Shi Wen looked up and asked, "When is the next time?"

Yan Kexing: "Or, the day after tomorrow?"

Shi Wen immediately nodded. "It's settled, we'll go for mutton offal soup the day after tomorrow."

They slowly finished their mutton soup, packed their things, and prepared to leave.

Heiwa and the others had already finished their mutton offal soup and gone out to graze.

They actually leave home relatively late.

But we're only going to see two tigers today, so it's okay if we go a little later.

Shi Wen and Yan Kexing weighed the mutton and decided to bring twenty catties of mutton, a chicken, and a goose for each tiger. If they brought any more, the tigers wouldn't be able to eat it all, and it would be a waste to leave it for too long. It would be better to bring them more next time.

After Shi Wen the agreement, Shi looked up at Yan Kexing and said, "How about we bring another one for Gong Xuebao? We should be able to drive around there."

Yan Kexing had no objection. "Take it."

Shi Wen then weighed out another twenty catties of mutton. As for chicken and goose, he would have to wait until next time. In any case, the snow leopard's appetite was smaller than that of the tiger, so the food he brought should be enough for it.

They set off in their car, and as usual, first went to Mount Kuyang to see the mother tiger.

They frequently came to see the tigress and knew exactly where her den was.

Upon arriving at the location, they carried the meat directly up the mountain, intending to first place the meat in the tigress's den before going out to find her.

They assumed the tigress wouldn't be there.

Unexpectedly, once outside, they could clearly hear deafening snoring coming from the tigress's den.

Shi Wen for a while, Shi Wen couldn't help but mutter, "My goodness! That tigress's snoring is so powerful, she's sleeping so soundly!"

This guy's snoring was much louder than a typical male's, and you could tell he was huge just by listening to it.

Yan Kexing: "It might be a little tired after going out last night."

Shi Wen, "It's possible."

The two men carried the meat directly into the tigress's den.

The tigress continued snoring, showing no reaction to their arrival.

Perhaps because it is the sole hegemon of this region, it feels very safe and doesn't guard against the outside world, which is why it can be so carefree.

No, it doesn't seem like I'm that carefree.

When the tigress was on their ranch, she slept sprawled out, her belly completely exposed, so they could touch her as much as they wanted.

The tigress is currently sleeping lying down, her long tail wrapped around her lower body. She might jump up at the slightest sign of trouble to defend herself.

Before Shi Wen take another look, the tigress seemed to have realized their presence; her snoring stopped, and she opened her eyes.

In the dim cave, the tigress's eyes, like light bulbs, stared intently at them.

It has to be said that this scene was quite frightening. If they hadn't raised the tigress from a cub to adulthood, they would probably have already adopted a defensive posture by now.

Shi Wen raised it from a kitten and knew it was still half asleep, just staring blankly with its eyes open, so he spoke up, "It's us."

The mother tiger only just realized what was happening, and happily barked, "Woof!"

The tigress pounced, placing her two huge paws on Shi Wen's shoulders, rubbing her large head against Shi Wen, and curiously peering at what he was carrying.

It's only because Shi Wen is currently quite strong that he can support the tigress, who weighs three or four hundred kilograms.

Of course, the fact that he can stand so easily now is also related to the fact that the tigress has placed her center of gravity on her two hind legs that are supporting her weight on the ground.

Shi Wen reached out and rubbed the tigress's cheek. "Stop looking, it's meat I brought for you."

The tigress could already smell the meat, and she barked happily again, "Woof--"

When it gets excited, its cries are exceptionally loud, making Shi Wen's ears ring.

Shi Wen had no choice but to put the meat on the ground and rubbed his ear with his hand.

Yan Kexing smiled and put the meat down as well.

Shi Wen slapped the tigress on the head. "Stop yelling, hurry up and eat."

Mother tiger. "Woof!"

The tigress nuzzled Yan Kexing with her head again before circling around them and going to the front to eat the meat.

Shi Wen and Yan Kexing brought meat that contained bones, but the tigress didn't hesitate at all, crunching the meat and bones together and swallowing them whole.

Shi Wen, "That bite force is terrifying."

Yan Kexing: "It's a large, ferocious beast, after all."

Shi Wen, "Yes, the king at the top of the ecological niche."

The tigress's den was dark and warm, but it smelled a bit bad.

Even though Shi Wen quite liked the tigress, he couldn't stand the smell inside the cave.

He watched for a while, then pulled Yan Kexing outside the cave to wait.

Let's interact with the mother tiger outside the cave; the smell here is really overwhelming.

Shi Wen and Yan Kexing out, the tigress stopped eating and looked up at them.

Two seconds later, the tigress grabbed the meat and ran outside, where she began to eat it right in front of them.

Shi Wen couldn't help but pinch the tigress's cheek. "You little tigress."

The two Hu Zai had been trained with the dogs when they were young, so they weren't very possessive of their food. Shi Wen tugged at their cheeks, they didn't seem to mind and even nudged their cheeks into Shi Wen's palm Shi Wen continuing to slurp their meat.

Shi Wen and Yan Kexing petted the tiger for a while, eventually turning their hands black with grime—this creature looked like a fat, cute orange tabby, but it was actually covered in ash.

After feeding the tigress, the two said goodbye and then went to see the male tiger.

The male tiger wasn't in the cave, but it wasn't far from it either.

They easily spotted the male tiger after they got there.

The male tiger was also pleasantly surprised by their arrival and kept circling around them affectionately.

Compared to female tigers, male tigers' roars are actually more delicate.

Shi Wen couldn't help but touch the two huge tiger testicles. This guy was definitely a male tiger, how could he be so adorable?
