Chapter 15

The golden-haired tiger noticed that the rain had lightened a bit and, concerned that the little cat might be hungry, decided it was time to start eating.

After all, the wild boar had been dead for a while now, and if they didn’t eat it soon, it wouldn’t be fresh anymore.

The golden-haired tiger sat up from the ground, but suddenly felt something was wrong with his leg.

He paused in his movement, lowered his head, and glanced at his injured front right leg. After a moment of hesitation, he cautiously tested it by stepping on the ground.

Hmm?

The golden-haired tiger stared at his leg in surprise. After thinking for a moment, he suddenly lifted his head and looked over at the little white cat.

At this moment, the little white cat was crouched in front of the snow eagle, staring at him intently.

The snow eagle felt uncomfortable under her gaze. He flapped his wings, moved his claws, and squirmed a bit. It was the first time a creature he was fond of had looked at him like this, and the whole eagle felt overwhelmed—shy, embarrassed, and with his heart racing.

The golden-haired tiger: “……”

Right, ever since he had taken this little cat from the brown bear’s grasp, and she hadn’t reacted at all, he should have known—this was a cat who could never be owned by anyone.

It seemed she wasn’t here to participate in the dating show but rather to join a “family of furry.”

The golden-haired tiger ripped off the bloody bandage from his paw and immediately saw that the wound, which had been there earlier, was already healed.

He distinctly remembered that when he went after the wild boar, the wound had opened and bled.

But now, not only was the surface wound gone, even the internal injuries in his leg had completely healed. He felt no pain at all, and after moving his leg a few times, everything seemed perfectly fine.

The only thing left was the shaved fur, showing where the injury had been. Other than that, there was no trace left.

The golden-haired tiger tore off the bandage, and not only he but also the live stream audience noticed that his leg injury had completely healed.

However, no one speculated that it had anything to do with the little white cat, instead, they were all amazed by the golden-haired tiger’s incredible healing ability.

【Wow, look at what I found! His wound has completely healed!】

【Is this the power of mental strength? Could this level of healing mean he’s already at the S-rank?】

【Even S-rank mental strength doesn’t have this kind of healing ability, considering his wound was still bleeding just an hour ago.】

【Emmmm, could it be that the cat just stepped on it and healed his wound? Hahaha.】

—

The golden-haired tiger was also pondering this. It was known that mental strength could only be used for attack or calming, not healing, otherwise, doctors would be unnecessary in this world.

But now, after the little cat stepped on his wound a few times, it had healed. Why was that?

The golden-haired tiger subtly glanced at the little white cat. This was a secret between him and her—he didn’t want to let anyone know this.

If the little cat’s mental strength had healing capabilities, she must have carefully hidden it for a long time. Now, seeing his leg injury, she couldn’t help but help him heal it, even at the risk of exposing it in front of him. She didn’t even know his true identity.

So, from all this, one conclusion could be drawn: the little cat was different from him compared to the other fluffballs.

The little cat was special to him.

The little cat liked him!

The golden-haired tiger slowly stood up. Now that his leg was healed, he could walk without the slow, limping pace he had before. He had been walking that way because he couldn’t put weight on his injured leg, which had made the little cat laugh. He would probably remember that for the rest of his life.

After getting up, the golden-haired tiger walked over to the wild boar at the door. The rain seemed to have lightened a little, so he decided it was time to eat.

At this moment, the brown bear he thought, who would probably wander around the jungle for a whole day and night without finding the place, suddenly appeared in his line of sight.

The golden-haired tiger: “……”

Damn, these guys really don’t take him seriously, huh? Can’t there be some basic respect between beasts?

This is his territory! As males, shouldn’t they be more mindful of avoiding conflict?

The golden-haired tiger scowled, his sharp eyes fixed on the brown bear running toward him from the distance.

The brown bear’s running was so noisy that the snow eagle turned his head and stared intently in the direction the bear was coming from.

When he had left the villa earlier, he thought that with the brown bear’s intelligence, it would probably take him the whole day just to search for the little cat inside the villa. Even if he knew to come into the jungle to search, he probably wouldn’t find this cave, especially with the heavy rain. In the end, the program crew would have to pick him up.

But, the snow eagle’s judgment was off—he had underestimated the brown bear. The bear actually managed to find the cave.

‘Well’, the snow eagle thought, glancing at the golden-haired tiger on the other side. Maybe this isn’t such a bad thing. Once the brown bear shows up, the golden-haired tiger will be distracted and won’t be keeping an eye on him. He will probably focus on the bear instead.

The problem is, this cave is really going to get crowded.

The snow eagle turned to find the little cat. Meanwhile, the little white cat, her fur slightly damp, was already squatting at the cave entrance. She had noticed the brown bear running over and seemed a little worried. She crouched there and began waving at the bear.

Her posture and the way she was meowing were exactly the same as when she had called the snow eagle in earlier to take shelter from the rain.

The snow eagle: “……”

Live stream room:

【The little cat is truly a master of playing both sides!】

【Hahaha, being a sea king is a basic skill for her.】

【The golden-haired tiger’s inner world must be collapsing right now, hahaha.】

【The little cat really knows how to attract attention. My advice to the three male guests is to stay away from her and leave her to me. I’m willing to bear the pain!】

【I suggest this episode shouldn’t have any CPs at all. After all, the little cat belongs to everyone!】

—

The viewers in the live chat were enjoying the drama and discussing it enthusiastically. Meanwhile, the atmosphere among the guests was starting to tense up.

Of course, the little cat didn’t sense the strange tension at all. After seeing the brown bear running in the rain, she became very worried about him. She kept meowing and waving her paws, afraid that the bear might not see the cave and miss them.

