Chapter 160: Exiled?
Chapter 160: Chapter 160: Exiled?
In the end, Ye Zexi was tied up and forcibly sent back.
As soon as they landed, police cars surrounded the helicopter.
They took the Ye Family siblings away.
Meanwhile, Gu Zhao was completely unaware of any of this.
She was busy showering the animals with affection.
"We’re leaving in one more day, so I’ve decided to throw a farewell party. Let’s have it right here."
Gu Zhao decided on the spot on the spur of the moment.
"Sigh, I’m really going to miss you all, so you have to come, okay?"
"Just show up. You don’t need to bring any fish or shrimp."
"Even if I, Gu Zhao, have to eat snow, I’ll find food for you all to eat."
Gu Zhao’s speech was incredibly moving.
The Tiger Whales were so touched they couldn’t stand it. They immediately declared that they would handle the food!
Gu Zhao gave them a look that said, ’Are you looking down on me?!’
Tiger Whale Number One said, "Big Sis~ We know you’re super capable! But we want to help~ Please just give us this chance! Otherwise, Tiger Whale Number Two is going to kill himself!"
Tiger Whale Number Two looked bewildered. "Huh? Me? Oh, right! I’ll kill myself!"
The Tiger Whales chimed in one after another, and in an instant, it turned into them begging Gu Zhao not to do a thing.
After placating Gu Zhao, the pod of Tiger Whales dove into the water to fish.
Gu Zhao then used the same method to inform the other animals.
She spent half the day notifying a whole bunch of animals, both those she knew and those she didn’t.
Five hours until the end of this season.
Gu Zhao was sleeping.
Three hours left on the countdown.
Gu Zhao was sleeping.
With two hours to go, the animals arrived with food.
Gu Xulin and the others busied themselves preparing the ingredients.
The animals helped.
Gu Zhao was sleeping.
One hour left on the countdown.
The farewell party begins!
Gu Zhao woke up.
Time to eat!
Out on the snow, basically every animal Gu Zhao had met even once had shown up, except for those that had died or been eaten.
There were even many animals Gu Zhao had never seen before.
For example, the two fluffy white mochi balls at her feet.
"WHIMPER~ Big Sis~ Pet my head!" a sweet, babyish voice pleaded, its big eyes welling with tears.
Gu Zhao’s face flushed.
"Good babies! Give Big Sis a kiss!" Gu Zhao immediately buried her face in their fluffy bellies and took several deep, satisfying inhales.
The two mochi balls grunted and squeaked.
The little fox had also come. It sat quietly on its own tail, watching Gu Zhao without making a fuss.
Waiting for its turn.
Gu Zhao shared the love equally, giving each of them a kiss.
The little wolf hid in Gu Xulin’s arms. ’All the different smells are scaring me to death!’
Zhong Mingrui said nothing, just kept stuffing his face.
Jiang Yifeng and Jiang Yuchen were studying an Arctic Bear up close.
The Arctic Bear cooperatively stretched out its little paw.
"What else do you want to see? My butt? My butt is awesome!"
"I could crush you guys to death with one sit!"
The Arctic Bear proudly showed off for them. ’It’s been a long time since someone with such good taste showed up!’
’Everyone else likes those little things that are barely a mouthful! Hmph! They’re not as cool as us.’
It stuck its butt out at the two of them and wagged its tail.
"Look, look!"
Jiang Yuchen was diligently taking notes.
’I’m going to switch my major to humanities in the future!’
After everyone had eaten and drunk their fill, the production crew came to pick them up.
Gu Zhao looked at the animals, her heart full of reluctance to leave.
"Has everyone eaten their fill? If so, then allow me to say a couple of things."
Gu Zhao stood up, clasped her small hands behind her back in a dignified manner, and walked to the center.
"Ahem, first of all!"
Gu Zhao stopped talking.
Song Zhe waited patiently for Gu Zhao to continue, but she just walked back and sat down.
"? Didn’t you say you’d say a couple of things?"
Gu Zhao nodded. "I did. ’Ahem,’ that was the first thing. ’First of all,’ that was the second. I’m done."
Gu Xulin was unfazed when he heard this. ’What else could you expect from a kid with no ink in her belly?’
Song Yi’s eyes, however, lit up. ’I’ve learned a new trick! I’ll do this for the New Year’s talent show!’
