Chapter 156 Special Gift

Seeing that Guo Mi was already sitting with the little bear sharing the fox, the male bear quickly got up from the ground, took two steps toward them, and then stopped.

The little bear left most of the meat to Guo Mi, who took a couple of symbolic bites and then sat down to watch the little bear eat.

All I could hear was the male bear's frantic panting. I could vaguely see Caesar circling around in place. I wondered if the stone at his feet was in his way, because he raised his front paw and slapped it away with a "smack!"

Finally, feeling utterly frustrated, he sat down facing the bushes, looking as if he couldn't figure it out no matter how hard he tried.

Guo Mi thought to herself, "Heh."
She knew it.

How could he change so drastically in the blink of an eye? He must have been up to something bad and ended up using the little bear for it.

However, judging from his current state, she could roughly guess that he wanted to take care of the teddy bear so that he could impress her.

Guo Mi sighed softly. Oh well, her motives weren't pure, but she still did a good deed by taking care of the little bear.

For Caesar, this was an unprecedented and ultimate effort!

After all, they are furry little animals... oh no, big animals. Although they are being clever, they are still quite cute from a human perspective.

Guo Mi lowered her head and asked the two little bears:
"Would you be willing to share some food with Caesar?"

The prey was brought back by two bear cubs, and she needed to follow their instructions.

The two bear cubs looked at each other, glancing at Caesar's enormous body and then down at the fox they had already half-eaten.

Fishbone looked at the salmon first, and after confirming her expression, he said with considerable distress:

"We're willing, but if he hadn't helped us, we wouldn't have caught the fox. And we only have this many left..."

Caesar is too big; this little bit of meat isn't even enough to fill his teeth!
"That's not a big problem," Guo Mi said cheerfully.
"It's nothing, it's just a token of my appreciation. He just needs to taste it."

So the little bear generously let Guo Mi take all the remaining meat, but Guo Mi only chose the remaining hind leg of the prey.

Caesar was still wondering where he had gone wrong. He had been protecting the two little ones just like Slok had, but Guo Mi hadn't given him the same kind of treatment as she had given Slok.

Was he too close to the bear cubs? Or was the round-faced bear trying to train his cubs, and shouldn't he have been helping them block the fox? No, that doesn't make sense either! What went wrong?
The male bear became increasingly uneasy, realizing that everything seemed wrong!
Its large, thick paws would scratch its ears one moment and its bottom the next, while its body twisted and turned.

Guo Mi ignored his scratching his head and placed the fox leg in front of him.

As soon as Caesar saw her approach, he instantly stopped fidgeting with his ears and scratching his rear, placing his paws neatly at his sides. He looked down at the fox's leg on the ground, and after a long while, he looked at Guo Mi with a puzzled expression, his eyes conveying a clear meaning:

what is this?
Guo Mi was speechless for a moment, and could only explain in a low voice:
"The little bear said thank you for helping them catch the prey, this is for you."

Who gets it?
Give it to...him?

Caesar carefully considered what Guo Mi said, and pondered it several times before confirming that he hadn't misheard. The little brat said he would share the prey with him!

He looked down and glanced again at the fox's legs at his feet.

It was thin, small, and shriveled, with its blood-stained fur matted together, making it look filthy.

Of course, the bear didn't really care about these things; it was just a small amount of meat, and once it tasted it, there was nothing left.

Caesar raised his paw, as if seeing some strange creature he was seeing for the first time, and carefully nudged the fox's leg a couple of times before sniffing it. Guo Mi didn't urge him, but just sat beside him watching him sniff, while the little bear stretched its head out behind them, wondering if Caesar would eat it.

After the male bear examined the fox's legs repeatedly, turning them over and over, Guo Mi finally couldn't help but urge him on:
"Don't complain about the small amount of meat. There's only so much prey, and they've given you the meatiest part."

Actually, given her temperament, seeing Caesar's almost picky attitude, she should have dragged the meat away now and then tossed a comment at the bear:
If you don't want to eat it, then forget it!
But Caesar had complained about her differential treatment several times, and later realized that he had indeed lacked patience with her.

Therefore, Guo Mi decided to treat him with at least the same patience she had shown Slok.

If you look closely, you'll see that Caesar wasn't being picky; the force with which he touched the flesh with his claws was too light, and his eyes were gleaming with the light of seeing something new and exciting.

Guo Mi guessed that he probably felt he had received an unexpected gift.

Sure enough, after she said that, Caesar opened his mouth and put the fox leg in his mouth!

He chewed the meat in his mouth, his eyes somewhat vacant. Guo Mi deliberately asked him:

"what about the taste?"

He even took two more bites, seemingly savoring them carefully, before telling the truth:

"It smells like fox, a bit pungent."

Guo Mi hummed in agreement.
"eat slowly."

Then he went back to the little bear and lied to it without batting an eye:
"He ate it and said it tasted good."

The salmon and fishbone looked at her with mixed feelings, though they weren't far away and could hear what she and Caesar were saying.

Fishbone secretly glanced at Caesar and saw him half-lying on the ground, still chewing. A thought stirred within her, and she turned her head to say something to the salmon, only to find that she was also looking at Caesar.

Guo Mi wondered if it was just her imagination, but she felt that ever since Caesar ate that fox leg, the way he looked at the two bear cubs seemed to have changed subtly.

But his behavior didn't change. He still rejected the little bear when they were traveling during the day, and at night he would chase the little bear away while she was asleep, committing all sorts of evil deeds.

Just when Little Bear had changed his opinion of him, he immediately felt that Little Bear really hated him.

However, no matter what, they gradually moved away from the influence of the human town amidst the noise and arrived at the place where Guo Mi had provoked the crazy bird.

The birds that once thrived here have left, and the once bustling island has returned to its desolate and empty state.

They couldn't find food here, and they were still quite a distance from the snow-capped mountains. They had to make a choice.

Slok said he had seen the sea freezing over and that they would soon be able to board the ice floes from here.

In the summer, Guo Mi also wanted to take Big White to climb the sea ice. The pace of her journey finally came to a brief halt. Guo Mi had to make a choice between climbing the ice floe with them and taking Little Bear back to the snow mountain by herself.

During this time, a little incident occurred: Slok suddenly popped up excitedly and said that he had discovered something strange!

This quickly caught the little bear's attention, and even Guo Mi was drawn to it.

The worries of the past few days had left her somewhat mentally exhausted, so she decided to put her troubles aside for the time being and follow Slok to see what this "strange thing" he was talking about really was.

When they arrived, several other polar bears had already surrounded them. The moment Guo Mi saw the thing, her heart skipped a beat!
That is……
