Chapter 58 Chapter 58 Goodbye Leopard Mom
Yunti never thought that she would see her mother again here.
It turned out that the familiar scent she smelled some time ago was not an illusion.
In fact, from the moment Yunti landed on this land, Sinead noticed that this human girl had the scent of her own child.
It kept following her, trying to find an opportunity to approach and confirm.
But it also noticed the movements of other humans nearby, and fearing that they might harm Wendy, it did not approach, but instead circled around the nearby territory.
As a result, after missing her for one night, the girl turned into a leopard, and the cat was sure that this was its daughter. However, Li Xingyan and Ban Lie appeared one after another, interrupting the plan of recognition.
…
Generally speaking, once their cubs reach sub-adulthood and learn to hunt on their own, a mother leopard has completed her reproductive mission and will choose to return to her solitary life.
However, Sinead was obviously a caring mother, so she was the first to discover that her child had disappeared in the Serengeti.
After endless searching, it realized that the land beneath its feet was sometimes familiar and sometimes strange, as if two different pieces of soil began to connect.
Hearing her old mother's confused question, Yun Ti smiled and fell into its arms.
Suddenly, I felt like an old man in the human world who couldn't keep up with the times and didn't understand the internet, holding his phone and asking, "How can the paper man speak?"
How can I explain this changing world to you, Mom?
Yun Ti leaned close to Sinead's chest, letting out a soft purring sound from her throat. "Mom, this is my first time being a human too. Am I adjusting well?"
She couldn't explain it because she was also confused about the world.
Fortunately, Sinead witnessed her daughter's independent growth. She had the courage to fight back against the hyenas; she possessed a unique charm to attract supporters; she possessed the strategy and force to fight her enemies, and the energy to save the elephants; she even had the patience to care for her own human pets...
Whether being a leopard or a human, my daughter can do it well.
It can let go with peace of mind and let her freely and wantonly expand her own territory.
The picture of the girl and the leopard snuggling is very heartwarming.
But to Li Xingyan, it seemed a little weird.
He looked up at the rearview mirror nervously, fearing that the female leopard, still wild, would get excited and take a bite of a human.
"Is he your pet? You take good care of him and he's very protective of his owner." Sinead glanced at Li Xingyan and said something shocking.
Yun Ti nodded, then shook her head, her brows suddenly arched. "Mom, don't you remember him? He's Li Ran's son..."
After thinking for a moment, my mother might be more familiar with the name "Lillian" than "Li Ran".
Sure enough, upon hearing the name, Sinead's pupils suddenly shrank into vertical slits, and a very thin golden halo appeared at the edges.
It climbed onto the back of the chair and stretched its head to look at Li Xingyan.
Such a horrifying action frightened Li Xingyan so much that he let go of the steering wheel and flashed across the wilderness like a dragon's tail.
"She does look a lot like Lillian, but her personality isn't quite the same."
Lillian was a brave and fearless knight, a fighter, a god, and its best friend, once upon a time.
In fact, Sinead has always been troubled by one issue.
"…Why did she suddenly leave the Serengeti then?"
Yun Ti's sudden question made Li Xingyan unable to react for a while. He was stunned for a moment before realizing that the "Lillian" she was referring to was his mother Li Ran.
This English name was Li Ran's most famous title when she was in the foreign director circle, but she rarely heard anyone mention it after she returned to China.
When she was filming a wildlife conservation documentary with Cyril's team, she devoted a lot of effort to building trust with the animals. However, she was eventually accused by Cyril's team of "interfering with nature" and was kicked out at the final stage.
This incident also caused great controversy in foreign media - whether documentary directors should interfere with nature.
Finally, the directors reached a consensus: as bystanders of the times, they only record and do not interfere.
But this is actually just a hypocritical disclaimer.
In order to make the documentary images "good-looking" and "interesting", many well-known directors will use the method of setting up scenes for "virtual interpretation". Sometimes they have to present the complete story line in the script, and they will also mix up the animals and transplant them.
Anyway, the same species looks similar to humans, and there are no spectators with sharp eyes to carefully distinguish the subtle differences between them.
In other words, few people try to establish a real connection with animals like Li Ran does.
So they found it hard to imagine that the friendship across species could last for so many years, to the point that Sinead still remembered her human friend, Lillian.
Well, it turns out that he didn’t leave without saying goodbye, but was forced to do so.
Then forgive her.
At this moment, what Sinead wants to ask is, "Is she doing okay now?"
Yun Ti thought about it and told Li Ran everything she saw and heard after meeting him.
After hearing this, the mother leopard's heart, which had been tense, suddenly relaxed.
It's good that she lives as freely as before.
"However, her cub seems a little weak."
Sinead looked at Li Xingyan again until goose bumps appeared on the back of her neck. She slowly looked away. "It's not easy for her to raise the cubs alone. You should take care of her more when you have time."
Yun Ti chuckled, "Li Ran has a husband. Monogamy is the norm in the human world."
"That's not good. One husband is not enough. Having more husbands would help to share the burden. And if one dies, I won't be sad..."
Sinead gurgled loudly in her throat.
Li Xingyan sneezed and felt an inexplicable chill on his spine.
