Xu Qiaoqiao carefully clung to Jun Qi's back to keep herself from slipping off. She looked at the river, which was now much shallower, and the mud on the bank was still very wet. If she fell in, she would be covered in mud.

"Waaaaah."

This is clearly not good news for the animals that inhabit the riverbeds. Their hiding places are gradually shrinking, which also indicates that the situation between them and predators is becoming increasingly intense.

There were also piranhas in the water. These fish had a set of fierce teeth. When Jun Qi caught them, Xu Qiaoqiao saw their mouths opening and closing, their emotionless eyes bulging slightly, and their tails no longer thrashing.

In addition, there are crocodiles.

Fortunately, the animal he was dressed up as this time was really superior, at least for Jun Qi. Although it is said that one is invincible only after reaching adulthood, Jun Qi is different. He is already very powerful in his pre-adult stage.

Jun Qi carefully crawled to the water's edge. The icy river water submerged his legs and below. He turned his head and howled at Xu Qiaoqiao, rubbing his lips against her nose and licking the hair on her head.

Come down, little one.

Xu Qiaoqiao yawned and rubbed her head forward several times in response to Jun Qi's actions. After rubbing her head, she slowly climbed down from Jun Qi's back.

With a splash, she jumped into the water.

It splashed up a lot of water, soaking her head.

Xu Qiaoqiao covered her eyes with both hands, rubbed them several times, then patted her face several times, shook her head, and shook the water off with rather large movements.

"Eek".

The water was shallow. Xu Qiaoqiao paddled around in the water a few times, then raised her head and asked, "Jun Jun, what's the plan for today?"

There hasn't been much rain these past few days, so Junqi has picked up the previously shelved plan again and started training the little guy every day, although the little guy isn't taking it seriously and is always just going through the motions.

"Chirp chirp".

When Jun Qi saw Xu Qiaoqiao's wet appearance, with her hair plastered to her head, making her look smaller, her bright, sparkling eyes were still very clear.

However, it still feels very comfortable to the touch.

Jun Qi stroked the little guy's head, sighing inwardly. Then he called out to Xu Qiaoqiao and shook his head.

—No training today. What do you want to eat? I'll go get it for you.

Xu Qiaoqiao blinked a few times, then smiled slightly, making some soft "hoho" sounds. She put her two front paws together, tilted her head, and looked very happy.

Although she couldn't understand Jun Qi's shouts, Xu Qiaoqiao could tell that Jun Jun's current attitude didn't seem to indicate that he wanted to continue training.

So, that makes me very happy.

Xu Qiaoqiao had considered stopping Jun Qi's idea before, but she failed several times. This guy just couldn't understand what she meant.

I don't know if it was intentional or just a coincidence.

If he tries to shirk his responsibilities and escape the training, Jun Qi starts thinking about other things, such as whether the little guy is sick or might even die, and he becomes extremely listless.

Xu Qiaoqiao only used this method once, and dared not use it a second time. She didn't want to see Junjun so worried and haggard.

It was such a beautiful and strong jaguar, its listless appearance was just too much of a mismatch.

Therefore, even if she doesn't like this, Xu Qiaoqiao doesn't have a chance to stop it for the time being. Anyway, Junjun will eventually realize that he doesn't understand or can't learn the things he teaches.

Just then, a crocodile slowly crawled down from the opposite bank. It was clear that it had not yet noticed Jun Qi and Xu Qiaoqiao. It had come alone, without any companions.
