Chapter 2607 Fantastic Beasts in the Garden 13
Qiao Mai couldn't help but raise his mobile phone, watching the whole video he had just taken over and over again, and asked Bai Rending excitedly.
"Director, this video is amazing! Should we post it on our official zoo account? It's sure to go viral!"
Bai Rendong looked at the little white lion, who was surrounded by stars and licking his paws gracefully. He thought for a moment and shook his head.
"Let's save it for now. Little White Jade is too special and is not suitable for overexposure for the time being."
A system prompt sounded in Jinchen's mind.
[Side Quest 1: Subdue an existing animal in the zoo and make it your subordinate (7/?)]
[Rewards: Healing Demon Power (Intermediate), Human Communication (Intermediate), Attack Demon Power (Elementary), 200 million zoo operating funds (already deposited into the zoo director's account through legal channels)]
Jinchen counted the animals below, "Just now, there were clearly six new animals calling me Boss."
Ling Gun Gun explained: "The pigeons only have a tiny bit of demonic power, and they're a pair, so it makes sense to count them as one."
Jinchen: [……] Okay.
The little white lion licked his paws, stopped caring, turned around and stretched out his front paws towards Honeysuckle, making soft humming sounds, asking for a hug.
Bai Rendong hurried over, carefully picked up the little white lion from Hu Gu's head, held it tightly in his arms, put his cheek against its warm and soft fur, and whispered praise.
"Thank you for your hard work, baby. You did a great job."
"roar~"
It wasn’t very hard.
The little white lion licked its paws and rubbed Bai Rendong's face.
He looks like a calm and composed boss.
Half an hour later, the hard-working little white lion got a bowl of milk that was one size larger than usual.
There are also fine animal foods and high-quality raw minced meat prepared by Bai Rendong himself.
But Jinchen took a bite and pushed it away with his paw in disgust.
"Berber,"
Bai Rendong heard the boy's voice being picky and coquettish, "I want to eat it cooked, this one is too fishy."
Bai Rendong naturally let him do as he pleased and went to the small kitchen to carefully cook the minced meat into a fragrant cooked meat paste.
The little white lion was very satisfied with the meal this time, with his head almost buried in the bowl. After eating, he rubbed his face carefully, and then threw himself into Bai Rendong's arms to rub against him.
Just then, there was a knock on the office door.
Su Ning walked in wearing work clothes. "Director, the new cages and activity areas in the lion enclosure have been arranged and arranged according to the requirements. The ventilation and warmth have been checked. Do you want to take the little lion over to take a look and familiarize yourself with the environment?"
Bai Rendong was stunned when he heard this, and subconsciously lowered his head to look at the little white lion in his arms that was rubbing against his fingers and acting coquettishly.
Should I...let it live alone in the lion park?
Living alone? That's absolutely impossible.
As soon as Jinchen heard Su Ning's words, his ears immediately pricked up in alertness.
The body that was originally lazily lying in Bai Rendong's arms also straightened up, raised his little head, looked at Bai Rendong without blinking, and a wronged whimpering sound came from his throat, which was so thin and weak that it made people feel distressed when they heard it.
The little white lion stretched out its two front paws, tightly grasped Bai Rendong's collar, and tried to get close to his face, insisting on looking him in the eye, with wetness in its bright golden eyes.
"Baibai," the boy's clear voice trembled a little and sounded directly in Bai Rendeng's mind.
"Are you going to let me sleep alone? Are you going to let another keeper feed me? Are you going to...care for other animals and ignore me from now on?"
These three sentences are more aggrieved and more heart-wrenching than the last.
Even the coldest heart would soften after hearing this, let alone Bai Rendong, who had no bottom line towards this little lion.
He felt as if the tip of his heart was scratched by a little lion's claws, sore and tender. He quickly denied it, his voice extremely soft, "No, no, how could it be? Baby, don't think too much."
