All Furries Love Me!! - Chapter 20

Chapter 20 – Xiao Ji Was Kidnapped

When hearing Bai Wei’s words, tears seemed to well up in Hong Xun’s dark eyes.

‘So, this bird demon in front of me already knows everything?’

When the other party said this to him, did it mean that he wanted to tell it that all the previous worries were wrong?

Its people wouldn’t want it, right?

‘It turns out that there is still a place for me to settle down in this world…’

At that moment, the shackles that were deeply rooted in Red Falcon’s heart loosened a little.

Although there is still some distance to go before overthrowing the constraints that were put in place since childhood, Hong Xun feels much more relaxed.

At the same time, in Lu Fangbin’s room in the Lu family mansion:

Lu Fangbin, who had fallen asleep in bed early, suddenly opened his eyes. He suddenly reached out and grabbed the cloth in front of his chest, then opened his mouth and let out a scream of pain!

“What, what happened?!” Lu Fangbin lost his balance and fell off the bed. Big drops of cold sweat oozed from his forehead. The pain in his chest came and went quickly, but it still made him feel scared.

Soon, Lu Fangbin figured out where this anomaly came from:

For some unknown reason, less than a day had passed and the restraints on the red falcon had begun to shake again!

What on earth is going on!

Lu Fangbin tried to repeat the same trick and force the Red Falcon back to his side like he did last time, but the summons he sent out received no response for a long time.

Was it intercepted by someone? Or was it that the red falcon pretended not to know and disobeyed his call?

Lu Fangbin was wandering around the room like a headless fly. Although he had an extremely bad attitude towards the Red Falcon, he actually didn’t dare to throw it away like garbage.

Because… strictly speaking, this falcon is not completely his property.

Falcons can hide in the sky and have extremely strong eyesight. They are good at gathering intelligence and can even display powerful attack power when necessary.

However, this species of monster is extremely difficult to capture. Even if they can be caught alive, an adult red falcon would rather die than be tamed by them.

Therefore, if you want to get a red falcon as a demon pet, the only feasible way is to raise it from the time it has not hatched.

The red falcon egg that Lu Fangbin had was stolen by the Lu family after spending a lot of manpower and material resources.

Lu Fangbin was the most talented person of this generation in the Lu family, so the red falcon egg was handed to him. He was responsible for hatching and feeding it, and eventually keeping it as his own demon pet.

But once the Lu family needed it, Lu Fangbin would have to contribute the Red Falcon for the family to use.

And if he lost such a precious and useful demon race…

The spiritual turbulence in his body had not yet subsided. Lu Fangbin gritted his teeth and forced out a bit of his own blood to investigate what had happened to the Falcon recently.

He wanted to see who had been shaking the will of his demon pet again and again!

After a while, Lu Fangbin suddenly opened his eyes, and there was a flash of immense hatred in his eyes!

“Ji, Xing, Chun…!!”

‘It’s this guy again!!’

First, he caused him to fail in getting the job at the zoo, and now he wanted to steal his demon pet. He is obviously just an ignorant and incompetent ordinary person!

How dare he!?

Lu Fangbin’s hatred for Ji Xingchun finally reached its peak at this moment.

A cluster of faint blue flames ignited at his fingertips, and the three talisman papers burned silently into ashes.

Lu Fangbin said in a gloomy tone:

“Go, bring Ji Xingchun to me.”

Three illusory shadows jumped out of the window.

When Ji Xingchun finished taking care of the falcon, it was already late outside.

Bai Wei gave him a “thank you for your hard work” expression, and then stopped Ji Xingchun before he was about to leave, saying that he had something to talk to him about alone.

Ji Xingchun’s originally relaxed mood suddenly became uneasy. Although he recalled that he had not made any mistakes since he joined the company, he would still feel nervous if he was found by his leader!

Bai Wei took him to the office and sighed, “Xiao Ji, I’m sorry!”

Ji Xingchun’s eyes went dark, and a trembling thought flashed through his mind: ‘Could it be that because the zoo was not doing well, the director was finally going to declare it bankrupt!?’

Bai Wei had a worried look on his face, and his clear and gentle voice was filled with apology: “Aren’t you doing a live broadcast now, and you’re doing pretty well?”

“You must have put a lot of effort into doing this well. It must not be easy!”

Ji Xingchun was relieved to hear that the zoo was not going to close down. But when he heard the director’s words, his face suddenly turned red and he stammered, “It’s not that difficult…”

He just started a live broadcast, and did the rest as he usually does.

Bai Wei took this as a young human being being modest. He waved his hands and said with great sorrow, “There is an investor in the zoo. His son graduated recently, so he wants that kid to come to the zoo for an internship and wants him to replace your job!”

Ji Xingchun took a breath of cold air – he wasn’t going to be fired, was he?

Then the headmaster said, “He said his son understands the current Internet culture and trends better and is more suitable for live streaming than you!”

Ji Xingchun: ?

‘Wait, so the replacement job refers to the live broadcast job?’

Thinking of his experience of doing live broadcasts every day under the pressure of social anxiety, Ji Xingchun’s eyes lit up and he was about to speak: “Director, I feel like this…”

Before he could finish, Bai Wei said firmly: “That’s right! This definitely won’t work!!”

Ji Xingchun: …He wanted to say that he thought this was not a bad idea.

Bai Wei: “Xiao Ji, don’t worry. You work so hard and seriously. How could I let a random person take away the fruits of your labor?!”

