At this moment, seemingly aware of Yu Zi Yu’s scrutinizing gaze, the Panda suddenly turned his head and grinned, asking, “Divine Tree, have you thought of a name for me?”

“A name, huh?” Yu Zi Yu then smiled and nodded.

“What is it?” the Panda asked with a hint of surprise, looking a bit excited.

“Do you enjoy drinking alcohol?” Yu Zi Yu threw another question, and did not give a direct answer.

“Drink alcohol?” The Panda was momentarily taken aback, and a little puzzled.

But after a moment, as if he had realized something, the Panda’s eyes lit up with excitement. “Are you talking about the alcohol of Humans?”

“No.” Yu Zi Yu shook his head slightly, a sly smile forming on his lips.

He then looked towards a nearby Golden Monkey and said, “Fetch some Monkey Wine for the Panda.”

“Yes, Lord Divine Tree.” Pursing his lips into a smile, the Golden Monkey immediately dashed towards the depths of Misty Mountains.

As for the ‘Monkey Wine,’ it was something Golden Monkey had found by chance when he tamed a group of monkeys.

Legend had it that the Monkeys stored all kinds of fruits in a hole, initially intending to store them for the winter. However, when there was no shortage of food in the winter, the Monkeys forgot that they ever stored fruit in the hole, and then, the fruits gradually fermented over time, turning into Monkey Wine.

Such a naturally brewed wine was a stroke of luck. Moreover, due to the resurgence of Spiritual Energy and the abundance of Spirit Flowers and Fruits, the Monkey Wine was particularly precious. The Spiritual Energy in it was no less than a huge opportunity for ordinary Mutant Beasts.

However, this kind of fine wine was not suitable for Tier-0 Mutant Beasts. Even Golden Monkey took a sip of it only once in a while.

In fact, even the Panda needed to be cautious because of the abundance of Spirit Fruits in the Monkey Wine.

With so many Spirit Fruits in the wine, it was a great test on the drinker’s body. Yet, it was perfect for entertaining the Panda.

Furthermore, based on Yu Zi Yu’s speculation, the Panda had been devouring Fire-Attribute Spirit Stones for a long time, which had made his Spiritual Energy excessively violent and unstable. So, cleansing it with strong alcohol like Monkey Wine might be beneficial for his condition.

Much to the Panda’s eager anticipation, Golden Monkey returned with a sealed stone jar in no time.

“Is this the Monkey Wine?” the Panda asked in surprise as he sniffed the air.

After careful consideration, the Panda’s eyes widened in astonishment.

[This rich fragrance…] Taken aback, the Panda ran and took the stone jar from Golden Monkey’s hands before opening it without a moment of hesitation.

However, this was a grave mistake. The moment the jar was opened, it caused a great uproar among the Mutant Beasts in the entire canyon as a rich aroma of wine spread.

The less powerful Mutant Beasts, such as the Storm Wolves, had their faces turned red with intoxication.

“Step back,” a voice echoed in their ears.

Hearing the voice of the Divine Tree, the Storm Wolves quickly retreated towards the exit of the canyon. However, if one observed their steps carefully, they seemed a bit unsteady.

Clearly, the Monkey Wine’s aroma alone had intoxicated a large group of Mutant Beasts.

Meanwhile…

“Great wine, great wine…” Peals of laughter rang through the canyon. In the heart of North Canyon, a Panda was swaying back and forth, hugging the stone jar. Eventually, it slumped down on the ground.

As Yu Zi Yu observed the flushed face of the Panda, he could not help but wonder just how much he had drunk.

At that moment, as if he had sensed Yu Zi Yu’s gaze, the Panda suddenly raised his head and stated, “Lord Divine Tree, I like it, I really like it, I feel like I’ve fallen in love with this taste.”

Saying so, the Panda once again lifted the stone jar.

As the crystal-clear liquid poured into his mouth, the aroma of the wine filled the canyon.

*Gulp* In the distance, watching the Panda drinking the Monkey Wine heartily, White Tiger could not help but swallow saliva, a look of amazement on his face.

While others might not know, he was well aware of the effects of the wine.

When Golden Monkey first harvested the Monkey Wine, he had taken just a sip, a small sip. But just after taking that sup, he felt dizzy and could not even walk steadily.
