This scene is heartwarming.

But only the little poison knows how much she has sacrificed to protect these exotic beasts.

Only she knows the hardships she endured!

Thinking of this, Zhao Yi felt even more furious.

In the original novel, the male protagonist must have discovered these weaknesses of the little poison.

Then he easily brought her under his wing!

When Zhao Yi thought about the male protagonist using his money to win over the little poison, and then the little poison destroyed Great Xia, he became so angry that his forehead almost burst.

"He really deserves to die!"

The little poison watched her friends eating and a smile blossomed on her face.

She hopped over to Zhao Yi and offered him a fist-sized, bright red object.

"Master, this is a red fruit from the forest. You invited everyone to eat, so I invite you to eat too!"

Zhao Yi took the red fruit and examined it. The fruit was vibrant and rosy, with a faint fruit fragrance, along with a subtle herbal scent.

Perhaps it was an illusion, but Zhao Yi thought he could also smell a hint of alcohol from the fruit.

This was the first time Zhao Yi had seen such a fruit.

Curious, he asked, "What kind of fruit is this?"

The little poison replied, "People who gather herbs call it Monkey Fruit. It grows on the tree at Golden-haired Monkey's place."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Yi glanced at the group of animals fighting over food and raised an eyebrow: "If I'm not mistaken, the golden-haired one must be that golden-colored monkey, right?"

Seeing the little poison's eyes light up, Zhao Yi knew he had guessed correctly.

The black dog was called Black Stripe, and the golden monkey was called Golden-haired Monkey.

It makes sense!

The little poison nodded repeatedly, "Master, you're amazing!"

Zhao Yi: "..."

Thank you.

But there's no need for compliments!

The little poison continued, "Golden-haired Monkey is very skilled. It makes a wonderful liquid that hunters on the mountain call wine, and they've given it a name—'Monkey Wine'. Those hunters are quite awful, often stealing Golden-haired Monkey's 'Monkey Wine', which always makes Golden-haired Monkey furious."

Monkey Wine?

Zhao Yi's eyes sparkled as he looked at the golden-haired monkey, thinking about how to lure it away.

Monkey Wine is quite famous.

Top-grade Monkey Wine isn't inferior to Prince Zhao Mian's rouge!

Most importantly, Zhao Yi can drink Monkey Wine too.

Zhao Mian's rouge is high-proof alcohol, too strong for Zhao Yi's taste.

Monkey Wine is a fruit wine, sweet and sour, suitable for women and children.

The monkey's reactions were still sharp.

As soon as Zhao Yi glanced at the golden-haired monkey, it immediately looked up alertly.

The golden little monkey's head scanned the surroundings cautiously. Seeing no danger, it went back to devouring a banana.

The little poison finished treating Black Stripe's wounds and came to Zhao Yi's side.

Looking at her friends eating, the little poison thought of something, hesitated, and asked Zhao Yi, "Master, I heard from them that you are going to be the emperor in the future. Is being an emperor a big position?"

Zhao Yi thought for a moment and nodded, "An emperor is indeed a big position. All officials are under my command."

The little poison's eyes lit up, "Then can you order those hunters not to hunt my friends?"

Zhao Yi was taken aback for a moment before shaking his head.

"I'm afraid not!"

Seeing the little poison's eyes instantly dim, he shook his head, "As for why I can't give that order, I could explain it with the food chain, ecology, natural environment, and biodiversity."

"But with your knowledge, after hearing all these things, you might not only fail to understand, but it could also affect your perception and judgment."

"So I'll try to explain it with the simplest analogy. If you still don't understand, just remember this: hunters hunting is beneficial, not harmful, to your friends."

Not everyone is suited for studying.

Some people become wise by studying, while others become more foolish the more they study.

The little poison belongs to the latter category.

She's already past the age for enlightenment, and trying to force knowledge beyond her understanding on her could destroy her original perception.

The little poison might be ruined!

Thinking of this, Zhao Yi said to the little poison, "The reason I don't ban hunters from hunting is the same as why I don't ban wild beasts from eating people."

"Hunters can hunt. If they catch something, they make money. If not, they go hungry."

"Wild beasts can also resist. If they win, they have a feast. If they lose, they become food on someone else's cutting board."

"This is the Law of nature, and also the Heavenly Dao!"

The little poison didn't understand the Law of nature and Heavenly Dao, but she understood Zhao Yi's point about wild beasts eating people.

Reflectively, she said, "It's like those beasts that keep attacking us. If they win, my friends get eaten by them. If they lose, we eat them. Master, you can't stop hunters from hunting, just like those beasts won't give up attacking us. It's an instinct engraved in their bodies!"

Zhao Yi raised an eyebrow, "Correct, that's exactly the point. You're even wiser than I imagined!"

The little poison's face fell, looking a bit troubled, "Those beasts eyeing us are too strong. Even though my friends and I try hard, we always end up losing."

Zhao Yi replied casually, "In battles, it's really just about money! I saw those beasts you mentioned earlier; they're so thin and ready to topple at the slightest breeze! As long as your friends are well-fed, dealing with them is not a problem! With the amount of money you have now, it's easy to feed them."

He paused, "However, this introduces a new problem."

The little poison was busy calculating how much food she could buy with the gold coins she recently earned. Upon hearing Zhao Yi, she looked up in confusion, "Master, what problem?"
