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

Chapter 144 Sherry's Plea to Stay

Woo?
In the valley, Snow Pear tilted its fluffy head, its amber eyes filled with obvious confusion, staring intently at Chen Nian, who was testing the temperature of the baby bottle.

It felt that the foster father had changed.

In the past, Chen Nian would give herself a massage whenever she came!
And they would also give themselves some fragrant jerky to eat.

But today, Chen Nian not only didn't give him a massage, but there wasn't even any dried meat left.

Sherry could still clearly sense that although Chen Nian's aura was still very close, it also carried a distinct sense of distance.

Woo!
It nuzzled Chen Nian's chest with its big head.

Then it wagged its tail over and handed it to Chen Nian almost coquettishly, the tip of its tail curling up in a fawning manner.

It knew that Chen Nian really liked its tail.

In the past, Chen Nian would have immediately picked it up and cherished it.

But today he acted as if he hadn't seen it at all.

Chen Nian resisted the urge to reach out and focused all her attention on the hungry Xue Aotian.

Seeing that her tail attack was ineffective, Sherry became a little anxious.

It thought of Chen Nian's sudden departure yesterday.

The feeling of separation grew stronger.

In an attempt to keep Chen Nian, it disregarded its status as the king of the snow mountain and, like an enlarged version of a silver tabby cat, rolled over and lay down in front of Chen Nian.

Then he lay there on his back, tilting his big head, staring at Chen Nian with his big, round eyes full of expectation.

Seeing that Chen Nian still did not react.

Still unwilling to give up, it clumsily twisted its thick rump on the ground, like a giant caterpillar, and crawled a short distance towards Chen Nian. Its pink tongue also unconsciously drooped at the corner of its mouth, like a silly big dog.

"."

Chen Nian caught this scene out of the corner of her eye, and the corner of her mouth twitched violently.

Even though he was mentally prepared, he was still so charmed by Sherry's utterly shameless and incredibly effective "cheeky leopard act" that he almost fainted.

I almost lost my composure on the spot!

Terrible!

Who can stand this!

The Snow Mountain Queen is being adorable online; this is practically an unfair nuclear weapon!

He only glanced at it out of the corner of his eye, and he felt his health bar instantly emptied!
An urge to pounce on it, bury myself in its silvery-gray fur, and frantically suck the leopard's breath almost burst forth!

"Hold on! Chen Nian! You're a professional!"

Chen Nian frantically warned herself in her heart, and with great difficulty she suppressed the urge to pounce on him and give him a good rub. Her expression returned to normal.

None of this worked?!
Seeing that Chen Nian was still unmoved, Xue Li rolled over and sat up again, then tilted her head to look at Chen Nian, her big eyes full of doubt.

broken!

I offered him my tail to play with, but he won't play with it anymore!
Could it be that.
When she saw Chen Nian holding Xue Aotian and skillfully feeding the little guy, Xue Li's eyes suddenly lit up.

Got it!

It braced itself on its four limbs and stood up.

Then he let out a low growl at Chen Nian: "Awoo!"
Immediately afterward, to Chen Nian's astonishment, Shirley strode out of the nest with her strong and agile limbs.

Chen Nian: ? ? ?
He was immediately taken aback by Sherry's sudden action, and for a moment he forgot about maintaining his aloof demeanor, and hurriedly turned around and shouted, "Where are you going!"

Ouch!

A faint but unusually firm response came through the wind from Sherry.

"Oh no!" Chen Nian looked at the four innocent little furballs in her arms, who were kicking each other after eating and drinking their fill, and then looked at the empty entrance to the nest. Her heart jumped into her throat.

He immediately took out his walkie-talkie and called out:
"Brother Wang! Qiyue! Xue Li has left the nest!"

"Yes, got it!"

Outside the nest, on a hillside made of piled rocks, Wang Chen and the others looked at each other with lingering fear as they watched the gray-white figure slowly emerge from the path, their faces flashing with relief.

"Luckily, we moved the observation point yesterday, otherwise we really would have run into it!"

"Brother Wang is wise!"

Both members of the Cat Alliance gave a thumbs up.

"Stop flattering me!" Wang Chen frowned and poked his head out, staring intently at the direction where Xue Li had disappeared, his brows furrowed.

"Quickly launch the drone!"