The group laughed and joked around.
Until the production crew’s helicopter arrived.
The animals also sensed the coming departure, and one by one, they all crowded around Gu Zhao, nuzzling against her.
"Big Sis... will we ever see you again...?" the penguins asked, their eyes full of sorrow.
"You guys probably don’t stand a chance, but I think we will!" a few Arctic Bears said, barging in recklessly.
Their huge heads squished Gu Zhao out of shape.
The penguins were indignant but helpless. Compared to the Arctic Bears, their lifespans were indeed not very long.
"Don’t worry, we’ll see her for you! We can even take a dump on the Arctic Bears’ graves for you!" a few sea elephants chimed in, squeezing forward.
Sea elephants have a lifespan of about 50 years.
Amidst the crowd of enthusiastic animals, One-Eye quietly watched Gu Zhao.
In the sea, the Unicorne Whale was crying its heart out. "WAAAAH, we never even got to have our Xiangxiang, WAAAH, how can we be losing her already?"
The Tiger Whales were also filled with sorrow.
After bidding them farewell, Gu Zhao and the others gathered their things and boarded the helicopter.
As the helicopter flew on, the animals on the ground grew smaller and smaller, until they blended into the white landscape.
Gu Zhao wasn’t sad. ’It’s not like I’m never coming back. I’m a little rich lady now! I can come back once a week in the future!’
’So much money! How am I ever going to spend it all?!’
’Maybe I should just invest in a few Arctic animal conservation organizations!’
Gu Zhao looked at the vast, white snow-covered mountains and waved.
"This is great! I can finally go home and get a good night’s sleep!!" Gu Zhao said, lazily shrinking back into her seat.
Gu Xulin was speechless. ’Didn’t you just sleep for several hours?’
On the other helicopters, there was also cheerful laughter.
"I’m going to switch to humanities when I get back!" Jiang Yuchen informed Jiang Yifeng with a deadpan expression.
Jiang Yuchen’s expression was numb. This experience had been a huge shock to him.
’The nature and animals he experienced, and the ones Gu Zhao experienced... it was like they weren’t from the same world.’
It was like a dream.
He had gone from his usual days of being chased up trees by animals to now eating with them and even being able to study them hands-on.
"I get you! I’m going to medical school! No more adventuring!"
Jiang Yifeng said with a serious face.
Jiang Yuchen was puzzled. "What kind of medicine? Don’t you hate desk jobs?"
Jiang Yifeng: "That’s because I don’t like a boring life. But I’m going to be a doctor at a psychiatric hospital!!"
"In the future, if I meet a patient who can understand plants, I can proudly say, ’I’ve eaten with animals! An Arctic Bear stuck its butt out for me to see!’"
Jiang Yuchen: "..."
’Oh, whatever. I’ll support him.’
’It’s one more person to share Mom and Dad’s wrath.’
Gu Jiao was thinking about her spicy strips. ’I’m going to eat my fill when I get home this time! I’m craving them so much!’
Zhong Mingrui was hugging his big seashell, studying which piece to have inlaid in his tooth.
It wasn’t until they noticed the helicopter had refueled several times that they realized they still hadn’t arrived home.
Everyone finally realized something was wrong.
"Where are we going?" Song Yi asked, staring blankly out the window.
Song Zhe looked warily at the pilot. "Are you after money or our bodies?! Whatever you’re after, can’t you just take my brother and let me go?"
Song Yi was in disbelief, then he immediately copied his brother. "Take my brother! With his terrible luck, he’s the perfect gift! Just give him to whoever you hate! I guarantee they’ll be cursed by his bad mojo!"
Gu Zhao realized it too, and she silently clenched her fists.
Gu Xulin also prepared to take over the controls at a moment’s notice.
The pilot, trembling, continued to fly the helicopter.
Just then, the helicopter began to descend.
Gu Zhao immediately looked outside. It was still the open sea, but there was a large island nearby.
The island was covered in vegetation.
The helicopter hovered a few dozen meters above the sea’s surface.
"Um... could you please jump?" the pilot said cautiously.
There was nowhere to land on the island.
But saying this, he was terrified Gu Zhao would hit him.
The pilots in the other helicopters were saying the same thing.
"HUH??? Exile? You know what, just rob us instead!"
The guests had a meltdown. They wanted to go home and sleep!!
