After dinner, Ye Qiu took Bai Lan home. Ye Qiu lingered, refusing to leave, and knocked Bai Lan onto the sofa.

A night of romance ensued.

The next morning, after breakfast, Ye Qiu and Bai Lan went to the company, met with Lan Ying and the two other girls, and then drove to the nature reserve.

The company employees enviously watched as the black Audi drove away, reluctantly boarding the bus amidst groans.

Jiangnan City Nature Reserve.

Surrounded by four goddesses, Ye Qiu wandered leisurely.

He was too conspicuous. Wherever he went, he attracted looks of envy and jealousy.

Suddenly, Sha Beibei stopped, pointed to the monkeys hanging upside down on a nearby tree, and excitedly said:

"Ye Qiu, those monkeys look so cute, let's go see the monkeys!"

"Yes, yes! I want to see the monkeys too!"

"I want to go too!"

The other company girls excitedly shouted and followed along. Bai Lan laughed and followed as well.

Ye Qiu was helpless. In the past, when he was in the army, he often performed tasks in the forests and had seen many monkeys. He was naturally not interested, but seeing everyone's excitement, he followed along helplessly.

"Ah!" As they arrived at the spot, Sha Beibei suddenly covered her ears and screamed, her eyes full of fear!

On the big tree, a monkey unexpectedly grabbed a fruit and, baring its teeth, threw it towards the crowd, aiming right at Sha Beibei!

The event was too sudden. Sha Beibei never expected that the monkeys in the scenic area would attack tourists. For a moment, she was at a loss, not knowing how to dodge.

Just as she thought she would be hit on the head by the fruit, a large hand suddenly appeared in front of her, instantly catching the fruit.

It was Ye Qiu!

With the crisis averted, Sha Beibei took a couple of deep breaths, shook Ye Qiu's arm, and complained: "These monkeys are not cute at all, let's leave and play somewhere else."

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

Before Ye Qiu could respond, a sudden whooshing sound arose!

Within just a dozen seconds, more than twenty monkeys climbed the tree consecutively and began throwing fruits at the crowd!

In an instant, the fruits, like a storm of wind and rain, pelted towards the group!

"What the hell, why are these monkeys attacking? I just fed them bananas!"

"Run! Quickly run! These grinning monkeys are clearly mad, this is not just an attack, they seem intent on killing!"

"Damn it, how is this place managed? How did they get such a group of crazy monkeys?"

All around, tourists were covering their heads, screaming, and fleeing in all directions.

"Ye Qiu, let's go quickly, these monkeys must be on something today."

"Let's leave, it's too scary here!"

Ye Qiu chuckled: "We can't just leave like this. These monkeys bullied you all, I must seek justice for you."

Having said that, Ye Qiu already leapt into the tree before them!

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

Seeing Ye Qiu on the tree, the monkey group panicked, chattering incessantly and wildly throwing fruits at Ye Qiu.

There were many fruits, and the attack speed was fast!

But, Ye Qiu's reflexes were even faster!

His movements were more agile!

He used the tree trunk to shuttle continuously on the big tree. No matter how fierce the monkeys' attacks were, or how many fruits there were, they couldn't touch a single hair on him.

Meanwhile, Ye Qiu waved his right arm repeatedly, catching each fruit that came his way!

After ten seconds, Ye Qiu shook a fruit twice, preparing to launch a counterattack on the monkeys!

"Chirp, chirp!" Seeing his posture, the leading Monkey King immediately jumped out, mocking incessantly and even made a middle finger gesture.

"Chirp, chirp!"

"Chirp, chirp, chirp, chirp!"

The other monkeys joined the Monkey King in mocking Ye Qiu.

At this moment, Ye Qiu moved, and the fruit in his hand was suddenly thrown out!

The Monkey King showed even more disdain, making a face at him.

However, just as the Monkey King was about to dodge, the large fruit hit its head with a bang.

The next moment, the Monkey King's body trembled, its eyes suddenly widened.

It couldn't understand why, despite having the fastest reflexes, it still got hit on the head?

Bang! Bang! Bang!

While the Monkey King was shocked, Ye Qiu threw one fruit after another, and in less than ten seconds, he had hit all the monkeys on the head.

"Chirp, chirp, chirp!"

The monkeys finally realized they had met their match, panicking, they screamed incessantly and fled in all directions.

Ye Qiu had no intention of pursuing a few monkeys, but instead jumped off the tree, began circling it, observing closely. He thought, if these monkeys concentrated their attack from this tree, then if there's any issue, it must be on this tree!

Sure enough, after a dozen seconds, Ye Qiu stopped his footsteps, his gaze locked on a fist-sized tree hole on the trunk!

As he got closer, he immediately caught a faint fragrance wafting into his nose.

Ye Qiu's expression sharpened, a hint of delight on his face.

Monkey Wine!

There was Monkey Wine inside this tree!

No wonder these monkeys didn't want anyone near this tree!

Ye Qiu approached again and soon saw clearly that there was actually a natural stone bowl inside the tree hole, filled with a light golden liquid.

The aroma he could sense was even stronger!

"It's really Monkey Wine!" Confirming his thoughts, Ye Qiu didn't hesitate to reach out, ready to take the Monkey Wine.

This was truly a treasure!

The so-called Monkey Wine is made by monkeys collecting forest fruits and stacking them in tree holes. The fruits at the bottom, compressed by those on top, burst and produce fruit syrup which over time, turns into wine.

Moreover, the trees capable of producing Monkey Wine must be hollow and sealed to prevent rot throughout winter, and how many trees can meet such conditions?

Most importantly, real Monkey Wine lasts only a season; as time passes, the wine decreases, and oftentimes, even if Monkey Wine appears, it's almost impossible to discover.

Therefore, Monkey Wine is a rare gem that's incredibly precious!

Ye Qiu never thought he would find Monkey Wine in this heavily trafficked nature reserve!

Ye Qiu took a deep breath, the intoxicating aroma made him feel pleasantly light and floaty.

"I must try it!" Ye Qiu couldn't resist any longer, reached out and dipped a finger into the stone bowl in the tree hole, then brought it to his mouth.

The next second, he experienced an unprecedented sense of comfort, with every pore on his body relaxing.

It was so comfortable, truly an exquisite taste only found in heaven!

"Ye Qiu, what are you doing there!" came the urging voice of Bai Lan from not far away.

"I'll be right out, bringing you a big surprise!" Ye Qiu shouted back.

"Chirp, chirp, chirp! Chirp, chirp, chirp!"

The monkeys that had retreated now understood Ye Qiu's words, and immediately panicked, screeching and grabbing rocks as they charged over.

Within seconds, Ye Qiu was besieged by the fierce monkey group.

Every monkey had a terrifying expression, their eyes filled with resentment as if they would fight to death if Ye Qiu dared to even touch the Monkey Wine!
