Su Lin turned around.
Thanks to the spiritual liquid he had consumed, his eyesight had improved considerably, allowing him to clearly see a large group of golden figures approaching from the distance.
At the front was the same robust Monkey King.
It was chirping excitedly to its companions as they made their way toward the courtyard, each of them carrying something in their hands.
Wait…
a package?
Su Lin’s expression changed.
That package was clearly made by humans.
Could the monkeys have stolen it from somewhere?
Realizing that something might be wrong, Su Lin quickly walked toward the courtyard gate.
As the group of Sichuan golden snub-nosed monkeys approached and saw him, they immediately became excited.
They jumped around and chirped happily, their golden fur shimmering in the morning sunlight.
The viewers in the live stream could now see clearly that the monkeys were carrying packages made by humans.
They appeared to contain fruits and dried food.
There seemed to be a bag of apples and another bag filled with beef jerky.
The moment the viewers saw this, the comment section exploded.
“Could these monkeys have robbed someone along the way?
Look at those neat knots.
Those packages were definitely tied by humans.”
“Monkeys: This mountain belongs to us, these trees belong to us.
If you want to pass, leave a gift!
Hahaha!”
“Why are these monkeys so persistent about giving gifts to Zhu Bo?
Is it because he refused to become their Monkey King?”
“That’s actually pretty realistic.
If you don’t want to be their boss, they’ll bury you under gifts until you agree!”
“These monkeys are seriously persistent.
They’re mischievous, but somehow adorable.”
Staring at the approaching Sichuan golden monkeys, the mother panda immediately blocked the entrance to the courtyard and let out an angry roar.
“Waaah!
(Don’t come!
Don’t come!
No one is allowed near Guoguo!)”
With the monkeys making another appearance, many viewers immediately recorded and edited clips from the live stream.
One particularly popular video was titled:
“The Persistent Sichuan Golden Monkeys Want to Make a Young Forest Ranger Their Monkey King!”
The video included clips of the golden monkeys visiting Su Lin’s courtyard twice in succession, attracting countless curious viewers.
The comments quickly filled with questions.
“Golden monkeys from Sichuan are giving gifts to a human?
And they want him to become their Monkey King?
Am I watching an urban version of Journey to the West?”
“This sounds completely ridiculous, but the footage makes it look real!”
“Where’s the live stream?
I want to see this!”
“What beautiful monkeys!
I’m going to the live stream right now!”
Curious viewers followed the information and flooded into Su Lin’s live stream.
Inside the stream, a round black-and-white giant panda looked both adorable and fierce, while a group of golden monkeys stood outside the courtyard.
“Xiao Jin, why are you back again?
And what are you carrying?”
Su Lin squatted at the entrance.
The Monkey King approached while holding a red plastic bag.
Su Lin glanced inside.
It was filled with apples.
The other bag contained beef jerky.
“Chirp chirp!
(Gifts!
Delicious food!
For the Monkey King!)”
The monkeys presented the apples and beef jerky to Su Lin as though they were priceless treasures.
The Monkey King then sat beside him and stared at him expectantly, clearly hoping he would accept the gifts and finally become their new Monkey King.
“Where did you get these things?”
Su Lin was still slightly worried.
Although it was obvious that the monkeys were bringing gifts, there was always the possibility that they had stolen them from somewhere.
He remembered hearing that there was a farm at the foot of the neighboring mountain.
(Two-legged beasts!
Two-legged animals!)”
The Monkey King seemed to remember something and became excited.
Su Lin immediately understood.
The “two-legged beasts” they were talking about were humans.
“You mean these things were given to you by humans?”
“Chirp chirp!
(Yes!
Two-legged beasts are good!)”
So they hadn’t stolen the supplies.
Someone had actually given them these things.
The viewers immediately became excited.
“Hahaha, two-legged beasts?
They’re talking about humans, right?”
“Oh!
So someone actually gave them the food.
I thought they had learned bad habits from the monkeys of Mount Emei and started robbing people!”
“Emei Mountain monkeys: I didn’t do anything!
Why am I being blamed for this?!”
“Hahaha, that Emei Mountain monkey meme will never die.”
“Which kind person gave these monkeys such a large bag of apples and expensive beef jerky?”
“May good people live peaceful lives.
But Zhu Bo is the one enjoying the benefits, hahaha!”
Since the food had been given to the monkeys by humans, Su Lin no longer had anything to worry about.
He opened the bag and gave each monkey an apple.
The Monkey King took its apple, turned around, and immediately handed it to the giant panda.
“Eek?”
