Goo goo!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wu wu! Wu wu!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That sounds familiar!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing the sound behind him, Xiao Yi muttered and set down the dry wood he was holding, then began searching.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Today, Xiao Yi had only fished for half a day and caught two fish before returning to camp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mainly because he wanted to gather more dry wood before the second heavy snow arrived; he had food, so firewood had to be stocked too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who knew when the snow might come again? By then, finding dry wood would be much harder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So whenever he passed by and saw dead trees nearby, Xiao Yi didn’t hesitate—he cut them all down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But while collecting the dead wood, he suddenly heard a sound that felt familiar, prompting him to look around and search.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moss around him had turned dry and yellow; a large area appeared bare and barren.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jagged rocks jutted out, branches stood upright—it wasn’t hard to search through.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, Xiao Yi saw a cat leap from behind a strange rock and sprint straight toward him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Huh! Is this a lynx?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the cat drew closer, Xiao Yi took a closer look and realized it was a young lynx.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But shortly after, three Arctic squirrels suddenly appeared behind the little lynx, as if chasing it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet when the three squirrels spotted Xiao Yi standing there, they instantly fluffed up in fright and fled like lightning up the trees.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This man—they remembered him too well. He wasn’t a good person.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Zhi! Zhi!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The three Arctic squirrels’ cries grew urgent, as if calling to the lynx, telling it to come back quickly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh! What a coincidence!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Xiao Yi saw that one of the three Arctic squirrels perched on the branches was Huang Mao, he felt their connection was truly deep.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They met again today!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He remembered vividly the squirrel that had once brought him nuts—this old buddy, Xiao Yi would remember forever.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially those “gifted” pine nuts—he’d already processed and tasted them all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though they weren’t as fragrant as those sold in markets, eating a few each day helped him vary his diet nicely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These past two days, while studying for his postgraduate exam at night, he hadn’t eaten much else.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But honestly, the pine nuts these three squirrels had given him were plentiful enough to make Xiao Yi feel a bit guilty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps when he left this wilderness, some pine nuts would still remain in his cabin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But this little lynx… damn, why does it look so familiar?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No way—it can’t be the child of the two big ones I killed!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Xiao Yi was silently guessing, the little lynx had already reached his leg and started rubbing against it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the spot it rubbed… was exactly where Xiao Yi had made his leg guards from lynx hide.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, the little lynx kept emitting soft “wu wu” sounds of affection.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Holy shit…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Xiao Yi couldn’t help but curse aloud.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What kind of divine fate is this?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You kill the parent and send the kid? But this kid doesn’t look like it has much meat!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clearly, the little lynx had smelled the scent of lynx hide and come running.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What Xiao Yi hadn’t expected was that this little lynx had actually survived.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Certain behaviors of the male lynx before its death had made Xiao Yi suspect something—he hadn’t imagined it was true.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But it seemed this little lynx had gotten along with the three aggressive Arctic squirrels.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And from the squirrels’ constant calls, it was clear they genuinely cared for the little lynx.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was this some kind of cross-species paternal love? It moved Xiao Yi a little.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So this time, Xiao Yi wouldn’t think about taking the squirrels’ pine nuts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sigh! Another food source lost—being a good person is hard!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then Xiao Yi bent down, picked up the little creature, and examined it closely—it did look similar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But as soon as Xiao Yi picked it up, the little lynx immediately bared its teeth and struggled fiercely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet… this look was kind of cute.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What to do?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What to do?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Zhi zhi! Zhi zhi!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Xiao Yi’s actions, the three squirrels grew frantic again, hissing threats at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Thud!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Annoyed by the three creatures, Xiao Yi picked up a stone and threw it at them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After that…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The stone flew past Huang Mao’s ear, freezing it in place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Naturally, Xiao Yi had deliberately aimed the throw slightly off—otherwise, Huang Mao might have been a dead squirrel by now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He, Xiao Yi, was a good person—he wouldn’t harm animals that had brought him gifts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After this, the three squirrels fell silent but didn’t leave—they just watched Xiao Yi from afar, their eyes filled with anxiety.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet when Xiao Yi threw the stone, the little lynx snarled fiercely, lunging to bite him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So fierce, so cute! Xiao Yi felt genuinely scared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But of course, it was still just a baby—it was hard for it to actually reach Xiao Yi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Yi also gave the little thing a light tap on the head, and then…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The little thing promptly burst into tears.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Honestly, Xiao Yi had never seen a lynx cry before—it was kind of interesting, and the little thing looked even cuter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the moment the little lynx and the three Arctic squirrels appeared, Xiao Yi’s livestream exploded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Holy shit, holy shit, what is this? So cute!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Little cutie, run away! This guy’s a demon king!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh! Isn’t this the Arctic squirrel that got bullied by Xiao Shen twice? Why’s it showing up again?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Haha, the things people do, Xiao Shen hasn’t done one. The things people don’t do, Xiao Shen did them all.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I checked—it’s not a wildcat, looks like a lynx!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Not just looks—it’s definitely a lynx. Look at how it’s rubbing against the lynx hide! Holy shit, isn’t this the kid of the two lynxes Xiao Shen killed?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Isn’t that even more dangerous? Xiao Shen, don’t hurt it, or you’ll be blacklisted for life!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Xiao Shen, let go! If you’ve got guts, come after me! Leave the little cutie alone!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Didn’t realize lynxes look just like my cat as babies. Maybe I should raise one!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So fierce, so cute! Absolutely adorable!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Fanxing Sihuo gifted Xiao Yi ten exclusive gifts: Mirror of the Green Phoenix. At the invitation of my sister Yeyu Tingfeng, I’m watching over Xiao Shen’s livestream. I really like this little lynx—it’s so cute! Xiao Shen, please be gentle!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wozixiaoyao gifted Xiao Yi ten Dark Castle gifts. Xiao Shen, bring it back! My girlfriend loves it—I’ll buy it!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Qieyi gifted Xiao Yi ten Dragon Totem gifts. Just keep it! It won’t eat much!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Woshimengmeng gifted Xiao Yi ten Dark Castle gifts! So cute! Xiao Shen, please take it in!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Chunxin Mo Gong Hua gifted Xiao Shen ten Dark Castle gifts. For Xiao Shen’s cat food money.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Naturally, women had no resistance to cute little creatures, and men had no resistance to women who showed sympathy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment the little creature appeared, Xiao Yi’s livestream was flooded by female viewers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, numerous female patrons flooded the chat, generously begging Xiao Yi to spare it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Xiao Yi didn’t know what was happening in his livestream—if he had, he’d surely sigh, “Better to be reborn as a cat.”\u003C\u002Fp>",1210,"2026-06-20T08:19:46.963Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","af2c453243fb961715a31362123a12fce831bdcbc5c038d22dc3d1911a5cbd37","starting-from-a-solitary-life-in-the-wilds-chapter-109","starting-from-a-solitary-life-in-the-wilds-chapter-107",366,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fstarting-from-a-solitary-life-in-the-wilds-cover.jpg"]
