Zhou Xingyao was stunned for a moment, looking at Wen Jiaojiao in disbelief.
“Jiaojiao, is what she said true? When you got lost in the forest that day, Shen Miao was right below the cliff?”
“No! No! I didn’t know!”
Before Wen Jiaojiao could even finish her sentence, there was a sharp smack and she was sent flying by the force of the slap.
After delivering that slap, Shen Miao felt completely satisfied in both body and soul, and contentedly walked away with her black-and-white little flower.
Sure enough, when dealing with these lying Two-legged Beasts, the best approach was to just slap them flying with one direct hit!
“Jiaojiao, Jiaojiao, are you okay?”
At this point, Zhou Xingyao couldn’t spare another moment to talk with Shen Miao and hurried over to check on Wen Jiaojiao, watching helplessly as Shen Miao walked away.
Wen Jiaojiao’s face was swollen from the slap, and she had to go to the hospital for treatment. By the time Father Wen and Mother Wen arrived, Wen Jiaojiao was crying like a tearful mess:
“Mom, Dad, it’s all my fault. I shouldn’t have stayed in this family. I’m the one who took over her place. It’s only right that my sister is unhappy with me.”
“Stop it. This Shen Miao! She’s going too far!”
Father Wen was furious upon hearing this and let out a cold snort:
“Forget about her. Doesn’t she want to run away from home? Fine, then I’ll cut off her cards and see how many days she can last out there!”
This time, he had to teach Shen Miao a proper lesson and make her understand what really mattered!
This little girl had too much pride. She only lived so recklessly because she relied on the Wen family. Well then, he’d cut off all her living expenses!
A young girl like her definitely wouldn’t last more than a few days before coming back to apologize.
She needed to suffer a bit to learn her lesson!
…
For Shen Miao, only the days in the Wen household counted as suffering. Now, as a free-spirited panda with several fluffy companions by her side, she couldn’t be happier!
The police station even specially sent her a banner of honor and took a commemorative photo with her. They also posted a public notice online, specifically thanking her for her help to the Two-legged Beasts.
Even though the police tried their best to make the notice sound reasonable, it still sparked quite a discussion.
[Our bureau has cracked a major illegal poaching case. A concerned citizen, while livestreaming in a panda mascot costume, witnessed the process of illegal poaching.
With the help of a passing Siberian tiger, the concerned citizen successfully apprehended six criminals. The related case is currently under further investigation…]
After reading it, Shen Miao felt the notice was written fairly objectively. But all the netizens who saw it were absolutely losing their minds.
What on earth?
It was officially posted by the police’s blue-verified account? How was that possible?
Wasn’t this just a script and AI special effects made up by the streamer?
The official account had come out to post a notice, which meant this was actually real. What they saw that night wasn’t special effects or a script?
[??? Oh my god, I’m kneeling before the boss. Last night I was laughing and joking in the livestream room, and now I wake up today and they tell me it’s real?]
[So the streamer, a little girl in a panda suit riding a Siberian tiger, is real?
The Siberian tiger digging ginseng is also real? The streamer single-handedly taking down six armed criminals is also real?!]
[So from beginning to end, there was never any AI or beauty filter effects! The person was really wearing a panda suit? And the tiger was real?!]
[Oh my god, oh my god, please accept my knees, streamer! This is way too impressive!
Why didn’t they invite this streamer to star in Kung Fu Panda back then? Think of all the special effects money they would’ve saved!]
[This just proves that nothing beats a fierce woman—even tigers have to fear them!
This is too ridiculous!]
[Oh my god, oh my god, can someone point me in the right direction? This streamer is too amazing, I need to go check them out!]
In just one afternoon, when Shen Miao opened her livestream again, her follower count had directly broken past one hundred thousand.
The live viewer count and bullet comments were all buzzing with activity. Before she even said a word, people were already sending her tips in the form of steamed buns.
So the panda smiled until her eyes narrowed into slits, happily promoting her wild ginseng.
“I told you all, we pandas never lie! This was dug up by my big cat and little cat, absolutely authentic!”
[We believe you, we believe you, alright! I’m buying wild ginseng dug up by a wild Siberian tiger right now. Buy, buy, buy, I must buy!]
