Chapter 74: Lifelong Leopard Friend Xu Nian: Serious Nonsense...
The escaped snow leopard never thought that one day it would encounter a snow leopard pretending to be sick. After all, this kind of thing was too unfamiliar in its snow leopard life.
Xu Nian was also surprised. When Los turned around to look at him, Xu Nian had not yet recovered the look of surprise on his face.
"Xunian." Los realized something and twitched the tip of his tail nervously. He then took the initiative to walk towards Xu Nian, rubbed the ground gently and said, "Are you not scared?"
"No..." After thinking for a while, Xu Nian moved closer to Los and stared at his abdomen for a long time. His furry ears trembled slightly, and there was a hint of deep thought in his eyes.
"..." Los followed Xu Nian's gaze and found that the other party was observing his abdomen. A trace of guilt flashed across his eyes, and then he gently turned his body to block Xu Nian's sight, and licked Xu Nian as if nothing had happened.
Los is not the snow leopard in the PEP version. Every hair of this wild snow leopard reveals its guilty conscience, and its eyes begin to evade slightly.
"Los..." Xu Nian sniffed gently, and when he realized he couldn't smell anything, he gently wagged his tail, moved closer to Los's side, rubbed his body hard, and said very obediently, "Thank you."
This wasn't what Los had expected. He subconsciously paused, then heard Xu Nian continue, "But you're still injured. You can't be so impulsive. You know, if I saw you get hurt for me, I'd be very sad. I'd wish I had you hurt too."
Realizing that Los's injury wasn't as serious as it looked, Xu Nian immediately came up with an idea. He immediately expressed his loyalty very sincerely, saying, "You don't know how heartbroken and miserable I am to see you injured."
"...I can see that." Los did not lie. In the past few days, he did see Xu Nian's concern and love for him. The most important thing was that he observed carefully and found that Xu Nian had never mentioned Luo Yin in such a long time.
It was as if the useless snow leopard had disappeared from Xu Nian's memory. This made Los extremely happy. His tail was immediately raised high, as if he was a snow leopard returning victoriously.
Unfortunately, Los didn't know at all. Even if he didn't use this trick, Xu Nian would not mention Luo Yin.
Luo Yin's impression in Xu Nian's heart has fallen to the lowest point. Thanks to Luo Yin's contrast, Xu Nian feels more and more that Los is very reliable and is a snow leopard worth relying on.
"Look...huh?" Xu Nian raised his furry paws, rubbed his face, and then moved closer to Los. He whispered, "So next time, if you encounter this situation again, listen to me and run away immediately. Don't worry about me..."
"What about you?" Ross frowned and asked, "Aren't you going to run?"
"Of course I will run, but..." Xu Nian paused, looking obedient and sensible. He lowered his head slightly, and his furry ears trembled slightly before he said, "I will cover your back. As long as you are safe and alive, I can do anything. We...we are good friends. We should live and die together, share wealth and hardship together, and never forget each other when we are rich and powerful!"
The series of words left Los a little confused, but he understood the general meaning. He gently shook the tip of his tail, looked at Xu Nian's mouth, and then looked at the other's furry paws.
"Why don't you answer?" Xu Nian, who was waiting for Los's response, raised his head slightly and bumped into Los's extremely focused gaze. Even though Xu Nian was a little nervous, he could still sense something was wrong. He subconsciously tilted his head slightly, raised his paw, and placed it on Los's furry paw with great sincerity, saying word by word: "I promise, I will do my best to ensure your safety."
Los leaned over and licked Xu Nian's face. Every movement was very serious, and the force was much stronger than before. Xu Nian felt as if Los had licked off some of his hair. He looked at the place where he was bitten with a little panic and protested softly, "Be gentler, or I'll really go bald."
"It's okay, hair loss is normal," said Los.
"..." Xu Nian was a little worried. Not to mention whether he would become bald, there was no hairball remover in the wild. Los loved to lick his fur and also loved to lick his own fur. If he continued like this, it would only be a matter of time before he would vomit hairballs.
When he thought of this, Xu Nian couldn't help but sigh.
The two snow leopards returned to their resting place, lay down together, snuggled up to each other, licked the blood remaining on each other's bodies, and shook their furry ears gently.
"This snow leopard is unfamiliar, which means there must be other snow leopards heading this way." Xu Nian paused. As usual, he curled up beside Los, who was almost in a protective posture. Xu Nian whispered, "We still have to be more careful when hunting next time. After all, there may be other wild animals here."
Los's furry ears twitched, indicating that he was listening to Xu Nian, but in fact he never stopped licking Xu Nian's fur.
Xu Nian felt somewhat comfortable being licked this time, mainly because the force was very good, neither too light nor too heavy. He lay on the ground enjoying it very much, moved closer to Los, gently shook his tail, and said, "To be honest, Los, you really are the most powerful snow leopard I have ever seen."
Los paused licking Xu Nian's fur, his eyes darkening slightly.