Ji Xingchun: …

“Because of his special status, I am embarrassed to reject him directly, so now I want to let him come to the zoo for an internship first, and then he can go on the live broadcast with you.”

“Of course, he can’t compare to you, Xiao Ji, I believe you are the most qualified candidate for the anchor position!!”

Bai Wei looked at Ji Xingchun, his eyes full of trust. The young man’s eyes twitched slightly, and he said with difficulty:

“Thank you, Director.”

When the young man walked out of the office with a lost expression, Bai Wei breathed a sigh of relief and slumped in his office chair.

What he just said to Ji Xingchun was three-quarters true and seven-quarters false, and in reality it was far from as relaxed as he had made it out to be.

It is true that there are new employees, but at the beginning, the other party’s intention was not to replace Ji Xingchun in the live broadcast, but to completely drive Ji Xingchun out and let the zoo return to a state where only the demons are there.

Bai Wei naturally would not agree to such a request. Not to mention that Xiao Ji worked diligently and hard, there was no reason to fire him. If Xiao Ji was really kicked out, some of the furry creatures in the zoo would probably make a scene!

So it is impossible to dismiss him.

Those who would make such a request are naturally the conservatives among the demon race. Just like humans had different countries and nationalities, as well as different ideologies, there are naturally differences within the demon race.

Demons like Bai Wei and Hei Jin, who were born in the new era, are not completely hostile to humans. After all, they have witnessed human technology and civilization and see more possibilities.

In Bai Wei’s opinion, there is no need for humans and demons to be completely opposed to each other. Not to mention that the Xuanmen, which poses the greatest threat to the demons, has already declined, but many of their demons have now become national first or second level protected animals!

‘I wonder which sect dares to attack protected animals now? They’ll be given a pair of silver handcuffs in a minute!’

After that, the connection between humans and spiritual energy was discovered, so demons like Bai Wei took the initiative to step forward. After discussing with special departments of humans, the zoo was born.

However, there are still more demons who are suspicious of humans, so they are unwilling to send their cubs to the zoo.

There is nothing wrong with this approach, after all, no one could be sure whether the zoo plan is feasible, but it has become a thorn in the eyes of conservatives.

In their opinion, it was dangerous enough to leave so many demon cubs in a place where humans gathered, and let a human take care of them? What if the cubs got hurt?!

In this regard, Bai Wei only wants to say: For a weakling like Xiao Ji, we should worry that he will be seriously injured by the cubs.

However, this time at least he managed to persuade the other side to take a compromise approach, but I believe that the new demon will definitely make things difficult for Ji Xingchun.

But… Bai Wei actually has an inexplicable confidence in Ji Xingchun.

He had a hunch that Xiao Ji would be able to handle it.

•=|=•

When leaving the zoo, Ji Xingchun saw that it was already late outside.

Calculating the time, the last bus he was taking would arrive in ten minutes, so Ji Xingchun hurriedly quickened his pace.

If he couldn’t make it, he would have to take a taxi back, but a taxi from the suburbs would cost at least thirty yuan, which was painful to think about.

Walking on the deserted road, Ji Xingchun felt a little creepy for some reason. Was it because it was so late today?

Suddenly, there was a sound of branches being stepped on behind him. The young man pursed his lips and quickened his pace. He did not look back: maybe it was just a fellow traveler.

A low roar came from behind his head, and a strong smell of blood came from his nose. Ji Xingchun paused for a moment, and then he…

Just run forward!

At this time, only a fool would stop and look back to confirm, okay!

However, he had not run more than a few dozen meters when he suddenly felt cold all over, and then his consciousness seemed to float out of his body, followed by darkness.

What woke Ji Xingchun up next was a glass of ice water thrown in his face.

On such a cold day, the feeling of ice water dripping into his collar made Ji Xingchun wake up shivering. When he opened his eyes, a trace of confusion flashed across the young man’s eyes, and then he quickly woke up.

“… Lu Fangbin?”

Looking at the man sitting in front of him, Ji Xingchun said uncertainty.

It’s not that he didn’t recognize what Lu Fangbin looked like, it’s just that… the scene in front of him seemed a little mysterious to him.

There were two animal-shaped shadows beside Lu Fangbin, one was a tiger and the other was a leopard, but both were translucent and emitted a faint blue light.

If it weren’t for the burning scratches on his palms, Ji Xingchun would almost think he was dreaming.

Lu Fangbin obviously saw his astonishment and said contemptuously:

“You don’t think these are projections, they are all mystical arts.”

As he finished speaking, the tiger-shaped shadow approached Ji Xingchun, and it pressed its claws on the young man’s neck. The sharp claws instantly left a bloody mark on his skin.

Ji Xingchun didn’t say anything, but he could feel his teeth clenched and his heartbeat faster and faster.

Lu Fangbin looked at him and suddenly sneered. He got down from the chair, squatted in front of Ji Xingchun, and said with pity:

“But I’m actually quite soft-hearted. How about you just beg me nicely, kneel down and lick my shoes, and then I’ll let you go?”

At such a close distance, Lu Fangbin’s inner voice came over.

【After he finishes begging, I will break his limbs and dig out his eyes… No, no, it seems that this is still not enough! 】

【We should just tear this bitch’s tongue off, and then create some wild animal marks on his body, and then we can put the blame on the zoo! 】

【Yes! Just do it! I am such a genius hahahahaha!! 】
