Chapter Three: A Bystander Saw a Panda Riding a Siberian Tiger—and It Was Talking?!

Page 1/3

“Momma mia! A full-grown fierce Siberian tiger! Streamer, you call this ‘Little Cutie’?”
“Ahhh, that really is a Siberian tiger. How on earth did the streamer train it? I want a golden shaded big cat too!”
“Nonsense, it’s all fake! Clearly some kind of CGI! A panda and a tiger together? Come on, AI technology is realistic, but not that realistic!”
“Totally fake! It’s all scripted! If that’s really a Siberian tiger, I’ll eat dirt while streaming upside down!”

But Shen Miao didn’t pay attention to the comments at all. At that moment, the round, black-and-white fluffball stood up, twisting its furry tail left and right as it hopped onto Little Cutie’s back.
“Little Cutie, hurry and take me down the mountain!”

When Shen Miao ended the live stream, the comments suddenly flooded in, covering the entire screen.
However, Shen Miao, whose stomach was growling fiercely, had no patience like the panda. She switched off her phone and gently patted the big cat’s head.
“Come on, come on! If you’re any slower, this bear is going to starve to death!”

[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have successfully conquered a human! System activated: Panda Conquer the World.
Current mission: Panda’s Revenge
How dare they abandon an ancient panda under a cliff to die! Unforgivable! Vent your anger at them!
Mission duration: one hour.
Mission reward: Complete Animal Medical Encyclopedia.
Fail penalty: Lose all panda fur.]

Shen Miao: !!!

Riding on the tiger’s back as they descended the mountain, Shen Miao was shocked upon hearing the fail penalty. She hastily grabbed the back of Little Cutie’s neck to avoid falling off and rolling into a ball.
What? Losing all of one’s fur?
Too terrifying!

“What is this system? Do you realize you’re torturing a national first-class protected animal?!”

[Host, please don’t be angry. As an ancient panda demon and majestic iron-eating beast, the One-Six system is designed to motivate you to dominate the world sooner.
Bitter medicine cures sickness. Even pandas need loyal systems to encourage them, right?]

That made some sense.
After the One-Six system’s praise, Shen Miao was mollified. Though the penalty was frightening, the reward was quite generous.

[Exactly, high risk, high reward! If you’re a panda, trust me, you can’t go wrong!
Now, let’s go slap those who bullied you before flying!]

Shen Miao nodded. But as soon as she got down the mountain, a mouthwatering aroma of stewed meat hit her nose, and she shook her black-and-white head as the system’s voice quickly faded away.

She transformed into human form and dashed into a roadside restaurant.
“One whole pot of iron wok stewed goose! All the side dishes too!”

Soon, a group of northeastern locals watched in disbelief as a petite yet irresistibly cute southern girl—Shen Miao—singlehandedly devoured an entire pot of goose!
Everyone in the restaurant was dumbfounded, staring blankly at her eating.

Used to being the center of attention as a panda, Shen Miao kept her head down and ate diligently, even feeding a small white cat nearby that was meowing at her for food.
This pure white kitten was so skinny it was skin and bones, limping along. It was clearly an outcast from a stray cat group—a plain ugly white cat.

“You’re such an ugly kitty. If it weren’t for a kind-hearted panda like me, you’d have starved to death,” Shen Miao said.

The white kitten was so touched it almost cried.
After a hearty meal, the kitten curled up by Shen Miao’s feet, knowing it was dirty and only dared to gently rub its head against her pant leg.
“Thank you, big sister! If you pack me some goose, I’ll tell you where to find lots of shiny golden treasures!”

The little white cat proudly lifted its head and added,
“I know that yellow stuff is called gold! Two-legged beasts love it! I’ve buried lots of it!”

Its previous owner had shown it this gold and sent it out to find the exact same thing.
Perhaps because the cat never found it, the owner abandoned it.

“So since then, I’ve been wandering and searching for gold. Finally, I found it! Lots and lots! It’s in the mountains!”

