Chapter 2602: Magical Creatures in the Garden 09

This time Jin Chen discovered a faint shadow in the bear's stomach that human instruments could hardly detect, like an impurity carrying a faint turbid qi.

Jin Chen asked Pipi, "Have you eaten something strange lately?"

Pipi honestly thought back and spoke slowly.

"Pipi, a few days ago while drinking water... the water got stuck in his throat, he coughed for a long time, then it got better."

Tiger Valley interjected, "Pipi, you're really stupid! That water must be the problem!"

Jin Chen thought, then commanded Tiger Valley, "Go, dig up some clean soil."

He also patted the grass beside him, indicating he wanted grass.

Sun Ning and Amu standing outside the gate looked bewildered, seeing the tiger obediently dig up some soil with its paws, and the little lion let out a few roars, as if directing something.

They thought the animals were just playing around, and Amu even casually pulled a handful of tender grass leaves from the side and passed them through the fence.

"Little Lion, do you want this?"

As a result, they stared wide-eyed as Tiger Valley, following the Little White Lion's instructions, roughly mixed the soil and grass leaves together, then used the big basin Pipi usually drinks from to scoop water from the small pool inside the garden and pour it in.

Finally, Jin Chen diluted the basic healing monster power in the water and had Pipi drink this basin of Special Blend.

The two keepers: "!!!"

This is unbearable!

How could Pipi drink this muddy water!

Tiger Valley, however, suddenly turned around, blocked them, and let out a fierce roar, "You guys are also tigers! Didn't you see the boss is treating an illness!"

Pipi felt the water looked weird, but obediently lowered his big head and gulped down the whole basin of water with glug-glug sounds.

The Little White Lion stood aside, carefully observing Pipi's reaction.

Suddenly, he jumped onto the tiger's back and patted it.

"Run!"

Tiger Valley didn't understand why, but firmly obeyed the boss's order, carrying the little lion on his head as he turned and ran out of the garden.

Sun Ning and Amu, feeling doubtful, hurriedly went around Tiger Valley, rushed in to check Pipi's condition.

Just as they got close, they heard Pipi's stomach emit a loud gurgling sound; immediately afterward, with no warning, Pipi suddenly lifted his rear and began……

to poop.

So much poop! It kept coming! And it gave off an indescribable smell!

Sun Ning and Amu: "……"

The two instantly had complex expressions.

Pipi, however, wore an expression of utter relief and complete ease.

After finishing, it even regained its former lively spirit, rubbing its rear on the clean grass, and stepping out it also wanted to slip outside.

"Big Brother, wait for me!"

Tiger Valley, who had already run some distance, ran back again at the little lion's command.

This time he also balanced a basin on his head, borrowed from the gray bear Dun Dun next door who was still snoring loudly asleep.

The basin was filled with clean water.

The Little White Lion stood on Tiger Valley's head and commanded, "Roar!"

"Jump in quickly to wash up! It's stinky!"

Pipi obediently patted his finally flattened belly, made an easy leap, and with a splashing sound jumped into the big basin, sending up water droplets.

The splash drenched Sun Ning and Amu who had rushed over, covering their heads and faces.

Sun Ning and Amu, once again soaked head to toe: "……"

The two wiped water from their faces, watching the brown bear happily splashing in the basin, obviously restored to energy, and fell into deep thought.

Jin Chen, seeing the trouble, made a quick decision, patted Tiger Valley's forehead with his paw, and said, "Run!"

Tiger Valley reacted extremely quickly, turned while carrying the Little White Lion on his head, and leapt out.

Its huge body ran with unusual lightness, kicking up a gust of wind.

Having just washed itself clean and shaking off water droplets, Pipi, seeing this, hurriedly rolled twice on the dry grass to roughly dry its fur, then stepped forward, puffing and panting to keep up.

"Boss! Wait for me again!"

The Little White Lion led his two freshly recruited followers—a mighty tiger and a revitalized, sturdy brown bear—forming a troop that looked strange no matter how you looked at it, continuing to patrol the garden's roads.

Tiger Valley, while running, excitedly asked the boss on his head via thought.

"Boss, should we continue to look for other little partners?"

Jin Chen estimated the time Bairendong needed to handle the peacocks over there, feeling it was about time to go find his wife.

"Change course to the Peacock Garden and find the Director."

He also solemnly warned the two newly recruited followers, "When you see the Director from now on, be polite! No fierceness, no trouble—he's my wife."

Pipi, while trudging along with heavy steps, absentmindedly scratched his fluffy ears, "Boss... what is a wife?"

The Little White Lion stood on Tiger Valley's chest, puffed out his little chest, "It's the person I love most—I must protect him, listen to him, and make him happy."

