Li Sheng put down his basket and placed the fruit inside. The monkey immediately climbed down the tree and moved closer to Li Sheng. It knew that if it picked the fruit, the person in front of it wouldn't hit it, and staying near him would also prevent it from being beaten by other monkeys.
The Monkey King obsequiously picked up the fruit and put it into Li Sheng's basket. To be fair, the Monkey King was quite good at getting things done.
Now that he was happy, he said to the Monkey King, "Do you want to be the Monkey King again? Since you're so good at getting things done, I'll help you out. It'll be good for both of us, a win-win situation."
The monkey couldn't understand what Li Sheng was saying; it just made babbling noises in its ears. However, it wasn't very afraid because it could tell from the tone of voice whether the creature in front of it was angry.
Mr. Li's tone was very calm.
Just like humans who keep cats, they can judge what the cat wants to do, whether it is happy, angry or comfortable, by the cat's tone of voice and body language.
Li Sheng picked out a slightly bruised fruit from among the many fruits and gave it to the monkey boy as a reward. The monkey king was obviously starving and ate it very quickly.
He wasn't in a hurry to leave. He sat quietly to the side and enjoyed the fruit with the Monkey King. After they had eaten and drunk their fill, he stood up and said to the monkey, "Let's go! I'll take you to get revenge and we'll take back the throne."
Even without doing anything, the monkeys would follow closely behind Li Sheng as he walked forward. If they stopped following closely, the other monkeys would immediately rush over and beat him up. Li Sheng was their protector.
Li Sheng led it to the vicinity of the new monkey king, a very young and strong monkey, who was watching Li Sheng and the old monkey king's every move from a high tree.
The new Monkey King's position is indeed very high, probably because he is wary of Li Sheng. At this level, he might not be able to successfully hit Li Sheng with a pebble.
He squinted and patted the head of the monkey next to him: "Do you dare to go? If you dare, I'll protect you. If you don't dare, we'll take care of our health and there's plenty of time in the future."
However, the new Monkey King seemed to give the old Monkey King no chance to choose, and directly sent out his own capable general.
However, the general did not approach the old monkey king after descending; instead, he looked at the old monkey king with his tail held high in a defiant manner.
With Li Sheng around, the old monkey king wasn't so timid anymore. After all, he had been the monkey king before, so he had some strength and some courage. He glanced at Li Sheng and saw that Li Sheng was holding a small stone, so he went forward to fight without worry.
"Is this what they call 'the monkey relying on its master's power'?"
"Monkey King, go for it! We've got the Wild King backing you up."
"My Monkey King is going to rise to power!"
"Haha, is the battle for the Monkey King about to begin?"
...
The Monkey King stepped forward and also bared his fangs, engaging in a game of cat and mouse with the new Monkey King's general. It seemed that the Monkey King's general was also somewhat wary and dared not launch an attack easily, or perhaps he was planning to strike suddenly when the Monkey King was not paying attention.
However, Li Sheng is not one to uphold martial ethics. It's not that he can't find a way to capture a new monkey king and train it, but that would take too much time, and the old monkey king is already performing well.
When the monkey wasn't paying attention, Li Sheng threw the stone in his hand.
Note that he only threw it; he didn't actually attack the monkey. After all, the Monkey King still needed some strength to regain his kingdom.
The Monkey King was a shrewd one. Taking advantage of the monkey's distraction and fright, he immediately rushed forward, directly attacking the monkey's face. Caught off guard, the Monkey King gained the upper hand, and the outcome of the battle was quickly decided.
Naturally, our Monkey King won the final victory. However, halfway through the battle, the new Monkey King, disregarding martial ethics, immediately seized the opportunity to rush up and attempt a sneak attack, which was utterly shameless.
Li Sheng is utterly hypocritical. He praises his own monkeys for their cunning and resourcefulness in attacking unexpectedly, but criticizes other monkeys for their shameless sneak attacks. However, this hypocrisy isn't new.
The battle for the Monkey King was so exciting that some audience members started acting as narrators.
"Yay! Our Monkey King has successfully defeated the general sent by the new Monkey King, and it's only a matter of time before he reclaims the Monkey King's throne."
"Now our Monkey King is using humiliation tactics, rubbing his butt against the provocateur's face. Isn't he afraid of getting bitten on the butt?"
"Holy crap, the situation has suddenly reversed! The new Monkey King is so unethical that he's launching a sneak attack from behind! My Monkey King is being completely suppressed right now. Monkey King, don't give up! Keep going, Monkey King!"
...
Li Sheng didn't intervene for the time being. He just watched the two monkeys fight quietly, leisurely eating fruit. Without the help of other monkeys, the old monkey king was facing off against the new monkey king. He wondered how much of a chance he had of winning.
The old monkey king's fighting power was weaker than before, after all, he hadn't eaten enough for so many days, but his momentum was even more ferocious, as if he didn't care about his life. On the contrary, the stronger new monkey king slowly gained the upper hand, and because Li Sheng was in charge, the other monkeys didn't dare to interfere and could only watch.
The monkey was covered in wounds, but the new monkey king did not gain any advantage. Both monkeys knew what would happen to them after their defeat, so they were not easily subdued.
The battle between the two monkeys lasted for half an hour, and gradually the monkey who hadn't eaten enough began to run out of energy.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, the new Monkey King unleashed a fierce attack, once again using all his strength to pounce on the old Monkey King.
Li Sheng was there to watch the show, but he wasn't just watching. He was there to oversee things, and his monkey had to win. Just then, he finished the last bite of the fruit and casually spat the pit out of his mouth at the monkey, hitting it right between the eyebrows.
It's not very harmful, but it does have a significant impact.
audience.
"The new version of Qiu Qianchi from The Return of the Condor Heroes?"
"Nonsense, she is clearly a successor of Qiu Qianchi, Li Qianchi."
"The accuracy rate of his casual remarks is so high, that's so cool."
"I was wondering if, when a streamer is arguing with someone and can't win the argument because their voice isn't as loud, they can accurately spit phlegm into the other person's mouth."
"The person upstairs has a fresh perspective, Thai pants are hot."
...
Monkey King, seizing the opportunity, flipped over and launched a counterattack, striking the new Monkey King's face with incredible speed, his hands and mouth slapping him.
This finally subdued the new monkey king, allowing him to temporarily reclaim his position, while the other monkeys regrouped based on the situation and their own judgment.
Many of the old followers of the Monkey King remained, but some monkeys still followed the temporarily defeated Monkey King.
The battle for the Monkey King title is not over yet; as soon as a new Monkey King finds an opportunity, he will turn the tables and start again.
Without a doubt, if Li Sheng hadn't been there, the chances of turning the tide would have been much higher.
So he plans to come and visit often in the near future, and also stretch his monkey brother's back. Once the monkey has grown back in size and eliminated the rebellious monkeys in the group, he will let go of it.
