The Monk That Wanted To Renounce Asceticism

Chapter 1308: Monkey Is a Little Fierce

Squirrel stuck out his tongue and fell silent.

At that moment, the System’s voice rang in Fangzheng’s ears. “Don’t be happy too early. The System’s products cannot be sold. You can eat, use, and drink Frost Bamboo, as well as use it to benefit others, but you are not to do business with it. You can’t reap profits either, otherwise…”

Fangzheng’s smiling face instantly turned livid when he heard that. He asked, “Otherwise, what will happen?”

The System said, “Otherwise, the same amount of merit will be deducted for how much you sell it for. If you feel that you have too much merit, you can do whatever you want.”

Fangzheng rolled his eyes when he heard that. “You sure are ruthless! I’ll just not sell it, alright?”

Squirrel looked at Fangzheng’s expression and asked out of curiosity, “Master, you were smiling just a moment ago. Why are you crying now?”

Being a smartass, Salted Fish chuckled. “What do you know? Master is crying tears of joy, right? Master, can my punishment be canceled?”

Fangzheng wiped the tears from his eyes and said, “Yea, your punishment is doubled.”

“I knew it. I’m a geniu… Uh, Master? That’s not right! I’ve thought of a way to earn money. Why is it doubled?” Salted Fish snapped to his senses and shouted indignantly.

Fangzheng stroked the fish head and said, “Don’t be agitated. I’m even more excited than you now. Any more excitement, and you’ll have it doubled again.”

Salted Fish said pitifully, “Do you mean that there’s no room for discussion?”

“There’s nothing I can do. I’m cultivating a divine power now.”

Salted Fish asked, “What divine power?”

Fangzheng enunciated each and every word as he said, “Pain Transference Great Art!”

Salted Fish: “You aren’t happy, so you are making me unhappy? Right?”

“Smart! Reality has proven that I’m feeling much better now.”

Salted Fish: “…”

Fangzheng was indeed in a better mood when he saw Salted Fish’s miserable state. As for the so-called punishment, it was just a joke…

However, when he thought of the Frost Bamboo tea that covered the entire mountain, something which he couldn’t earn a single cent from, his heart bled. He couldn’t cheer up at all.

At that moment, at the entrance of One Finger Monastery, a few foreigners stood there, staring at Monkey who looked like a meditating monk with drooping eyelids.

As for the huge white wolf lying on the other side, they were a little afraid of him and didn’t dare go over.

“Venerable Monkey, we’ve been waiting an entire night. Our legs are numb from the cold. Can’t you do us some good and sell us some Frost Bamboo tea?” Yalman looked pitifully at Monkey. He had never imagined that he would one day beg a monkey like this!

If anyone had said that he would do this in the past, he would definitely beat the other party to death!

But now…

Nicholas said, “Venerable Monkey, look at your mountain. There’s so much Frost Bamboo on the mountain. It won’t be a loss to you if you sell us a little bit. You will even get a large sum of money. Isn’t that good?”

Li Daguang also said, “Venerable Monkey, think about it. Your monastery is so small. If you are willing to sell it to me, I’ll help you double it in size. How about that?”

Baird said, “I promise you on behalf of the other four judges who haven’t come. As long as you sell it to me, we will help you expand the monastery. We will use the best materials in Africa and South America. It will definitely be grand. Also, the price will be absolutely fair. We will pay double what the others offer!”

The four fellows no longer held much hope when saying this. This was because they had already repeated it more than ten times. Unfortunately, the monkey in front of them was standing there with his palms pressed together. His eyelids were lowered and he did not say a word! He really resembled an elderly monk in meditation. He was completely unmoved by whatever promise or benefits.

The four of them nearly cracked their mouths from all the talking, but there was nothing they could do to make Monkey say a word!

As for the rare phenomena of Monkey being capable of speech, they weren’t fazed by it.

After all, the news of One Finger Monastery’s animals being capable of speaking had long spread.

There were many videos on the Internet. Even if everyone was not used to it, they were not surprised.

This was just like a movie in which a teddy bear came to live. Although it appeared crazy, the craze didn’t last long. After the novelty of it was over, people didn’t think much about it…

Hence, the few of them weren’t surprised for too long before they got straight to the point.

Yet, they had failed to make any progress.

Ottosky’s patience was completely gone. He rubbed his head and said, “Monkey, can you sell it? Say something.”

Unfortunately, Monkey remained silent.

At that moment, Lone Wolf shook his head and crawled up. He yawned and said, “He’s already asleep. No matter what you say, he won’t know.”

“What?” The five of them were collectively dumbfounded. He had fallen asleep?

The little old man, Li Daguang, leaned over and looked at Monkey. He waved his hand in front of Monkey and indeed, there was no reaction.

A dark cloud hung over the heads of the few old men. To think they had been speaking all night while he was sleeping!

Immediately, they felt the urge to vomit blood.

Their exclamation was so loud that it seemed to awaken Monkey. He rubbed his eyes but could not see what the people in front of him looked like. He pressed his palms together and said, “Amitabha. Patrons, welcome in if you are offering incense. Uh… It’s not bright yet. The monastery is temporarily not accepting guests.”

Upon hearing that, the five people’s faces turned ashen. This monkey really did not hear a thing!

Ottosky, who had the worst temper, completely erupted. He roared, “Are you playing us, Monkey? Do you really think we’re easy to fool?”

With that said, Ottosky rolled up his sleeves, revealing his thick arms. As if he felt that it wasn’t enough, he tossed a huge rock that was a meter in diameter and roared, “Monkey, if you continue to play us for a fool, I’ll let you know how powerful I am!”

Monkey scratched his head and asked adorably, “Patron, why are you running around with a rock? Aren’t you tired?”

Ottosky was left speechless when he realized that Monkey didn’t understand what he was doing! He cursed inwardly, “This stupid monkey, can’t you tell a threat?”

Just as Ottosky was prepared to do something to scare this monkey,

he saw Monkey carry the boulder he had painstakingly carried over with one hand. Then, Monkey slowly asked, “Patron, there are many people coming and going at the monastery’s entrance. People might bump into it, so This Penniless Monk will help you move it back…”

With that said, Monkey raised his hand and threw the boulder out. It flew over the Heavenly Dragon Pond and flew more than a hundred meters before crashing into the snow with a heavy thud…

Upon seeing this scene, the jaws of Ottosky and the others nearly dropped to the ground.

Ottosky looked at Monkey’s hand and tried his best to shut his mouth. He secretly rolled down his sleeves to cover up his muscles before coughing dryly. “Venerable Monkey, I think you should show us a little respect.”
