Yue Chenghuaâs eyes spun around panickedly, only to see a snow leopard quietly approaching behind Wei Xun. How could there be a snow leopard here! His eyes widened in horror and his body trembled with fear. He wanted to avoid the snow leopard, but he was completely unable to move. Move, move, move, am I going to be killed by a snow leopard just after I escaped from the fishâs mouth?!
However, the snow leopard approached Wei Xun first, obviously targeting Wei Xun as its prey. It was behind Wei Xun, yet Wei Xun did not seem to notice it approaching! In a panic, Yue Chenghua had a wicked thought in his heart. Let the snow leopard kill Wei Xun. If it wants to eat, it can eat Wei Xun, donât come and eat me! Snow leopards usually did not kill indiscriminately, and they would only catch enough prey to fill their stomachs. After that, they would leave.
âUgh!â
Damn, why was the chest pain assaulting him again. Was it because he was too far away from IV-1? Yue Chenghua hunched his body in pain, panting rapidly, and his pupils dilated slightly due to the severe painââNo, something isnât right!
The two times he experienced chest pain seemed to occur when he thought of Wei Xun!
âXiaoxue, this is for you.â
Yue Chenghua was covered in cold sweat and looked up in panic, only to see that, not only did the snow leopard not attack Wei Xun as he had thought it would, but it was rather intimate, staying by Wei Xunâs side. It grabbed the leg of sheep that Wei Xun handed to it!
The Xiaoxue Wei Xun mentioned is a snow leopard?? When did Wei Xun cozy up to a snow leopard, and why didnât anyone find out!
âRoarâââ
The extremely intimidating low roar of the snow leopard made Yue Chenghua tremble. In a flurry, he found that the snow leopardâs vicious gaze was fixed on him. The huge, terrifying beastâs teeth were still stained with traces of blood, and it bared its fangs at Yue Chenghua.
âEat this sheep.â
Yue Chenghuaâs heart was beating as loud as a drum. In a state of extreme panic, he saw Wei Xun pat the belly of the snow leopard with a smile in his eyes. Wei Xun then glanced at Yue Chenghua, but this glance made Yue Chenghua feel as though he had descended into an icy cave. A terrifying thought emerged in his heart, and this thought made him weak and completely paralyzed.
âRoar.â
The snow leopard roared, as if warning Yue Chenghua. After that, it grabbed the leg of sheep that Wei Xun was feeding him and tore off a piece of tender mutton from the blue sheep. However, instead of eating it, it stepped on Wei Xunâs leg with its big claws, and leaned forward to try to feed the mutton to Wei Xun.
The snow leopard used so much strength that Wei Xun could only push it with one hand to express refusal and lean back to avoid it.
âNo, you eat. I donât eat that,â Wei Xun even joked casually, âIf I eat it, I have to go to jail.â
The blue sheep caught by the snow leopard had tanned fur, short ears, and a body that looked like a sheep, but its horns were as thick as cow horns, and their horns did not spiral. Blue sheep had been captured in many wildlife snow leopard hunting videos.
Blue sheep meat was delicious and had no fishy smell. It was very active on high mountains and cliffs throughout the year, and its meat was lean. The blue sheep brought by the snow leopard was extremely fresh, as if it had just died not long ago. When Wei Xun cut open the sheepskin, the sheep seemed to be still vibrating with life, and it looked like the best cut of mutton.
However, the blue sheep was a national second-class protected wild animal.
Snow leopards could eat it. But there was no way a human could eat it.
If humans ate it, it would only take minutes before they would receive a pair of metal handcuffs and a free stay in the countryâs âallocatedâ lodging.
Wei Xun refused to eat it with a firm attitude, despite the snow leopard trying to feed him several times. The snow leopard, who was repeatedly rejected, understood what Wei Xun meant, and simply swallowed the mutton. Then it turned around, and moments later, it came back with a big fish as thick as an armâs length carried in its mouth.
When Wei Xun had been cutting the blue sheep just now, the snow leopard had turned around and gone down to the lake again. Knowing that it could swim, Wei Xun was not too worried. Who knew that it had been catching fish?
Wasnât a blue sheep enough food for the snow leopard?
But seeing the snow leopard biting the fish and not eating it, making a feeding gesture again, and persistently moving it towards his mouth, Wei Xun suddenly thought of something strange.
Could it be that the snow leopard thought he didnât like to eat snakes, so it caught the blue sheep and then misunderstood the scene where he was fighting with the strange fish, thinking that he was hunting and that he liked eating fish?
Would a snow leopard think so much? In the harsh wilderness, would a snow leopard care whether its cub was picky or not?
