The summer wind brought with it a little heat when it blew through the room.

Sun Mo walked around the bookshelves and would occasionally take a book out and flip through it.

Meanwhile, Zheng Qingfang sat on his wooden chair as he stared unblinkingly at the manuscript in his hand. Subconsciously, his movements grew increasingly gentle, very different from his earlier absent-minded motions, like he was afraid to damage the manuscript.

Honestly speaking, when he first read the manuscript, Zheng Qingfang was filled with disdain. He felt that Sun Mo was talking big.

The paragraph was direct and accurate, but there wasn't any literary talent. To speak bluntly, it was written in the vernacular.

But as he continued reading, he felt the story growing more interesting.

A divine rock that gathered and absorbed the spirit qi of heavens and earth, eventually having a spiritual fetus within it. When the spirit monkey broke out from the stone and flew up to the clouds, Zheng Qingfang was completely stunned into speechlessness.

The main character was actually a monkey?

No? The monkey should be the main character's pet, right?

The emergence of the main character was actually so novel and wondrous. Appearing from a rock? Zheng Qingfang had read books for several tens of years and had never read something like this before.

...

Zheng Qingfang could be considered a widely read, but this opening passage alone made him give it 9 out of 10 points. He was very satisfied.

It was lacking by one point because the writing style seemed a little too crude and simple.

Thinking of this, he wanted nothing more than to modify the words himself. He felt that the literary style had messed up the opening to this piece of godly work. But as he read on, Zheng Qingfang couldn't care less about other things. He got completely immersed in the story.

Heading to the west, the Monkey King was born!

Trading to the edges of the oceans, looking for the art of longevity!

Zheng Qingfang touched his beard with joy when he read that this monkey was playing around with the monkeys in the mountains. From entering the Water Curtain Cave to subduing the other monkeys to self-proclaiming he was the monkey king... After that, when the monkey king saw his subjects aging and dying, he was badly shocked. The monkey king then decided to travel to distant lands by crossing the oceans and seeking out the secret of eternal life. When Zheng Qingfang read until here, he couldn't help but reveal sorrow in his eyes.

Eternal life?

How hard would it be to achieve that?

On his path, the monkey king suffered a lot and was the butt of many jokes. He created many troubles as well. Zheng Qingfang couldn't help but smile when he read through its exploits.

He finally heaved a sigh of relief after reading that the monkey managed to find the Slanted Moon Three Stars Cave on Fangcun Mountain after roaming around for many years.

However, at this point, Zheng Qingfang began panting as he began to feel nervous. Because how could there be any cultivation art for eternal life in this world?

Nevertheless, the plot didn't disappoint Zheng Qingfang. The wild monkey gained the name Sun Wukong and even learned the Seventy-Two Transformation. It also got a cloud that could travel 108,000 miles with a single somersault.

At this moment, this 70-year-old elder, Zheng Qingfang, couldn't help but clap his hands and call out in excitement. He recalled his younger years.

Lu Zhiruo squatted at the side, wanting to read it again after this old man finished it. However, the old man didn't even release his hold on the pages that he had finished reading. How infuriating!
