All Furries Love Me!! - Chapter 16
Chapter 16 – Red Kestrel is Confused
Ji Xingchun sorted out the live broadcast footage and consoled himself: ‘I just accidentally did something embarrassing during the live broadcast, it’s okay…’
‘Life is short and will pass quickly…’
The little white elephant present had no idea that it had unknowingly dealt a heavy blow to the human. It finished the apple in no time, with an aftertaste expression on its face.
Although she ate the apple, Pearl is a young elephant demon with integrity. Will she be bribed so easily by humans?
Of course not!
So the little white elephant blinks its eyes, put on a friendly look towards Ji Xingchun, raised its trunk and moved towards the human, as if it wanted to get close to him.
Ji Xingchun looked at the little elephant with curved eyes and slightly open mouth, which looked like it was smiling at him, and he immediately felt touched by its cuteness.
However, this emotion did not last for a few seconds. When the baby elephant approached, he heard a voice:
【This human seems to have been bewitched by me!】
【When we get closer, I’ll take the opportunity to hook that strange strap on his body hehe…】
Ji Xingchun suddenly became alert:!
He never expected that the baby elephant, who looked so innocent and cute, with a pure pearly white appearance, could be so cunning at heart!
As for the strap that it mentioned, it naturally refers to the strap used to fix Ji Xingchun’s live broadcast camera.
Pearl moved closer and was about to take action, but she saw the defenseless human suddenly shudder and reach out to hold down her quietly raised trunk.
The elephant’s trunk feels a bit rough to the touch. One could feel many wrinkles on it, and it had a little bit of body temperature.
Ji Xingchun used very little force. After all, the elephant’s trunk is made up of countless muscles, blood vessels and nerves, and it can be said to be the most sensitive and important organ in the elephant’s body.
If an elephant loses its trunk, it is almost equivalent to a human losing both arms. This shows how great the impact is.
The little white elephant was frightened when its trunk was caught by humans, and all kinds of consequences appeared in Pearl’s mind at once.
【Oh no! I was caught! This human must be angry and wants to punish me!】
【I heard that humans have a catchphrase called “Is it edible? Is it delicious? How do I eat it?” Will he eat my nose?!】
These thoughts poured out like a string of cannonballs, and Ji Xingchun didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.
He originally wanted to scold the little elephant who was always trying to make trouble, but when he heard the pitiful voice of the cub, he immediately lost his temper.
Thinking of this, Ji Xingchun put down the elephant’s trunk, then moved closer, stretched out his hand and pressed it on the elephant’s forehead, then gently stroked it, and said in an indulgent and helpless tone: “Don’t be too naughty, wait until I finish the things at hand, then you can play whatever you want, okay?”
Pearl: …Huh?
The baby elephant came back to its senses from its fright. It looked up and found that the young human in front of it did not show any anger on his face.
And the tone of his voice… Pearl couldn’t describe it, she just felt it seemed kind of pleasant, as gentle as the first warm breeze of early spring.
Hearing his tone, Pearl suddenly felt… a little embarrassed about continuing to make trouble.
The humans who went to work in the zoo in the past were either lazy and slacking off, thinking no one would notice them, or they had little patience for the rude behavior of the small animals here. Some even showed disgusted expressions when they approached.
Because they thought the smell of animals was bad.
But this human is different.
Ji Xingchun maintained his posture, watching the baby elephant hesitantly raise its trunk and wrap it around his hand that was placed on its head.
While the little white elephant was doing this, she raised her eyes to observe Ji Xingchun’s expression, as if to confirm whether he would suddenly turn hostile.
Finally, the little elephant felt relieved. This time, it did not insist on making trouble for Ji Xingchun, but obediently held Ji Xingchun’s hand with its trunk.
With one of his hands entangled by the baby elephant, Ji Xingchun had to use one hand to do his work, but he was not annoyed. Although his efficiency was a little slow, he never took the initiative to break free.
The little white elephant just followed the young man, just like a child being pulled by Ji Xingchun.
Seeing this scene, the audience watching the live broadcast felt as if their hearts were about to melt:
【So cute..】
【Is this the male mother? This is the male mother!! (Unconscious)】
【The breeder has a really good temper. If it were me, I would probably lose my temper…】
【Isn’t the little brother’s voice too gentle when he talks to the baby elephant? I want to hear the little brother coax me like this…】
【↑Wake up, this is the treatment only small animals get】
Neither the audience watching the live broadcast, nor Ji Xingchun, nor even the elephant demon cub knew that they were not the only ones seeing this scene.
About a thousand meters above Ji Xingchun’s head, there was a slender existence hovering in the air. If one didn’t pay attention, one would just think it was a small black dot.
Although the zoo’s director and other demons had set up a sensing barrier in the zoo, the demons are not good at such magic, so they could only detect whether there are outsiders or demons breaking into the zoo.
A presence like this lurking in the sky cannot be detected.
The red kestrel happens to be a bird of prey that is extremely good at flying and hovering at high altitudes. Relying on its advantage of being at high altitude, the red kestrel used its excellent eyesight to take in every move of Ji Xingchun below.
Monitoring what happened in the zoo is the task assigned to it by its owner, Lu Fangbin. As a demon pet, it only needed to follow orders and watch from the side.
