Chapter 203 (continued)

Shi Wen reached out and put her arm around Yan Kexing's shoulder. "Ah!"

Yan Kexing landed firmly on the ground and said, "A smooth landing."

Shi Wen, "You startled me! You're so skilled!"

Yan Kexing: "Instinctive behavior. Give me the clothes."

Shi Wen quickly pulled the backpack to his chest and took out his clothes. "Are you cold?"

It's quite windy here, and the altitude is high, so the temperature is low. It must be cold standing on the ground.

Yan Kexing: "It's alright, I'm not cold."

Shi Wen shoved the clothes into Yan Kexing, then quickly took out his shoes and socks. "Put these on first, I'll help you."

As the two were talking, the snow leopard saw the familiar Yan Kexing and finally lowered its guard, dragging the deer towards them, almost tripping over the deer in the process.

Even a fawn is too big for a snow leopard.

Shi Wen at it, Shi Wen exclaimed with emotion, "Truly, our family's leopard has grown up!"

Yan Kexing: "You can safely take it to the park now."

Shi Wen, "I'm relieved."

The snow leopard didn't eat much of the deer it caught, but Shi Wen certain that the deer possesses the ability to survive in the wild.

It was getting late, and they couldn't linger on the mountain any longer, so they started their descent.

The snow leopard remained excited, running around them.

Shi Wen glanced back and asked, "I wonder if it would be easier for it to hunt in the protected area?"

Yan Kexing: "Definitely. There are more wild animals in the reserve, so hunting should be less difficult."

Shi Wen then looked at the deer they had left behind. "What a pity for this deer; in the end, not much of it was eaten."

Yan Kexing pulled Shi Wen down the aisle, saying, "It's no pity. There are so many carnivores and scavengers waiting to pick up the scraps. It won't go to waste."

They returned to the ranch, where the ranch's little creatures ran to greet them.

Shi Wen lowered his head and stroked the White Tiger that had run to his feet, then returned to the main courtyard surrounded by the little guys.

Sitting in the big recliner at home, Shi Wen sigh and say, "Home is the most comfortable place."

After resting for a while, Shi Wen took out his phone and contacted the leaders of Sanjiangyuan Park, saying that they were ready and could send the snow leopard over at any time.

Even on their day off, the park's management responded instantly and finalized the arrangement with them to send the snow leopard over on Wednesday.

The reason it was Wednesday instead of Monday was because Shi Wen was a little reluctant to part with the snow leopard and wanted to keep it for two more days.

Time flew by, and on Wednesday, Yan Kexing took the day off. The two of them drove the snow leopard to the park.

The park's leaders were waiting for them at the reception area.

Upon seeing the snow leopard, the leader couldn't help but exclaim, "This snow leopard is in excellent condition; I haven't seen one in so many years!"

Shi Wen, "Its condition is indeed good. It hasn't reached its peak yet, but its combat power is already very strong."

The leader chuckled, "I can tell its eyes are different from those of ordinary wild beasts. Shall we take it for a medical check-up first, and then release it onto the mountain?"

Shi Wen and Yan Kexing had no objections.

After the physical examination was over, Shi Wen squatted down to say goodbye to the snow leopard.

The snow leopard let out a soft growl and looked at Shi Wen and Yan Kexing from inside the cage.

Shi Wen said to it, "We're going back now. Live well in this reserve, and we'll come to see you again next time."

The snow leopard stared at Shi Wen and growled softly, "Woof!"

Upon Shi Wen that slight accent, Shi Wen couldn't help but burst out laughing, "Well then, little snow leopard, goodbye."

The park officials tried to persuade them to stay, "Would you like to take a stroll around the reserve? The brown bear you brought last time might remember you."

Shi Wen laughed and said, "If it really remembers us, it might seek revenge."

Leader: "That's not necessarily true. Maybe it's very satisfied with its current life and sees you all like old friends?"

Shi Wen his hand and said, "Let's not go for it. Next time we come to see the snow leopards, we can do this stroll around while we're at it."

Shi Wen and Yan Kexing didn't linger there and quickly drove back.

They had just left the reserve and hadn't even gotten on the highway when Zhu Ji, having received the news, called, "Brother Shi, would you like to raise another furry pet?"

Shi Wen politely said over the phone, "I really don't want to, Brother Zhu. Please have some decency. We just saw off Snow Leopard and are still grieving."

Zhu Ji clicked his tongue. "What's there to be sad about? You took the cub out of the male snow leopard's mouth, raised this cub that the mother had abandoned until it could live independently, and even sent it to live in a nature reserve. Isn't that wonderful?"

Zhu Ji: "Besides, transportation is so convenient now. You can go see it anytime you want. It has a GPS chip, so you don't have to worry about not finding it. If you want, you can go see it three times a week."

Shi Wen laughed, "Checking on it three times a week really isn't enough, I don't have that much time. What kind of furry pet do you want me to raise over there?"

Zhu Ji: "How about raising a red-crowned crane?"

Shi Wen, "What? Red-crowned cranes? There aren't any red-crowned cranes around here, are there?"

Zhu Ji: "The climate and other conditions are suitable, but it's indeed quite rare here."

Shi Wen, "Then why did you think of sending them to us to raise?"

Zhu Ji: "Those red-crowned cranes are Variant Birds. Your little ones all have pretty good Abilities. The leaders at the Abnormal Affairs Bureau are envious and are wondering if you could raise another red-crowned crane and train it for them."

Shi Wen and then declined. "Really, forget it. I have an advantage in raising mammals, but I'm only so-so when it comes to poultry. Besides, there's Chasing Clouds on the ranch. It's a bird of prey, and it wouldn't be good if it hurt the red-crowned cranes."

Zhu Ji: "Alright, I'll politely decline. If the red-crowned cranes aren't an option, are you interested in other fluffy creatures?"

Shi Wen declined, saying, "Not at the moment. There's a lot going on at the ranch lately. We have to take care of the sheep and piglets, as well as the pregnant sows. Plus, we need to prepare for this year's cattle and sheep fattening. We're too busy."
