Chapter 14

As the golden-haired tiger was about to doze off, he suddenly twitched his ears. Hmm? In the sound of the wind and rain, it seemed like he heard the flapping of wings?

Realizing something was off, he suddenly lifted his head and quickly wrapped his tail around the little cat, pulling her into his embrace.

The little cat was still dazed, but the golden-haired tiger didn’t have time to care. He peered out, his eyes instantly sharpening.

Oh, look at what he saw—the snow eagle had actually shamelessly come to his cave to take shelter from the rain.

The snow eagle was quite a character, wasn’t he? Was he really throwing his dignity aside?

The golden-haired tiger was speechless inside. Didn’t the snow eagle understand the rules of the reality show? He had already teamed up with the little white cat, so what was the snow eagle doing here, trying to join in? The wind and rain were heavy, but for the snow eagle, it wasn’t a problem at all. After all, the golden-haired tiger had already sensed that the snow eagle’s mental power wasn’t low.

As the golden-haired tiger was cursing inwardly, he completely forgot how, the day before, when the brown bear and the little cat had teamed up, he had “snatched” the little cat away from them.

Now, the snow eagle was standing at the entrance of the cave, right next to the huge wild boar, with the golden-haired tiger lying inside the cave and the little white cat nestled in his embrace.

The warm light from the two live streaming spheres made the scene look a bit ambiguous.

The snow eagle stood at the entrance, even mistakenly thinking he had entered some kind of luxurious couple’s room…

His live streaming sphere had been out in the rain, but now it was finally coming inside the cave. Great, with three live spheres in a row, it really looked like the scene of a third wheel catching a couple in the act.

【Ah, this is awkward, but I can’t stop laughing.】

【This is golden-haired tiger’s karma! Yesterday, he stole the bear’s partner, and now today the snow eagle dares to steal his! Serves him right for starting it.】

【Hahaha, the snow eagle looks a little embarrassed right now. He was invited in by the little cat, but now that he’s here, she’s curled up in another man’s arms! That’s too much!】

【Though we know the little cat meant well, this situation is just too funny, hahahahaha.】

【Breaking News! The bear is on its way through the rain!】

【Wow, what a battlefield! This is intense!】

In this world full of fierce beasts, the little cat, being so rare and fluffy, is an absolute standout. Even the panda and the fox, who were originally competitors, couldn’t help but be fond of her.

So, the three male guests’ deep affection for the little cat seemed perfectly natural to the viewers, who completely understood. After all, who wouldn’t love a cute and fluffy little thing?

Who wouldn’t want to hold that little fluff ball in their hands and cuddle her close?

This pairing isn’t going anywhere.

Now, all the viewers can do is pin their hopes on the little cat.

【This episode’s highlight depends entirely on the little cat.】

【I hope the little cat has better luck and doesn’t pick a guest with a bad reputation! I’ll cry if she does!】

The real “blacklisted” guest, the little white cat, was currently struggling to crawl out of the golden tiger’s embrace. The golden tiger watched helplessly as she ran to the cave entrance, meowing at the drenched snow eagle and even beckoning him to come inside.

The golden tiger: “???”

With such a warm welcome from the little cat, the snow eagle, who had originally hesitated, gave the golden tiger a quick glance and completely ignored him.

However, the snow eagle, being more reserved, felt a little shy in front of the enthusiastic little cat. If it weren’t for the beast form he was in, he might have even blushed. Still, he managed to stay composed, suppressing his excitement and not showing his feelings outwardly.

Just as the golden tiger couldn’t stand the snow eagle, the snow eagle also had no tolerance for the golden tiger. After all, competition between males for a mate is intense, and both of them could clearly sense each other’s thoughts. They both knew what the other was thinking.

The snow eagle stood near the entrance, barely half a meter away from the golden tiger. There wasn’t much space in the cave, and it was low, so he couldn’t fly up to the ceiling.

The golden tiger, irritated, sat up and bared his teeth at the snow eagle in warning.

The little white cat, who had finally managed to get the snow eagle inside, couldn’t let the golden tiger drive him away. After all, with the storm raging outside, they were all pets. What did it matter if they all hid together for a while?

She ran over to the golden tiger and scratched him with her paw, meowing loudly.

“Don’t be mean!”

She scolded him: “You promised just now, no backing out! And stop being rude to him, it makes you look petty.”

The little cat meowed fiercely for a while. But aside from the viewers in the live stream, the golden tiger didn’t understand a word.

It didn’t matter, though. Even though he didn’t understand, the golden tiger roughly grasped her meaning.

It was simple—don’t let the snow eagle leave.

