Monkey Demon

There were many girls on the island who were the only child in their families. It was not Shao Zhan’s wish to see the girls stay in this place and wither till their death. Whether or not they could get out of this place was entirely up to them.

Although Shao Zhan was kind, he was not stupid. He naturally had to consider all aspects carefully. Since he was allowing this to happen, he could not leave any room for mistakes.

The interaction between the couple made the girls following behind them crave for more. Jiang Danhe’s gentlemanly behavior tonight had captured the hearts of all the girls.

After seeing the two of them return to their rooms, the girls reluctantly walked towards their respective accommodations. There weren’t many good men of this caliber left. Compared to the other men tonight, he was simply outstanding. Moreover, most of these girls’ fathers were not monogamous. Having grown up in such an environment, they were aware that it was almost impossible to meet a man who was so chaste and devoted.

Some girls thought that it would be a good idea to become Jiang Danhe’s concubine. At the very least, it was better than being someone’s first wife and having to live with countless younger sisters.

Hence, overnight, Jiang Danhe became Mr. Popular. All the unmarried girls fought to meet with him.

After glaring at another flower girl, Xiaoguo was speechless. She said sourly, “Jiang Danhe, you are truly amazing!”

Jiang Danhe’s hair immediately stood on end. He immediately had a bad feeling and said fawningly, “I am totally ignoring them.”

Xiaoguo was about to say something when another flower girl floated over from afar. She turned her head angrily and ignored him.

“Xiaoguo? Xiaoguo?”

No matter how Jiang Danhe called out to her, she did not look back at him.

As for why Xiaoguo called them flower girls, there was a reason behind it. Take the person walking towards them for example. She had five or six huge flowers on her head and was dressed completely in pink. Her makeup also made her look like a flower. Before she got close, they could already smell the fragrance of her perfume.

“Ahem.” Xiaoguo rubbed her nose and coughed uncomfortably.

Seeing this, Jiang Danhe immediately poured water and handed it to her.

Xiaoguo gave him a sideways glance before taking it from him with reluctance.

“Good morning, General. You’re here to admire the flowers too? What a coincidence…”

“…”

After a moment of awkwardness, the woman continued, “Madam is here too…”

Xiaoguo frowned when she saw the woman’s expression which looked like she was saying, “I just noticed you. I hope you are not offended.” Out of sight, out of mind. She decided to let Jiang Danhe handle the woman.

“Xiaoguo?” Jiang Danhe looked nervously at Xiaoguo, who had suddenly gotten up and left. He quickly got up and chased after her.

The girl, who was left alone, had a look of disbelief on her face. Such a beautiful girl was greeting him, but he didn’t even look at her?!

In the end, the woman couldn’t stand the embarrassment. She stomped her feet and ran away.

At this moment, Yu Zhizhi appeared from the side and glared hatefully at the woman who had just run away. She snorted heavily. This morning, that woman was already the fifth person to come and seduce Brother Jiang. These people were really shameless!

On the other side, Xiaoguo was leisurely enjoying the warm morning breeze and breathing in the fresh air. As expected, there was no smell of scented powder here. It was really delightful.

“Xiaoguo…” Jiang Danhe quickly caught up and held her hand.

“Hmph!”

Xiaoguo turned her head and snorted. “Why did you come so quickly?”

Jiang Danhe did not speak. He started to sniff at the air.

Xiaoguo pushed his head away and asked curiously, “What are you doing?”

“Do you smell vinegar?”

Xiaoguo took a sniff and said seriously, “No.”

“Then why do I smell the scent of jealousy?” Jiang Danhe looked at her meaningfully.

“Good lord.” Xiaoguo realized that he was referring to her as a jealous woman.

“You… you…” Xiaoguo stammered. “I’m ignoring you. I’m going over there!”

Xiaoguo shook off his hand angrily and walked to the side alone.

“Let’s go together…” Jiang Danhe did not get angry. When she tried to shake him off, he jogged to her side and held her hand. No matter how hard she struggled, he refused to let go until she stopped struggling.

