Chapter Nine: Is Someone Killing a Dog?

Page (1/3)

This is bad—she forgot the police station could also do video verification! If she had known earlier, she wouldn’t have told them there was video evidence, thought Jiang Miao with some regret. Her jet-black eyes darted around, when a voice came from behind:

“What else could it be? Of course, it’s because she was dressed in a lifelike panda costume!”

Qin Che stepped in to save the day, and Jiang Miao immediately breathed a sigh of relief, nodding in agreement.

“Yes, yes, exactly! I was wearing a mascot costume, and I took down six of them, sending them flying with a single slap!”

Lin Xiayao: ...Sounds utterly ridiculous!

“What about the tiger? The tiger can’t be in a costume too, right?”

“The tiger is a real tiger! Little Buddy lost to me, so I beat him up and then took him on as my little brother. What’s wrong with that? The law doesn’t forbid taking a Siberian tiger as a subordinate.”

Lin Xiayao: !!!

So, this seemingly soft and gentle young girl single-handedly subdued a Siberian tiger barehanded, then donned a clumsy panda suit and rode the tiger to take down six armed dangerous criminals?!

The entire SWAT team at the police station began to question their own lives. Their gazes toward Shen Miao were inexplicably filled with envy and reverence.

Isn’t this even more impressive than Wu Song?

Who would have thought this little potato from the south traveling here was so formidable!

Lin Xiayao scratched her head, speechless.

Although Siberian tigers are legally protected, Shen Miao neither poached nor caged the tiger; she just rode it to fight criminals. Not only was it legal, but she might even be commended…

Thinking this, Lin Xiayao twitched at the corner of her mouth, but soon she became even more confused.

Because this incident was broadcast live and attracted public attention, the superiors were waiting for them to issue a statement. But the problem was: how on earth were they supposed to write this statement?

No matter how they phrased it, it sounded absurd!

…

While the police station fretted over how to word a reasonable announcement, Shen Miao was busy counting money with Little Buddy.

Between live-stream donations and recent ginseng sales, she had just earned five thousand yuan!

This was far more than the money she made carrying bricks for Chi You in ancient times!

Back then, carrying bricks for Chi You, a single panda had to haul a hundred bricks to earn one steamed bun, and by modern standards, brick carrying didn’t pay well either.

She had just checked—working a whole day carrying bricks only earned 150 yuan, not even enough for a panda to have a proper meal!

Live streaming was definitely more profitable!

Once she withdrew the money, Shen Miao immediately planned to go down the mountain and spend all five thousand yuan on food!

Five thousand yuan wasn’t even enough for a few good meals, and she also wanted to stockpile bamboo shoots. Not to mention Little Buddy’s bottomless pit of an appetite waiting to be fed!

However, at that moment, the system dealt this panda a blow:

【Congratulations on successfully conquering ten humans! Please continue your efforts!

New mission released: Conquer stray animals

As the panda overlord, we must not only conquer humans but also win the hearts of little animals. Please rescue as many stray furry creatures in the city as possible before winter arrives!

Mission reward: Each animal rescued restores a bit of spiritual energy.

Mission failure penalty: All your black-and-white patterns will be swapped. Black will turn white, and white will turn black.】

Shen Miao: !!!

She used her phone to simulate the color swap effect on herself and immediately found it unbearable.

So ugly! How could such an ugly creature exist?!

Fine, she still had to rescue the kittens and puppies. But just as she had five thousand yuan and hadn’t even eaten yet, it was already not enough?

At worst, she’d rescue them and have them work for her to earn money!

Sighing, Shen Miao scratched her furry ears and decided to rent a house with a yard down the mountain.

She had originally planned to sleep in a tree to save rent for food.

After moving into the new house and catching a few stray kittens and puppies, her food expenses quickly ran dry again.

“It's all your fault! You eat so much every day. Go dig up some ginseng!”

Little Buddy whimpered a couple of times, wanting to say Shen Miao ate more than it did every day, but afraid of punishment, the tiger just whined and obediently went back up the mountain to continue hard labor. Meanwhile, Shen Miao took two black-and-white dairy cow-patterned cats to the pet hospital for vaccinations.

