Chapter 105: It Feels So Good to Be Doted on by Everyone

Chapter 105: Chapter 105: It Feels So Good to Be Doted on by Everyone

Liang He rode the female elephant steadily across the grassland, while the Platinum Giant Lion carried Hoder, following from a distance.

President Lucas and the others remained stationed in the monitoring room. They constantly adjusted the camera feeds, deeply afraid that a moment of carelessness would cause them to lose track of Liang He and her companions.

[Huohuohuohuohuohuohuo: President Lucas said that it’s currently the elephants’ migration season. The Little Elephant most likely wandered off during the journey. Perhaps you could search along their migration route.]

[Liangliang Yue Se Chenghe: No rush. I’m going to find a little helper.]

A little helper?

Hoder followed the elephant group in confusion. He watched as Liang He guided the female elephant toward the sea of flowers.

They walked until they reached the edge of the floral expanse. Fearing the elephants might trample the blossoms, Liang He slid down the female elephant’s trunk from the top of her head. Seeing this, Hoder immediately dismounted the Platinum Giant Lion. Leaving the large beast behind so as not to spook the elephant group, he jogged over to her alone.

"Liang He, what are you looking for? Let me help you." Watching her bend over and search continuously through the flower bushes, Hoder wanted to lend a hand.

"A Bear Bee. It looks like a little bear with wings—chubby and very cute."

At first, Hoder thought she was talking about a drone bee. After hearing her description, he realized he was mistaken. "Why are you looking for a Bear Bee?"

Weren’t they here to help the elephant group find their missing Little Elephant? Why were they suddenly searching for a Bear Bee?

"Bear Bees are workaholics. If you give them a little sugar water, they’re willing to help out. I want to see if I can get them to help find the Little Elephant."

Since becoming a Breeder at the Tianyao Star Protection Zone, Liang He found that her communication with animals had grown increasingly smooth. Her recent interaction with the female elephant, in particular, made her want to boldly test her hypothesis. If this method actually worked, finding a lost Little Elephant would be a breeze for the Bear Bees, given their massive colonies.

"Will that really work?" Hoder didn’t want to rain on her parade, but he felt this idea was a bit far-fetched. Liang He could tame Evolutionary Beastmen because they still fell within the realm of humanity, but a Bear Bee...

It wasn’t just Hoder. Through the communicator, President Lucas and the others who heard Liang He’s fanciful idea also fell into a brief silence.

"Uh... why don’t we just let the kid try? Treat it as if she’s just playing in the flowers and relaxing?" one of them suggested. Liang He had solved a major crisis by leading the elephant group away. With Tainan absent, no one felt it was appropriate to object, especially out of respect for President Lucas.

"Let’s see how things play out. The rest of you, deploy more personnel to review the surveillance footage and locate the Little Elephant as soon as possible," President Lucas ordered. As the president, he was highly capable of handling emergencies. He neither dampened Liang He’s enthusiasm nor delayed the search for the calf.

With President Lucas backing her, Liang He continued searching for the Bear Bee without any psychological burden. Soon, she spotted a chubby little cutie.

"Finally found you." Liang He took out the water bottle she carried with her, pulled out a handful of candies, dropped them into the water, and shook the bottle until the sugar dissolved.

"Where did you get all that?" Hoder could understand her carrying a water bottle, but what was with the candy? He remembered that Liang He had previously given a rainbow lollipop to the little girl who was almost flattened by an elephant. He had no idea where she kept pulling these things from.

"I’ve encountered people with low blood sugar in the past, so I make it a habit to carry some candy just in case."

Hoder was a little surprised to learn that she hadn’t prepared them for herself, but for others who might need them.

Hearing her answer, President Lucas and the others unknowingly felt their fondness for Liang He rise even further.

"What a thoughtful, good kid."

"You could tell how much she values life from the way she had the Platinum Giant Lion save that girl."

