Chapter 44: Take It, Monkey Steals Peaches

  Huh? Isn't it just a warehouse? Why make such a big deal out of it, with all these layers and levels. It's so dark, finding things is really troublesome. Water Fairy just likes to create mysteries!

  After entering what seemed to be an ordinary basement, Xiaodou went down four levels, looking around cautiously until he arrived at the last level of the treasure storage room. The guarding junior brother saw that it was his senior brother and hastily opened the large door of the storage room.

  After entering, Xiao Dou first looked at the three-headed python, its crystal-like body flowing and turning, its powerful demon core, and then flipped through several hundred meters of wide snake skin...

  Before long, while Xiaodou was flipping through it, Shuixian rushed in hastily and shouted: "You stinky little bean, you've gone crazy from refining equipment! You're not allowed to use the Jiaolong's skin to refine equipment!"

  "Water Fairy, have you seen the skin of this three-headed python? It's strange, there's only a crack on its back, and it doesn't seem like we could have opened it with our abilities!"

  "Wait till you've observed these little things, the Huang Hua Cai will be cold, I'm telling you, this is a material that's no less than two finished spiritual treasures, don't refine it! Ah, what cracks? That's still a mystery to this day, probably that senior helped us back then~"

  Xiao Dou raised her head casually and smiled with a hint of mischief, asking: "Don't answer so reluctantly, just say what you think directly."

  Her face twitched, pouting her small mouth and saying: "My view is that all of this was helped by your master Yifei, including you not dying, and even Master Shibo has an alibi. Afterwards I investigated and found out, do you know? Besides this possibility, I couldn't find any other explanation!"

  "Hmph!" Xiao Dou's face was cold and frosty, with a disdainful sneer: "It's your own uselessness, can't find the answer, so you attribute the reason to someone who hasn't been seen for 300 years, ridiculous! Don't think that Tian Renjie Da Xiushi is that great, if he dares to appear, I'll slap him in the face right now! Not me saying it, we should..."

  "Hey, flathead! Take a look~" Suddenly! A two-meter-tall golden giant, wearing an ancient and bizarre half-monk-half-Taoist outfit, with nine mini skull necklaces hanging from his neck, and a large wine gourd at his waist, appeared behind Xiaodou like a ghost!

  "Ah! With such a cultivation level and this attire, could it be that you are... Master Yuan Fei?"

  A flash of cruel light in Xiao Dou's eyes, and with a swift movement, he made a move - Monkey Steals the Peach!

  Just as ~", his hand was blocked by a flash of golden light, the big man hastily dodged to one side, wiping away cold sweat and cursing:

  "Hey, you little monkey, your hands are quite dark, when did you learn this ultimate skill?"

  Xiao Dou turned around with a disdainful look on her face and said, "Hmph! What I've learned is all so that people won't look down on us. I've learned a lot of things, my skills are impressive, how could you possibly know?"

  The newcomer was Yuan Fei. At this time, he glared with his big cow eyes and gritted his teeth, saying: "What kind of tone is this, I'm your master, the lifesaver of all of you!"

  Xiao Dou sneered with a cold smile: "Haha... I'll call you Master, will you dare to respond? Master..."

  "You...!" The flying ape drummed his chest with a loud roar: "You little monkey, don't think that just because you've lost love, you're something special. If it weren't for the few treasures I've been keeping at the bottom of my box, you little brat wouldn't have achieved all this!"

  " Evidence? What evidence do you have that you've helped us before? Besides, isn't this just so we'll help take care of your future disciples? Cough... I'd better calculate this carefully, or else there won't be enough food to eat. You don't know, if we don't go fight for the sect, they won't give us grain and living expenses, prices are rising!"

  "Xiao Dou~" The extremely spoiled Shuizhen dragged him and said: "Don't talk to Yifei Shizun like that, now things are clear, it's all thanks to Yifei Shizun helping us, or we would have died! How can you be so disobedient? You must respect your teacher!"

  "Ha ha ha! This little girl is absolutely right! She's a real genius!"

  Xiao Dou's eyes gleamed with mischief as he chuckled: "Ah ha ~ If in two days, certain people bring a group of disciples back, and after not many days, they're all starving and dizzy, running wildly around Jiuhua Mountain... Let someone ask, 'Whose disciple is this?' Haha... How interesting! It's really too interesting!"

  The narcissus in her heart was blooming with joy, and Xiao Dou said at this time that the topic was great, really as smart as me, handsome to death! But on the surface, she had a difficult expression, like a spoiled child, arguing and saying:

  "Little Bean, don't talk nonsense! This Mountain God Valley is the residence of Master Yuan Fei, and we're lucky to be living here thanks to his blessings!"

  The ape flew over with his hands crossed, saying sharply: "You're quite bold, little one! Speak up, what do you need me to help you with?"

  Xiao Dou's face lit up with a smug expression as he said: "After three things, you old man can go cloud-hopping in the four seas, and this little disciple will be content and have no regrets. One: Help me become a master craftsman of artifact-level equipment. Two: Help us build a giant combat airship. Three: Uh, this third one... wait until you've completed the first two before I'll say!"

