Chapter 367 Moonlight Baboon
Li Moyun could not help but clear his throat as he was holding his breath and trying not to laugh. The poor monkey had been thoroughly insulted by Bai Rouyun, but the way she was acting was filled with innocence. It was clear that she was genuinely shocked by the Moonlight Baboon"s red bottom.
The Moonlight Baboon in question was clearly feeling very unhappy. It did not cover its behind, but instead looked at Bai Rouyun with some maliciousness, before it turned its back to her, and began to swing its b.u.m forth and back, making the young woman"s eyes follow it as it moved around.
In a way, it resembled a moth"s attention to a flame, her eyes could not be removed at all, as she stared at the red b.u.t.t with undisguised astonishment.
The actions of the woman and the monkey made Li Moyun wonder which of the two were more intelligent, as they both seemed to have completely provoked each other.
"I don"t usually like ugly children, but do you think we should adopt that monkey? I mean, don"t you think that it is very lonely around here, and with such a red b.u.t.t, no one will play with it, will they?" Bai Rouyun had already decided that she wished to adopt yet another animal, but Li Moyun could not help but cough strongly, as he managed to choke on air. Bai Rouyun"s words were as lethal as always.
"My dear, these Moonlight Baboons are known for their red b.u.t.ts. The red bottom shows its fertility, so considering the current display of the one in front, I can imagine that she is very popular with the males." Li Moyun had never been to the Thousand Island Zone before, but he had an extensive knowledge of the various races and beasts living in the entire Wushi Continent. The Moonlight Baboon was no exception.
"What?!" Bai Rouyun could not help but exclaim as she heard Li Moyun"s words, however, looking at the smug expression of the monkey not far away, it appeared that he was telling the truth.
"These Moonlight Baboons have quite an interesting taste." Bai Rouyun could not help but chuckle dryly as she glanced at the red bottom once more before averting her gaze elsewhere.
She had thought that this monkey had some sort of disease that made it look like this and thus she wished to adopt it, so that it would not be lonely. However, now her husband was telling her that it was a standard feature of these monkeys, and that the overly red and swollen bottom was a sign of fertility and that the male monkeys liked it? She could not get over the shock and surprise she felt.
Fortunately she was a human and not a monkey. She would hate to take pride in such a red bottom feature.
However, after getting past the culturel differences of herself and the Moonlight Baboons, Bai Rouyun could not help but look at the monkey once more.
"Why is she not intending to attack us? She does not seem to care about us at all. One would think that this is her territory, but she does not seem to bother at all." Bai Rouyun was very curious about this Thousand Island Zone. She had expected it to be a heaven for those who wished to explore unknown territories, but if all the beasts around here were as docile as the Moonlight Baboon in front, then she was not going to experience many thrilling dangers.
"I can imagine that she sensed your shock an friendliness when we arrived." Li Moyun was also very helpless. Many times, the various beasts in these forests were hostile because they were expecting to be attacked. For them, attacking first was the most important thing to stay alive; they did not want to take the risk of checking whether or not the approaching person was friendly or not.
However, the moment Bai Rouyun had seen this Moonlight Baboon, or at least its red bottom, she had been so shocked and astonished that no malicious thought was sent out at all.
Her exclamaition, coupled with her interest, had caused the Moonlight Baboon to understand that they were not malicious. Although they were making fun of its proud capital, they had not been doing so maliciously or with the intention of harming her, instead they had even shown some pity and friendliness.
The Moonlight Baboon was a type of highly intelligent beast, and although it felt insulted, it was not angry after understanding the cause of her astonishment. In fact, it was somewhat proud that its beautiful red bottom could make another creature this shocked. It showed that it was a genuinely shocking appearance.
"Since it is a friendly baboon, we should try to avoid harming other of its kinds while being on this island. Unless necessary, we should avoid them. I feel that it deserves such an apology after I misunderstood their customs." Bai Rouyun was not the kind of person who could not learn. Although a red bottom was not that great for humans, it was clearly of great importance to this Moonlight Baboon. Even so, the monkey had shown a forgiving att.i.tude, so she also felt the need to show some thankfulness.
Li Moyun, on the side, felt somewhat helpless. His wife was an old cultivator, but her personality was as amusing as a young child. He could not help but chuckle and accept her proposal.
