Chapter 48 Chapter 48 Estrus

The imagined tearing sensation of skin and flesh being torn apart did not come.

Li Xingyan looked up blankly.

A tear fell heavily from the corner of her eye.

The leopard squatted half a meter in front of him, showing no intention of attacking.

Those amber eyes were raised, and the pupils shrank into a vertical line, revealing an inexplicable helplessness.

Li Xingyan raised his hand tentatively and moved the saber forward an inch, and the opponent slowly retreated an inch.

She didn't panic or fight back, as if she knew he posed no threat to her.

Without bothering to think about the leopard's humane behavior that was inconsistent with the habits of wild animals, Li Xingyan stood up angrily.

This is a blatant provocation! This murderer who killed Ti Ti, today it's either him or me who will die!

He gripped the hilt of the knife tightly and stabbed forward with all his might.

At this moment, a sharp monkey cry suddenly rang out.

Then came a familiar figure running towards him.

"Bang bang?!"

The dagger in his hand suddenly fell to the ground.

Li Xingyan hurriedly picked up the monkey cub that was squatting between him and the leopard.

As if afraid the leopard would snatch him away and eat him, he leaned over to block Baobao in his arms, excited and panicked, "You're not dead?!"

With a glimmer of hope, he stammered, "Titi is still alive, right?"

"Of course! Mommy turned into a leopard!"

Baobao struggled to break free from Li Xingyan's embrace and calmly jumped onto Yunti's back. "This is Mommy! Daddy, why did you stab Mommy with a knife? You're so mean!"

After spending so much time with Baobao, Li Xingyan can already accurately discern its emotions.

For example, now, its face is full of affection for the leopard and dissatisfaction with itself.

Thinking about how it had just stood in front of him without caring about its life, it turned out that it was not afraid that the leopard would eat it in anger, but was afraid that he would hurt the leopard with his sword.

The image of the leopard and the monkey getting along harmoniously stung Li Xingyan's eyes. "Ti Ti was so good to you, and now you're actually treating a thief as your mother! You ungrateful bastard!"

"No, White-Eyed Monkey!"

Li Xingyan was so angry that his chest heaved violently.

As the blood rushed up, he felt dizzy and suddenly lost consciousness and fell to the ground.

"It's none of my business..."

Baobao felt guilty and looked away.

After a while, Yunti, who had the body of a leopard, let out a sigh similar to that of a human.

Looking around, there is no threat at the moment.

But her territory overlaps with that of animals such as lions and hyenas, and there is no guarantee when they will come following the sound.

She could carry Li Xingyan up the tree, but he was not a dying prey, and if she kept him there, he would be pricked by the hard poisonous thorns of the acacia, and if he accidentally fell down, he would lose half his life.

After thinking for a moment, Yun Ti threw him onto her back and followed him on her short legs.

Finally, a cave was found.

There must be some small animal planning to build a nest here, as there are several piles of hay in the corner.

After putting Li Xingyan on the haystack, Yun Ti rubbed around the cave.

By releasing glands, they mark their location, keeping other animals away.

"Titi..."

Perhaps because he had a nightmare, the boy did not sleep well.

His brows were tightly furrowed, and silent tears were still falling from the corners of his tightly closed eyes.

Yun Ti stayed by his side silently until she felt that his despair and grief had gradually calmed down. Then she let Baobao continue to accompany Li Xingyan while she went out to find food.

＊

When Li Xingyan woke up, it was getting dark outside.

A portable hand lantern stood in front of him, illuminating the entire cave.

After being stunned for half a second, he smiled and said, "Titi!"

Stand up and turn around.

The leopard sat at the entrance of the cave, licking its fur gracefully, and Baobao helped it find lice like a lackey.

The corners of Li Xingyan's mouth froze in an instant.

He is still alive.

He was also taken to a cave by the leopard.

When he was a child, Li Ran went abroad to shoot an animal documentary, and he begged to go with him for a while.

