"Oh, another one. What is your name, young kid?"

Zheng could not believe that something like this is happening in front of him. Zheng breathing is getting harder and harder. The man in front of him was something he never saw in his entire life.

The man standing in front of him suddenly smiled and said, "Relax kid. Haha. I'm not going to hurt you. I was just surprised at seeing another one like you. Haha!"

Zheng could not believe what he had heard. Moments later, something like a heavy object was removed from his chest. Zheng's breathing became normal again.

"Thank you so much," Zheng said. "and sorry If I disturb your rest." His manners changed completely.

The man smiled at him and said, "Zheng... Hmm... What a nice name. Haha! Then, are hungry?"

"Hmm... Actually, yes."

Magically, an enormous apple appeared on the hand of the man. He grabs Zheng's right hand and puts the apple in it with a smile on his face, "This food will help you. Eat it."

Since coming into this world, Zheng never ate anything. His stomach growled the moment he scanned the apple's beauty and its size. He immediately ate it without reservation as the man silently watching him with a warm smile on his face.

In a blink of an eye, Zheng finished eating the apple.

Zheng and the pale-skinned man sat in the slid of rocks staring face to face.

"Again, I would like to thank you for giving me food." Zheng bowed his head in thankfulness.

"Haha, no need to go that far. There's plenty of that in this forest. Even you can get those. Haha."

"I will remember your deeds in my entire life." Zheng was happy, no matter what happens, he will return the favor three-fold the amount.

Hearing the Zheng's kind-hearted promise, the pale-skinned man laugh louder, "HAHAHAHA! I like you kid. I admire your character. "

The pale-skinned man looked at Zheng seriously and said, "I don't see any malice in your heart, you have a good intention."

Zheng looked in confusion as he could not comprehend what the man is saying. Pretending he understood it, Zheng simply nodded and smiled.

The pale-skinned man nodded and suddenly stood up while his white kimono fluttered by the sudden breeze of the wind. Zheng sensed a refreshing aura covering him as he stared at the pale-skinned man.

"Now I know that you have a good heart and no evil intention, I would like you to meet my child."

And then, Zheng heard a whistle.

The sound of the whistle was not loud nor quiet but soft like a pillow in his ears.

The trees in his right side shook. Soon, the trees surrounding them shook as well.

Moments later, some weird creatures appeared running in the man's position.

Zheng counted each of them in his mind, '1,2,3... 9!', and he was shocked beyond belief.

The nine creature positioned themselves in a circular formation as the man and Zheng being in the middle.

Zheng who was standing in the middle, felt the heavy pressure emitting on the nine weird creature's body and each of them more terrifying than the next. Zheng’s face was pale and drenched in sweat.

In just a single day, Zheng could not count how many times he was shocked. 'This world crazy.'

"Please stop teasing him. You all need to behave when someone came here. Don't just jump into conclusion." The pale-skinned lectured the nine creatures. Each one of them covered their head in embarrassment. Soon, the pressure emitting on their body vanished like smoke.

The pale-skinned smiled and introduced Zheng to them, "Raise your head and meet Zheng. He just came earlier a while ago. Be nice to him."

"Nice to meet you!"

Simultaneously, all nine creatures bowed their head. 'They talked?!' Zheng's mouth open wide, and for the nth time, he witnessed another shocking scene.

Zheng recovered from his shocked and also bowed his head, "Nice meeting you all, I'm Zheng. Please take good care of me."

After the introduction, the nine creatures went on their own business. Zheng noticed that each of them possessed a different personality based on this alone. Zheng also noticed they all have a different appearance. Notably, he saw the one he encountered before. The red-furred monkey. But that was all in the past. To be more precise, Zheng wants to bury that experience at the bottom of the earth.
