When hearts united, even mountains and rivers could be moved. After many long years, Da Yu's flood control efforts had reached the Huai River.
"Today is a good day." Da Yu happily began to sing.

The guards immediately raised their magical artifacts. Spiritual light flickered from their treasures as they prepared to strike at any moment.

"So you're the Spirit Monkey that's been stirring up trouble lately. I am the Human Emperor. Aren't you afraid of offending me?!" Da Yu asked in a deep voice.
"You?" Wu Zhiqi looked at Da Yu sideways, his gaze seemingly telling him, You're just a kid.
Da Yu cursed inwardly, Damn you, monkey. I'm actually being looked down on by a monkey today.

He suppressed the anger in his heart
