Golden Monkey

"Is that... a Golden Monkey?"

If the White Ape was merely rare, then a golden ape was truly a spiritual beast. In that instant, Bai Yujun had thought she was seeing the legendary Great Sage Equal to Heaven. Seven feet tall, with fur glittering like gold, he had an impressive appearance. The wind tossed his monkey fur wildly, and his bearing was imposing.

Compared to the scholarly White Ape, who had transformed into a refined and elegant man, the Golden-haired Ape could not even be bothered to change shape.

In truth, apes found cultivation much easier. Their brains were smart enough, unlike Bai Yujun back then, when her brain had not even been as large as a walnut. Apes and monkeys had nimble limbs and excelled at climbing and leaping. No matter how one looked at it, they were better than cold-blooded creatures that got sleepy when the weather turned cool and excited when it grew hot. Thinking about how she would have to find a way to snatch the ruins from the White Ape made her head throb.

The Golden-haired Ape carried a thick tree trunk over his shoulder as a weapon, baring his fangs with a savage expression.

There was none of that exquisite footwork, lightly stepping on grass leaves and branches without leaving a trace. Others traveling hurriedly wished they could leave no footprints, displaying their profound cultivation and immortal prowess. This fellow, on the other hand, left a crater with every step, brimming with dominance. Rainwater gathered in those footprints, turning them into little puddles.

The rain continued to fall. Water droplets clung to his golden fur, leaving it drenched. Hunched over, with a pointed mouth and monkey cheeks, he radiated Killing Intent, his wild and violent nature impossible to put into words.
