All Furries Love Me!! - Chapter 4

Chapter 4 – Even the Demons Dislike Ugly People

However, the snow leopard cub seemed a little too excited. Ji Xingchun bit his lower lip lightly, trying to hold back the cry of pain caused by the excited cub unconsciously stretching out its claws and scratching the back of his hand.

Recalling the knowledge he had learned, Ji Xingchun gently shook his arms. He put one hand under the little snow leopard’s feet to prevent it from being frightened by being suspended in the air, and with the other hand he gently stroked the cub’s soft belly, applying a little force with his palm.

He observed the snow leopard’s pupils, ears, and moist nose tip. Combined with the fact that he had just touched the little snow leopard and did not feel any abnormal swelling in its internal organs, he roughly confirmed that the cub was not suffering from any illness.

Ji Xingchun felt relieved, and then he squatted down and let the cub get closer to the ground to increase its sense of security. With his other hand, he gently stroked the top of the cub’s head, lingered slightly on the back of the neck, and then pushed back to smooth out the fur that was a little messy due to the previous struggle.

While doing this, Ji Xingchun said softly: “Be good, don’t be afraid…”

The snow leopard cub paused, a trace of confusion flashing in its blue eyes.

This human… doesn’t seem to have any ill will towards him?

No, no, no, humans have always been cunning and good at disguise, it cannot jump to conclusions!

The little snow leopard was in a state of hesitation. During this pause, it suddenly realized…

It seems that being rubbed by this human being… is quite comfortable?

No, no, no! It’s not an ordinary snow leopard, how can it be subdued by just a few rubs?

But it seems to be really comfortable? ?

Human fingers are very soft. When they pass through his fur, the fingertips stroke the roots of the fur like a row of small brushes, bringing a tingling sensation.

‘Not good, a little bit high…’

Just as the little snow leopard and the human were ‘fighting,’ Lu Fangbin next to them reacted.

He is regretting it so much now!!

Lu Fangbin’s teeth were about to be broken, he had calculated wrong!

The demons were indeed xenophobic, but now that they had opened a zoo and even began hiring human employees, how could he still use the stereotypes of the past? !

Now it’s over! That ordinary person got there first!

No, as the leader of the current generation of the Lu family, how could he fall behind such a person? !

Thinking of it, Lu Fangbin suddenly became eager. He took two steps at a time and walked towards Ji Xingchun, trying to grab the snow leopard cub in his hand.

He raised his hand and confused right and wrong:

“Look at you, you have scared this little demon… the cub. Let a professional like me handle it!”

As Lu Fangbin moved, he quietly conjured a spell in his palm.

The fact that the Lu family, as a family of the mystic arts, had been able to pass down to this day could be attributed largely to their ability to tame demons.

Taming meant being able to control means to control and dominate.

Under any other circumstances, Lu Fangbin would not have rashly used magic, but based on his observation, the demon in charge of the zoo seemed to be very young, and was probably just the best among the younger generation of demons.

‘Come to think of it, why would those great demons with strong bloodlines and backgrounds be willing to come here?’

Lu Fangbin was sure that the director and the adult demon would not discover that he was using magic. At that time, he only needed to control the leopard demon cub to be extra close to him. Then, everyone would probably shift their attention to him.

With such confidence, Lu Fangbin didn’t think he would fail at all.

However, in Ji Xingchun’s eyes, he felt something was wrong.

Because Lu Fangbin looked a little too excited, he felt subtly uneasy.

The little snow leopard, Xuebao Er Hao nestled in Ji Xingchun’s arms reacted faster than Ji Xingchun.

As soon as Lu Fangbin took a step forward, the leopard cub immediately raised its head alertly. When it saw the other party’s outstretched hand, it was immediately startled. Its four short limbs retreated desperately and his whole body quickly shrank into Ji Xingchun’s arms.

Not only was rejection written all over its body, but even its inner thoughts showed real resistance!

【Where did this human come from?! So ugly! I don’t want you!! Go away! !】

【Don’t come over here! If you come over again, I will be rude to you!】

One surely wouldn’t know unless they compared properly. Xuebao Er Hao originally thought that Ji Xingchun was a pretty pleasing human. But once he compared him with Lu Fangbin, he immediately discovered that Ji Xingchun was not only handsome and clean, but also had a faint, pleasant fragrance if he sniffed the other party carefully.

In comparison, not only did Lu Fangbin have a strange smile on his face, but there was also an indescribable sense of danger about him.

If the other party gets any closer, all the hair on its body will stand up!

When Ji Xingchun heard the snow leopard cub’s voice, he immediately frowned and wanted to warn Lu Fangbin.

