Chapter 95: The Two Slobs
Everyone fell silent.
The key thing was, that wasn’t all. She’d pulled the lion’s whiskers, bitten the leopard’s chin...
Thankfully, they were a lion and a leopard. If it had been a cat, it would have bitten her right back.
After a single babysitting session, the three humans and two animals were all thoroughly depressed.
They had endured what they shouldn’t have at their age.
[Lion: I picked up a walking karmic retribution...]
[So animals get depressed from babysitting too. When my kid cries, I want to stuff him back in my belly, but when he laughs, I think he’s adorable. This mom’s sanity is doing the cha-cha on the brink of a mental breakdown.]
[Leopard: The painful chin I can handle, but my dignity was just ground into the dirt!]
[Recommendation: Find a therapist for the animals. Patient’s chief complaint: "Comprehensive humiliation by a four-year-old human cub."]
Gu Xulin rubbed Gu Zhao’s head. "You’ve worked hard."
Gu Zhao’s eyes were lifeless. "It wasn’t hard work, it was a hard life."
’This damned decency!’ she thought. ’If only I had no class at all, I could have just bitten them back.’
The moment the leopard heard they were sending the little girl away, it leaped up in excitement, spun in a circle, then quickly ran off to summon a few fast-running beasts.
Its tail was wagging so hard it was practically a fan, threatening to give everyone a cold.
The lion was even more thrilled. "Quick, quick! I’ll lead the way!!"
The little girl couldn’t understand them and thought they were going to play some more, so she was excited too.
Gu Xulin and the others climbed onto the backs of the nearest animals.
Song Jina and Zhou Lan wanted to follow, but the leopard didn’t consider them part of its crew and, naturally, didn’t call any animals for them.
Watching them ride away on animals one by one, Song Jina stomped her foot in anger. "I’ll make them regret this!"
Zhou Lan sighed. She began to wonder if her decision to join this variety show had been the right one.
She hadn’t had a single moment in the spotlight; instead, she was constantly just a backdrop for others.
The two of them were lost in their own separate thoughts.
A crocodile that had stealthily crept up was dumbfounded.
’Where was Xiangxiang?!’
’It took me so much effort to sneak away from the other crocodiles and come up here all by myself!!’
’AAAAARGH, damn it! It’s all that stinking fish’s fault for telling me to be more reserved!!’
Just as the crocodile was about to crawl back to the water to fight, it spotted the two humans off to the side.
It opened its massive jaws and scurried back toward them. "Hello, hello!! Where did my dear Xiangxiang go? Do you know?"
Seeing this, Song Jina and Zhou Lan screamed and ran for their lives. "AAAAAAH! THE CROCODILE’S GOING TO EAT US!"
Crocodile: ???
’Forget it! Time to go back and fight!’
...
The lion ran excitedly at the front, not even getting angry at the little creature on its back who was still pulling out its fur!
Gu Xulin watched the lion fur blow into his face and fell silent. He had truly seen it all now...
’I wonder if the lion will go bald.’
Zhong Siqi was suddenly rather glad that he didn’t have a sister, only a younger brother.
A younger brother who could take a beating and didn’t hold a grudge.
Song Zhe felt the same way. He glanced at Song Yi several times, thinking he should be nicer to his younger brother from now on.
Soon, the group arrived at the spot where the lion had found the child.
The leopard was so desperate to get rid of the kid that the moment they arrived, it started asking the nearby animals for information without even waiting for Gu Zhao’s command.
The smile on the lion’s face never once faltered.
After asking around for a bit, they actually found them.
Gu Zhao and her group rode their animals to the base of a tree, where many men in black were searching for something.
Under the tree was a beautiful blonde woman with an anxious expression.
"Mama!" Elsa shouted.
’Gu Zhao understood that word.’
The blonde woman heard it too. The moment she saw Elsa, tears streamed down her face. Unafraid of the animals, she ran straight over and hugged Elsa.
They chattered away in a flurry of words.
Gu Zhao couldn’t understand any of it.
The lion and the leopard were already rolling on the ground in bliss.
Gu Xulin took the initiative to speak with them.
