All Furries Love Me!! - Chapter 44 PT2
Chapter 44 PT2 – The Demon Cubs Rebel
Taking a step forward, Ji Xingchun saw that Xuebao Er Hao shuddered and almost jumped off the table. He couldn’t help but reflect on whether he had gone too far when he taught the snow leopard cub a lesson for pretending to be sick last time…
The light plastic cage also shook due to Xuebao Er Hao’s action. The titmouse inside jumped on the pole and chirped:
“Xiao Ji! Come and protect the emperor! You are the one who will defeat these rebels!”
Ji Xingchun: …What weird ancient TV series has the director watched recently???
The young man paused for a moment, then decided to cooperate with the director’s performance. Ji Xingchun issued an ultimatum to Xuebao Er Hao: “Xuebao Er Hao, quickly release the director, it’s not too late for you to turn back now…!”
The snow leopard cub heard Ji Xingchun’s serious tone and immediately began to feel guilty. It shifted its gaze to Pearl next to it, trying to ask for help!
Pearl was actually a little scared when she saw Ji Xingchun coming, and she was holding on now. Seeing the leopard cub’s eyes asking for help, the white elephant perked up and gestured with her trunk:
「Xuebao Er Hao!! Do you remember our previous rehearsal? Now that we have the “bird” in hand, quickly propose conditions to Xiao Ji!!」
Ji Xingchun listened to the baby elephant’s inner voice and couldn’t help but stand in awe: I don’t know how Pearl can express such a complex meaning with her nose!
So the key point came to the little snow leopard.
Xuebao Er Hao’s eyes were piercing as he watched Pearl’s flexible nose twisting in the air. It was obvious that he didn’t understand what Pearl meant.
「Ah? Ah? Ah? What is Pearl doing? What does it mean? ?」
The snow leopard cub had a dazed look in its eyes, with confusion in its eyes.
Pearl: ………Damn it, Bao Er looks so stupid, he must not understand what it just said!!
Ji Xingchun coughed lightly to suppress the smile that was about to spread out. After all, the current situation was so “serious”, how could he ruin the atmosphere?
After calming down, Ji Xingchun decided to give the cubs a way out, so he stepped forward and said to the leopard cub in a deep voice:
“The director is in your hands now. He is the core and key of our zoo. He must not be harmed under any circumstances!”
Taking a deep breath, Ji Xingchun seemed to be making a painful choice, and said word by word: “How about this, cub, as long as you are willing to release the director, you can put forward a condition, and I will try my best to meet it.”
Bai Wei, the titmouse watching the show in the cage, tilted his head: Wow, I didn’t expect Xiao Ji to be so good at playing! His acting skills are so good!
Bei Ming, lying on the sofa, was a little anxious: Bai Wei’s stupid bird could break free from the small plastic cage in an instant, why didn’t he want to come out?
Ji Xingchun didn’t know that Bai Wei was fine, and he was still worried about him! What if these guys made some lawless demands?!
Even if it is mentioned…it should be him who should bring it up!!
After hearing the first half of Bei Ming’s thoughts, Ji Xingchun, who was somewhat moved by the little tiger’s worry about him, said: Hmm???
On the other hand, when Pearl, who was cursing Xuebao Er Hao in her heart for being an unreliable monster, heard Ji Xingchun say this, her eyes lit up!
Quick! Xuebao Er Hao! Here comes the chance!!
At this time, you must know what conditions you should put forward! !
The little white elephant baby looked expectantly at the snow leopard cub on the desk and gave it a look that said “you know what to do”.
Xuebao Er Hao, who was at the center of the incident and the focus of everyone’s attention, was stunned when he heard Ji Xingchun say this.
Any conditions? We will try our best to meet them? ?
What it wants to bring up is of course “that”!
The little snow leopard slapped the table with its paws in a lively manner, and immediately let out two proud “howls”!
「Then I want to eat the thin and crispy meat jerky that Xiao Ji brought last time! ! The kind that tastes especially good when chewed! I want to eat enough at once! !」
Xuebao Er Hao started the conversation, and the other cubs at the scene also poked their heads out, mustering up the courage to put forward the conditions they wanted:
「I want one too! I want to eat the sweet and sour milk cake that Xiao Ji made by himself! The colorful and soft one that he brought us last time! !」
「Can I have another taste of the pine nuts that Xiao Ji brought last week? I like the taste…」
「There are also dried fruits and vegetables! Is that what it is called? Don’t forget the dried fruits and vegetables!!」】
Pearl: ………Xuebao Er Hao? And you guys???
The titmouse in the cage was stunned for a second, and suddenly fell off the pole. The fluffy bird ball was rolling on the pad at the bottom of the cage. Its small body was trembling slightly, and it was making a discordant “chirp” sound from its mouth.
Bai Wei:
「Help! Hahahaha, these cubs are so funny! !」
「Especially this Xuebao Er Hao, he is so silly and funny!」
「If I remember correctly, its father should be the current leopard demon clan leader! I will definitely tell him about this later, hahahahahaha」
Ji Xingchun was silent for a while after hearing Xuebao Er Hao’s request. At this moment, he had only one thought in his mind:
He usually fed Xuebao Er Hao but he never gets hungry. Why is he so greedy?
The cub lowered his head and looked at Bai Wei in the cage he was standing on. He panicked: Wait, why did this bird suddenly become like this? ?
Could it be that he suddenly fell ill or something? Can demons get sick?
No, the point is that if something happens to the bird, then he can’t use it to blackmail, oh no, he’s making a request to Xiao Ji!!
The panicked snow leopard cub leaned over and stared at Bai Wei in the cage with its big round eyes, trying to figure out what had happened to this bird.
At this moment, Pearl, who could no longer bear it, slapped the leopard cub on the top of his head with her nose: “Get off! I must have had my head caught in the door to let you do this!!”
