Chapter 54 (continued)
Life on the ranch was quite peaceful until Shi Wen saw a snow leopard appear outside the ranch again.
Judging from its spots, this is the same leopard as before.
The snow leopard Shi Wen suddenly lay down on the spot, Shi Wen, and let out a low meow.
Shi Wen was completely convinced and asked through the barbed wire fence, "Brother, you really don't stand on ceremony with me, do you?"
Snow leopard. "Meow."
Perhaps Shi Wen, the snow leopard meowed a few times outside, paced back and forth a few steps, chose a spot, and then jumped directly over the barbed wire fence.
This guy didn't need a running start or any leverage; he jumped in without making a sound, so light and graceful, completely different from other dogs.
It ran a few steps, got to a spot a few meters away from Shi Wen, and lay down on the spot.
Such a large leopard, lying on its back exposing its belly, its tail almost as long as its body swishing back and forth, its eyes casting a benevolent gaze.
Others Shi Wen not know, but he was completely stunned to see the snow leopard like that.
He parked his motorcycle and tentatively approached the snow leopard.
The snow leopard not only didn't avoid him, but also twisted its body, hooked its front paws, and exposed its chest and abdomen.
Its enormous testicles were exposed to the sunlight, as were the soft fur on its chest and abdomen.
Unable to resist the temptation, Shi Wen reached out and gently touched the snow leopard's chest.
The snow leopard's chest fur is soft and thick, with a wonderful feel, which contrasts with its muscular chest.
Shi Wen that he pets his cats, dogs, and Hu Zai. His cats, dogs, and Hu Zai are all well-developed muscles, much stronger than pet cats and dogs.
No matter how strong it is, it's no match for this snow leopard that has fought its way up in the wild.
The snow leopard's muscles are so muscular they're practically stretchy, firm yet incredibly elastic, and warm to the touch—they feel absolutely wonderful.
Shi Wen squatted there, touching the snow leopard's chest, then its belly, and finally its long tail, while also stroking its furry testicles.
I must say, the snow leopard feels amazing to the touch, and it's incredibly cooperative; you can Shi Wen it and touch it however you like.
Shi Wen 've never enjoyed petting small animals so much before.
The snow leopard seemed to be enjoying being petted, squinting its eyes in the sunlight and making soft purring sounds; it was almost asleep.
Shi Wen gently stroked its thick ears, sighed, and said, "What do you, a snow leopard, want from me all the time?"
Snow leopard. "Meow."
Shi Wen, "We don't have any sheep or pigs slaughtered at home right now, otherwise we could feed you some meat. Never mind, we'll wait until you come next time. Next time you come, we'll slaughter a whole sheep for you and give you half of it."
The snow leopard squinted its eyes, continued purring, and stretched out its two hind legs, displaying an open chest.
Shi Wen took out his phone and called Zhou Hongzhong: "Captain Zhou-- "
"I know," Zhou Hongzhong interrupted him, saying, "The snow leopard went to your place again, didn't it? We received a notification."
The snow leopard was wearing a tracking ring, and Zhou Hongzhong received a notification when it left its territory and came down the mountain.
This is also for the sake of harmonious coexistence between humans and wild animals. Otherwise, if it keeps coming down from the mountain and catches livestock or injures people, things will become difficult.
Upon Shi Wen that they knew, Shi Wen didn't say anything more, "Then come over here."
Zhou Hongzhong: "Wait a moment, we'll hurry. We're currently on a mission outside, a bit far from where you are."
Shi Wen glanced at the snow leopard that was almost asleep under his command and replied, "No rush, you guys go ahead with your work. Just call me when you arrive."
Zhou Hongzhong and his group didn't arrive so quickly. Shi Wen, having nothing to do, simply sunbathed with Xue Bao and chatted with her boyfriend via text message.
Shi Wen:

Shi Wen took a few pictures, but wasn't satisfied, so he pinched the snow leopard's big paws, gestured with its paw pads, and took a few more pictures of Yan Kexing.
Snow leopards aren't considered large among big cats, yet Shi Wen compare a hand to a snow leopard's paw, the two are surprisingly about the same size.
This shows how ferocious this snow leopard is.
Yan Kexing quickly replied: [Were the livestock and Heiwa hurt?]
Shi Wen: [No, I guess they came specifically to ambush me. I also called Captain Zhou over, and they took it away in a bit.]
Yan Kexing: [It might have a special connection with the Qilin, always trying to come down and find you.]
Shi Wen: [I think so too, but it's also possible it's simply for the food. Being kept by humans is too good; it's much better than having to work hard to find food on its own.]
Yan Kexing: [Possibly. If we catch it this time, we'll probably send it to the zoo for a while, and then release it back in the spring.]
Shi Wen down at the snow leopard beneath him; the creature was already asleep, and sleeping very soundly.
I wonder if being taken to the zoo was its goal?
If so, its goal will be achieved soon.
Shi Wen touched the snow leopard's ear again.
The snow leopard's ear twitched slightly in his hand.
Shi Wen said to Yan Kexing, "[I'm quite reluctant to take it to the zoo.]"
Yan Kexing: [It's alright, we'll release it back in a few months. There might not be enough food up in the mountains, that's why it keeps trying to run down.]
Shi Wen: [No wonder! It might be trying to be lazy and not want to find food itself, but instead enjoy being fed by humans.]
Yan Kexing: [Then it will have to pay a small price.]
Shi Wen's spirits lifted. "[What's the price? Cooperation with scientific research?]"
Yan Kexing: [Probably for breeding.]
Shi Wen looked at this line of text, then at the snow leopards under his command, and suddenly thought of the breeding sheep that had become thinner from exhaustion during the autumn mating season.
This guy is probably going to have a tough time for a while.
