Chapter 83: I Like Her, She’s Mine
CRASH!!
Their vehicle was lifted straight up by several wildebeests.
"B-Boss..." The fatty was scared stiff.
The man in the passenger seat gripped the car frame tightly. "Don’t call me boss! You’re the boss! You’re my grandpa!"
Yu Xiaowei, caught in the middle: ...
’You’re all my ancestors!’
’What have I done to deserve this?’
The car was carried off by a herd of wildebeests.
They had been carjacked...
...
「Back to the present.」
Gu Zhao stared for a long time but couldn’t figure anything out.
The viewers also started guessing, and their theories grew increasingly bizarre.
[Did the car time travel?! I’ve read novels like that! Maybe they’ll suddenly reappear decades later!]
[Maybe they ran into a man-eating swamp that swallowed them whole.]
[That’s crazy. I think they might have hit a ghost wall! They’ve been pulled into another dimension.]
[All of these are wild. Maybe they ran into aliens and were abducted.]
Gu Zhao didn’t have a single clue. She was even starting to think the car had time-traveled.
No one could have imagined that a group of animals could package up a car, people and all, and just take it away.
The two Hast Eagles flew into the sky to investigate. After a while, they returned to report, "Honey~ There are tracks not far from here. It looks like a large animal migration."
Hua Baozi thought for a moment. "A lot of animals have been leaving recently."
Gu Zhao didn’t pay it much mind. She looked out at the vast savanna but couldn’t spot a single animal.
"Where did all the animals in this area go?" Gu Zhao was puzzled.
The two Hast Eagle brothers hadn’t been with Gu Zhao as long, so the two eagles and the one human all looked at Hua Baozi.
Hua Baozi pondered this. "It seems no animals live here. I’ve heard other animals say there are monsters in this area. Aside from passing through during migration, no one likes to come here."
"Monsters?" Gu Zhao said aloud, shocked. ’What kind of world did I transmigrate into?’
’How are there even monsters?!’
’Didn’t I transmigrate into a "pampered favorite" novel? Why are there monsters?’
"You animals spread rumors, too?" Gu Zhao asked, looking stunned.
The viewers were shocked to hear her words as well.
[Monsters??!! What do they look like! Did the animals say that?! Oh my god! This world has finally gone crazy.]
[My imagination is already running wild! Are they cute, fluffy monsters, or are they a fanged and clawed final boss? Let me see, let me see!]
[Zhaozhao! Please! You have to save our Xiaowei! She’s such a poor, unlucky soul!]
Hua Baozi didn’t know anything. It had never been to this area, much less seen any monsters.
With no animals to question, Gu Zhao had no choice but to get back on the leopard and follow the tracks on the ground.
The leopard ran without rest for who knows how long before they finally spotted a herd of animals.
It was a migrating herd of wildebeests.
The leopard let out a roar. It was unclear what it said, but the wildebeests started calling out too, the sound passing from one to the next until the entire herd came to a halt.
The wildebeests at the very front also stopped.
The vehicle balanced on their heads was particularly conspicuous.
Inside the car, Feng Jiexu, in the passenger seat, froze. Sensing the wildebeests had stopped, he peered out the window.
All the wildebeests were calling out in the same direction.
Feng Jiexu looked over but couldn’t see anything.
Nevertheless, the image of a certain little shorty unconsciously popped into his mind.
The fatty in the driver’s seat cautiously raised his head. "Boss, why did they stop?"
Feng Jiexu ignored him, the corners of his mouth lifting into a smirk, but his eyes held only killing intent.
’I have to find a chance to get rid of him!’
Yu Xiaowei’s head was spinning. Pinned beneath the car seat, she had lost the will to live.
Feeling the excitement in the animals’ calls, Yu Xiaowei’s thoughts turned to Gu Zhao.
Besides Gu Zhao, she couldn’t think of anyone else who could be so insanely beloved by animals.
The subject of her thoughts, Gu Zhao, was currently questioning the wildebeests. "Have you seen a running metal box? Or have you seen a girl?"
The leopard translated for the animals at the back, while the two eagles flew up to translate for those in the middle and at the front.