However, due to his social anxiety, Ji Xingchun held it in for a long time until he finally managed to utter: “…Don’t do this, you will scare it.”

How could Lu Fangbin listen to Ji Xingchun’s advice?

In his opinion, Ji Xingchun’s warning was just a sign that the latter was afraid of him stealing the credit.

Ignoring Ji Xingchun, Lu Fangbin simply reached out his hand, not noticing Hei Jin’s eyes suddenly becoming sharp.

But before Lu Fangbin touched Xuebao Er Hao, he felt a burning sensation on the back of his hand, followed by a tearing pain!

Ji Xingchun blinked. He couldn’t even see the little snow leopard’s movements clearly. Only a blurry afterimage remained in his retina.

By the time he reacted, he only heard Lu Fangbin’s angry screams!

At the same time, Hei Jin sneered. Although Xuebao Er Hao’s name sounded silly and he didn’t look threatening, he was still a leopard demon after all.

If he really got serious, the destructive power was still very dangerous to humans. The reason why he looked so honest before was because Xuebao Er Hao knew that he couldn’t beat himself, so he wisely tucked his tail between his legs and behaved like a well-behaved cub.

When Lu Fangbin came to his senses, he saw deep and long bloodstains on his hands, with a hint of demonic power that Ji Xingchun could not see, which was causing increasing pain in his flesh and blood.

Because of such a thing, the spell he had prepared was naturally interrupted, but that was not the point.

The point was that he had been a genius in the mystical arts since childhood, but he was actually injured by a demon who had not yet reached adulthood!?

Ji Xingchun looked at Lu Fangbin’s distorted expression, and the feeling that something was wrong became stronger. At that moment, he suppressed his instinctual social anxiety and moved closer to him pretending to be concerned.

It appeared as if he was concerned about the wound on Lu Fangbin’s hand, but he was actually blocking the latter from approaching the leopard cub. Before Ji Xingchun opened his mouth, he heard Lu Fangbin’s inner voice.

【You are just a beast that can’t even speak human language, yet you dare to hurt me?!】

【If I were allowed to enter work at this zoo, I would definitely take the time to skin you and pull out all the bones from your body!!】

Ji Xingchun was slightly stunned, and at that moment he heard the faint voice of the snow leopard cub in his arms.

The voice was a little bit babyish, but it was filled with fear, panic, and uneasiness:

【What should I do? I attacked that human.】

【Daddy once told me that humans love to hold grudges!】

Just when Xuebao Er Hao was worried, it felt Ji Xingchun suddenly pick it up. The man then quickly took two steps away from the human being it had scratched.

Because of his personality and social anxiety, Ji Xingchun often chooses to avoid communication and contact with others, and sometimes he even prefers to suffer losses himself.

Therefore, he always left people with the impression of being good-tempered and easy to talk to.

However, at this moment, his face was extremely gloomy, and his tone had become dozens of degrees colder.

“Mr. Lu, I had already reminded you not to get close to the frightened cubs, but you still insisted on doing so.”

“Excuse me, are you really qualified to work in this industry?”

When Lu Fangbin was questioned by Ji Xingchun’s tone, he felt guilty for two seconds, but he quickly reacted and became confident.

He is a master of metaphysics, and the Lu family he came from was once very famous in the world of mystics, so famous that other masters would avoid him when they saw him!

If it weren’t for the current depletion of spiritual energy and the decline of mystic arts…why else would he have the need to come to this zoo and work under these inferior monsters? !

Lu Fangbin’s thoughts changed very quickly, because he was really frightened by Ji Xingchun for a moment just now. After he returned to his senses, he became angry and embarrassed.

The person in front of him was just an ordinary person, but he had the guts to question him?

Who did he think he was? !

Once it happens, there will be a second time. Lu Fangbin ignored the pain in his hand and subconsciously planned to use a spell to teach the person on the other side a lesson.

If he didn’t establish his authority, he, a master of mysticism, might be bullied by an ordinary person!

At this moment, Xuebao Er Hao, who was hiding in Ji Xingchun’s arms and feeling that inexplicable sense of security, keenly smelled that strange smell again.

It was dirty, smelly, and mixed with malice, this time he could clearly feel it emanating from Lu Fangbin.

‘Oops! What is this bad human planning to do?’

It had to warn the good human holding itself!

Xuebao Er Hao made an anxious “wow” sound, regretting deeply in his heart – if only it could speak!

Humans simply couldn’t understand its words, and now it couldn’t even warn the other party of danger. How infuriating!!

It didn’t know that Ji Xingchun had heard those words through his heart:

【Run! The ugly guy is going to do something bad! !】

Do something bad?

