Looking at the fish in the bucket, then meeting the monkeys' grinning faces, Mu Shiyue fell silent.
Before she had even properly started, it'd already backfired.
Taking a deep breath, she opened her mouth, preparing to admit that she hadn't caught these fish herself.
But before she could speak, she heard Liu Yizi say in amazement, "Senior Mu is too amazing, even these monkeys have learned to catch fish from you!"
Mu Shiyue: ???
As soon as Liu Yizi said this, it immediately drew agreement from the others.
"As expected of master, you're too amazing!"
"Worthy of being master, you're just that awesome!"
Everyone's rainbow farts instantly poured out.
Looking at their sincere, admiring faces, Mu Shiyue felt like she was about to crack.
She hadn't expected that she had such a towering image in their hearts.
It's already like this and they still wouldn't question it at all?!
Mu Shiyue felt indescribable.
She let out a breath and admitted, "Actually, these fish weren't caught by me, they were all caught by them."
She'd thought that after saying this, everyone would change their tune.
But unexpectedly, everyone still looked at her with reverence.
"We know that it must be master who taught them!"
"Monkeys are naturally good at learning. Learning fishing from master is completely normal!"
Mu Shiyue: "..."
She's already numb.
How many layers of filters had her disciples added to her???
It wasn't just the disciples, even Liu Yizi had a face full of admiration, "Senior Mu is really amazing!"
—If only I had such a master!
Looking at the young people's sincere expressions, Mu Shiyue was already completely speechless.
She began to doubt herself, had she brainwashed them?
Or was it that living together really caused this kind of influence?
Mu Shiyue had nothing left to say.
Perhaps even if it really backfired, the disciples would still applaud wildly, saying she must've done it on purpose to teach them!
Thinking of this, Mu Shiyue simply fell silent.
"Wo wo wo~"
The monkeys had no idea what the humans were talking about. They stared at Mu Shiyue, wanting more wine from her.
Mu Shiyue let out a breath and said helplessly, "There really isn't any more! Even if you bring all the fish from the water, there still won't be any wine!"
"Wo wo wo~" The monkey king gestured while jumping around.
It remembered there's still one jar left!
"…." Mu Shiyue's mouth twitched and laughed out of anger, "Then you still have to leave some for us to drink, right?"
"Wo wo wo~" The monkey king pointed at the disciples and called out.
"What is the monkey king saying?" Meng Fanzé leaned toward Chu Jingzhuo and asked.
Chu Jingzhuo looked down at Xiao Qing in his hand.
"Hiss hiss hiss~"
Then Chu Jingzhuo's mouth twitched.
"The monkey king says that since we can't drink much anyway, we might as well give it to them."
Meng Fanzé almost jumped up, "We may not drink much, but we can still drink it!"
He was very unhappy, "Master personally brewed this wine, we've only had it once!"
As for the tea from before, they drank it every day.
Although they might not be able to withstand the strength of the wine yet, he believed that if they drank it a few more times, they would be able to handle it!
They just needed practice!
Just like the monkey wine before.
The first time they drank it, they also got drunk.
After that, they consciously trained their alcohol tolerance.
Now, after drinking several times, their endurance has improved.
Master's personally brewed wine wasn't much, they also wanted to drink it more often.
"No." Mu Shiyue also shook her head, her attitude firm, "No matter how many fish you bring, you can't have the remaining jar."
As soon as she said this, she saw the disciples' eyes light up instantly.
Especially Meng Fanzé, who clapped happily, "Master is the best!"
She couldn't help but laugh.
Only then did she realize that they liked that mushroom wine so much.
She'd thought that after being poisoned once, they would be afraid.
Now it seemed she had underestimated them.
"Wo wo wo~" The monkey king still refused to give up, jumping around.
"No." Mu Shiyue raised a finger and shook it, "No more."
Suddenly, an idea flashed in her mind, "Why don't you brew it yourselves? You've seen me brew it before anyway. Just find the materials and brew it yourselves, then you can drink as much as you want!"
The monkey king, which had been jumping, suddenly stopped, its expression turning serious.
That's right, that actually sounded like a good idea!
Chu Jingzhuo also spoke up, "Yes, Senior Monkey King, your monkey wine was already so good before. Just brew more yourselves."
Xin Jinrui added, "Senior, your experience is much richer than ours, you can definitely do it!"
Anyway, the last jar of wine couldn't be given to them.
"I still have some mushrooms and bamboo here!" Qin Yiwei directly took out the mushrooms and bamboo used before.
"Wo wo~"
The monkey king blinked, thinking about the feasibility.
Then it looked at its subordinates.
The monkeys called out to it.
"Senior, you can definitely do it!" the disciples said in unison.
With everyone saying so, the monkey king finally made a decision.
It took the mushrooms and bamboo from Qin Yiwei, nodded at them, and then led the monkeys away.
Seeing them leave, everyone finally let out a sigh of relief.
They had finally protected the last jar of wine, it wasn't easy at all!
Liu Yizi looked curiously at the monkeys' departing backs and couldn't help asking Jiang Yunnuan beside her, "Brewing wine… requires mushrooms and bamboo?"
Jiang Yunnuan nodded, "Yes! Don't you know? Wine brewed from mushrooms and bamboo is very delicious!"
Jiang Yunnuan spoke so decisively and confidently that Liu Yizi began to doubt her own understanding.
She had never heard that brewing wine required mushrooms and bamboo!
But seeing Jiang Yunnuan's confident expression, she thought that perhaps her own knowledge was too limited.
Yes, it must be because her knowledge was too limited.
After all, she had only just reached Golden Core Stage. How could she have seen such a vast world?
Besides, if it didn't work, why would the monkeys crave that wine so much?
After thinking it through, Liu Yizi began to reflect.
The world was vast, she would need to observe more, listen more, and speak less in the future.
Splash!
The stunned fish woke up and jumped out of the overcrowded bucket, drawing everyone's attention again.
"Ao ao!" Little Tiger Baby who was guarding the bucket, immediately struck with a shadowless claw, knocking the fish unconscious again.
"Let's put these fish somewhere first." Mu Shiyue refocused and said.
"Where should we put them? Or should we kill them first?" Xin Jinrui was already sharpening his knife eagerly.
"Hmm…" Mu Shiyue stroked her chin, her eyes suddenly lighting up, "We can build a moat!"
"A moat?" everyone said in unison.
"Yes." Mu Shiyue acted on a whim, "We can dig a river around the sect and enclose our houses inside. The scenery will be nice too!"
"This… wouldn't the workload be too big? How long would it take us?"
After all, according to their previous plan, their new houses covered a very large area!
To surround several acres of land, how long would that river have to be?
"Hey, we have helpers!" Ke Chongbo suddenly laughed.
Following his gaze, everyone looked toward the unconscious group of people on the ground.
