Chapter 82: Got Robbed...
The sky was already completely bright. Gu Zhao sat on the elephant’s back, yawning.
The drone led the way up ahead.
Several elephants ran behind it. Though they were "running," it wasn’t all that fast. They scurried along anxiously, their tails stick-straight, only to be mocked by the leopard.
The leopard would sprint ahead and then run back, zipping back and forth.
Song Yi fidgeted on the elephant’s back. An elephant’s back was not comfortable at all! His poor butt was starting to die.
He wasn’t the only one; the others were also squirming around.
Song Zhe even felt that running himself would be more comfortable than riding an elephant...
’Of course, that’s just a thought. Only a fool would actually run.’
"Xiangxiang~ Ride me! I’m more comfortable than this thing~" Hua Baozi said, easily keeping pace with the elephant as it trotted alongside, looking up at Gu Zhao.
It was banking on the elephant not understanding Chinese, brazenly trying to poach a customer.
Gu Zhao was definitely tempted to switch, but only Hua Baozi was following alongside. She could switch, but the others couldn’t.
After hesitating for a tenth of a second, Gu Zhao nodded decisively.
Hua Baozi was ecstatic! ’As expected, I’m Xiangxiang’s favorite mount!’
’So what if I’m not a translator?’
The two eagles followed in mid-air, a little indignant. "Why not ride us!"
Hua Baozi glanced up. "With those scrawny bodies of yours? What if you drop my precious?"
The Little Eagle, unconvinced, flew down and started pecking at Hua Baozi.
Hua Baozi immediately started whimpering and looked toward Gu Zhao.
Gu Zhao: ...
She suddenly felt like she was watching two imperial concubines vying for favor...
’Is this the joy of being an emperor?!’
"Ahem, we are all sisters here. We should get along harmoniously." Gu Zhao cleared her throat, her tone gentle, but she could barely suppress the grin on her face.
The Little Eagle said, "But I’m male."
Hua Baozi also glanced down at its own crotch—yep, nothing wrong there. "Xiangxiang, I’m not like him. I would never question you. If you say we’re sisters, we’re sisters! I’ll cut it off!"
Gu Zhao: ??!!!
Little Eagle: !!
Big Eagle: !! ’This is one ruthless leopard!’
"That’s really not necessary!" Gu Zhao jumped in fright, almost gaining a leopard sister. "First, translate for the elephant. I’m switching my ride."
She chose to change the subject, saving her own butt while also saving the leopard’s future happiness.
The elephant reluctantly stopped and gently lowered Gu Zhao to the ground with its trunk, its eyes looking at her with a wronged expression.
Gu Zhao once again felt like such a heartbreaker.
’But, my butt comes first.’
Gu Xulin and the others watched Gu Zhao with envy. They wanted to switch rides, too!
Gu Zhao climbed onto the leopard’s back, and the excited animal took off at a full sprint.
Gu Zhao patted the leopard, and it ran back again.
"Brother, I’m going to follow the drone ahead," Gu Zhao said to Gu Xulin.
Gu Xulin: "No way! What will I do if something happens to you!"
"Bro, your worry is in the same category as me winning a ten-billion-dollar lottery. The probability is zero."
"As long as there are animals around, I am the Big King!"
Zhong Mingrui and Song Yi, the two hype men, immediately played along. "Long live the Big King!"
The leopard also let out a roar, and the elephants, seeing this, trumpeted as well.
The two Haast’s Eagles shrieked in response, then flew to flank Gu Zhao on her left and right.
Like left and right honor guards.
Gu Zhao shot Gu Xulin a smug look, lifting her chin. ’See this? My empire!’
Gu Xulin was still worried, but Gu Zhao had already ordered the leopard to run, and her drone immediately gave chase.
"You brat!" Gu Xulin was speechless.
"We wish the Big King a triumphant return!!!" Zhong Mingrui and Song Yi shouted.
Zhong Siqi covered his face. ’This is too embarrassing to watch.’
Song Zhe was fitting in more and more with the younger crowd; he even had the urge to shout along with them.
