Ahhhhh, high-altitude survival!

Chapter 152, Enraging the Monkey Troops

With this bitter plum tree, Lin Yue's trip was truly worthwhile. Furthermore, Bai Shuang's powerful skills significantly reduced the unknown dangers, making her steps lighter as she continued forward.

There were quite a few small animals on the floating island of the Shadow Thief Clan. Bai Shuang walked on it as if she were in her water. Every now and then, she would raise her head and let out a majestic "Awoo" from her throat. Then, the small animals would quickly bring over various things such as grass roots, tree bark, fruits, and flowers for Lin Yue to choose from.

Although no other particularly useful treasure has been discovered so far, Lin Yue enjoys the relaxed and pleasant atmosphere. With the warm sunshine and gentle breeze, Lin Yue strolls slowly forward, flanked by two figures, one in black and one in white, as if on a picnic, her mood exceptionally cheerful.

She even secretly resolved in her heart that next time she went out, she must stick close to Bai Shuang.

Unfortunately, while Lin Yue felt relaxed, Bai Shuang had a completely different feeling. It was a rare opportunity for it to "venture out" with its sister and the stinky cat, and it had hoped to show off its skills and impress them. However, the things these summoned little beasts brought were all quite ordinary, with hardly anything worth looking at. How could it, the White Wolf King, possibly save face?

Sure enough, when a little monkey came running over excitedly and presented a wilted sunflower like a treasure, Bai Shuang's long-suppressed anger suddenly flared up.

With its eyes wide open, it strode forward and roared a series of angry "Awoo Awoo Awoo" at the little monkey.

The roar not only startled the little monkey, but also made Lin Yue and Xuan Ye, who were standing nearby, clench their fists in fright.

The little monkey trembled at Bai Shuang's sudden roar, its paws loosening their grip, and the flower in its hand fluttered to the ground. After a brief moment of shock, Lin Yue saw large tears welling up in the little monkey's eyes, followed by a soft sob.

(⊙o⊙)…Little monkey…did Bai Shuang scold you and make you cry?

Seeing the little monkey wiping away tears with its furry paws and sobbing so heartbrokenly, Lin Yue suddenly felt a pang of guilt. It was as if her own naughty child had bullied someone else's well-behaved child, and she felt inexplicably embarrassed. In a panic, she quickly pretended to be angry, raised her hand high, and pretended to tap Bai Shuang a few times. Then, pulling its tail, she coaxed the little monkey with a face full of apology, "Don't cry, okay? Look, I've disciplined it..."

Bai Shuang was initially taken aback by the little monkey's crying. It clearly hadn't expected the little beast to be so timid, bursting into tears after just a few shouts. It stood there hesitant, unsure what to do. But Lin Yue's light taps ignited its inherent ferocity. It bared its sharp fangs at the little monkey, letting out a low growl: "Shut up, or I'll eat you!"

To everyone's surprise, its threats not only failed to work, but instead added fuel to the fire. The little monkey's cries grew louder and louder. It plopped down on the ground and began to wail loudly. The cries echoed through the forest, startling the birds on the branches into a flurry of flight.

The small animals on the floating island had been acting as "workers," and given their petite size, Lin Yue hadn't even considered hunting them. Seeing the little monkey crying so loudly, she suddenly felt a little embarrassed, and unconsciously tightened her grip on White Frost's tail.

Bai Shuang winced in pain, its expression instantly contorting into a ferocious grimace. Just as it was about to turn its head and cry out to Lin Yue, a sudden downpour of pebbles rained down from above. Caught off guard, Bai Shuang was hit squarely, howling in agony. Not only it, but Lin Yue and Xuan Ye, standing nearby, were also caught in the crossfire, stung by the dense barrage of pebbles.

Lin Yue frantically raised her hand to shield herself, and looking up, she saw countless monkeys of all sizes that had appeared on the trees on both sides of the road. They were all baring their teeth, their eyes full of anger, and making "squeak squeak squeak" noises. They were obviously there to avenge the little monkey!

White Frost was hit several times with pebbles, leaving it dazed and its once-smooth fur covered in dust. Its expression grew increasingly angry. It crouched slightly, its limbs tense, its muscles bulging like a fully drawn bowstring, every hair seemingly standing on end, clearly intending to have a big fight with the monkeys.

Lin Yue and Xuan Ye, who had also been hit several times, exchanged a glance and simultaneously took off running. The difference was that Lin Yue ran empty-handed, while Xuan Ye added an extra move. With a flash, like a black lightning bolt, it darted to Bai Shuang's side, grabbed her by the scruff of her neck, and tossed her onto its back before quickening its pace and rushing forward at breakneck speed.

"Stinky cat, cough cough cough, why are you coughing cough cough..." Bai Shuang was caught off guard and choked. By the time she finally calmed down, the three of them had already rushed far out of the monkeys' encirclement.

Bai Shuang lay on Xuan Ye's back, grumbling and complaining, full of displeasure: "Sister, you stinky cat, why are we running away? I can take down all those stinky monkeys by myself!" As it spoke, it waved its little paws, trying to show off its power, "Hmph, how dare they throw me away, they've really got some nerve!"

"Ouch—that stinky monkey is small, but he's got a strong grip. That rock really hurt!" Bai Shuang raised her hand to touch the large bump on her head, wincing in pain. "Ah, I have a bump on my face! Ouch, ouch, I'm going to go back and chop that stinky monkey into eight pieces!"

Bai Shuang kept muttering to itself, but its paws clung firmly to Xuan Ye's back, showing no intention of jumping off. Lin Yue glanced at it, feeling both annoyed and amused.

Bai Shuang had mentioned before that beasts and demons were each divided into ten ranks, and that it itself was a third-rank demon. Lin Yue had always taken it for granted that it could control all beasts. It wasn't until Xuan Ye took advantage of the chaos to explain it to her that she understood that the matter of ranks couldn't be simply generalized.
