After my whole family read my mind, they slayed the villain with a bang, and I won without lifting a

Chapter 207 Um... can I refuse?

Lu Yining looked thoughtful, her head slightly lowered, her index finger placed to her lower lip, her brows slightly furrowed, as if she was seriously considering the question asked by the Monkey King.

After a long pause, she looked up and said, "If you can slap yourself eight times, then I'll let you go."

She paused, then added, "Remember, be strong! If you don't pass, I'll give you another good beating later."

Upon hearing this, the Monkey King hesitated for a long moment, then looked at Lu Yining with a pained and aggrieved expression. Why did he have to slap himself eight times? That must hurt so much…

How embarrassing to slap yourself eight times in front of so many of your underlings...

The Monkey King rubbed his hands together helplessly, then held them in front of his belly. "Um... can I refuse?"

Judging from the monkey king's expression, it was clear at a glance that he was unhappy.

Lu Yining said with a forced smile, "You don't want to? Since you can't do it to yourself, then let me do it, or you can have your underlings do it."

"I'll give you ten seconds to make a decision. If you still can't decide after ten seconds, then I'll take matters into my own hands and slap you eight times."

Upon hearing this, the Monkey King instantly shuddered and quickly exclaimed, "Squeak squeak squeak!"

Ji Shiyan: "I'll do it, I'll do it! I'll do it myself! I'll do it myself!"

The Monkey King nodded emphatically, "Yes, I'll do it myself!"

This woman doesn't know her own strength; if she hits too hard, it'll be the one suffering. This woman is like a superhuman, she has inexhaustible strength! She's terrifying!

Moreover! It would never allow its underlings to slap it! What kind of king is a king who has been slapped in the face by his underlings! How can it maintain its authority in front of its underlings in the future?

Do it yourself!

Self-reliance leads to abundance!

Jiang Xinghe was somewhat puzzled. While watching the play, he asked Director Liu, who was standing next to him, "Why does it have to be eight slaps? Six? Seven? Nine? Ten? Eleven? Why does it have to be eight?"

Lu Yining has already emphasized several times that it was eight slaps.

What does the number eight mean to Lu Yining?

Jiang Xinghe thought he was asking very quietly, but in reality, Lu Yining heard everything he said.

She shook her head: "Of course not. Six, nine, and ten are just so-so, and seven and eleven are even worse. Only eight, with its auspicious sound, sounds great and is extremely pleasant to the ear."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Xinghe suddenly realized that Sister Lu was quite particular.

Director Liu remained silent, only nodding repeatedly.

That's absolutely right! May you prosper! May you prosper all the way! May you prosper even more!

Lu Yining's thoughts were exactly the same as his.

Back then, he wanted to make a fortune, so he notified the crew members of "Treading Through the Stars and Moon" to enter Hengdian and join the crew on the 8th.

Whether or not you ultimately become rich, you should at least have a good omen and feel at peace.

The Monkey King roared inwardly: "Just because you wanted to get rich, you've made me bear so much! You wicked woman!"

However, it dared not delay any longer, for fear that if it was even a second too slow, Lu Yining would walk up to it and personally fan it.

The Monkey King slapped his own face, and a loud slapping sound echoed through the air shortly afterward.

"Snapped--"

"Clap clap-"

"Clap clap clap-"

The eight slaps were fleeting. Realizing he had slapped himself eight times, the Monkey King bowed and staggered forward a few steps, squeaking, "Squeak squeak~"

Ji Shiyan continued translating: "Beautiful and charming young lady, I've finished slapping myself. Don't worry, I used all my strength with every slap, and my face is burning hot right now."

Lu Yining nodded in satisfaction, her face haughty as she stared at the Monkey King.

"Good, you're a trustworthy monkey king. Seeing how sincere you are, I'll forgive you this time. But from now on, you're not allowed to lead your little brothers to cause trouble and bully humans anymore."

"If I see you bullying people again, next time it won't be as simple as slapping yourselves, understand?"

As he finished speaking, Lu Yining raised his fist and waved it at the Monkey King and the monkey underlings who were still lying or sitting on the ground, their eyes flashing with ferocity.

Monkey King: "Squeak squeak squeak~ Squeak squeak~"

The little monkey nodded repeatedly, his attitude respectful: "Squeak squeak squeak~ Squeak squeak squeak~"

Translation tool Ji Shiyan is online again: "The Monkey King said he promises he will not do it again, and that he will treat humans kindly and will not bully them again."

He paused for a moment, then continued, "Little Monkey said that when he sees humans in the future, he will not only not bully them, but will also massage their backs and legs to help them relax and ensure that they can have a good time playing in Qingtian Mountain."

Director Liu let out a soft "yo," and he wasn't so afraid anymore. He swaggered over to the stone chair next to him, sat down, spread his legs slightly apart, and placed his hands on his knees.

He turned his head up once, then, with a show of arrogance, said to the group of unruly monkeys, "Then come over here and give me a shoulder massage and a back rub?"

Jiang Xinghe and the others were stunned by Director Liu's arrogance and stared at him in shock.

Are you really not afraid? You actually dared to go up there and give orders to that bunch of rascals? Aren't you afraid that they'll get tired of massaging your shoulders and just rip your shoulder off?

They didn't expect that Director Liu was truly unafraid; he even looked at the group of mischievous monkeys with anticipation.

What's there to be afraid of? Lu Yining has completely subdued these mischievous monkeys. Do they dare to act recklessly in front of Lu Yining?

He wasn't afraid.

Upon hearing the sound, the mischievous monkey walked straight over to Director Liu, without even glancing at the monkey leader. After reaching Director Liu's side, a 90-degree smile appeared on his lips, and he began to massage Director Liu's back and shoulders with moderate force.

Director Liu himself looked completely relaxed, his eyes even slightly closed in comfort, as if he could fall asleep any second...

Seeing this, Jiang Xinghe and the others were astonished; their eyes nearly popped out of their sockets.

You really did squeeze it?

It looks pretty comfortable! Why don't they... go and try it out too?

The monkey boss walked up to Lu Yining like a lackey, tilted his head, and blinked: "Squeak squeak squeak?"

Ji Shiyan continued, "Beautiful and charming young lady, would you like a massage?"

Lu Yining raised an eyebrow: "Your service attitude is quite good, but I don't need it for the moment, you can leave now."

Monkey King: "Squeak squeak".

"I get it." Director Liu raised his hand: "Is it saying, 'Okay then?'"