However, when the kestrel saw the baby elephant’s repeated provocations against humans, he still felt his heart pounding.
As an adult demon, it wanted to protect its young instinctively, so it wanted to rush down and warn the baby elephant:
‘Don’t do that again! If you piss off that human, you will definitely get hurt!!’
It felt unnatural, and then it saw Ji Xingchun grabbing the trunk of the little elephant that was causing trouble!
The kestrel couldn’t bear to watch any longer. It remembered its owner’s reaction when he was in a bad mood or when it failed to complete the task.
The phantom pain of having its feathers plucked out resurfaced on its back. Recalling the bloody punishment, the bird of prey with bright brick-red feathers began to tremble uncontrollably.
However, the expected horrific scene… did not appear?
The red kestrel looked at the human below in confusion. He didn’t get angry with the elephant demon cub, but coaxed it in a gentle voice. Then, he pulled the baby elephant to do things even though he knew it was inconvenient to use one hand.
Such an action is just like pampering the cub as if it were his own child.
The Red kestrel couldn’t figure it out.
They both did something wrong, so why wasn’t the cub punished…?
It recalled a lifetime as long as one can remember.
From the moment it broke out of its shell, the first thing the kestrel demon saw was its master, Lu Fangbin. It was then signed into a servitude contract and raised by Lu Fangbin.
To it, although Lu Fangbin is a human being and its master, he is like a parent to it.
He had to obey the master’s orders and complete the tasks assigned by the master. If he did something wrong, he would be starved and his feathers would be plucked… Such “rules” were deeply imprinted in the mind of the kestrel.
So it couldn’t understand Ji Xingchun’s actions.
Suddenly, a flash of inspiration came to his mind. The thing on the human’s neck…
By the way, the master had said before that the human was doing some kind of live broadcast or something, and he even scolded him for pretending in front of the camera…
Having lived among humans for so many years, the kestrel demon naturally understood a lot of human things, including what live streaming means.
So the actions of this human male named Ji Xingchun just now were actually a disguise?
The more he thought about it, the more he felt that this guess was very reasonable, and the strange bitter feeling that had just arisen in his heart was immediately soothed.
But then the anxiety surged up again: once the live broadcast ended, what would be waiting for the cub…
Over there, Ji Xingchun completed the work in the mixed park with one hand. After finishing it, he deeply felt that life was not easy for those who lost one hand, and secretly decided to cherish the days when he could work with two hands in the future.
But he actually didn’t hate it, because the mind-reading ability only had a range of one meter, and Ji Xingchun didn’t use it very often.
And just now he was listening to the baby elephant’s mumbling in his mind. Not only was the baby elephant very curious, but its mind was full of wonderful ideas. It was as if he was listening to a stand-up comedy show.
After finishing work, Ji Xingchun ended the live broadcast as usual, and then he started playing with the baby elephant as agreed.
Ji Xingchun felt a strange feeling at the back of his head, as if he was being spied on. He turned his head sharply and looked around, but saw nothing.
‘Am I overthinking it?’
Before he could think about it, he was distracted by the pull of the corner of his clothes. Ji Xingchun subconsciously said, “Don’t worry, I’ll play with you right now.”
Before coming here today, Ji Xingchun also brought some toys for small animals to play with. The small rubber ball in his hand was originally intended for the little snow leopard to play with, but now he took it out temporarily for use.
‘I’m sorry, snow leopard cub.’
While Ji Xingchun silently apologized to
Xuebao Er Hao in his heart, he waved the ball in front of the little elephant to see if the other party was interested in the toy.
Sure enough, the little white elephant’s attention was immediately attracted by this brightly colored spherical object.
Ji Xingchun threw the ball to the ground. The ball rolled forward and was then stepped on by the baby elephant.
He waited for the baby elephant’s reaction, and then he was seen rolling up the ball with his trunk and throwing it at his head!
Ji Xingchun dodged quickly and looked towards the little elephant, only to see a mischievous and smug look in the other’s eyes.
Well, it turned out that this little elephant is quite naughty.
The young man was not angry. After all, the fact that the little elephant played a prank on him showed that the little elephant was not afraid of him and even had a sense of closeness to him.
The ball throwing and catching activity turned into dodgeball. Ji Xingchun started to breathe heavily after playing with the little white elephant for a while. After all, he had worked for a long time before, and this was a sport that consumed a lot of physical energy.
“Let me rest for a while…” After taking a breath, Ji Xingchun begged for mercy from the baby elephant and then sat down under a tree.
The baby elephant held the rubber ball with its trunk. Seeing that the human looked tired, it threw the ball away and squeezed next to Ji Xingchun.
【I want to sit too! 】
Ji Xingchun was amused and helpless when he was squeezed. He tried to make room for the little elephant, but the elephant seemed to think that the seat where humans sat was the most comfortable, and would stick to him no matter where Ji Xingchun moved.
Finally, Ji Xingchun was left with no other options, so he simply let the baby elephant lie down sideways, and then he sat in the gap between the baby elephant’s legs and belly.
Ji Xingchun: ‘Finally I am a little more content.’
As he was thinking this, he suddenly heard the faint sound of flapping wings.
Ji Xingchun looked up and saw a kestrel perched on a tree about ten meters away from him!
