Chapter 202

Jun Jun nodded without hesitation: "Sure!"

He spoke, feeling as if something in his chest might jump out at any moment; so nervous his fingers went numb, and all his enthusiasm eventually turned into a slow breath.

The Mysterious Cat Queen was resting in her nest, the noisy little kittens all huddled together quietly; the room was utterly tranquil, only the heavy snow falling outside the window.

Suddenly, a strange male voice interjected.

"You're going to Tan City? That Tan City in Jiangxi?"

Deputy Captain Zhou Ziyan, who was checking the flight route, narrowed his eyes slightly, his gaze dim and hard to read, yet a hint of surprise flickered within.

Ling Yue detected the excitement in his tone, a little surprised: "What's up, Captain Zhou?"

She stared at the flying snow outside the window and asked aloud.

Zhou Ziyan sighed: "You should know about the Xuanmen Association's affairs; they're not giving up, dreaming of a comeback, and reportedly have ties with some foreign bigwig!"

He said it while slamming his fist hard on the redwood table, knowing this bunch of traitors had no good intentions!

He quickly composed himself and said firmly: "Our informants have reported that they seem to have discovered something, mobilizing a team to rush to Longhu Mountain outside Tan City in Jiangxi; Longhu Mountain belongs to the Daoist lineage, and although few practice Daoist arts in the Dharma-ending age, the Dao lineage still exists, so their sudden ascent likely means something else—can you go there?"

He asked Ling Yue in a consultative tone, then added: "I'll send other team members to support you."

Hearing his introduction, Ling Yue felt a spark of curiosity, and without hesitation she said: "Sure, I can do that."

After all, she and the Special Safety Bureau have a mutually beneficial relationship; having received their help, she naturally ought to repay them.

Unexpectedly smooth, the heavy stone weighing on Zhou Ziyan's heart began to loosen.

Ling Yue hung up the phone and said to Jun Jun: "Let's go!"

Jing Shi.

A sudden goose-feather blizzard descended, cloaking the steel-and-concrete jungle in a layer of pure white; outside a high-rise residential building, children on winter break pressed their faces to the floor-to-ceiling window, exhaling fog and clumsily writing the characters their kindergarten teacher had taught.

Suddenly, he widened his eyes in astonishment, and in his round pupils reflected a massive, awe-inspiring figure.

A huge, super‑handsome brain tiger! Its eyes stared wide like oranges, its whole body pure white, and in the snow it also had two pairs of pure white giant wings!

"Dad, dad, a tiger! There's a tiger!"

He exclaimed in surprise, the child's mother was resting, and the father who was cooking in the kitchen, hearing this, instantly tensed up, grabbed his spatula and rushed out: "A tiger? What tiger?!"

The child pointed at the window: "There's a brain tiger flying in the sky!"

He was so excited he could barely speak; hearing this, the father fell silent, looked at his son speechlessly, and said: "How could there be a tiger in the sky? You must be seeing things."

The child pouted: "The brain tiger is flying in the sky, Dad can't see it, but I can!"

The father was about to say more when a burnt smell hit his nostrils; his face instantly changed, and he waved his spatula wildly: "The vegetables! I burned the veggies in my pot!"

"You little brat, quit spouting nonsense!"

He hurried into the kitchen, and his loud voice reached the child's ears: "You're definitely seeing things; I told you not to play with the tablet, but you wouldn't listen."

The little child rubbed his eyes, his chubby face full of bewilderment: "I really saw it, a super‑awesome brain tiger!"

How did it just disappear?

A tiny head, huge doubts. JPG

Not far above the thick cloud layer, a large hole suddenly tore open; a pure‑white giant tiger with wings on its back was indeed flying in the sky, and on its back rode a person.

Ling Yue rode on Jun Jun's back, gripping its fur; soft snowflakes drifted in the high air, and a thin, transparent protective shield like a big bubble enveloped both person and tiger.

This is Ling Yue's solution; just because the recent flights were temporarily cancelled doesn't mean she had no other options, and upon seeing Jun Jun she realized what foolish thing she had done.

Forsaking the near for the far!

Jun Jun's speed can far surpass that of an airplane.

Having flown out of Jing Shi's limits, the heavy snow‑laden gloomy clouds dispersed, and Ling Yue had it hide in the cloud layer, trying to avoid detection.

Along the way they also encountered a flying bird, which stared at her in shock, its beak gaping wide in astonishment.

It excitedly told its companion: "Honey, did you see that? A huge tiger with a person on its back actually took off into the sky!"

Its mate glanced over in surprise, seeing only clouds as big and fluffy as cotton candy.

Had it not been flying high, it would probably have smacked it with a wing right away: "You little fool, how could there be a tiger in the sky?"

The male bird shrank its head in grievance: "But I really saw it—don't you believe me——

Before it could finish, it looked back at the original spot—already empty—and the male bird: "……

Could it really just be my hallucination?

It wavered in thought, unaware that what it had seen was indeed real; Jun Jun, wanting to perform well before Ling Yue, had sped up and flung them far behind.

At full speed, Jun Jun got them there in over ten minutes; when Ling Yue disembarked, her steps were still a bit wobbly—too, too fast!

She barely steadied her footing, her expression well‑composed, just as she was about to head to the police station, a pair of arms reached out and pulled her into an embrace, a warm, familiar scent instantly washing over her.

Ling Yue blinked, lifted her gaze again, and met the boy's guilty yet concerned eyes: "Was I too fast?"

