Chapter 67 It’s New Year’s Eve Again

After the Double Ninth Festival, the weather became increasingly cold.

The Hanyu Mountain, which had re-bloomed with greenery, had regained its former tranquility.

The scenery of green mountains and clear waters was soothing, and there was no more violent sandstorms, which meant that there was no need to clean several times a day.

This allowed Xiao Ai and the white ape to spend more time on cultivation.

Today, the white ape has gradually become accustomed to the days of cultivation in the mountains. Even if Xiao Ai does not supervise it, it can still concentrate for a long time.

Although it is still cheerful and playful, compared with before, it has more self-control, knows when to do what, and can slightly restrain its nature of playing.

Xiao Ai was quite satisfied with this, so she gave the monkey more opportunities to get in touch with new things.

Outside Hanyu Mountain, the market of the Xifeng Tribe and Shuisheng Village is still held every six days. Before, Xiao Ai went to the market in person to exchange the necessary daily necessities, but now, she has handed this job over to the white ape.

So on the day of the market, this sleepy white ape would get up before dawn.

Under the gray sky, the white ape first obediently completed the daily chores and homework. When these chores and homework were completed, it was almost noon.

After lunch and with Xiao Ai's approval, the white ape went down the mountain happily.

The noisy and lively market was a different scenery from the hard training in the mountains.

The white ape was very excited to go around in the market. He made faces with this child and played with that adult, and his chirping was extremely cheerful.

After a few times, this jumpy white ape became familiar with everyone. Every time he played in the market for a long time, he would go back to the mountain until the sunset and the market was over.

Xiao Ai did not interfere with its obviously lazy behavior, and it could even be said that he deliberately indulged it.

So the white ape, who had no worries, had more fun every time he went down the mountain.

But the happy days were short-lived. With the arrival of midwinter, heavy snow gradually began to fall in the mountains. The market outside the mountain also stopped because of the cold weather.

The white ape, who could no longer go down the mountain to the market, often sat alone in front of the Wolf Temple and sighed, missing the bustle of the market.

Until one day, it heard Xiao Ai "accidentally" mention that after the monsters have practiced successfully, they can transform into humans and go down the mountain to enter the world. And the colorful world outside is much more lively than this remote Hanyu Mountain market.

A big city with hundreds of thousands of people, human delicacies that cannot be seen in Hanyu Mountain, all kinds of interesting acrobatic performances, and a large market where everything is sold. Mermaids whose tears can turn into pearls, winged feathered people, three-headed people with three heads, corpses who only eat blood and not grains, giants more than ten feet tall, little people the size of a palm... The girl told the white ape the legend she had heard from the elders in the village.

After hearing the story, the white ape couldn't help but widen his eyes.

For this monkey who has always lived in Hanyu Mountain, the human market at the foot of the mountain is already an unimaginable bustling thing.

But outside Hanyu Mountain, in that vast world, there are so many strange things?

Those bizarre legends are full of attraction for this monkey who has just begun to understand the prosperity of the human world.

It was restless and walked around, as if there were ten thousand ants crawling in its heart. After listening to the girl's story, it now wanted to fly out and fly outside the mountain to see the strange and vast strange world.

But the little girl also told it that the outside world was full of monsters and wild beasts. For a monkey like it who has just set foot on the path of cultivation, let alone encountering monsters, it can be eaten by a tiger if it leaves Hanyu Mountain.

Knowing that he is weak, the white ape couldn't help but sigh and began to worry, why is he so weak?

On the second day, Xiao Ai took the white ape into the deep jungle behind the mountain and "visited" several beasts that were raging in the jungle.

Those beasts that the white ape used to be afraid of were now easily knocked down by the little girl. This huge difference in power made the white ape very excited.

It finally realized the importance of practice.

It turns out that practice can not only live longer, but also become so powerful? If it can be as powerful as the little girl, can it go down the mountain to play?

Go to see those strange and interesting things...

Thinking of such a future, the white ape was happy and excited.

After that, the white ape became more serious in practice. Its hard work was not much worse than Xiao Ai.

Xiao Ai was very satisfied with this change and began to teach the white ape to read and write in addition to practice.

When she was young, her mother taught her to read and write, and now she teaches this cheerful monkey to read and write. Many times, Xiao Ai would inadvertently think of her mother who had passed away and her father who had been missing for many years.

The days when her parents were around were the most carefree time in her life.

Although her father's appearance in her memory has become blurred. But the carefree happiness of her childhood still remains in her heart.

Occasionally, she feels warm in her heart when she thinks back.

But now, she has her own happiness.

Being able to guard the Wolf God Temple, wait for the Wolf God, and worship him for a lifetime is the greatest happiness of the little girl now.

The days in the mountains flew by in such practice, mixed with the white ape's shouting and yelling when it was hit on the palm for reading wrongly.

The weather in the mountains is getting colder and colder.

Soon, it is the most important and lively New Year's Eve of the year.

Outside Hanyu Mountain, the Xifeng tribe once again used their fireworks to illuminate the night sky with colorful colors. The sound of the fire exploding in the night sky spread far away in the mountain.

With last year's experience, Xiao Ai prepared the New Year's Eve dinner this time quite neatly, no longer as hurried as last year, and did not eat cold dishes this year.

The white ape was quite happy about this.

After eating the New Year's Eve dinner, it was a quiet time to stay up all night.

The little girl and the white ape sat in the Wolf God Temple, lit all the candles in the temple, and sat cross-legged with their eyes closed in the candlelight, meditating and practicing.

But this time, Xiao Ai was rarely distracted.

In the flickering light of the pale yellow candlelight in the Wolf God Temple, the girl opened her eyes from time to time and looked out the door.

The cold moonlight fell silently in front of the Wolf God Temple. But under the moonlight, there was no man in white who smiled and said to her, "I'll come to see you"...

The quiet and deserted New Year's Eve passed silently.

Until the daylight was bright, the candles in the Wolf God Temple had burned out, and the roosters in the cages began to crow, announcing the arrival of the New Year. However, the figure of the man in white never appeared in front of the Wolf God Temple.

In front of the huge statue of the Wolf God, the little girl lowered her head silently. In her heart, there was a little disappointment.

Lord Wolf God, Xiao Ai has been in the mountain for a year...