[Whoa, is this ginseng really authentic? What if it’s not?]
Shen Miao tilted her panda head and blinked, speaking seriously:
“Then I’ll have Xiaoguai come explain it to you in person?”
[Hahaha, that’s quite a customer service policy!]
[That customer service is not to be messed with. Are you going to eat me if I don’t leave a good review?
Come on! Let me take another look at our customer service Xiaoguai! Last time I thought it was AI and didn’t get a good look.]
“Sorry, no can do. I’m currently in a rented courtyard, and if Xiaoguai stayed here, it would scare the neighbors. It’s up in the mountains.”
Everyone then noticed that the livestream background had changed. This little courtyard, aside from having a few fluffy kittens, looked quite shabby and run-down.
[The streamer really has it tough, doesn’t she?! Raising so many strays all by herself?]
“That’s right! Especially Xiaoguai—it eats so much, it’s practically a bottomless pit!”
Ignoring the fact that she herself had eaten something even more expensive, Shen Miao placed all the blame on Xiaoguai:
“He’s such a glutton! He secretly ate all my midnight snacks! I nearly starved to death last night, this bear!”
The black-and-white ball of fluff’s angry glare melted the hearts of all the viewers, who showered her with tips and orders.
[Here, here! I’ll give you all my money, okay?!]
[I really want to pet the streamer, wahhh. The streamer’s house is so shabby, so pitiful! Tipping now, hurry up and take your fluffy self to live in a big house!]
[In a place like this at the edge of a mountain village, a girl streamer like you should still be careful. Better to keep a native wolfdog or a Tibetan mastiff or something.]
[What wolfdog can compare to our streamer who beats tigers? LOL! Worrying for nothing!]
However, Shen Miao actually thought the netizens were right. After all, she was a very busy panda—she had to go out foraging during the day. Having a dog at home to guard the house and protect her hoard of bamboo shoots would be much safer.
“Thanks for the suggestions, everyone! I’m heading up the mountain right now to pick up a dog!”
Soon, still in her panda form, Shen Miao went out through the backyard and headed straight up the mountain.
It was already dark. At this hour, the undeveloped forest seemed terrifying and eerie to humans, and many viewers were startled.
[??? What kind of dog can you pick up in the mountains? If you want a dog, streamer, just go browse the market!]
[Exactly! Wolfdogs wouldn’t run into the mountains either. And it’d get eaten by your Xiaoguai anyway!
No matter how tough you are, streamer, don’t go up the mountain at night—it’s really dangerous!]
[Aaaaah, so exciting, so exciting! Tipping! Streamer, let me see more clearly!]
“It’s not dangerous. None of them can beat me. Really, we pandas never lie!”
After all, pandas were the ancient divine beasts, the king of all beasts. Plus, she had her demonic power—ordinary animals wouldn’t dare come near her.
Shen Miao turned on a flashlight and brightened her phone screen to satisfy her viewers’ insatiable curiosity.
Awooo—awooo—
Suddenly, several long howls came from not far away, shocking everyone. Shen Miao, on the other hand, ran happily toward the sound:
“Found it, found it! It’s this!”
[??? Found what? Streamer, that sounds like a wolf, doesn’t it?]
[Wolves usually live in packs! Streamer, don’t court death, get down the mountain now—I can’t bear to watch!]
[Where’s Xiaoguai? Where’s the bodyguard Xiaoguai? Come save our streamer!]
[Heh, streamers these days don’t care about their lives for views. Serves them right! If she dies, she’ll learn her lesson!]
[Against a pack of wolves, what good is a single Siberian tiger?! Streamer, you better watch out in your next life. Wait—what the heck am I seeing?]
At that moment, the viewers and Shen Miao saw a fluffy Northeast wolf in front of them, howling in pain. It turned out one of its paws was caught in a hunting trap, and it was crying out for help.
Shen Miao was overjoyed:
“See? I told you you can pick up dogs on the mountain! This—I’ve got my guard dog now! Fierce and sturdy, more than enough to watch the house. And it didn’t cost a cent—free!”
After all, even the cheapest wolfdog outside would cost a hundred or two. Picking one up on the mountain for free? No money needed!
Shen Miao said smugly.
The viewers: ??
