All Furries Love Me!! - Chapter 38 PT1

Chapter 38 PT1 – The End of a Scumbag (I)

Xu Cheng had a simple purpose, that is, to increase his presence in the show.

When he interacts with the little animals, if they cooperated, he could naturally get more shots. Even if they didn’t cooperate, he could just reinforce the character he played before.

Thinking of this, Xu Cheng quietly waited for his opportunity.

He didn’t have to wait long.

In order to take care of the fans of the invited guests, the program team would create topics and performance opportunities for the guests every once in a while. Aside from Ling Ziyang who had completely given up, it was soon Xu Cheng’s turn.

The host, Qi Wenhan, held the question-drawing prop in his hand and blinked at the camera: “Oh, now it’s time to answer the questions again. I wonder who will answer the question successfully this time?”

As he spoke, he turned the dial, and after a moment everyone saw that the pointer finally stopped in a green area.

Xu Cheng’s mind moved, and he knew that this was his question. Although it was a quick-answer session, the program crew had given them the answers to some of the questions in advance before the show started.

Qi Wenhan saw the result of the turntable, he took out a green card in his hand, then cleared his throat and said:

“Please listen to the question: I believe everyone has heard the poem ‘The Peacock Flies Southeast, and lingers every five miles’. So what kind of peacock is in this poem?”

As soon as the question was asked, while Ling Ziyang next to him was still muttering “What other species of peacocks are there”, Xu Cheng immediately pressed the answer bell!

Xu Cheng, who had grabbed the chance to answer the question, stood up confidently and said:

“The peacock in ‘The Peacock Flies Southeast’ refers to the green peacock.”

Bai Zichen, who had been looking forward to this question with his head held high, was stunned:

「It’s not a white peacock??」

The Host nodded and added: “Yes, the green peacock is our country’s native peacock. The blue peacock that is common now, and the white peacock, a variation of the blue peacock, are actually species introduced from foreign countries.”

“However, due to habitat destruction and mixed breeding with blue peacocks, the number of pure green peacocks in the wild is now extremely endangered. Last year, there were only about 500 wild green peacocks in our country.”

These words immediately caused a lot of discussion in the barrage:

【I have seen a blue-green peacock hybrid in the zoo near my home. It looks different from the ordinary blue peacock】

【I searched online and found that purebred green peacocks are so beautiful, with a completely different temperament from blue peacocks!】

【Five hundred, are there actually just so few?… Sigh】

After hearing the host’s explanation, the monsters present all turned their attention to Bai Zichen.

Bai Zichen’s neck stiffened, and the feathers on his head almost exploded:

「You…what are you looking at me for?!」

Huang Jing stuck out his tongue in shock and said bluntly:

「I never thought that Bai Zichen was actually a foreign demon? I really can’t tell at all!」

The White Peacock Demon obviously didn’t want to hear this, and he immediately ran towards the Dog Demon angrily, as if he was going to peck the dog!

「What is a Foreign Demon? Don’t you know that foreign countries don’t recognize the existence of demons? I am a local demon through and through!!」

「Those bunch of ignorant foreigners only recognize werewolves, vampires and the like!!」

Huang Jing was not at all intimidated and happily circled around Bai Zichen, as if the other party was exercising with him.

After a few rounds, the peacock was exhausted and seemed to be out of breath, while the big yellow dog just breathed a little faster and looked completely contented.

Bai Zichen: ………Damn it!! If only he were a carnivore, he’d want to eat dog meat!!!

Ji Xingchun actually cared about this issue a little. He knew the difference between the blue peacock and the green peacock. He had seen media reports online a few years ago about a hydropower project worth 1 billion Chinese yuan being halted in order to protect the green peacock’s habitat.

He had previously seen that the original forms of the monsters in the zoo were all species native to China, and he had also wondered whether there were monsters in foreign countries.

As Ji Xingchun was thinking this, he heard Bai Wei in his pocket complaining:

「Bai Zichen, this idiot, has the nerve to complain about Xiao Huang’s lack of cultural knowledge. Where does our demon race get its nationality from? Aren’t the so-called original forms all disguised by demonic power and presented to humans??」

「Strictly speaking, Xiao Bai is not a white peacock demon at all, but a bird demon whose prototype looks like a white peacock.」

Ji Xingchun suddenly realized: So that’s it!

Over there, Xu Cheng, who had finally received his chance to answer the question, felt frustrated when he found that everyone’s attention was attracted by the scene of “white peacock chasing dog” and no one paid any attention to him at all.

Gritting his teeth secretly, Xu Cheng set his sights on the big yellow dog at the scene.

This yellow dog looks like a pastoral dog, but its hair is very long, making it look like a cross between a pastoral dog and a golden retriever.