The giant panda stared suspiciously at the Monkey King and the apple in its paws.
The fruit looked familiar.
Its gloomy expression disappeared instantly.
Its eyes lit up.
It grabbed the apple and took a bite.
Crunch!
Apple juice burst into its mouth.
Ptooey!
Ptooey!
Ptooey!
The giant panda immediately spat it out.
Su Lin and the viewers were stunned.
“Huh?
Aren’t giant pandas supposed to love apples?
Why did she spit it out?”
“I told you!
Mama Bear only likes the apples Su Su gives her!”
“Hahaha, is she picky or just too spoiled?”
“She’ll only eat apples from one person.
That’s actually hilarious.”
Su Lin reached out and lightly tapped the panda on the head.
“Xiao Jin gave that to you out of kindness.
How can you waste it?”
The giant panda whimpered softly and handed the half-eaten apple back to him.
“Eek…
(Guoguo, it doesn’t taste good.)”
Only then did Su Lin realize that the apple was just an ordinary apple.
After eating spiritual fruits and fruits grown with spiritual liquid for several days, the giant panda had become extremely picky.
It couldn’t even tolerate ordinary apples anymore.
Su Lin didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.
To avoid wasting the food, he collected the remaining apples and planned to soak them in spiritual liquid.
“What are you doing, Su Su?
Are you throwing the apples into spring water?”
“Will pandas actually eat apples soaked in spring water?
Hahaha!”
The viewers were puzzled as they watched Su Lin place the apples into a bucket.
It was spiritual liquid.
Su Lin had secretly poured some into the bucket.
After dealing with the apples, he opened the package containing the beef jerky.
There were many small packets inside.
He distributed them among the monkeys one by one.
The Sichuan golden monkeys were surprisingly clever.
They used their teeth and hands to tear open the packets and immediately began eating.
The giant panda sitting nearby lowered her head and stared at her empty paws.
Then she looked up at Su Lin with pleading eyes.
It was as if she were saying:
“Daddy, where’s mine?”
Su Lin couldn’t help laughing.
“You’re such a greedy little thing.”
He reluctantly handed her a small packet of beef jerky.
Although giant pandas eat bamboo and bamboo shoots for the vast majority of their diet, their ancestral carnivorous instincts have not completely disappeared.
The giant panda watched the monkeys struggling to open their packets.
Then she lowered her head and used her teeth and claws to tear open her own packet.
A few minutes later, an amusing scene appeared in Su Lin’s courtyard.
Ten golden snub-nosed monkeys were sitting or standing in a neat row, each one chewing on a piece of beef jerky.
At the very end of the golden line sat a round, slightly clumsy giant panda.
She was also holding a piece of beef jerky and happily stuffing it into her mouth.
The unfamiliar flavor aroused her curiosity, so she didn’t reject it.
Su Lin stood in front of them, staring at this strange gathering of nationally protected animals.
His stomach suddenly growled.
He swallowed unconsciously.
The viewers burst into laughter.
“Wow!
They’re literally sitting in a row and eating beef jerky together!”
“This is the first time I’ve seen a giant panda and Sichuan golden monkeys eating beef jerky side by side.
Somehow, it looks completely harmonious.”
“There are protected wild animals all over Zhu Bo’s yard now!”
“Su Su can pet giant pandas and golden monkeys now.
I’m insanely jealous!”
Just as the monkeys were happily chewing their beef jerky, a familiar voice came from outside the courtyard.
“Su Lin, I brought you some supplies.
But on the way here, I happened to encounter a group of monkeys…”
Wang Yi stood at the entrance.
Then he suddenly stopped speaking.
His eyes widened.
The scene before him was simply too bizarre.
A neat row of golden figures sat with their backs toward him, all chewing beef jerky.
At the very end of the row was a black-and-white giant panda.
And sitting in front of them was the familiar figure of Su Lin.
Wang Yi froze.
At that moment, the sound of his voice caught the attention of the animals.
The entire row of golden monkeys turned around simultaneously.
The giant panda also turned her head.
Ten pairs of eyes stared directly at Wang Yi.
Wang Yi stood there in complete disbelief.
His hands loosened.
Thud!
The supplies he had been carrying fell to the ground.
Wang Yi stared at the bizarre scene before him.
“My goodness…
what is going on here?!”
…
Things may seem peaceful for now, but in the forest, you never really know what might happen next.
One moment can be calm, and the next can turn into an unforgettable adventure.
So, what do you think is coming next?
Which animal would you love to see Su Lin interact with in the upcoming chapters?

See you in Chapter 23!
