It was a long time before Yeon-woo came out of the abyss.

『Are you here?』

“Son, where did you learn to speak so rudely…”

The Monkey King’s exuviae gently raised his right fist and smiled. 『Do you want to die?』

“Be careful with your words…”

Bang! With a smile, the Monkey King’s exuviae swung his fist. A shockwave passed by Yeon-woo’s temple and smacked on the wall of darkness in the distance. Soon, Yeon-woo heard the sound of something breaking. 『Huh? What did you say?』

“Nothing. I was wrong.” Yeon-woo quickly bowed at a ninety-degree angle.

『Alright. Be careful. You’re on the cusp of blooming. It would be a waste to die now, right?』 The Monkey King’s exuviae did not seem bothered or particularly angered by Yeon-woo’s attitude. However, it seemed like he was ready to give Yeon-woo a beating at any time.

Yeon-woo had almost blurted out, “You have an aunt, too.” However, it seemed like the Monkey King’s exuviae would really pound his head in if he continued talking. Although it was his own Illusory World, Yeon-woo had no plans on fighting with the Monkey King’s exuviae. This exuviae had managed to craft his own Ruyi Bang and turned the Crawling Chaos into his vassal. Nothing good would come from infuriating him.

『Enough with the jokes.』 The Monkey King’s exuviae narrowed his eyes as he lowered his fist. 『First off, how did you do it?』  He wanted to know how Yeon-woo managed to survive in the abyss.

Regardless of how much Yeon-woo’s...
