Chapter 50: Chapter 50: Mischievous Tiger Martens

This time, no animals were chasing behind, yet Ling Yu’s running posture was still smooth like the wind.

“12.92 seconds!!!”

After Ling Yu crossed the finish line, Xu Ying excitedly held the stopwatch in front of Ling Yu.

Seeing the number starting with 12 on the stopwatch, Ling Yu’s eyes turned red instantly.

The world record he set at 21 was 12.88 seconds, and he was getting closer and closer to his former self.

His real ability has always been online, and he can do even better!

Ling Yu excitedly clenched his fists.

Xu Ying glanced at the date on her phone and encouraged, “There’s still one month left, you still have time to polish every detail and develop your physical potential.”

“Go for it, duck!”

Ling Yu composed himself and thanked Xu Ying and the cheetah coaches.

He excitedly shook the paw of the Cheetah Leader: “Thank you so much for helping me regain my confidence in running.”

The cheetah swayed its tail, pretending to be modest.

[You humans are bipedal, you can also find more fast-running bipedal animals to help with testing.]

Bipedal animals?

Xu Ying had an image in mind: “Ostrich! Ostriches run very fast too!”

Seeing Xu Ying more excited than himself, Ling Yu shrugged helplessly, realizing that he might be “bullied” by new animals again in the future.

After finishing the timed training, the cheetahs enthusiastically accompanied him for leg strength training. Seeing that there wasn’t much she could help with, Xu Ying took the Cheetah Leader to change its medicine.

After changing the medicine, Xu Ying received a reward from the system: [The host helped the cheetah treat oral ulcers, rewarding a Beast Language Mastery~ Total points have reached 2 points.]

To express his thanks, Ling Yu invited Xu Ying to the RV for dinner; he was cooking a big meal.

Now with the reward in hand, Xu Ying’s mood brightened even more.

After finishing the trivial tasks at the rescue station, Xu Ying clocked off at five and visited Ling Yu’s RV.

This was Xu Ying’s first time visiting an RV in person, and as soon as she got on, she felt like she had opened the door to a new world.

Though small, it was well-equipped. Besides the driver’s area at the front, the RV had a living area, kitchen area, bedroom area, and bathroom.

Ling Yu was busy in the kitchen area, wearing a plain apron with his sweatshirt sleeves casually rolled to his elbows. A few strands of black hair fell carelessly over his forehead, and the side of his face focused on slicing vegetables looked particularly delicate under the soft light.

The kitchen area was fully equipped, with an induction cooker, microwave, coffee machine… Space was utilized to the extreme. The fridge, though small, was enough to store food for four days.

There was also a sticky note on the fridge door, with beautifully written expiration dates of the ingredients.

Although Ling Yu got into Qing University through sports, he didn’t neglect his studies while training.

When he was the target of the whole internet’s criticism, keyboard warriors scrutinized his papers and degrees for flaws, only to find that his papers were well-written and selected as an excellent graduation thesis. With nothing left to criticize, they could only point out that he was admitted to the top university through sports lowered scores and was not a top student.

To this, Xu Ying remarked that the threshold for posting comments online was indeed too low.

Ling Yu’s prepared dinner for Xu Ying was spicy hot pot. As she sat by the foldable dining table waiting, the aroma of pepper and sesame suffusing from the dish brought tears to her eyes with its richness.

The large pot of spicy hot pot was brought to the table, and Ling Yu served Xu Ying a bowl of rice, each grain plump and steaming.

There was a skylight at the top of the RV, and the desert sunset shone through, casting a warm golden hue over the food on the foldable dining table.

It had been a long time since Xu Ying had tasted such homely food, and her eyes shone like little light bulbs.

Ling Yu poured her a glass of carrot juice: “Go ahead and eat, you look hungry.”

Xu Ying paused with her chopsticks in hand: “Aren’t you eating?”

Ling Yu shook his head: “The spicy hot pot is heavy on oil and salt; I have to abstain from it.”

As he spoke, he brought up his dinner, consisting of boiled chicken breast, boiled broccoli, and carrots…

The bland ingredients formed a stark contrast to the colorful, aromatic spicy hot pot in front of Xu Ying.

Ling Yu took a deep breath of the hot pot’s aroma and then started chewing on the boiled broccoli: “Just smelling the spicy hot pot smells with my meal is very satisfying too.”

Xu Ying was impressed: “With such self-discipline, you’ll succeed in anything you do!”

She eagerly dug in with her chopsticks.

The spicy hot pot Ling Yu made was so delicious that Xu Ying finished three bowls of rice, and even when she was full, she was reluctant to put down her chopsticks.

Watching Xu Ying, with her cheeks puffed like a hamster and still stuffing her mouth, Ling Yu couldn’t help but laugh: “Is it that good? You’re giving a lot of face.”

Xu Ying nodded like a little chicken pecking rice.

“Don’t overeat.” Ling Yu smiled as he poured Xu Ying a cup of warm water: “I’ll be here for more than half a month, so if you like it, I can cook it every day.”

Xu Ying shook her head: “Then I’ll definitely gain weight, and then I’ll have to eat boiled chicken breast like you every day.”

After the meal, Xu Ying helped clean up the dining table and wash the dishes. Just as she was about to get off the car to take a walk to digest, she saw a little ear fox tumbling and scrambling towards them.

The fastest Fox Boss ran over on all fours, hurriedly: [Sister, sister, Little Sand Cat got into a fight with a group of tiger martens!]

Tiger martens? Are they the ferocious little hunters that scared away the Little Desert Rats?

Walking alongside Fox Boss, Xu Ying asked: “Da Bao, what exactly happened?”

Fox Boss quickly explained the situation: [We were playing building sandcastles in the sand, and the tiger martens came over to make trouble.]

[They found out that there were no Little Desert Rats around to eat and thought Little Sand Cat had eaten all the rats and didn’t leave them any food, so they came to trouble Little Cat.]

Xu Ying immediately understood, the Little Desert Rats had fled, leaving the tiger martens without prey.

These top-notch hunters claim that they can act alone and kill two to three hundred mice in a single night.

Now, unusually appearing in groups, there wouldn’t be enough Little Desert Rats nearby the rescue station for them to eat?

Moreover, there hadn’t been any tiger martens near the rescue station before; they must have migrated from somewhere else.

Fox Boss was indignant: [Clearly, they’re almost wiping out the rodent animals living here, making them flee in panic. Those who could move have all moved away.]

[And they don’t finish eating the rodent animals they kill, making the desert area near the rescue station stink.]

While talking, they had already reached their destination.

In the open sandy area, the castle built by Little Sand Cat and the fox cubs had been toppled, and a group of tiger martens was hissing at Little Sand Cat and the fox cubs, sounding fierce like little tigers.

The tiger martens had striking brown-black and white stripes covering their faces, looking very much like little Indians with white paint on their faces.

Their ears were white, appearing like they wore white pom-pom headbands on top of their heads.

Though their bodies were long, their limbs were short, which now gave a kind of silly and cute feeling when they stood up to argue with Little Sand Cat, waving their short little claws.