At the scene, the yellow dog was the most enthusiastic and easiest to approach. No matter who greeted it, it would happily come over.

Xu Cheng’s eyes flashed, and he took out the toys and snacks he had prepared in his pocket.

Ji Xingchun, who had been deliberately staying within Xu Cheng’s mind-reading range, glanced at this person calmly, and suddenly felt admiration in his heart.

Xu Cheng was so scared last night, but he recovered so quickly and is still so “career-oriented” now… It’s no wonder that Ling Ziyang can’t compare to him in terms of rank.

However, they were afraid that Xu Cheng would not perform. If he really behaved himself, the subsequent arrangements would be difficult to carry out.

Seeing that the chase and play between the big yellow dog and the peacock was over, Xu Cheng put on a smile and pretended that he had just remembered that he brought these things. Then he used the “bait” in his hand to call Huang Jing over.

The beads on his abacus clattered loudly, and it made no difference to him whether the yellow dog paid attention to him or not.

What Xu Cheng didn’t expect was that the yellow dog, which could wag its tail and beg for mercy to anyone, actually backed away the moment it saw him, and even bared its teeth in a wary and threatening manner!!

Xu Cheng was so frightened that for a moment he almost thought he was going to be bitten by the dog. However, he saw that the dog was only strong on the outside but weak on the inside, so he immediately put his heart at ease.

「The way this dog threatened me just now was captured on the live broadcast. Now it will become a hot topic. I am still a perfect victim!」

「Could it be that I was so unlucky yesterday that today my bad luck has finally turned around?!」

Xu Cheng thought excitedly to himself, but then he realized that the way people around him looked at him was… not right.

A bad premonition arose in Xu Cheng’s mind, and then he heard Ling Ziyang ask loudly with ill intentions: “Xu Cheng, what’s wrong with you? Why are those animals so afraid of you?”

Ling Ziyang knew that his image in this show had been ruined, so he naturally couldn’t bear to see Xu Cheng pretending to be out of trouble. Now that he saw an opportunity to drag someone down, how could he let it go?

A drop of sweat dripped from Xu Cheng’s forehead. He had been so focused on the yellow dog that he didn’t even notice that all the animals present were avoiding him!

It was as if there was a vacuum zone around him, excluding all the animals!!

“What do you mean?” Xu Cheng tried his best to make his tone sound innocent and confused.

Ling Ziyang sneered and didn’t bother to be polite with him. He said casually: “That’s what I mean. Why are these animals so afraid of you? I don’t think they are so afraid of me either.”

As he spoke, Ling Ziyang waved at Huang Jing, and everyone saw the big yellow dog showing a very obvious look of disgust towards him, then turned its back and pointed its butt at him.

Ling Ziyang: ………Although I did it to trick Xu Cheng, I still feel so angry. What’s going on??

The cold sweat that was pouring down Xu Cheng’s back was almost soaking the clothes. The strange feeling from yesterday returned to him again, but he clenched his teeth, knowing that he must not show any fear at this moment.

“I really don’t know. Maybe it has something to do with the fact that small animals don’t like me…”

“This is not to the extent of ‘not being liked by small animals’.” Ling Ziyang sneered, and when Xu Cheng heard what he said, it seemed as if he could no longer hold back, and for a moment he glanced at him with an extremely vicious look.

Ling Ziyang: !!

Ling Ziyang shrank his neck quietly, and suddenly felt a little worried – did he make this guy angry?

The comments were also full of discussion at this time. After all, it was a fact that the animals avoided Xu Cheng. Coupled with the result of Xu Cheng and the sable trying to interact in yesterday’s live broadcast, it was hard for the audience not to think too much!

【Maybe I’m overthinking it. Isn’t Xu Cheng a little too weird?】

【Could this person have a fetish like that? In my hometown, they say animals can sense things that humans can’t, like if you feed a dog stew to a dog, it will immediately walk away.】

【I was wondering why this scene felt so familiar. Whenever the butcher at my vegetable market walked on the road, any animal that came across him would run away as fast as if they had seen a ghost. Could Xu Cheng be…?】

【Wait, don’t make blind guesses. Nothing is certain now. Be careful of being accused of spreading rumors.】

Although these comments did not say it explicitly, anyone could guess what it means from the implication!

Suddenly, Xu Cheng’s fans were upset. After all, these people were tarnishing their brother’s reputation!

