Chapter 339: Chapter 316: Li Chen Takes Action

At that moment, the onlookers jumped in fright. Could it be that the monkey was planning to grab us?

The fresh wounds on the monkey trainer’s hand were still in plain sight. If grabbed by this monkey, disfigurement was a certainty, and in more serious cases, hospitalization might be necessary. Moreover, what if it was carrying some kind of monkey flu? Wouldn’t that be the end of it?

With this thought, everyone suddenly felt panicked, and the monkey, remembering the laughter it had received from these people before, started screeching from its mouth and then leaped towards the surrounding crowd!

"The monkey is attacking people!"

"Oh my God, run for it!"

"Run fast!"

The crowd descended into chaos, and people who had been gathered together now sprinted to the sides. The monkey landed on one person’s head, and in a panic, that person quickly flung the monkey away!

"Dude, what do you mean by throwing it my way?" someone else angrily yelled, quickly dodging away.

"Crap, my ****ing Immortal’s life is done for!" another person cried out, seeing the monkey with its bared teeth and claws flying towards them, totally freaking out!

The monkey kept screeching, and the people scattered like birds and beasts in the ensuing chaos. Only a few were injured, and those were just superficial wounds.

It didn’t take long for the crowd that had been gathered to clear out, leaving the ground empty except for the monkey that continued to screech, with nobody daring to approach any closer.

"Crap, that’s definitely a mad monkey, damn nearly scared the life out of me." someone exclaimed.

"For real, it’s terrifying. That monkey trainer’s skills are way too low. How can you have the face to perform with that level of expertise?" another commented indignantly. In this service industry, how could anyone be so lacking in skill?

However, this kind of talk always sounded a bit off, the phrase ’come out and sell’ leading to all kinds of wild thoughts.

It was at this moment that a little girl was probably accidentally pushed by someone behind her, stumbled, and fell straight down to the ground in front.

Seeing the little girl, the monkey began screeching and then charged on all fours across the ground, barreling towards her with the full force of its simian fury.

The little girl, seeing the terrifying monkey, started crying out loud.

The nearby people who had intended to help the monkey recoiled in fear at the sight of the animal, taking a step back.

"It’s all over!"

"Why isn’t anyone helping her? How can they bear to watch such a little girl suffer?"

Just then, a figure stepped out, standing in front of the little girl. The surrounding people saw that it was a thin and frail-looking young man.

"Isn’t this guy just seeking his own death?"

"Yeah, the monkey is so fierce. Although this young man means well, he’s no match for that monkey," someone else remarked.

"Does he think he can subdue the monkey? I bet his face will get torn up in a moment," another person added.

The people around Li Chen all seemed pessimistic, and the monkey too made its leap, its face twisted in ferocity, its teeth and claws bared, as it lunged at Li Chen.

Li Chen didn’t even move, nor did his expression change, which had everyone nearby clutching their hearts even tighter. It was done for; this man was surely done for!

However, at the moment the monkey leaped towards him, Li Chen casually swung out his right hand, and although the monkey had been screeching and baring its teeth and claws, all of a sudden, it was silent.

The surrounding people were shocked, for Li Chen had just casually caught the monkey by its four limbs. All four limbs were held firmly in his hands, and the monkey hung suspended, powerless, from his grip.

It got caught just like that?

Impossible, right?

Everyone was so amazed that they were at a loss for words. How could this seemingly fragile young man have such impressive skills? They hadn’t even seen his movements clearly when he had already caught the monkey. And it seemed like it took just one breath, just one move, to capture it.

Li Chen, holding the monkey, slowly squatted down and helped the little girl to her feet. Seeing the tear streaks on her face, he smiled and said,

"Little sister, don’t be afraid of this monkey, it won’t bite."

After speaking, he let go of the monkey. Just as it was about to move, it suddenly felt a surge of True Qi from Li Chen and dared not make a move.

Although it didn’t understand what this was, creatures like monkeys are extremely sensitive to such energies.

The little girl had been shivering, but seeing the monkey sit quietly on Li Chen’s arm, she grew curious once more.

"Apologize to her!" Li Chen frowned, and the monkey, startled, hurriedly clasped its hands in apology to the little girl.

Upon witnessing this, the little girl went from tears to laughter, and the surrounding crowd’s eyes widened in disbelief. Holy shit, this guy is even better than the Monkey Trainer. Just one word was enough, could it be a mistake?

But the onlookers were also cheering, Li Chen’s display had stunned them all, prompting thunderous applause.

"Amazing!"

"Props to you, brother! You’d be even more awesome in the monkey business!"

"Hey, watch your mouth. Who asks someone to perform with monkeys?"

But with the danger resolved, the applause from the crowd continued for a long time.

Li Chen stood up, the monkey now sitting on his shoulder, rubbing its belly, looking quite aggrieved—it hadn’t had its fill for the day.

At that moment, the Monkey Trainer approached Li Chen.

"Brother, that’s my monkey, can you please give it back to me?"

The Monkey Trainer said. However, the monkey, upon seeing its handler, had its fur stand on end and, squeaking frantically, took refuge behind Li Chen!

Joking aside, it didn’t want to follow that person. To work without having eaten, that’s just a heartless boss. Following him would lead to no future—no, that should be no "monkey future."

The monkey’s squealing seemed to communicate something along the lines of, "Damn it, I quit today! I’m firing you!"

Li Chen looked at the monkey and remarked indifferently, "You mistreat the monkey, and it doesn’t want to stay with you anymore. Forcing it is pointless."

"What, you want to steal my monkey?" The Monkey Trainer’s face darkened, "I’ll have you know, this is how I make my living. If you don’t return it today, you will regret it!"

Li Chen said calmly, "I never steal. I’ll buy this monkey from you."

Angered, the Monkey Trainer shouted, "Give the monkey back! I won’t sell!"

Having said that, the Monkey Trainer reached out to grab the monkey, but Li Chen didn’t even glance at him. With a casual wave of his hand, the Monkey Trainer staggered backward uncontrollably.

The Monkey Trainer looked at Li Chen, both shocked and fearful—this man was formidable.

The spectators too watched Li Chen, having witnessed the scene, their eyes lit up. A true master.

Li Chen patted himself down but then smiled awkwardly and turned to Yang Xin, "Xinxin, do you have any money on you?"

The crowd, which had been anticipating Li Chen’s next move, almost stumbled when they realized he was looking for money. They had thought he would pull out something impressive, but it turned out he was just asking for money.
