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

Chapter 171 The Young Master of the Snow Mountain Makes a Powerful Debut!

Ever since being tricked by Dian Dian, the lynx no longer resisted Chen Nian's examinations. It would lie down however Chen Nian told it to during each examination and became extremely cooperative.

Of course, this only applies to Chen Nian.

It refuses to cooperate with any other human.

Xu Dafei and the others were still worried, so they came twice more to help with a follow-up examination.

As a result, they were all given the cold shoulder by the lynx.

Forget getting close, just appearing in front of a lynx will get you a fierce scare!
Xu Dafei was both amused and exasperated: "Well, it seems this is another person who only recognizes Teacher Chen. I guess you'll have to keep working hard, Teacher Chen."

Nowadays, everyone in the Cat Alliance trusts and even relies on Chen Nian more and more.

This is not only because of his unreasonable 'cat-loving' nature, but also because of the medical skills he demonstrated that are in no way inferior to those of professional veterinarians.

The veterinarians who accompanied her last time privately praised Chen Nian's technique for treating the lynx's wounds.

He frankly admitted that even if he did it himself, he might not be able to do it perfectly.

Therefore, Xu Dafei and the others entrusted the lynx to Chen Nian's care with complete peace of mind.

When Chen Nian finally had some free time and started her live stream again, the viewers in the live stream room went wild the moment they saw what was happening on camera!

The quarantine area was originally rather empty.

Chen Nian has now taken care of everything and put it in perfect order.

On one side, the desert cat Little Grey was lazily leaning against the isolation net, licking its fur, looking completely relaxed.

And its neighbor.
There, lying on the ground, was a huge, furry cat that was almost twice the size of Little Grey!
Its coat was covered with striking black spots, its long, brownish-gray fur had a flamboyant tuft of black hair on the tips of its ears, and its signature short black tail that looked as if it had been cut off.
"Holy crap?! A lynx?!"

"Am I seeing things? There wasn't one yesterday, how come there's a lynx today??"

"Teacher Chen, your 'Young Master Observation Center' has completely turned into a feline rescue station!"

Seeing that everyone could recognize the lynx, Chen Nian smiled with relief.

It seems my usual science popularization efforts haven't been in vain.

He seized the opportunity, squatted outside the lynx enclosure, and began to give everyone an in-depth explanation of the Eurasian lynx.

The lynx in the quarantine area ignored Chen Nian's explanation and remained aloof.

In reality, she secretly straightened her back, raised her chin, and tried her best to look more powerful and imposing, determined not to lose face as the "big sister" in front of Chen Nian.

When Chen Nian mentioned that lynxes are extremely aggressive, have the title of "wolf-slaying machines," and can even kill wild wolves single-handedly, a chorus of doubts appeared in the live chat.

"Really? Master, don't try to fool me, it looks pretty dull."

"Yeah, with that big face and that short tail, it's so cute, how could it possibly fight off a wolf?"

"Hmmm, he looks really cool, but isn't it a bit much to take on a wolf one-on-one?"

Chen Nian expressed her understanding in response to the doubts expressed in the comments.

After all, lynxes do have a kind of 'clumsy' cuteness when they are still, especially the one in front of him, which has lost weight due to its injuries and even has a bit of 'delicate features'.

It's clearly a beautiful cat from the lynx family.

(Lynx)
If you didn't know better, no one would guess that this guy could hunt wolves!

Chen Nian did not refute the comments.

Instead, pointing to the lynx's body, he said softly, "I know it's hard for everyone to imagine, but look..."

He pointed vaguely at the lynx's body through the glass:
"When I was giving it a full examination, I found that in addition to the most recent wound, it also had at least five old scars that had completely healed but were still deep, each one so deep that the bone was visible!"

"Based on my judgment, there are at least three of them."

"It was left by wolf claws or fangs!"

"This means that it has confronted wolves head-on more than once, and survived and won each time. Now, do you still think it is weak in combat?"

To be honest, Chen Nian was also deeply shocked when she first examined these old injuries.

That lynx is incredibly strong!

The average lynx doesn't get injured as often as it does!
The fact that it has survived to this day and become the 'big sister' that Dian Dian and Xiao Hui Hui respect must mean that its fighting power is absolutely top-tier on this plateau.

No wonder it took Dian Dian three whole days to bring the lynx over.

The territory is too vast!

It will take some time to get here.

"If it weren't for human-made animal traps, it wouldn't have been so badly injured, and it would probably still be roaming freely in the highland forests."

Chen Nian looked at the lynx with heartache through the glass.

Just then, a loud and aggrieved whimper came from behind Chen Nian, instantly breaking the slightly heavy atmosphere.

Upon hearing that familiar voice, the live chat immediately started flooding with comments.

"Welcome, young master!"

"Welcome, young master!"

Chen Nian turned around and saw Xia Qiyue walking over, carrying the struggling and whimpering Xue Aotian with a helpless expression.

"This little rascal, I woke up and didn't see you. I tried to coax you for ages but it didn't work. You'd better do it."

