"Over here?" Yun Xi asked the flowers beside her.
The flowers swayed, as if sentient.
Yun Xi smiled and walked forward. Before long, she arrived in front of a pond where a snow-white lotus flower was blooming, emitting bursts of strange sounds.
"Lucky me, such a large White Jade Lotus probably has a medicinal age of hundreds of years," she mused.
Just then, a huge monkey covered in crimson fur descended from the sky, roaring furiously at Yun Xi.
Yun Xi, still smiling, said, "Little monkey, would you let me have this White Jade Lotus?"
The giant monkey roared and charged at Yun Xi, clearly refusing.
Yun Xi's smile remained unchanged, the surrounding flowers swayed, and strands of fragrance drifted around. Soon after, the giant monkey's body softened, and he lay down on the ground, slowly falling asleep.
Yun Xi chuckled, "It's not easy to grow so big, so I won't kill you."