“Ah???” Xuebao Er Hao felt aggrieved: What if his precious leopard head was knocked silly by Pearl?
The little snow leopard actually didn’t want to give in, but considering Bai Wei’s condition, he was afraid that if something really happened he would have to take responsibility, so Xuebao Er Hao immediately jumped off the desk and ran to the side with his tail between his legs.
Ji Xingchun watched Pearl walk up to him. His attitude softened a little, and he leaned down slightly and asked, “Pearl, what do you want to say to me?”
The baby elephant showed a stubborn look, and its trunk swayed back and forth in front of it as if reflecting its mood.
“I…I want you to come and play with me at least every day! At least more than two hours each time… No, at least more than three hours!!”
“And, you can’t be distracted during this time! You can’t think about other cubs! Especially those two water monsters in Shuanghu Garden!!”
Hearing this, Xuebao Er Hao couldn’t help but interrupt and said, “But Pearl, didn’t you always tell me that only one of the monsters in Shuanghu Garden was a water monster, and the other one was a land monster like us?”
After saying this, the little elephant glared at it fiercely: “Xuebao Er Hao, shut up!!”
After Pearl glared at Xuebao Er Hao, as if she was afraid that she would not have the chance to speak again, she hurriedly said:
“These are not enough! I haven’t mentioned everything yet!! And… and… Oh, right! That crunchy dried fruit! I want some too!!”
It got stuck here for a moment, then immediately added something as it remembered.
To put it bluntly, for the cubs, what they want is few and simple.
The words that Pearl said were all in the language of the demon clan. Logically, Ji Xingchun should not be able to understand them, but Bai Wei in the cage behind him had been diligently translating for him.
Ji Xingchun listened to Bai Wei’s retelling, nodded, and said to Pearl, “Don’t worry, I’m listening. Is there anything else you want?”
Pearl was stunned when she heard Ji Xingchun’s words.
She was prepared to be reprimanded by Ji Xingchun. After all, she was the one who started this matter. But when she heard the young man’s gentle and sincere tone…
For some reason, Pearl suddenly felt her eyes sore, and something warm and wet blurred her vision.
Ji Xingchun didn’t expect that his simple words would make the baby elephant almost cry. He quickly went over and hugged Pearl.
Because of the size difference between them, the young man could only hug the baby elephant’s head with his hands. Feeling the hands around her face, Pearl raised her trunk and wrapped it around the young man’s back as if seeking warmth.
At this moment they were in such a close relationship that for a moment, all the cubs present, as well as the director and Bei Ming, all fell silent, fearing to disturb the atmosphere between this man and this demon.
“I, I also want to hug Xiao Ji…” Xuebao Er Hao over there lay on the ground, looking at Ji Xingchun eagerly, and said in a low voice.
After it finished speaking, the tufted deer next to it bumped its head: “Shh! Don’t talk!”
The snow leopard cub blinked its big round eyes and obediently covered its mouth with its paws.
No one spoke for a moment. Ji Xingchun stroked Pearl’s cheek with one hand and gently touched the top of her head with the other hand. His hand stroked the baby-elephant’s rough and wrinkled skin, bringing a slight rustling feeling to his fingertips.
After a long while, the young man finally spoke and said softly, “Do you feel better now?”
The little elephant raised his trunk and rubbed his eyes quietly to wipe away the little bit of moisture, pretending that he did not suddenly break down.
It didn’t understand. Everything was fine before, but why did it suddenly feel so aggrieved when it heard Ji Xingchun’s simple question?
Obviously it is not such a fragile monster.
Ji Xingchun gently held the baby elephant’s trunk to prevent it from rubbing its eyes vigorously and roughly, then he took out a pack of alcohol-free wet wipes from his pocket and pulled out one.
The young man used wet tissue to gently wipe the baby elephant’s eyes, and at the same time helped to clean up the crystals that had condensed near the tear glands in the eyes. Pearl cooperated and closed her eyes to let him do it.
After a while, Ji Xingchun put down his hand and looked down at the tissue in his hand.
At this time, the tufted deer quietly walked to his side, its almond-shaped eyes fluttering, signaling Ji Xingchun to hand it the tissue.
Ji Xingchun nodded, handed over the wet wipes, and watched the deer walk to the trash can with the tissue in its mouth, then opened its mouth and threw it in.
The little golden monkey also came over and climbed onto Pearl’s neck, but said nothing. It just stayed with her quietly.
Xuebao Er Hao hesitantly came to the baby elephant and said pitifully: “Pearl…I’m sorry, did I make you angry just now?”
The golden pheasant chick on the windowsill chirped twice, which roughly meant: “Leopard, stop talking!”
The baby elephant lowered his head and looked at his friends around him, then looked at Ji Xingchun, and suddenly she felt the tears that she had finally stopped welling up again.
It has been a long time since it came to the zoo. Although it has made so many friends and met Ji Xingchun, it still feels… so lonely.
Its tribe and blood relatives are thousands of miles away.
This feeling of emptiness cannot be filled no matter how much you have in the zoo.
Ji Xingchun couldn’t help but feel moved when he heard Pearl’s voice.
The young man suddenly felt extremely annoyed, but this emotion was directed at himself – why had he never noticed it?
In nature, elephants are creatures that attach great importance to family affection. They are smart, have extremely high wisdom among animals, and are extremely affectionate.
Even towards humans who have helped them, elephants will be grateful and will never forget the gratitude. So this feeling will be even stronger towards their relatives.
Someone once did a study and found that after a tribe member died, the elephants would mourn for him or her for several months, and even return to the burial place of the tribe member at the same time every year to mourn him or her.
So what is Pearl feeling when she lives alone in the zoo away from her group? !