As she spoke, she tucked the heavy little ball of flesh in her arms into Chen Nian's embrace.

The little guy has grown to three and a half pounds now!
As soon as he was in the familiar embrace and smelled his new dad's scent, Xue Aotian immediately stopped whimpering.

It skillfully spun around in Chen Nian's arms a few times.

Find the most comfortable position to lie down, and then a pair of sapphire-like eyes curiously stared at the behemoth in the quarantine area.

The lynx, which had been lying down, was also attracted by the call and raised its head to look over.

One large and one small, two apex predators representing different ecological niches, made their historic first eye contact through the glass!
what!
To everyone's surprise, Xue Aotian took the initiative to provoke them, puffing out its cheeks and letting out what it thought was a very fierce hiss!

Neither Dot nor Little Grey received this treatment.

Their cute yet fierce appearance made Chen Nian and Xia Qiyue unable to help but laugh.

Chen Nian gently tapped its little head.

"Good heavens, you're not even a month old yet, and you're already thinking of challenging that 'wolf-slaying machine'? You're just a newborn calf that doesn't fear a tiger, aren't you?"

Xue Aotian remained silent, only exhaling continuously.

It feels incredibly safe in its dad's arms, and it even dares to bare its teeth at the King of Heaven!

The lynx seemed to find the little creature's provocation amusing.

It stopped lying far away and instead forced itself to stand up. It limped but still walked with a powerful air to the glass window, then sat down steadily, looking down at the ignorant little furball in front of it with curiosity.

"Hey, be careful! Don't reopen the wound!"

Chen Nian was horrified and had no choice but to offer a reminder.

If it weren't for the cat bandage, the lynx's wound would have reopened!

But the lynx clearly didn't understand this.

Its attention was entirely focused on Xue Aotian.

The top-down perspective creates an overwhelming sense of oppression!
Chen Nian originally thought Xue Aotian would be afraid.

After all, this little guy is only about a month old, and can't compare to an adult lynx in any way.

However, Xue Aotian glared back without fear.

Then it stretched out its little paws, hooked onto Chen Nian's clothes, and started to climb up with a thud!

"Ouch, my little darling, slow down!"

Xia Qiyue quickly came over to protect her.

Finally, Xue Aotian climbed all the way from Chen Nian's back to the top of his head.

This height finally allowed it to look at a crouching lynx at eye level.

It perched steadily on the father's head, its little head slightly raised, its gaze calmly meeting that of the lynx behind the glass.

A moment!

The 'Waaaaa' account has been taken offline, and the 'Snow Mountain Young Master' account has been logged in!
That small body exuded an undeniable kingly demeanor!
The chat room exploded with excitement!

"Young Master is mighty!!"

"Overwhelmingly powerful! That aura is incredible!"

"Wow, he's so handsome! He's had leadership qualities since he was a child!"

Xia Qiyue also covered her mouth in surprise, her eyes sparkling.

She had never seen Xue Aotian so serious before.

So cute and handsome!
As expected of my young master!

A clear look of surprise flashed in the lynx's golden pupils. It seemed that it had not expected that this little creature would not only be unafraid of it, but also dare to look it in the eye in this way.

interesting!
A dull ache came from the wound in my chest.

After looking at it for a few seconds, it slowly lay down and stopped its confrontational stance.

The lynx's sudden movement made Xue Aotian, who was standing on high ground, think that he had 'won' this battle of momentum!
It immediately stomped its little feet excitedly.

It made a smug little sound.

Dad, look!
I scared it so much it fell flat on its face! Aren't I amazing!

"Yes, yes, you're the best! Come down now, don't fall again!"

Chen Nian affectionately reached out and picked him up.

I glanced at the time; it was lunchtime.

Chen Nian began preparing lunch for the 'guests'.

The lynx's injuries stabilized, and it was able to eat meat, so he specially asked Xu Dafei to send over some fresh, lean meat.

Upon smelling the meat, Xue Aotian immediately began to wriggle restlessly in Chen Nian's arms.

The little nose sniffed hard, and it also clamored for food!

The carnivorous instinct inherent in the bloodline of the King of the Snow Mountains is awakening ahead of schedule.

While other snow leopard cubs don't start trying solid food until they're two months old, Xue Aotian couldn't wait to start in less than a month.

Chen Nian examined its mouth.

When I noticed that the baby tooth had already sprouted a tiny white tip, I smiled and prepared a small dish of carefully chopped minced meat for it as well.

Xue Aotian immediately buried himself in his food and ate with gusto!

Inside the quarantine area, the lynx silently gnawed on its share of meat, inwardly comparing itself to others.

Hmm, the meat is good, but I still think those round little things are tastier.

Meanwhile, Xia Qiyue had also prepared their own lunch.

While eating, Chen Nian watched the live comments, then suddenly remembered something and asked with a smile:

"By the way, what do you guys think would be a good name for this lynx?"

(What name should we choose? We're offering naming rights! Whoever has the best name wins!)