The golden tiger didn’t want to upset the little cat, so he didn’t look at the snow eagle again.

He thought to himself, everyone participating in this variety show is a public figure. From the snow eagle’s behavior, it was clear that his status must be quite high. Yet someone like him would do such shameless things. When his identity was finally revealed, the golden tiger was definitely going to mock him for it.

The petty golden tiger silently made a note of the grudge.

He had already been irritated by the snow eagle’s presence, but just then, his ears and nose twitched, and he suddenly caught a faint but extremely unpleasant scent in the wind and rain.

Even the sharpest noses can fail in the storm, and his heightened senses were tied to the strength of his spiritual energy. But if he could still catch the scent, that meant the person was already very close to the cave.

The viewers in the live stream were absolutely buzzing with excitement.

【He’s coming, he’s coming! He’s heading straight toward them with a ^[2]“Shura” (修羅) refers to a chaotic, intense battlefield or a situation filled with fierce conflict and rivalry, often used metaphorically to describe dramatic or hostile environments.Shura battlefield vibe!】

【Ahhh, Bear Chester has been wandering around nearby for ages, can he find the little cat’s location? I’m so nervous!】

【I really want to send him the coordinates! The rain’s been pouring on him for so long, is he okay?】

【Where’s the production team? Why isn’t anyone guiding Bear Chester? I’m getting so frustrated!】

The brown bear, whose real name was Chester, had only graduated a couple of years ago and was a rookie actor. However, his outstanding acting skills, good background, handsome appearance, and pure, cute personality had earned him millions of fans.

His fans had already figured out his identity based on his schedule and behavior.

Though his identity wasn’t directly revealed in the live stream, it was clear to everyone that seeing him standing out in the rain was painful to watch.

So viewers flooded the program’s social media, tagging the production team and urging them to either send a drone to pick up the brown bear or just give the brown bear the little cat’s location.

Based on the viewers’ observations, although the cave was small, it seemed like it wouldn’t be a big problem to fit in a bear. After all, the little cat was tiny, and if they just moved the wild boar a little, there would be enough space for the brown bear to sleep.

The viewers were getting excited, and the live stream’s popularity surged.

Although “Destined Match” had aired over a hundred episodes, it was the first time they had seen three male guests chasing after a single female guest.

But, upon reflection, it made sense. The show had never invited cute pet-like beastmen before.

Someone like the little cat had never appeared on “Destined Match” live before.

The production team did not expect that the controversial guest they had invited to spice things up would become so popular.

The production team asked the director, Zhang Song: “Director, the brown bear has been searching in the jungle for over half an hour. Should we send a drone to pick him up?”

Although the weather wasn’t ideal for drones, considering the brown bear seemed to have a stomach problem, the team was concerned.

They had left the villa around 7 AM and entered the jungle, and now it was already 3 PM. The brown bear hadn’t eaten anything and had been out in the wind and rain all day. What if he got sick?

In a live variety show, if someone got sick and it affected the filming, it would not only impact the production team but also lead the audience to make wild guesses. Some might even invent stories about the crew deliberately mistreating the guests for the sake of drama.

Zhang Song looked at the live stream and asked, “Has the brown bear sent us any messages?”

The staff shook their heads, looking worried. “No.”

Zhang Song frowned. “Then he doesn’t want to leave the jungle. He wants to go to the little cat.”

The staff members were silent.

Of course, he knew. Who on the internet didn’t know by now that the brown bear had been wandering through the wind and rain in the jungle for over half an hour, all in search of the little cat?

Zhang Song paused for a few seconds, then said, “Turn on the real-time location of the guests.”

All six guests wore the smart wristbands distributed by the production team. Once the production team shared the guests’ locations in real time, they would be able to see each other’s exact positions.

This wasn’t against the rules of the program. After all, it was a dating show, and if the couples got separated, they would definitely need to share their locations to find each other.

Sure enough, after the production team activated location sharing, the brown bear, near the cave, heard a notification sound. He opened the smart wristband on his arm and saw—oh no—three fuzzy dots were overlapping!

They were so closely packed. Could it be that these three were all huddled together, sleeping in the same place?

Just as the brown bear thought this, he suddenly realized something was wrong!

The colors of the three dots were different—one red and two blue. Does that mean there were two men and one woman?

Thinking about the golden-haired tiger and the snow eagle still in the jungle, and the little cat…

The brown bear: “……”

No way, no way.

It wasn’t what he thought, right?

The brown bear’s heart skipped a beat. Normally, he never had to run on all four legs, but now, he couldn’t care less. His four legs immediately began to slap the ground as he sprinted towards the cave, splashing through the water, full of killing intent.