But it was undeniable that Wei Xun was indeed moved. He hadnât given the snow leopard a name at first, but now he affectionately called it Xiaoxue. Wei Xun had the bold idea of raising a snow leopard, but this idea was even more extreme than eating blue sheep.
Moreover, snow leopards were accustomed to living in the highlands and were free by nature. How could he imprison the snow leopard by his side, not to mention that even if he did bring the snow leopard home, who would feed it when he entered a tour? It couldnât be that he had to ask You Ziming to help feed it, right?
Seeing that Wei Xun rejected the fish it had tried to feed him, the snow leopard grew irritated and started digging the ground. It turned around in front of him, growling from time to time, before finally laying down in front of Wei Xun with two big claws on his legs. Its scarlet pupils stared at him quietly and intently, as if silently asking him what he wanted to eat.
Wei Xun didnât know if it was because of the darkness, but the violent emotions in the snow leopardâs scarlet eyes seemed to be less intense than the emotions in its eyes when they first met.
The snow leopard was really good, but unfortunately, Wei Xun couldnât take it out of the tour.
In a rare moment of dejection, Wei Xun stroked the luxurious and beautiful fur of the snow leopard and cut a leg of lamb for it. Wei Xun looked at the snow leopardâs eyes with an expression that was as gentle as a spring breeze. On the other hand, when Wei Xun looked at Yue Chenghua, the look in his eyes was as chilling and indifferent as the autumn wind.
As if Yue Chenghua was already dead in his eyes.
The first time that Yue Chenghua thought âWei Xun should die,â he was a dead man in Wei Xunâs heart.
There were always a lot of villains in this world. Usually, if you saved someoneâs life and you were kind to them, they would be grateful to you and repay you. These villains would never be grateful to you, and they would bear resentment in their hearts. Why didnât you come to save me sooner? Did you do it on purpose? Your gracious face really makes me sick! The kinder you were, the more they would oppress you.
But for Wei Xun, the problem was simple to resolve.
Why be angry with such a person?
I saved you, but you still want to kill me?
Then go to hell.
However, trash like him could still be used. When Yue Chenghua had been in a coma, Wei Xun had let the golden mosquito suck his blood. Yue Chenghua was weaker than IV-1 and easier to control. At the same time, Wei Xun had been keeping an eye on IV-1âs movements.
As Xu Yang had expected, IV-1 had gone to South Village through a secret passageway that night, and he had found some clues. The missing livestock that had caused disputes between the two sides of South Village and North Village was not a case of simple theft of cattle and sheep. IV-1 had found several large-scale animal bone piles in the dark passageway, and at the top of each animal bone pile was a sheepâs head that had been skinned and dried.
It was more like some kind of sacrifice.
Yue Chenghua might be able to âpointâ IV-1 in the ârightâ direction.
Wei Xun smiled, stroked the fluffy head of the snow leopard, and lowered his gaze down to look at Yue Chenghua. That look made Yue Chenghuaâs scalp tingle. He desperately wanted to say something, to beg or threaten Wei Xun, but no matter what he did, he couldnât say it. He regretted it, he regretted it infinitely, and he finally realized that he might have misjudged Wei Xunâs character.
But there wasnât medicine for regret.
âCome, letâs go back,â Wei Xun kindly said.
Then he stuffed the strong flashlight contaminated with fishy sewage to Yue Chenghua. âWhat happened tonight is our secret. Donât tell Guide IV, okay?â
Tonight, Wei Xun and IV-1 were very satisfied. After Wei Xun went back, he found the descendant of the eagle flutist, told him what had happened tonight, and took out a bone with a pattern on it.
âYou saw the Dragon God tonight?!â
The descendant of the eagle flutistâs eyes widened. The whites of his eyes were yellowish and bloodshot, and he looked a little scary.
âI simply went out to save my companion.â
Wei Xun shook his head in a daze. âI donât know why he went to the lake. I followed along and found that he seemed to be drowning himself. I rushed to save him, and at this moment, I heard the sound of waves traveling from the lake. I was afraid there was a monster in the lake, so I took a flashlight and fled with my companion back here.
âThis bone was held in his hand, with scriptures engraved on it, and he gave it to me as a thank you gift for my life-saving grace.â
âThat was not a monster, it was the great and majestic Underworld Dragon God, the Lord of Gelekala, the master of the earth and death.â
The descendant of the eagle flutist prattled a whole bunch of facts. At this time, he stared at Wei Xun. âYou saw the Dragon God. The Dragon God chose youââdid you obtain anything else?â
âNo.â
The honest Wei Xun shook his head and said embarrassedly, âIâm just a newcomer in our tour group. The most powerful one is our tour guide.â
The descendant of the eagle flutist nodded thoughtfully.
