Chapter 73: Humble-Bragging

After the snow leopard returned to the base with her, it rubbed against the bottom of her pants and lingered around for a while, before it suddenly leaped off and brought back a second snow leopard.
Bai Lin looked at the two snow leopards, and they looked back at her.
“Your wife?” Bai Lin tilted her head and teased.
The snow leopard did not understand what she meant, but it imitated her, tilting its head and whining softly.
[Help! It’s so cute! I’m going crazy from how cute it is! Lin-jie, give me one, give me one!]
[Hahaha, isn’t this snow leopard the same one that was with Bai Xi just now?] [I compared the patterns of the two leopards. It actually is.]
[When Bai Xi first met the leopard, she even asked it to eat other people. But she and Bai Lin are the only ones in the forest. That’s all I’m saying. Everyone understands.]
[Who doesn’t want to get out of danger? It’s all a natural reaction. Don’t be too harsh on our Xixi, okay?]
[Ah, right, right, right. I hope that when Bai Xi pushes you to the snow leopard and lets it eat you, you can still ask people not to be too harsh on Xixi.]
The base camp consisted of a few cabins. The amenities were complete, but there was no food. They would also need firewood to keep warm.
Bai Lin went outside to pick up some branches. After warming up the cabin, she looked at the time.
It was almost sunset.
After she dressed up, she went out with the two leopards.
[Utility jacket paired with a trapper hat, my name is Bai Lin remember it. The snow leopards lead the way, Lin-jie’s the coolest in the world.] [Hahaha, thanks to the talented netizen, I’ve had my laugh of the day.]
Bai Xi was still lost.
The map was basically a deadly scribble. She had no idea how Bai Lin was able to determine the direction.
It was also possible that she did not know how to move around and was just trying to be act cool as she was too embarrassed to show her fear in front of millions of netizens.
Therefore, Bai Lin might be like her now—lost and hungry.
Bai Xi relied on her fantasy of Bai Lin to support herself. However, the sun was about to set. If she still could not find the base camp, the forest in the dark would be even more terrifying.
Bai Xi was cold and hungry. She was almost numb from the cold. She could not help but stop to rest and open her suitcase to take out the food she had prepared.
It was a few bags of beef jerky.
Just as she was about to eat it, a huge creature suddenly attacked her. She cried out in shock, and the beef jerky fell to the ground, snatched away by the wild beast.
She looked over in shock and bewilderment. It was an exceptionally strong snow leopard.
She suddenly broke into a smile of surprise. “Nice leopard, you’re back? Are you hungry? I’ll give you all the beef jerky!”
The snow leopard that the production team had inserted would not attack people. It might even be a clue. If she could build a good relationship with it or tame it, she might be able to get it to take her to the base camp!
Despite that, Bai Xi’s little plan was immediately destroyed when she saw the person who walked over unhurriedly.
“Jiejie? What are you doing here?”
Bai Lin was accompanied by another snow leopard. The one that had snatched her beef jerky returned to Bai Lin’s side as well.
It did not even eat the beef jerky but placed it by Bai Lin’s feet.
Bai Lin did not answer. She scolded with a frown, “This thing isn’t even enough to fill the gaps between your teeth. Why are you snatching it? Send it back.”
The snow leopard whined a few times in a low voice and took the beef jerky back to Bai Xi with its mouth.
Bai Xi was stiff the whole time and looked at Bai Lin in a daze.
What did she do? Why was the snow leopard so obedient?
A beast was a beast. It would not understand like a human and would not know who was the one who was really good to it!
Bai Lin was only treating them as food reserve and coveted their beautiful fur. They would regret it when they died!
Bai Xi’s face was twisted with jealousy. Bai Lin did not care about her feelings as she put her hands in her pockets. “I’ve found the base camp. Follow me.” With that, she turned and left.
It was only 6 p.m., but the sky was already completely dark. Bai Xi breathed in and out repeatedly and finally suppressed her anger. She carried her suitcase and hurriedly caught up.
“Jiejie, why do they listen to you so well?” Bai Xi’s heart was oozing with hatred, but she told Bai Lin gently, “I love animals too and have always wanted to keep a large animal like snow leopards. Can you give one to me?”
“The snow leopards aren’t mine. They belong to the production crew,” Bai Lin replied.
What she meant was no.
Bai Xi did not back down. “Then how did you make them so obedient?”
Bai Lin looked troubled. “I don’t know either. They just stick to me. I can’t get rid of them no matter what I do. They’re really hindering my work. Sigh..”
