Gritting his teeth, Bai Chen climbed down with the monkey.
The moment he reached the ground, the monkey seemed to realize something and tried to slip away.
But Bai Chen caught it in one swift motion, holding both its arms in one hand.
He stared at it with a grim expression.
It was a monkey with beautiful fur and big, dark eyes.
It looked quite cute.

But no matter what it did, Bai Chen refused to let it go.
Finally, Bai Chen gave the hairs on top of its head a hard tug, pulling out a little yellow fur. It had gotten off much easier than he had.

Bai Chen smiled at it like a vicious wolf eyeing a plump rabbit, then ran a finger across its throat.
The monkey seemed to sense something and thrashed even harder.
"Ooh! Aah! Ooh! Aah!"

The monkey still looked utterly bewildered.
Bai Chen admitted that he was furious. Seeing all that plump meat, he really wanted to kill it and have it for dinner.
