Monkey Changmei fell silent for a while before speaking, "Batong, I consider you a brother, so just be a good brother. Women have nothing to do with you in this life."

"Big brother! Are you looking down on me?" Batong shouted angrily.

Monkey Changmei realized he had hurt Batong’s pride and coughed to change the subject, "Alright alright, my mistake... Aren’t you curious why I let that Rabbit take the Stone? Do you want to know why?"

Batong nodded, "Yes!"

Monkey Changmei smiled, "The reason is very simple, it’s just an ordinary broken stone. If he wants to take it, let him."

"But then, why did you ask me to watch him earlier and not let him take it? You wasted my time and dirtied my eyes!" Batong pressed.

Monkey Changmei laughed, "If you hadn’t stopped him for a moment, how could he have scampered off so quickly?"

Batong was stunned...

Monkey Changmei shook his head, "I won’t explain the reasoning. Think about it more when you have time... I’m heading out."

As he spoke, Monkey Changmei walked outside.

"Big brother, where are you going?" Batong asked.

Monkey Changmei waved his hand, "I’m telling your third brother to mold a mountain into a stone and place it there! Ordinary stones aren’t good for fooling people."

Batong: "..."

"Batong, don’t you get it? Think about how many mountains are near Aolai Country, and how vast the sea area is. Such a vast territory, yet Huaguo Mountain is the most spiritual and beautiful place among them."

At that moment, a monkey with a somewhat weathered face walked out of the cave and lamented, "Our Huaguo Mountain has spiritual energy ten times that of the outside! The fruits here are rich in spiritual energy, which can speed up the monkeys’ cultivation. Plus, we have enough fruit, so there’s no need to worry about natural disasters or calamities!

Such a blessed land nurtured us and the monkey troop, but you should be aware that outside these mountains, who knows how many eyes covet what we have."

Upon hearing this, Batong’s brows furrowed tightly, and a murderous intent flashed in his eyes as he spoke emphatically, "They dare to covet us? Have the four of us brothers not killed enough people already? If they love being fertilizer for our peach trees that much, I wouldn’t mind giving them another try!"

Monkey Cangsang shook his head, hands clasped behind his back, pacing like an old scholar. Yet, despite his scholarly presence, he was obviously younger than Monkey Changmei, actually looking only slightly older than Batong upon closer inspection.

Monkey Cangsang said, "Under Heaven, the heavenly gate is wide open, above the nine heavens there are Saints preaching, Buddha spreading teachings, and Sect Hierarchs establishing their sects; there are countless strong beings. How many of them can you and I, brothers, truly stop?"

Batong, defiant, declared, "However many come, that’s how many we’ll kill!"

Monkey Cangsang said, "Open spears are easy to dodge, hidden arrows hard to guard against. Besides, it’s not the thief stealing that I fear, but the thief’s coveting. What if a thief has set his heart on us, could the four brothers really keep Huaguo Mountain’s secret safe?"

Batong’s eyes widened, "Are you saying?"

"Shh... It’s enough that we know, no need to speak it aloud," Monkey Cangsang said.

Batong subconsciously glanced at the small mound on the east side of Huaguo Mountain by the sea and the dark, unassuming stone that had monkey urine and feces on its side...

Monkey Cangsang said, "Military strategy is also a form of deception. Since we can’t be on guard all the time, we might as well let them steal one."

Batong suddenly understood...

Monkey Cangsang continued, "That is our foundation, and the key to Huaguo Mountain’s spiritual energy. We absolutely can’t let anyone know about it, understand?"

Batong nodded vigorously, "Second brother, I’m just slow to react, not stupid. Now that you’ve said it, of course, I understand... Next time someone comes, I’ll just divert their attention to the stone Big brother brought back."

Monkey Cangsang nodded in satisfaction, "That’s right. Enough said, I’m leaving... It’s such good weather; it’d be a waste not to sleep."

While the two monkeys were plotting, Qin Shou was unaware, clutching the large stone and rushing back to the hill where he had settled the little monsters. Then, he threw the stone high into the sky. With a thud, the stone smashed into the ground, creating a big pit!

Yet the stone was not damaged at all!

Seeing this, Qin Shou nodded in satisfaction and turned around to take a look from under the shade of his hand!

All he saw were a bunch of demon butts and tails flailing everywhere!

Qin Shou’s face darkened, and he quickly climbed onto the tank to stand high and look back. Only then did he see that the group of monkeys had stopped chasing after reaching the outskirts of Huaguo Mountain. They were cackling wildly and angrily returning.

"That’s it?" Qin Shou said somewhat dispiritedly upon seeing this.

"Rabbit, what else do you want? You want them to catch us and smash us to bits before you’ll be happy?" the Eight Trigrams Furnace asked.

Upon hearing this, Qin Shou laughed, imitating the Sun Wandering God he had seen before, shaking his head and assuming an arrogant demeanor, "Who dares? I am a Heavenly God!"

The Eight Trigrams Furnace heard this, made a face, and scoffed. He hadn’t seen any god that he hadn’t already known; to him, the Travel God was nothing special! However, he understood that in the eyes of these humble creatures, not just the Travel God, even the God of Land and Mountain God were divine... This status indeed carried some weight.

Qin Shou ignored the Eight Trigrams Furnace and continued examining the large stone in his hand, studying it closely...

Suddenly, Qin Shou discovered that there were cracks on the stone!

Qin Shou leaned in, studied it carefully, and knocked hard. With a crack... the fissure widened!

