Chapter 307: Little Dog Looks for Trouble, a High Jump Competition with Xiao Yu the Deer!

Once back on the ground, the crowd couldn't stop praising Ning Fei.

The incident even made it to the trending searches.

#Ning Guan Master Jumps into Gorilla Enclosure to Save Child#

In the video, Ning Fei leaped down into the zoo enclosure, then carried the child back up right in front of a group of gorillas.

Netizens left all sorts of comments praising his bravery and compassion.

Ning Fei didn't think much of it.

He was only saving that group of gorillas, after all.

Leaving the gorilla enclosure, Ning Fei realized many tourists were following him, all holding up their mobile phones to film him.

Since he was live-streaming, he sighed helplessly and said, "We're in a zoo. Why are these people filming me?"

Hearing this, the viewers in the live stream found it hilarious.

"Hahaha, Ning Guan master, you're rarer than the endangered animals now."

"Come look, everyone, a wild living Daoist priest has been spotted!"

"This is way more interesting than looking at lions and tigers."

"I'd film him too if I were there."

"You can see lions and tigers anytime, but bumping into the Ning Guan master in person isn't easy."

The audience was highly amused.

Fortunately, Liu Le, the zoo director, had just returned from a meeting. As soon as he heard someone had fallen into an enclosure, he rushed over in a panic to thank Ning Fei.

With the director there, things became much easier.

Ning Fei and Liu Le headed straight into the staff area, finally shaking off the crowd of picture-taking tourists.

"Ning Guan master, I've heard so much about you. I absolutely love watching your stream, and I never expected to meet you here today," Liu Le said with a chuckle.

"You're too polite, Director Liu."

"Thank you so much for what you did today. If you need anything, just let me know."

"There actually is something I'd like to ask of you. I want to see the lions and the red pandas up close. Is that convenient?"

Hearing this, Liu Le immediately replied, "Ning Guan master, if anyone else asked to visit the lions, I wouldn't dare agree. But since it's you, that's absolutely no problem."

"Let's head over right now."

"Sorry for the trouble."

The two walked side by side.

They took the staff passageway and went straight to the lion enclosure from the back.

"The Ning Guan master really is amazing. He has friends everywhere he goes."

"So impressive!"

"He saved a kid the moment he showed up at the zoo. He deserves to enjoy a few privileges."

At the lion enclosure, once they reached the staff-only activity area, Liu Le didn't dare get any closer.

The zoo had strict rules: aside from the breeders, no one was allowed near dangerous beasts like lions.

Ning Fei didn't mind. He stepped into the lion enclosure alongside the breeder.

Several lions were lying on the rocks, bored out of their minds as they basked in the sun.

Compared to wild animals, the ones in the zoo were physically healthier since they didn't have to fight for survival, but they lacked vitality and wildness.

"Ning Guan master, you need to be careful. These lions don't really like strangers," the breeder said with some concern.

"It's fine." Ning Fei was bold due to his exceptional skills. Even if things went south, he still had the Qilin Pendant. To him, lions were just oversized cats.

However, Ning Fei immediately noticed something was wrong.

The pride of lions didn't pay him much attention.

Even when he slightly adjusted the Qilin Pendant's skill to emit a bit of the Qilin's aura, the lions only cast a fearful glance at him before backing away a few steps.

'What's going on?'

'Lions are not ancient Huaxia creatures; the Qilin Jade Pendant does not affect them.' While Ning Fei was wondering, the System proactively gave him an answer.

'It doesn't work? What about things like the Animal Friendship Card?'

'Prop items are universal across all species. Auspicious beast spiritual artifacts and their inherent skills can only be used on animals that existed within ancient Huaxia and their descendant species.'

Hearing the System's explanation, Ning Fei finally understood.

Auspicious beasts like the Qilin, Phoenix, and Bai Ze were ancient spiritual beasts of Huaxia. They only protected Huaxia's native species.

Lions had been introduced from Africa; there were no wild lions within Huaxia, so the aura had no effect on them.

'So there's a distinction like that. It seems that even in ancient times, animals were divided into factions or regions,'

Ning Fei thought to himself.

"Ning Guan master, is something wrong?" the breeder asked, seeing that Ning Fei hadn't moved.

"Oh, it's nothing."

As the breeder guided the lions, Ning Fei simply patted one on the head.

Having pet a wild South China tiger and a chubby snow leopard from the snowy mountains, petting a zoo lion felt a bit lacking.

Some animals were just better seen in the wild.

