Forest Ranger, starting from Picking Up a Lynx Girl

Jiaojiao threw a fit, and every man present, one by one, didn't dare to intervene.

Including Little Sen, who just came out to use the restroom and saw Jiaojiao throwing the cub around, nearly burst into tears, unable to persuade the steadfast Jiaojiao who had set her heart on disciplining the child today.

Leopard Sister was a mother who knew when to stop.

Seeing that Baby Bear had been punished enough, she rushed over and pushed Jiaojiao aside with her head, then patted a tree stump with her paw.

"That's enough, you've taught the lesson, just don't beat the child too harshly."

Leopard Sister circled the dazed little one with her tail and licked its forehead in a motherly gesture.

"Good child, now go and apologize to mommy."

"What did I do wrong?"

Leopard Sister was at a loss.

How can you not know what you did wrong? Did you think the beating you got was for nothing?

Little Sen, quick on his feet, saw Jiaojiao stop and Leopard Sister seemed not to be angry anymore, he hurried over, scooped up Leo, and ran.

He dived into the kitchen and didn't forget to shut the door behind him.

"You, child, are so simple-minded, you don't resemble your mother at all."

It took a while, but Leopard Sister eventually spoke up and gave Jiaojiao a look.

Great Bai hurriedly picked up some bamboo shoots to coax Jiaojiao.

"The child is still young. I'll teach him. I'll make sure not to upset you."

Jiaojiao was so angry she was practically hyperventilating, her belly rippling in waves.

Damn it, these males are becoming more and more annoying!

She took the bamboo shoots Great Bai passed her and bit into them fiercely, "Next time the little cub misbehaves, you discipline him. Don't make me discipline you both."

Great Bai, large and in charge, suddenly assumed the demeanor of a submissive wife, which made Leopard Sister huff and puff.

"Mom, I want to eat that monkey."

Little Baby saw the teaching come to a halt and approached his mother, pointing upstairs to the second floor with definitive intent.

The little monkey, held in Chen Ying's arms and dressed in adorable clothes.

Leopard Sister slowly lowered her head to look at her own silly cub, her eyes gradually sharpening.

"What did you say you want to eat?"

"The monkey, that monkey." It even slurped its saliva, "That monkey looks so small and tender, it must be delicious."

Leopard Sister was silent for a moment, "That monkey won't taste good; it's been raised by humans, its flesh is tough. Come, I'll take you somewhere where you can eat anything you want."

Brother Leopard, standing by, held back his words, watching as his wife led their youngest son away.

"Dad, is this really okay?"

Big Baby came over and whispered, "My brother may be a bit silly, but monkeys are naturally part of our diet."

Brother Leopard calmly held his son's head and licked it a few times.

"Your mother isn't stopping him from eating monkeys. She's teaching him to understand what he can eat and what he shouldn't even think about targeting."

Eating a monkey in front of a two-legged beast that it raised, do you want a wife in the future or not?

Actually, Chen Ying was quite conflicted.

Little Baby's notion, in a normal sense, was not wrong.

The problem was the choice of target was inappropriate.

But for a leopard of its age and experience, making a wrong choice is quite normal; a few failures and it will learn to choose differently.

This was also why he never interfered with the food chain beyond the rescue station.

Even if he personally treated the animals, as long as they did not die because of human interference, it's survival of the fittest, and he had to accept it.

Leopard Sister was too smart, she understood this principle even better.

So it would take Little Baby to find the monkey troop, whether it succeeds or not depends on its own strength.

But as for the animals at the emergency rescue station, it better not even consider bothering them.

That place is a sanctuary for animals, a biological paradise tacitly agreed upon by everyone.

Haven't you seen how even Jinya, a lynx so unruly and spoiled, never harms the animals rescued at the station?

Except for rodents and rabbits!

Without these two creatures, mankind wouldn't necessarily face extinction.

After soothing Little Monkey, Chen Ying went downstairs and checked on Jiaojiao.

She had been genuinely angry earlier, hitting the child without holding back, and he hoped she hadn't hurt herself in her rage.

Imagine parents of human children guiding them through homework; most people could probably empathize.

Great Bai's gaze followed Chen Ying's hands, and once he finished the preliminary check and was certain Jiaojiao was fine, it was clear to see Great Bai breathe a sigh of relief.

He brought Bamboo over to lie next to Jiaojiao and Great Bai, then casually picked up Big Baby by the scruff of the neck and headed to the first-floor examination room.

After a thorough physical examination of his bones and fur, Big Baby was so content that he didn't want to leave and even wanted Chen Ying to rub his belly and spine.

Chen Ying indulged his small request and reported to Brother Leopard, lying outside, about Big Baby's development.

"He's being raised well. Even though he's only six months old, his bones, claws, and teeth are all in good shape for learning to hunt."

He patted Big Baby's firm rear end.

"This child will be able to live independently by next spring. I have faith he'll become a jungle sovereign just like you and Leopard Sister."

As long as there are no tigers, leopards are at the top of the food chain.

"Speaking of which, did you see that tiger on your trip?"

Many people had been tracking this tiger, but unfortunately, there had been no further sightings. To this day, there's still a heated debate over the species of this tiger.

Most people believe it might be a Bengal Tiger that crossed over Snow Mountain.

But in his heart, Chen Ying felt that this tiger was more like a Huanan Tiger.

As for whether it was or wasn't, they would only know if they found it.

Brother Leopard opened his mouth, worked his jowls, cocked his head, "Haven't seen it, but I heard it went further south. What's up? You seem pretty concerned about it."

Brother Leopard didn't understand humans' obsession with species.

In its view, if life becomes unsustainable, it's natural to leave and find a new territory where one can survive.

Whether that tiger is a Huanan Tiger or a Bengal Tiger doesn't matter to it; a tiger is a tiger after all.

Two hours later, Leopard Sister returned, leading a limping, soaking wet Little Baby.

"What happened?"

Chen Ying hurried to pick up Little Baby but received a threatening snarl from the little one, resulting in a tail whip from its mother.

Little Baby grunted and was held up by Chen Ying who felt around his bones before setting him down.

"It's alright, looks like a slight muscle strain, no issues with the bones."

He found a large towel to dry off Little Baby's fur and placed his portion of rabbit meat in front of him before turning to Leopard Sister.

"Let's go, Leopard Sister, I'll do a full body check-up on you. How's the old injury? Any unusual feelings?"

Leopard Sister flicked her tail as she followed him into the examination room, adeptly hopping onto the table without further prompting, laying on her side, and leisurely licking her paws as she answered.

"It's alright, the hind leg feels a bit tight when I exert force, but it's bearable. And the bones are a bit uncomfortable, it hurts a bit when it rains."

With his patient cooperative, Chen Ying didn't call for Little Sen's help and completed the check-up by himself.

"The bones look fine now, but considering the severity of the injury, it may be difficult to recover to a pre-injury state. As for the internal organs..."

Chen Ying glanced at Leopard Sister, pondered for a moment, then crouched down to meet her gaze.

"Leopard Sister, I'm planning to perform surgery on you, but after the surgery, there may not be many chances for you to have offspring again."

Leopard Sister stopped licking her paws, her face lifting slightly, looking at Chen Ying.