He knew leopards very well: they had no fixed dens, and usually rested in trees or caves during the day, and went out to hunt at night.

But this leopard abandoned its most familiar habitat without facing any threat to its survival. Not only did it not eat him, it seemed to have been guarding him all along.

Could it be...

It treats me as reserve food!

But leopards don't seem to have the habit of storing prey.

Just when Li Xingyan was puzzled, the leopard brought over a ball of something.

The thing hit the ground and scattered, and hot air mixed with a strange fragrance hit my face.

Several headless frogs were wrapped in the large, roasted leaves, and the small fruits were stewed until they were soft.

Leopard Ti pushed with his front paws, signaling Li Xingyan to eat.

There was suspicious black ash around the paw pad, and a small piece of yellow hair was burnt into a curl.

Combining its current behavior, Li Xingyan inexplicably understood.

This was the dinner it prepared specially for itself, and it was even cooked food.

No, that doesn't make sense! Would a leopard "tame" humans? Would it know that humans don't like to eat raw meat? And the key is... it can also make fire?!

Li Xingyan huddled in a corner as if he had seen a ghost, crossed his arms, and shouted with great nerve, "Whether you understand what I'm saying or not, I'm telling you this! Even if I starve to death or get eaten by the lions out there, I won't eat a single bite of food you offer me!"

With a gurgling sound, the stomach that hadn't eaten properly all day followed suit.

Li Xingyan covered his stomach in panic and glared at him, "Unless you tell me where Ti Ti went, I, I will never forgive you!"

Harsh words with no deterrent effect.

Yun Ti glanced at him lazily and continued looking outside the cave.

I heard that local dogs generally won’t eat when being watched by their owners.

And Li Xingyan is now like this kind of dog that looks fierce but is actually weak.

Sure enough, when Huabao Ti turned around, Li Xingyan's pressure and panic were reduced a lot.

Baobao squatted beside him, sending food to him from time to time, looking at him, then at the steaming food, and chirping a few times.

"Come on, Daddy, eat these. Mommy spent so much effort to cook them in a pile of dirt. Hmm... you can throw the leftover berries into Popo's mouth..."

The aroma hit me and made my stomach start to ache slightly.

Li Xingyan gritted his teeth secretly.

He who knows his food is a hero! He can't fight with his body. He needs to quickly replenish his energy and seek revenge on the suspect leopard after his energy is restored!

Thinking of this, Li Xingyan grabbed the food and stuffed it into his mouth.

The hot tender meat is hot and fresh, and the berries are sour, sweet and melt in your mouth.

The tip of his tongue was numbed by the heat, but he did not stop chewing, stuffing his cheeks like a hamster.

After a while, he burst into tears, sat down on the ground, and broke down crying without any image.

Yunti was so frightened that his body trembled, and his usually cold and melancholy face showed an expression of panic.

Tsk, is it really so delicious that it makes you cry? This child hasn't eaten in a few days...

But Li Xingyan was actually thinking back to the night he and Titi spent at the bottom of the rainforest valley. Damn leopard, how come the roasted frog tasted just like Titi's?

Could it be that...

It ate Titi's brain! Inherited Titi's and its own memories?!

So it didn't hurt him, and even made him the same food that Titi had made before. He could even vaguely see Titi's shadow in this leopard...

With a wow, Li Xingyan cried even louder.

-

At night.

Yun Ti felt the restlessness in her body becoming more and more unbearable.

After returning to Leopard, this feeling would occasionally emerge, but she didn't pay too much attention to it. Now that she saw Li Xingyan, this feeling became stronger and stronger.

A restless desire to bite the other person's neck and tightly wrap the tail around the other person's body.

Entrusting Li Xingyan to the care of Baobao, Yunti walked out of the cave alone.

The grassland is very lively at night, and animals of all sizes start their night life.

The grass that had been eaten during the day was now sprouting new buds, and the yellow and green grass roots were pulsating underground.

