Chapter 110: Chapter 110: Little Elephant Me Is About to Have a Home
The people around him frowned, disapproving of his actions.
Whether it was real or fake, he shouldn’t just kick it.
The man kicked the elephant’s leg. When the elephant ignored him, he grew even more audacious, picking up a rock from the ground and hurling it at its leg.
"See! It’s obviously fake. This leg is probably robotic. No wonder it’s not reacting."
"Only a bunch of idiots like you would think it’s a real elephant," he sneered.
Then he went back to kicking and hitting the elephant’s leg.
The elephant was lost in its melancholy when it suddenly felt an insect bite its leg. It turned its head and saw a tiny human kicking and hitting its leg.
Its trunk twitched. It was getting angry.
Seeing the elephant’s reaction, the crowd was even more convinced it was real!
"Get away from it! Stop hitting it! It’s real!" The crowd instantly backed away, though one person couldn’t resist shouting a warning.
The man was unconcerned. "You bunch of morons, how could a real elephant get into the city?"
The elephant swung its trunk, swatting the little human away, and trumpeted in displeasure, trying to shoo him off.
The man was flung aside. His eyes filled with shock and terror as he stared at the creature. "E-E-E... Elephant!!"
"Don’t... don’t eat me!" He immediately scrambled to his feet, ignoring the pain, and ran to hide behind a group of young women.
He had successfully enraged the elephant. It glared at him, furious.
The young women were startled.
Before they could react, one of the women felt a shove from behind and was sent stumbling straight toward the elephant.
"Eat her! Don’t eat me! I didn’t do it on purpose! They put me up to it!"
"If you have to eat someone, eat them!" The man’s face was deathly pale with panic, but his eyes held a sinister glint, egging the elephant on.
"They’re delicious!"
The elephant grew even angrier. ’How can this ugly two-legger be so vile!’
’I may be an elephant, but I’m not stupid!’
’Everyone knows this! If an animal hurts a human, it gets put down! They don’t call it animal cruelty; they call it a ’public safety measure’!’
’I won’t fall for it!’
’That despicable villain, trying to trick me into eating someone so he can watch me get put down!’
The elephant wrapped its trunk around a nearby trash can, stepped over the woman who had collapsed on the ground in fear, and charged straight for the man.
The man turned to run, but the elephant simply hurled the entire bin at him.
Garbage rained down from above, pinning the man underneath.
It was a scene of tough love, delivered by a tyrannical trash can.
Gu Zhao was stunned as she watched from the car. ’Is there always this much drama in the big city?!’
Gu Xulin was equally shocked. ’Did I wake up on the wrong side of the bed or something? I’m seeing an elephant taking a stroll, and it’s even beating up a scumbag while it’s at it.’
They had seen the entire incident unfold with perfect clarity.
The furious elephant dragged the bin over and began dumping its contents all over him.
The stench was overwhelming.
The onlookers were all recording videos and chattering excitedly. Seeing that the elephant was only interested in revenge, not random violence, no one stepped in to help.
They all gathered around to watch the show. Some even thought the elephant was doing a fantastic job.
"Nice one! The elephant’s taking out the trash!"
Someone posted the video online.
For the first time in a while, a new hashtag started trending that had nothing to do with Gu Zhao! Within a short time, it had climbed into the top ten.
[This is so satisfying! That guy’s a complete psycho, pushing a woman in front of him like that. He’s scum.]
[He has less humanity than an animal.]
[Ever since watching the Monkey King, I’ve realized most animals are actually really smart and kind-hearted.]
[Speaking of which, where did the Monkey King go? He suddenly ended his stream and vanished. Don’t tell me he actually got arrested.]
The very person being discussed online, Gu Zhao, had seen enough of the show and was about to leave when someone shouted her name.
"Gu Zhao, my little darling! It’s me!" A flashy sports car pulled up. Chen Xinjie steered with one hand while waving energetically with the other.
He had spotted the familiar red car up ahead and had been chasing it like a madman!
Who would have guessed it? He’d gone to bail them out of the police station, but by the time he got there, they had already vanished!
He’d been driving all over the place, a lone wolf on the prowl.
Gu Xulin, who had been about to drive away, also heard the familiar voice. He rolled down his window and was greeted by the sight of Chen Xinjie, hair a mess in the wind but still managing to strike a cool pose. Gu Xulin was speechless.
Having finally caught up to Gu Zhao, Chen Xinjie was beaming!
