Wasting Money to Become an Immortal-Chapter 242: Monkey wine

With the way that they looked at us, it almost seemed like they were planning to do something.

The lackeys moved in front of me as if they wanted to protect me, but...they didn’t get a chance to do anything.

The older monkeys just moved too fast for them to react.

They even moved too fast for me to react to them.

When they reappeared, they were right behind me.

All of them were looking at me before reaching their hands up towards me, as if they were planning to do something.

The only thing that I could do was watch them as they did this.

The lackeys turned back and reached their hands out as if they wanted to stop them, but they just couldn’t stop them before the hands of these monkeys fell onto my...shoulders.

They didn’t seem to be hurting me at all.

Instead, they seemed to be patting me on the shoulders as if they were thanking me.

The way that they acted, it almost seemed like they were thanking me for taking care of the little monkey.

"They are saying that you are a kind human for taking care of their youngest." Mu Bao Bao said all of a sudden.

It seemed that she was able to understand the sounds that the monkeys made, but that wasn’t strange since she was a spirit beast to begin with. She should have also understood what the little monkey was saying, but she never took the initiative to translate for me.

This time, she did it because it seemed like she was afraid that I would misunderstand.

Not misunderstand what the monkeys meant, but rather misunderstand why she didn’t do anything. After all, Mu Bao Bao should have been the only one that could have done something in this situation and she didn’t do anything.

After patting me on the shoulder, the elder monkeys went back and started bringing over some stuff that they seemed to be offering me.

These were fruits and what seemed to be gourds.

When I took a sniff, I could smell the scent of alcohol coming from the gourds.

Monkey wine.

This was a very rare thing that one often heard about in cultivation novels and it was one of the things that I really wanted to try after coming to this world.

Now it was being offered to me...

It was hard for me to keep my excitement in!

With a happy smile, I went forward to take the gourd that they offered.

But before I could take it, Gao Fu Shuai came forward to take the gourd that I had been reaching for.

When he did this, I narrowed my eyes to look at him before saying, "What are you doing?"

"Young master, we don’t know if this is dangerous or not. I think that I should test it first." Gao Fu Shuai had a very serious look on his face when he said this, as if he was seriously doing his job.

But when I saw him like this...

"Thwack!"

There was a fist that fell down on his head before I snatched the gourd from him.

I narrowed my eyes to look at him before saying, "When did you become so bold?"

Gao Fu Shuai had an awkward look on his face before saying, "Well, I’ve heard that monkey wine is one of the best wines in the world and it’s rarely found on the market...I just wanted a small taste."

He actually didn’t try to hide it as he directly said what he was thinking.

If it was anyone else, then perhaps they would have been angered by this.

But I just revealed an amused look when I heard this.

I wasn’t a stingy person since I was a prodigal young master.

At the same time, I didn’t want someone that followed me to be completely stiff since that wasn’t interesting at all.

So it wasn’t as if I wasn’t going to share the monkey wine with them.

It was just that since he was being so honest, it was more interesting for me.

I pointed at the other gourds being offered and said, "Isn’t there more over there? Go on, take one for yourself."

Gao Fu Shuai’s eyes lit up when he heard this.

He hadn’t really coveted more than a sip since he knew that this was his young master’s property, but he really wanted a sip since this was the legendary monkey wine and he was someone that loved alcohol.

So he had tried to take a sip this way with a proper excuse.

He never thought that he would be allowed to take an entire gourd like this.

I looked at the others and said, "Take what you want as well, let’s have some fun together."

The female lackeys didn’t really seem to react to this, but the male lackeys certainly reacted well.

They all happily went forward to take some of the monkey wine.

They had wanted to take some as well, but they had better restraint than Gao Fu Shuai.

But since the young master had allowed them to do so, there was no reason for them to hold back.

They didn’t forget to say, "Thank you, young master!"

Once everyone took some of the monkey wine, I raised my gourd and said, "Cheers!"

With that, the celebration with the monkeys began.

The monkeys happily served us fruit and wine, as if they were welcoming us as guests.

With the way that things went, it was like they were holding a banquet on our behalf.

There were monkey acrobatics, there was monkey wrestling, and all kinds of different performances from the monkeys. It seemed like they were going all out to make it enjoyable for us.

During this, I saw the little monkey from before sharing the peach with the other monkeys.

The other monkeys didn’t eat as much as the little monkey, only taking a little bit of the peach from the little monkey.

But it seemed that the effect that it had on them was quite good.

Most of the other monkeys broke through with just a tiny little bite of the peach.

That made things a bit strange...

Why didn’t the little monkey break through even though it had two peaches for itself?