"Me, me, me! I know about a green box!"
"The green box is on the heads of the wildebeests at the front."
Gu Zhao grew excited the moment she heard the translation and rode Hua Baozi to the very front.
Sure enough, several wildebeests were balancing a vehicle on their heads.
"Sweet Xiangxiang~" The wildebeests carrying the vehicle wanted to nuzzle Gu Zhao, but the thing on their horns was so inconvenient!
After a brief consultation, the wildebeests tossed their heads on the count of three.
And sent the car flying.
The car: ...
Having gotten their wish, the wildebeests lowered their heads and nuzzled Gu Zhao.
Gu Zhao patted their heads in return.
One of the wildebeests complained, "That big thing rammed me for no reason!"
Gu Zhao’s thoughts turned to poaching. ’Did I run into it again??’
Just then, the car door was kicked open. A long leg emerged, followed by a familiar person climbing out.
"It’s you!" Gu Zhao exclaimed, staring at the man with the crew cut.
’The poacher boss from last time!’
"Hey, we must be fated to meet. We meet again, little shorty," Feng Jiexu said, a smirk playing on his lips.
Gu Zhao got angry just looking at him. Last time, she’d gotten covered in the stench of dung just to drive them away!!
The moment he appeared, the live stream comments went wild!
[Wow! That guy is so hot!!]
[Hot my ass!! I remember him! He’s the leader of the poachers from last time! How was he not arrested??]
[Holy crap! How dare a poacher show his face again? What does he want with Gu Zhao?!]
[To the thirsty people up there, snap out of it! This guy is a criminal! Can you eat his good looks? Can his face hide the fact that he hurts animals?]
[He even dares to tease Gu Zhao? The nerve! Was he not caught last time because he has connections?]
[Ahhh, his smile is so charming! As for the poaching... maybe there was some kind of misunderstanding?]
[Who cares if he’s a poacher, I’d lick that face any day! Gu Zhao, don’t be so mean to him. A handsome man like that should be treated gently~]
[Sob sob sob, the way he calls her ’little shorty’ is so doting! I want to have his babies!]
Gu Zhao looked at Feng Jiexu, her eyes filled with disgust. "We’re not fated! All I have for you is a big pile of dung, want some?"
Feng Jiexu’s smile didn’t falter, completely unaffected by her words. "Your brothers actually dared to let you out? They’re really something."
Gu Zhao got annoyed just looking at him. ’Why do bad guys get to have long legs and a handsome face!’
’Those should be mine. It would only be right if I had them.’
Just then, another person, a fatty, crawled out of the car, his face beaming with the joy of rebirth.
He scrambled out without a single thought for Yu Xiaowei, who was still inside the car. He immediately scurried over to Feng Jiexu’s side, fawning over him, terrified that his boss would leave him behind.
"Have you seen a girl?" Gu Zhao asked Feng Jiexu irritably.
Before Feng Jiexu could speak, the fatty spoke up. "Where did this little brat come from?"
Feng Jiexu: "I like her. She’s mine now. You got a problem with that?"
Hearing this, the fatty’s face split into a greasy smile. "It’s her good fortune to be noticed by the boss."
’So the boss isn’t into women because he’s into kids!’
’Oho, what a player!’
Just as Gu Zhao was about to lose her temper, she heard Feng Jiexu say, "There’s a girl in the car. Not sure if she’s the one you’re looking for."
Gu Zhao shot him a glare and quickly had a few wildebeests help right the car.
Yu Xiaowei had thought she was going to die, but the next second, the car door opened, and Gu Zhao appeared.
"Are you okay?" Gu Zhao asked as she carefully untied the ropes on her legs, then helped Yu Xiaowei out.
"Zhaozhao..." Yu Xiaowei’s voice was choked with emotion, her eyes red.
Gu Zhao saw that Yu Xiaowei’s forehead was cut and bleeding. "You’re hurt."
Feng Jiexu, who had been contemplating how to kill the damned fatty, suddenly heard Gu Zhao’s words. His pupils contracted as he whipped his head around to look.
"Quick! Cover the wound! Don’t let the smell of blood spread!"