Hearing this, Shen Miao’s eyes lit up. She scooped up the little white cat and headed off.
A fortune was within reach, and she would never have to worry about being hungry again!

But she seemed to have forgotten something?
The panda’s mind was simple and single-threaded. Shen Miao scratched her head but couldn’t recall; she decided not to think about it. Suddenly, she heard a somewhat familiar voice.

“Shen Miao! You actually followed me here?
Seriously, you’re so clingy! I told you I don’t like you! I like Wen Jiaojiao! Give up already!”

Oh, her mission!
Shen Miao suddenly remembered: if she didn’t complete the task, she’d lose her fur!
That couldn’t happen!
She had to vent her anger right away!

Shen Miao immediately turned toward Zhou Xingyao, who was frowning and scolding her.

Suddenly, her heart skipped a beat, and the dull feeling returned.
She vaguely remembered that as kids they had promised to be together when they grew up, but Zhou Xingyao immediately fell in love with Wen Jiaojiao upon joining the Wen family.
Two-legged beasts were so untrustworthy!

To avoid mistakes, Shen Miao politely asked before acting:
“Yesterday, none of you came looking for me, right?”

“What are you talking about?”
Zhou Xingyao frowned as he looked at Shen Miao’s ripped cotton jacket, his eyes full of disapproval.
Wen Jiaojiao had been worried sick all night when she couldn’t find Shen Miao, yet Shen Miao was calmly eating and stalking him here.

“Shen Miao! What nonsense are you up to? Why don’t you reply to your family?
And how did you manage to ruin your good clothes like this? Are you trying to play the pity card to get my attention?
Stop pretending. I would never get engaged to you!”

So annoying!
How could this person be so irritating?

The panda’s mind was overwhelmed.
If it were the old Shen Miao, she might have been too upset to speak.

But now, as an ancient divine beast, Shen Miao lacked human patience and decorum.

Smack—

“Shut up, you’re so noisy!”

A crisp slap rang out, and the chattering Zhou Xingyao was suddenly struck by the petite, adorable girl, flying backward.

Zhou Xingyao traced a perfect arc in the air before crashing onto a nearby haystack.

Bystanders: ???

Everyone around was stunned, while Shen Miao breathed a sigh of relief.
Finally, some peace and quiet!

Satisfied, Shen Miao hugged the cat and focused on treasure hunting without looking away.

Just as she was leaving, a few people hurried up from behind, exclaiming in surprise.

“Brother Xingyao, are you okay?!”
“Shen Miao, how could you hit Brother Xingyao?!”
“Shen Miao, where did you run off to? Don’t you have any manners?!”

It was the Wen family trio arriving, both shocked and scolding.

But Shen Miao didn’t listen; she was solely focused on finding treasure, completely ignoring them as if they were invisible.

Wen Jiaojiao frowned, sensing something different about Shen Miao.
But Zhou Xingyao, unconscious, needed attention more urgently. The Wen family was busy calling emergency services and paid no mind to Shen Miao.

By the time Zhou Xingyao was lifted into the ambulance, Shen Miao was already carrying the cat back up the mountain.

With her spiritual power still insufficient, Shen Miao reverted to her original form, comfortably riding Little Cutie and holding the white cat while searching for the treasure.

“Meow! It’s definitely on this mountain peak! There are so many mountains!
I’m not lying! There’s a huge thick tree and a small wooden house nearby! It’s right there!”

But the mountains surrounded them on all sides, making it impossible to find quickly.

Just then, Shen Miao met an elderly man climbing the mountain.
Her eyes brightened as she waved and politely greeted him with Little Cutie and the white cat.

“Sir, may I ask—”

Before Shen Miao could finish, the old man’s eyes widened in shock as he screamed,
“Oh my! A panda! A panda has come to Northeast China!
A-a-a talking panda?!”

With a thud, Shen Miao saw the old man suddenly collapse, rolling his eyes and fainting on the spot.