  "No problem!" Monkey Flying waved his hand and laughed loudly: "These are just small things, but I also have a condition - the wine buried in your backyard is all mine!"

  "Ah!" Shuixian exclaimed with joy: "Great, great, great! Master Yuanfei, you're too good, thank you so much, you're really wonderful!"

  Xiao Dou grabbed the wine and shouted: "Shui Xian, that's my 300-year-old collection of 36 jars of Monkey Wine Red Heart Extreme Fine Wine! How can you just take it away like that?! Hey, stinky master, you can't be so ruthless! I'll give you ten jars at a flat price, this is already my biggest concession!"

  "Hey~" Monkey Flying happily laughed and said: "You little monkey, this haggling skill is your most powerful trick, right?"

  As for this matter, Shuixian patted her forehead and hurriedly asked: "Master, what's going on with Xiaodou? Why didn't he become a zombie after eating the Tianmo Huangzhe's corpse Dan and Fan Tian's blood relic, plus the gourd corpse emperor's essence blood?"

  Xiao Dou said with a loud cough, "I didn't force you to say it, don't think about taking advantage of me... uh, anyway, I won't fall for your trick!"

  The ape flew with a big mouth, and said with satisfaction: "Hmph! It's still the old master who had a kind heart and used the treasure that I couldn't bear to use to save his life. Otherwise, with his qualifications, could he have advanced five levels in a row? Dream on! Now you know I'm a good person, right?"

  Xiao Dou said with a suspicious expression: "No matter how I look at you, you don't seem like a good person!" As soon as he finished speaking, his head was punched by Yuan Fei - Tai Shan pressed the top!

  The next day, in the dining hall, the main seat, the ape flew a big kick and kicked Xiao Dou, sat down to eat and drink, dizzy! Three mouths and one bowl of rice, the amount of food was even more terrifying than Xiao Dou, really admiring him to death!

  After dinner, this old fellow was again drinking a small tank of fine wine with sweet and numb tongue. Xiaodou led everyone to chase him, and sighed helplessly:

  "Master, I'm afraid I'll have to trouble you again to give me a new name. I suppose the head of the sect has already spoken to you about this matter?"

  The half-god Monkey flew thought for a long time, suddenly turned into an evil smile and said: "Oh ~ forgot to give the disciple a name, this is not right for the master, hmm ~ since I'm surnamed Monkey, then you'll also have the same surname as me, let's both be surnamed Monkey, you little monkey, take a monkey character, and call it Monkey Monkey! Haha...

  "Master, no way! How can you give Eldest Brother such a name? It's ridiculous! Once it gets out, people will laugh at him to death. How is he supposed to face the world? It's humiliating...!" The surrounding junior brothers and sisters all chimed in to plead on his behalf.

  "A group of stinky little brats, stinky little girls, want to rebel? Get out of the way! You don't care about my old man's reputation, hiding at home during battles, making me lose so much face. Ah ha ~ anyway, you're not going to face the world either? Just call me Monkey!"

  "Alright~" Xiaodou said with a defeated expression: "Don't pretend, I know. When those young whippersnappers and tomboys come in two days, I'll let everyone take on apprentices to give you old folks face and not lose out!"

  "A child can be taught!" The ape patted his shoulder with a mischievous grin, "Now you guys shouldn't go outside to fight or anything, that's just going to get yourselves killed. Besides, you don't even have any equipment, being under the protection of a magnificent and great master like me is the luck of eight lifetimes! Haha...!"

  "Ahem! Our Master Yifei has agreed to help me, his brilliant and talented disciple, become a master craftsman of top-grade artifacts. And, Master will also help us create a top-grade, invincible combat airship that can easily accommodate all of us. From now on, our treasure hunts will be so much more convenient! Everyone should thank Master properly!"

  Xiao Dou's words stopped, and hundreds of younger brothers and sisters knelt down together, shouting: "Thank you, Master! Your younger disciples' admiration for you is like the endless Yangtze River!"

  "Wow! So neat!" The flying ape slanted his eyes and shouted: "You've been plotting for a long time, haven't you? It's really infuriating me... Eh~ You little monkey, why don't you kneel down and thank this great master together?"

  "Ah!" Xiao Dou exclaimed in surprise, "Master, have you forgotten? In the past three hundred years, there's only one thing you've taught me: 'Heaven and earth, ruler and parent, teacher - none of these are to be kneeled to.' That's why all these years, my fellow disciples could go learn magic from other masters, but I had to study martial arts on my own. Although no one can beat me in a fight, I've always remembered your teachings. So now, apart from the 'One-eyed Technique', I don't know anything else!"

  The ape flew into a big cough and covered up his awkward appearance, then waved his hand and said: "Those little things, how could they be taught by a master like me? If I were to teach, it would all be on a grand scale. You'd make a fortune in no time! Alright, don't excite an old man like me, I'll just give you some pointers!"

  As they spoke, the master and apprentice arrived at Xiao Nei Gu, where Xiaodou usually refined equipment and researched manufacturing methods.
