Live Cat Appraisal: Starting with a Beast That's Got a Long Prison Record

Chapter 137 I've Tamed the Shiny Snow Leopard!

Ying Ying Ying!
The little one in my arms cried out, sounding both aggrieved and anxious.

Chen Nian looked down at the purple fur ball kicking its legs wildly, then looked up at Shirley's mother, who was lying elegantly beside her, looking completely unconcerned.

For a moment, I didn't know what to say.

Not
Are you really planning to let me breastfeed your baby?

This heavy trust made Chen Nian feel immense pressure!

Because he's never raised a snow leopard before!
And
Chen Nian's peripheral vision quickly swept behind the rock, catching Wang Chen's mischievous winking expression.

The officials are watching!
If this is misunderstood as kidnapping a national child, he will never be able to clear his name!
However, Shirley is clearly determined to be a "baby-splitting mom".

This brat has an insatiable appetite and he even steals other babies' food, leaving his older siblings with nothing to eat.

Can’t afford it!
We simply can't afford to raise them!
Let whoever wants to raise it take care of it; I'm not going to put up with it anymore.

Chen Nian had just put Xue Aotian down again when Xue Li, without even lifting her eyelids, deftly stretched her neck and once again accurately grabbed the little guy by the scruff of his neck, giving him a gentle shake.

Xue Aotian rolled precisely back into Chen Nian's arms once again!
Xue Aotian: Don't I have any pride?!
Chen Nian:
(╯‵ ′)╯︵┻━┻

This time, it wasn't just Chen Nian who couldn't hold back anymore.

Wang Chen, who was peeping from behind the rocks, and the viewers in the live stream who were holding their breath, couldn't bear it any longer.

"Sydney's Mom: This hot potato is yours!"

"Your chosen stay-at-home dad! Mr. Chen, just accept your fate!"

Sherry's actions were practically entrusting Xue Aotian entirely to Chen Nian!

Add to that Xue Aotian's extremely rare purple fur.
It's exactly like the classic scene in fantasy novels where the protagonist encounters a severely injured top-tier monster and is entrusted with a mission to become a descendant with unlimited potential!

Admit it, Teacher Chen!

You are the protagonist of the novel!
Wang Chen's gaze became extremely complicated.

If Chen Nian's previous ability to approach a wild snow leopard unharmed could be somewhat explained by her 'special physical condition,' what about this one?

They're just going to dump their own child on you and let you raise it?!

This is absolutely outrageous! It's outrageous to the extreme!

I couldn't find a precedent even after searching through all the literature on animal behavior!
Thinking of the instructions given by his superiors before his departure, Wang Chen suddenly didn't know what to say.

Originally, the leader sent Wang Chen with a hidden mission.

I just wanted to let Chen Nian know.

Minimize contact with the Sydney family to prevent them from becoming overly dependent on humans and to avoid them being exploited and harmed by malicious individuals in the future.

But seeing this scene, Wang Chen suddenly felt inexplicably at ease.

I almost wanted to laugh!

Because he now understands one thing deeply—

There are two kinds of people.

One type is an ordinary person, and the other is Chen Nian.

Only Chen Nian could earn Shirley's trust. Even snow leopards raised by humans from a young age would never simply hand their cubs over to their keepers!
Therefore, Wang Chen felt that his boss was overthinking things.

He asked his assistant to write this down.

I plan to report this to my supervisor when I get back tonight.

There's no need to do this hidden quest!

As his thoughts returned, Wang Chen glanced at Chen Nian, whose movements were somewhat stiff not far away, and laughed rather unkindly.

"Haha, Sherry has really put a difficult problem in Teacher Chen's hands!"

Taking care of a snow leopard cub is no easy task.

Any feline expert would have a headache.

But after laughing for a while, Wang Chen stopped laughing.

Because he suddenly remembered that he didn't even seem to have the chance to have a headache!
Damn! (A type of plant)
At this moment, looking at Xue Aotian, who was lying in his arms with his eyes closed, looking for food but not finding any, and then just started crying, Chen Nian did feel a headache for a moment.

It's not that I have a headache and can't take good care of Xue Aotian.

Instead, he was worried that Xue Aotian, whom he was feeding, might become too friendly to humans in the future.

This is a major taboo in wildlife protection guidelines!
Often, it's not that humans don't want to lend a helping hand, but that they can't!

There was a real case that was once reported.

In a certain place abroad, large felines are so numerous that they often roam near human villages, and these hominids can be seen almost every day.

Over time, they figured out the strength of the apes.

It's both delicious and nutritious!

Therefore, news of humans being eaten by wild tigers frequently occurs in the area.

This is the origin of the man-eating tiger!

