Chapter 162: Chapter 162: Cyril, Coaxed Around in Circles

[LMAO, why is a dignified Empire VIP so hilarious?]

[Every time I hear the Platinum Giant Lion’s cries, I get the illusion that an ambulance has arrived, haha!]

[That looks like so much fun! Can humans play it too? If so, it happens to be snowing where I am!]

Sitting on a snow tube, the Platinum Giant Lion zoomed toward the inflatable bowling pins. With a BANG, the frontmost inflatable bowling pin was knocked down.

Since it was his first time playing, the Platinum Giant Lion was startled. He immediately leaped, did a backflip in the air, and landed on all fours. However, his paws couldn’t find their footing on the ice, and he flopped straight down onto his belly.

"PFFT!"

Every single person present couldn’t hold back their laughter. They were bent over, laughing uncontrollably at the Platinum Giant Lion’s comical antics.

[Hahaha!]

[Hahahahahaha!]

[Hahahahahahahahahaha!]

Even the fans in the live stream didn’t have time to make teasing remarks; only an endless loop of "hahas" could express their current mood.

"AWOOO..."

Knowing he had embarrassed himself, the Platinum Giant Lion covered his eyes with his front paws in absolute despair, giving off a vibe of "If I can’t see you, you can’t see me making a fool of myself."

Hearing his pathetic whimpering, Liang He walked over to him affectionately, moved his paws away, and casually squeezed his paw pads.

"There, there. It’s Cyril’s first time playing, so it’s normal to be scared."

The inflatable bowling pins were quite large and looked intimidating. Since the Platinum Giant Lion had never encountered them before, he subconsciously treated them as hard objects. It was completely normal for his survival instincts to make him jump away.

"AWOOO?"

The Platinum Giant Lion looked at Liang He pitifully with his emerald-like eyes, as if asking if what she said was true.

"Yes, indeed! Cyril did a great job! Look, you knocked down several inflatable bowling pins."

Liang He pointed to the spot where the inflatable bowling pins were set up. The front three or four had already been knocked over. If the Platinum Giant Lion hadn’t flinched at the last second, a few more would have fallen.

"AWOOO!"

The easily coaxed Platinum Giant Lion immediately scrambled to his feet upon hearing this. Pounding his chest and holding his head high, he snorted smugly at the others.

Cyril thought, "The two-legged beast says I’m great! I must be absolutely amazing!"

[My mom asked me why I’m twitching on the floor. I told her I can’t control my laughter!]

[Cyril really is like a little kid, being completely wrapped around the Breeder’s finger. Tsk tsk~]

[I heard Liang He recommended other Breeders read books on child psychology. Now I finally understand why, haha!]

Liang He, who was exceptionally skilled at coaxing children, effortlessly patched up the Platinum Giant Lion’s fragile little heart. After their demonstration, everyone was itching to give it a try and join in the fun.

"Everyone, try it out first. We’ll start the competition later."

Since the fluffballs actually reacted faster than humans and were relatively safer, Liang He let Silver Feather and the others practice first. She didn’t want the humans to slip and fall before they even managed to push anyone.

Meanwhile, Liang He picked up an inflatable bowling pin and began lightly tapping the fluffballs’ bottoms with it, letting them know that this thing was completely harmless.

"See? Isn’t it super soft? But you can’t smack it with your paws or bite it with your teeth, or else there won’t be anything left for us to play with."

Once the fluffballs realized the inflatable bowling pins were light as a feather, they started using their paws. Cyril even tried to bite the culprit that had made a fool of him, but Liang He stopped him just in time.

Her hand got stuck in Cyril’s mouth. Upon feeling her delicate skin, the Platinum Giant Lion blinked in bewilderment. Frightened, he quickly let go and stumbled backward. By this time, the other fluffballs had begun glaring at him with unfriendly expressions.

"AWOOO..."