Pipi pondered, Pipi wondered.

"But... but Boss, you're male, and the Director is also a male human."

In its simple understanding, this seems a bit off.

Jin Chen: "……"

He raised his paw and patted the tiger's head below him, "Tiger Valley, what do you think?"

Tiger Valley shook his big head, amber tiger eyes flashing with light, and declared firmly, "Males can too! No problem! Beautiful foxes are also male!"

Jin Chen was satisfied with Tiger Valley's awakening.

But for the zoo's future sustainable development, just in case his wife one day gets a wild idea and hopes Pipi will marry into another zoo's brown bears to have offspring…

Xiao Bai Lion turned his head and stared solemnly at Pi Pi: "You can abide by the bottom line."

Pi Pi: "Heard! Pi Pi obeys! The person the boss likes, Pi Pi also likes!"

……

Outside the Peacock Garden.

Bai Rendong just arranged for twenty newly arrived peacocks to move in, saw off the Forestry Bureau staff who came to inspect the environment, and walked back with the Peacock Garden's keeper Xiao Luo.

Suddenly, Xiao Luo pointed ahead and exclaimed in surprise, "Director, look, it's Hu Gu and Pi Pi! Pi Pi looks much more energetic and can even run."

It must be said, Pi Pi's previously listless appearance had worried all the keepers to death.

Bai Rendong looked in that direction, but first saw a small white clump steadily standing on the tiger's head.

He couldn't help but curl the corner of his mouth, quickly walking over.

Xiao Luo hurriedly reminded, "Director, be careful! The tiger and bear……"

Before he finished speaking, they saw the majestic Northeast Tiger Hu Gu, as Bai Rendong approached, it consciously lowered its massive body, its big tail swaying like a big cat, flatteringly, making a completely harmless pose.

Beside, the brown bear Pi Pi also imitated, sitting down on its haunches, raising its bear paw and patting its round belly, showing friendliness and submission.

This is the boss's wife; must not be fierce, need to win favor.

Xiao Bai Lion saw Bai Rendong, immediately extended its front paw, making a gesture to be hugged, and let out an anticipatory gurgling sound from its throat.

Bai Rendong extended his hand, but Jin Chen smelled the unique peacock scent on Bai Rendong's body.

He immediately retracted his paw in disdain, even stepping on Hu Gu's head, turned his head, refusing to be hugged.

Bai Rendong's outstretched hand halted in midair.

He saw the little lion's obvious resisting action, his heart suddenly emptied, feeling somewhat at a loss, he crouched down, "What's wrong, Bao Bao? Won't you let me hug you?"

He somewhat dejectedly discovered that in just two days, he could no longer accept this little guy's aloofness and refusal.

Jin Chen raised a front paw, covered his nose, looked accusatorily at Bai Rendong, and let out a low growl, "Roar……"

"Smelly."

Bai Rendong froze for a moment, then suddenly realized.

He took off the work vest stained with many peacock feathers and smell, set it aside, and softened his tone: "Okay, okay, I just hugged a little peacock, maybe I got the scent on me? Can I hug now?"

Only then did Xiao Bai Lion approach cautiously, sniff again, and confirm that the strong bird smell had faded considerably.

Then he let out a satisfied whimper, pushed off with his hind legs and lunged into Bai Rendong's warm embrace, his little head rubbing hard against Bai Rendong's neck, ears perked happily, even when Bai Rendong pinched his pink paw pads, he didn't struggle.

Bai Rendong's heart melted, he couldn't help but lower his head to kiss the fluffy head, "Bao Bao, please don't refuse my hugs, okay? I'll be very sad."

Xiao Bai Lion comfortably adjusted its posture in Bai Rendong's embrace, throat emitting gurgling sounds, then raised its paw and gently touched Bai Rendong's cheek with its soft pad.

"Alright."

Bai Rendong froze slightly, his arms holding the little lion tightened a bit.

He seemed…… seemed to really understand this little guy's response?

Bai Rendong looked astonished at the little white lion in his arms, "Bao Bao, you just…… were you speaking to me?"

Xiao Bai Lion raised its paw, the soft pad lightly pressing on Bai Rendong's lips, stopping him from continuing to ask.

"Roar!"

At the same time, a clear youthful voice transmitted into Bai Rendong's mind, "This is a secret, don't tell other humans."

Now Bai Rendong was truly certain.

He could communicate with the little lion in his arms in an extraordinary way; after the shock came an inexplicable sense of acceptance.

Bai Rendong suppressed the turmoil in his heart, re-secured the little lion in his embrace, cheek against its warm soft fur, and whispered a promise: "Okay, this is our secret."

No matter what it is, by his side it is safe.