There were still people waiting in line at the pet hospital, so Shen Miao had no choice but to sit with the two black-and-white cats and wait.

The people in the hospital were quiet, but the four-legged animals were about to make a ruckus.

Shen Miao blocked her ears in distress, but the howls and wails inside the hospital still pierced her heart.

“Woof woof woof! I won’t get a shot! They’re killing dogs, killing dogs! Awoooo!”

“Meow meow ow ow ow! It hurts so much! Meow, the cat treats are so good, but my butt hurts, my cat butt! It hurts, it hurts so good! Awooo!”

“No no no, human, come back here! How dare you neuter me! Cut off my proud dog balls, just wait! Dog revenge is never too late! When the dog comes back, your house will be gone!”

“Woof woof woof, I’m not sick, really not sick, I’m pretending, he’s lying! I don’t want shots or surgery, ahhh!”

These cat and dog cries were contagious. Soon, even the cats and dogs waiting began trembling.

The two dairy cow cats in Shen Miao’s arms started going crazy and yelling, but they quickly quieted down after Shen Miao gave them a sharp glare and a slap on their cat behinds.

“You’re both black-and-white spots. Don’t drive me crazy and test my patience! Don’t embarrass the black-and-white pattern!”

Under the authority of the black-and-white spots, the two little cows quickly calmed down, obediently curling up in Shen Miao’s arms, waiting for their shots.

Shen Miao took the chance to pet their soft fur, enjoying the cats.

Not to mention, their black-and-white fur felt distinctly different! Petting them felt amazing!

After finally reaching the front of the line, Shen Miao just stepped forward when she bumped into Zhou Xingyao coming out of another consultation room.

Zhou Xingyao saw it was Shen Miao and instinctively flinched, but then his eyes lit up and his expression turned odd:

“Shen Miao? It’s you again? Have you found out where I am again?”

Shen Miao didn’t want to engage, but the corridor was narrow, so she clearly saw bite marks on Zhou Xingyao’s hand, and in his other hand was a medical form.

Apparently, he was bitten by a cat and came for vaccination.

【Meow meow, it was me who bit him! Hehe meow】

The dairy cow cat in her arms proudly lifted its head and wagged its black tail back and forth, begging for pets and praise.

Last time, while waiting outside a restaurant for food, it saw this formidable young lady slap this man away with one hand.

The cat liked the strong, so when it saw Zhou Xingyao again, it immediately bit him, trying to earn merit in front of the black-and-white king.

Sure enough, hearing the scheming cat’s explanation, Shen Miao patted it approvingly:

“Well done, I’ll give you an extra chicken leg when we get home!”

“Meow, chicken leg, yay!”

The girl and cat chatted happily, while Zhou Xingyao, left standing aside like air, looked very displeased.

He had just thought Shen Miao came here to apologize, but now seeing her silent for a long time, he suspiciously scrutinized her.

“Shen Miao, what exactly are you doing here? Don’t tell me it’s just a coincidence!”

However, Shen Miao didn’t even listen. As a human, answering politely would be expected, but now, as a panda, there was no need to occupy her panda brain with irrelevant two-legged creature chatter.

She glanced at Zhou Xingyao and said to herself:

“Your face is healing pretty fast.”

Could it be she didn’t slap hard enough?

Damn it, too much strength is really hard to gauge!

“...Do you mean you want to apologize to me?

Fine, apologize then. I’m listening.”

Before Zhou Xingyao could finish, he saw Shen Miao completely ignore him, step past, and grab the arm of the doctor ahead.

...What was she doing? Was this also to get his attention?

Zhou Xingyao frowned and stepped forward disapprovingly:

“Shen Miao, what are you doing? Let go of the doctor!”

With a sharp slap, Shen Miao forcefully opened a hand that seemed to appear out of nowhere, tightly gripping the doctor’s wrist, and said:

“You are trying to take advantage and harm the dog! This dog is not sick at all!”

“What are you talking about? Let go of me!”

“Wuwu, finally someone understands what the woof says!

Quick! Save the woof, save the woof! Woof doesn’t want to die, ahhh!”
