I raise furry animals and fly them to my motherland.

Chapter 48: Tease Humans

When this idea came to mind, Xu Ying couldn't wait to see the results.

I just don't know if Ling Yu will develop a psychological trauma towards this big devil.

After recovering from Brother Leopard's scent attack, Xu Ying put on his helmet, pulled up the black goggles on the helmet, mustered up his courage, and came up to the cheetah leader holding a small flashlight.

In the light of the flashlight, Xu Ying saw an obvious ulcer on the roof of the cheetah leader's mouth, and the surrounding tissue was inflamed and swollen.

"The mouth ulcer is indeed quite serious. From the look of the wound, did you get stabbed by a sharp bone while eating?"

The cheetah leader nodded and let out a low whimper, like a big cat acting coquettishly, which was a sign of pain from the wound.

Cheetahs don't roar like lions and tigers. Instead, they sound like kittens, purring and chirping, in stark contrast to their appearance.

Xu Ying couldn't help but stroke the cheetah leader's ears to comfort him.

Leopard fur feels smooth and soft, denser and stronger than a domestic cat's fur, and very chewy when poked.

This is because their fur is very resilient, which prevents them from being scratched while running and moving through bushes.

[Rescuer, is there any hope for me?]
The majestic cheetah leader now lowered his head, looking depressed and self-deprecating: "Now, because of my bad breath, I don't dare compete with other males for mates. I can't even eat my favorite meat. I've lost a lot of weight and don't have the energy to fight other males."
When female cheetahs are in heat, they release specific smells and calls to attract male cheetahs. Often, multiple male cheetahs will compete for the opportunity to mate with the same female.

In order to win the favor of females, male cheetahs are all involuntarily improving their hunting ability, running speed, appearance...

"Don't worry, it's just that the ulcer is a bit serious and it will take time to heal."

Xu Ying patted the cheetah's back encouragingly. Wow, such elegant and strong back muscles!
She took out saline solution from the medical kit and first performed simple disinfection and debridement on the cheetah leader's wound.

"If you come back to the shelter with me and stay for a while, it will be more convenient for me to disinfect your mouth and apply medicine to it."

"If you want to stay in your own territory, I'll ride my motorcycle over here every day. It's not too far."

"Let's go back to the shelter! We heard from Black Cat Sheriff that you have a champion who has set a human world record, and we're all curious!"
The cheetah leader wagged his tail. If he had experience coaching a human world champion, it might give him some extra points in his mate-hunting resume.
"Okay, let's leave now!"

Cheetah coach took the initiative to come to the scene to provide guidance, and Xu Ying expressed his warm welcome.

Xu Ying packed up the medical kit and pointed the cheetahs in the direction.

The cheetah leader was anxious to go to the rescue station for better treatment, so he left first, while the other three cheetahs circled around Xu Ying and whispered to each other.

There are four cheetahs in this group, all of them are males.

Male cheetahs are accustomed to living in groups, while female cheetahs usually live alone and only form temporary small groups when raising their cubs.

[Thank you so much for coming, rescuer. We've been stinking for almost half a month.]
[Besides, since the boss can't find a partner, he has to talk to us grown men every day, and every time we have to endure the stench for a long time.]
[Yes, but in front of the boss, we can't show it. We have to pretend everything is normal and relieve the boss's worries. It's so uncomfortable~]
Xu Ying smiled so hard that her eyes curved. It turned out that cheetahs also had the social skills in the workplace.

Returning to the rescue station with the cheetah group, Xu Ying did not drive his motorcycle very fast.

While cheetahs are renowned for their speed, reaching speeds exceeding 100 kilometers per hour over short distances, they can only maintain this speed for 20 to 30 seconds, requiring a rest period of only 400 to 500 meters. Their acceleration is similar to that of a car; their body, the "engine," heats up and needs to be dissipated.

If the body temperature is too high, it can be life-threatening.

Xu Ying and the cheetah brothers walked and stopped, and returned to the rescue station after more than 40 minutes.

The small rescue station could not accommodate four big leopards. Xu Ying looked around and saw that Ling Yu should be taking a nap in the RV at this time.

The cheetah leader and Xu Ying returned to the shelter to get some medicine, while the other three cheetahs consciously decided not to crowd into the shelter: "Let's see if there's a suitable place for us to stay nearby."
The cheetahs were more than happy to be able to temporarily escape from their boss's bad breath attack.

Xu Ying took the cheetah leader back to the rescue station and prescribed medicine for it.

The little fennec foxes looked at the new big guy curiously.

The outgoing fox San San immediately jumped onto the cheetah leader's back and stomped on it: [Wow, such smooth and fine fur~]
Led by Fox San San, the other little foxes also jumped onto the leopard leader and lined up one by one to slide down the leopard leader's smooth back.

Wuhu! So fun! The Gobi bear's belly can be used as a trampoline, and the leopard's back can be used as a slide.
[Brother Cheetah, have you been at the rescue center all this time? Can you play with us?]
Surrounded by fennec fox cubs, the cheetah leader nodded shyly, just like an introverted big brother surrounded by children.

Cheetahs, like the common pet cats in the community, are members of the feline subfamily and are docile by nature. Generally, they will not actively attack unless the other party shows hostility.

While Xu Ying was rummaging through the medicine cabinet to get some medicine, he turned around and saw that the little fennec foxes had treated Brother Leopard as their new toy, so he quickly picked them up.

It's like a leopard in plain land being bullied by a fox.

"Why are you bullying the newcomers?"

The fox cubs looked innocent: [No, it also likes us rolling on it~]
The cheetah leader also nodded in agreement.

Xu Ying had no choice but to let them go.

After feeding the cheetah leader medicine according to its weight, Xu Ying rested for a while. The sky outside the rescue station gradually darkened, and it was soon time for Ling Yu to train.

Xu Ying pried the door of the rescue station a crack and saw Ling Yu and the Gobi Bear already setting up their trap. She turned to the cheetah leader and whispered, "Brother Leopard, chase him at half your usual hunting speed..."

Since the cheetah leader fell ill, his strength has declined and he is unable to compete with other cheetahs. Now he is very happy to have the opportunity to tease humans and regain his sense of existence.

At this moment, Ling Yu, who was placing the hurdles, sneezed several times in succession for some reason.

After Ling Yu measured and checked the distance between the hurdles, Xu Ying appeared at the finish line on time with a stopwatch.

As soon as Ling Yu looked up and saw Xu Ying, he froze immediately.

Xu Ying leaned against the railing and smiled at him, the dimples on her face radiating. "Brother, what a coincidence! We're out for training."

The brighter Xu Ying smiled, the more panicked Ling Yu became.
