“Has Mommy Bear discovered something this time?”

“Treasure-hunting Mommy Bear is back!

Don’t get in the way of her treasure hunt!”

“Mommy Bear: Daddy, hurry!

I found something good!”

“Mommy Bear: Come on, come chase me!

Hehehe~”

“Hahaha, the comments are so creative.

I’m dying of laughter.

Ever since I started following this streamer, my resentment toward working life has decreased dramatically.”

“There are handsome guys, giant pandas, adorable cubs, and beautiful natural scenery.

Everything is so healing that all my workplace resentment disappears, hahaha!”

“Wait, listen carefully.

Does that sound like some kind of animal roaring?”

“Huh?

Could some animals be fighting?

Maybe Mommy Bear is taking us there to watch.

Haha.”

Mother Bear’s sudden behavior immediately aroused the curiosity of the viewers.

Then, a strange roar came from the forest.

An animal stretched its neck and stared in the direction of the drone.

The chaotic sounds gradually grew louder.

Mother Bear’s expression also became serious, with a hint of anger in her eyes.

Filled with curiosity, Su Lin followed the source of the noise and soon saw two or three golden-furred animals rolling around on the ground.

They were fighting.

The moment Su Lin saw them clearly, his eyes widened in surprise.

Their fur was long, soft, and a brilliant golden color that shimmered like threads of gold beneath the dappled sunlight.

Their chests and bellies were pale yellow or white, their tails were long and thick, and their noses were distinctly upturned.

These animals were none other than Sichuan golden snub-nosed monkeys.

“A monkey!

It’s a monkey!

And it’s so fluffy!

I really want to pet one!”

“Holy crap!

Those are Sichuan golden snub-nosed monkeys!

We actually encountered a rare animal the moment we entered the forest!”

“A Sichuan golden snub-nosed monkey!

It’s really a Sichuan golden snub-nosed monkey!”

The moment the animals appeared on camera, many viewers immediately recognized them.

“Family, you can see them clearly, right?

These are Sichuan golden snub-nosed monkeys.

They’re Class I protected wild animals in China and are among the world’s most beautiful and precious primates.”

Su Lin couldn’t hide his excitement and immediately began explaining what he knew about them.

“I don’t know if everyone has heard this before, but some people believe that the Sichuan golden snub-nosed monkey may have inspired the appearance of the legendary Monkey King.”

“Ah, so this is the monkey that inspired the Monkey King?”

“Isn’t Sun Wukong’s prototype supposed to be a macaque?”

“Didn’t someone say it was based on the macaques from Mount Emei?”

Sun Wukong: Hey!

I, Old Sun, am no mischievous monkey!

If you’re looking for one, go to Mount Emei!

“Hahaha!

The monkeys of Mount Emei have been dragged into this again!”

“I’m laughing so hard!

Poor monkeys!”

“The Sichuan golden snub-nosed monkeys are gorgeous!

But are they fighting?”

Su Lin also noticed that three golden snub-nosed monkeys were currently fighting on the ground.

After observing them carefully, he realized that one of the larger monkeys seemed to be trying to separate the other two, while the remaining two were fighting fiercely.

On the lower branches of the surrounding trees, groups of golden snub-nosed monkeys jumped from branch to branch, making excited calls as though they were cheering on the fight.

A little farther away, another smaller and thinner monkey was quietly grooming the fur of a larger monkey.

The two seemed completely uninterested in the commotion.

“Roar!”

Mother Bear suddenly let out an angry roar at the golden snub-nosed monkeys.

Su Lin was stunned.

This was the first time he had seen Mother Bear become genuinely angry.

Could it be that the giant panda and these monkeys had some kind of grudge?

The panda’s roar sounded threatening.

The monkeys that had been fighting moments earlier immediately scattered.

The monkeys in the trees also became restless, chattering loudly.

“Waaah…”

“Chirp!

Chirp!

Chirp!”

A giant panda was actually having a verbal battle with an entire troop of monkeys.

“Hahahaha!

Holy crap, are they actually arguing?!”

“This scene is incredible!

Mommy Bear is seriously arguing with the monkeys!”

“I’ve seen plenty of neighborhood aunties arguing downstairs, but this is the first time I’ve seen a panda and a monkey arguing!”

“What are they saying?

Someone translate this!

This is hilarious!”

“Let them fight!

I want to see who wins!

Hahaha!”

“Although…

I kind of want to know who would actually win.”

“If it’s one-on-one, the adorable national treasure definitely has the advantage.

But if the whole troop attacks…”

“Hehehe, I can’t wait to see what happens.”

Seeing this bizarre scene, not only were the viewers stunned, even Su Lin found it unbelievable.

Giant pandas and Sichuan golden snub-nosed monkeys share the same mountainous habitat, so encountering each other wasn’t particularly strange.