He had prepared a huge gift for her! But by the time he arrived, he was told Gu Zhao had been taken to the station!
’Could I let a gift I spent so long preparing go unseen? No way!’
’Chase!’
"Gu Zhao, my little darling~ I got you a present! You’re going to absolutely love it!" Chen Xinjie’s eyes crinkled with a smile, clearly delighted with his own choice of gift.
He pulled a gift box from his car. It wasn’t large, about the size of a soccer ball.
The moment Gu Zhao heard the word "present," she shot out of the car like a rocket.
"Huh? Which zoo did that elephant escape from?" Chen Xinjie asked, turning his head and noticing the elephant, which was still busy burying the scumbag under a mountain of trash.
The elephant’s body went rigid. ’What did I just hear?!’
’Gu Zhao, my little darling!’
’Have I found her?!’
’This is the thirty-eighth Gu Zhao! Is this the Gu Zhao I’m looking for?’
It turned its head and saw a small girl.
Even from a distance, it could sense that this little girl was sweet-smelling and gentle.
’I want her!’
’I declare it! I like this one! I want THIS Gu Zhao!’
’From now on, I am this Gu Zhao’s elephant!’
’As for that other two-legger and the Gu Zhao who was supposed to be my buyer, I don’t care! I want this one!’
The elephant abandoned its pile of garbage and started to lumber toward Gu Zhao.
But after just two steps, it stopped. ’I think I might be a little stinky.’
The elephant shot a glare at the man buried in garbage. ’It’s all his fault!’
The elephant didn’t dare approach. It was afraid she would find it disgusting.
’I’ll go find her after I’ve had a bath!’
Meanwhile, Gu Zhao opened the present and found a chubby, pink little snake inside!
"This is a special mutant snake that I hatched myself," Chen Xinjie explained.
The little pink snake’s eyes met Gu Zhao’s. After a second of silence, the snake coiled itself into a tight ball.
Gu Xulin was surprised. "Huh, this snake is actually ignoring Gu Xiao Zhao!"
Only Gu Zhao remained silent. Because to her, the little snake was screaming its head off.
’AAAAAAAAAAH! Should I poke my head out or just wrap myself around her?! BOOHOO! What if she doesn’t like me?!’
’Bad two-legger! So bad! If you’re going to give me to a cutie like her, why didn’t you dress me up?!’
’You could have at least put a bow on me! I have to, have to, HAVE TO stay by her side!’
’If she doesn’t want me... if she doesn’t want me... I’ll just cry!’
Chen Xinjie’s attention, however, had already been drawn back to the elephant. He was completely oblivious to the little snake’s emotional turmoil.
After explaining the gift to Gu Zhao, he stepped away to contact the local city zoo.
’Seriously, who’s so careless that their elephant is just out for a stroll?’
Gu Zhao took the little pink snake home.
The elephant watched them leave, feeling utterly heartbroken.
A specialized team arrived to capture the elephant. They were prepared for a fight, but as soon as the elephant saw them, it walked right into the transport vehicle and let them close the cage.
The elephant waved its trunk, urging them. ’Hurry up! I need to go take a bath!’
The zoo staff were stunned.
But the elephant’s cooperation made their job easy. Once they got it back to the zoo, it was incredibly docile.
It was perfectly cooperative during its physical exam and bath.
It even snuck out once during its bath, causing a panic at the zoo. Turns out, it was just stealing flowers!
It had stolen the flowers to put in its bathwater, so it could take a flower-petal bath.
The staff: ...
「Three days later...」
Inside Gu Xulin’s private villa.
Gu Zhao and Gu Xulin went to bed early. The third live episode of their reality show was tomorrow. Knowing the director’s personality, one of them was bound to be the unlucky victim of a jump scare.
Or perhaps this time, the production crew would come in person to scare them both!
With a silent, mutual understanding, neither told the other as they secretly set traps by their doors. Then, with a perfect display of sibling harmony, they returned to their respective rooms to sleep.
In the dead of night, at a certain zoo, an elephant stealthily scaled a wall and escaped.
’After soaking in flower baths for so many days, I finally smell nice and fragrant! At last, I can go see my sweet-smelling treasure!’
Heeding the warnings of the other zoo animals, it carefully and safely made its way out of the zoo.
Then, with the help of the small animals outside, it found its sweet-smelling treasure’s home at three in the morning!
But arriving at the exact same time was the reality show’s production crew!