"No matter in hunting or in intelligence, you are unmatched by other snow leopards." Xu Nian knew very well that the snow leopard in front of him liked praise the most. It was like a large cat. As long as it was coaxed, it would be very obedient. It was a typical cat that would respond to soft words and not to harsh ones. So Xu Nian relaxed his waist even more, revealing his furry belly, and let Los comb his hair all over his body. According to this combing method, Xu Nian estimated that it would not be long before Los would really vomit hairballs.
"It's because I'm by your side that I feel much more at ease." Xu Nian looked at the sky with a slightly empty look in his eyes. He then turned his head slightly to look at Los, tilted his head slightly, and whispered, "If possible, we must rely on each other."
Xu Nian had never had a good friend before, and Los was Xu Nian's first friend in every sense.
In fact, Xu Nian had never realized that he was a loyal and righteous person before. In fact, when he stood in front of Los just now, the one who was most surprised was not Los, but himself.
He really didn't expect that he would do such a thing. He thought that based on his habit, he would weigh the pros and cons, then turn around and leave, or hide behind Los, but in fact it was not the case. His body reacted faster than his brain, and he just stood in front of Los without even half a second of hesitation.
Even if the one in front of him was a wild snow leopard that he could not defeat at all, Xu Nian even had some doubts. Even if it was a brown bear or a pack of wolves, he might not retreat.
Because at that moment, he had no time to think.
It turns out that it’s not that he doesn’t understand feelings, but that he hasn’t met someone who is sincere to him before. Now that he has met someone, he will give back to the other person wholeheartedly.
"I have good friends too." Xu Nian said with relief.
His voice was very soft. While Los was licking his fur, he stretched out his paws and licked his paw pads. When he looked up, he could see Los's handsome appearance, and his furry tail couldn't help but shake slightly.
"I think..." Xu Nian turned over, stretched out his claws, revealing one of the tips, and gently hooked it with the tip of Los's claws. Los, who was licking his fur, subconsciously paused, tilted his head slightly, and looked at Xu Nian with some confusion, as if he didn't quite understand what the other party was going to do. Then he saw Xu Nian gently move his claws, pulling Los's claws.
Los didn't stop or dodge, but just let the other party pull him like this, and even went over to lick Xu Nian's neck. Then he heard Xu Nian's voice saying: "If you pull my claws, you have to promise to be good friends for life and never leave me."
"What?" Ross didn't hear clearly.
"I... I've seen other snow leopards do this before. Just pulling their paws means they've made a decision, and it can't be changed." Xu Nian seriously tried to fool the clueless wild snow leopard in front of him, spouting nonsense: "This is the most solemn promise a snow leopard can make."
"...Have you ever played paws with Luo Yin?" Los shook his tail gently and asked a question that he cared about very much.
Xu Nian didn't understand what this question had to do with Luo Yin, but since Los asked, he immediately said, "No, I only made a promise to you. I don't make promises to every snow leopard... Are you and Luo Yin the same?"
These words made Los very happy. If the tip of his tail moved forward a little more, it would reach the top of his head. Xu Nian was amazed when he saw this, surprised that these words could make Los so excited.
But even though his tail was about to bloom, Los's face still maintained a serious and calm look. He looked at Xu Nian who was speaking. No matter whether what Xu Nian said was true or false, Los liked it very much, so he treated it as true.
On the contrary, if Xu Nian said something he didn't like one day, then Xu Nian must have lied.
In short, Los only listens to what he likes to hear and listens selectively.
"Okay." Los heard the key point, which was "never leave or abandon."
The more important point is that Xu Nian has only clawed with this snow leopard, and has never clawed with other snow leopards, and has never made any promises, so Los thinks that he has an irreplaceable position in Xu Nian's heart!
That night, Los was very excited. Until the next morning, Xu Nian was tossing and turning in Los's arms. When he opened his eyes, he saw Los with his tail still raised.
"...You wouldn't..." Xu Nian looked at Los's tail and sobered up a little. He was really worried that Los's tail would become sticky, so he raised his paw and gently flicked it. Los immediately put down his tail very sensitively and turned his head and asked, "What are you doing?"
"You're not going to be so cocky all night, are you?" Xu Nian couldn't help but ask.
Even though the snow leopard's face was covered by fur, Xu Nian still felt a flash of embarrassment on the face of the snow leopard in front of him. The other party immediately shook its tail gently, but for some reason, the tail was a little stiff when it shook. Such a long furry tail was really conspicuous. Finally, Los also noticed this. It got a little angry, turned its head and bit its own tail, and said in a muffled voice: "No, it just stood up this morning. Don't worry about it."
After saying that, it stood up, holding its tail in its mouth, and hid behind a rock on the other side. It anxiously shook its tail gently, trying to make it recover quickly.
After all, my tail was a little stiff after this night.
That night, it pondered Xu Nian's words over and over again, and the more it thought about it, the happier it became.
"Come to think of it..." Xu Nian climbed up the rock inappropriately. He lay on the rock, looking down at Los below, and said, "When did you recover from your injury? Was it yesterday?"
Los was quietly rubbing his tail to help it recover, when he was caught off guard by Xu Nian's voice overhead. Startled, he immediately spread his limbs, flew up, and then flicked his tail before jumping onto the rock opposite.
