This White-lipped Bamboo Viper Actually Followed the Streamer Home?

"Why are you here?"

Lin Xuan was also completely baffled by the White-lipped Bamboo Viper's arrival.

The White-lipped Bamboo Viper raised its head, and what seemed like delighted light flickered in its bright black little eyes.

It slithered toward Lin Xuan, reached his feet, then rubbed its head against his foot.

?

"Hiss, hiss~"

It flicked its tongue as it looked at Lin Xuan.

It was as if it were asking why he was not petting it like before.

"Do you want me to keep petting you?"

Lin Xuan slowly crouched down and looked at the White-lipped Bamboo Viper, speaking gently.

Then he reached out and stroked its little head.

He had worn gloves earlier, so he had not felt much. But now that he had taken them off, the White-lipped Bamboo Viper's body felt icy cold beneath his hand.

"Could it be that this snake followed me back because it ate my food?"

"This is where I brought Panda Mother and Panda Cub. It's not a place you should be."

"So I'll pet you for a while, then you should leave."

Like a kitten, the White-lipped Bamboo Viper even lifted its head under Lin Xuan's caresses and nudged his palm.

If it were not venomous, but some other animal, plenty of people would surely like it very much.

After all, no one could resist an animal that could act cute and coquettish.

After hearing Lin Xuan's words, the White-lipped Bamboo Viper shook its head. Then it climbed onto his leg and directly coiled its body around it.

Was this the legendary hugging someone's thigh?

No, it should be thigh-coiling.

The viewers in the livestream room were also dumbfounded by the White-lipped Bamboo Viper.

"What's going on? Is this White-lipped Bamboo Viper wrapping itself around the streamer?"

"Haha, it really is wrapping itself around him."

"Did it become the streamer's snake after eating his food?"

"Little snake, you can't do that! You're a wild animal, and a venomous snake at that. How can you bow your head to food!"

Seeing the White-lipped Bamboo Viper coil around his thigh, Lin Xuan did not know whether to laugh or cry. "Little guy, what are you doing?"

Could it be that this White-lipped Bamboo Viper had developed some sort of feelings for him?

In the worldview of animals, they were not like humans. They were very simple—trust meant trust, and liking meant liking.

"Do you want to come home with me?"

Lin Xuan looked at the White-lipped Bamboo Viper and asked instinctively.

He had originally thought the White-lipped Bamboo Viper would not understand, but to his surprise, the moment he said it, the White-lipped Bamboo Viper gave a slight nod.

"No way, this White-lipped Bamboo Viper is way too intelligent! It can actually understand what the streamer says."

"Panda Mother can understand the streamer too. I'm already getting used to it."

"A White-lipped Bamboo Viper that appears once in a thousand years can understand the streamer? I don't think that's anything surprising."

"Hehe, you only say that because you've gotten too used to the streamer's livestream room."

"If you want to come home with me, then I need to lay down a few rules for you."

Lin Xuan tentatively tried to set some requirements for the White-lipped Bamboo Viper.

"Hiss, hiss!"

"Come up here first. It's hard for me to explain while you're down there."

Lin Xuan held out his hand, signaling for the White-lipped Bamboo Viper to climb onto it.

The little fellow loosened its coils, then crawled onto Lin Xuan's hand. It wrapped the tip of its little tail around his wrist and locked eyes with him using its glossy black eyes.

To be honest, that cool touch was actually quite comfortable in the already somewhat warm weather.

"Panda Mother's family is over there. You can't attack them."

"There's also a Panda Cub in our car. I'll take you over to it later, and you can't attack it either. They're not your food. If you're hungry, I can feed you."

"When I take you home, you can't attack humans either—humans like me."

"For now, that's all."

"Of course, even if you come home with me, I won't keep you confined. You can leave anytime you want."

After saying that, Lin Xuan found himself a little amused.

"Hiss, hiss."

After listening to Lin Xuan, the White-lipped Bamboo Viper nodded in a human-like manner.

"Alright, I'll take you to meet Panda Mother first."

Lin Xuan brought the White-lipped Bamboo Viper to within a meter of Panda Mother.

"This is a White-lipped Bamboo Viper. I've already explained things to it—it won't attack you."

Panda Mother already trusted Lin Xuan. Seeing the venomous snake in his hand, curiously looking around, she felt reassured. As long as Lin Xuan said the White-lipped Bamboo Viper would not attack them, she believed him.

"You stay here with the child for now. I'm going over to check whether your other cub has woken up."

"Squeak Squeak~"

"Come on, little guy. Let's go see the other Panda Cub."

With that, Lin Xuan took the White-lipped Bamboo Viper over to his SUV.

As soon as he arrived, Lin Xuan heard sounds coming from inside the incubator.

When he went over to look, he found that the Panda Cub inside had already woken up and was crawling around the incubator.

"Little guy, get up on the platform first. This Panda Cub is probably hungry, so I'll feed it."

Lin Xuan placed his hand against the platform for the White-lipped Bamboo Viper to crawl onto, then began boiling water for the Panda Cub.

After putting on medical gloves, he opened the incubator and carefully lifted the Panda Cub out with a soft towel.

"Chirp Chirp~~"

The Panda Cub chirped as its little head turned this way and that, as though searching for food.

"Hungry, huh? Wait a moment. Once the water boils, I'll mix you some Milk Powder."

"The streamer is working so hard. There's another child in the house now."

"Yeah, the streamer now has to care not only for the Panda Cub and Panda Mother's family, but also for the White-lipped Bamboo Viper."

"Streamer, how about I help? Let me take care of the Panda Cub."

"The person above, you don't have the streamer's experience. Why not help him take care of that White-lipped Bamboo Viper instead?"

"Uh, forget the White-lipped Bamboo Viper. Snakes are what I'm most afraid of. The moment I see one, I get so scared I start running around everywhere."

The White-lipped Bamboo Viper beside him leaned its head over, curiously looking at the Panda Cub in Lin Xuan's arms.

"Little guy, I'll need to take care of this Panda Cub for a few more days. It isn't your food, alright?"

Hisss.

The White-lipped Bamboo Viper tilted its head, as if saying that it would not eat it—it was only looking.

Soon, the water boiled, and Lin Xuan began preparing Milk Powder for the Panda Cub.

After mixing the Milk Powder, he brought over a folding chair and placed it on the ground. Then he held the Panda Cub and fed it the Milk Powder.

The moment the little fellow caught the scent of the Milk Powder, it stopped crying and fussing, then began suckling on the nipple.

Watching the Panda Cub happily drink its Milk Powder, Lin Xuan wore a smile like that of a proud father.