But watching them argue like a group of quarrelsome neighbors was genuinely hilarious.

“Mommy Bear, calm down.

Calm down.”

Su Lin cautiously approached the giant panda and tried to soothe her.

The cubs in his arms also seemed to hear the commotion.

Their tiny heads tilted upward curiously, even though their eyes had not yet opened.

“Waaah…

They’re so noisy.”

Su Lin’s mouth twitched.

Didn’t you just barge into their territory?

And now you’re complaining that they’re noisy?

He silently complained to himself.

“Chirp, chirp!

Leave!

Outsiders, leave!”

The golden snub-nosed monkeys continued calling from nearby, seemingly urging the panda to leave.

Su Lin wanted to get Mother Bear away as quickly as possible.

Unlike the notorious macaques around Mount Emei, which were known for approaching people, stealing food, and occasionally scratching visitors, Sichuan golden snub-nosed monkeys were generally much more cautious around humans.

But wild animals had strong territorial instincts.

Naturally, they weren’t happy about a giant panda suddenly entering their territory.

“Alright, alright.

Everyone calm down.

I’ll take her away.”

Su Lin tried to persuade Mother Bear to leave.

But she refused to cooperate.

Instead, she turned around and roared at the monkeys again.

Then she looked back at Su Lin with an aggrieved expression, as if she had suffered some terrible injustice.

“Waaah…

They’re too noisy.

Hit them!”

Su Lin was stunned for a moment.

Then he understood.

The “hole” Mother Bear had mentioned earlier should have been her former den.

The giant panda had found the Sichuan golden snub-nosed monkeys too noisy and had been disturbed by them.

Unable to tolerate the disturbance, she had abandoned her original den.

That explained why she had appeared in the area where Su Lin first encountered her—especially when she was about to give birth.

Su Lin remembered that animals sometimes abandoned their usual shelters when they sensed that the environment was unsafe for giving birth.

So Mother Bear hadn’t simply wandered into his path by chance.

She had returned to the area near her former home.

And that was why she was so angry with the monkeys.

Could it be that my encounter with Mother Bear during her difficult labor was actually because of these Sichuan golden snub-nosed monkeys?

If that was the case, then these monkeys had indirectly saved the giant panda’s life.

If Mother Bear hadn’t left her den, Su Lin might never have encountered her.

And if he hadn’t found her in time, the consequences of her difficult labor could have been disastrous.

“Mommy Bear, calm down.”

“Strictly speaking, you should actually thank these monkeys.

They may have saved your life.”

Su Lin crouched beside her and gently stroked her round head.

“Otherwise, you wouldn’t have left your den, and you wouldn’t have met me—the person who helped you give birth and your new foster father, haha.”

The viewers immediately exploded.

“What’s happening?

The monkey saved her life?”

“Wait!

Are you saying SuSu encountered the giant panda because of the golden snub-nosed monkeys?”

“What kind of plot is this?!

Hahaha!

I’m actually watching a chain reaction of animal encounters!”

“It’s like the animals are connected by fate!”

Mother Bear blinked her beady black eyes.

Her gaze moved between Su Lin and the golden snub-nosed monkeys, as though she were trying to understand what he was saying.

Meanwhile, the golden snub-nosed monkeys gathered in small groups and cautiously observed the strange human and giant panda.

For some reason, a faint sense of goodwill seemed to emerge among them.

Su Lin’s words gradually calmed Mother Bear.

Her anger slowly disappeared.

“Alright.

You have a new home now.”

“The old den belongs to the monkeys, so let’s not disturb them anymore.”

“Eek…

leave the den.”

The panda finally turned around.

The viewers had been convinced that she was about to charge at the monkeys, but after hearing Su Lin’s words, she obediently followed him.

Everyone was stunned.

“That’s incredible!”

“He literally stopped a conflict between two protected species with just a few words!”

“SuSu’s animal communication ability is ridiculous!”

Just as Su Lin and Mother Bear were about to leave, a strange cry suddenly came from behind them.

“Squeak…

pain…

blood…”

Su Lin stopped.

He turned around in surprise.

The larger Sichuan golden snub-nosed monkey that had tried to break up the fight earlier was standing there.

It was holding onto another monkey’s arm and head.

Its beautiful golden fur was stained with blood.

Su Lin’s expression changed.

The Sichuan golden snub-nosed monkey was injured.

And judging from the amount of blood, the wound didn’t look minor.

“What’s wrong?”

Su Lin immediately walked back toward them.

Mother Bear also turned around and looked curiously in their direction.

The injured monkey stared at Su Lin.

Its eyes seemed to contain a faint plea for help.

“Squeak…

help…”

Su Lin’s heart tightened.

It was asking him for help.
