All Furries Love Me!! - Chapter 17
Chapter 17 – Aren’t You Ashamed?
The Kestrel is not a very rare animal, so Ji Xingchun was not surprised to see it in this area. It’s just that wild animals generally rarely approach humans, and some even hide themselves when they sense human sight.
The young man had very good eyesight. Although the distance between them was about ten meters, he could still see the other party clearly because there was no obstruction around the red Kestrel.
Just a quick observation made him frown.
This Kestrel is obviously an adult male, but judging by its powerful wings it should still be very young.
However, the feathers, which should have been a bright brick red, were not only dull in color, but also a little messy, as if they had not been well combed.
Most birds take good care of their feathers and spend a lot of time each day grooming and maintaining themselves. When a bird’s feathers are in poor condition, it basically means that its condition is not very good.
When Ji Xingchun looked over, the Kestrel turned its head at the same time, and its pair of dark eyes, unique to birds, met his gaze.
They stared at each other for a few seconds, and then the Kestrel suddenly flapped its wings and flew into the sky.
Ji Xingchun opened his mouth, but no sound came out in the end.
Although there were some things about the red Kestrel that concerned him, it was a wild animal after all, not one raised in a zoo.
The green environment inside the zoo is very well designed, so it has attracted many small animals here. Ji Xingchun had seen some small birds on his way to work, and even accidentally discovered a hibernating squirrel.
Perhaps the red Kestrel was attracted here by the abundant resources.
As for the one that landed in front of him just now… maybe it felt tired and took a rest there?
Ji Xingchun thought so, but he was still a little cautious. He suspected that the Kestrel was illegally raised and then escaped.
After resting for a while, Ji Xingchun stood up and stretched. The little elephant, who was lying down, stood up immediately when he saw that the human had recovered his spirit.
Ji Xingchun touched the baby elephant’s head. He was not being perfunctory when he said he would take a rest for a while before playing with the baby again.
Picking up the rubber ball on the ground, Ji Xingchun made a gesture of throwing the ball to signal the little elephant, and then gently threw the ball out.
The little white elephant’s eyes were flickering with eagerness. Seeing the ball flying over, he planned to catch it with his trunk. However, before he could make a move, a quick light-colored shadow suddenly flashed in front of the man and the demon!
Ji Xingchun’s eyes widened, his heart beating wildly. The shadow was incredibly large, and it was moving so fast that for a moment he thought he was attacked by some large beast!
He subconsciously wanted to protect the baby elephant present, but before Ji Xingchun could take a step, the “lump” of thing stopped.
“…” The young man was silent for a moment, and suddenly he didn’t know what expression he should show on his face.
If he was not mistaken, what happened just now was… a big yellow dog suddenly appeared from nowhere and caught the ball he had just thrown.
This yellow dog didn’t look like a well-known breed of dog. It looked more like a common pastoral dog in rural China. However, its size is surprisingly large for some reason, and its fur is more like a light gold color than yellow.
Ji Xingchun was a little wary. After all, if the opponent of his size suddenly attacked him, he would most likely be seriously injured!
However, the big yellow dog was biting the small rubber ball, its eyes looking at him eagerly, its triangular ears standing on its head, and its tail wagging happily behind it…
…Well, no matter how he looked at it, he seemed to want him to play with it.
The little white elephant standing opposite Ji Xingchun at this time: …
‘Ahhhhh! How could a demon snatch toys from a cub? Huang Jing, as an adult demon, aren’t you ashamed?’
Ji Xingchun hesitated for a moment, and then he saw the little white elephant raise its trunk angrily and grab the big yellow dog’s tail!
“Awooo!” the big yellow dog howled, and Ji Xingchun’s pupils shrank: “Let go!”
What if the baby elephant’s action annoyed the yellow dog and caused it to bite the elephant?
However, the following scene told Ji Xingchun that he was worrying too much. The little white elephant raised its trunk to whip the big yellow dog, and the dog’s huge body seemed to be in vain. It hung its head and tucked its tail between its legs and stayed where it was, allowing the little elephant to “beat” it.
