Chapter 1734: Chapter 1066: Forced to Land on the Island
Every shelter has its own unique product.
In pre-apocalyptic terms, these would be local specialties.
The local specialty of Divine Monkey Island is these intelligent monkeys.
“Can these monkeys be bought as pet companions?”
“Not ordinary pets, but battle pets.”
“These god monkeys have many different abilities; some can spew flames and are skilled at flame evasion.”
“Some can ride the wind and injure with wind blades.”
“The monkeys’ genes are diverse, and their superpowers are numerous.”
“Many Spiritual Power masters buy them as battle pets to effectively assist superpower users in combat.”
Bai Lingzhen explained the role of these god monkeys.
Liang Yuan couldn’t help but become a little interested in these monkeys.
“That’s quite interesting. Are there so many types of monkeys? Has anyone studied the specific reasons?”
Bai Lingzhen shook her head: “I don’t know, but I heard someone has studied it before.”
“They feel that monkey genes overlap a great deal with human genes, and humans can reproduce many different mutant abilities; so, it’s natural these monkeys can reproduce so many strange abilities.”
Liang Yuan rubbed his chin; this explanation made sense.
As they conversed, the fleet had already approached the port of Divine Monkey Island.
Many ships were gathered at the port, but the only large ship belonged to Bai Lingzhen’s group.
As soon as Bai Lingzhen’s fleet docked, port pilots from Divine Monkey Island immediately directed them to approach.
The vessel soon steadied, then people on the deck laid down an iron suspension bridge, and many merchants from Divine Monkey Island rushed aboard.
“Captain Bai, any good stuff this time?”
“Captain Bai, I heard you went east; how’s the situation there?”
“Captain Bai, were there floods on the east side?”
…
The throng bombarded questions excitedly about the east’s situation.
Bai Lingzhen stood outside the second-floor captain’s cabin, shouted down: “Everyone, the usual routine; I’ve sorted the goods list and posted it on the bulletin board below. Prepare your trade items or superpower stones if you want to transact at the warehouse.”
She skillfully organized the transaction preparations.
At that moment, loud reprimands came from below.
Soon they saw a group of burly men emerging from the port.
The leader was a crew-cut strong man.
As he walked, he berated aloud: “Move aside, get out of the way; Monkey King has business, clear the way!”
Hearing ‘Monkey King,’ faces changed, and they hurriedly stepped aside, leaving a path open.
The strong man quickly dispersed the deck crowd and stood on the deck, looking up at the second-floor captain’s cabin.
He grimaced with a smile: “Captain Bai, our boss wants to invite you over for a chat.”
Bai Lingzhen maintained her composure, smiling: “So it’s the Divine Monkey Island Lord inviting me, but as you can see, I’m busy unloading, it’s really inconvenient.”
“Could you wait until I’m done here? I’ll visit Monkey King another day.”
The strong man’s smile gradually faded, he said coldly: “So, these folks disturbed Captain Bai.”
He then turned to his men behind him and yelled: “What are you waiting for? Get rid of them!”
At his command, his men grinned maliciously, turned towards the merchants, and angrily shouted.
“What are you staring at? Get lost quickly!”
“Delay Monkey King’s affairs, and a hundred heads won’t be enough for beheading.”
“Scram!”
“All of you, scram!”
…
With their loud scolding, ordinary merchants hurriedly left Bai Lingzhen’s ship deck.
Bai Lingzhen’s face turned sour, she angrily questioned: “What do you mean by this?”
“Since Captain Bai is too busy, I’m helping you clear these folks; now you’re free, aren’t you?”
The strong man turned to Bai Lingzhen, chuckled: “Has Captain Bai got time now?”
Bai Lingzhen’s face became grim, sensing something amiss.
“What’s going on?” Liang Yuan asked beside.
Bai Lingzhen shook her head slightly, whispered: “Something’s wrong, Divine Monkey Island has always cooperated with us, nothing like this ever occurred.”
“Do you know this person?” Liang Yuan gestured his chin towards the strong man, asking Bai Lingzhen.
Bai Lingzhen shook her head slightly: “I don’t know him, but he dares to swagger around with Hou Yaoting’s name, so he should be Hou Yaoting’s man.”
“Hou Yaoting? That’s Monkey King?”
“Yes, this Hou Yaoting is a Beast Taming superpower user, commanding many mutant monkeys, essentially forming a Divine Monkey army himself.”
“Thus, the Monkey King title.”
“Are you well acquainted with him?”
“Not really, but passing by here for business, visiting is necessary.”
“Most Floating Islands collect trading taxes from fleets.”
“Since I have the backing of the Department Store Alliance, Hou Yaoting has always been quite polite to my fleet. Not sure what’s wrong this time.”
Bai Lingzhen knitted her eyebrows tightly; she didn’t expect this unexpected situation.
The whole journey went smoothly for business, but reaching Sichuan and Shu’s doorstep, this happened.
“I haven’t asked your last name, sir?”
Bai Lingzhen inquired.
The strong man’s face darkened, smirking coldly: “Miss Bai truly can’t remember old acquaintances; three months ago, when you came to Divine Monkey Island port, I personally piloted your vessel. Does Miss Bai really have no impression?”
Bai Lingzhen slightly froze, her brows furrowed.
How could she possibly remember a pilot?
There were countless ships and pilots bustling around this port, numbering not a hundred, but at least eighty.
She couldn’t possibly remember him.
The key problem is, this person transformed from a pilot into an apparent significant figure on Divine Monkey Island in just three months.
This intrigued Bai Lingzhen.
“Could something major have happened on Divine Monkey Island in these three months?”
Then she wondered, even if Divine Monkey Island underwent changes, it shouldn’t affect her.
She was the fleet captain for the Department Store Alliance, backed by them; why would a mere second-tier power like Divine Monkey Island show such disrespect?
She couldn’t figure out what happened.
So she said: “Apologies, I really didn’t recall. Mr. Wu, if Monkey King has business, simply giving a heads-up would suffice, why the need for this approach?”
“Besides, what matter requires me to come ashore to discuss?”
Wu Tianhua seemed impatient, he coldly replied: “Miss Bai, don’t make this hard for me, I’m carrying out orders. If you don’t cooperate, then sorry.”
Bai Lingzhen’s face sank: “What’s your intention?”