"Titi, it's very cold this morning, put on some clothes."
He rubbed his arms and handed the coat from the passenger seat to the back seat.
Curl up on Sinead's softest belly.
Yun Ti thought that her mother’s embrace was warm enough.
-
There was no doubt that the trophy would be found successfully.
They migrated like animals, from south to north, almost across the entire grassland.
Finally, a golden object was found on the top of a tall baobab tree.
Under the reflection of the setting sun, dazzling spots of light leaked through the gaps between the trees.
The production team really put a lot of thought into it. They couldn't have put it anywhere else, so they had to stick the trophy to the treetops.
It seems that they want to recreate the classic scene of "climbing in the rainforest".
But unlike most tree species in the rainforest, the baobab tree has a thick and smooth bark on its trunk, making it extremely difficult to reach the top without auxiliary climbing tools.
Li Xingyan tried to throw something up to knock the trophy down, but the tree canopy was too high, and the height of the thrown object was only one-fifth of the trunk.
After rubbing his hands together, Yun Ti planned to climb up with his bare hands.
Suddenly, Sinead squatted down in front of her and said, "Come up."
It didn't understand what the child was trying to do, it only knew that she wanted to climb higher.
Even without Sinead's help, Yunti was able to complete her goal. The only problem was that her hands were rubbed raw, her clothes were scratched by thorns, and her forehead was soaked with sweat...
But holding her up with all her might is the last thing a mother can do for her daughter before she learns to let go.
Let her suffer as little unnecessary hardship as possible on the road to reaping rich rewards.
Sinead carried Yunti on her back, dug her claws into the stem, and climbed to the top steadily and lightly.
A leopard can drag prey weighing three times its own weight up a tree, so a human girl is no problem.
The moment their fingertips touched the trophy, all the contestants' wristbands rang at the same time.
"Survivor Game" Announcement: Congratulations! Contestant Yunti has successfully won the championship trophy and will receive a prize of 100 million RMB. Contestants, please enjoy your final journey!

【Well deserved!!!】
What the hell is this dream scene? A wild leopard carrying a human girl up a tree? And carrying her around everywhere? Is Yunti some kind of runaway Disney princess?! Why do so many animals cling to her? I'm so jealous!
[Not a princess, but a queen! The whole world will eventually be trampled under the feet of us, TiMaomao, hehehe]
[I suddenly feel that Yunti's personality is quite similar to that of a leopard: cold, proud, independent, elegant, yet dangerous. Most importantly... she's incredibly strong!!! Almost omnipotent!!!]
[Hmm, my feelings are as bad as a leopard...]
[The one above, Li Xingyan, you are talking on the big toilet (I have already seen through it)]
…
"interesting."
Looking at the girl hugging the leopard tightly on the giant screen, Vilereus showed a faint smile.
He crossed his long legs and placed them on the coffee table, supporting his temples with one hand, his gray-blue eyes slightly narrowed.
Ever since he accidentally saw a leopard on the surveillance camera taking on a pack of hyenas to protect humans, he has been looking for the leopard's trace.
But it seemed to have disappeared out of thin air and never appeared again.
Until an inspector said that he found that the patrol route of another adult female leopard was highly overlapping with that of the sub-adult leopard, and perhaps the target could be found through it.
Vilereus reluctantly changed the target of surveillance.
The leopard is indeed an extremely agile and cunning animal. It can sense the approach of human vehicles from a long distance and then disappear into the bushes without a trace.
Later, Vilereus decided not to show up in person and just follow it with a drone, and the number of times it was captured on camera began to increase.
However, no one expected that it would travel such a long distance and have no fixed place to live just to find this human girl.
Her name seems to be... Yunti?
Vilereus also remembered that the young boy who was traveling with her was the human who had been protected by the sub-adult leopard.
"Vilereus, Mr. Eric already knows you're here. He told me to tell you to stop what you're doing and return home as soon as possible..."
"Which country are you going back to?" Vilereus raised his eyebrows and looked at the assistant beside him with interest.
The assistant pursed his lips helplessly and shrugged, meaning: You know.
As an illegitimate child, he would feel more comfortable returning to China.
"Mr. Eric also said not to interfere with the program recording. Drones have captured your actions in the heart of the grasslands several times, and he doesn't have the energy to clean up the mess right now."
"He's a real traitor," Vilereus snorted disdainfully. "I was the one who planned this lousy show for him in the first place."
It's meaningless to say this now. The interests between him and his biological father are more important than his feelings.
In the live broadcast room, there are so many comments that there are double images.
Everyone was cheering for the girl.
Under the setting sun with unpredictable clouds, Yun Ti jumped into the arms of the wild leopard like a young swallow flying into the forest.
The leopard, which was always hard to find, actually leisurely carried her on its back into the floating light.
It's really unbelievable.
But too many incredible things have happened to this girl.
If Vilereus hadn't known that this show couldn't be faked, he would have almost suspected that those shots were mixed with special effects.
What a pity...I didn't get to see her in person.
The upward curve of Vilereus's mouth became more and more obvious, but his eyes were still like a calm deep sea.
See you back home, Yunti.