From far away, the brown bear had already spotted the little cat. The cave was located on higher ground, on a slope, and the brown bear tilted his head to look up and began to climb towards it.

The golden-haired tiger saw that not only had the little white cat called the snow eagle in, but now she had also called the brown bear. He was a little frustrated. With a stern face, he walked over to the little white cat and immediately picked her up in his mouth.

The little cat was momentarily stunned. After she realized what had happened, she didn’t resist, allowing the golden-haired tiger to carry her to the other side of the cave. There, on the stone wall of the cave, were some protruding rocks. The golden-haired tiger placed her on one of these small rocks to squat, then gave her a stern look.

The little cat felt that the golden-haired tiger seemed upset, but she couldn’t figure out why.

Qing Liu didn’t understand—her leg injury was healed, they had food, and they were in the cave, so why was he still upset?

But the golden-haired tiger’s personality was indeed very strange. She remembered that when they first met on the first day, his demeanor had been cold and antisocial. Now, thinking about it, among the three beasts, the brown bear was the most likable!

The little cat tilted her head and looked at the large tiger head in front of her. She meowed, but the golden-haired tiger still glared at her with an unhappy expression.

The little cat was a bit speechless. Suddenly, she reached out with her paw and grabbed the golden-haired tiger’s whiskers, tugging hard on them.

The golden-haired tiger: “……”

He didn’t expect the little cat not only to be unaware of her mistake but to dare continue provoking him!

Although the little white cat didn’t have much strength, her pulling on his whiskers was really something that deserved a punishment.

The golden-haired tiger glared at the little cat, the first time he realized the inconvenience of being around such a small fluffy creature—when they argued or when he was angry, he didn’t know how to punish her.

She was just so cute and delicate, how could he bear to punish her? He couldn’t even bring himself to hurt her with one finger!

The golden-haired tiger flicked his tail in frustration and, with his barbed tongue, viciously licked the little cat’s face.

“Meow?”

The little white cat was stunned by the lick. She couldn’t maintain her balance and ended up tumbling over, with her face and head all wet from the saliva. Her fur was covered in the golden-haired tiger’s drool.

Qing Liu: “……”

She stared at the golden-haired tiger in disbelief. This was the problem with fluffy creatures—always licking others without a second thought. It was really quite unhygienic!

“Enough, you’re not a dog, stop licking me.”

Qing Liu, a bit disgusted, extended her paw and wiped her face and head several times, her expression full of disdain.

Live stream room:

【The little cat is so proud! She actually rejected the golden-haired tiger, I love it!】

【This is the second time the golden-haired tiger has licked our little cat. He really must like cats!】

【He’s the only one who licked the little cat’s fur, so according to the rules, they are about to become the first CP pair of the show!】

【But… Bear Chester has already arrived…】

—

At this moment, the brown bear, who had already rushed to the entrance, happened to see the golden-haired tiger licking the little cat, and the little cat had a reluctant expression on her face.

The brown bear stood at the entrance, completely ignoring the snow eagle who was also standing there. Because the wild boar that had been blocking the rain at the entrance of the cave was in the way, the impatient bear grabbed it with his front paws and hurled it backward with force. “Boom!” The wild boar was sent flying ten meters away.

With the wild boar gone, the golden-haired tiger was immediately hit by the rain and wind, soaking half of his fur.

Then, the brown bear let out an angry roar and charged toward the golden-haired tiger with his round body.

The golden-haired tiger: “……”

The brown bear had been soaked in the rain for nearly an hour, and his fur was drenched, making him heavier. The golden-haired tiger watched as the bear’s heavy footsteps pounded the ground, and a hint of disdain flashed in his eyes.

He immediately grabbed the little cat and dodged the charging brown bear, moving around the side of the cave and circling behind the brown bear. Though the brown bear was round, he was very agile. Seeing the golden-haired tiger bypass him, he immediately turned around and charged again.

The golden-haired tiger, holding the little white cat in his mouth, suddenly stopped and stood still, locking eyes with the charging brown bear.

The brown bear sensed something was wrong. The golden-haired tiger didn’t seem like the type to sit and wait for defeat.

But at that moment, he couldn’t think of much else. Seeing the golden-haired tiger standing still, the brown bear quickened his pace, determined to settle things with the golden-haired tiger once and for all!

As the brown bear neared, three steps, two steps, one step—just about to pounce on the golden-haired tiger—suddenly, the golden-haired tiger moved! He glanced at the brown bear, who was nearly upon him, a hint of mockery in his golden pupils, and then suddenly rolled to the side.

The brown bear: “???”

The brown bear, unable to stop in time, watched helplessly as he charged straight toward the snow eagle behind the golden-haired tiger.

The snow eagle had been standing in the corner, watching the showdown.

He didn’t expect such a trick from this damn bear.

Just moments ago, the golden-haired tiger’s large body had blocked the brown bear’s view, so the snow eagle had no idea what was going on with the brown bear.

He had assumed that, considering the little cat, the brown bear would hold back and not truly fight.

But in just a few seconds, the golden-haired tiger suddenly moved, and the large, ball-shaped brown bear collided with the snow eagle with a loud “thud,” knocking him down to the ground.

The snow eagle: “……”

Damn!

Because of his high mental power, the snow eagle’s beast form was also quite large, with wings spanning three to four meters wide. He was about two to three times the size of an ordinary snow eagle. However, compared to the bulky brown bear, he still appeared small.

The little cat heard the loud crash behind her and immediately turned around, only to be stunned to see the brown bear pinning the snow eagle down to the ground, with a heap of sand and dirt scattered around. The stone wall nearby had even been dented, with cracks running across the surface.