And from time to time, it whimpered pitifully, as if begging for mercy.
Ji Xingchun didn’t understand the language of the animals, but his feeling was right. Huang Jing was really begging for mercy:
“I’m sorry! Pearl, don’t be angry. I didn’t mean it…”
“You suddenly ran away, and the director and the others were very worried, so they asked me to go look for you. I just couldn’t help but catch the ball…”
The little elephant vented for a while and then stopped. When she heard that Huang Jing was looking for her, she felt a little guilty: “I…I just came to see what this human is like…”
Huang Jing’s drooping ears stood up straight, and he said nervously: “Xiao Ji is a good person! You can’t chase him away again!”
The little white elephant slapped his ears: “…I know! It won’t happen!”
Huang Jing blinked his eyes. Looking at the reaction of the little elephant, he was afraid that she had been conquered by Xiao Ji.
But he was smart enough not to say this, otherwise the other party might get angry and embarrassed.
At this time, Ji Xingchun, who had been watching from the side for a while, came over. Seeing how close the big yellow dog and the baby elephant were, and how it suddenly appeared here, he guessed that the might have been raised by an employee of the zoo?
For some reason, the image of a colleague surnamed Huang suddenly appeared in Ji Xingchun’s mind.
Well, it might be because the temperament of this big yellow dog always makes him feel that it is a bit like Huang Jing. There is a saying that goes “animals resemble their owners”!
Thinking of this, Ji Xingchun sent a message in the work group:
【Anxin Zoo Staff Group】
Ji Xingchun: 【Picture】
Ji Xingchun: 【Is this dog of the zoo? It suddenly ran into the mixed park.】
Hei Jin: 【… That’s Huang Jing’s. Wait there. I’ll come get it.】
Less than ten minutes after Hei Jin replied, he appeared at the entrance of the park. He glanced at the dog lightly, and then saw the little white elephant scratching the dirt on the ground with its feet guiltily.
Next to the little white elephant, Huang Jing, transformed into a dog demon, was squatting on the ground, and wagging his tail when he saw him.
Hei Jin: …He must have had his head caught in the door to want to work here.
Ji Xingchun saw Hei Jin walking towards him with an expressionless face but without a leash in his hand, and wondered how he was going to take the big yellow dog away.
Just as he was thinking this, something suddenly hit him in the arms. He lowered his head and saw the big dog coming towards him, with its tail wagging behind it like the wing of a helicopter.
【Touch me! 】
【I am such a cute dog, don’t you want to touch my head? 】
Hearing such voices, the young man couldn’t help but laugh – after all, he is a passionate and lively dog.
He bent down and put his hand on the big dog’s head. Unlike the last time when he patted Huang Jing’s head, Ji Xingchun’s movements were much more comfortable when facing animals.
There was no way, touching a human youth’s head really made him feel… very subtle.
With his palms facing down, Ji Xingchun rubbed the dog from its head to its body before stopping and repeating this action.
As he stroked the dog, he felt that the yellow dog’s fur was really good. Not only was the color beautiful but it was also very soft. Huang Jing must have treated it very well.
Hei Jin on the other side looked at Huang Jing who was humming in comfort because of being rubbed, his eyes flickered slightly, and when the human had almost touched him, he coughed lightly.
Hearing Hei Jin’s urging voice, Huang Jing reluctantly pulled himself out of the human’s arms.
【He is so nice, he speaks softly and touches my head…】
【From today on, I declare that Xiaoji is my favorite human!】
Ji Xingchun: …Huh?
Did he hear it wrong just now?
Why does a dog know his name and call him “Xiao Ji”?
The young man’s thoughts were interrupted by the sudden rough touch on his hand. He turned around and saw the little white elephant hesitantly putting the rubber ball into his palm.
He didn’t need to read other people’s minds to know what the other person wanted him to do.
Ji Xingchun no longer thought about that matter, after all, it was “little elephant time” now.
Just now… maybe he just heard it wrong.