It’s unclear what was said, but soon, many bodyguards in black arrived, along with a little blond boy and a man who looked rich.
Gu Zhao looked at the man. ’His laugh sounds like a rich person’s laugh,’ she thought.
"Papa! Brother!" Elsa happily recounted her adventure.
The moment the lion and leopard heard the word "brother," they shot to their feet, glaring at the little boy with resentful, jealous eyes.
The little boy, Jasper, jumped in fright. The crucial part was that the two animals even went forward and started pawing at his pants.
Lion: ’Bigger than mine? I’ll be the judge of that!’
The leopard also pawed resentfully: ’You can insult the lion! But you can’t insult me!’
Jasper stood frozen in place, not daring to move.
Kilian Worth and his wife, Sylvia Montrose, were also startled.
The couple looked pleadingly at Gu Xulin. Since these were the animals he’d brought, he should be able to handle them.
Gu Xulin and the others knew what the lion and leopard were up to, their expressions turning a bit complicated.
Gu Zhao called the two beasts away. Although they felt wronged, they still buried their heads against Gu Zhao.
Elsa excitedly explained to them, "I told them my brother’s balls are bigger than theirs!"
The Worths: ...
Jasper’s face turned red.
The Worths were thoroughly embarrassed.
They invited Gu Zhao and her group to stay and travel with them.
Gu Xulin hesitated for a few seconds. ’Is it a good idea to be so passive while filming a variety show?’
Hearing the Little Eagle on her head translate, Gu Zhao immediately broke into a wide grin and looked at Gu Xulin. "Say yes, say yes, say yes!!"
The leopard looked up and glared at the Little Eagle in the sky. ’Why didn’t it translate for me! Doesn’t it understand?!’
’I don’t want to stay here with that little psycho! And I don’t want to be separated from Xiangxiang!!’
Gu Xulin agreed.
In the end, the leopard, the lion, and the other animals fled in disarray from Elsa’s demonic clutches.
Gu Zhao lay on a crescent moon chair, enjoying life.
Zhong Mingrui and Song Yi were feeding her morsels of food.
’Now this is the life she was meant to live!’
...
Ye Zuiyi and Ye Zexi felt like their legs were about to break from walking. They were getting filthier and filthier, covered not only in dried mud but also a lot of animal droppings.
As they passed a few elephants, a baby elephant threw a glob of poop at them.
Ye Zexi finally couldn’t take it anymore. "Yibao! What on earth are you looking for?! Just tell me!"
Ye Zuiyi was at her breaking point too. ’Why can’t I find them?! And how am I supposed to explain this?!’
’Am I supposed to say I knew a rich man’s child would get lost here?!’
"Brother... trust me. I’m not doing this for nothing."
Faced with her aggrieved expression, Ye Zexi found it impossible to get angry. He took a deep breath.
In the gentlest tone he could manage, he said, "How about we rest for a little while, then?"
Ye Zuiyi was anxious, but seeing that Ye Zexi was already getting impatient, she nodded.
The two rested for a while before Ye Zuiyi started urging him on again.
Ye Zexi suppressed his temper and continued the search with her.
[What on earth are they doing? They’re the only ones in such a miserable state.]
[There wasn’t any danger originally, but if you walk around enough, you’ll find it.]
After walking for about another hour, Ye Zuiyi and Ye Zexi saw a large group of people under a tree up ahead, with several luxury cars parked nearby.
The moment Ye Zuiyi saw them, her face froze. She saw the man who had doted on her like his own child in her past life, and the little girl, Elsa, whom she had saved in that past life.
And Jasper, who had always helped her!
’But now they’re all gathered around Gu Zhao!!’
’Then what does that make me?!’
’What was the point of me walking all this way?!’
"Gu Zhao!" Ye Zuiyi could no longer stand the stark contrast in their fortunes and ran straight toward her.
Ye Zexi was still surprised to see Gu Zhao here, and curious about the people around her, when he saw his sister shake off his hand and run over like a madwoman.
"Yibao!" A vein throbbed in Ye Zexi’s forehead. He hurriedly followed.
"Why are you still alive! You should be dead!!" Ye Zuiyi had completely lost her mind.
’Gu Zhao had stolen everything from her!’