Before they even got close to the acacia tree, a strange and dangerous aura spread faster than the wind.

Yunti paused.

I saw an adult male leopard slowly coming out from behind a tree, his bright eyes like two flashlights.

She growled in her throat, baring her fangs, signaling the other party to leave her territory quickly.

The male leopard ignored it and hooked the tree trunk with its front paws, rubbed the bark with its butt, and its thick tail frequently changed shape.

Yun Ti's nostrils twitched as she smelled the pheromones secreted by the male leopard's glands.

She suddenly realized that her restlessness these days was due to the same reason - the estrus period had arrived.

Having just passed her sub-adulthood, the leopard Ti feels the urge to reproduce. If she were an unintelligent animal, she might have already engaged in sexual activity with other male leopards out of instinct.

But after gaining human consciousness, even though Yunti had a physiological reaction, she did not understand the courtship signals sent by her body.

In fact, the male leopard had long noticed the powerful and elegant Yun Ti and had been lingering and waiting at the edge of the territory for several days, trying every possible way to attract her attention, but to no avail.

It decided not to wait any longer and take the initiative.

The tail plays an important role in leopard courtship.

Similar to a peacock displaying its tail, leopards display various tail positions to attract a mate. If a female leopard makes eye contact with a male, she'll circle him, tapping his face and body with her tail to signal her willingness to have sex.

Yun Ti actually didn't want to pay any attention to the male leopard, but her body reacted faster than her.

After all, the person in front of her is a high-quality candidate who meets her leopard's mate selection standards in all aspects.

The male leopard received the successful mating signal from her body, and rushed forward excitedly, hooking the tip of her tail with his thick tail, wanting to take her to the more hidden grass nearby.

It had been checked out in advance and was absolutely comfortable.

Yun Ti thought, since I’m free anyway, I might as well watch the fun.

Reluctantly, she followed the male leopard to the "couple's double room". The grass here was very tall, forming a natural barrier. A layer of soft hay was placed on the flattened grass, and it was covered with colorful flowers.

This is also a careful and interesting male leopard.

At least, Leopard Ti had never heard of a male leopard setting up such an elaborate venue before courting.

The male leopard licked the back of her neck with his barbed tongue, pressing down gently.

Looking at the beast face that suddenly enlarged in front of him, Yun Ti's heart sank.

It's like marrying a rich man for his money, and trying hard to convince yourself that "everything is the same when the lights are turned off", but the moment you think of that extremely ugly face, you will instantly lose hope.

What's more, her current psychological cognition is still that of a human!

Although Yunti doesn't have those traditional concepts of loyalty, "human-animal love" is still too advanced!

Yun Ti shuddered with fear, turned around, threw the male leopard to the side, and ran away without looking back.

The poor and affectionate male leopard was left alone, lying in a mess on the "big bed".

-

hole.

Li Xingyan was struggling with Baobao.

He wanted to escape secretly while the leopard was away, and wanted to take Baobao with him, but Baobao naturally refused and kept biting his clothes.

With a "swish", a large piece of the corner of the clothes was torn off.

At this embarrassing moment, Huabao Ti came back.

Baobao proudly jumped in front of her to express his loyalty: "Bad daddy wanted to take me away! But I resisted the temptation, hehe! Because Baobao will always love Mommy the most!"

Yunti rubbed Baobao's little face with her head and sat down at the entrance of the xue in silence.

The restlessness in the body continued, and even became more difficult to suppress because of the male leopard's disturbance.

This doesn't feel good.

Li Xingyan frowned, thought seriously for a while, and suddenly said, "Could it be the estrus period?"

When he was a child, he had seen a female leopard in estrus, which was somewhat similar to the leopard in front of him, but much more intense.

At this moment, the flashlight was shaken by a bang.

The beam of light hit his face, and Huabao Ti narrowed his eyes slightly, and the tuft of white hair on his eyebrows became more obvious.

Li Xingyan was stunned and whispered in disbelief: "...Wendy?"
