Chapter 169: Letter from Xiqi
Then Nezha also brought the White-faced Ape into the little world, keeping it in the mountains first.
He said, "There are wolves in these mountains, be careful not to be eaten by them."
The White-faced Ape hadn’t breathed the fresh mountain air for a long time, and was overjoyed, jumping up and down among the ancient trees and vines. When it was enough, it jumped back in front of Nezha and bowed like a human.
It said, "I’ve been without freedom for decades, seeing the daylight today. If I’m eaten by wolves, it shows my fate is destined to end."
"So you can speak after all."
"I’ve been around humans for decades, learned a bit." The White-faced Ape scratched its ears, "The Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi here is so dense."
Nezha saw that this ape had extraordinary bone structure, possessing God Absorption Realm cultivation but not proficient in any Daoist Skill. So, Nezha had it worship him as a master, teaching it the Five Elements Style Technique.
Then he told it that the people living in the town at the foot of the mountain were all his family and instructed it not to disturb them. He promised that when the opportunity arose in the future, it would be released back into the world.
The White-faced Ape bowed down again, expressing gratitude with its mouth.
Next morning.
