The little monkey had originally been only the size of a palm, but after this period of deep sleep, it had grown quite a bit, nearly doubling in size.
This change didn't surprise Ye Chen too much, as he often observed the sleeping critter within the Heaven Spirit Ring and had noticed the little monkey's growth.
What truly astonished Ye Chen was that after the little one woke up from its deep sleep, it could actually speak!
Just now, the little one had even transmitted its voice to his mind!
"Yiya, Ye Chen! Ye Chen, are you hurt?"
The little one's childlike voice still echoed in Ye Chen's mind, an event that had never happened before!
Ye Chen had tried to communicate with the little monkey before, but the lively little creature could only understand him, not converse with him using words.
But now, the little monkey could speak, which of course thrilled Ye Chen beyond measure!