"I feel you're uncomfortable, Yueyue……

He was somewhat at a loss, like a child who'd made a mistake, and what surprised her even more was the boy's shadow reflected in her pupils.

White animal ears sprouted on his head; at this moment, due to his low spirits, they drooped softly.

Ling Yue's eyes flickered slightly.

She is a total fur‑fanatic, loving small animals and especially those with fur.

Although they landed in a secluded alley, it didn't prevent anyone from coming.

Without a second thought, she reached from his embrace and covered his two ears.

"They've popped out, your ears."

A light, offhand remark—never mind the ears, the furry tail as thick as a wrist coiled around her waist, gently rubbing against her.

Ling Yue wanted to speak, but couldn't utter a word—quieter even than when it snows.

Half a minute later, Ling Yue walked out of the alley, Jun Jun following step for step behind her, the boy's face silently suffusing with a crimson flush.

"Too, too much—how can someone play and then give nothing at all!" he muttered under his breath.

Ling Yue, hearing the voice: "……"

Didn't you voluntarily ask me to help you retract your ears and tail?

The little tiger's thoughts are hard to guess, huh.

She simply hasn't awakened the string of love; her mind is full of career, she's a cute little animal—perhaps Jun Jun also knows that, which is why she chose to take it slow.

The landing spot was near the police precinct; Ling Yue walked straight into the precinct, and the moment she saw her, everyone—including the little fox—was greatly startled.

Ling Yue produced her Special Safety Bureau ID; upon seeing it, the captain's expression instantly cleared: "So that's how it is—I'll cooperate with all your work."

Waa waa waa~ waa waa waa~

Human, you're so fast! When did you arrive? Come save me quickly!

The little fox was in Yue Er—oh no, I mean in the little girl Jiao Jiao's arms, its tail wagging excitedly, as if it would leap out any second.

Her identity was surprisingly easy to uncover, also shocking: she is the daughter of the president of the neighboring Ying City Chamber of Commerce, Lan Jiao Jiao. Earlier, while shopping with her mother at the supermarket, the adults didn't notice the little girl wandering off, and she was spotted by traffickers rushing to boost their year-end sales, who abducted her.

After checking the surveillance, even the bodyguards who rushed in for questioning brushed past the traffickers, because the experienced traffickers had simply disguised her completely.

Her soft long hair was shaved off, she was dressed in boys' clothes, □□ covering her mouth, hiding her face, making her indistinguishable from a sleeping boy.

Upon learning the truth, Lan Jiao Jiao's parents were driven mad.

Several older brothers were already adults; the little girl was the youngest child in the family, the apple of her parents' eye. When this happened suddenly, the other side immediately offered a million‑dollar bounty, solely to find any clue about the missing daughter.

Yet no one expected that, within just a few days, she had already been transported to the neighboring Tan City.

Upon hearing the news, Lan's mother, hospitalized out of guilt and sorrow, was on an IV drip yet rushing over; one could say the whole family was on their way.

Getting back to the point, the little girl held the fox too tightly, causing Xue Duo to want to move even half a step away—a mere wishful thinking.

At first it could be said she was enjoying it, but after holding it for a long time, the fox's jiojio went numb, and Xue Duo finally became anxious; in this situation, suddenly seeing Ling Yue, whom she liked immensely, she felt as if she had seen a savior.

Suddenly slipping, the chubby fox, fed big fish and meat, its plump weight made it hard to hold, and in an instant it turned into a strange pose with its butt up and head down.

Ling Yue couldn't help laughing; the fox Xue Duo: "!!!"

You got it wrong, you're a big bad guy! The fox pounding the ground. JPG

Ling Yue bent down and gently greeted the little girl: "Hello. Your little companion is really beautiful, but I can tell it looks uncomfortable."

The fox Xue Duo: "Waa waa waa~ waa waa waa~"

While calling, she rubbed her belly and waved her paws: "Yue Er, quickly put the fox down, it's so uncomfortable~"

Sure enough, the little girl panicked; in her mind, the fox Xue Duo was her most important companion, having kept her company for a long time. She pressed her lips, then let go: "Bai Bai, don't be uncomfortable."

As soon as the little fox hit the ground, it slipped onto the table with a "sisisi": "Hahaha I'm free!"

The next moment, Ling Yue patted its little head: "Jiao Jiao is watching." Don't get too cocky as a fox.

The fox Xue Duo rolled its eyes, then obediently squatted down.

What followed went unusually smoothly; Ling Yue reached an agreement with the police, her gaze falling on the little fox Xue Duo. Before she could say anything, Xue Duo was already lying on the table: "Human, I want to go home—can you send me back?"

The working fox was really exhausted; making a pleasure‑loving little fox perk up was even harder.

If it weren't for Jiao Jiao, its lifesaver, it would have already run back to the mountains.

Ling Yue raised an eyebrow, smiling: "Sure."

The fox looked at her, hearing Ling Yue continue: "We'll drive you home, and we can also help clear out those traffickers who've taken over your nest."

As she spoke those words, a cold, ruthless gleam flashed in her eyes, like a drawn blade.

The little fox jumped in fright.

In the car, it realized what kind of villains it had encountered, and it clung tightly to its big tail in terror: "So, so scary!"

Ling Yue rubbed its little head; the off‑road vehicle was about to enter the suburbs and head into the mountains. She lifted her long eyelashes: "Little fox, where is your home?"

"Longhu Mountain~",,.
