CHAPTER 372: CHAPTER 372: MIAOMIAO: AWOOO

This evening in class, Tuanzi abandoned Gu Cheng and insisted on sitting next to Wen Jing.

Yang Zhi was pushed to the side, ending up sitting with Gu Cheng.

"Miaomiao really likes your sister," Gu Cheng initiated the conversation, which was quite rare.

Yang Zhi chuckled, "Jing also likes your sister, otherwise she wouldn’t find me... ahem, it’s good for the kids to have a good relationship. Even after the show is over, they can keep in touch. It’s rare to see Jing playing so well with peers."

His cousin couldn’t get along with kids her age due to her personality. When asked for a reason, she bluntly said they were too childish. In kindergarten, she even fought with boys from older classes, beating them up until they cried.

Gu Cheng nodded and chatted a bit more with this straightforward Martial Arts Association member.

After class, everyone returned to their rooms.

Tuanzi said goodbye to Gu Cheng happily and opened her door. As she was about to close it, she noticed her older brother coming in.

"Big Brother?"

Gu Cheng came in, stood by the door, and crossed his arms, "Miaomiao, give me a smile."

Tuanzi instinctively grinned, exposing two slightly stained rows of teeth.

[Ancient Martial System: Pfft]

[Miaomiao: Why are you laughing?]

[Ancient Martial System: Ahem, did you forget to rinse your mouth after eating chocolate?]

She had chocolate all over her teeth!

Tuanzi realized the issue at a slower pace and quickly shut her mouth tight, pressing her lips together.

Still uneasy, she used her chubby hands to cover her mouth, even covering her nose, leaving only her big eyes visible, darting around.

Gu Cheng sighed.

Tuanzi continued to look at him pathetically.

Oh no, it’s all because the chocolate was too delicious; she ate so joyfully that she forgot to rinse her mouth with water! Chocolate, oh chocolate, why are you so tasty? Tuanzi lamented in her heart.

Gu Cheng didn’t say anything critical.

Yang Zhi was too simple-minded, without a hint of scheming. Even if nothing was said, a few words were enough for him to reveal the truth.

Wen Jing had borrowed money from her cousin to buy chocolate for his sister.

"I won’t give any more sweets this week, is that alright?"

Tuanzi’s eyebrows immediately formed a shape of grievance.

"Honesty."

Tuanzi hesitated, thought about it, and did the math.

The chocolate from Sister Jing contained nine pieces, while her older brother would only give her seven, so she was actually gaining.

She nodded her little head, released her hands, and cautiously asked, "Big Brother, aren’t you going to criticize Miaomiao?"

Gu Cheng had no intention of reprimanding her, just reminded her before leaving, "Remember to brush your teeth."

"Alright!" Tuanzi happily responded.

While brushing her teeth, she multitasked and communicated with the system in her mind.

[Miaomiao: Big Brother is really nice, he didn’t criticize me at all]

[Ancient Martial System: ...]

[Miaomiao: Little Gu, why aren’t you saying anything]

[Ancient Martial System: I’m marveling at how good your brother is at parenting, is this a natural talent]

[Miaomiao: ?]

On the second day of the closing period, the guests cheerfully went up the mountain, and soon, they heard the loud howls of wolves.

The ranger hurriedly said, "The wolf pack is hunting. Let’s take a detour, don’t disturb them."

The mountain they patrolled at the end of the period was rich in species, with several wolf packs among them. Each wolf pack ruled their part of the mountain, sometimes clashing for food and territory. Humans would not participate in this natural competition.

The guests and staff were very cooperative.

The ranger was the one who had worked here for decades and knew the mountain better. Ignoring local advice could result in troubles with no one to console you.

Tuanzi trotted along with the group, but her little head kept looking toward the wolves, mimicking their ’awoo’ sounds.

Gu Cheng grabbed her by the back of her shirt collar, making Tuanzi behave like a kitten held by the scruff of its neck, obediently following along without ’awoo-ing’.

[Hahaha, Miaomiao’s reaction is like a kitten]

[Then Gu Cheng is the big cat?]

[Gu Cheng should be a majestic tabby, while Gu Che is the cool black cat]

[I think Miaomiao is more like a puppy]

[Is no one concerned about the wolf pack? It’s my first close-up view of them, I really want to see]

[Wolf pack: I want to see who wants to bring dinner]

Once they moved away from the wolf pack, nothing special happened. Everyone conducted the mountain patrol as usual. Around midday, they heard the ’awoo’ sounds again, each cry more indignant. Even the guests, not well-versed in this, could tell the wolves were angry.

Duan Ling was a bit scared yet very curious, "Could it be that they’re fighting for territory and got angry?"

Moreover, they had moved far away from their previous location on the mountain, the wolf pack wouldn’t be following them, right?

"It’s a different wolf pack."

The ranger seemed serious, instinctively patting the alarm device, "This howl indicates defense against external invasion, I need to go check."

In this mountain, there are animals more fierce than wolves, like black bears, but wolves have an advantage, they act in groups. Even if they can’t win, they wouldn’t lose too badly.

Previously, wolf pack fights have emitted similar sounds, but not with such anger.

"Seems more like some animal or person is provoking the wolf pack."

Part of the ranger’s responsibility is to always observe the state of the wild animals. Any anomaly spotted from afar must be reported. If necessary, maintaining a safe distance while following is also required.

Tuanzi’s eyes lit up.

"Uncle, I can take you there!"

She flapped her little arms, "I can fly you over!"

Now her Inner Strength had become more refined, and she paid great attention to the guest’s experience. Every flight was high enough not to let the guest’s legs hit the trees.

The ranger knew her martial prowess but felt it inappropriate to be flown by a five-year-old child.

"I’ll take you over."

Duan Xiayou drank some water and proactively stepped forward.

He put on the sports camera handed to him by the staff, sensing movement beside him, he lowered his head to see his little junior sister holding a camera, smiling harmlessly.

"Power in numbers."

Tuanzi didn’t dare look at Gu Cheng and awkwardly fastened the camera on her head.

After getting ready, she cautiously glanced at Gu Cheng, seeing him give her an encouraging gesture, she jumped up happily.

"Big Brother, Miaomiao really loves you!"

Gu Cheng: "Ahem." These kind of words are fine in private, no need to say it in front of the camera. Now, the whole nation knows his sister likes him a lot.

With the help of two martial arts experts, the ranger reached near the wolf pack in three minutes.

Duan Xiayou landed the ranger on a relatively sturdy tree, while Tuanzi landed on another tree.

Standing high gives a broader view, quickly the three found that the wolf pack was actually attacking three adult men.

Each of the men held makeshift shotguns, likely with silencers, which explained the lack of sound.

By their legs lay a big wolf in a pool of blood. Besides that, there was a large cage containing several wolf pups.

One man was holding a wolf pup, apparently using it to threaten the wolf pack, making them retreat.
