Chapter 122 - Target Has Been Captured

The Doppelganger Monkey reluctantly nodded and then shook its head. Its response is quite indecisive.

Qin Yi was not angry.

Since this monkey nodded its head first, that means it agreed to his offer. However, it is still a bit hesitant...

Qin Yi went silent for a while before he made another guess.

"You want to take all your treasures with you?"

The Doppelganger Monkey actively nodded its head.

Qin Yi groaned and asked again, "You want to meet your fellow Mystic Beast before going there?"

The Doppelganger Monkey was excited. It nodded its head over and over again.

It was born on this mountain alone with no friends or family. 

In the past, it is often watched some Magical beasts flocking together with their companions and families. Because of that, it was jealous and decided to bother them until they couldn't bear it any longer and move away from this mountain.

Simply put, the Doppelganger Monkey is very lonely and needs a friend to play with. However, one day, it awakened its Mystic Talent—— Doppelganger.

After mastering its Mystic Talent, it creates many doppelgangers like itself, ever since it doesn't feel lonely anymore.

But still, its doppelgangers are a fake after all. At the very least, the Doppelganger Monkey still has self-knowledge.

That's why it was excited when it heard that it could meet its family.

Qin Yi smiled and said, "Fine."

He took out the Mystical Garden from the system storage and controlled his mind.

A second later, two black kittens appeared in his arms.

"Meow?"

Little Star and Little Moon were in a state of confusion. 

They looked at the surrounding area and found out they were not on Star Pearl Island.

They were about to sleep on the branches of the Willow Tree, but then their noses suddenly smelled the smell of an unfamiliar and strange environment.

However, even though they were shocked, they didn't panic, especially after they realized that the person hugging them was someone very familiar.

"Little Star, Little Moon, look, who do we have here? This monkey will become one of your family later. Hurry, greet it!" Qin Yi said like a parent introducing his toddler to another toddler.

"Meow~"

"Meow~"

The two kittens obediently give a soft meow at the same time. 

They looked at the white-haired creature in confusion.

Why are you white?

The Doppelganger Monkey was stunned.

"Wo-hoo?"

Are they not monkeys?

How can creatures other than monkeys become its family?

What's more, they have different fur colors.

Qin Yi more or less knew what this monkey was thinking. Thus, he explained, "Even though they are not monkeys, the three of you come from the same race. Therefore, you are still considered as family. Don't discriminate against one another!"

The Doppelganger Monkey sniffed the two kittens with its peach nose, and indeed, it smelled a very familiar smell from them both.

Even though the two kittens weren't monkeys, they had the same smell.

The Doppelganger Monkey poked the kittens gently, and its action is rewarded with a gentle lick.

"Wo-hoo~"

It was happy and immediately lifted one of the kittens up like a new trophy while jumping up and down.

Qin Yi smiled as he witnessed this. He said to the monkey, "How was that? Do you want to come with me now?"

The Doppelganger Monkey's movements immediately stopped. 

It put down the kitten, and then it tugged Qin Yi's sleeve with wronged expression.

It pointed its finger outwards while speaking in his monkey language again.

"..." Qin Yi's brain was trying hard to translate what the monkey just said.

He looked in the direction where the monkey's finger was pointing.

Outside the cave?

What it exactly wants?

After pondering for quite a while, Qin Yi finally figures it out.

"You want me to kill that big snake?"

The Doppelganger Monkey nodded indignantly, as it said: 'That insidious snake invaded my house, destroyed my property, and even tried to eat me. I will not go in peace if that snake is still alive!'

Getting this confirmation, Qin Yi put on a troubled expression.

Even though the Poisonous Giant Snake was currently injured, it was a Rank 2 Peak Magical Beast after all. Its strength was equivalent to that of a Peak Stage if Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator.

Although Qin Yi has many means, they are only effective at the Early Stage or Intermediate Stage of Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators. He was still far from the match of a cultivator at the Peak Stage of Foundation Establishment Realm.

"Little monkey, it's not too late for a gentleman to take revenge within ten years. What if we come back here again after you become stronger? Once you get stronger, you can personally hack that big snake to death. After all, there is nothing better than killing your enemy with your own hands." Qin Yi tried to persuade the monkey.

"Woo?"