"Only someone this kind-hearted would receive such preferential treatment from animals."

Listening to their evaluations, President Lucas grew even more certain of his own thoughts. Respecting and loving life were the most essential prerequisites for anyone working in animal conservation.

Blissfully unaware of President Lucas’s frantic desire to poach his staff, Huo An was currently sitting on a Starship. Looking at the video feed of a group of cranky fluffies clamoring for Liang He, he let out a deep sigh.

[Have you still not managed to contact Liang He?]

They had originally agreed that Liang He would video call the fluffies every evening to soothe their emotions. However, since Liang He had just arrived at Greenfield Star yesterday and was overly exhausted—and because he was also urgently rushing to Greenfield Star—he had asked Xu Yi to reschedule her video call to this afternoon.

[I managed to contact Hoder. However, they seem to have run into a bit of a situation, so she can’t video call Cedriel and the others right now.]

Unable to reach Liang He, Xu Yi had turned his attention to Hoder. Fortunately, Hoder had been maintaining contact with President Lucas’s team and happened to see Xu Yi’s message.

[What happened?]

Upon hearing that something had gone wrong, Huo An instantly furrowed his brows, his nerves tightening. He was deeply afraid that if he was even a step late, Liang He would be plotted against and abducted.

[It seems the elephant group suddenly barged into the hotel because a Little Elephant went missing. After Liang He lured them away, she stayed to help find the lost Little Elephant.]

Xu Yi was different from Lan Zhuo. At the very least, when providing information, he didn’t automatically filter out keywords and cause misunderstandings.

Hearing this, Huo An felt slightly relieved. He had a lot of confidence in Liang He’s affinity with animals. Simply put, as long as she wasn’t dealing with people, it wasn’t a big issue. However, Huo An seemed to have forgotten one very important point. In this world, aside from humans and animals, there were also Beastmen...

"Little guy, if you drink my sugar water, you have to help me find the Little Elephant."

Liang He poured a little bit of the sugar water from her bottle into the cap, ensuring she wouldn’t accidentally drown the Bear Bee in the liquid. The Bear Bee continuously slurped up the sweet sugar water, its small, transparent wings trembling gently. It was clearly very pleased. Once it had its fill and fully recovered its stamina, it would be able to work for several more hours without resting.

BUZZ BUZZ BUZZ.

The Bear Bee felt immense gratitude toward the human who bestowed upon it such a delicious treat. Under Liang He’s constant coaxing, it fluttered around the elephant group for a while before darting off toward the flower patches.

"It wouldn’t just take the free meal and fly away, would it?"

Deep down, Hoder still felt this was highly unreliable, but he didn’t have the heart to crush Liang He’s enthusiasm. He could only direct his skepticism at the Bear Bee.

"It won’t," Liang He answered resolutely.

Her answer gave Hoder a sudden, inexplicable sense of anticipation. Even though he knew it was impossible, when he thought about it, Liang He had actually created quite a few "impossible" scenarios. He’d rather respectfully decline the chance to eat his own words later.

BAROO—

Even though the humans weren’t rushing Liang He, the elephant group couldn’t wait. Seeing Liang He remain in place, they began to grow anxious again. The female elephant tried to scoop Liang He up with her trunk again to place her back on top of her head. However, she was startled by the Platinum Giant Lion suddenly charging over, which nearly triggered a stampede within the elephant group.

"Cyril, be good. You don’t need to worry about me." Liang He immediately stopped the Platinum Giant Lion’s threatening behavior, though she didn’t mean to blame him. After all, the Platinum Giant Lion was only acting out of concern for her safety. She wasn’t an ungrateful person.

She then turned to the herd. "Don’t worry, elephants. I will definitely help you get the Little Elephant back."

While Liang He was pacifying the elephant group, Hoder, who had kept his eyes on the direction the Bear Bee flew, suddenly raised his hand excitedly and pointed forward.

"Liang He, look quickly!"
