CHAPTER 358: CHAPTER 358: KITTY, DON’T RUN

At lunchtime, Tuanzi couldn’t hold back and flew in the direction of Si Huai’s group with her own dry rations. Halfway there, she stopped and casually found a tree trunk to rest her feet.

"Sigh, I want to go, but I can’t, so frustrating, even eating isn’t enjoyable."

She said while taking a bite of an apple, munching with relish.

Seeing her honest eating actions, the system guessed the host was just feeling down, so it didn’t say much, only reminded her with a line.

[Ancient Martial System: Where did your attention go?]

Tuanzi paused, then turned her head to see a big cat lying on the tree trunk, lazily sleeping. Noticing her gaze, it glanced at her and then continued to sleep.

[Miaomiao: I’ve already noticed there’s a leopard here]

She stated confidently, and the system couldn’t judge true or false. Logically, with the host’s strength, it was absolutely impossible to ignore such a big leopard.

This leopard has quite a heart too, with humans sitting nearby ’crunching’ apples, yet it remains indifferent?

Does it think Tuanzi is not a threat, or is it intimidated by Tuanzi?

Seeing the leopard neither run nor attack, Tuanzi approached with a smile, pushing the half-eaten apple towards it, "Do you want to eat it?"

The leopard opened its eyes to glance at her again and then closed them.

"Alright, I’ll eat it myself then."

Tuanzi gobbled up the apple, and when she finished, seeing her hands full of apple juice, she slyly reached out and wiped them on its furry tail.

[Ancient Martial System: ...]

The leopard instantly opened its eyes, its tail twitching.

Soon enough, it hugged its tail to groom it, its elegant feline eyes staring at Tuanzi intently.

Tuanzi raised her hand, "It wasn’t me!"

Tuanzi giggled, "Ah, meeting is fate, how about chatting with me?"

Thick-skinned, she leaned in closer, starting to mutter about her damned curiosity and uncontainable sense of justice.

"I really want to go over and help, but I’m afraid of messing things up. Besides, though I look small, I’m working. Just out for a breather, otherwise, I’d have a camera on my head. Have you ever seen a camera?"

The leopard was lulled into drowsiness by her chatter.

Tuanzi seized the opportunity to hug it, stroking its smooth fur.

The feel was really nice!

The leopard suddenly opened its big mouth. Tuanzi also opened her mouth.

Man and leopard faced off for a moment, then the leopard closed its mouth, ready to sleep.

Apparently, the human child didn’t intend to let it go, hugging it and regularly chattering.

The leopard’s life was uneasy.

The leopard impatiently flicked its tail and finally broke free, leaping to another tree.

Just about to settle down to rest when there was a child next to it.

Its feline eyes reflected Tuanzi’s smiling little face, "Ah, what a coincidence, I know Qinggong too."

Leopard: "..."

[Ancient Martial System: Aren’t you afraid it will attack you?]

It summed up the situation, feeling that the leopard must be well-fed, making it particularly talkative. Of course, it probably also recognized the host had some prowess.

The animal world always follows its instincts.

The leopard could only jump to the ground and dart straight into the deeper bushes.

Having lived this long, it never thought one day, while eating and sleeping in its territory, it would be disturbed by a human.

Usually, when encountering humans, they all stay far away from it.

The leopard was fast, but Tuanzi wasn’t slow either, continually using Qinggong to follow it, "Don’t run, chat with Miaomiao, she’s really bored right now."

The leopard silently continued running.

Tuanzi could only chase.

The system thought, if someone captured this scene, they’d probably question reality.

It’s always been leopards chasing humans, who ever heard of humans chasing leopards?

And this well-fed leopard is so good, it doesn’t even act fiercely towards the host like this.

Tuanzi felt like she was playing a game with her senior brother, unconsciously getting excited, chasing the leopard far out, with the scenery around her changing again and again.

Seeing the leopard dart out from the grass, she was just about to dart out too, when she heard a human voice.

"Hey, isn’t that a leopard? Why is it running?"

"It’s running quite fast, is it being chased by something even more formidable?" said another voice.

"No way, a leopard is a predator on this mountain, pretty high up on the food chain."

Tuanzi shrank her neck, not daring to run out. If caught, she’d definitely get disciplined.

Plus, it seemed she had run too far, and if she didn’t head back soon, her brother would call.

Just as she thought of her brother, the phone rang.

"Who’s there?" The voice was particularly serious, accompanied by footsteps.

Holding the phone, Tuanzi was momentarily unsure whether to run or answer.

[Ancient Martial System: There’s no need to run, haven’t you realized where you’ve chased the leopard to?]

[Miaomiao: Ah]

Tuanzi innocuously tilted her head.

By this time, several people had already rushed over.

Seeing a cute and charming little girl, they were momentarily stunned.

"Little sister, how are you here, have you lost your family?"

Tuanzi quietly shifted a little step backwards.

She’d already recognized this person, one of those who came up the mountain to handle a case before, probably from Yun City.

Chasing the leopard had made her forget herself, she ended up running to her cousin.

Tuanzi felt she was really wronged, she really didn’t come here on purpose!

But, since she was here.

Just then, Si Huai also came over, seeing her, he asked curiously, "Are you guys filming the show here this episode?"

Tuanzi nodded quickly.

"Yes, yes, yes!"

Si Huai: "Did you get separated from the others?"

Tuanzi sheepishly looked around, then whispered, "I chased after that big cat to arrive here, not because I got separated."

"Big cat?"

Si Huai realized, "Was it that leopard just now? It’s avoiding you?"

Tuanzi felt even guiltier.

"We, we were playing a game called ’Tag You’re It’."

Si Huai: "..."

The others realized, looking at Tuanzi in amazement.

One of them patted his head, "I remember now, aren’t you that popular Little Heroine Gu Miaomiao? I remember she often acts bravely and has received many banners."

Tuanzi immediately puffed up her chest proudly, casting an appreciative glance at that person.

This person, has an eye for talent!

After some communication and understanding, they knew Tuanzi’s presence there was a misunderstanding, not some suspicious character, so they let her leave.

Si Huai: "Where are they, I’ll take you to them."

Tuanzi quickly waved her hands, "No need, no need, they’re really far away."

She could use Qinggong, while her cousin could only use his long legs, by the time he took her there and came back, an hour would have passed.

The phone kept ringing, after declining Si Huai, Tuanzi had no choice but to answer.

With a cousin present who seemed to see through people, she didn’t dare to lie, and sheepishly explained she chased the big cat and ended up at Si Huai’s place.

"Big brother, you must believe Miaomiao, Miaomiao didn’t come here on purpose, even though she really really wanted to help..."

She quickly glanced at Si Huai, using the opportunity to express her intention, "Miaomiao knows not to mess things up, she’ll head back soon."

Gu Cheng: "..." Even over the phone, he could hear his sister’s little scheme being hatched.

Being there was likely unintentional. However, his sister was indeed adept at taking advantage of opportunities to climb higher. Not sure from whom she learned this cunning streak.