Ji Xingchun’s first reaction was that Lu Fangbin was angry and was about to hit him, but before he could react, he suddenly saw a figure blocking his way.

The opponent was very small, even reaching just up to Ji Xingchun’s shoulders, and did not look intimidating, but for some reason Lu Fangbin’s momentum instantly weakened.

The demon with a delicate appearance and a boyish appearance said, “Mr. Lu, please go back.”

Seeing that Lu Fangbin didn’t seem to react, the director tilted his head in a rather cute manner, but the words that came out of his mouth dealt him a real blow:

“Xiao Ji is quite right. You really aren’t qualified for this job.”

Ji Xingchun: …Xiao Ji?

Lu Fangbin’s face began to turn red and then purple. He wanted to refute, but was suddenly shocked to find himself standing in front of the director and unable to use any mystical arts!

He was wrong! The demon race was clearly… incredibly strong! !

The director glanced at him again, half smiling, and Lu Fangbin gritted his teeth and said knowingly, “…I know.”

Although he said so, his heart was boiling with venom and he wished he could tear the demon in front of him to pieces.

Ji Xingchun watched the scene and felt a little confused.

Just…is it supposed to be really solved like this?

Judging from Lu Fangbin’s character, he thought that the other party would not give in.

But before he had time to think about it, Ji Xingchun was distracted by the warm and tingling touch on his hand.

When he lowered his head, he saw that the little snow leopard he was holding was licking the place where he had been scratched.

The leopard cub did it unintentionally at that time, so the wound was not deep. It was just a thin red line on the back of the hand, much lighter than Lu Fangbin’s.

As if noticing Ji Xingchun’s gaze, the leopard cub raised its head and looked at him innocently with its blue eyes.

【I’ll lick your wounds. I did it by accident just now… Don’t blame me!】

If the Snow Leopard’s father saw this scene, he would be so shocked that his eyes would have popped out. His lawless kid could actually feel embarrassed for making a mistake? !

He would be afraid that the sun had risen from the west soon!

And Ji Xingchun just thought: ‘So cute…ah, I’m dead.’

Before he could immerse himself in the joy of being approached by the snow leopard cub, he felt a pat on his shoulder. He turned around and saw the director said to him, “Xiao Ji, put Xuebao Er Hao down. Let’s go sign the contract.”

Ji Xingchun blinked, feeling like he had hit the jackpot- he was hired right away?

With such an unreal feeling, Ji Xingchun saw the man nodding slightly at him when he handed the snow leopard cub to Hei Jin.

Is this…acknowledging him?

Ji Xingchun felt a little happy and a little embarrassed.

While being led to the office by the director, Ji Xingchun thought of Lu Fangbin’s appearance before he left. After hesitating for a while, he could not help but remind him:

“Um… the director? I think there was something wrong with Lu Fangbin’s expression before he left.”

Ji Xingchun pursed his lips after he finished speaking. It was just his own speculation. After all, he was the only one who could hear Lu Fangbin’s malicious inner thoughts. Perhaps the director would not take it seriously at all…

Thinking of this, Ji Xingchun saw the directly said meaningfully: “It’s okay, someone will take care of it.”

Ji Xingchun: ? ?

•=•=•

“… Just a flat-haired beast. He was in collusion with that lowly mortal. I’m afraid he didn’t intend to hire me from the beginning!”

“They just want to laugh at me and tease me on purpose…!”

Lu Fangbin was so angry that he kicked the trash can on the side of the road.

He didn’t know what the person on the other end of the phone said, but the expression on his face suddenly softened:

“Indeed, there is no need to pay attention to this place anymore.”

Lu Fangbin sneered, his face filled with a mixture of malice and excitement, and he spoke word by word:

“A place that uses inferior means to raise cubs, causing them to go crazy and kill ordinary people, is probably going to shut down soon.”

As soon as he finished speaking, his arm suddenly bent in a twisted arc, and the mobile phone in his hand fell to the ground, with the screen shattered.

Lu Fangbin let out a scream, and only then did he realize that the originally bright sky had dimmed at some point, and the surrounding space was filled with a strange atmosphere.

A breeze with a faint fishy smell blew by, and heavy footsteps came from behind.

Turning his head stiffly, Lu Fangbin saw a dog-shaped demon standing behind him, which was at least two meters tall and had fur that looked platinum under the sunlight.

“Get out.” A roar as if coming from the abyss sounded.

Lu Fangbin stood there, not daring to move even a hair.

It was not until the demon gradually disappeared that Lu Fangbin collapsed to the ground, trembling all over!