Of course, only Ning Fei would think like this. If most people saw these beasts in the wild, they wouldn't even be able to run away fast enough.

Afterward, Ning Fei headed straight to the red panda pavilion.

Red pandas were not pandas; they were another type of adorable animal.

This cute creature ranked in the top ten on the global list of the most adorable animals.

They looked somewhat like cats, with reddish-brown fur, white stripes on their cheeks, and large ears, making them incredibly cute.

Moreover, red pandas had a specific quirk: whenever they were startled, they would stand on their hind legs, throw their arms wide open, and gape their mouths, looking as if they were trying to warn off their opponent.

However, their appearance was just too cute, completely devoid of any actual intimidation.

Walking into the red panda enclosure, Ning Fei saw them resting and deliberately made a little noise.

Hearing the sound, one red panda immediately stood up, assuming a defensive posture.

That display instantly amused the viewers.

"Red panda: Watch me cute you to death!"

"Haha, I'm done for, I'm dying from the cuteness!"

"This is just way too adorable."

"Who could possibly resist this?"

Ning Fei also found it highly entertaining.

He stayed in the pavilion and played with the red pandas for a while, waiting until Liang Yi finished the surgery and came to find him.

"How did it go?" Ning Fei asked.

"Everything's handled. Just some bleeding control and stitches. It wasn't anything difficult," Liang Yi replied.

"That's good."

After that, the two said goodbye to Director Liu Le and planned to return to the deer enclosure.

"Ning Guan master, Dr. Liang, you're welcome back anytime," Liu Le said politely.

"Definitely."

On the way back, Ning Fei and Liang Yi chatted about the zoo's situation.

"Director Liu is quite the figure. Large wildlife parks like this are state-owned. The reason he can manage it so well is that he has a lot of channels for wild animals," Liang Yi said with admiration.

"Yeah. I took a look around the zoo today, and many of the animals are extremely rare. He really is capable," Ning Fei nodded.

"Temple Master, I think you're even more amazing than Director Liu," Liang Yi added. "Wenyan Deer Enclosure feels warmer and more comfortable to me. The zoo has too many rules and restrictions."

Ning Fei just smiled at this, not saying much.

Everyone had different pursuits.

Back at Wenyan Deer Enclosure, the various tasks gradually stabilized and proceeded in an orderly manner.

That day, another amusing incident occurred inside the enclosure.

While live-streaming, Ning Fei was playing with Xiao Yu. Sika deer had great jumping ability, so Ning Fei purposely found a high-jump bar and placed it on the ground to teach Xiao Yu the Deer how to jump.

This made Little Dog incredibly jealous.

So, every time Xiao Yu leaped over it, Little Dog would follow suit and jump as well.

"Woof woof!"

After jumping over the bar, Little Dog barked twice at Ning Fei.

"You want me to raise the height?"

Understanding Little Dog's demand, Ning Fei smiled helplessly.

The viewers were instantly amused as well.

"Is Little Dog challenging Xiao Yu's high jump?"

"This dog loves to look for trouble, but I like it."

"Good heavens, a dog and a deer are going to have a high jump competition?"

"This is getting exciting."

Little Dog was extremely competitive.

At that moment, Ning Fei saw Xiao Yu the Deer quietly walk over to his side. The deer looked completely unfazed and calm.

Noticing Xiao Yu the Deer's demeanor, Ning Fei said to the viewers, "Xiao Yu looks like a quiet boy, but who would have thought he'd accept Little Dog's challenge so easily?"

"Since that's the case, let's have a proper competition!"

Ning Fei's interest was piqued as well, and he went over to adjust the height of the bar.

Meanwhile, Little Fox and the three Xiao Heijiu lay to the side, watching Xiao Yu the Deer and Little Dog. They secretly shook their heads, seemingly unable to understand what these male creatures were thinking. What was the point of competing in a high jump?

Little Fei, the little falcon, and Xiao Feng found it even more boring.

With such a low height, couldn't they just flap their wings and fly over it?

However, the atmosphere between Little Dog and Xiao Yu the Deer was exceptionally heated.

Ning Fei adjusted the bar and shouted, "The Wenyan Deer Enclosure High Jump Championship is about to begin!"

"Competitors, get ready!"

Hearing him, Little Dog and Xiao Yu the Deer stepped out side by side.

One was an exceptionally energetic puppy just a few months old, and the other was a young sika deer still in its nursing phase.

Little Dog had an advantage in age and physical development, but Xiao Yu the Deer had an advantage in height and genetics.

The two were evenly matched, making this high jump competition unexpectedly thrilling.