The Doppelganger Monkey was stunned and began to consider this human's words.

It was thinking that what this human said just now had some truth in it.

It definitely wants to take revenge and kill that hateful snake by itself, but it was too weak even after gathering all its doppelganger.

But what if that hateful snake disappeared after it left this place?

Isn't it meaningless?

The Doppelganger Monkey hesitantly looked at the human in front of it.

Qin Yi smiled. When dealing with clever monkeys, patience is required.

He more or less understood what it was worried about. Therefore he continued to say, "Don't worry, little monkey, that big snake won't run away from this place because it still hasn't got its objective. What's more, it has already suffered a loss at the hands of its prey. How could it possibly give up just like that? It definitely won't leave this mountain until it eats you..."

Qin Yi pondered for a while before he came up with an idea, "How about this, you can create a doppelganger or two and occasionally let them disturb the big snake. In that case, it will not suspect that its prey has left. It will not go anywhere else as long as it is still assuming that its prey is still in this mountain. Can you do that, little monkey?"

The Doppelganger Monkey responded with a haughty look. 

Creating a doppelganger or two was a minor matter for him.

It could even create a thousand doppelgangers, what one or two consider as?

Puffs—

Without him making any gestures, two monkeys that looked very much like him emerged from the puff of smoke.

"Hoo, that's great." Qin Yi praises with claps.

This scene somehow reminds him of a particular character of a certain anime.

What is it again?

Sasuke?

Hinata?

Oh right, it's Buroto!

The Doppelganger Monkey is proud of his skills.

Fifteen minutes later, under Qin Yi's smooth persuasion, the Doppelganger Monkey finally agreed to follow him.

After that, Qin Yi transferred all the treasures in this cave to the Mystical Garden under the monkey's intense watch.

'This monkey is really stingy...' Qin Yi helplessly thought to himself.

Alright, he decided. 

He can't put this monkey on Star Pearl Island.

After all, the island was where precious heaven and earth materials grew. It would be bad if this thievery monkey and its doppelgangers dig all those treasures away.

The Mystical Garden is divided into five sectors, with the Star Pearl Island as the central sector. The other four sectors are located in the east, west, south, and north. Each sector is separated by an artificial river whose water flows from the lake surrounding Star Pearl Island.

The river water itself is not ordinary water; it comes from the Water Spring, contains rich spiritual energy, and can nourish the entire land of every sector.

Therefore, although the other four sectors are not as advanced as Star Pearl Island, they are definitely not a barren land.

Qin Yi had created many trees using the Raising Wood Technique. Basically, there is a small artificial forest in every sector, and he has prepared it as a place for living creatures that he will kidna— recruit in the future.

Unfortunately, the time he developed the Mystical Garden was very short; otherwise, he could have developed the land even better.

Due to limited time and manpower, the only properties he had been able to create so far were shady trees and clear rivers. He still had a long way to go to create the ideal paradise.

However, contrary to Qin Yi's expectation, the Doppelganger Monkey was happy about its new environment, especially when it found the spiritual energy here was much thicker than in its previous home.

For it, an austere environment is not a problem. Its doppelgangers can even create ponds using only their tiny claws.

Besides, trees are everywhere. The Doppelganger Monkey and its doppelgangers can use them as shelter.

The only problem here is its treasures. It must find a suitable and secretive place to hide them; otherwise, the human might steal them away.

Therefore, the first thing the Doppelganger Monkey did after arriving here climbed up the tree and looked for a suitable location.

Qin Yi did not stay too long in the Mystical Garden. After he swept everything in the cave, he immediately exited with the two doppelganger monkeys behind him.

After seeing that his master was fine, Yin Cheng immediately breathed a sigh of relief. He immediately walked up to Qin Yi and said, "Congratulations, Master, for your successful capture of the monkey."

"Haha, you sure know it well~." His laughter showed how good his mood was right now.

"Let's go back to town. Our business here is done." He added.

Although Yin Cheng was curious about the monkey, he didn't want to outbound his authority. Hence, he just decided to follow his master silently.

Before Qin Yi left Monkey Mountain, he instructed the two doppelganger monkeys to scatter and multiple themselves first before they executed their task.

The two doppelganger monkeys' minds were connected to the main body; therefore, they had understood their mission without Qin Yi's instructions.