"We don't know why Sherry suddenly left the nest, and Teacher Chen has to take care of the snow leopard cubs and can't leave. We have to follow Sherry and see where she's going!"

He gave instructions quickly and calmly.

Xia Qiyue moved swiftly, and the small drone hummed as it quickly took off, accurately capturing the fast-moving silver-gray figure on the snow below.

Another team member immediately set up the equipment.

buzzing-

Two drones flew high in the sky, displaying Sherry's image on the screen in real time. Hearing the sound above her, Sherry glanced at it and then looked away.

Then, with graceful cat-like steps, it slowly strolled to a hillside, raised its head and sniffed for about two minutes before heading off in a clear direction.

"Is it alright for it to come out like this? Has it not recovered yet?"

One of the members of the Cat Alliance asked with some concern.

After all, snow leopards typically have a postpartum recovery period of up to two weeks, and they are aware of this basic knowledge.

"It's nothing," Wang Chen said casually.

"Sherry's body has recovered to about 70-80% thanks to Teacher Chen's massage, and she can move around freely now."

"The current goal is to figure out why it suddenly left the nest."

As he spoke, he picked up the walkie-talkie:
"Teacher Chen, Sherry is in great shape and moving very fast. She's heading towards the snow line on the north slope. We're tracking her with a drone. Please report any changes immediately."

In the nest.

While using her body to encircle the four little ones to prevent them from climbing and falling off the rocks, Chen Nian replied worriedly, "Understood! Thank you for your help! Please be careful!"

"Ok!"

After putting down the walkie-talkie, a hint of worry flashed in Chen Nian's eyes.

Could it be that my 'silent treatment' made Sherry angry, causing her to abandon the babies and run away?

Impossible Impossible!

Chen Nian shook her head repeatedly.

Ying Ying Ying!
The mother's sudden departure caused the four little ones to whimper anxiously, so Chen Nian had no choice but to hold them all in her arms to prevent them from crawling around.

He then turned on the walkie-talkie again, wanting to inquire about Sherry's condition.

zizi——

The walkie-talkie rang first.

Wang Chen's somewhat strange voice came out: "Teacher Chen, I think I know what Xue Li is going to do."

Looking at the footage transmitted back by the drone, he said definitively:

"It's hunting!"

"what?"

Chen Nian was confused, and then he received a video call request from Xia Qiyue.

After connecting.

The image shown is of Sherry, who has just left the nest.

From the drone's overhead view, the silver-gray figure was moving and leaping at an astonishing speed among the rocks and bushes covered with a thin layer of snow. Its movements were fluid and powerful, unlike a mother leopard that had just given birth a week ago!

As the image zooms in, its target is revealed.

A huge white snow rabbit!

On the vast snow-covered slope, a plump snow hare was hopping around in a panic behind a rock.

A silver-gray shadow, moving with lightning speed, was silently approaching from the side and above!

Those smooth muscle lines tighten and stretch as you run!
It's bursting with wild, explosive power!
Xia Qiyue, on the hillside, perfectly captured this precious moment of 'snow leopard hunting'.

"So they really are hunting?!"

Chen Nian stared wide-eyed.

When Sherry was still several meters away from Snow Rabbit, her hind legs suddenly burst out with terrifying power, and her whole body leaped into the air like a cannonball!

Flying Pounce!

Its massive body traced a near-perfect parabola through the air!
Precision!

fatal!

Without pausing after succeeding, Sherry picked up the snow rabbit carcass, which was larger than its head, and with almost light steps, strode back along the same path through the snow.

Soon after, heavy footsteps could be heard outside the nest.

Chen Nian turned her head to look.

Then, Shirley came running back with the plump snow rabbit in her mouth, her steps light and quick, with a hint of prancing joy in her movements.

Its long tail swayed happily behind it.

With a 'thud,' Sherry carefully placed the snow rabbit at Chen Nian's feet.

Then she raised her head, her large, pure, snow-white amber eyes staring unblinkingly at Chen Nian:

You're not leaving now, are you?

"."

Chen Nian crouched down, not looking at the snow rabbit, but reaching out her hand, her fingertips gently brushing against Xue Li's warm nose, which rose and fell slightly from running, her voice incredibly complex:
"You're making things difficult for me!"

Cat: Mom, I'm not coming home for dinner tonight!
Mouse: Mom, I'm not coming home for dinner tonight!
