By transforming the original villain into a healthy and happy beastman, CatDodo has also planned out his future goals.
Just as she made up her mind, her stomach growled at an inopportune moment.
"No way, I'm actually hungry. Luckily they're all still resting, so I won't be too embarrassed."
Cat Duoduo tiptoed to the kitchen to find something to eat. Aside from the bamboo shoots she had dug earlier, there wasn't much else to eat.
"This is giving me a headache." Mao Duoduo sat down in a chair, resting her chin on her hand, carefully considering what she should eat.
However, no matter how you look at it, bamboo shoots cooked alone, without a good seasoning or meat, simply cannot satisfy her already spoiled stomach.
In addition—
"I'll make this quick and easy; I'll hunt nearby."
"You all need to stay safe and sound. No matter who knocks on the door, don't open it."
After whispering the words, Maoduo closed the door and went outside, displaying her agility and taking advantage of her feline nature.
The rain also stopped at an unexpected time.
A waning moon hung in the distant sky, offering some light to the road ahead. There were also some fireflies along the way.
Cat Duoduo had a clear goal: to hunt nearby and catch some wild game to take back to her cubs for a treat.
However, she overlooked one thing: after the rain, many large animals also came down from the mountain at night.
Their house was already close to the mountains and forests, and she was incredibly 'lucky' to encounter a wild beast with sharp fangs.
With a sudden charge, the other party quite unceremoniously intended to devour the cat that had appeared there.
"Holy crap! This huge guy actually came out too!"
Dodo dodged left and right; to deal with such a large wild boar, she could only make the most of her jumping and climbing abilities.
Unable to resist the fact that the wild boar was so hungry that no other animals on the mountain dared to come out, it was determined to eat Mao Duoduo. So it charged wildly, using its strength advantage to knock down the trees where Mao Duoduo was temporarily hiding.
With a creak, another tree was about to fall.
"Oh no!" Cat Duoduo panicked, but it was too late to jump, because the wild boar was already leaping towards her, its tusks aimed at her abdomen.
With that posture and strength, CatDodo would definitely be killed by the opponent in the next second and become a meal for the wild boar!
CatDodo's heart tightened; she didn't know what to do.
With a bang, a figure flashed into view. The opponent moved too fast and with a single punch, struck the wild boar's weakest spot, its eye, with incredible precision.
It was thrown heavily into the air, howling in pain. Knowing that it was no match for its opponent, it got up and ran up the mountain without regard for anything else.
Cat Duoduo escaped unharmed, and before she could even catch her breath, she heard the voice of the person who had saved her, "Duoduo, are you alright?"
Wait a minute, this voice sounds way too familiar...
Mao Duoduo's face immediately fell. Because it was Bao Lie who had saved her.
The opponent is quite skilled, deserving of the title of the strongest in the village.
He hadn't completely pulled his fist back yet. From this angle, it was clear that his arm muscles were well-developed. Anyone with even a hint of expectation would easily fall into the trap of being infatuated with Leopard Fierce.
If it weren't for CatDodo's casual glance, which revealed obvious signs that someone had been standing nearby for quite some time...
"How long have you been here?" Mao Duoduo asked coldly, unlike what Bao Lie had expected.
A barely perceptible hint of displeasure flashed in Leopard's eyes, but he remained as cheerful and magnanimous as ever, saying, "I just came from Uncle Hunter's house and was on my way home. You know he's quite skilled, so I went to ask him for pointers. I didn't expect to get caught in the heavy rain, which delayed my return until now—"
There's no need to say more; it's enough for others to imagine what will happen next.
Even someone like Leopard Lie, who happened to be passing by, showed no fear upon seeing the rather threatening wild boar and promptly intervened to save Cat Duoduo.
CatDodo should be extremely grateful to such a beastman who repays evil with kindness and does not hold grudges, and continue to be his loyal lapdog!
"oh."
Surprisingly, Maoduoduo's reaction was indifferent.
She lowered her eyes, her attitude unchanged. "It's alright, I'll go back now."
She kept her word and turned to leave, which was contrary to Leopard's original plan.
"Wait a minute." Bao Lie quickly called out, patching up the patch again, "I'm afraid there's still danger. Let me take you back."
Look at these words! If the other female beastmen in the village heard them, they would all be filled with admiration, and their love for Leopard Fierce would only grow stronger.
But Maoduoduo couldn't hide his annoyance and mockery. This guy's got a screw loose...
"I already said I don't need it, so don't follow me!" Her tone was somewhat displeased.
Leopard Lie still spoke in a considerate tone: "Don't worry, we're going the same way anyway, we'll give you a ride, it won't be a problem."
CatDodo felt like throwing up. Was this guy doing it on purpose, pretending not to hear her?
She immediately stopped and turned to look at Bao Lie, her eyes filled with undisguised disgust.
"You saving me is your business. I apologizing is my business. We're even."
"Alright, stop following me. If you follow me now, it will only make me suspect that you're eyeing my baby's snake gall."
She rattled off a string of words, then turned and ran toward home.
Before Bao Lie could react, he realized that the other person had already disappeared into the distance.
Immediately, his face turned ugly. With no other beastmen present, Leopard Fierce gritted his teeth and let out a sound like a wild beast in a rage.
Does this guy really think he has to rely on the other party to get the snake gall?
This time, he was simply out of his element. He hadn't expected Mao Duoduo to change so quickly. The other party hadn't hidden her affection for him before, and according to his previous assumptions, she should have sent him snake gallbladders in the next few days.
Everything was proceeding as he had predicted. He never expected that Mao Duoduo would become such a variable.
No, he had to find another way. He was determined to get the snake gall!
I've been running for a while now, and I'm almost home.
CatDodo slowed down, thinking to herself how unlucky she was to have just run into LeopardFierce. She really thought LeopardFierce couldn't see that there was a place nearby where adult beastmen had been staying.
It was obvious that the heroic rescue earlier was premeditated. She even suspected that the wild boar might have been released by the other party.
She cursed Bao Lie under her breath, glancing towards her home with regret, "This is really troublesome, I didn't catch any prey."
As she passed by the fields, her ears twitched, and she heard a noise coming from the fields. She immediately became interested and went over to take a look.