•=|=•
Hong Xun couldn’t explain his current actions.
After that day, it followed the human for several days.
Of course, it didn’t count as dereliction of duty assigned by the owner. After all, Ji Xingchun often went out in the zoo, so this is… killing two birds with one stone!
At first, the red Kestrel told himself that it was monitoring Ji Xingchun because it was worried that the elephant demon cub would be punished.
However, even so, it was very clear that even after the human turned off the device used for the live broadcast, his attitude towards the baby elephant did not change.
Even after the baby elephant continued to act naughty, his voice remained gentle.
It is impossible for the other party to realize that he is being monitored. After all, although the human had a certain affinity for spiritual energy, he was essentially just an ordinary person who is slightly more sensitive.
So… everything that human did was based on his own thoughts, without any falsehood or disguise.
The more he watched, the more Hong Xun felt a strange and inextinguishable emotion growing in his chest.
For a moment, a thought suddenly flashed through its mind: why couldn’t this human be his master?
The moment this thought came to mind, a spell engraved on the Kestrel’s beak flashed.
The Red Kestrel was about to continue its surveillance when it suddenly sensed that its master, Lu Fangbin, was calling it back anxiously.
Could it be that the other party no longer intended to let him monitor the zoo?
Thinking of this possibility, the red Kestrel felt relieved yet lost for some reason. It spread its wings and flew towards the Lu family’s old house.
Flying into Lu Fangbin’s room through the wide-open window, the red Kestrel lowered its head respectfully and called out, “Master.”
Then it felt a strong gaze coming at it, and its body began to tremble reflexively. Hong Xun knew that Lu Fangbin’s behavior often meant that he was in a bad mood…
Lu Fangbin did not ask his pet demon what information he had gathered in the zoo in the past few days. He just looked at the Kestrel demon with a complicated expression, and asked casually: “What do you think of my treatment of you?”
The red Kestrel paused and replied, “My master treats me very well.”
Just as it finished speaking, it suddenly felt its feet being grabbed by a human, and then the whole bird was lifted up upside down.
Lu Fangbin suddenly became furious. He yelled at the Kestrel demon: “How many times have I told you not to be afraid of me?!!”
However, the Kestrel in his hand was already struggling with its wings flapping out of fear and letting out shrill screams, which was an instinctive behavior of an animal when facing a threat.
Lu Fangbin had a gloomy face. He did not let go of Hong Xun, but suddenly started swinging his arms.
With his hand as the center of the circle, the red Kestrel was driven by his movements to spin rapidly, like a stalled Ferris wheel.
When Lu Fangbin let go of his hand, the skinny Kestrel demon had already become dizzy and could not even stand steadily, so it collapsed to the ground.
Lu Fangbin saw the Kestrel demon, picked it up and held it in his palm, and then his tone became gentle:
“I raised you. Without me, you would have been a dead bird.”
“Even your own kind will not accept a Kestrel demon raised by humans.”
“I’m the only one in this world who cares about you, so… don’t think about those messy things all day, okay?”
The kestrel nodded tremblingly, indicating that he understood.
Lu Fangbin nodded with satisfaction, and then strengthened the spell mark on the demon pet.
“Okay, go back and continue monitoring the zoo,” he said.
After he said this, Red Kestrel immediately rushed out of the room.
However, the severe feeling of dizziness did not subside, and the Red Kestrel’s flying trajectory in the air was crooked, as if it was drunk.
It was so frightened that it did not calculate its physical energy consumption while flying as it usually did.
When it reached the sky above the zoo, dizziness and exhaustion caused it to fall suddenly downwards! !
•=|=•
Not long after Ji Xingchun came out from the little snow leopard’s park, he suddenly saw a black shadow falling in the sky.
However, although the shadow was falling, it would pause from time to time to slow down its falling speed.
Suddenly feeling a strange and uncomfortable feeling in his heart, Ji Xingchun ran towards the direction of the shadow. He squinted his eyes, and when he got close to a distance, he suddenly found…
That’s a Kestrel falling down!!