"Well, which way do you think we should move first?" Bai Rouyun looked around. She did not wish to move towards the Moonlight Baboon, so as to not make it feel threatened, but they needed to enter the forest somehow.
"We can follow the beach for a distance to see if there are any other suitable places to enter into the forest." Li Moyun did not feel that they needed to enter right here. The Moonlight Baboon in front appeared to be alone, but these beasts were usually living together in groups, so trying to enter the forest here would just make them come into contact with more of their kind. Since Bai Rouyun would prefer not to attack them, it would be better if they simply avoided their territory.
Bai Rouyun was quickly able to guess that these monkeys did not live on their own, so she quickly nodded her head to show her approval of Li Moyun"s suggestion. To her, it was fine if they went a bit further down the beach before finding a more suitable place to enter the forest.
Returning backwards, they found that the sun had crossed the highest point in the sky and was starting its descent.
"From how high the sun is on the sky, I would imagine that it will take quite some time before it becomes night, but since it is on its way downwards, let us follow the beach for some time, and see if we can find a place to set up a camp. Preferably, we will need to make a hut as well, otherwise we will enter the Primal Chaos Dimension to live there tonight."
Bai Rouyun looked at the sky. Although it still was brigh sunshine, she knew that the nights were often filled with danger.
On one hand, she wished to make a camp on the island. First of all, leaving behind trails would make it clear that they had been here for some time, and it was also fun to have their own base camp to return to every time they went out to explore.
However, she also understood that there was nothing more practical or secure than the Primal Chaos Dimension. There was no one who would need to keep watch in the dimension, nor did they need to build a base or spend time on such things.
"Let us walk down the beach first. If we find a suitable place, then we can build a camp. If not, then we will just continue to rest in the Primal Chaos Dimension.
"However, a base is more suitable since we also need to build a boat at a certain point. If we are to travel from island to island in this zone, then we will definitely need to build a boat and travel from one place to another."
When looking out on the vast horizon, various islands could be seen in the horizon, some more clearly than others.
The Thousand Island Zone was large, and it was not a simple journey from one island to another. The boat they made had to be of a certain quality, as the sea was also filled with dangerous beasts, and sudden typhoons could appear at sea at any time.
"I see." Bai Rouyun nodded her head. It was possible to make the boat within the Primal Chaos PaG.o.da, but it would not be as practical as doing it on the beach itself. As such, it was better for them to find a special place to set up a camp and slowly begin to examine the forest and island after that, before building a boat and setting out to another location.
"This Thousand Island Zone is very suitable for our current situation. I feel that the Wushi Continent is going to undergo a great change, my dad said that many experts had descended from the Divine Realm, and even if they are going to return to the G.o.dly Domain later, the Wushi Continent cannot be left without a great upheaval. Staying here, we can avoid the chaos and slowly temper our own abilities. Slowly, we too will be able to enter the G.o.dly Domain."
Bai Rouyun did not have much obsession with the G.o.dly Domain before, but she was quite curious about her father"s ident.i.ty. She had never experienced the true feeling of parental love before, so now that she had such a doting father, she was a little greedy.
However, after listening to Li Moyun, she understood that the G.o.dly Domain was not a simple place. Relying on her father"s ident.i.ty was not a good solution, so now, she was going to become an expert at the Thousand Island Zone and slowly make herself worthy of entering the G.o.dly Domain without anyone else paving the way for her.
Li Moyun knew her thoughts and his eyes were filled with affection and happiness. This was the Bai Rouyun he had fallen in love with; the young woman who never backed down nor took the easy way out. Bai Rouyun was shining with her own light as she confidently wanted to stand out and become a powerhouse on her own. Such a brilliance was enough to make Li Moyun lose his heart for eternity, and he truly loved his wife.
"We can send a message to Yun Mingshen when we reach one of the islands that contains a settlement, then we can ask for him to join us later and we will train together until we are all able to join the G.o.dly Domain together."
Bai Rouyun pondered Li Moyun"s words and nodded her head. She also wanted to see Yun Mingshen again so she approved of his idea of informing him of their location. Together, the group was even more suitable for training and moving on to the G.o.dly Domain. He was her maternal cousin, the only member left behind after the disaster and his responsibility to rebuild the Yun family was not light. If he joined them in the G.o.dly Domain to rebuild his foundations, it could not be better.
