The two of them had been together for seven months. She gave him a name and taught him common sense. He also accidentally taught her a music cultivation technique. When it came to the moment of separation, Yu Huang also felt a little reluctant.
Sheng Xiao could sense their reluctance. He said softly, “You can handle it. I’ll wait for you in front.”
Sheng Xiao wouldn’t interfere with Yu Huang’s decision.
After Sheng Xiao left, Yu Huang walked back to the stupid ape and asked it, “What are you doing here?”
The stupid ape lowered its head and fiddled its hands as it stammered, “I, I will watch you guys leave.”
Yu Huang stood on her tiptoes and knocked the stupid ape on the head. “Idiot, I didn’t ask you to go back.”
At first, the stupid ape didn’t understand what Yu Huang meant.
Yu Huang decided to speak more clearly. “I’ll continue to stay here for more than two years. If you’re willing, you can live with us during this period.”
The stupid ape immediately grinned. “Let’s live together!”
“Then follow me.”

Sheng Xiao stood in the forest and saw Yu Huang walking back with the stupid ape. He didn’t seem surprised or have any objections. He just held Yu Huang’s hand and held back his laughter. “Donor and the others will laugh at you when they see you coming back with a big ape.”
Yu Huang snorted. “How dare he!”
The stupid ape stared at Sheng Xiao and Yu Huang’s hand. He couldn’t help but speed up and chase after them. He held Sheng Xiao’s other hand silently.
Ever since Sheng Xiao grew up, he had only held hands with Yu Huang. When his right hand was suddenly held by someone else, Sheng Xiao was so frightened that he shook off the hand.
The stupid ape was shocked by Sheng Xiao’s actions. It looked at Sheng Xiao in confusion. Thinking that Sheng Xiao didn’t like it, it walked from Sheng Xiao’s back to Yu Huang’s other side and held her left hand. “Friend.” The stupid ape raised its hand that was holding Yu Huang’s hand tightly and shook it. “Friend, hold my hand.”
Sheng Xiao was speechless.
How rude.
Sheng Xiao shouted coldly, “Kunlun, come here. I’ll hold your hand!”
A smile appeared on Yu Huang’s lips.
When the stupid ape heard Sheng Xiao’s shout, it ran to Sheng Xiao and held its hand.
In unfamiliar territory, the plains and valleys were often the most dangerous places. So, the students of the Holy Spirit Academy gathered on the highest mountain peak on the island. This place could withstand the invasion of many little demon beasts. When Sheng Xiao and Yu Huang returned to the camp, it was dark.
At this moment, the students who had gone out to train had just returned with wounds all over their bodies.
The students gathered around the bonfire and were all sharing what they had seen and heard today. As they were talking, Feng Yuncheng suddenly saw Yu Huang. “Yu Huang!” Feng Yuncheng immediately stood up and rushed over from the bonfire to hug Yu Huang tightly. “Yu Huang, you’ve finally found us!”
Yu Huang also hammered Feng Yuncheng’s shoulder hard. She said, “It’s been seven months since we last met. You’ve become tanned.”
Feng Yuncheng immediately let go of Yu Huang and turned around to take out a mirror. “Really? Really? I don’t want to meet Her Highness with a tan.” Beatrice landed on another plate. Feng Yuncheng had been thinking of a way to find Beatrice. He was afraid that if he became tan and ugly, he would be despised by Beatrice.
After all, the only thing Feng Yuncheng could boast about was his handsome face.
Yu Huang was amused by Feng Yuncheng’s narcissism.
At this moment, Donor, Fang Peipei, Estelle, and a few Light Elves surrounded her. When they saw Yu Huang, the first thing Donor said was, “Why did you become ugly?”
Yu Huang retorted, “Why has Prince Donor become thinner too? Everyone says that men can’t be too thin. Your Highness, you should take care of your body. After all, you still have to help the elves.”
Donor was rendered speechless by Yu Huang’s retort. “In terms of cursing, Yu Huang, you’re more capable.” Donor cupped his hands towards Yu Huang to express his admiration.
Estelle pointed at the big ape behind Yu Huang and asked, “Yu Huang, is this big ape your demon beast?”
“It’s not a baboon, but an ape.” Yu Huang turned around and pulled Kunlun to her side. She introduced him to everyone. “Its name is Kunlun, and it’s my friend. It will live with us next.”
“Kunlun?!” Everyone was shocked by the bold name.
Yu Huang naturally knew why they had such a huge reaction. She explained, “It only named itself Kunlun because it admired the Kunlun Divine Master so much. Don’t misunderstand.”
Everyone heaved a sigh of relief.
As for Kunlun, it raised its right hand and waved at everyone as Yu Huang had taught it in the past. Then, it opened its mouth and revealed a mouthful of white teeth. It greeted them warmly, “Hello, friends. I’m Kunlun. Please take care of me in the future.”
All the students were silent at first, then they surrounded Kunlun in wonder.
“Impressive, Yu Huang. You actually taught an ape to speak the Divine Moon Empire’s language.”
“We’ve encountered countless demon beasts on this island, but those demon beasts are all speaking languages that we don’t understand. The ape you brought back can actually speak the Divine Moon Empire’s language. Alright, alright. From now on, Kunlun will be our translator.”
Just like that, Kunlun became Donor and the others’ translator.
At night, Yu Huang chatted with Donor and the others for the entire night. Only then did she know that there were a total of 38 students who had landed on this island. However, five students had been killed by demon beasts one after another. Now, there were only 33 students left on this island.
The addition of Yu Huang and Kunlun gave them new strength.
Sheng Xiao saw that the moon had risen into the deep sky. He said, “Everyone, you have to go to the Black Well to kill the Thousand-Faced Demon Spider tomorrow. Sleep early tonight. I’ll be on duty.” It was indeed Sheng Xiao’s turn to be on duty tonight. Even if Yu Huang had just returned, Sheng Xiao couldn’t slack off.
Yu Huang stood up as well. “I’ll accompany you.”
The two of them arrived at the entrance of the mountain and sat down on a rock. Yu Huang asked Sheng Xiao, “Were the five students really killed by the demon beasts?” Yu Huang was skeptical.
Sheng Xiao knew what Yu Huang was thinking. He shook his head and said, “The academy did send supervisors, but those demon beasts were too powerful. When the supervisors arrived, they had already been killed. This is not a peaceful place, nor is it a pure training ground. This is a battlefield where life and death don’t matter. This place is even crueler than the Doomsday Battlefield.”
In the Doomsday Battlefield, one could still take off their wristbands to survive after being defeated. But here, defeat meant death.
Yu Huang tried her best to be calm as she asked, “Who died?” She was afraid to hear her good friends’ names.
Sheng Xiao said five names. Although those people were not Yu Huang’s best friends, they were still classmates who had spoken to her in school and had some friendship with her. She leaned on Sheng Xiao’s shoulder and sighed. “How cruel.” However, Yu Huang was curious about how Feng Yuncheng survived.
“Fourth Brother’s cultivation level is the weakest. How did he survive?”
“Him?” Sheng Xiao’s expression suddenly became strange. He said, “He’s not weak at all.”
“What do you mean?”
Sheng Xiao said mysteriously, “You’ll know tomorrow.”