Xiaoguo looked at the thick-skinned Jiang Danhe and turned to laugh silently. “What a bad guy, attracting the attention of all the ladies!”

Ever since the banquet yesterday, Jiang Danhe had returned to vacation mode. He brought her and three other people with him. They took their time to admire the flowers and enjoyed a picnic. They were enjoying themselves thoroughly.

For some reason, the flower girls who used to approach Jiang Danhe from time to time suddenly stopped bothering him. Xiaoguo had a feeling that Jiang Danhe had done something to them. But when she asked him, he didn’t say anything and feigned ignorance. She had no choice but to stop asking him about it.

It was another good day. Zhuang Zhuang and Wen Xiaoyi were lying under a tree on a piece of floral cloth spread on the ground. They were looking at Li Shouji who was perched on the tree.

Xiaoguo sat by their side and wiped the sweat off their foreheads. They were running around earlier on and were now perspiring profusely. Fortunately, the temperature on the island was cool. Otherwise, they would have suffered from heatstroke if they ran like this on the mainland.

At this moment, Xiaoyi pointed at Li Shouji and suddenly burst out laughing. “Haha, Zhuang Zhuang, look. Doesn’t he look like Sun Wukong?”

When Zhuang Zhuang heard him, he looked at Li Shouji carefully and said in surprise, “He really looks like it!”

Xiaoguo put away her handkerchief and looked up as well. She smiled softly. There was a slight resemblance.

“Who is Sun Wukong?”

Li Shouji scratched his head in puzzlement and jumped down from the tree.

Zhuang Zhuang answered quickly, “It’s a book that I got from Mother.”

“Book?”

Li Shouji also liked to read books, but why hadn’t he heard of Sun Wukong?

“It’s a pictorial book. As in a hand-drawn one.”

Zhuang Zhuang replied proudly.

Li Shouji was amused when he heard that. His sister-in-law’s drawing skills were pretty mediocre.

“Then who is Sun Wukong?”

“A monkey!”

Xiaoyi answered quickly. He liked Sun Wukong the most. He was invincible and was capable of the 72 Transformations.

“A monkey demon?” So it was a demon. Li Shouji waved his hand and said nonchalantly, “How am I similar to a demon?”

“What demon?”

His words attracted the criticisms of the two little ones. They would never allow anyone to blaspheme the Great Sage!

Li Shouji was pulled to the side by the two children and was forced to accept their brainwashing regarding the Great Sage, Sun Wukong.

Xiaoguo looked at his miserable expression and laughed unkindly.

At this moment, Jiang Danhe finally returned with a basket. He could hear their laughter from afar. He asked curiously, “What are you guys laughing at?”

“You’re back.” Although the distance traveled was short, he was perspiring a little. Xiaoguo pulled him to sit down and wiped the sweat off his forehead. She continued, “It’s nothing actually. Li Shouji was looking at the surroundings while being perched on the tree. Xiaoyi mentioned that he looked like Sun Wukong. They are now introducing to him who Sun Wukong is.”

Jiang Danhe smiled when he heard this. He reached out and handed the basket to her. “See if I have missed anything.”

Xiaoguo took it happily and lifted the cotton cloth. A gust of cold air instantly hit her in the face. The heat she felt earlier on had completely disappeared.

In the past two days, the weather was scorching hot, so ice cubes were distributed to all the rooms to cool down. Although the temperature here was lower, she still needed ice cubes to relieve the heat.

After asking around, Xiaoguo found out that the ice cubes were actually made from spring water. Hence, she came up with the idea of making ice porridge. Every summer, it is a must for her to eat ice cream and ice porridge. From a large piece of ice, she started shaving it to make shaved ice. She only stopped when she had five full bowls of shaved ice.

Moreover, the variety of sweet beans in the kitchen was especially comprehensive. There were red beans, barley grains, white beans, green beans, and purple flower beans.

In addition, they also received fresh fruits like strawberries and mangoes every day. There were so many fruits that she had difficulty finishing them. Therefore, she made the fruits into jams so that they could be added to the ice porridge.
