Chapter 879: Chapter 879: Dead Fish Eyes

After putting on airs for a few seconds, Bai Xiqin got off the helicopter together.

The journey from Shanghai to Azure Dragon Mountain took several hours. They arrived late at night, with the sky filled with stars.

Whether before or after the apocalypse, the stars in the mountains always seem brighter than those in the city.

The helicopter landed at the foot of Azure Dragon Mountain. Looking up at the mountain, a heavy sense of oppression hit them.

The black night gave the green forest a solemn hue.

Azure Dragon Mountain was quiet, occasionally pierced by the chirping of nocturnal insects.

Although it was so cold, the number of insects didn’t seem to have decreased much.

"That fatty is still sleeping in the bus, I wonder if he still remembers his good buddy!"

The fatty refers to the Mutated Panda.

Bai Xiqin recalled that the Mutated Panda had once teamed up with Zhu Yan to try to empty her coffers.

Later, Zhu Yan even drove a truck to take the Mutated Panda back home.

They were brothers who had shared a wealthy meal.

"Probably had an eye on the fatty since then," Leng Yebai said.

Bai Xiqin raised an eyebrow. The national treasure’s luck was indeed remarkable.

Being watched by Wang Ge and his son for such a long time and not yet being locked up in a small black room was extremely fortunate.

Rumble—

Helicopters landed at the foot of the mountain, the noise of a dozen of them was particularly loud in the quiet mountain forest.

The rumbling finally elicited a reaction from the animals living in the forest, with the sound of monkeys chattering.

In the pitch-black forest, a white shadow darted quickly down the mountain, starkly contrasting with the black night.

Bai Xiqin saw the white shadow as if stepping on bright "Wind Fire Wheels."

It was Zhu Yan!

With its appearance, the monkeys’ calls on the mountain instantly fell silent, replaced by rustling sounds.

The monkeys followed it down the mountain, staying hidden in the big trees, quietly observing the helicopters.

From a certain angle, one could even see eyes glimmering like stars, fixedly staring in one direction.

The chubby Zhu Yan walked straight to Bai Xiqin, his face still wearing that world-weary expression.

Clearly, he’d recognized Bai Xiqin, of the affluent among the affluent.

The one who’d given him many bananas and peaches.

Who’d made his foolish subordinates slightly smarter.

Zhu Yan’s dead fish eyes moved, his haughty expression softened a bit, trying hard to mimic the Mutated Panda’s dazed look.

According to (his brother), this wealthy person was easily duped and liked that expression.

Simultaneously, it stepped forward, trying to restrain its world-weary attitude and bow its head to the bigwig.

After a long wait, Bai Xiqin made no move.

No intention of petting it at all.

Bai Xiqin wasn’t foolish, knowing Zhu Yan’s prowess; a banana peel could send the Wolf King flying.

Zhu Yan: ...

The dead fish eyes stared at Bai Xiqin, silently thinking about how to earn some cash on the side like its brother!

The fools really needed the things from the wealthy to develop their intelligence.

"Ahem, can you understand what I’m saying?"

Bai Xiqin glanced at the dark mountains, seeing nothing unusual, unsure why Wang Ge and his son weren’t making a move yet.

But the clues Zhang Yiming found were here, so something must be up.

Surely, there would be a fierce battle.

Zhu Yan had eaten things from her space, so it was practically like she was raising it. Naturally, she couldn’t let them become cannon fodder.

Or suffer casualties in the battle.

The dead fish eyes continued to stare straight at Bai Xiqin.

On the plump white arm, red fur covered the paw, bright red.

Zhu Yan’s chubby paw moved, making an "OK" gesture.

Bai Xiqin: ...

She almost forgot, this guy could drive a truck, his intelligence at least a tad higher than Xiao Fanfan’s.

Just couldn’t talk.

"Come a bit closer, I have something to tell you."

Bai Xiqin waved to Zhu Yan, signaling it to come closer.

Zhu Yan glanced at the helicopters landing one after another, then at Bai Xiqin, its paw slightly clenched and then slowly relaxed.

In the end, it took two steps toward Bai Xiqin, its upper body leaning in while maintaining a small step of distance between them.

Even Zhu Yan knew about keeping a respectable distance between genders.

Though Bai Xiqin was a super-rich woman.

Neither it nor its brother, the little kit, had any intention of cozying up to a rich woman.

Just planned to sell charm.

"There are bad people at the foot of the mountain, we’re preparing to fight them. Later, you take the monkeys and leave here first, then you can return after it’s over, alright?"

Bai Xiqin asked.

Zhu Yan’s strength was mighty, but since it often stayed on Azure Dragon Mountain, Wang Ge and his son’s base must be quite familiar with Zhu Yan.

If Zhu Yan intervened, it would cause more harm than good; they must have ways to quickly subdue Zhu Yan and the monkeys.

So, it’s better they temporarily leave this place and not get involved.

Hearing Bai Xiqin’s words, Zhu Yan straightened up, its chubby arms crossing, those dead fish eyes unperturbed.

This was its home; it couldn’t just go anywhere else.

The Fusang Tree was their habitat; if something happened to it, the silly little minions would become even more foolish.

The kind who just knew how to eat bananas and pluck peaches.

Naturally, it had to stay, to guard the Fusang Tree and protect the silly ones.

Though it wore a look of disdain for its little disciples, in truth, just like the Mutated Panda, it cared for them a great deal.

Whenever it saw something that could make the sillies smart, it hurriedly went to get it.

"You don’t need to go far, just watch from the foot of the mountain, we won’t damage your tree." Bai Xiqin scratched her head, turned, and said to Zhang Yiming, "You won’t damage that Fusang Tree, right?"

"No, we won’t."

Zhang Yiming gave a definite answer.

Neither from Zhang Yiming’s side nor Wang Ge and his son’s would anyone intentionally destroy the Fusang Tree.

It was a genuinely sacred tree, naturally grown, similar to the legendary Heaven-Reaching Divine Tree, without the baptism of Bai Xiqin’s space, yet nurtured by the apocalypse.

With Zhang Yiming’s assurance, Zhu Yan still crossed its arms, dead fish eyes looking slightly wary.

It could sense Zhang Yiming’s strength, and also that Leng Yebai and Bai Xiqin were no longer the weaklings they once were.

"You don’t go far either; if you see us harming the sacred tree, you can intervene." Bai Xiqin paused, adding, "Afterward, if possible, each monkey can get ten bananas and ten big red peaches."

Hearing Bai Xiqin’s words, Zhu Yan’s face remained with an arrogant expression, but its crossed arms had naturally dropped to its sides.
