Hundreds of monkeys felt offended after hearing that. Suddenly, the forest was filled with strange voices made by these monkeys which could make people’s hair stand.
Qian Jin’s brows contracted, which produced a cold wave in the forest. The temperature decreased, and the monkey ceased their growling. Instead, they cuddled each other, and the anger in their eyes was replaced with fear.
The monkey king sitting in middle and enjoying the service of the other monkeys was pushed towards Qian Jin by a host of monkeys.
The monkeys had acute instincts. They instantly realized that the person in front of them was different from those who occasionally showed up here. They felt that this person was a humanoid demon beast, and anyone who dared irritate him would suffer greatly.
Qian Jin forced a smile as he looked at the monkey's hair in his hand. He thought, “If my master or uncle Blake knew that I bullied a monkey, would they mock me?”
“Alas…” Qian Jin turned back and walked towards the demon flamingos’ habitat and lamented, “If I was confronted by these monkeys two years ago, I would’ve had to rack my brains to get the monkey king's hair. Now however, I obtained it without too much effort. Two years, in just two years… the changes are so quick and great.”
Gabriella looked at the magic core in her palm and nodded slightly, thinking to herself, “Two years have really brought about a great change.” She used to be stagnant, but she had been progressing slowly yet firmly during the past two years…
Sophia had a sad face as she remembered the past. Her achievements in the past two years were overshadowed by what had happened on the day they discovered the energy stone lode. Her family and fellow warriors were killed by the greed… She thought, “Alas… the energy stone lode should belong to Qian Jin since he rescued my life.
“Well…” Qian Jin turned back to Sophia whose brows were twisted and said, “I suddenly thought of something. Did you notice any human bodies when we left? I mean… Wil…”
A vengeful intent appeared on the pretty face of Sophia as she shouted, “Wilfred!”
“Yes.” Qian Jin kept nodding his head, “When the avalanche occurred, he should’ve been buried under the snow for two years until now. Even if his body was frozen, shouldn’t we have discovered his corpse along the way, or at least any remains?”
Sophia stood there, stupefied. She recalled what had happened as they left the valley. The snow was just at ankle height, and even if somebody was lying on the ground, they should have easily noticed him, however…
No body… no body! Sophia’s limbs were quivering as she felt enmity spread through her body. She looked up at Qian Jin, who was much taller than her and asked, “You mean…?”
Qian Jin scratched his head and replied with uncertainty, “I’m not quite sure about it, but the possibility that he survived the avalanche is there.”
“Wilfred is still alive…” Sophia clenched her tense fingers firmly and cracked them fiercely with strong hatred. “Is he really alive?”
“Perhaps?” Qian Jin smiled nonchalantly. The energy stones in the lode had been thoroughly excavated, so it didn’t matter whether Wilfred went there! Even if he was still alive and had spread news about the energy stone lode to other people, Qian Jin didn’t need to be afraid of him as telling others that the energy stones had been used up would settle everything down.
“If he is still alive…” Sophia punched on the tree by her side and continued, “I’ll send him to hell!”
Qian Jin looked at Sophia as she twisted her lips and asked, “Can you defeat him?”
“…”
Sophia looked at Qian Jin in silence. She continued her warrior training in the Four Season Valley on a daily basis, but she didn’t exert her full effort the entire time like Gabriella or Qian Jin. As a result, her improvements were limited to a certain degree. If she confronted with Wilfred, it was more likely for her to be insulted by him.
Sophia felt regretful for not having practiced diligently in the Four Season Valley for the past two years as she believed that Wilfred had died.
“What’s the point of regretting?” Qian Jin told her in an aloof manner. “I remember that in the thirteenth reign of Zence Empire, there was a god-tier general called Champiz who didn’t like studying when he was young. He was always ranked last in the warrior commander branch of his academy. However, he suddenly woke up and decided to study in his last year before the entrance examination for advanced academies. His first attempt ended in failure, but he didn’t give up. He applied for another year of schooling at his own cost, and the second time, he passed the examination and was admitted to an advanced academy by the warrior commander. Some years later, he become a god-tier general of his time.”
“He wrote down one sentence in his memories that I have kept in mind.” Qian Jin turned back to Sophia and said with a smile, “It’s never too late to start striving for life, as long as you are determined to do so. Maybe you’ll fail the first time, but as long as you’re still alive, you can try a second time and be successful.”
