Chapter 83: The Mengji Snow Leopard’s Iconic Social Death Scene

Chapter 83: Chapter 83: The Mengji Snow Leopard’s Iconic Social Death Scene

Liang He looked at the koala waiting obediently on the branch and knew immediately that another victim had appeared.

"Very well. Leopard, you’ve really outdone yourself. You even learned how to recruit minions?"

The clueless koala looked at the Mengji Snow Leopard, whose ear was being pulled by Liang He. It blinked its eyes innocently and slowly tilted its head in confusion.

"Holy crap, Kuang Wild Bull! To actually think of using a koala to transport pinecones!"

Compared to Liang He, Hoder felt more admiration toward the Mengji Snow Leopard. The Imperial Admiral had become a fierce beast, yet his brain was still this sharp? To be honest, his initial thought had been a bit gross. He had assumed the Mengji Snow Leopard was completely unhygienic and just carried them back to the dorm in his mouth.

"MEOW~"

The Mengji Snow Leopard affectionately rubbed against Liang He. His usually majestic voice grew increasingly squeaky and forced, begging for leniency. He felt that he hadn’t done anything wrong! To get the koala to help, he had to let it ride on his back, run around, drop off the pinecones, and then carry it all the way back. Did he complain?

"You only know how to act cute. If you’re so capable, why didn’t you find a kangaroo to help?"

After all, compared to docile koalas, kangaroos had terrible tempers. So the Mengji Snow Leopard was clearly just picking on the easy target.

Both amused and exasperated, Liang He lightly tapped the Mengji Snow Leopard’s forehead. She turned her attention to the koala and realized the little guy still hadn’t registered the situation.

"Here, you provoked it, so you’re responsible for sending it back."

She wondered where this koala had even come from. They hadn’t seen it when they passed by here earlier. Did they build such a good rapport over the past few days that the little guy intentionally waited here for the Mengji Snow Leopard?

"MEOW!"

The Mengji Snow Leopard called out to the koala. The koala, which had still been in standby mode, suddenly shuddered and booted up instantly. With its little hands and feet, the koala tried to scurry down the tree nimbly. However, no matter how fast it tried to move, to the onlookers, its actions were agonizingly slow and incredibly adorable, perfectly maintaining its completely chill, Zen-like persona.

"BURP... SQUEAL!"

Who knew what the koala was thinking, but instead of leaving, it slowly waddled over toward Liang He.

"Wait, where is that pig squeal coming from?!"

Hoder’s eyes widened. He couldn’t believe that such a cute koala could produce a raspy, pig-like squeal mixed with the sound of burping!

Compared to Hoder, Lan Zhuo was visibly much calmer, clearly having anticipated this. "Koalas generally only make sounds during courtship, so it’s normal that you haven’t heard it."

"So, it’s courting?"

Courting? With whom? Liang He or the Mengji Snow Leopard? Did it not even care about the species barrier?

"BURP... SQUEAL!"

Hearing the koala’s burping, pig-like squeals directed at the Mengji Snow Leopard, Liang He couldn’t hold it back anymore. She burst out laughing, doubling over in amusement.

"PFFT, HAHAHA! Leopard actually caught the eye of a koala?!"

Mocked, the Mengji Snow Leopard was utterly speechless, glaring at the squealing koala in front of him. If Liang He weren’t here, he would have loved to just smack it with a paw to see what kind of crap was stuffed inside its brain!

"ROAR!"

Exasperated, Kuang Ye roared, trying to scare the koala away. Unfortunately, the koala was naturally slow to react—otherwise, the Mengji Snow Leopard wouldn’t have been able to grab it and use it as a pinecone bag every day.

"BURP... SQUEAL?"

The koala tilted its head in confusion, not understanding why the Mengji Snow Leopard wouldn’t let it sit on his back. That was how it had always been before.

"ROAR!"

He wanted it to scram! Since Liang He was present, the Mengji Snow Leopard couldn’t just flee. Looking like he had lost all hope in life, he covered his ears in a vain attempt to bury his head in the sand.

"HAHAHA! Kuang Ye, you’ve finally got what’s coming to you!"

Hoder was gloating all too obviously, laughing so maniacally and slapping his thigh that he couldn’t stop. Infuriated, the Mengji Snow Leopard viciously bit down on his bicep. However, he didn’t actually bite down hard; he was merely scaring Hoder to make him stop laughing.

"Ah! Liang He, Kuang Ye bit me... MMPH!"

Completely unaware that the Mengji Snow Leopard had shown mercy, Hoder immediately tattled to Liang He. Alarmed, the Mengji Snow Leopard stood straight up and clamped a paw over his mouth.

"Leopard, what are you doing?"

Seeing that Hoder hadn’t been bitten to death but was about to be smothered, Liang He hurriedly pried the Mengji Snow Leopard off Hoder’s back.

"PTOEY, PTOEY, PTOEY! Kuang Ye, your paw stinks!" Hoder’s struggles hadn’t been due to a lack of oxygen from having his mouth covered, but because he was holding his breath against the stench of the Mengji Snow Leopard’s paw!

"Kuang Ye is a feline. Felines like to lick their paws, and he also loves biting hands. It’s normal for them to smell." Lan Zhuo casually offered this scientific explanation from the sidelines. It would have been even better if one could ignore the way he silently stepped back.

"MEOW..."

The caught Mengji Snow Leopard looked at Liang He aggrievedly, as if lodging a complaint about Hoder mocking him, subconsciously ignoring the koala’s courtship altogether.

"Alright, none of us should have laughed at you. We apologize, okay?"

Liang He gently comforted the Mengji Snow Leopard’s wounded little heart, but unexpectedly noticed that another koala had appeared nearby.

"Huh? Where did this koala pop out from?"

Following her question, the eyes of both humans and beasts instinctively looked over. Lan Zhuo lightly raised an eyebrow, probably realizing what was going on. "The koala that was being used as a bag made those courtship calls to summon this newcomer."

"Sigh, so the koala wasn’t courting the Mengji Snow Leopard after all!" Hoder pursed his lips in disappointment. He had been planning to secretly record a video to show Kuang Ye once he survived his Evolutionary Stage and regained consciousness. To endlessly rub it in his face! Hehe!

"Hoder, have some decency."

Even Lan Zhuo was speechless at Hoder, who seemed to revel in chaos. Meanwhile, watching the two adorably goofy koalas hug each other, Liang He felt her heart melt from the cuteness.

"Doctor Lan, do you know why it called this koala over?" It had even directed its calls at the Mengji Snow Leopard just a moment ago.

"I’m not entirely sure." Lan Zhuo shook his head regretfully. He hadn’t dabbled much in koala research.

Hoder, on the other hand, began analyzing the situation with great enthusiasm. "I think this male koala is still pursuing the female koala. To stand out from the rest of her suitors, it needs enough appeal to make the female choose it."

So, what could possibly attract a female koala? The male koala immediately thought of the Mengji Snow Leopard it had been riding these past few days!

"Because Kuang Ye let it ride on his back and run around these past few days, it felt it was a novel experience. Thus, it wanted to bring its future wife to experience it too, while simultaneously showing off its powerful connections and masculine prowess..."

Letting his imagination run wild, Hoder grew increasingly excited as he spoke, acting as if he shared a brain with the koala. However, Liang He only felt that this sounded more and more far-fetched. She and Lan Zhuo exchanged a silent glance, preparing to take the Mengji Snow Leopard and leave this forest first.

"BURP... SQUEAL!"

The Mengji Snow Leopard also wanted to quickly escape this place of trouble. But the moment he lifted his paw, he found that the koala had actually hugged his thigh!

"MEOW!"
