Chapter 995 A Tail

When Yunxi regained her human form, she was atop a towering pine tree that seemed to reach into the clouds. She stared at the little white ape in her arms for a long while before tentatively speaking:

"Are you a six-armed ape?"

The tiny white ape, only half an arm's length long, blinked and nodded obediently.

Yunxi looked at the little guy with only a pair of ape arms and coughed lightly, saying:

"Why did you leave the tribe's territory with me? If you do this, your elders will hunt me down."

The little white ape didn't react much this time, it just nestled quietly in Yunxi's arms and slowly exhaled, leaving Yunxi unsure of what to do next.

Although it wasn't her intention to take the six-armed ape cub out of the tribe's territory, the fact that the cub was currently in her arms meant she would definitely be tracked by the six-armed ape, which made her somewhat anxious. In the end, she released Dian Dian so that he could communicate with the white ape.

When Dian Dian saw that a strange white ape had taken over its owner's arms, it immediately became unhappy and made a series of "squeaks" at the little white ape. The little white ape only responded occasionally, as if it had used up all its strength and could only lean against Yun Xi's arms.

Yunxi frowned, then sent a wisp of her divine sense into the little white ape's body. The white ape, which had been leaning against her, suddenly raised its head, looked at Yunxi with its big eyes, let out a weak groan, and then closed its eyes again and leaned back against her.

Yunxi's divine sense quickly circulated within the other's body and then withdrew. However, this time her brows furrowed slightly. This little white ape was clearly congenitally deficient, merely an ordinary ape that couldn't even cultivate. It had survived to this day only because of the nourishment of demonic power.

At this moment, Dian Dian also spoke up:

“Master, this little white ape is a cub of the six-armed ape named Bai Tong. He has never left the clan’s territory since birth, and he is very weak. He is the only white ape in the clan. All of his companions born at the same time can cultivate, but he cannot.”

Not long ago, he heard from the ape ancestor of his tribe that he would not live much longer, so he wanted to leave the tribe's territory to see what the outside world was like. However, because he was too weak, he was not allowed to leave, which made him very sad.

Just then, the master accidentally wandered into the territory of the six-armed apes, and the ape seized the opportunity to slip into your arms and successfully escape the territory.

Yunxi felt an urge to facepalm. No wonder she was such a naive and innocent girl who had never left her clan's territory since birth. She had no ability to protect herself at all and just followed a stranger like her to escape from the clan's territory. If she had even the slightest bad intention, the little guy would probably have been abandoned by now.

Dian Dian seemed to understand Yun Xi's thoughts and immediately added:

"Bai Tong said he knows you are a good person and won't hurt him, which is why he dared to risk leaving with you."

"Tsk, is this some kind of friend card they're giving me?"

Yunxi was somewhat speechless, but looking at the little white ape that was already a bit listless, she frowned and said:

“His body is very fragile and needs the nourishment of demonic power. I cultivate immortal energy, and his body will instinctively reject it. This cannot continue. We must hold on until his clansmen come looking for him.”

Dian Dian was also a little anxious. If Bai Tong died in her master's arms, it would mean a blood feud with the six-armed ape clan. These monstrous giant apes would definitely not let their master go. Don't underestimate the importance that beasts place on their cubs.

So Dian Dian scratched her ear and said:
"Master, why don't we let Lili take a look? Perhaps he can figure something out."

Yunxi nodded. Without needing Lili to come out, she directly borrowed Lili's supernatural power. A glint of light flashed in her eyes. When she looked at Bai Tong again, she saw that the little guy's soul was very faint, and there was a small point of light flickering in his heart.

"Merit Light Spots!"

Upon hearing these four words, Dian Dian immediately asked:

"Master, what are these merit points?"

Yunxi withdrew her supernatural powers and looked at Bai Tong again, somewhat speechless:
"So that's why you're willing to follow me." With that, she raised her hand and flicked a speck of merit into Bai Tong's body. The moment the merit entered her body, the little white ape's breath became long and deep. Then she fell from the treetop and stood there waiting for the six-armed ape to come looking for her.

Dian Dian asked in a low voice:

"Master, are you going to send Bai Tong back?"

Yun Xi nodded and said:
"Of course, he can't stay by my side. If something happens, I won't be able to explain myself. Besides, I'm here to gain experience, so it's not appropriate for him to be by my side."

Dian Dian scratched her ear, thinking that her master was right, but she also felt sorry for the little white ape, who never saw the outside world before he died.

Bai Tong seemed to know Yun Xi's decision, but still nestled obediently in her arms, finding it very comfortable to be close to this cultivator.

Two quarters of an hour later, Ape Five and Ape Six appeared within Yunxi's spiritual sense range with six robust six-armed apes. She even sent a telepathic message to guide them, and in less than half a quarter of an hour, the eight six-armed giant apes surrounded Yunxi again.

Ape Five looked nervously at the little white ape in Yun Xi's arms and said in a gruff voice:
"Human cultivator, release the white ape in your arms."

Yunxi remained calm despite being surrounded, gently stroking Bai Tong's back as she said:

"Gentlemen, I mistakenly entered your territory just now. I have already apologized and left your territory as quickly as possible. This little white ape crawled into my arms on its own when I activated my secret technique. I did not forcibly abduct it."

Ape Six clenched his six fists, his voice squeezed out through clenched teeth:
“We saw it, so you better not hurt Bai Tong, or we will definitely not let you off.”

Yunxi suppressed the urge to curse the beast and said coldly:

"Which eye of yours saw me hurt him? I didn't run away when you caught up with me. I just wanted to return the little guy to you safe and sound. But you have to promise not to chase me anymore."

Ape Five and Ape Six exchanged a glance and nodded in unison:
"As long as you let go of Bai Tong, we won't make things difficult for you."

Yunxi then nodded and said:
"Then tell your companions to step back and stop surrounding me. I feel very unsafe."

Ape Six waved one arm, and the other six companions reluctantly retreated, but he and Ape Five stood still.

Yunxi then spoke to the top of the little white ape's head:

"If you want to come out, you'd better talk to the elders in your tribe. You can't leave the tribe's territory with strangers again. It's dangerous and bad for you and your tribe. They love you very much."

After saying that, he prepared to put the little white ape on the ground.

Just then, Bai Tong suddenly spoke:

“Fairy, please come with me to visit our clan. Staying by your side will allow me to live a little longer. I only wish to leave our clan and see the Dream Cloud Mountains where I was born. After I die, I will ask the Ape Ancestor to repay you and grant your wish.”

Ape Five and Ape Six were both astonished; it was the first time they had ever heard Bai Tong speak.

Yunxi was also somewhat surprised, because Bai Tong was born with a deficiency and therefore could not cultivate, so it was impossible for him to speak human language. But now, not only did he speak, he also asked her to visit the Six-Armed Ape's territory, which left her at a loss for words.

However, Ape Five and Ape Six, standing to the side, had bright eyes. They had only heard Bai Tong say that staying by this cultivator's side would allow him to live a little longer, and that was enough. So the two immediately stepped forward and said:

"Fairy, please come back with us."

　Goodnight, my darlings~