But in the next second...
THUD. His head slammed into the back of the elephant, which had suddenly braked.
And then, a glob of bird poop landed on his face...
"Big King! Take me with you!!" Song Zhe reached out for the person who was already a disappearing speck in the distance.
Song Yi was already used to it. Facing the concerned gazes of the others, he explained calmly, "My brother is a jinx. Only the Big King can suppress his bad luck. I suggest everyone stay a little further away from my brother for now."
The moment he finished speaking, the elephant carrying Song Zhe stepped in a pile of dung.
...
"Are we there yet?" Gu Zhao asked, hugging Hua Baozi’s neck and looking up at the drone.
The director’s voice came from the drone, "Almost. It’s just up ahead. This is the last location transmitted by Yu Xiaowei’s follow-cam drone."
Hearing the response, Gu Zhao urged Hua Baozi to run faster, and soon they arrived at the location.
Gu Zhao dismounted from Hua Baozi. The first thing she saw were tire tracks.
And a damaged drone.
[Could Yu Xiaowei have been kidnapped, too...]
[Thank you, Zhaozhao, for helping find my Weiwei! I was in Weiwei’s stream. The screen just suddenly went black. I didn’t hear anything, definitely no car sounds.]
[+1 from a Wei Fen. Weiwei was in the middle of catching a rabbit with a lame leg when the screen suddenly went black.]
Gu Zhao got off the leopard and squatted down by the tire tracks to take a look.
"Xiangxiang looks so captivating when she’s serious~" the Little Eagle whispered to the Big Eagle, slacking off.
The Big Eagle nodded. ’Indeed, very captivating.’
"Can you tell something from the tracks?" Hua Baozi asked, confused.
Gu Zhao: "I can’t tell anything. My legs just fell asleep, so I’m squatting for a bit."
The two eagles: ...
’Still captivating.’
"Let’s follow the tracks," Gu Zhao said, getting back on the leopard’s back.
The leopard immediately started following the tracks, but after about half an hour, they suddenly vanished, leaving only a mess of random animal footprints.
The Little Eagle stood by the last tire track, tilting its head. "Can it fly, too?"
The Big Eagle whacked it with a wing. "Stupid, have you ever seen a flying car?"
"Where could it have gone? Did it burrow into the ground and flee, or was it hijacked?"
Two eagles, one leopard, one person, and one drone were all perplexed.
A perfectly good car...
Where did it go?
「One hour earlier.」
A car drove steadily across the grassland.
Yu Xiaowei lay in the back seat, completely numb.
The fatass driving had taken a liking to her during the trip! He was dead set on marrying her!
’Can’t he take a good look at himself?!’
Yu Xiaowei didn’t want to live anymore! ’I’d rather explode than submit to him!!’
"Boss! There’s a wildebeest over there!" the fat driver exclaimed excitedly.
The buzz-cut man in the passenger seat was speechless. "You think you can take it?"
The fat man, already thinking with his dick, felt he was invincible. If he could just kill this wildebeest for the boss, the beauty would be his!
"Boss! You remember what you promised me!" the fat man said, ecstatic.
The man in the passenger seat’s face darkened. Noticing the fat man’s actions, he quickly tightened his seatbelt.
"You motherfucker!!"
The fat man floored the accelerator and rammed straight into it.
The wildebeest was grazing when it saw the giant object charging at it and let out a cry.
The car and the wildebeest collided.
The fat man’s eyes were full of excitement, without a trace of fear. "Hehehe!"
Yu Xiaowei, who was thrown from the seat to the floor, cursed out loud, "Dumbass moron! You fat pig!"
The man in the passenger seat joined her, "You brainless son of a bitch!"
He tried to grab the steering wheel with one hand to change direction, only to see a cloud of dust suddenly rise in the distance.
"Dust my ass! It’s a wildebeest stampede!" the man in the passenger seat laughed in exasperation.
’My life is forfeit!’
’If I get another chance! I’d rather die than go out with a fucking idiot!!’