He was wronged! He hadn’t meant to bite the two-legged beast! No, wait, he hadn’t wanted to bite the two-legged beast at all!

"MEOW!"

The most hot-tempered of the bunch, the Mengji Snow Leopard, lunged straight at the Platinum Giant Lion and started yanking out his fur. Meanwhile, the Canglan Hunting Eagle circled in mid-air, cheering him on and fanning the flames.

[Pfft, haha! Why do I feel like I’m dreaming of returning to the Snow Festival when the Platinum Giant Lion made his first appearance~]

[It’s still different. Back then, it was a group beatdown. The Canglan Hunting Eagle truly is a little schemer, egging the Mengji Snow Leopard on to fight while he plays the Breeder’s good boy~]

[Thinking back, the Mengji Snow Leopard used to be a White Lotus Leopard, too. How did he get led astray so easily~ Though the silly sweet tiger has become more mature, as well.]

The netizens loved a good drama, and Liang He didn’t try to stop the fight either. The fluffballs often messed around like this, but they knew their limits. There was no need to interfere too much; doing so would only harm their relationship.

She glanced at her empty wrist and raised an eyebrow slightly. She had no idea where Little Black ran off to today. Usually, he would be wrapped around her wrist hibernating.

[Are there any unusual movements from the Rebel Army?]

The Little Black she was thinking about—who was actually Elias—had been deeply immersed in sleep ever since returning from Greenfield Star, completely turning a deaf ear to the outside world.

In reality, his battle with Huo An seemed to have left him uninjured, but it had actually drained a massive amount of his energy. This was precisely why he had chosen to hide by Liang He’s side. If it hadn’t been for Liang He, it would have been difficult for him to even leave Greenfield Star, considering Duke Eli was still eyeing him like a tiger watching its prey.

[After learning of the mission’s failure, Nick flew into a terrible rage. There shouldn’t be any further operations in the near future.]

Aside from that, the news of Ace still being alive had also been spread by Elias’s subordinates. The Federation Army on Greenfield Star, which had originally planned to withdraw, had now tightened their martial law.

[Find a way to locate Ace. Do not let the Rebel Army take him away.]

Hiding in the bathroom where there were no surveillance cameras, Elias looked through the ventilation glass at the tiny figure in the distance, his eyes darkening slightly. He would not let anyone who hurt her off the hook.

[Understood.]

Elias’s subordinates never questioned his orders; they simply focused on carrying them out. However, recalling another piece of news they had received earlier, the subordinate hesitated repeatedly before deciding to report it.

[After the Black Wizard learned that Liang He has a way to deal with the Fierce Beast virus, he began conducting new research. Do we need to look into the details of his research?]

As one of the Rebel Army’s trump cards, the Black Wizard’s purpose for existing was to develop the Fierce Beast Army. If the Fierce Beast virus was cured, his position would naturally be in jeopardy, which was not something he wanted to see. Therefore, he had to step up his research and create an existence even more powerful than the Fierce Beast Army to use against the Federation.

Previously, Nick had told him to butter up the Spirit Deer Beastman so he would willingly cooperate with the research. The highly arrogant Black Wizard was unwilling to do so, but as things stood now, he could no longer afford to put on airs.

"Lord Black Wizard, the leader is extremely dissatisfied with this operation. If the Federation really manages to research a way to counter the Fierce Beast virus, you won’t be able to escape the consequences either, let alone me."

General Nick stood beside the Black Wizard, his expression displeased as they both stared at the Spirit Deer Beastman and the Dark Night Wolf King, who were locked up together.

The failure of Ace and Valken’s mission meant that Nick had borne the brunt of the leader’s full fury. This left him in a foul mood when dealing with the Black Wizard. Nick’s attitude made the Black Wizard extremely unhappy, but he also knew that the situation forced his hand. A hint of ruthlessness flashed across his gloomy eyes.

"Rest assured, I already have a new research direction. This time, I’d like to see how they plan to beat me!"