When wild animals lose their natural wariness and sense of distance from humans, the first to face danger is humanity itself!
Countless painful lessons forged that ironclad rule:

Do not approach or feed them.

Chen Nian frowned slightly.

It's okay to feed a little bit yesterday.

His concern was that if Xue Aotian got used to being fed by him from a young age, would he foolishly approach other humans when he grew up?

An adult snow leopard runs towards you with a 'friendly' attitude.
That scene would probably scare an ordinary person to death on the spot!

The intimidating power of large carnivorous cats is no joke!
If the other party reacts excessively, causing Xue Aotian to retaliate, the consequences would be unimaginable!

"To feed or not to feed?"

Xue Aotian's loud cries echoed in her ears, and Chen Nian was caught in a brief dilemma.

Just then, Xiaomi, who had been silent in the consciousness space, lazily spoke, her voice filled with drowsiness:
'It's okay, meow~'

'You don't still think you're a person in its eyes, do you, meow?' Chen Nian: ?!

'What do you mean, Xiaomi? Are you swearing at me?'

Xiaomi, fighting off sleepiness, rolled her eyes at Cui Cui.

'Are you an idiot, meow!'

Chen Nian: 'Aha! You really were insulting me!'

Xiaomi completely ignored his interruption and explained succinctly: 'It's because of my cat god body! You silly cat!'

'Having acquired the body of a cat god, in the perception of all felines, your aura and your essential existence are now infinitely close to that of a cat, meow!'

'At most, it's just a cat that walks upright and can talk!'

'So, there's absolutely no need to worry about violating those protective rules set up for ordinary humans, meow.'

'From the perspective of felines, you are now fundamentally different from other humans, meow!'

'Hmm? I see!'

Hearing Xiaomi's words, Chen Nian fell into deep thought.

Then suddenly he made a gesture, his face serious:
'From today onwards—I'm not human anymore! Meow!'

'.'

Swish!
Xiaomi's figure vanished from the consciousness space in an instant.

I'm tired, I don't want to talk!
And I'm so sleepy!

'I'm going to sleep now, meow!'

Chen Nian did not notice anything unusual about Xiaomi.

After saying 'goodnight' to Xiaomi in his heart, he looked down at Xue Aotian in his arms.

He held Xue Aotian in his hands and presented him to the front of him.

Looking into its still-closed eyes, its expression was incredibly sincere, as if it were performing some kind of sacred ritual of covenant:
"Aotian, would you like to come with me?" (Serious tone)

Aotian remained silent.

All she does is whine!
"What?! You agreed!" Chen Nian was overjoyed.

He excitedly lifted Xue Aotian, put his other hand on his hip, struck a classic pose, and shouted:
"I've captured the Shiny Snow Leopard!"

"."

At this moment, the world fell silent!

Both the cat lovers in the live stream and the people behind the rocks couldn't help but raise their hands to cover their faces.

Why do I suddenly feel so embarrassed?

"This is so embarrassing! Who is this streamer? I don't know him!"

"Aaaaaah! I want to catch a snow leopard too! Go, Master Ball!"

The people behind the rock froze in shock.

Only Lin Sen, upon seeing this incredibly familiar posture, felt his DNA stir violently!

He instinctively struck the same pose behind the rocks, lowering his voice and growling excitedly:

"It's up to you!"

"Go, Xue Aotian!"

Everyone: "."

They quietly moved to the side.

Judging from Teacher Chen's demeanor, this kind of adolescent chuunibyou (delusional) aura is clearly contagious.

The remaining members of the camp, Wujiuliang, also saw Chen Nian's silly moment with her hands on her hips through the live stream.

He immediately made up his mind.

We must make sure Chen Nian has less contact with Lin Sen!

With so many people watching the live stream, don't they have any shame?!

Chen Nian said: No!

Now that he has no worries about the future, why does he still need to save face?
Chen Nian steadily supported the still whimpering Xue Aotian with one hand, while with the other hand, she magically and rapidly took out a baby bottle, formula, and warm water from her backpack.

The movements were fluid and executed in one smooth motion!
In no time, a bottle of milk powder at the right temperature was prepared.

"Okay, okay, stop crying!"

"Milk, come here!"

Before the words were even finished, the pacifier was precisely inserted into Xue Aotian's pink little mouth.

The crying stopped suddenly!

Haji Ao was absolutely unambiguous.

The four little legs, like a four-clawed fish, wrapped the milk bottle in its arms and began to gulp it down with great pleasure.

"Hey! Slow down, it's leaking out!"

Aren't you afraid of choking?

Beside her, Sherry lay quietly on her side, her clear amber eyes gently watching the interaction between the 'big and small' figures.

Lin Sen, who was behind the rock, noticed Sherry's gaze.

He blinked.
