In the evening, hotel room.
'Boom, boom!'
Upon hearing a series of low knocks, Chen Xuan didn't need to guess who it was.
As expected, upon opening the door, he saw the dusty Stone Monkey with a bulging snakeskin bag in its hand, grinning with a dirty face:
(๑´ㅂ`๑) Master, I picked up many treasures today~
"...I told you, it's enough to just wander around the mountain, there's no need to pick up trash."
Chen Xuan sighed helplessly.
These days, he was busy attending the Sword Testing Competition, and even if he summoned Wukong, it could only sit and watch the battle with him.
But the little monkey couldn't sit still, always restless and fidgeting after a while, scratching and jumping around.
Eventually, Chen Xuan let it wander around Huashan on its own, since there were wild stone monkey groups in the mountains for it to befriend.
However...
Although it did find its own kind, it couldn't merge with them.
