Chapter 413 The Obedient Pallas's Cat, and the Big Fat Cat Again

The donkey cart swayed and wobbled, carrying the three of them to a small earthen mound.

At this moment, the small hill was covered with snow and full of caves of varying sizes, which looked quite amazing.

"Whoa~"

Lu Fangfang, supporting herself on the donkey's rump, got off the donkey cart.

Xiuxiu quickly went down to help her sister.

Looking at the desolate little mound, she was a little puzzled. "Sister, what are we here to see? There's nothing here."

"No, it's lively here; it's not like there's nothing here."

Lu Fangfang made Xiuxiu let go of her hand.

Today she was wearing her new yellow boots. The snow on the grass wasn't thick, and she was wearing many layers of clothing, so she wasn't afraid of falling.

When she reached the earthen slope, she squatted down and looked into the cave, then waved to Xiuxiu.

"Sis, what kind of burrow is this? Is it a rabbit's?"

Xiuxiu huddled close to her sister, peering curiously into the cave.

She felt that the burrows on the small hill were very similar to the rabbit burrows on the mountain in her hometown, except that rabbit burrows only had one or two entrances and were not so densely packed.

"This isn't a rabbit hole; it's a groundhog burrow. They're hibernating underground right now."

As she spoke, Lu Fangfang stood up and looked around again.

This small hill has many burrows belonging to a family of marmots. Right now, the marmots in the family are all sleeping in burrows that are two or three meters underground.

They will only wake up when spring arrives and the flowers bloom next year.

They had collected a lot of withered grass before; it must be very warm in the underground world. She was a little envious just thinking about it.

"Sis, what's a groundhog? Is it a mouse?"

Xiuxiu was stumped by her question.

After thinking for a moment, she shook her head and said, "It's not a rat, it's a kind of... well, a very large rodent, the heaviest of which weighs more than 20 kilograms."

"A rat weighing over twenty pounds?"

Xiuxiu was shocked; how terrifying could this be?

...

On the donkey cart, Zhang Honghua saw the two sisters chatting excitedly over a desolate little hill, and she was furious.

She's starting to figure it out. Lu Fangfang definitely brought her here on purpose, wanting to teach her a lesson so she'd be more obedient in the future.

She was seething with hatred. She turned around and saw the snow leopard squatting behind the donkey cart, staring at her without even blinking.

Looking ahead, she saw that stinky donkey tilting its head, looking at her with good intentions without suspicion. She was now in a real dilemma.

After a while, Zhang Honghua couldn't stand it anymore. She pitifully cried out, "Sister Fangfang, let's go. What's so interesting about this dirt slope? It's too cold."

Lu Fangfang ignored Zhang Honghua and returned to the donkey cart with Xiuxiu after a while.

She didn't plan to go back; instead, she patted the little wild donkey and headed towards the cat tyrant's territory.

The Cat King's territory is in the far east, where the terrain is lower and the most snow blown into the grasslands, covering a lot of wild grass.

As soon as the donkey cart arrived at this area, Xiuxiu discovered something interesting.

She lowered her voice and exclaimed excitedly, "Sister, a cat! Look, there's a cat on that patch of snow!"

Lu Fangfang patted Xiuxiu to calm her down.

"This is no ordinary cat, it's a Pallas's cat, a feline overlord. I've always wanted to have one, but I've never had the chance."

She squinted and looked into the distance.

The female Pallas's cat was hunting. She crouched low and slowly approached a pika.

The snow blowing across the grasslands made it difficult for the female Pallas's rabbit to hunt.

After taking a few more steps, it couldn't help but shake its hind legs, which were a little numb from the cold.

bass!

The pika, which was munching on wild grass, turned around and quickly darted into its burrow.

Cat Tyrant: "..."

With its hind legs still in mid-air, it saw the pika run away, so it could only shake itself again before quickly running to the pika's burrow.

It peered into the cave, looking somewhat dejected, and meowed.

"Meow...woo?"

The female Pallas's rabbit spotted a group of people on a donkey cart in the distance.

Upon seeing the familiar white donkey, Cat Overlord was not wary, but rather somewhat embarrassed.

Meow~

Meow~

After casually calling out twice, the cat tyrant squatted in front of the rabbit hole and yawned, pretending to be very relaxed.

After a while, seeing that the people on the donkey cart were still staring at him, Cat Tyrant couldn't help but shake his foot again.

The first snow on the grassland made it somewhat unaccustomed.

With its tail bent in front of it, the cat tyrant raised its four furry little paws and stepped directly on its own tail.

It was only after being isolated from the thick layer of snow that it became more comfortable.

It glanced casually into the distance, then yawned, appearing unusually docile.

Cold feet

"Wow... Sis, look!"

Xiuxiu was completely charmed by the appearance of the female Pallas's rabbit.

So cute!!!

Lu Fangfang looked at it and found it quite amusing.

She had witnessed the ferocity of the female Pallas's rabbit firsthand; she was truly the tyrant of the cat world, exceptionally fierce, and just looking at her face, she was even more menacing than Little Flower.

"Xiuxiu, don't be fooled by it. Pallas's cats are very irritable and fierce. The little yellow dog was bitten by it. If your brother-in-law and I hadn't arrived in time, the little yellow dog would have been killed by it."

"ah?"

Xiuxiu was very shocked.

She looked back at the little Tibetan fox, then at the mother Pallas's rabbit in the distance, still somewhat incredulous.

Is such a well-behaved cat really as ferocious as you described?

"Meow~"

In the distance, Cat Tyrant couldn't wait any longer.

Seeing that the people on the donkey cart were still staring at it, it shook its leg and prepared to go back into the cave.

It's too cold today, and a few more two-legged creatures have come. It doesn't want to hunt anymore; it just wants to go back as soon as possible.
