Jun Qi was very satisfied with Xu Qiaoqiao's reaction. He squinted his eyes with pleasure, bent his neck, brought his head close to her side, and gently kissed her cheek, while the whiskers around his mouth twitched slightly.

Then the actions they had just performed before setting off were repeated. Xu Qiaoqiao lay steadily on Jun Qi's back, while the big cat carried the alien carp and walked into the depths of the rainforest.

Out of caution, if he were still living alone, he would eat anytime, anywhere, and eat whatever food he could find.

But things are different now; he has a little burden to carry on his shoulders.

He didn't care about his injury, as he would recover quickly anyway. He learned this from his jaguar mother, who said that all the traits of their species were the same, and if you felt that you were different in any way, then you must have seen too little.

Therefore, Jun Qi knew from a young age that he had good healing abilities, and by extension, all jaguar species were this powerful, with wounds healing very quickly.

The little guy was different; he was so small and so fragile, making soft whimpering sounds from time to time. His innocent, wet black eyes instantly softened his heart.

Even though it was only their first meeting last night, it felt like they had known each other for a long time.

Jun Qi didn't know when or how this illusion started, but he liked the feeling.

Thinking of this, Jun Qi's green eyes gleamed, he licked his lips, and continued walking forward with measured steps.

Finally, they returned to the place where they had slept the night before. Jun Qi let go, and the big fish fell to the ground. As Jun Qi lowered his body, Xu Qiaoqiao nimbly climbed off his back.

Then the two of them started to divide the fish.

Jun Qi placed one paw on the big fish and the other paw on its tail. He lowered his head and began to tear off the fattest part of the fish and placed it in front of Xu Qiaoqiao.

"Eek?" Xu Qiaoqiao looked up at him, and after a few seconds, she understood what Jun Qi meant.

Xu Qiaoqiao looked down at the piece of fish meat. There was a lot of meat, obviously the fattest part of the big fish. She was very touched and happy. However, Xu Qiaoqiao still shook her head and pushed the fat fish meat towards Jun Qi. "You eat it. You caught this fish. You eat it."

Jun Qi tilted his head in confusion. He looked at the little guy and made a puzzled "chirp," his eyes seeming to say: Don't you like eating fish?

Hmm... no, I like it.

Xu Qiaoqiao looked at Jun Qi with her clear eyes, then shook her head.

Jun Qi was even more confused. "Then why are you pushing it towards me?"

He reached out his paw and patted Xu Qiaoqiao's head, his eyes filled with obvious confusion. Why wasn't she eating? The big fish that had just been caught was very fresh; he had eaten it many times before, and it was delicious.

Xu Qiaoqiao obediently rubbed against his paws, then leaned in and kissed the big cat's mouth. Her smiling eyes seemed to say: I'm fine, you eat first.

Hunting must be tiring, so I don't mind eating the fish tail.

Jun Qi still didn't understand Xu Qiaoqiao's meaning. He imitated Xu Qiaoqiao's previous action, pushed the piece of fish towards her, and then immediately jumped away, taking his own piece of fish and retreating several meters away.

You can eat it, I won't fight you for it. Look, I have such a big fish.

Jun Qi raised the large fish he was holding in his mouth at Xu Qiaoqiao.

"..." Xu Qiaoqiao smiled helplessly, looking at the big cat that had already started eating, she felt warm inside. She took the piece of succulent fish, took a bite, and glanced at the big cat.

It took her a long time to eat such a small piece of fish.

After Jun Qi ran away, he kept his head down and ate. The little bit of food he ate last night had long been digested after a night, and his stomach had been rumbling since he woke up.

The little guy is tiny and doesn't eat much.

Although he didn't know why the little guy was pushing the food toward him, even though his eyes looked so eager and he really wanted to eat, Jun Qi snorted and continued eating.

That won't fool him.

Let the little guy eat whatever he wants; there's no need to pretend in front of him.

As Junqi pondered this, he flicked his tail a few times, feeling that this fish tasted much better than before.

The light drizzle hadn't stopped and looked like it was going to get heavier. After Jun Qi finished eating the big fish, he licked his paws clean and wiped the blood from his lips before walking over to Xu Qiaoqiao.

"Chirp chirp".

Xu Qiaoqiao had finished eating the fish and was lying there, rubbing her slightly bulging belly with a satisfied look in her eyes, when suddenly a large shadow appeared in front of her.

Then, Xu Qiaoqiao heard Jun Qi's voice again, blinked innocently, and suppressed her urge to laugh.

Why does this fierce, big creature make the same sound as when I was a hedgehog? It doesn't match at all.

Xu Qiaoqiao opened her claws toward Jun Qi, and he naturally lowered his head. The tacit understanding between them was obvious; they could understand each other's meaning with just one gesture.

"Aww." Xu Qiaoqiao finally got her wish and hugged the big cat's head. It was so fluffy that she buried her face in it and rubbed against it affectionately several times. Jun Qi also lay down on the spot.

She snuggled against the little one a few times and made whimpering sounds.

Now that they had both filled their bellies, they lazily rubbed against each other's fur, and Xu Qiaoqiao blinked.

After a while, it gradually got dark, but there was still a little light. Jun Qi licked Xu Qiaoqiao's head and called out to her several times. It was time for him to patrol his territory. He had slept until the afternoon today, which took a lot of time.

"Waaaaah?"

Xu Qiaoqiao looked at Jun Qi, then at the sky above. The sky had darkened without her noticing. Ah, is Jun Jun going on patrol now?

Inspecting their own territory.

It seems that large, solitary predators like them all exhibit this behavior. When Junjun was a wolf or a tiger, he had this awareness: marking out his territory and then patrolling it, because in their eyes, it was their home.

This is their territory, and if any unfamiliar presence appears, they must promptly disperse them.

Xu Qiaoqiao jumped up, hugged Jun Qi's thick calves, rubbed against him a few times, and stared at him with her bright eyes: I want to go too!

It wasn't just because she didn't want to be separated; it was because there were many dangerous animals in the rainforest, and it would be safer for her to stay with Junjun.
