeing this, Chen Xuan shook his head and slowly said, "To be honest, you were cut out of the stone by me, so in principle, you are my servant."
"However, I think you are tough enough, and it would be a real injustice to make you my servant."
"A monkey with guts like you would be a good friend."
“You were brought out from the Tianhuang Ancient Mine. My friends and I will be going there later.”
"Before you go, I will have my friend heal you, and then I will give you two choices."
"First, come with us to the Ancient Mine of the Wasteland. You might find your kind there, or even friends from your era."
Secondly, you can leave directly; I won't stop you. Oh, and you can take this stick with you too.
Chen Xuan displayed great magnanimity, leaving the others, including Da Hei Niu, completely stunned.
After all, judging from Chen Xuan's words, he was essentially letting go of a duck that was already in his mouth!
Who knows what earth-shattering secret this monkey might hold?
Even if we can't get anything out of him for the time being, it's never a bad thing to keep him around.
Little did Chen Xuan know that whether he kept the monkey by his side or not was of little use.
Although this monkey is a powerful God-Emperor with immense strength and a robust physique, it is estimated that once its injuries are healed, it might even be able to go toe-to-toe with a Great God-Emperor.
However, it was of no use to Chen Xuan.
Moreover, he studied the half-shaved, milky-white stick for a while but couldn't figure it out.
If these two things are useless to keep, then why keep them?
Destroy him?
Is it unnecessary?
He had no deep-seated hatred for this monkey, so there was no need for him to kill it.
Since that's the case, it would be better for a gentleman to help him achieve his goal and simply let him go.
"What trick are you trying to pull now? I won't fall for it!"
However, although Chen Xuan expressed his good intentions, in the monkey's eyes, Chen Xuan was playing tricks.
Instead of being grateful, he immediately became even more wary of Chen Xuan.
"Trying to play tricks on you? There's no need for that."
Chen Xuan shook his head, then looked at Nangong Daoyi and said, "Nephew, treat his illness."
Nangong Dao was taken aback. In fact, he also felt that Chen Xuan was probably playing some trick. Seeing that the hard approach was not working, he was trying the soft approach instead.
However, what Chen Xuan was thinking was his business, and Nangong Daoyi was wise enough not to ask any further questions.
He immediately ordered people to prepare a bathtub, then poured some special medicinal liquid into it, and finally added hundreds of precious medicinal herbs into the tub.
Then, a god-emperor who knew the laws of fire was brought in, and divine fire was used to roast the bottom of the basin.
Soon, the medicinal liquid in the basin boiled, melting all the medicinal herbs inside, and a medicinal fragrance filled the entire place.
"Take this calming pill. It's a medicine that can repair your heart injury. After refining it, put it in the medicine basin and absorb all the medicinal effects. Once that's done, your body will be basically healed."
Nangong Dao tossed over a pink pill.
The monkey frowned and did not eat it immediately, still looking wary.
Upon seeing this, Nangong Daoyi couldn't help but laugh, saying with a hint of sarcasm:
"We thought we would harm you. If we really wanted to harm you, we wouldn't have gone to such lengths. We could have just killed you."
"Furthermore, this calming pill is worth billions, and this medicinal bath contains all kinds of rare and precious herbs and medicines, which are also worth billions."
"In other words, it cost tens of billions to treat your injuries. I don't expect you to be grateful, just don't repay kindness with enmity."
Since it was Chen Xuan who asked for help, he naturally wouldn't be stingy. He basically prescribed the right medicine for the monkey's injuries and came up with the most suitable treatment plan.
Big Black Ox curled his lip, never expecting that treating this damn monkey would cost so much money.
Chen Xuan was also somewhat surprised, not expecting it to be so expensive, costing over 10 billion.
All I can say is that Nangong Daoyi put his heart into it.
"Nephew, do you have any way to reattach Old Black's horns?"
Chen Xuan suddenly asked, "The injuries that the Black Ox sustained in the City of Ten Thousand Demons have not yet fully healed."
Big Black Bull immediately looked at Nangong Daoyi with anticipation.
At this point, Nangong Daoyi's face showed a look of doubt, and he asked curiously, "Brother Niu, what caused your horn to break off?"