Qin Shou’s heart trembled, thinking, "Could it be that the Monkey is about to be born?"

As if to respond to Qin Shou’s guess, another crack split open on the stone with a crack and rapidly spread!

Qin Shou’s heart began to tense up!

Although he wanted to consume the stone to nourish his body, in his previous life, he was a die-hard fan of Sun Wukong!

Not to mention anything else, his favorite thing was Sun Wukong’s overwhelming aura!

Fighting his way up to the Lingxiao Hall, he wanted to take turns sitting on the throne with the Jade Emperor!

Fighting demons below!

Especially when encountering a demoness, he would confidently shout in front of several monks, without a shred of shame, "Demon, halt! Take this staff from me, Sun Wukong!"

Every time Qin Shou saw this scene, he would sigh to himself and lament Guanyin Bodhisattva’s well-intentioned efforts. If it weren’t for the tight-binding spell on him, this Monkey wouldn’t be fighting his way to the Western Heaven... but scattering seeds all the way there, and then leading 1808 little monkeys to band together on Spirit Mountain.

But no matter what, as someone who grew up in Huaxia in his past life, Qin Shou had a Monkey King in his heart, a monkey king complex!

If Sun Wukong didn’t come out, it was just a stone, but now about to appear, that was an idol, oh!

So, Qin Shou got a little excited and silently took out a rag to wipe the Eight Trigrams Furnace.

"What are you doing?" The Eight Trigrams Furnace felt uncomfortable with the Rabbit’s abnormal, sudden kindness, and exclaimed.

Qin Shou said, "I’m helping you scrub a bath, being nice to you, got a problem with that?"

"I do have a problem! A big problem, you better keep being terrible to me, this way, I always feel like something bad is going to happen." The Eight Trigrams Furnace knew the damn rabbit all too well; this rabbit would never be so obliging without a reason, there had to be a plot behind it.

Qin Shou rolled his eyes at the Eight Trigrams Furnace and said, "Get over yourself, I just want to see what comes out. If it’s someone strong and mighty, we can make friends. If a chick pops out, I’ve got the pot washed and ready, perfect for a stew."

The Eight Trigrams Furnace was speechless, thinking to itself: Indeed, this damn rabbit’s mind only contains thoughts of food!

Just as the stone before them was about to explode, suddenly there was a loud bang from behind!

The group of demons were so scared that they scattered, and if not for Big Four Joys and Yaoji desperately holding them back, combined with Yibing, the unflinching, unbowed pig head, setting an example, the rabbit would have lost the whole gang of little monsters he had so painstakingly gathered.

Qin Shou didn’t care about them, he hurriedly looked back and saw that on the small hill to the east of Huaguo Mountain, near the East Sea, a stone had exploded!

Dust and debris filled the air...

At the same time, two beams of golden light burst through the smoke, shooting straight into the sky. It was unclear whether they pierced through Level Nine, but the gaze was solid, lingering for a long time!

Seeing this scene, Qin Shou’s heart skipped a beat, he immediately thought of something, and without a word, he scooped up the Eight Trigrams Furnace and dived into the tank!

Then, Qin Shou constructed a periscope to look out from the tank toward the seaside...

The moment Qin Shou hid away, the clouds in the sky suddenly dispersed, as if a large hole had been opened. Behind the hole, it seemed someone was peering through, but the specifics were unclear.

Qin Shou knew that it must be the Thousand-mile Eyes of the Heavenly Court.

Having experienced the ruckus of the Four Heavenly Lords, Qin Shou also realized something: he couldn’t casually descend to the Lower Realm!

But according to the records in "Journey to the West", these two beams of golden light were likely shot out when the Stone Monkey was born. This gaze pierced through the nine levels, reaching the Heavenly Court! The Jade Emperor was alerted, and soon after, Thousand-mile Eyes and Wind-accompanying Ear would look down to see the commotion below.

Therefore, to avoid exposing his whereabouts, Qin Shou immediately hid himself.

Of course, the targets of Thousand-mile Eyes and Wind-accompanying Ear were not on him, but directly fixed on the shadow in the smoke...

As a sea breeze blew over, a monkey appeared on the shore, rubbing its eyes, stretching its body, and then bursting into laughter three times, its voice like a booming bell, shaking the heavens!

After that, the Monkey jumped up with a bound and began to run nimbly on the ground, picking up speed as he went, laughing while running, "Haha... That feels good! That feels really good!"

This scene was also witnessed by the monkeys of Huaguo Mountain. The group of monkeys were dumbfounded; they looked at each other wondering if they were seeing things...

"Third Brother, are my eyes playing tricks on me? A monkey just jumped out of that stone!" Batong asked.

Monkey Cangsang was completely bemused, saying, "I... I must be seeing things too... Over the years, I’ve seen plants and rocks become spirits, but I’ve never seen a stone directly birth a monkey..."

At this moment, Monkey Changmei returned with another monkey who was slender and had arms of extraordinary length, saying, "How strange and marvelous! Can a monkey really leap out of a stone? Could it be that our lineage on Huaguo Mountain originally all sprang from stones?"

PS: Woke up at 4:30 am to catch a flight, then the flight was delayed... After finally getting on the plane, had to wait an hour before we could take off. Having flown, I missed the train, so I rebooked and waited another two miserable hours... When I finally got home, it was already 7 pm. Cooking and eating dinner, then typing... I can hardly keep my eyes open. Fortunately, I managed to write this Chapter. Time to sleep at last...