【What era is it now? Didn’t Xu Cheng say that he was disliked by animals since childhood?】

【People nowadays have really dirty minds. They can think in that way. I am afraid that I am often like this in private. Now I judge others by myself, right??】

【Do the black fans in the barrage think that the cross-dressing is good? I have already taken a screenshot. If you are spreading rumors here, you will be sent to jail (haha)】

【Since yesterday, I felt that something was wrong with this zoo. Why are these animals normal when they are with other people, but go crazy when they are with Cheng Cheng? Maybe a rival has bribed the zoo to train the animals to do this on purpose to discredit Cheng Cheng!!】

After all, most of the people who watched the reality show were passers-by who were not fans of the show. Originally, they were just discussing the show, but they were accused of many things by Xu Cheng’s fans. Who would like that?

Someone immediately retorted:

【??? Am I a hater now? Where can I get my salary?】

【It’s so funny that you have a body type that animals hate. Look at those animals, do they hate your brother? They are obviously afraid of him. Ling Ziyang is what we call a body type that animals hate. Thank you~】

【Ling Ziyang: Are you being polite now?】

【Someone bought off the zoo to train animals to discredit your brother, you fans should stop being so funny, ok?】

For a while, Xu Cheng’s fans and passers-by were fighting in the comments section, and the director backstage frowned when he saw this situation.

The assistant said, “Oh my god, is this going to be a hot topic again?”

The director glared at the assistant and said, “Do you think this is a good thing? The theme of this episode is animal protection. If Xu Cheng’s hands are really dirty…”

The assistant shrank his neck: “So, what should we do? Suspend the show?”

It was naturally impossible to pause the show, but fortunately it was almost time for today’s show to end, and the director sent a message to the hosts backstage, asking them to speed up and finish earlier.

The second day’s filming was over. Facing Xu Cheng, the people present naturally would not speak as unemotionally stupidly as Ling Ziyang did, but suspicious and observant looks were inevitable.

Xu Cheng tried hard to keep calm, but he felt like he was about to explode.

However, when he left the zoo and got into his assistant’s car, looking at the dim sunlight outside, the horror he experienced yesterday once again flooded into his mind.

“Wait!” Xu Cheng suddenly spoke up and asked his assistant, Xu Jiankai, to stop the car.

“Brother Xu, did you forget something at the zoo?” Xu Jiankai asked as he turned his head. Seeing his action, Xu Cheng’s heartbeat suddenly quickened a few points.

“…Nothing, I suddenly wanted to change hotels because the service in the previous one was too bad.” He said stiffly.

Xu Jiankai raised his eyebrows, seemingly not believing his reason, but after all Xu Cheng was his superior, so he just did as he said.

However, when Xu Jiankai saw Xu Cheng’s anxious face through the rearview mirror, an idea suddenly occurred to him: Could it be that Xu Cheng really… ?

Xu Cheng was tapping his knees in the back seat, but the uneasiness in his heart lingered like a dark cloud for a long time.

He didn’t know if changing hotels would help him escape from yesterday’s nightmare.

And in the sky outside the van, a red kestrel was following the van from a distance.

After arriving at the new hotel, Xu Cheng received a call from his agent before he had time to rest.

The agent is usually very confident in Xu Cheng, but this does not mean that he has completely let him go. The reason he called now is naturally that he has noticed the trend on the Internet.

“Xu Cheng, I want you to tell me honestly, did you do ‘that’ thing?” The usually affable agent’s tone was unusually serious.

Xu Cheng swallowed his saliva and tried to play dumb: “…What do you mean by that kind of thing?”

“Don’t pretend you don’t understand! People on the internet are now wondering if you’ve abused a cat or something!”

The manager’s angry shout made Xu Cheng tremble. He was silent for a while, and finally said obscurely: “I just… just some small parrots and a cat… just one!”

He quickly added, “I swear I hid it well, no one would have noticed! I was just under too much pressure at the time and wanted to vent. I hadn’t done it for a long time before the show!!”

Xu Cheng’s tone seemed to show regret, but in fact he had no regrets at all in his heart, he was just unwilling to accept it!

Why? They were just a few little beasts, why did he have to encounter such a thing? !

There must be more than one person who abuses and kills animals, why did he have to suffer? He obviously didn’t kill many. Why didn’t they seek revenge on the guy in the forum who abused and killed 20 or 30 cats and dogs!!

This is not fair!

While Xu Cheng was thinking this, there was silence on the other end of the phone.

“So that’s what you think.” There was a hint of weirdness in the agent’s voice, and he spoke in an unusually calm tone.

Xu Cheng’s heart tightened. He suddenly felt something sticky in his hands and ears. When he put his hands down, he saw that the phone he was holding had turned into the body of a dead bird.

The dead bird was so limp that it seemed as if no bones could be felt. It also seemed as if all the bones in its body were broken, just like…

Just like the one he stepped on to death.

“Ahhhhhhhh!!” With Xu Cheng’s scream, the cycle of nightmare began again.