As he spoke, he gently rubbed the little white lion's soft and warm belly with his hands, trying to soothe its anxiety.
Then, he raised his head and said to Su Ning, who was still standing at the door, "The Lion Park... leave it vacant for a while. Thoroughly disinfect and ventilate it. There's no rush to use it."
Suning looked at the headmaster, who seemed to want to hide the little baby in his pocket. He knew what was going on clearly.
He smiled and nodded obediently: "Okay, I understand. If there is nothing else, I will go and get busy first."
He couldn't get any favor from the little lion anyway, so he was happy not to have to take care of it and save himself the trouble and effort.
After Su Ning left, Bai Rendong lowered his head again and nuzzled the tip of his nose against the little white lion's pink nose. "Okay, what I said just now doesn't count. Baby, you can live wherever you want and for as long as you want, okay?"
Jinchen then purred in satisfaction and collapsed back into his arms, the tip of his tail wagging slightly in pleasure, and he nudged Bai Rendong's chin with his head.
[The villain's heart rate is detected +10, totaling 16! 】
At night, after washing up.
Bai Rendong used a warm, wet towel to carefully wipe the little white lion, who had worked hard to recruit little brothers during the day, from head to toe, especially its four paws and face that was stained with some meat. They were all wiped clean and smelled fragrant.
The little white lion, who had eaten and drunk his fill and been comfortably served, was so sleepy that his eyes were narrowed into slits and he walked unsteadily, almost with his eyes closed. He instinctively plunged into the soft quilt, skillfully found his usual place, curled himself up into a ball, and was about to go to sleep.
Bai Rendong found it funny, so he also lifted the quilt and lay down in it, holding the warm little body in his arms as usual.
The little lion spontaneously found a comfortable position on his chest, resting its head on his arm and purring contentedly.
Bai Rendong gently stroked the increasingly thick and soft hair on the little white lion's back, subconsciously measured the little guy's size with his palm, and recalled how it looked when he first picked it up two days ago.
"Hmm?" He couldn't help but let out a puzzled sound, muttering to himself, "Strange... baby, why do you seem to have grown up a lot?"
He was sure he was right.
Lion and tiger cubs do grow very fast with adequate nutrition, but the little guy in my arms has grown visibly larger in just two or three days. It has become heavier in my hands, and its fur has faded, gradually revealing the texture of its short silver-white hair.
The growth rate still surprised him.
The little white lion rubbed against his arms, its fluffy tail lazily brushing against his wrist, and the tips of its ears twitched.
The young man's voice, a little lazy and sleepy, sounded immediately.
"Because I wasn't a real cub to begin with, I just became smaller temporarily."
Bai Rendong suddenly realized: "So that's how it is..."
No wonder he is so smart and understands human nature.
At this moment, the little white lion suddenly raised its upper body, placed its two front paws on Bai Rendong's chest, put its furry face close to his face, stretched out its pink tongue with tiny barbs, and licked the tip of his nose.
"Does Bo Bo only like me when I was a cub? When I grow up, I become too big and not cute anymore."
"You don't like it anymore? You won't hug me anymore?"
Bai Rendong: “…”
Bai Rendong hugged the little lion that came over to him into his arms, lowered his head and rubbed his cheek against his warm and soft fur.
"Of course not," he said confidently, "I like babies no matter what they look like. They're cute when they're little, and they'll definitely be majestic and handsome when they grow up. I like them no matter what."
Bai Rendong even began to imagine what this little guy would look like when he grew up, how agile and majestic he would be, and how snow-white his whole body would be.
It must be the most beautiful lion in the world.
He gently rubbed the base of the little white lion's ears, his tone full of anticipation, "When you grow up, I will prepare a bigger and more comfortable nest for you, take you to a bigger playground to run and jump, and eat more delicious meat."
"That's what you said."
Jin Chen said this when he realized that his demonic power was gradually increasing and he would soon be able to transform into a human form freely.
He is really looking forward to it.
