On your wedding night, stay with your godbrother; the Empress is practically throwing herself at you

zoo.

Inside the medical room.

The air was filled with the smell of disinfectant.

Wearing his reading glasses and holding a stethoscope, Dr. Wang, the old veterinarian, listened to the little monkey's thin chest for a long time.

His brows furrowed deeper and deeper.

Finally, he took off his stethoscope, sighed, and shook his head.

"It's hopeless."

"Premature birth, and with severe congenital defects."

"His body temperature was too low, his heart rate was less than sixty beats per minute, and his breathing was so weak that it was almost imperceptible."

"Its lungs are not fully developed yet, and it is not able to breathe on its own."

"Given the mother's malnutrition, it's already a miracle that this little one was born alive."

Lu Chuan stood to the side, watching the little monkey curled up like a kitten.

I felt inexplicably choked up.

I couldn't help but ask,

"Uncle Wang, are you giving him a heart stimulant?"

"Or put him on a ventilator?"

"it's useless."

Dr. Wang waved his hand.

"Its organs are failing, and it can't absorb the medication at all."

"The ventilator can only keep you alive temporarily; once it's removed, you'll still die."

"unless……"

Doctor Wang paused for a moment, as if he had thought of something, but then shook his head with a wry smile.

"Forget it, that's a pipe dream."

"Unless what?"

Lu Chuan pressed for an answer.

"Unless there is a martial arts expert, or at least a master of martial arts, who is willing to expend their own true energy to nourish its meridians day and night and help it maintain its cardiopulmonary function until it is fully developed."

"but……"

Dr. Wang shrugged.

"In our southern city, what kind of status do martial arts masters have?"

"Those are all superior people!"

"What martial artist would expend such energy and cultivation for a mere monkey?"

"That's unrealistic."

"So, give up, Lu Chuan."

"Giving it euthanasia is also a kind of relief."

Zhao Lei, listening from the side, kept sighing.

"Oh, poor little thing."

"They were born only to die, before they even got to see the world."

Lu Chuan remained silent.

He looked down at the little monkey.

The little monkey seemed to sense something; a tiny tear welled up from the slit of its still-closed eye.

That tiny, toothpick-like finger unconsciously twitched in the air before finally hooking onto Lu Chuan's little finger.

Hooked tightly.

Lu Chuan's heart was jolted.

Martial arts master?

Am I not a martial arts master?

Moreover, he is a four-star martial artist with an "immortal body" and an almost inexhaustible supply of true energy!

Others can't do it, but I can!

and……

Since the system has determined that it is the "Monkey King", the reward for reviving it will be incredibly generous.

He wanted to save the monkey, both out of compassion and reason.

"Uncle Wang, I want to give it a try."

Lu Chuan suddenly spoke.

"Try what?"

Dr. Wang was taken aback.

"I want to take it home and raise it."

Lu Chuan raised his head, his eyes serious.

"Since leaving it in the garden is just waiting to die, I might as well take it back and try. What if it survives?"

"Are you crazy?"

Zhao Lei's eyes widened.

"Brother Chuan, this is a protected animal in the federal government; private individuals can't just keep it as a pet."

"Besides, you heard from Uncle Wang that it's hopeless."

"Rules are rigid, but people are flexible."

Lu Chuan ignored Zhao Lei and looked at Doctor Wang.

"Uncle Wang, please tell the headmaster for me."

"Just tell them the monkey is already declared dead, and I'll take it back to make a specimen, is that alright?"

"this……"

Dr. Wang hesitated.

But looking at Lu Chuan's persistent gaze, and then at the dying little monkey on the stage...

He worked at the zoo his whole life.

Of course, I know Lu Chuan and I know that Lu Chuan genuinely loves these animals.

"Alright."

Dr. Wang sighed.

"I'll call the principal."

"But let me make this clear from the start: if you really die, you'll be responsible for disposing of the body properly and not causing any trouble for the park."

"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing."

Ten minutes later.

The kindergarten director, heavily pregnant, rushed over.

After glancing at the little monkey's condition and listening to Dr. Wang's diagnosis, he finally waved helplessly.

"Since Old Wang says it's beyond saving, let's just process it as a loss."

The principal then turned to Lu Chuan and said earnestly,

"Xiao Lu, I know you have a kind heart."

"But birth, aging, sickness, and death are the laws of nature."

"You can take it back, but don't get your hopes up too high, and don't let it interfere with your life."

"You've only just gotten married, and you don't have much money to spare. Don't empty your savings for this monkey."

"It would be terrible if my wife was unhappy then."

"Thank you, Director."

Lu Chuan smiled gratefully.

"I know what to do."

Immediately, she carefully took off her coat, wrapped the little monkey inside, and gently held it in her arms.

At the same time, a faint stream of true energy flowed through his palm.

It was quietly delivered into the baby monkey's body.

The little monkey, which had been trembling slightly in his arms, instantly calmed down after coming into contact with this warm energy.

The hand that was hooked around Lu Chuan's little finger gripped even tighter.

It's just like……

The two of them have already made some kind of agreement.

After a while.

Only after the baby monkey's breathing had stabilized considerably did Lu Chuan put it back in the incubator and say to Dr. Wang beside him...

"Uncle Wang, put it on a ventilator first, I'll come and take it home after get off work."

Seeing Lu Chuan's serious expression, the veterinarian finally sighed.

"All right."

"You young people are just so kind-hearted."

Zhao Lei leaned closer and whispered his advice.

"Brother Chuan, don't do something stupid."

"This little thing obviously won't survive. Aren't you just asking for trouble by taking it back?"

Lu Chuan smiled and patted him on the shoulder.

"I know my limits."

After saying that, he pulled Zhao Lei and walked out.

"Let's go, forget about this for now."

"Didn't you want to be the Monkey King?"

"I'll help you right now."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Lei's eyes lit up immediately, and his previous worries were instantly forgotten.

"real?"

……

The two returned to the monkey mountain area behind the mountain.

The monkey king was perched atop the artificial mountain, watching them warily, but dared not approach.

Lu Chuan pointed at the Monkey King and said to Zhao Lei,

"Take off your clothes."

"what?"

Zhao Lei was stunned.

"Take off what?"

"Brother Chuan, I don't like men."

I meant your work clothes.

Lu Chuan rolled his eyes. What was this guy thinking?

Although Zhao Lei was puzzled, he obediently took off his coat and handed it to Lu Chuan.

After receiving the clothes.

Lu Chuan climbed over the fence and went back into the monkey mountain.

This time, he did not unleash that intimidating aura.

When the Monkey King saw him approaching, he instinctively bared his teeth and let out a low warning growl.

Lu Chuan ignored him and simply unleashed the inexplicable affinity for animals that transmigrators possess.

Only then did he walk up to the Monkey King.

He handed over the work clothes he was holding.

The Monkey King was stunned.
